Yet More Fraudian Slips from the Fake Background of Our Composite President

May 20, 2012

A week or so ago, I noted that the odd perspective and lighting had led analysts to question the authenticity of the famous Obama-Osama situation room photograph. (Another Fraudian Slip from the Obama Administration?) Little did I know that, like many politicians, Obama had been partial to a little creative resume enhancement: You don’t have [ Read more ]

You KNOW what my first thought was when I saw this photo:

May 20, 2012

Thought: so, when do we see a reporter climbing INTO a pot to mock Obama’s EATING of a dog?  If this Seattle based reporter wants to much to make fun of an old, old story of Romney’s Seamus the dog, let’s see her, in the vaunted spirit of bipartisanship that I keep hearing from Democrats [ Read more ]

Oh, by the way, the reason for not posting a lot today from all of us….

May 19, 2012

…is that we had a GrokMeeting today.  Every so often we Groksters get together and sling some political news and stories back and forth.  What surprised me is that I thought today’s meeting would be a couple of hours like they have in the past; instead, it turned out to be an entire afternoon of [ Read more ]

May 19, 2012

Happy news that Amanda Merrill is not running again for the New Hampshire Senate.  In her stead, former Merrill clone–or perhaps I have that reversed–Martha Fuller “brush” Clark, will run to fill the seat.  Merrill and Clarke are both EMILY’s list support alums.  They are hewed from the same bit of socialist flotsam, with Clark [ Read more ]

Notable Quote – Don Boudreaux on H.L. Mencken

May 18, 2012

Public policies are determined and laws are made by small minorities playing upon the fears and imbecilities of the mob – sometimes minorities of intelligent and honest men, but usually minorities of rogues. – H.L Mencken No better summary of modern government has ever been penned. – Prof. Don Boudreaux, economics (H/T: Cafe Hayek)

Will people of Faith stand up to defend that Faith?

May 18, 2012

The beginning of this extremely well done video lays out the call to Catholics to help protect their faith and their values: In generations past, the Church has always been able to count on the faithful to stand up and protect her sacred rights and duties. This generation of Catholics must do the same. Now [ Read more ]

One of the quickest ways to get “The Look” from TMEW is to show her this picture of this rig and ask…

May 18, 2012

  …”Wouldn’t this look great on MY desk?” (even as she knows that I don’t play computer games).   A pitiful “Please?” didn’t help either….   More nice setups at the link.  (H/T: Caveman Circus)

Trayvon, Hurricanes, And Faux Pow Wow Chow

May 18, 2012

If you’ve recovered from the underwhelming Facebook IPO, perhaps you are ready for this? Trayvon was beating George Zimmerma badly before the man finally shot him in self-defense.  There is no doubt about that. So here’s an observation for the anti-second amendment clowns who are always insisting that lawfully armed citizens run away from any [ Read more ]

‘Properties’ of Marriage

May 18, 2012

Marriage is always a great topic to visit in New Hampshire.  It irritates so many people on so many sides.  But if we ever put it to a vote of the people, New Hampshire would join the ranks of every other state to define “marriage” as a union between one man and one woman.  Which [ Read more ]

Internet Doodlings – “meanwhile, back over at Treehugger…”

May 17, 2012

Yeah, back there again.  While the name connotes an environmental bent (which it does), there is enough there to start proving “Green on the outside, Red on the inside”.  Or at a minimum, think the Nanny State with Nurse Ratched looking back at you.  Doubt me?  Loyal reader C.

And so it begins – resisting religious tyranny

May 17, 2012

Although the political conversation over the last week or so has been Obama’s personal redefinition of what traditional marriage is, let’s not forget that he and HHS Secretary Sebelius decided that they were after yet another “First” – the First Administration that felt they had the authority to redefine what a religious organization is or [ Read more ]
