News – Politics – Opinion – Podcasts
I would LOVE to be hale and hearty enough to try this – REALLY! But reality is sinking in that my mortal coil may get unsprung permanently if I tried. From Boing Boing: Remember – all politics all the time makes for a very dreary place…
OK, this is not turning out to be the "serious post" night that I thought it would be…so, have some fun with this. Just stay with it – the good stuff starts in at about the 52 second mark: (H/T: Boing Boing)

There is a growing emergency on the horizon, as you can see below: The problem is vampires causing car … Read more
…first check a map BEFORE flapping your gums? Ideology over brains, at work, in Milwaukee. (H/T: Read Debate Wisconsin – Hi Fred!) I was listening to the Lars Larson radio show while out and about this evening – Peggy West’s fellow board member was on….and it was pointed out that she proudly displays a Mexican … Read more
This is such great humor, especially as we roll into the Primaries… Do you know anyone like this?
There’s a new facebook page up with the unoriginal goal of making Kelly Ayotte look goofy. It’s called Kelly Ayatch. The page features a rather unflattering picture of Kelly Ayotte with an angry look. And Kelly’s favorite television show…Rachel Maddow. And this may come as a surprise but several of the four Kelly Ayatch friends, like Barack Obama. The page’s first friend … Read more
This is a hoot:
In an effort to stop age discrimination bars, restaurants, and retailers will no longer be able to ask people to show proof of age when buying alcohol, and signs saying we proof up to age 40 will have to be removed. This stems from repeated complaints that people who appear to be old enough are … Read more
Recent discussion about opposing opinions being mandated alongside existing internet content got me thinking. Could we apply this to everything on-line? Ads for fruit would need to include references to candy-bars of salty snacks. Omaha Steaks would need to include a click through to Purdue chicken.

Heh – filed under Humor! Who knew – a circus all in a single part of one column (from the Union Leader, John DiStaso’s after my take on it). It goes on for a bit, so, let me give you the ‘Grok abridged version: Steve quotes the ruling of the NH Supremes to set off … Read more
Introducing RU-IR8, the new electoral abortifacient specifically designed to provide political relief for voters exposed to left-wing rhetoric without proper protection.
With tongue planted firmly in cheek, I offer this diatribe: From the desk of the Associated Progressive Press International, [APPI].Washington, D.C. Headline- New Cabinet Position Created! In keeping with a more diverse approach to the holiday season, a new Cabinet position has been created; that of The Department of Religious and Social Affairs [DRSA]. The … Read more
You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California .
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Ready? Now pay attention…
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $ 1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.

From a regular reader of the ‘Grok, and one of our usual suppliers of great humor… Black Bra I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is engaged,one is a mistress, and of course I have been married for 20+ years. We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our men by … Read more
This is but one of the many beloved "non-profit" groups that will thrive [and spend taxpayer dollars] under Obama’s vision for a socialistic utopian America. No thanks. From ALG:
