Too late for this summer, but maybe useful for: next.

Sheesh, I almost forgot that I promised and open thread every Friday. The only rules are that any copy and paste must include some commentary, and play at no more than an NC-13 level

bill hallowelltheblaze.com Here is a letter from Brookfield Properties, that owns the park that the NY protesters are living in right now, to NYPD chief Ray Kelly. While they support the right of the protesters to protest, the park has become disgusting. In part it says: The conditions at the park have deteriorated to unsanitary […]

I had every intention of going down to the Occupy Kansas City hippie village and conducting interviews, but the water pump on the Green Monster, aka my 1998 Forest Green Chevrolet Malibu, had different plans and began throwing coolant like Linda Blair throws pea soup. But that’s neither here nor there, and really far to […]

Last I checked, the Congressional supercommittee was charged with bringing down the national debt through a series of common sense budget cuts over the next decade. Although I’ve been in politics almost ten years, and living in reality slightly longer than that, I still held out hope that somewhere there was a Congressperson appointed to […]

Really? Are you kidding me? In case you aren’t aware. David Dewhurst is running in Texas against Ted Cruz for Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s seat in the Senate. Dewhurst will now tell you that he is totally against the 2009 Obama stimulus, but YouTube says differently. Maybe it’s just me, but I think as a conservative, […]

No print stories out yet, will link when they are up. An interesting point is that if Holder claims “executive privilege,” that means that he discussed the issue with the President. Meaning he lied to Congress, and that Obama knows about the whole program. Here we go: Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight […]

Hippies really are magical things. Reality just doesn’t apply to them. But give them a “cause” and seventeen pages of someone’s Masters thesis on how capitalism appears to be ruining their jobless lives, and they’ll take to the streets by the thousands, chanting and hoisting giant papier-mache globes and inscrutable signs featuring giant red Communist […]

This scathing and HILARIOUS blog post about the Occupy Wallstreeter’s “We Are the 99 Percent” posts, is not only funny (hysterically so) for those of us on the right, but it really does illustrate the different mind set of each side. Although the authors of the piece, Lori and Jenn, mock the notes written, the […]

Click the link under each picture, if there is a link under the picture, and if you aren’t sure what the picture means. Link: Grandpa Steve. Link: Neo-Neocon. Link: American Power. See why I’m using the word “messiah” here. Link: Jimmie Bise. Link: American Glob. And, of course: Previously: This Week in Automotivators, September 19-25 […]

Fun. Cross-posted from Newmark’s Door.

. . . but here’s “How to Tell When Someone’s Lying“.

Someday, I should make a point of starting a recurring headline that runs something like “What they told me is going on all over the place, and I must not be paying attention because I can’t find any examples” but shorter. (For all that loquacity, I still haven’t defined who the “they” is, and I […]

The Other McCain’s Smitty wonders about the “profits before people” complaint: Is there something unnatural about this keyboard? Does its matter not matter? Is it anti-matter? These physical objects are all derived, ultimately, from the Periodic Table of Elements, no? The real grip about arguments such as these is that they are first and foremost […]

That’s George Will, doing the kind of writing I wish I could do. He’s talking about Elizabeth Warren, the Senate candidate challenging Scott Brown, who now-famously said: “There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there – good for you. But I want to be […]

I have said many times in my old blog that we are committing societal suicide via abortion, with our birth rate now so low that our culture is barely sustainable by any economic model. But the even bigger tragedy is the limitless possibilities of what those unborn people, and their descendants, could have contributed to […]

Occupy Wall Street is growing with protests across the country. We on the right have had fun making fun of the protesters protesting against capitalism and corporatism while using all the corporate products that we all enjoy, but I think it’s time we stopped making fun of them. Because whether you think they are silly […]

By now, you’ve probably heard that, if the EPA had it’s way, they’d shut down every coal power plant in the country and replace it with tenderly-gardened patchouli fields and useless, circular solar panels that hippies will dance around in the moonlight, chanting and wearing nothing but copies of the Clean Air Act. Despite what […]

It looks like the Obama administration scandal Fast and Furious is growing. If you aren’t familiar with what Fast and Furious is, I’ll try and catch you up. Some agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) became concerned with this program in June and came forward. Instead of making sure guns […]

Anyone shocked? From The Politico New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie formally announced that he wasn’t going to join the presidential race on Tuesday, saying he’d come back to his original feeling about staying out despite reconsidering in recent days. “In the end, what I’ve always felt was the right decision remains the right decision today. […]

The Occupy Wall Street Crowd is finally getting the media coverage it wanted when hundreds were arrested crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge a few days ago. On twitter many conservatives have been making fun of the protesters who seem to be young people not sure of what they are protesting. They know they are “anti […]

Those “Occupy Wall Street” protesters – the ones who’ve been camping out in New York’s financial district because they don’t have jobs and can’t afford video games – are being incredibly helpful: NEW YORK (Reuters) – Protesters who have camped out near Wall Street for two weeks marched on Friday on police headquarters in Manhattan […]

Most of his co-workers say he’s actually a: nice guy.

(Ali Akbar pictured above) You may have heard recently about actor Morgan Freeman’s bashing of the Tea Party. He said that the Tea Party is racist. A tired old disgusting meme that the left is determined to paint us with. It is one which has been disproved time and time again. Not only by the […]

Pres. Obama gave a rousing speech to the CBC (Congressional Black Caucus) this week. It was given with his usual practice of dropping his “g’s” when he speaks to a black audience (which I consider insulting). He made sure to diss Perry, which is understandable, he’s a candidate that might be running against him, but […]

Let’s get an update on the GOP candidates for President. I’ve watched the debates. I was especially interested in how Perry would do. As everyone in Texas knows, Gov. Perry did’n’t debate Bill White last time he was running for Governor. I wondered if it was because his debating skills aren’t the best. I know […]

See if you can spot this week’s theme. Link: The Greatest EBay Auction…Ever! Link: The Crawdad Hole. Or, as I like to say: Link: Trog. Which leads me to: Link: Trog, although I’ve got Steve Benen to thank for the idea. Link: Hot Air. Link: Betsy’s Page. Link: Da Tech Guy. Link: Weasel Zippers. And: […]

For readers in the RTP area, a weekly–Friday–update of “the latest Triangle restaurant news“. Stuff I don’t always see in the local newspaper.
