The mainstream media gave little or no coverage to the various attempts to disrupt the RNC in St. Paul, but the investigators at Stratfor make it clear just how serious these attempts were: On Sept. 5, two men from Austin, Texas, were charged in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis in connection with a plot to […]

I don’t know if the writers on the Jimmy Kimmel show thought they were mocking Palin; I am pretty sure they simply increased her votes in November: Hat tip to Rand Simberg at Transterrestrial Musings. ..bruce w..

I remember this ad (and remember wanting this gun): On the other hand, my parents did get me both a BB rifle and an air pistol that shot BBs, pellets, and pointed metal darts (I kid you not; I think this is it here). So it all evens out. Hat tip to the Borderline Sociopathic […]
