Just a thought

While half-listening to Fox News this morning, one interview caught my interest. A mom of a survivor of the VA Tech shooting debated appeared alongside a NRA staffer to discuss a new (proposed?)

News you can use (the movers arrive in a few hours edition)

I thought all the hopey-changey racial identity politics was supposed to end once O was anointed elected.  Not make it worse.  As Obama attempts to “reconnect” with every ethnicity save the white guy I wonder if he realizes he would not have won sans the white guy votes.  Pogue.  Check out Another Black Conservative’s reaction (and he used [...]

The movers arrive in TWO days?! (Various and Sundry)

New conclusion: it’s much easier to pull the stakes and move out after living in a home two years than it is four.  Roots run deeper. Playing catch-up with the news. Yea for Arizona’s new immigration law which makes it a crime to be in the state illegally.  A no-brainer, really, except the liberals are beside [...]

Via the always-interesting-recovering-liberal-psychotherapist, Robin of Berkeley writing at American Thinker:  My twenty-something client Emma, a survivor of the Berkeley public schools, had a coughing fit during our session.
