Okay, I have heard of a lot of nutty things going on, especially by the #Occupy crowd, but this one really takes the cake.
In Seattle, Washington, the #Occupy loons have performed a wedding between Baylonia Aivaz and a building. Yes, that's right, a warehouse building that is being razed by ...

Anyone who knows me knows that I have been a supporter of the Global War on Terrorism, and eliminating terrorists when possible. I applauded Obama’s decision to put boots on the ground to take out Osama bin Laden, one of those rare occasions where I agreed with something Obama did. ...

The news related to this heinous and tragic attack in Norway sickens me. Details keep pouring out and the death toll has hit 90, most of the victims teenagers attending a politically oriented summer camp.
The NY Times has a fairly detailed background of the sick maniac who carried out the ...

I was pretty beat when I got home from RightOnline 2011 last night, but the event was well worth going to. I had two goals major goals in attending the conference: learn to be a better writer (and blogger) and hear some good speeches by some of our nation's leaders ...

Sad day yesterday. The B-17 "Liberty Belle" crashed in a corn field and burned. Thankfully, all seven people on board survived without major injuries.
This was one of the few B-17s still in flying condition. Based on the photos available, it looks like it may be close to a total loss. ...

It's past time that I took a few minutes to write something about the events going on in Japan. I intended to publish something a few nights ago, but delayed it, giving myself the opportunity to expand on it.
As we all know, Japan was hit with a huge earthquake recently ...

It's a rare day when I agree with someone from Obama's administration, however it looks to me like one appointee, James Clapper, director of national intelligence, is right on the money. The only thing I find surprising is that he is an Obama appointee. As for Senator Graham's call for ...

Okay, maybe I have this guy convicted already...don't see how he can get off considering the amount of evidence and number of witnesses.
Gotta give credit where credit is due, though. The NY Times, the official mouthpiece of the Left, has a detailed profile on the alleged shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, ...

This is one scary group on Facebook - still up as of 2:30AM CST. I have reported it to FB (yesterday), but so far, it is still there. Yes, you've read correctly. This group is called "Sarah Palin Must Die". Nice bunch of (fill-in-the-blank).

As more details about the "alleged" Arizona shooter, Jared Loughner, come out, one thing scares me more than all of the deranged videos Loughner has posted on youtube, or the massacre itself. The thing that truly scares me the most is that he'll get off on an insanity plea, and ...

The hard Left is hard at work spewing their anti-Conservative hate across the air waves and the blogosphere, and even on Facebook (which isn't surprising) in the post Tucson, Arizona shooting that left six dead, a Congresswoman in critical condition, and many others injured. The target of choice by the ...

Just ran across this out of Arizona:
Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is in critical condition after being shot in the head at close range Saturday morning while holding a public event, Fox News has confirmed.
Initial reports said that Giffords had died but a hospital spokesman and three House sources told ...

The Constitution continues to be at the center of ridicule by Leftists everywhere. Who’d have thought that our Constitution, and its reading in Congress, should generate so much angst by the Left? The New York Times chimes in with a piece entitled "Pomp, and Little Circumstance”.
A theatrical production of unusual ...

Julian Assange has now opened himself up to arrest in a big way. He has made it clear that he has set up numerous "poison-pill" document drops that will be released if A) he is arrested and B) Wikileaks is completely booted off of the Internet. If his demands are ...

It's 6AM CDT, and so far it is looking about like what the analysts predicted with Republicans picking up roughly 60 seats in the House and 6 seats in the Senate. There are still seats that are undecided that could push the GOP even further. One can hope.
No, it is ...

Sometimes it seems to me that there is always some, er, person, seeking their 15+ minutes of fame, and the most recent entry into that category s "pastor" Terry Jones, down in Florida, with his "Burn a Koran Day". Most people are outraged by his plans, including me.
What I don't ...

Last December I began following the case of Peter Francis Watts, a Canadian Science Fiction writer (heretofore virtually unknown) arrest for assaulting a U.S. law enforcement officer at the U.S.-Canadian border. Although I haven't been blogging about it since the original incident began, I have been monitoring it. I also ...

It's been just over a week now since the firestorm over Captain America #602 and the racist/tea party connection hit the internet and the news. I picked up a copy of Cap and gave it a read. It was my first comic book in over 10 years. Things have changed. ...

Okay, there are Moonbat Moments and there are moonbat moments. But this one has got to qualify as a MOONBAT MOMENT. Danny Glover said this in response to the 7.0 quake that rocked Haiti, killing tens of thousands of people.
from the Daily Telegraph:

News of Rush Limbaugh's being hospitalized with chest pains reached my monitor this morning. It's a crummy way for 2009 to end for him. I wish him well and a speedy recovery. Unlike some bozos around the blogosphere.
Recently, Limbaugh has been an ardent critic of ObamaCare and the government takeover ...
