Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
Yes, pretty soon Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider Man, will be eating tea and crumpets with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. (So if both Mickey and Minnie are surnamed “Mouse” does that mean they are already married? Or are they siblings? Cousins? How does that work? And don’t even get me started on the “Goofy is [...]
A pastor in Phoenix has drawn outrage for praying for Obama to have brain cancer and die like Ted Kennedy.
A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw protesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, “Why I Hate Barack Obama,” and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama’s death.
Pastor Steven Anderson [...]
Obama’s public approval rating continues to drop at a steady rate.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 (see [...]
Ouch. Both figuratively and literally. Ouch.
The Denver faithful were provided with a view of a quality young quarterback who looks like he could revitalize a flagging franchise. Unfortunately that quarterback was Jay Cutler and the franchise was the Chicago Bears. What the Denver fans saw from their OWN franchise was a defense with still-gaping holes, [...]
It may look like a piece of honeycomb, but this lattice-shaped image is the first ever close-up view of a single molecule. Scientists from IBM used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to reveal the chemical bonds within a molecule. 'This is the first time that all the atoms in a molecule have been imaged,' lead researcher Leo [...]
So tomorrow Jay Cutler will be in Denver again, leading the Chicago Bears against the Kyle Orton (ex Chicago Bear) led Broncs.
The general opinion of the football community is that Jay Cutler is the second coming of Dan Marino and that Kyle Orton is the second coming of Rex Grossman. So far in the preseason [...]
Back a month or so ago, when Obama’s strong negatives first rose above his strong positives, I asked if we had reached a tipping point in Obama’s popularity. Events since then have, I think, vindicated that analysis and prediction. Obama is on his fifth day in double-digit negative indexes on his Rasmussen daily presidential approval [...]
Court denies “Tim Geithner TurboTax defense”.
The Tax Court yesterday rejected a taxpayer’s attempt to use the TurboTax defense successfully employed by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Hopson v. Commissioner, T.C. Summ. Op. 2009-130 (Aug. 25, 2009) (citations omitted):
These things don’t work for the “little people” like you and me, only prominent Democrat political figures. (These [...]
The last (and least) significant political remnant of the unfortunately termed “Camelot” days has died.
To address the human side of this first, I sympathize with any family who deals with the ravages of cancer, so I have nothing but compassion for the family and friends of Teddy Kennedy. I also hope this provides some closure [...]
From xkcd:
Remember when Michelle Obama was the New Thing? Remember when the elite fashionistas were all agog over Michelle’s “bold fashion choices”? Remember when you saw Michelle’s face on the news every day?
She’s been pushed aside by Barack, most likely because every time Michelle opens her mouth she makes Obama look bad. Plus even the breathless [...]
So, today we dropped the Cosmic Daughter off at college, a 100 mile drive from our home in the mountains. Friday we took all her stuff and got her room set up, but she came back for the weekend. Today was the official “you’re on your own!” dropoff.
Driving back I found myself contemplating lots of [...]
Looking for a veteran bat to help their playoff push, the Colorado Rockies have agreed to a deal with Jason Giambi, according to multiple reports. Jason Giambi reportedly agrees to deal with Colorado Rockies – ESPN.
I don’t even have the faintest idea what to think about this. It’s either the most brilliant move the Rockies have [...]
Shamelessly stolen from Andy’s Place.
I don’t know what I enjoy more, watching Obama and his administration plumb new lows of executive incompetence, or the logical contortions of the loony Left as they try to spin his increasing load of failures into massive earth-shaking victories.
When Obama was elected there were a LOT of idiots in this country who supported him [...]
I don’t like bumper stickers, but this one makes me laugh.
"There's been an idea for a long time that if the oceans warm, methane might be released from hydrate beneath the sea floor and generate a positive greenhouse effect." "What we're trying to do is to use lots of different techniques to assess whether this was something that was likely to happen in a relatively short [...]
Seriously. It’s something people don’t talk much about, but as I learned last night, where you put your balls can be a very important and potentially devastating thing.
See, when we were coming back from the Grand Canyon, we decided to head east and check out the Painted Desert/Petrified Forest National Park. This is really two [...]
The National Association of Postal Supervisors has fired back at President Barack Obama for dragging the U.S. Postal Service further into the health care debate. In an Aug. 14 letter, NAPS President Ted Keating accused Obama of using the Postal Service as a “scapegoat” and unfairly painting it as “an example of inefficiency” during a [...]
BOURBONNAIS, Ill. — One game into the preseason and already Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has had to smooth things out with one of his wide receivers. Cutler commented to reporters about wide receiver Devin Hester's failure to break up an interception on a pass that fell short Saturday night following the team's 27-20 preseason loss [...]
