Yes, yes, I know what you’re going to say.  You’re going to say, “Moe.  That’s not Charlie Sheen talking.  That’s the cocaine that has seized Charlie’s brain in a violent coup talking.”  And I understand that argument, really I do.  Still:

“These guys are just a couple AA Nazis and really just blunt hypocrites,” said Sheen, referring to producers Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn.

The cocaine is usually more coherent than that.  In fact, I think that we have actually reached the long-promised, but never-before-seen point where cocaine is now wandering around babbling because it’s all f*cked up on Charlie Sheen.

PS: Seriously, what does that even mean?  They’re batteries?

This is yet another reason why the United States of America is the greatest nation on the planet: our collective eye on the main chance.  Is there a group of Democratic state senators out there grimly determined to make themselves – and the Democratic party of Wisconsin – look like hilariously incompetent buffoons?  Well, one person’s idiocy is another person’s economic opportunity… and if you’re going to publicly run off to Rockford, Illinois to hide, then by GOD the city of Rockford, Illinois is going to try to make some money off of your idiocy.

For those without video access: the city of Rockford, Illinois was recently the first hiding place for Democratic Wisconsin state senators looking to avoid doing their jobs.  The city has turned this inane notion into a 2 1/2 minute video hawking the tourist attractions of Rockford.  How cool was it?  Put it this way:  they even got Cheap Trick.

Genius.

PS: Go back home, ye Democratic state Senators.  You have now officially lost the public narrative.

I got sent this, and now I’m hungry.

I still remember the first time I had one of their sandwiches: I was at the mall using my free movie ticket that I had gotten for being such a good MS Read-a-thon reader, and they were handing out quarter-sandwich samples.

It was a good sandwich.

Again, this should have been up last week.  Ted’s running for Senator in Texas: he’s the former Solicitor General for Texas and a friend of the site.  We caught up with him at CPAC this year:

Ted’s site is here.

This should have been up last week, except that I came down with the plague, more or less.  Mike Williams is a former Railroad Commissioner for Texas*, an old friend of the site, and running for Senate: we spoke briefly at CPAC about the cycle in general.

Mike’s site is here.

*Which has nothing to do with railroads: it’s an elected position overseeing energy production.

I AM NOT GOING TO BUY A ZUNE.  I AM NOT GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE BUY A ZUNE.  I AM NOT GOING TO APPROVE ANY COMMENT THAT RAMBLES FOR HALF A PAGE ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD BUY A ZUNE. I HATE ZUNES NOW, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE.  SO BUY AN Apple iPod touch 32 GB (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL, INSTEAD.  HECK, BUY ME AN IPOD: IT’S NOW ON MY WISH LIST. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, ZUNE-MAKERS? DO YOU WANT TO ESCALATE THIS FURTHER?

NO?

THEN STOP SPAMMING MY COMMENTS SECTION. IT. WILL. NOT. WORK.

PS: Why, yes, I do feel better now. Thank you for asking.

(more…)

Looking at the Left, on the (frankly whitebread, not to mention astroturf) Denver, CO union reaction to African-American  race class* traitor Leland Robinson:

Seeing a lone black man being shouted at by union goons, [the police] decided it was better that he joined the tea party protest at the bottom of the stairs, where he would be safe.

I really do wish that the activist Left could learn to be a little more tolerant and inclusive when it comes to beliefs that don’t fit their particular, rather provincial, worldview.

Via… somebody, sorry.

*Yeah, not much better that way either, huh?

Kodachrome, Paul Simon

I like it.

Honestly, Coneheads should have sucked: it was a SNL-inspired movie that had Sinbad and Tom Arnold in it.  And yet, it was an endearingly goofy film that managed to poke gentle fun at various American attitudes towards immigration without actually mocking them overmuch.  Heck, even the titular villain of the piece got to stand his ground.  I liked it.

And so, goodbye to Red.

Tim Pawlenty is running for President.  You know it, I know it, heck, Scott Walker (who I do stand with) knows it…

…and Tim Pawlenty’s media team knows it, too.  Well, one hopes that they would.

…writing this post on the ‘showdown’ between Arizona and Utah over who gets to have the first official state gun.  Puns were not so much present in said post as they were cheerfully crammed into every nook and cranny, followed by Andrew jumping up and down on top of the post to close it until he heard the click of the lock engaging.

Well, that’s why I like Andrew.  He’s got the right instincts for this entire blogging thing.

The bill requires that facilities that perform more than five first trimester abortions per month be subject to the same regulations as hospitals, which will hopefully help keep down the kind of abuses that were documented here by Live Action (and, much more horrifyingly, the atrocities committed in Pennsylvania by Kermit Gosnell).  This rather commonsense consistency in regulating abortions would be normally out of reach of the pro-life movement, as the Virginia Senate is 22/18 Democratic/Republican: however, two Democrats switched their votes after a parliamentary procedure forced them to take a stand on the bill.  This made the vote 20/20, thus allowing Lt. Governor Bill Bolling to break the tie.

Because elections matter.

People may also remember that this has been building up since August of 2010, when Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli ruled that abortion facilities could be regulated as if they were hospitals – which ruling helped set up this bill.

Because elections matter.

The bill now goes to Governor Bob McDonnell, who will sign it.

Because elections matter.
