Afire with arrogance

I don’t think I can give Senator The Obama the benefit of the doubt any longer that he is nothing more than a pompous windbag who has stepped over the line between self-confidence and arrogance: I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions. There’s a few more Obamisms… Continue reading this entry

When the mouth becomes mirror to the soul

I followed a link from Radley Balko to a WaPo article about DADT that featured the ravings of one Elaine Donnelly. (Her written testimony to the House is available on the website, in PDF, along with others.) Quite frankly Elaine Donnelly is batshit crazy by today’s standards and Republicans and Democrats seemed glad to give… Continue reading this entry

He hates runners… Continue reading this entry

Paying the Piper

I am not a capital-E Economist, nor do I want to be, because economics is just one of those sciences where you can say one thing and the listener can hear the complete opposite. Oh, wait. That happens in every science. So here’s the thing. I’ve got a little over… Continue reading this entry
