Bill Clinton Triggers Boston Requirement

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) Clinton in The Hill, emphasis mine: Former President Bill Clinton said Sunday that the Tea Party movement “reflects the feeling of a lot of Americans that they’re getting the shaft,” but isn’t clear what it stands for. We closed our eyes this past century, and liberty has slipped away. Getting […]

It’s A Good Start, But Where Is The Feedback Loop?

by Smitty via (Insty) Marianne Moran’s article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch concerns an Amendment to give States repeal power over Federal legislation: We need an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that will allow the repeal of any act of Congress or regulation when two-thirds of the states agree to the repeal. Insufficient, say I, and […]

Rule 5 Sunday, Ye Lubbers

by Smitty Aye, ’tis Talk Like A Pirate Day. On the high seas, as a proud member of the US Navy, I be more aboot ventilating pirates than bespeaking me audience as such. But, like with your Rule 5 post, we’re not about takin’ ourselves too seriously here, are we? But we’ve the devil to […]

Friday Night Free Association

by Smitty I’m reading too many blogs, but they’re all so good. It’s time for a Rule 1 grab bag, to note and quote some of our great net-friends. Hot Air: “Internal White House debate: Is it time to start attacking Palin?” Sure, go ahead. Nothing says cool, collected, and arriving with a head full […]

Global Climate Disruption

by Smitty (h/t Nice Deb) Goofballs Can’t Decide: Gratuitous Consumer Destruction, or Gaea’s Chicken Dinner.

Recursive Blood Donation Picture

by Smitty Is it excessively geeky to open up the blog on the netbook to last May’s blood donation post, and then have a picture taken of that, while donating again? I mean, of course it’s geeky. The question here is whether it’s excessively so. Again, I go for the apheresis machine, which limits me […]
