Update (Smitty):
Carol at No Sheeples Here gives us a review best read with a Don LaFonatine voice.
Operating in the usual file-and-forget mode — 20-plus years in the newspaper business eradicates any possibility of dwelling on what happened yesterday, much less last week or last month — I moved on to other merry adventures. Then on New Year’s Eve Continue reading The Joy of Undiminished Praise →
As Stacy and I do our two-man version of Blogger Row at CPAC, the realization that Saturday beckons and an FMJRA is due settles upon one.
I’ve 30+ in my Rule 2 bin for starters, but crave more input so that our relentless quest for galactic conquest may continue apace.

You may remember Molly’s frightening vision of a “fat man flying.” This is another video from the Pasadena Tea Party, sent to me by Chris Cassone.

Morgan points us to the Latin expression MURUM ARIES ATTIGIT, “The (battering) ram has touched the wall”.
Follow the HoE link to get to one of those bits of legal correspondence that occurs when the Big Guy apparently overplays the hand and the Little Guy comes on with all the subtlety of a freight train.
More generally, Americans need to realize that the Progressive ram has touched the Constitutional wall. Sure, there is plenty of room for opinions to differ, and we should not waste time bickering and arguing over whose stylistic point killed who. However, where matters of substance are concerned, we can’t give an inch, and need to hammer the inferior ideas of the Socialists at every turn.
Don’t kid yourself. The Left will happily concede point after point in order keep that battering ram on task. Time is on the side of decay. All they have to do is packetize the decline and insert it incrementally, via that ram.
It’s time for some Churchill:
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender…
MURUMNE ARIES ATTIGIT, to make the phrase a question. “Bring it on” should be our response.
Stereotypes are harmful and one would be promoting a sexist stereotype to say that women have a habit of forwarding “cute” e-mails, no matter how many times your mother-in-law does it. However, not all junk-mail is created equal:
DENVER, Colo. – A Colorado Department of Transportation employee could face discipline for forwarding an email with a photo depicting President Barack Obama shining the shoes of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
The 73-year-old woman, whose name was not released, forwarded the email to at least four co-workers, among other people, on Dec. 22 using her state email account. At least one recipient complained.
The person who originally sent the e-mail, who isn’t a state employee, wrote “It appears he (Obama) has found his niche.”
See, that’s just wrong. Maybe that photo is funny to 73-year-old women, but the rest of us? Blehh. If we’re going to get fired from our jobs for looking at pictures that depict people in insultingly demeaning roles, we’re going to get our money’s worth. Colorado state employees, consider yourself warned that you may be fired for looking at the offensive, degrading stereotype depicted below if you click “Read more.”

Paco Enterprises drops a bomb on a deserving couple…
Obama: Hey, that’s not a pair of golf shoes! What do you suppose it is?
Napolitano: Beats me. Anyhow, as I was saying, we’d like to do a better job connecting the intelligence dots, but the Suspicious-Looking Persons Anti-Defamation League has been complaining about profiling, so we’re kind of stymied, there.
The new blog was announced via Twitter and Facebook.
Smitty is also on Twitter, although his Facebook identity is a closely guarded secret. If you knew his Facebook page, he’d have to kill you.
Smitty got an Instalanche on his second post at the old site, so I’m thinking he should be assigned the task of getting a re-Tweet from Alyssa Milano. Because he’s cool.
UPDATE: OK, how cool are we? I was reading William Jacobson’s Legal Insurrection, who points out that he’s ranked #39 for U.S. Politics at Technorati. Higher than our ranking of #56, but we’re still four spots higher than WhiteHouse.gov.
