For your weekend viewing pleasure. Whoof! This would be amazing even it weren’t being performed by a 53-year-old movie star. It’s oddly beautiful, besides. Wind-powered monsters. You’d swear they were alive. (More here) And finally Naked Dancing Swedes. You’ll have to click on the link to watch it. YouTube has this locked away behind an “adults only” login. So I can’t embed it and am sending you to an alternative (non-locked) site. And yeah … it’s kinda R-rated. But funny.

Okay, here’s a bonus set of Amazon holiday links, just because I find this weirdly funny. Since going (um … mostly) primal, I’ve developed a jones for maple-cured bacon. This being a pricey item at the local grocer, I checked to see what Amazon had. I laughed to discover how many maple-bacon products there are. Very few of them involving any actual bacon. Then during my seashore excursion last week, I delved into bins of salt-water taffy (you see what I mean about “mostly” primal). Amidst the traditional flavors, there it was: maple-bacon taffy. Curious, but with an inward eeeeeew,…
2 CommentsRemember how officials and media in the statist-states released data and maps showing the locations of known gun owners? Well, now Montana has issued its own gunowner map. Wyoming is rumored to be not far behind.
11 CommentsSpeaking of matters governmental that seem laughable from a distance but are hellish portents: here’s the latest from that bastion of central planning, Venezuela. Yes, it’s a joke to think about soldiers being sent to force retailers to sell only at what some pol or ‘crat thinks is the “fair price.” But not so funny a joke, eh? And how familiar is this? The problems that Maduro says he is trying to combat – price speculation, hoarding of goods by manufacturers and distributors, abuse of Venezuela’s currency system, contraband flowing into neighboring Colombia – all exist, Venezuelan political analyst Luis…
4 CommentsAs we speak, Dear Leader is about to announce that — lucky you! — you can keep your inferior, inadequate, cancer-covering, less expensive, lower-deductible health insurance after all. For a while. Except that, as even NPR understands, that’s mostly impossible due to all the hurdles insurance companies had to go through to be “allowed” to cancel old plans and the hurdles they’ll have to go through to be “allowed” to keep them. Not to mention the millions — billions? — they’ve spent making internal changes and notifying policyholders. And what’s their motivation undoing it all and doing it all again…
5 CommentsIt’s time for another Amazon Christmas-shopping list. Today’s theme: warmth and light. That covers a lot of territory, with some items for preppers, and some cozy things for anybody at all. Here we go: 1. Natural Comfort Microfiber Comforter — a lightweight “down-alternative” comforter that’s gotten rave reviews. 2. If you or somebody on your Christmas list has all-electric heat (as we in the Northwest tend to), an indoor propane emergency heater is handy to have. I know from experience. The Mr. Heater Portable Buddy and Big Buddy are old reliables. Mr Heater makes something bigger, too. And there are…
7 CommentsHer name is Adriana. No surname revealed. You know her better as the original smiling face of the Obamacare website. She now claims she’s being “cyberbullied.” What she really means is she’s become part of the political joke around The Big Failure. Cyberbullying? Hyperbole. We’re not talking death threats or threats to reveal her innermost secrets. We’re talking snide commentary. Still, I felt sorry for her. I figured she was just some stock photo subject or a model who signed a release without knowing how her mug was going to be used. Not her fault she became the Face of…
16 CommentsSadly, it looks as if it’s going to take a miracle to get the Puppycide documentary Kickstarter campaign to its goal. They’ve gotten some strong support — just not enough of it. I received an email update from them today saying that anybody who donates $150 or more will now get all of these items: – This Just Announced Hoodie – Signed Movie Poster – Bandana and Frisbee – DVD of finished film – Bumper sticker – Digital download of the finished film – And campaign updates I’m going to up my contribution. If they don’t make goal, nobody pays…
Leave a CommentI’m a few days late finding this, but J.D. Tuccille gives new dimension (and his always cheery Outlaw spirit) to a topic that’s been much discussed in these parts: “Why not opt out of government control?”
6 CommentsOh my. It seems one case of official anal probing just wasn’t enough. Another man is now suing over the same offense. But of course, both committed heinous crimes that brought them to the attention of police. One failed to stop fully at a stop sign coming out of a parking lot. The other may have neglected to signal for a turn. Villains! Evil-doers! They’re lucky they weren’t both summarily shot or tasered to death.
