The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has denied an appeal by the parents of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman, to have her feeding tube reinserted pending a complete review of her case. I'd like to make it clear that I am not opposed to removing a respirator or some other sort of machine […]
Fox News' Neil Cavuto had a representative from the evil Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) on his program because today is apparently an anniversary of some kind. Cavuto asked an excellent question of the human-hater: Let's say you're in a canoe and can save only one other being -- do you save […]
Lt. Smash has a roundup of links with photos and tons of other bloggy-goodness on Saturday's Patriots' Picnic/counterprotest against the communists/anarchists and apologists for mass-murdering dictators. I would particularly like to point out this photo by Larry Carlin of the day's most moronic protestor. Two things about this idiot. First, it demonstrates the contempt these […]
Because I suffer from periodic bouts of self-destructive behavior, I'm watching the House "debate" on the Schiavo bill on the CSPAN. Let me just say that I'm jaw-droppingly unimpressed with many of our elected representatives. I've often referred to my own senator, Barbara Boxer, as the least-intelligent member of the Senate (challenged occasionally for the […]
I'm writing another post on the Schiavo debate in parallel with this one. In it I praised Maryland Democrat Steny Hoyer for making one of the more statesman-like speeches of the evening. Then he said this: Because, like birth, death will come to us all. Ummm...not according to your party, Rep. Hoyer. Millions of people […]
San Diego County continues to be one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. Only 11 percent of San Diego County households are able to a afford a median-priced home. So, what does the staff of San Diego's Park and Recreation department propose in response to this? A 939 percent increase in the […]
I'm going to be really interested to see what the reaction from the left side of the blogosphere is when this gets around. (via VikingPundit) Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President […]
The pro-dictator/commies at Code Pink started their three day march against the war yesterday from Oceanside to San Diego. They managed to get two dozen marchers. (Reports I heard only put the number at 12 -- either way, it's wholly unimpressive.) The quotes, however are priceless. They like to claim that they are members of […]
Beware of reporters doing math -- or stories on technology. Environmentally minded British motorcycle engineers have produced a zero-emission bike that ticks all the right boxes except one -- it's too quiet. So quiet in fact that its designers are looking to introduce artificial vroom to keep potential customers happy. Powered by a high pressure […]
I've written before that a newspaper's letters to the editor columns are akin to a community forum (or should be). I think it's important to publish letters from individuals on the extremes. The public needs to know there are crazies out there -- on both sides. In this spirit of inclusiveness, I bring you this […]
