I don’t get serious very often, but do you know why you REALLY have today off? From the  Letter From a Birmingham Jail to the famous I Have a Dream speech to the rest of his oratory art…the motivation and the follow through to take on The Man is simply remarkable.
It was one part vision mixed [...]

In no particular order, I present the randomness of my experiences. This is what my view looked like as the girls napped last week. Yes, I was on the rollers in the kitchen. Big Kitchen gets it done.

I’ve had the time to see some quality television these last three weeks. And, [...]

First, the propaganda slam (and when you watch this, understand that there [...]

I’m sure you’ve all seen the photos of folks walking around with loaded firearms in Arizona. Yeah. When President Obama was in town. And, yes, right outside on the street. Guns & ammo, baby. Welcome to the Wild Wild West.

I recently saw some photos from Health Care protests here in Arizona over at talkingpointsmemo.com/gallery/meet the mob. Not all the photos are from Arizona, but many are. And the theme remains constant throughout: The Vanilla Mob Cometh.

Notice it’s white people waving those signs around. There is a very real undercurrent [...]

A reasonable enough looking older gentleman back in my home state of Pennsylvania went all crazy at a town hall meeting today. And I mean crazy. They guy is worried. He was questions. And he should. He’s being fed lies. Lots of ‘em. He wants to know what [...]

My hometown newspaper, The Intelligencer, ran a full page advertisement (image here) paid for by one Joe Gallagher. He paid good money to put up information he had received via email. Without fact checking it. The paper took his money and ran his ad. Without fact checking it.
Yeah. People are a [...]

This is getting good. The latest getting pasted on walls in L.A:

Shit is totally bananas. The point, of course, is not that Obama is a socialist. Rather it is simply to combine a noticeable face (obama), put him in white face caricature (joker), and splash a misapplied and inappropriate logo (socialism). [...]

I’m afraid the woman might be an enchilada short of a full combination plate.

… if you are a racist, you are probably a Republican.

I must include a hat tip to Scarborough on his prompt, clear and unequivocal condemnation of Audra Shay. He did say the Party should “relieve her of her responsibilities” at once. I’m glad he’s not too far gone to see that.

He bugged me the other day about how quiet I’ve been, so Here I am. Back with a clarification and a rant-ish post.
After the election many places I visit on the Intertubes™ were full of ‘haters’ at the fact Obama won. For whatever reason people couldn’t be happy with someone who is intelligent, capable of [...]

She’s crazy, right? This is an insane person talking. She actually says “Not in the leastest…” @ :29 seconds. Wow.

Playboy had it up. Then they pulled it down. Screen caps preserved the magic & got posted at a variety of sites. Some of these sites even called this “nsfw”. I don’t know what kind of sites they’re running, but I consider not safe for work to involve, at a minimum, [...]

First up, support your local bike shop such as this one in Fremont that offers bike repair lessons as well as prime parade-front realestate should you be one of those recluse parade fiends.

Diggin’ in the crates today. Came up with PMD’s Business is Business from back in ‘97. Classic. (Torrent here).
One of my greatest fears is what the “perfect storm” of a black man as president and a steep economic recession will bring forth. Oh [...]
