Final Score: Governor Palin 1, Gutless Pukes 0

The left’s pathological hatred of all things Sarah Palin continued this week with yet another hit piece masquerading as journalistic investigation, this time through from Vanity Fair which given the mindset of its aficionados is as appropriate a name as can be applied. The article endlessly recycles long discredited lies and slander, apparently hoping no one . . . → Read More: Final Score: Governor Palin 1, Gutless Pukes 0

Bloodless On The Dance Floor

Now that everyone and their grandmother has chimed in on Michael Jackson’s passing, my turn.

First, I’ll make it clear from the start I was and am not a fan of the man’s music.

Granted, it was often brilliantly executed, each note and beat polished to pop perfection.

Which to me was the problem.

Jackson released an album a few . . . → Read More: Bloodless On The Dance Floor

Today’s Lesson In The Dual Nature Of Men

First, this most excellent and thoughtful post from the Anchoress (make sure you read the entire post):

I have for too-long tossed my Holy Thing to the Dogs of appetite, marketing, impulse, expediency, poorly-healed woulds, excuses and recent sloth.

I am determined to stop doing that, to stop throwing my Holy Thing, this Temple of the Holy Spirit, . . . → Read More: Today’s Lesson In The Dual Nature Of Men

No, Seriously, This Is A News Article

The phrase “media bias” is flung about so freely we’ve become almost inured to its usage. It’s easy, far too easy, to slap it on every story we don’t like as a convenient means of dismissing its contents, be they pro or con. Sometimes, though, you run across something so egregious, so blatant in its willful . . . → Read More: No, Seriously, This Is A News Article

A Playlist For When I’m In One Of “Those” Moods

Every once in a while I throw together a bunch of songs and make a playlist for Mr. iPhone (yes, I do use it to make phone calls every now and then).  The latest is one I’ve nicknamed For When You’re In One Of “Those” Moods.  Some you’ll know and some will be mysteries, while still . . . → Read More: A Playlist For When I’m In One Of “Those” Moods

Assorted Thoughts, Late At Night (Updated First Thing This Morning)

When we mourn the death of a celebrity, is it their death or how it notes our own aging we are mourning?

The Iranian ambassador to Mexico has insinuated the CIA was behind Neda Agha=Soltan’s death. Yeah, let’s reach out to these people. Starting with a left hook, followed by a right cross and maybe an uppercut . . . → Read More: Assorted Thoughts, Late At Night (Updated First Thing This Morning)

It’s Not That I Don’t Care, It’s That I Care About Something Else

It’s a sign of the times that I am not so much thoroughly indifferent to yet another politician’s inability to control his libido as the reaction to same. The affair is what it is, and no amount of public tsk-tsking or handwringing will change this. Public visibility of those involved does not effect the fundamental truth . . . → Read More: It’s Not That I Don’t Care, It’s That I Care About Something Else

Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore vs. the Politics Monster

(This was originally going to be a Gord the polar bear post, but the more I got into it the less it worked.  So I went with more familiar characters.  Hope you enjoy it.)

One fine day in the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh and Piglet were walking along when they came across their friend Eeyore.

Now The Struggle Has A Name

There’s a couple of pictures of a young woman currently circulating around the Internet. Her name is Neda Agha-Soltan.

Neda.

One picture reflects a serious yet serene demeanor, a look of calm resolution. The other shows a relaxed, winsome mood. They both show a beautiful young woman, one blessed with the kind of looks that turns heads. A . . . → Read More: Now The Struggle Has A Name
