Limit One Per Customer

one-toothIsn’t it strange how liberals have complete trust in electronic background checks when it comes to buying deadly firearms, but computer databases are too unreliable and dangerous when it comes to checking a prospective employee’s background to see if he is in the country illegally? …

Virginia Decommissions the “Arts”

artsGovernment feeders fear the zero like nothing else. Better to cut the budget 95 percent. Then, like the German Army after WWI, it could survive with a skeleton staff, until the return of tax–and–spend Democrats puts new taxpayer–funded flesh on those patiently waiting bones.

The 2010 Mexican Roundup

illegals2One thing is certain: Hispanics aren’t shy about lecturing the US on how to improve the illegal immigrant experience. Just this week Colombian fanny–shaker Shakira was in the White House to discuss “child development programs in Latin America. But she’s behind the curve. We already have a program for that. It’s called “anchor babies.”

“Choose Electrolux” Plate Available Soon

choose-life-virginiaCurrently Virginia is the 24th state to offer a “Choose Life” plate. Since 2000, 520,000 of the plates have been sold nationwide, generating $11 million for pro–life crisis pregnancy centers, adoption services and maternity homes. A mere four states offer a “Choose Death” plate and in Pennsylvania, one of the four, there are only 22 active plates.

The Weather Outside Is Frightful

2010-blizzardBlizzards were formerly a one–per–customer situation in the DC area where I live. Now it’s come to a pretty pass when we can’t keep track of our snow events. By my count we are on climate event number four, so it seems premature to commit to the Blizzard of 2010 before the winter is truly over.

Not So Famous Last Words

obama-mdIt’s growing increasingly obvious that Obama has never had to deal with real adversity, particularly at the hands as someone as insignificant as voters. Rather than admit that his Obamacare message has been rejected, he claims the defeats were caused by voters angry about failure to enact the plan, so they vote for a Senate candidate who has pledged to vote against the plan.

No Hall of Fame for Me, Either

23 Sep 1998: (FILE PHOTO)  Mark McGwire #25 of...Steroids should be right up there with the Protestant Ethic as a key part of the American Way. Steroids simply permit an athlete to train harder and subsequently recover faster. Steroids are not the lazy man’s way to the medal platform. An athlete who takes steroids but does not increase his training workload enjoys no benefit.

How the Weight Room Became the Wait Room

fitnessIf you have ever wondered just how long the average New Year’s resolution lasts, I invite you to take a census at your neighborhood gym at 6 p.m. on the first Monday of January and then repeat the count on the last weekday of February. Two months is usually the duration of all but the most committed “I’ve got to get back in shape/lose weight/resemble–my–eHarmony–description” resolvers.

The DMV’s No Smile Zone

frownThe DMV has always been the aboriginal’s greatest fear realized. Whereas natives formerly believed that when the Great White Bwana took their photo the camera also stole their soul; the DMV streamlines the process by crushing your soul without bothering with the photo.

Journalists’ New Math & Lap Dancing

new-mathIt’s pretty sobering to realize the profession the country depends upon for news, analysis and the latest on Michelle’s upper arms simply can’t count. A decade is ten years, but for some reason journalism is hell bent closing this one out a year early.

The Blizzard of Ought Nine

blizzardVirginia is still digging out from a blizzard that brought the most snow in December since 1932. And what exquisite timing! Just as Obama returns from the “global warming” whine–fest in Copenhagen he’s forced to drive back to the White House, because Marine One can’t fly in the storm.

Kermit’s Lament

Kermit the FrogFor those readers currently on the fence, let me assure you that when it comes to adopting a system for ordering your life, the more you learn about enviro-worship, the better Christianity looks.
For one, being a Baptist requires much less bookkeeping and investigation on the practitioner’s part,
particularly when it comes to food.

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that Cigarette

f6 are famous for their short filtersVirginia Governor and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine celebrated the successful mulching of another dead horse last week. After presiding over the loss of the governor’s races in his own state and New Jersey, he celebrated the major accomplishment of his last year in office: banning smoking in restaurants.

Blindsided

blind-sideIn “elite opinion” circles a black person is allowed to indulge in many varieties of degraded behavior and exhibit any number of dangerous pathologies without causing so much as a raised eyebrow, but nothing keeps elite festival–attendee behinds in the seats like the hero relying on white people, the private sector or a Christian to change his life.

We Don’t Like to Stock That, It Sells Too Well

educationMaybe the big thinkers at Indoctrination Control were hoping parents would change their collective mind and decide a school with uniforms, expectations, community service and discipline was a bad idea after all and embrace more “progressive” educational theory like “white guilt.”

The Not So Hidden Costs of PC

islam-truthIslam is the last topic authorities discuss when it comes to Sudden Jihad Syndrome incidents. The standard line is it was a “lone gunman,” “isolated incident,” “random act of violence” that was perpetrated by a “troubled individual,” who was “under stress,” “harassed” or otherwise forced to “snap,” “act out” or “explode.”

Move along, nothing to see here…

move-along2In another example of Obama Administration acumen the Dems managed to lose New Jersey, too! Of course the Washington Post assures us there’s nothing to see here, in fact one headline reads “No Referendum on Obama,” but in both states voters who in fact used the election as a referendum on Obama voted against him.

What Have You Done to Encourage Flu Hysteria?

swine-flu2So here you have it, a dry run for the Obama Administration’s performance on nationalized health care. All vast governmental forces were focused on a single disease rather than the entire gamut of America’s health care problems. There was no greedy, profit–riddled private sector in this fight, only the saintly public option. The result?

A Nation of Whiners & Panderers

WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 30:  Sen. Bernie Sander...Inflation is an overall increase in the price level. It’s like economic Viagra that expands the economy but only provides very localized benefits to a favored few. If inflation only lasted four hours — regardless of whether or not your doctor was celebrating with you — then it would not be so dangerous.

No Putter Left Behind

Tee for the first hole at The Links at Spanish BayGolf certainly isn’t like shooting dice. Now there’s a sport of the people. All that’s required is a liquor store, a few handguns and a pair of dice. No vast acreage that could be used for “affordable housing.” No goofy little electric carts that reek of martinis and high cholesterol. And certainly, no annual use of enough fertilizer to level downtown Oklahoma City again.

The First Church of Druidical Science

druid-scienceThe environmentalists even have their own Pharisees like Al Gore and Thomas Friedman who enjoy a huge carbon footprint lifestyle and justify their hypocrisy by buying “carbon offsets.” This is a scam where wealthy first–world greens pay poverty–stricken third–world helots to squat in their mud huts postponing modern civilization.

Obama Puts Thrill in Gun Owners Legs

gun-control2Within this Obama non–issue is a chance for a win–win decision that helps both Mexico and the U. S. How about we take steps to stop the flow of illegal guns southward — which really represent only 17 percent of the recovered drug trade weapons — and in return Mexico takes steps to stop the flow of illegal Mexicans northward, who represent 32 percent of the illegal aliens in our country?
