No Equality

I just caught a bit on a news show (not sure which one) that was covering Obama's pastor speaking at a celebration for Maya Angelou, having been invited by the priest of the Catholic church. The priest said, with a straight face, "there's nothing that Pastor Wright said …

Dith Pran - R.I.P.

Dith Pran, the Cambodian-born journalist whose harrowing tale of enslavement and eventual escape from that country's murderous Khmer Rouge revolutionaries in 1979 became the subject of the award-winning film "The Killing Fields," died Sunday, his former colleague …

Today's WTF moment courtesy of David Bowie.....and Cher.

WOWIO

I haven't been checking Cox & Forkum lately, since they have basically shut down the blog. Fortunately, I still have them in my RSS reader. I didn't find this right away - but I am glad I didn't miss it completely.

They are giving away their books for FREE!

Who Is The Bad Guy?

I feel really sorry for this lady - really I do.

But how is Wal-Mart the bad guy here?

BTW: Did the family bother to sue their original lawyers for taking over half of the settlement?

DC vs Heller

From SCOTUSblog:

The Supreme Court website Oyez.org has posted the audio to yesterday's argument in DC v. Heller in much-requested downloadable mp3 format here.

SCOTUS & Guns

Had a long post, lots of links and analysis, on the Supreme Court hearing arguments re: DC gun ban.

MT ate it. Arrghhh.

So, here is the bottom line.

The Second Amendment means I can have a bazooka in my closet if I want one. The framers made clear in their writings, …

Touch The Sky

A) I have always loved this airframe (T-38). Zippy, powerful & quaintly elegant

B) I still can't believe they closed that base down (Williams)- it was quite a showplace in its day.

C) The music is "Your Hand in Mine" by Explosions in the Sky

Top O' The Mornin'

Missed It By That Much

I was in a Washington Mutual branch today and noticed that they are offering an 8 month CD with a 4.00% APY - with a $1,000.00 minimum and early withdrawal penalties. Not too bad, except...

ING is advertising in Kiplingers for a savings account with a 4.10% APY - no …

"Success Only Has Value If Failure Is An Option"

The title quote was something a friend said to me while we were discussing the sorry state of education. The discussion itself was brought on by a remark that Americans are the "smarties", a position which I think is in danger (as if we aren't already way down the …

Poll Position (updated again)

The AZ Republic claims, based on a Cronkite-Eight poll, that "a growing number of Arizonans favor stricter gun laws". However, this is also the polling agency that claims widespread voter support for gun control, abortion rights & "putting illegal immigrants on a path …

Did We Say That? Oops

From Volokh who found it via Instapundit:

What Ferraro said is, at least partially, true. There are people supporting Obama because he is black - just as Clinton has gotten votes just because she is a woman.

And, I imagine, McCain has a lot of support based on his …

The HGTV Effect

I have heard it mentioned that prosecutors are having trouble with what would have previously been sure win cases - they attribute it to the CSI Effect. The jury pool has seen so many forensic shows, they expect every case to come with iron clad physical evidence. If …

They're Coming For You

If someone out there has the technical ability - I would love to see a mash up of this video with this audio.

(how creepy is that Obama video anyway? Wow)

Good To Know

I have honestly never heard anyone say "champing at the bit" - but if I ever do, I'll know they got it right.
