* Obama wants to posthumously hang Paul Revere for spying. 🙂 (H/T Chris from comments) ** Looks as if these hopeful Canadian filmmakers aren’t going to make their modest goal. Only 15 hours left as I write this. Too bad. A mention over at LRC could probably have put them over the top in an hour. (H/T Wendy) *** 15 photos from the Egyptian protests that you’ll never see in “vintage media.” Wow. These people get it! **** Best comment yet on Big O’s embarrassing and probably illegal delay of the employer mandate for Obamacare. ***** ADDED courtesy of Beth…

A “Farewell to Arms” in Colorado — and as the Dutchman says, “Let the smuggling begin.” Speaking of the Dutchman (Mike Vanderboegh, of course), he’s just been interviewed on Freedom Feens. Only bureaucrats (aka “policymakers”) could be flummoxed by cannabis legalization — a trend that’s been ongoing for nearly 20 years. A former STASI snoop is appalled … … while the wits of Las Vegas make tourist hay out of the NSA. Wi-Vi. Ugh. (H/T MJR) Wait a minute. You stole their guns. And after the Glorious Leader of your Glorious Country says to give the darn things back (H/T…
Might have been too busy to post. Not to busy to collect tabstuff. If I fail to credit sources it’s because I’ve forgotten where some of it came from. Sigh. “How to disappear without a trace.” Not in a good way, unfortunately … Quietly, with almost no notice even in the financial press, France has outlawed any mailing of currency, coins, or precious metals — a ban that appears about to spread to other parts of Europe. What a coincidence that big, government-approved money launderers banks and investors don’t use mail to ship their loot resources. For the most part,…
We must ban those deadly stiletto assault heels NOW! Well, that’s a different look at Snowden and the NSA … Medical marijuana. For our pets. (H/T. L) Hm. This is the first thing I’ve heard that makes me think a smartphone could be a great idea. (I’m sure there are other things; just none that grabbed me.) Double hm. What exactly is Governor Sandoval of Nevada up to? Might be worth the 15 seconds it takes, especially if it ticks off Bloomberg. While I disagree with her lumping us with “we,” whistleblower Sibel Edmonds has a point. (Heard on NPR…
Okay, a little lightening up seems in order. Dogs in pantyhose. Petheadz portraits by Zachary Rose. And in honor of graduation season: Six college degrees for dogs. Eight signs your cat is actually a dog: Source for those who don’t see the embed. And what if your roommates were like cats or dogs? Source.
Because, you know, “survival-types aren’t known for being the most socially suave category of people…” (Tip o’ hat to C^2)
Dan Brown’s got a new potboiler coming out. I like Dan Brown. I wish I could boil the pot like he does. Critics disagree. One says so in a familiar voice. 🙂 Almost a neighbor. Glad he’s not quite. Yet another judge fails to grasp the Fourth Amendment. (H/T JJ) Travis (TJIC) Corcoran’s upcoming novel sounds intriguing. I’d think so even if he didn’t take my name in vain in his trendy self-interview thingie. The Escherian stairwell 😉 Okay, so we’ve all heard about how the IRS illegally targeted tea party and related groups around the 2012 election. And they…
I was working on this really, you know, weighty and probably even profound blog post about expectations vs reality. Specifically school vs reality and the way things that we’re taught are really, really vitally important … aren’t. But forget that. That thought didn’t gel. Or hasn’t yet. While researching, however, I found this take on expectations vs reality. Different. 🙂 A tasty (well, I wouldn’t actually count on that …) sample from that link:
If Sin City had been made in Canada (NB, some NSFW language): Source for those who can’t see the embed.
Strange bedfellows. But I’d be willing to commit a whole lot of unnatural acts with the ACLU as long as they’re on our side on guns and databases. Great idea for great activists. And great use of the power of social media. Sure, the thugs could rip the bracelet off, but surely this would give them pause. Maybe you have to know the people and place involved, but I think this video from Joel and Friends is a screaming hoot. Let’s just say you had one of these. But in semi-auto. With quite a few extras. (Here’s a more thorough…
