Let’s face it, our lives are pretty decent, and for that we should consider ourselves blessed. We in the United States and other nations of the “West” are not torn apart by political strife, genocide, or cataclysmic natural disasters. For the most part, we all are able to wake up each morning, safe and sound, [...]

Few works have as much cachet of geek-cred as Alan Moore’s 1985 classic miniseries for DC Comics, Watchmen. The story is one of a distopian present filled with worries over nuclear war and sex and pornography and a handful of semi-retired, outlaw costumed vigilantes caught up in the middle. It is truly not your father’s [...] Never one to miss an opportunity to analyze the potential outcome of any situation in the name of preparedness, the US Air Force has made public its actual, 100%-legitimate “Rules of Engagement for Blogging.” And you know what? It positively reeks of awesomeness. Amazing, and scary-accurate as a portrait of the overall blogosphere. [...] Seven thoughts from the mini-movie 24: Redemption, which aired tonight on FOX: 1) Mixing It Up: It’s great to see that the year-plus layoff has given the writers an opportunity to come up with a storyline that does not appear to involve Muslim terrorists or nuclear weapons; as “real” as those issues may be, we’ve seen [...] I may forever either lose or completely regain my conservative bona-fides with this statement: Freakonomics recently had its readers interview former presidential candidate Ron Paul, and damned if it didn’t prove fascinating and thought-provoking. There are many aspects of the “Ron Paul Phenomenon” that utterly frighten me. His take on monetary policy and isolationism could [...] Bill O’Reilly can be a little…over the top…sometimes in his firebranded and self-righteous crusade of populism, but every now and then he and his staff tackle an issue nobody else in the left-leaning mainstream media is willing to and hot damn, if it doesn’t make me chuckle with glee. Take this stalking of noted terrorist and [...] I fully confess that–as I type this at 7:47pm Eastern Daylight Time–I expect Sarah Palin to lose tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate. Even if she holds her own, the narrative has already been carefully crafted and repeated ad infinitum throughout the mainstream media: Palin is an inexperienced, not-ready-for-primetime gaffe machine with little national experience [...] A loyal friend and reader with independent political leanings sends a recent article from CNN regarding Iraq’s $3 billion deal with a Chinese oil company, along with the pithy commentary “Just sayin’.” It was the first time in more than 35 years that Iraq has allowed foreign oil companies to do business inside its borders. The contract [...] According to Barack Obama, someone set us up the bomb back in the early days of World War II. “Throughout our history, America’s confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Americans have adapted [...] The natural reaction to hearing the United States National Anthem? Why, hoot, howl, and give the Nazi salute, of course! For groups such as World Can’t Wait and Code Pink, that is… I’ll bet they think this actually helps their cause, too. H/t to Moonbattery. The faux Presidential seal is already no more (via Alarming News), so I guess Obamarama doesn’t really have those brass ball afterall. In fact, the more one looks at it, the more one could say that the esteemed Senator from Illinois is actually a flip-flopper of the highest order, and a colossal coward who [...] There’s a reason why I have always had a “blog tag” called “signs of the apocalypse.” Actually, there’s been a bunch of reasons today alone! EXAMPLE: E.D. Hill teases an Obama fist-bump as a “terrorist fist jab.” I’m sorry, but what the fuck? Hey, I still love FOX News as any good old Republican [...] Aww, Dubya, where have you been? I wish you always had this fire and determination and…dare I say…eloquence? |
