The person on the left is George Zimmerman. The person on the right is Elizabeth Warren. Just in case you haven’t been keeping up (and who can these days?). H/T Instapundit

A write-up on safes (ostensibly a discussion of the fact that many Americans prefer to store their wealth at home as opposed to banks) reminded me of the tension between secrecy and security. Safes — even high quality safes — are not necessarily good hiding places. If a safe is found, it would become the logical…

From the comments at Wagist slightly modified. If a woman goes out with a black man because black men are reputed to have big packages, was the man racially profiled? ===== That was just too funny to pass up. ===== Further down the thread there was a mention of the supposed “big nose” correlation.

H/T Conservative Tree House

Note from the video: the prison industry has jobs. Why am I not encouraged by that? In fact the person who made the statement was not encouraged by that.

Hard economic times always bring out the hidden resents papered over (heh) by money in the wallet.

Net of all the discussion? Government can only get the results it desires by stealing from someone.

Whether it’s in the New York Times, CNN or countless other places, the George Zimmerman case is becoming a well organized campaign against “Stand your ground” laws, which is a thinly veiled war against self defense itself. As I told M. Simon (who has been sending me links) in an email, I should probably be screaming…
