Potpourri

Who said the Cold War was over? Russians unveil new fighter jet. This scares me: William Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection on the liberal angst regarding the Supreme Court decision a few weeks ago on the First Amendment (Citizens United).  And this from NRO via Pundette: “Our argument in the case wasn’t complicated,” says Bossie. “It [...]

Always a party when it’s not your purse

Pundette detailed the excess of the congressional junket to Copenhagen last month on our dime. What would you pay for two days in Copenhagen? Or more accurately, what did you pay? In a follow up to her initial report, Sharyl Attkisson of CBS does more real reporting on our governing class, for whom nothing is [...]

A Caveat for College Ball

I admit to hearing PJ Husband declare the BCS system “idiotic” over the years.  But does it truly require Presidential intervention? College football is big business.  As such, be forewarned: tread with caution while dealing with the President and his merry camp of Marxist minions.  You never know what you’ll end up “conceding:” the right [...]

This just in: news of Climategate slow to reach caves

Laughter always perks me up more than coffee. Drudge headline this morning: Bin Laden blasts US for climate change. Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called in a new audiotape for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming. In the tape, [...]

“Well, I said it ‘with all due respect’”

ROTFL. PJ Husband on Obama’s “With all due deference to the separation of powers” moment last night:

Cleaning leads to clarity (You should try it sometime, Mr. Brooks)

There’s only so much all-Obama-all-the-time I can take when the reality of three more years of the same ahead smacks me in the face.   It did this morning.   Facebook stoked my anger rather than a providing a diversion: too many “I ♥ Obama and listening to him makes me swoon” comments gave rise to nausea.  So I busied myself [...]

“With all due deference to separation of powers?”

Pardon me, King Obama.  Rock on, Justice Alito.  In case you couldn’t stomach too much of tonight’s SOTU, (or in case you imbibed a little too much watching), here’s my highlight of the evening.  Justice Alito shaking his head, mouthing “not true,” to the defamations Obama made concerning the SCOTUS ruling last week.  .” Better video here at [...]

Organic Family Planning

Who knew Catholics were so hip and with it, eh?  I guess some folks haven’t heard of NFP (Natural Family Planning) or FAM (Fertility Awareness Method).  From Creative Minority Report (Hat Tip: Pundit and Pundette): I was over a friend’s house picking up a buddy of mine this past weekend. He wasn’t ready so I ended [...]

Be Thankful for Primetime SOTU

At least the markets are closed. PJ Husband on the way home tonight: “Are we watching SOTU?  Might as well so we can see why our investments plummet.” More to come.

Pantybomber copycats ’round the globe!

Except this one tried to smuggle lizards in his undies.  44 of ‘em.  From the SF Gate: A German reptile collector has been jailed for 14 weeks and must pay a 5,000 New Zealand dollar ($3,540) fine for plundering New Zealand’s wild gecko and skink populations, a judge has ruled. Hans Kurt Kubus, 58, is [...]
