Bowls and Circuses


When a nation seizes the fairly earned wages of its citizens in order to pay a misogynist to advertise a bankrupt automobile company, that nation deserves to fail. That’s all I got.

Can Bankrupt Governments take Bankruptcy


The answer is that no government can take bankruptcy. The most recent of the result of a government going bust is the Union of Soviet Republics: it had to finally dissolve itself out of existence when its state-secrets became too burdensome. There are some Americans sayings States should be allowed to file bankruptcy. The Federal [...]

Speechless …


There are some things that just leave me too speechless to comment rationally upon. This is one of them. Fayetteville, North Carolina,  home of Fort Bragg, is planning a 10-day celebration and homecoming this November to honor Vietnam Vets.  As part of this celebration, Fayetteville Mayor Tony Chavonne has decided to “honor” the Vets by [...]

Super Hype Time Again


Oh, Lord, the football hype between Chicago and Green Bay is getting just a bit silly. Help!, I am an innocent bystander caught between their crossfires. My college classmate, Fritz Laeser of Edgewater Inn & Cottages wrote last Wednesday: Aaron Rodgers, who art in Lambeau, Hallowed be thine arm. Thy bowl will come, it will [...]

Blood Libel Irony


As an official Jewish mother I find nothing wrong with Sarah Palin describing what has been done to her as a Blood Libel.  Blood Libel is the false accusation of murders.  For millenia it has been the tool the Jew hater has used against the Jewish people.  It is still the tool used to this [...]

When Liberals Don’t Lie


If  you loathe the Constitution for the flaws it once contained, how can you in honesty take an oath to protect and preserve it?  If you took the oath only to obtain the office, but hold the Constitution in contempt, then your office and your service is a fraud.  http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2011/01/028085.php The guys at Powerline are [...]

None So Blind


I can’t top the Powerline guys when it comes to analyzing Palestinian Arabs so I am not going to even try This is, by a wide margin, the sickest culture on Earth, and for the foreseeable future, there isn’t anything that can be done about it. The only question is why do people like Condoleezza [...]

The Worst of Times


Trying to explain what public schools were like in the 1970s to my son is difficult.   He finds it easier to believe in wizards that play ball on broomsticks than to believe in what the best minds of the day thought were educational breakthroughs.  Recently I tried to explain to him why I never learned [...]

A Belated Christmas Present


While visiting an art museum the Burkeanson was able to tell all the stories of Greek and Roman Mythology and the Old Testament, but he knew very little of the stories from the life of Christ.     He has read of Jesus and his impact in history books, but he knew very little of the parables and [...]

Carter Wasn’t This Bad


Okay let me see if I have this straight.   http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2010/11/wikileaks-completes-obamas.html  Our nation’s most vital secrets can not be protected from anyone who cares to publish them.  BUT our Dept. of Homeland Security can molest little girls in airports?  When I said worse than Carter even I couldn’t imagine this.  At least Carter didn’t send government agents [...]

Blessed Miguel Pro, Pray for Us. Lord, hear our prayers.


During the immediate past century the Progressives (Socialists to those of us less politically correct about such nonsensical ideas) had throw the world in continuous warfare over misguided pursuits of re-making man into Marx’s wet-dream. We are told of the Germans and Russians foolish attempt with the “Progressives” approval of the latter’s attempts. Little news [...]

Never Forget


This is one of the most powerful posts I’ve read in a while.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/11/the_holocaust_denialminimizati.html

Opting Out #2


1. That guy in San Diego who refused to have his “junk” felt-up nor photographed is an interesting comment upon American mores. Is referring to one’s sexual organs as “junk” truly descriptive of a decadent society. 2. Some idiots want to have an national opt-out day from being photographed or groped at the airport security. [...]

Is This The Twighlight Zone?


“The plumber is smarter than the Ben Bernanke”  well who didn’t know that?   If my country wasn’t destroying itself I would really love this http://spectator.org/blog/2010/11/16/bernanke-slammedby-teddy-bear Warning bad language.  The people smart enough to make this video are smart enough to come up with better ways to use their words.

Give ‘Em Heck, George


I haven’t enjoyed a George F. Will column this much in I don’t know how long:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/03/AR2010110303844.html?nav=hcmoduletmv Moral: don’t play George Will.  I’m guessing the POTUS won’t be coming over for dinner again anytime soon.

The Rump Party


So now that we’ve, or rather Minnesota and Wisconsin, established that the GOP will not be a rump party confined to the south, when do we see the stories about the Democrat Rump Party?   Will the MSM be reporting that the Democrats are now confined only to most of the Northeast and, God help [...]

Juan Is Me


Juan Williams was fired for saying what most Americans think but are afraid to say out loud.  Because in the land of free speech, some speech is more free than others.  I get nervous when I fly with Muslims, or ride a bus or train.  Am I an Islamaphobe?  Muslims have been brutally killing people [...]
