OTB: New name for the blogosphere

I’m a little late chiming in on this challenge by Outside the Beltway to find a new name for the blogophere, but let me throw a couple out there. (hat tip Little Miss Attila) Pajamasphere Jammiesphere Weblosphere ABM: ankle biter media Spine Biter Land (can only be applied to the Right side of the sphere) […]

See, it’s that privatization thing

Uh oh. Somethings wonky in Canada, Contrarians (hat tip to Tom’s Rants, via The Eclectic Econoclast, who lives in Ontario) The Canadian Pension Plan [CPP] has a reserve fund that is invested in the market, not in special gubmnt securities, as is the U.S. Social Security fund. Last year, this reserve fund earned a return […]

Evening, Y’all

How be everyone, aarrggh? I appreciate everyone’s input on the bag. I am thinking that it has to go back. Perfect for the laptop, though. Maybe a few Iron Maiden stickers? On a personal note, after slaving away, my store managed to achieve a 96.8% on our audit. This is very important for me, since, […]

Air Illegal

After all this time of reading the Leftist MSM’s, I wonder if I have become too sensitive and critical to their writing. This article by Donna Lienwand of the USA Today just seems to have that "somehow, this is bad and it is the Bush Admins fault" feel to it. You read and decide. Ana […]

DU Revisionist History

Here comes the next DU talking point, folks. The Dems, who are strangely reluctant to discuss why the Gannon/Guckert story is a mountain, not a mole hill, are looking for ways to redeem their interest: PHASE ONE.In the first phase of the Gannon story, we learned that a "reporter" who was tossing suspiciously softball questions […]

Criminal activities by lawyers ok with NY Times

Here we go again. The Grey Lady is making the assertion that it is somehow OK for lawyers of criminals to help their clients in criminal activity (reg. required) The conviction of Lynne F. Stewart for providing material aid to terrorism and for lying to the government is another perverse victory in the Justice Department’s […]

Charlotte a Target, Part II

Way back on October 12, 2004, I wrote a piece in response to an assertion by a lefty on a political forum that Charlotte, NC, was not a good terrorist target. I made the claim that it was. This stems back to the Pakistani man, Kamran Akhtar, that pled guilty to several charges after being […]
