Reality Potion.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the machinations of the Yankees’ negotiations with Derek Jeter: NEW YORK — Negotiations between the Yankees and Derek Jeter are at a standstill until Jeter and his agent, Casey Close, “drink the reality potion,” according to a source close to the negotiations. According to the source, a baseball [...]

Bacon Double Cheesburger Deluxe and a Diet Coke.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has announced a two-year pay freeze for federal employees, saying the step is necessary to help bring the federal deficit under control. The freeze would apply to all civilian federal employees but would exclude military personnel. Obama says the sacrifices of limiting government spending must be shared by government [...]

Coincidence?

As you gather around the table with your family this Thanksgiving, ask yourself this question: are you better off today than you were four years ago? Unfortunately, most Americans are not. [snip] If you watch the economic statistics from week to week and month to month, it will seem like sometimes they are getting worse [...]

Lemonade.

I mean (among other rather obvious things), life did give them lemons. Ten stewardesses with troubled Mexicana airlines, which filed for bankruptcy in August and suspended operations, launched a sultry aviation-themed calendar Thursday in a bid to call attention to their own plight and that of their airline—one of the world’s oldest. The 2011 calendar [...]

TSA . . . T&A?

LAX traveler Corinne Theile has apparently solved the problem of awkward TSA security pat downs. “I’m wearing my bikini,” Corinne Theile said as she unbuttoned her overcoat outside the terminal to reveal a black two-piece. “It’s not that I’m concerned, it’s that I feel like the TSA is making travelers feel uncomfortable, and I feel [...]

The Country’s In the Very Best of Hands.

Oh. My. God. Whistling past the graveyard here, folks. Whistling past the graveyard.

BREAKING–Liberal Feminist Loves Her Some Palin.

I’ve always been confused with the rejection by “Big Feminism” of the eminently strong, independent and powerful Sarah Palin. Perhaps it’s because I just don’t understand what it means to be a feminist. I’m sure that’s what some feminists will tell me, but I don’t buy it. I’m sort of smart and good at figuring [...]

Number Two.

Boy, if it doesn’t seem that the Yankees are about to give old Number 2 a “number two” of their own, doesn’t it? For the uninitiated, here’s a good summary to bring you up to speed. “Derek Jeter is a great Yankee and he’s a great player. With that said and done, now is a [...]

War on Profits.

A company is able to provide goods and services to you only if it makes more money by selling those things to you than it costs him to produce those things. Otherwise, why bother, right? If it costs $100 to make a candy bar, but nobody is willing to pay Hershey more than $2 for [...]

Dancing With the Moonbats.

I don’t watch Dancing With the Stars, but based on my understanding of other shows of this nature, the format is simple. A bunch of has beens, nearly beens and never was-es are paid to compete in a faux dance “competition” so that gawkers may assemble and ratings may accrue. Actual dance competitions composed of [...]

Looking for Mr. Goodbar.

The TSA screenings are absurd. The offense however, rests not on the premise that the State does not have an interest in preventing terrorists from boarding planes with weapons (it does), but instead on the foolish notion that the State must not discriminate whom it subjects to its terrorist prevention measures. My high school had [...]

Eloi Nation.

Love her or hate her, Anne Coulter’s on the money with this one.  What all perpetrators of terrorism against the United States in the last 10 years have in common is NOT that they use weapons but that they are Muslim. To pretend that’s not relevant is horrifying on an Eloi scale. It’s . . [...]

Incentives.

The 2010 census has shown that people are leaving states with high income tax rates and settling in states with low income tax rates. Low-tax states will gain seats, high-tax states will lose them | Washington Examiner. Eight states are projected to gain at least one congressional seat under reapportionment following the 2010 Census: Texas [...]

Blame Game.

Whatever you thought of President George W. Bush, he never, not once, ever blamed Bill Clinton for the 8 years of foreign policy ineptitude that led inevitably to 9/11–though he quite justifiably could have done so. The 1990′s were filled with terrorist acts and not all were either directed against the US or committed by [...]

Five Angels.

Watching this idiot parade around like 10 pounds of shit stuffed in a 5 pound bag has gotten me thinking about the absurdity of life. It didn’t always used to be this way. Hell, maybe it did. Maybe I was just too blind to see it. Maybe the apparatus of media spin was more efficient [...]

Blogging again soon.

It’s been too long, my friends. I’ll get back to doing this regularly again soon. Stay tuned…
