ITEM – Creeping Socialism Alert: In spite of having the ‘public option’ option voted down twice in the Senate Finance Committee, apparently there’s still a chance that we could end up with it anyway. The Heritage Foundation outlines how the approach would work: So just how close are we to being inflicted with the Obama/Moore [...]

Hat tip on the video to Matt Yuen, a long-time friend and fellow PMS Commando (that writeup in from world-famous author (and budding politician) Dan Gookin, another one of the Commandos). You jump out of the same plane together, and you definitely are friends for life . . . however brief that may end up [...]
ITEM: The media, after its years-long fight to be able to photograph the coffins of American servicemen and -women coming home, has now suddenly lost interest: In April of this year, the Obama administration lifted the press ban, which had been in place since the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Media outlets rushed to cover [...]
As regular readers know, my wife and I have four Miniature Pinschers (or MinPins, as they’re commonly known). Here’s where they were all curled up together a little while ago. ..bruce w..

The British Media Ops over in Helmand Province (where my nephew, USMC CPL Darren Green, is serving) ended Yon’s embed with the British [...]
ITEM: According to the Onion, the absolute low point of Western Civilization will be reached at 3:32 pm this coming Friday: Experts predict that the penultimate catastrophe will occur at approximately 7:15 p.m. Thursday night, when the social networking tool Twitter will be used to communicate a series of ideas so banal they will instantaneously [...]
In one of Glenn Reynolds’ posts today, he quoted what is probably the best-known line from “Serenity”: “I am to misbehave.” So I dug up the trailer for “Serenity”, thinking to excerpt that quote and post it here. Except . . . the whole trailer reads eerily (in hyperbolic mashup terms) like the growing conservative [...]
No, I’m not talking about “climate change”, though President Obama’s speech to the UN on the subject had some glaring and easily verifiable falsehoods. Instead, I’m talking about “shaken baby syndrome” (SBS), a well-known and well-established form of child death that results in about 200 murder/manslaughter convictions each year here in the United States. I [...]
