Saturday Night SRV

One of the greats covering another of the greats. I saw them both.

So, We Took the Grandsons to Red Lobster

SwampMan decided, since he was going into surgery Monday and would not be visiting restaurants for awhile, that he wanted to go to Red Lobster. Besides, he had been laboring mightily over my van (still not in actual operating condition) in 102-degree record heat, and he needed a reward. It was 3:00. We absolutely positively [...]

Moe Lasses

WP sure has been a slow-loading sonnagun this week. Know what I mean?

Another Assault On Property Rights

Rain drops keep falling on your head? That’s okay, just don’t have any rain barrels or cisterns collecting it, in certain states. A story and video from Natural News. As bizarre as it sounds, laws restricting property owners from “diverting” water that falls on their own homes and land have been on the books for [...]

France declares WAR on alQaeda

from Breitbart: PARIS (AP) – France has declared war on al-Qaida, and matched its fighting words with a first attack on a base camp of the terror network’s North African branch, after the terror network killed a French aid worker it took hostage in April. The declaration and attack marked a shift in strategy for [...]

Shutting down the web

I saw most of the pilot episode of a new series last night on AMC.  The promo had this tagline:  “Not every conspiracy is a theory.” That’s pretty good.  Right up there with, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not all out to get you.” Last night, Swampie asked if there were any back [...]

LTC. Allan West: Honor And Integrity Apply To Him, Not His Opponent

If for some reason you aren’t familiar with LTC. Allan West(ret.), it is time you were. This gentleman was first put in our nation’s spotlight in 2003, after being relieved of his command with 2nd Battalion 20th Field Artillery. LTC. West had physically assaulted an Iraqi policeman, firing his side arm into a barrel near [...]

Duval County, Florida, Deports Illegals From Around the World

Illegal Immigrants Deported from Duval County between 10/28/08 and 7/14/10. Click to enlarge. I’d like to point out that Duval County, Florida, has been quietly deporting people that have criminal offenses for two years. So, is enforcement of immigration laws racist? Well, look at the picture. While Mexico had the single largest number of illegals [...]

Selling Indulgences, 21st Century Style

Mike Yon points to this post from Matt Holtzmann, who reports a number of kiosks at SFO where one can purchase feel-good carbon offsets for one’s flight. “There’s a Sucker Born Every Minute” excerpt: In the case of the environment, we now have a class of con men similar to the priestly class in the [...]

The Official Birthplace Of ‘Boogie Woogie’ Is My Home Town

I came across this information a little over a week ago. Following links and reading about the history of this unique musical style has consumed hours of my time. Not only am I fascinated with the extensive research into the history of Boogie Woogie, but it has been an education about the history of the [...]

Sunday Morning Gospel

Okay, Johnny Cash ain’t exactly gospel, but I like it, and it’s MY POST. So there. Be sure to post your favorites unless you’re a Godless heathen.

Friday Night Classical Music Thread

Sheila Jackson Lee: Genius

We all thought Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) had it all wrapped up for his assertion that “Guam may tip over and capsize.” The Jeanyus of the Year award was all his, hands down. But, I suppose he just did it too early in the year. It’s like leaving too much time on the clock, and [...]

Obama plugs the hole! — It’s a 3-fer! (update)

Faster than a locomotive, more powerful than a tall building, and able to leap speeding b-b’s in a single bound … Look! Up at the Teleprompter! It’s whazzisname. BP has announced the oil has stopped flowing into the Gulf. Look for Preznit Obama to come on TV and claim credit for it in 10 … [...]

I Write Like Who? Say What?

Omnivoracious has a link to “I Write Like“, which is a text analyzer site where you cut and paste in your own text, and the site tells you which famous author your writing resembles. Hunh. I decided to take it out for a whirl. The first bit of text that I cut and pasted told [...]

Happy 4th birthday

Yaaaaaaaay! Nuke’s is 4 years old today! Thanks y’all. In lieu of gifts, please post your favorite music video.

Be Even More Careful Now With Critter Bites

I came across this story this morning. Why Snakebites Are About to Get a Lot More Deadly. The cure for bites from North American coral snakes is about to disappear. Find out why an unprofitable antivenom may end up costing lives. What the article’s title doesn’t include is the anti-venom for Black Widows and scorpions [...]

Here’s One That Gives Musical Expression to My Feelings for Obama and His Appointed Criminals

I was looking for the kids’ favorite songs from their high school years and remember this one being played at full blast!

A Memory From Sock Hop Days

This came out when I was in junior high and was a sock hop favorite. I wish *I* was a sock hop favorite in junior high but, at 5’8″, I was about a foot taller than all the young men my age. By high school, I was a big AC/DC fan.

Born a Rebel

Always have been. Always will be.

Still Alive

No2liberals informs me that the above song, being all acoustic and all, is just waaaay too slow and gentle for a MAN to listen to. Hunh. Real men require POWER. Well, here’s something a little faster. This is also daughter’s ringtone.

Ruck Fussia!

Other than a friend of mine buying an old Moisin-Nagant as a cheap plinking gun, or another friend that collects old Makarov semi-auto pistols, I can think of no other positive contribution to come from the Fussian Federation/USSR. The hordes of hackers that Fussia produces certainly aren’t a positive, nor is the current government, which [...]

Thought for the day

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the internet and they won’t bother you for weeks. +++++ DIY Thursday! 1) How to build a custom Pergola 2) How to construct a Firepit

The Sierra Club can take a hike. (They do that, don’t they?)

Bill Crawford is a former Mississippi legislator and community college administrator from Meridian, MS. His July 4th guest column in The Clarion Ledger is spot-on: Researchers say America has twice as much energy (btu’s) in recoverable coal as the Saudis have in oil. The key word is “recoverable.” Some coal cannot be recovered. Some is [...]
