Also tagged abuse of power, Economics, lie to me, Obama, PoliticsI paid the hosting bill for Ratlands over the weekend. It comes out to about $10 a month. Not my most expensive hobby, by far. (And no, I’m not soliciting donations. This is my own personal addiction.) I’ve been blogging at Ratlands.com for 5 years now. I bought the Ratlands.com domain name in June of […]

Also tagged Personal, pointless gestures, zombiesThere’s an absolutely stunning post at The Law Dog Files. The post is a series of answers to “20 questions” from a gun control advocate (who is apparently a member of the Brady Campaign Board, although that information is not accessible on her web site).

Sunday, the Head Rat and I joined my folks at the Neal Reunion and then visited cemeteries […]

Wouldn’t that be horrible? […]
Also tagged Economics, global warming, lie to me, Politics, wtf?First, a little inspired silliness from Dr. Boli: A letter to the Editor An advertisement for a unique literary service An advertisement for a unique martial arts dojo Second, I was apparently wrong last night about the Obama LSD being deliciously appropriate. This is deliciously appropriate. Also at Moonbattery, an Economic Stimulus Flow Chart Say […]
Also tagged Economics, humor, Obama, PoliticsThere is no consistent thread here, just stuff I found interesting. Q and O has a chart that shows what our tax rates would have to be raised to in order to eliminate the deficit. (That’s just how much more the Feds are currently spending than taking in. It assumes that nothing stupid like reducing […]
