Snow Is Here

November 30, 2008

Denver metro got its first measureable snow today as a big snowstorm swept over the Rockies. I-25 closed from Ft Collins to Wyoming; I-70 closed at Loveland Pass; Red Cross shelters at schools along the interstate; cats and dogs living together; mass hysteria; and lots of idiots in SUVs crashing into each other, because they [...]

Giant Squid On Video

November 29, 2008

HT to Instapundit on this video. It’s footage shot by an oil company’s underwater exploration team.
And it looks like something from a science fiction movie. Seriously- it’s creepy looking.

Guns: They’re Not For Everyone

Kim Delaney

November 29, 2008

Happy 49th Birthday (Nov 29) to one of the hotter babes on TV. I liked Kim in “NYPD Blue” and “Philly” and then she came back briefly on “CSI:Miami” before that scrawny prick David Caruso and his sunglasses got her kicked off the show. Now Kim’s in “Army Wives”.

Christmas Shopping Jumps The Shark

November 28, 2008

This is why I have come to despise ‘the holidays’, as we refer to them. The original meaning of Christmas has been replaced by political correctness, cultural rot, and insanity. The media tells us we will go crazy on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and like dumb beasts, we oblige:
Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after [...]

The Temptations “Ball Of Confusion”

November 21, 2008

This song is just as relevant today as it was when released in 1970. With the exception of the line “the Beatles’ new record’s a gas”, nothing seems to have changed in America in 38 years.
People moving out, people moving in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run, but you sure can’t hide
An [...]

Colorado Doesn’t Sell Socks

November 21, 2008

Apparently, the merchants in Lakewood and Littleton Colorado have determined that NO MAN shall have a foot over size 12. I deduced this after going to 3 stores looking for socks- just plain white cotton crew socks for every day wear- and found none for a man’s foot bigger than size 12.
 
Now keep in mind that [...]

The Fairness Doctrine

November 18, 2008

Despite any public statements to the contrary- and we now know his public statements come with an expiration date- Barack Obama will attempt to reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine, which was scuttled by Ronald Reagan in 1987.
The Fairness Doctrine- which should more correctly be called The Government Control Of Broadcast Content Doctrine, or the Censorship Doctrine- [...]

Uproar Over U.S. Drilling Leases Near Parks
Sunday, November 16, 2008
 
SALT LAKE CITY  —  The view of Delicate Arch natural bridge — an unspoiled landmark so iconic it’s on Utah’s license plates — could one day include a drilling platform under a proposal that environmentalists call a Bush administration “fire sale” for the oil and gas [...]
