Two notes on silly events

First, we have the entire Georgia runaway bride story. My question is this: It's my understanding that the betrothed are already cohabitating. So what's the big deal about the marriage? It's not like she doesn't already know if he's got a problem remembering to lower the toilet seat. Second, Cliff May reveals from personal experience […]

Godwin's law and Ward Churchill

The lawyer for Ward "Little Eichmanns" Churchill has invoked the famous Internet rule on Nazi analogies in his defense of his client. (Apparently the irony of it all is lost on the lawyer.) A lawyer for the professor whose remarks about Sept. 11 victims touched off a firestorm wants officials to clarify how they intend […]

Those crazy judges!

A New Jersey appeals court has ruled that those pesky waivers that parents are so often asked to sign so their kids can play sports are useless -- apparently unless the kid signs them too. Yep, that's right, pre-teen children need to sign a legally-binding document too. The 2-1 majority in Hojnowski v. Vans Skate […]

TV News reporters...

say the dumbest things. Fox News' Greg Palkot, detailing the Pope's medical condition had the following analysis. If the heart goes, you're in real trouble. Thanks. Good to know. I'll file that away for future reference.

It's the end of the world as we know it

And I feel fine. You'd think that after hundreds of years of predicting a doom which has never come, that these latter-day Malthusian adherents would be a little more reticent with their pronouncements of doom.

Peta

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 […]

Anti-democracy protest update

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 […]

Housing prices

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 […]

For the record

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 […]

The safety of a police state

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 […]
