Quote of the Week

From the comments section of this post at The Confluence: Whatever anyone says about “concern” that the public is merely “lashing out” and “aren’t thinking this through” is just so much noise. The public is indeed thinking. They are thinking that we can’t even DISCUSS policy direction until we yank our politicians up by the shorthairs enough [...]

Holding up the mirror

Reno held it’s own satellite Rally to Restore Sanity at Nu Yalk Pizza yesterday. We had Lady Democracy handing out pocket Constitutions, a poster contest*, and three hours of cannoli, coffee, pizza, and fun. Sweetie had originally planned on going with me, but he had carpentry plans (building a winter shelter for the dogs on [...]

I’ve got to get to work but . . .

Some links for your perusal. Go read Maven’s front page. Lots of good stuff over there, especially her stuff on this season’s campaign spending.

Stop it right now!

Gawd, the left is so good at these stupid, bullshit things.  Like giving baby bottle tops to Alan Simpson. Embarrassing, really. And I like NOW. And the constant railing against FOX. Waste of time. What’s the point?  What Gaius said: But a campaign to get him fired from a network we don’t watch but his fans do [...]
