This one is pretty inflammatory.  I am sure Joe Biden would see them as terrorists on behalf of our President.  Read more…

Oh, happy day.  When Jesus Washington washed our sins away.

Well  the 999:1 odds proved to be correct.  Long shot betters can return to the stale beers.  The nation isn’t quite off to debtor’s prison.  The posturing and outright lying will scale back a bit in Washington.  The rest of the country will slump and look appropriately embarrassed by the folks they elected and probably will reelect next year.  Read more…

A lot of my posts have started with a dictionary definition.  I like words.  I inherited that from my mother who was uncompromising in many areas.  Being uncompromising in an area is often more revealing about one than the other side.

Bill Rini has an interesting post up.   The Same can be said over at CrAAKKer. It is about Cereus aka Absolute/UB.  Cited is the chortling of Daniel.   They all have interesting views and I suggest a look.   OK, we’re all up to speed.  I guess I could throw in Waffles but he just is just ranting as usual.

Short Stack Shamus recapped for us a recent house hearing where the AG was pressed a bit on poker.  Shamus is one of my must reads.  Today’s bit is a good reason why. Read more…
