So Long, 2009

It’s a beautiful day outside. Sunny, mid sixties — and no rain! I think I’m going to take the rest of the year off… See y’all in 2010. Nuke

Best song of the decade

In 2003, The Foo Fighters released their album One by One, which included the cut “Times Like These.” A solo acoustic version of the song, performed by Dave Grohl, was released some time later, and it is my pick for Song of the Decade. I am, after all, a one-way motorway….the road that drives away [...]

Limbaugh condition described as “serious”

Update: From KITV Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort. Limbaugh, 58, suffered from chest pains, sources said. Limbaugh was sitting in a chair in his ninth-floor hotel room at the Kahala when emergency crews arrived, sources said. He told medical crews that he was taking medication for [...]

Mike Leach Fired From Texas Tech!

From the ESPN article: The school handed a termination letter to Leach’s attorney, Ted Liggett, just minutes before the two sides were to appear in a Lubbock courtroom for a hearing on the coach’s suspension. Liggett said the letter said Leach was “terminated with cause effective immediately.” For those not familiar with the incidents involved, [...]

Max “Tater” Baucus, drunk in public

This video of Montana senator Max Baucus has made the rounds on the internet tubes over the past few days.  I watched a few minutes of it and couldn’t help but be reminded of Ron White’s hilarious “Drunk In Public” routine … Not that Ol’ Tater doesn’t have his defenders. The least imaginative excuse that [...]

New Hampshire Woman Diagnosed with GI Anthrax: What the News Leaves Out

I read this account last night about a woman contracting anthrax (which is rare, but cases have occurred from handling unprocessed imported hides). From WHDH.com: STRAFFORD, N.H. — Investigators are trying to determine if a woman who took part in an African drumming circle got anthrax from her drum. The woman from Strafford, New Hampshire [...]

Merry Christmas

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I [...]

More facts about Jarvis Varnado, VZville, and other interesting MSU stuff

Taking a brief break from the news of the day ….. There is no news yet on today’s Montgomery, AL eligibility meeting between Renardo Sidney’s family and NCAA. You may recall that Fox’s Jeff Goodman,   reported last week that the probability of Renardo taking the court for the Dogs is getting slimmer and slimmer.  I [...]

Medice, cura te ipsum!

Following an earlier Latin theme here, it simply states, “Physician, heal thyself!” These words are contained in the following video, an excerpt from the end of the movie “State of the Union.” It’s an excellent summation of how shallow the electorate and the elected are, and a cautionary tale to the current office holders in [...]

Just for the fun of it!

Somewhere in Arkansas

A village is missing an idiot. Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), was asked the following question … “What part of the Constitution do you think gives Congress the authority to mandate that individuals have to purchase health insurance?” “Well, I just think the Constitution charges Congress with the health and well-being of the people,” Lincoln said. [...]

Issues update

I took a lickin’, but I’m still tickin’. Surgery sucked bad. Kidney was stage 2 renal cell carcinoma, but contained. Radiation treatments for maltoma sucked. But, not quite as bad. Doc says, “99% cure. I’d give you a 100%, but I’m an M.D., not a G-O-D.” Heh™ (And, that reminds me of several “God Moments” [...]

Another global warming “oops”

Strike Two for Algore …. Or, maybe it was just a typo.  “2350″ and “2035″ are separated by just a keystroke.  Not much of a difference, unless you’re discussing dates, then the difference is staggering. The UN panel on climate change warning that Himalayan glaciers could melt to a fifth of current levels by 2035 [...]

Useful Idiot of the Year

Be sure to drop by Conservative Hideout 2.0 and cast your vote for 2009′s “Useful Idiot of the Year.” Matt has assembled an impressive list of nominees, which run the gamut from “ACORN” to “Zombie messianic koolaid drinkers.” My favorite? East Anglia CRU’s own Phil Jones, the father of Climategate. The poll is located in [...]

Al Gore: at his hyperbolic best

Al Gore was at his hyperbolic best in his speech to the Copenhagen climate change summit when he made this statement, “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be [...]

Texas High School football has had a long and storied history. Anyone familiar with football in this state can name a long list of former Texas football greats, from almost any era. In the current era of High School football, however, the list of Quarterbacks competing at the highest levels of the NCAA’s FBS schools [...]

Palin v Shatner on Tonight Show

Good-natured fun on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. First up, William Shatner does his signature dramatic reading from Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue, complete with background bongos and bass. Moments later, in a surprise appearance, Gov Palin returns the favor with a spoof reading from Shatner’s own autobiography. more about "Palin v Shatner on [...]

Breitbart rides again

Announcing Big Journalism “If these traditional media outlets can’t be shamed into telling the truth, diverted for doing the wrong story, for simply running defense for one party, and mocked away from creating journalistic rules that only hold those on the right accountable, then it puts us in a position to do more than we’ve [...]

Obama accepts Nobel, early favorite for Heisman

President Barack Obama officially accepted his first Nobel Peace Prize today in Oslo, and acknowledged his peace-making resume’ was “slight”. Mr. Obama used the occasion to ignore the ongoing struggle for freedom in Iran. Not one single mention was made of the student-led protests in Tehran, or of the brutality of the Iranian regime. It [...]

2nd day of protests in Iran

TEHRAN – Hard-line militiamen firing tear gas and throwing stones stormed a crowd of thousands of university students protesting for a second day Tuesday, as Iran threatened a tougher crackdown on the opposition after the biggest anti-government demonstrations in months. More than 200 people were arrested in Tehran on Monday during protests by tens of [...]

How’s that transparency thing working out for you?

The Obama administration conducted a workshop on government openness for federal employees behind closed doors Monday, a private training session for freedom-of-information officials to learn about a new U.S. office that settle disputes between the bureaucracy and the public. The decision to preclude the public and the media from attending Monday’s workshop left open government [...]
