Operation Barac-Kaos

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

So, I'm enjoying a quiet evening at home when the phone rings. Now, let me just say that I am really turning into a crank in my old age. I remember the days before Caller ID when you felt obligated to answer the phone if it rang. Now I don't. ...

Dude. Wait, What?

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

There's an election or something going on today? For having the word "politics" in the title of this thing, I feel compelled to say something, but as it turns out, I couldn't say it any better than this. Seems like the big question will be if the Paul-Bearers can carry the day ...

Somewhere, Iosif Vissarionovich is Smiling

Relax citizen! There is no need to worry about your thermostat! We will take care of it for you! Why don't we just put radio-controlled light switches in, while we're at it. Let's not forget our ovens, which draw quite a bit of juice. And what about our fridges ...

What’s Missing Here?

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

This article in the Gazette talks about a think tank (refreshingly described as "left-leaning," which is nice) here in Montana that wants to reinstate a fuel tax that was repealed in 1999 in order to fund the "Office of Energy Conservation", which will, according to the group, "produce 'hundreds of ...

It’s True

I could be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's child. I may have to file suit.

You Gotta Love This

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

In an ongoing effort to ease race tensions, a professor notes that only whitey is inherently racist. . . Professor Jack Dovidio of the University of Connecticut, who has researched racism for more than 30 years, estimates up to 80 percent of white Americans have racist feelings they may not even ...

Cute Lil’ Bambis?

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

Think again, chump! First of all, I think everyone knows that if you want bucks, you look in the bank. Meanwhile, McGehee has another Bambi gone bad, though the puns are worse. Much worse. Just remember kids, deer are animals with sharp pointy things on their heads and very small brains.

This One’s For Dani

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

I caught this the other day, and thought immediately of Dani, who isn't a GP, but is a doc. Seems that the googlebeast is 58% accurate in diagnosing symptoms. I confess to using Google to put in my symptoms a couple of few times, and my gut feeling is that 58% is ...

From the “Physician, Heal Thyself!” Files:

Comes this tidbit from over the pond about a fire station. I can imagine the conversation(s) the chief had with everyone after this incident.

Hmmm…I Wonder

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

I often hear people ask, rhetorically, how the United States can stay competitive in a global market. I don't know, but it seems to me that teaching kids not to be competitive is a tad counter-productive.

Talk About Having It Your Way

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

"Yeah, gimme a Whopper with mayo, no lettuce, no tomato and hold the weed." Well, you know what Leo Getz says about the drive-thru. You're down the road just a couple of miles and look and say, "Dammit, I told those idiots to hold the weed, and look. I got weed ...

Border Security? We Don’t Need No Steenkin’ Border Security!

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Via Daily Pundit comes the revelation that there have been over 226 incursions by the Mexican military over our southern border. I'm not the brightest light in the harbor, but isn't that a de facto invasion?

Simply Disgusting

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

Breast-enhancing padded bras for girls as young as six are being sold in Victorian shops. This hasn't hit the US yet, but wouldn't bet against it. There are people who will argue, quite vehemently, that we're not sexualizing our children. Yeah, right. (H/T: McGehee).

New Fashion for Guys

Friday, September 1st, 2006

Two words: Um. No. Some days, I really don't like Gerard for the things he puts into my brain. Then again, he just passed 3 Million hits and I didn't, so what do I know?
