Shotgun!, bilious billionaires, MLK (made in China) and cartoons!

Question of the Day: Why Doesn’t the Self-Defense Shotgun Get the Respect it Deserves?

Nothing like the sound of that first round being chambered!

The Exasperation of the Democratic Billionaire

Real-estate and newspaper mogul Mortimer Zuckerman voted for Obama but began seeing trouble as soon as the stimulus went into the pockets of municipal unions.

Buyers remorse. Heh, heh, heh. I guess he couldn’t see that coming…

MLK Memorial: From China, with love?

In this case, though, the creator is a state artist who has made dozens of heroic depictions of Mao Zedong, the brutal founder of Communist China. Seen this way, the statue is a corruption of King’s liberation message and a PR coup for the Chinese government

Funny the US media didn’t mention this in their stories of the glorious event.  Frankly I’m relieved. I was appalled to think that a American artist could produce something so hideous.

BREAKING: An IPCC backchannel ‘cloud’ was apparently established to hide IPCC deliberations from FOIA.

Posted on October 17, 2011 by On the North River

UPDATE: (9:20 PST 10-17) the FOI request has been released, a copy of which is now linked below.

CEI has learned of a UN plan recently put in place to hide official  correspondence on non-governmental accounts, which correspondence a federal inspector general has already confirmed are subject to FOIA. This ‘cloud’ serves as a dead-drop of sorts for discussions by U.S. government employees over the next report being produced by the scandal-plagued IPCC, which is funded with millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Tom And Ray Magliozzi / Car Talk

Assessing damage when car falls off tow truck

That can’t be good for the frame.

Home-improvement retailer Lowe’s Cos. says it will close 20 underperforming stores in 15 states and cut 1,950 jobs in order to focus on more profitable locations.

Beginning to look like a double-dip recession to you now Binky?

From Theo:

A Person who has made a difference in your life…………..

At a recent wedding party, someone yelled,

“All the married men please stand next to the oneperson who has made your life worth living.”

The bartender was crushed to death.

GOP 2012: The Hold Your Nose Tracker

Maybe the problem is that the GOP field of candidates is truly causing consternation and confusion among the conservatives. Hell, personally I think we had a better slate of candidates, at this same point, in 2008.

China ponders its lack of Good Samaritans

A two-year-old child lies dying in the street in southern China, her blood running into the gutter while 18 people pass by without stopping to help her.

In China there is no “Good Samaritan” law to protect a in-good-faith passer-by from a lawsuit.

Violent crime plunged after summer rioters were locked up in jail

Who could have seen that coming??

Posted on October 16, 2011 by Doug

A 59-year-old sergeant in Afghanistan is determined to serve any way he can. His real fear? Retirement

“It’s really not a fascination with war itself,” Sgt. Nicholas explains. “It’s more trying to keep people from getting killed. I’m taking the spot of some 19-year-old.”

Southern end of Canal Service Road, Bourne MA

Posted on October 15, 2011 by On the North River

While biking on the Cape Cod Canal Bike Path, I observed at the southern terminus a possible launching spot with parking and even a rest room. I’ll have to try it out after I research any possible restrictions on small boats due the proximity to the Canal. If nothing else it seems to be a great fishing spot.

Mini Ice Age, War against the machine, Global warming hoax, Hellhole.

Posted on October 15, 2011 by On the North River

…it’s the machine that is the real war.

“Things aren’t the way they are because one wrong man got in, but because a million wrong men and women got in. And that number is a modest understatement. An election may slow them down, it may reverse them a little, but it will not stop them. We are fighting and losing a war for control of the system that runs our lives. Our choices are to take control of the machine, live outside the machine or stop the machine.”

Daniel Greenfield is the man behind “Sultan Knish”, I recommend him. To fight effectively, you need a idea of what your fighting against. Dan has that understanding. As it says on my sideboard, Obama is not the problem, its that this country could be so wrong, so deceived as to elect so unqualified a man. It wasn’t a accident, he was put in place, we were pointed to be looking in the wrong direction at the right time, all other choices were struck from our hands.   Now their doing it again. Will you fight?

BRITAIN FACES A MINI ‘ICE AGE’

BRITAIN is set to suffer a mini ice age that could last for decades and bring with it a series of bitterly cold winters.

What are the Best and Worst Countries for Women?

Some cultures are decidedly bad for women. It is not “Islamophobia” to say so—and to legally compel immigrants to give up bad habits.

I like women, I don’t like Islam.

Europe gives up on global warming

…and finally, we have yet to determine if a warmer Earth is such a bad thing. Would not a de-iced Greenland and Antarctica help mankind and increase biodiversity? One can dream.

You Know That Your City Has Become A Hellhole When….

My favorite example is a NYT story about the Alabama town whose pension fund ran out of money and they just stopped sending checks. Just. Stopped.

Bad Cop, Corn going, GOP might have principals, 53%, Sippy.

Posted on October 14, 2011 by On the North River

We fabricated drug charges against innocent people to meet arrest quotas, former detective testifies

I’ll say it again, the war on drugs is not worth the loss of rights and has corrupted our police.

More corn now going to ethanol than animal feed

Half the political problems in Mexico come from the high price of corn. This is a insane policy.

More on GOP Obstruction

Maybe they really do believe that Obama is harming the country. They might be right.

Banks are OK its the government thats whacked, 12 year old christian girl

Posted on October 13, 2011 by On the North River

Bank on higher fees from Dodd-Frank

Consumers pay for everything, every time a politician passes a law that costs a bank, a car manufacturer or any other company or service provider more money to operate, they pass the full cost on to us. If the added costs  come with a new government agency filled with bureaucrats who think (to justify their jobs) they need to write regulations, hold hearings and add new layers of mandatory forms for business to spend their time filling out, then the cost of running that new agency comes out of our pockets too.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is Barry’s new pet dog and he’s threatening bank executives who have broken no law with harassment and illegal executive action because this socialist sponge thinks profits are “bad”. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is the product of one of those 1000+ page laws passed by Congress that nobody had the time to read.  This is a regulatory agency with unparalleled powers and virtually no accountability. It’s going to take us twenty years to undo the harm done by this clown in only three years.
