Quote of the day

From tjic: Doing away with a politician’s ability to borrow would be like cutting off one of his arms – it takes two hands to really get a good choke grip on a citizen when you’re anally penetrating him, and thus losing the ability to borrow, like losing an arm, takes away much of the [...]

Too true

I saw this on a sign company marquee today: Crime doesn’t pay as well as Incumbency.

Quote of the Day (from yesterday)

From the guys at Hillbuzz: But, we still can’t figure out why Avatar makes so much money.  We thought it was essentially Disney’s Pocahontas, but with Smurf-cats and a planet that had about 6 different kinds of animals on it, all of which were just blue, six legged versions of the animals here.  Like they [...]

Having not been terribly politically active in the past 30 years (the last time I contributed to a political campaign was for John Anderson in 1980), it has been extremely gratifying to know that my support is the reason Massachusetts [...]

The Sunday Night “Drink the Kool-aid” link-fest

The Halloween Quotefest (and assorted thoughts)

David Harsanyi points out that the King James Bible has just over 600 pages, Newton’s Principa Mathematica has 974 and the newest Health Care Insurance bill has more than 1900.  On the subject of the bill he says: You will, of course, need to be plastered to buy Pelosi’s fantastical proposition that 450,000 words of [...]

Big raise and a bestiary

Big Raise: John Galt has charts and graphs to show that while we’re being told the average wage of hourly workers has steadily risen over the past 9 years, the machinations of the Fed have diluted your buying power so as to produce a net gain of less than 2 cents an hour.  Unlike the [...]

Words of Wisdom from Rat Jr.

I guess this is just “Dad” talking, but I’ve really enjoyed watching Rat Jr. become more politically aware and seeing how her political thought has evolved over the past few years.  Thankfully she seems amazingly unafflicted by most the socialist, utopian crap that was bubbling around in my head, preventing rational thought when I was [...]
