Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it And spills the upper boulders in the sun, And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. — from “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost —– The first polls are closing on the East coast as I start this. We know that, come January 20, some statist will occupy the White House and believe he’s the lord of us all. He’ll preside over the growth of the welfare state and the warfare state. He’ll claim the right to kill us at will or lock us up without due…

Those blood-sucking vermin in state and national capitals and city halls everywhere
And why? The comments on my earlier “V for Vendetta Day” post — two Gary Johnson supporters immediately speaking up — got me wondering. So if you don’t mind me asking (or even if you do), here’s a two-parter: * Are you voting or have you already v*ted in tomorrow’s election? * And what value do you realistically expect your v*te to produce? Not trying to dis anybody here. Though I’ve been a non-v*ter for 18 years, v*ting was hugely important to me from the time I was a little kid & I understand the urge to do it and…
On this day before yet another dismal, overhyped, mediocrity-promoting, statist-embracing, distinction-without-a-difference election … Happy V for Vendetta Day. I know what I’m watching tonight, how ’bout you?
Well, in some places that was as bad as everybody thought it would be. Oy, that picture of seawater flooding into the PATH station — impressive. A lot of phony photos of Sandy have been circulating, though. I’m not sure this one of a Niagra of seawater flooding into the World Trade Center construction site is real; it’s credited to the AP, but there so much to sort out yet. Is anybody hereabouts planning to participate in National Novel Writing Month? I’m thinking about it, but the idea scares the bejabbers out of me. “The Island Where People Forget to…
Obama staffer: vote early and often. (H/T O) Those prescription drugs in your emergency kit might last longer than you think. Maybe decades longer. (I’d be cautious, though, especially with antibiotics.) Why is the Taliban so scared of little girls? And why are Muslim leaders always so quiet about monstrous acts like this? So, Barack, you wanna debate civil liberties? Why do Ashkenazi Jews tend to have such high IQs? Interesting speculations. I’ve been having trouble getting around to several things, including a review of Wendy McElroy’s new book, The Art of Living Free. So just let me say a…
Just be sure to vote for the loser. Not a loser (that goes without saying). But the loser. (H/T S.S.)
Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Obama. We eat this stuff??? Occasionally, there is justice of a sort after a puppycide. But no real justice until the cops know they’ll have to pay personally. Otherwise, it’s just more of the usual from thugs, cowards, and incompetents. Gold bars salted with tungsten: not just a paranoid rumor any more. Beloved service dog Bingo Hein has died, leaving a legacy of giving. J.D. Tuccille takes apart that report on the angelic innocence of Eric Holder. Or at least the media coverage of it.
Pregnant woman is glad to learn her rape was illegitimate. (Via The Onion, of course.) Bait and switch. And here I thought cats were sneaky! I still think those feddies are up to no good no matter how they dodge the issue. Obviously, I’m not the only one. Oliver Stone. Yay. Michael Moore. Boo. But together they make an excellent case for Julian Assange and free speech. Whatever Assange did or didn’t do in Sweden (and the whole case seems to be a preposterous he said/she said over actions that wouldn’t be considered a crime anywhere outside of Sweden), the…
Didn’t watch the Olympics? Darned good thing! Satan might have taken over your brain. Hm. Maybe that explains the guy in that picture. Naw. His brain (sic) just got taken over by stupid. Oh brother, they’re at it again. Guns as a disease. And this is more pseudo-sophisticated than the last attempt. (H/T PT) Is this a new low? Wrong-house raid with puppycide and handcuffed children. Just for starters. Clearly St. Paul cops were going for a world record in cruel and unconstitutional. Pretty amazing. Does it always seem worse when whistleblowers uncover secret spy systems that are not only…
Everybody’s up in arms about this. They’re commenting up a storm. And we dare not let this event pass without giving it a hard, though quick, kick where it hurts. But c’mon. A) The article is just one idiot’s ill-informed concept of insurgency. (The Tea Party; oh please!) B) Is there one, single person here who doesn’t already know, who hasn’t known for years (and years!), that the U.S. military is gearing up for a War on Us? Heck, their shock troops — the militarized cops, the intimidators of the TSA, and all their verminous their ilk — have already…
