Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in the alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to the police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

This has got to be totally ironic – in a very good way. Commenter accordingtohoyt who is our very own Sarah had this to say about the linked article which discusses Obama’s betrayal of the Jews: I’m almost at the point where I can think about this without foaming at the mouth. I can’t even…

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Thanks to Hill Buzz for the above video. “All the Jews that voted for Obama need to have their heads examined.” Says Rev. Manning in November 2008. Thanks to Patriot Action Network for that video. Israel is not taking Obama’s Middle East Speech well. When reached via cell phone…

Institute for Justice – Policing For Profit You can download Policing for Profit [pdf] H/T Jccarlton at Talk Polywell who says: “There are people who do, for a variety of reasons, legitimately use cash for transactions. Or people who just don’t trust banks. In any case, without probable cause these guys have no business confiscating…

The Economist has an article up which is basically a long apologia for Dominique Strauss-Kahn based on the superior European attitudes towards sex. As those of you who read here often may know I’m somewhat of a libertine by American standards. None the less I thought a warning for our European friends was in order.…

Clarence Dupnik Pima County Sheriff You can read the full report at: Is this how we repay our veterans? The motherfuckers in this story are not just Law ENFORCERS. It is the American people who want to hurt people who have bad personal habits. What kind of fucked up shit is that? Especially when you…

The video is not directly applicable to the subject at hand. It does feature one of the premier researchers in the field, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, who’s work I discussed in a 2006 article PTSD and the Endocannabinoid System. So what about the FDA? PTSD is an extremely difficult medical condition to treat, and it currently…

May I suggest a visit to the YouTube page this video came from to watch more videos? Also the Forclosure Diaries home page. The video was suggested in the comments to You Have Got to be KIDDING – Nancy Jacobini’s Home was Broken Into AGAIN. The question is: why would the banks be doing this?…

I’d like to ask Newt a question: “Do you support drug prohibition because it finances criminals at home, or because it finances terrorists abroad?” Prompted by Eric’s Rudeness can create a “nice” backlash.

Frank left a comment at TEPCO Halts Cooling Plan asking about something he saw on Drudge about a Fukushima reactor meltdown. I have news on that below the fold. I was going to post this later in the day – but with Frank’s input now seems the time. === The two videos below take about…

I was reading Ulsterman looking for dirt on Obama (more on that later) when I came across this interesting comment about the Osama bin Laden raid. justavet Posted May 14, 2011 at 10:12 am ULSTERMAN- LOVE THE INSIDER INFO- ASK HIM ABOUT THIS. SOME OF CAN ADD. LOAD OF CRAP. The operation “as propagandaized”(?) was…

Papertiger who has been a frequent commenter at Power and Control left a comment at Classical Values that I found rather interesting. In that comment he left a link to an article on Internet Porn in the Muslim world. Called fuhsha in Arabic, pornography is considered haram, or illegal, according to most interpretations of Islam,…

I know. I’m overdue for a Fukushima update. In the mean time the BBC reports that the cooling plan for reactor #1 has some holes in it. Japanese engineers have abandoned their latest attempt to stabilise a stricken reactor at the Fukushima nuclear plant. The plant’s operator, Tepco, had intended to cool reactor 1 by…

Well not Polywell directly. More like a fusor. A program started by Richard Hull at the instigation of Robert Bussard and Tom Ligon. Here is part of a message on the subject I got forwarded to me by e-mail. On April 28th 2011, the Microsoft Corporation held its annual Hardware Summit. This year’s theme was…

I can’t post at my other blog Power and Control – http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/ because Blogspot has been down (for posting) for about a day now. Funny thing is if you Google blogspot news or blogspot crash there is no information on the subject. After a bit more searching I found BLOGSPOT HAS JUST CRASHED. Is It…

Hillary Clinton says, “We don’t have to blow.” Cross Posted at Power and Control

Alan Boyle has the latest on Polywell. A Navy-funded effort to harness nuclear fusion power reports that its unconventional plasma device is operating as designed and generating “positive results” more than halfway through the project. And that is not all: “It’s a very nice machine,” he said. “I like what we have so far. It’s…

and I like this one by KC Tunstall This was brought on by Wretchard’s dissertation on love. Dante believed that loneliness was the memory of happy times lost. And for perhaps that reason, the demand for love will always be greatest among those who have only heard rumor of it and glimpsed it, fleetingly, but…

Althouse and a few others have taken over Instapundit for a week to give Glenn a rest. What is Ann linking to? An article on boob squeezing. Seriously. It can cause pleasant contractions according to the article. So, tell me: If you love breasts so much, why do you so often neglect or manhandle them…

Over a week has passed since the last update. A few things have happened since then. I posted this link about the Japanese Government upping the radiation safety limit for workers – Japan’s Ministry of Health to Get Rid of Annual Radiation Limit for Nuclear Plant Workers – in the last update. Now we know…
