Who’s Discriminating Now?

Who’s Discriminating Now?

There was a time when a ballot measure banning race discrimination would have received the whole-hearted support of civil rights organizations. My how their principles change once the race discrimination is in their favor. I hate bigotry and hypocrisy equally.

Awww, isn’t dis wittle guy so… offensive!

Awww, isn’t dis wittle guy so… offensive!

Can you find what’s so outrageously offensive in the above ad? Well, duh… of course it’s got to be the puppy. This little guy is Rebel, a German Shepherd police dog “recruit” who’s been featured recently on police fliers in the Scottish town of Tayside. Now the Muslims in the nearby Dundee [...]

Shot Heard Round the World

Shot Heard Round the World

The US Consitution dodged a bullet today… and socialism took it in the gut. In a landmark 5-4 ruling the US Supreme Court recalibrated the anti-gun wingnuts. The high court repeated to us the 2nd Amendment - using small words we ALL could understand - which secures the citizen’s right to own firearms [...]

School: 1958 vs. 2008

School: 1958 vs. 2008

I just got this in an email forward. I’m sure most everyone has seen it before, but I hadn’t and I found it to be cute, pithy, and too truthful.
Jack goes quail hunting before school, pulls into school parking lot with shotgun in gun rack.
1958 - Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack’s shotgun, [...]

A Small Town Response To Barack Obama

A Small Town Response To Barack Obama

Will Manly, a reporter for the Hays Daily News (until he just joined the Navy), wrote an insightful small town response to Barack Obama. In “celebration” of Osama Obama’s recent conquest of his party’s nomination I’ve decided to repost Mr. Manly’s letter here in it’s entirety.
Growing up in a small town myself [...]

Judge Orders Polygamist Kids Freed - I Told Ya’ It Wasn’t Right

Judge Orders Polygamist Kids Freed - I Told Ya’ It Wasn’t Right

I had blogged that I was bothered by the Texas police raid on that polygamist compound, where it seemed ludicrous that the People’s Republic of Texas could go into these private citizens’ homes on an anonymous tip and take their children away with no evidence… and even the “tip” implied that it was only the [...]

They Destroyed My Reputation Says Hooker (!?)

They Destroyed My Reputation Says Hooker (!?)

According to a story today, New York’s darling-est whore, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, is suing Joe Francis, the maker of “Girls Gone Wild” (GGW). If you don’t remember, I blogged about Ashley Dupré in March when she took down Eliot Spitzer… in the political sense.
Now, that GGW guy Joe Francis is scum for sure… but [...]

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

The following is a discussion snippet from Compassion International’s blog. They recently had a blog post debating transparency versus marketing with respect to the best direction for the content of their blog.
During the conversation I ran into Ashleigh, a 21-yr-old schoolgirl who seemed full of inexperience and strong opinions. For example, [...]

Iron Man - Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

Iron Man - Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

I just saw Iron Man at the theater. You’ll read some of my criticisms here, but all in all it was a fun and exhilarating cinematic ride. Oh yeah… minimal spoilers, so relax (in case you don’t read comic books)!
The Acting
This was a pure gem for Robert Downey Jr. as he masterfully filled [...]

Earth Day 2008 - What can you do?

Earth Day 2008 - What can you do?

It’s Earth Day 2008 and everyone is talking green - despite the ridiculously hypocritical nature [pun] of it all. I’m not big on the greenies or their leftist propaganda… but I do like this big rock we’re living on. I like it because the chances of a rock just like this to support [...]
