In a very Common Man’s vein, here is my summation of a Declaration of Independence From D.C. Political Sluts:
(Thank you, Monty Python.)
Devolution
Its seems, given evidence from D.C., that the Republic has devolved from republic to democracy to kleptocratic kakistocracy.
No. No links. I’d have had to do one per letter in each sentence in this post. Just read the “news” and weep.
(Of course, such a devolution was assured once our “feddle gummint” started down the road into a more and more democratic reality. See this blogs header for but one of the reasons… )
A Fitting Metaphor for Our Society
What Do You Have Planned for Earth Day?
In honor of this enviro-weenie day I propose that folks who’ve not entirely submitted their minds to daily Progressive Lobotomies by the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind
1. Turn AC on full blast
2. Pour 2-cycle oil in your 4-cycle mowers and spew smoke
3. Turn on ALL electronics
4. Turn on–and leave on–all the incandescent lights in your houses.
5. Moon at least one greenie.
OK, maybe not the last, but I want to.
I cannot express how disgusted I am with what has become of what was once conservation, and so I advocate that this day be given over to conspicuous over-consumption and ridicule of all that contemporary enviro-nazis stand for (yes, I use the word “nazi” to refer to them for very sound reasons. Examine the German Socialist Democrat Party and draw the parallels for yourself; you can do your own googling).
“There Will Always Be An Island Off the Coast of France”
It used to be that it was said, “There will always be an England,” but it ain’t necessarily so anymore.
Caravanner, 61, prosecuted for having Swiss Army knife in his glove box… to cut up fruit on picnics
A disabled caravanner who kept a penknife in his glove compartment to use on picnics has blasted the authorities after being dragged through court for possessing an offensive weapon.
Rodney Knowles, 61, walks with the aid of a stick and had used the Swiss Army knife to cut up fruit on picnics with his wife.
That’s right, folks” a 2.5-inch bladed Swiss Army Knife. Evidence of obvious intent to commit mayhem.
*sigh* And here in the USA, more of the same, as the TSA will confiscate any lil teen-eintsy bladed “weapon” from once-free citizens, when they’re not going full court press to fine and imprison folks for whatever strikes the Thousands Standing Around as an appropriate expression of their goonery.
This in a land where my grandfather and his brothers once took their Model 1895 Winchesters to school–talk about school safety! Imagine some idiot trying to hold up a school where the teacher and students were all armed to the teeth! Ah, but those were different times, you say. Yes, they were, more’s the pity.
As for that “island off the coast of France” thing, well, that may not even be “always” if the Calip-hate has its way… With a completely disarmed populace, how long until Londonistan is added as “the chief city of an island in the Calip-hate just off the coast of Francistan”?
Energy Star Award: Gasoline-Powered Alarm Clock
As Jerry Pournelle says (at the link),
“Now the government that approves an Energy Star Certificate for a gasoline powered alarm clock will now in essence take over administering the Health Care System in the United States. Good luck, America.”
Be sure to follow the link to the NYT article from the comments at Pournelle’s site.
Muslim Man, Obama Donor, Arrested for Death Threat on Eric Cantor
Those peaceful Muslims again. Combine “peaceful Muslim” with “Obama donor” and you have the perfect Leftard:
Man arrested for threatening Cantor is an Obama donor, also threatened Holder and family
More typical as a Muslim than a Leftard, though, as he threatened not only a Repugnican’t congresscritter but an Attorney General *spit* who has done everything within his power to advance the cause of jihadis.
On second thought, Leftards aren’t well-known for avoiding such stupidities as threatening those with their aims at heart…
Now, although the guy was an Obama donor and is a Muslim, he’ll undoubtedly be characterized by the few Mass MEdia Podpeople who give the story more than two sentences as a “rigfht-wing extremist tea bagger”–anyone want to lay odds?
Human Achievement Hour
Instead of the fatuous (and dangerous!*) “Earth Hour” last Saturday, A Place to Stand suggested Human Achievement Hour, quite similar to Woody’s protest.
The lights were on here at twc central, but I must confess I had no thought of protesting Earth Hour. Everything was running because
1. I never shut down my Big Hawg (computer)
2. Some of my Wonder Woman’s family had come by after the wedding and reception and we spent the time visiting about important things (like our firecracker lil niece who charmed everyone in sight and was continuing to do so as we visited), instead of observing some wacko “Earth Hour” balderdash.
*Note: the linked “article” is a fable.
Responding to Disingenuous “Debate”
Not apropos of anything in particular. Just a comment on the passing scene.
C.S.Lewis, commenting on the Martin Marprelate Tracts, enunciates my own view toward those who would stifle legitimate debate in the public forum today:
“Those who refuse to let their opponents dispute have no right to complain if they hear instead lewd catcalls in the streets; in a sense, it is what they have chosen.”*
And so, if I sometimes resort to “lewd catcalls” and mockery of those who would stifle debate–or even worse, corrupt discourse with deception and outright lies–I have the eminent company of such personages as “Martin Marprelate”.
The 0! Establishes The Newspeak Method of Dealing With Terrorisim
“How to Handle the Terrorists” (someone needs to write new lyrics to “How to Handle a Woman”… or maybe not. Perhaps under The 0!’s White Cafe-au-lait House rules a simple word change from “woman” to “terrorist” will do.)
- Buy more “stuff”
- CYA for so-called “counter-terrorism community”
- Free porn for TSA employees!!!
- Rearrange the deck chairs.
Go ahead. Watch the speech by TOTUS linked above (as “glibly” er “ummed” through by The 0!). Read between the lines and translate from Dhimmicrappic Newspeak. I submit that my analysis is an accurate summation of the “steps” The 0! announces to “deal with” the problem of “man-caused disaster” (to use HIS DHS appointee’s terminology)–all on the heads of a “small band of violent extremists” not, of course having anything to do with a broadly-based worldwide jihad. Of course, TOTUS’s speech would have been much more convincing (though still as stupid) had TOTUS gotten someone who’s a competent public reader to deliver it.
Or, as Small Dead Animals put it:
The War On Man-Caused Disaster
Bringing a monthly status report to a Semtex fight.
