As you may or may not know 14 Wisconsin Senators were camped out in Rockford. The first mate and I had gone out today for a late Valentines Day lunch (we often celebrate holidays early or late depending) at Aunt Mary’s on State Street which is owned by Sam from Albania. We had the best…

There is a lot of craziness going around about healthy eating. Last night I saw a TV news clip showing that poor eating habits (mostly in the South) have led to poor medical outcomes. I think I have a solution. “The Pink Taco Diet” I’m waiting for the “The Pink Taco Diet Book – Illustrated”.…

There are people living in the flood tunnel system under Las Vegas. Further into the maze are Amy and Junior who married in the Shalimar Chapel – one of Vegas’s most popular venues – before returning to the tunnels for their honeymoon. They lost their home when they became addicted to drugs after the death…

There has been an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in South Korea. The severe foot and mouth epidemic that started in South Korea at the end of November could have even more serious repercussions for public health. Some 3m head of livestock have already been slaughtered but now the environment ministry is concerned about…

The first speaker in the video, John McWhorter, makes points similar to those made in the article Demographics. Here is a book with a rather ironic title given the subject of the video: Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market Cross Posted at Power and Control

Niall Ferguson schools some lefties on the amateurism of the Obama foreign policy team. Update: If the above video wasn’t enough you can watch the whole thing (11 minutes) at No Quarter. Niall Ferguson has written books. This one looks interesting: Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for…

Frank in the comments to ARMZ Buys Wyoming Uranium Mines said that there are nuclear weapons found entering the port of San Diego. Well to say the least I was sceptical (love the Brit spelling). So I started checking for a reputable source. And it depresses me to no end to say I found one.…

While perusing a link provided by Eric in his post Did the homos crash the economy? I came across this comment by our very own Tall Dave which echoes something I have been saying for a long time. And Dave. Forgive me if you were planning to post this but I just couldn’t resist. Since…

We have been going at the idea that “only social conservatives can be fiscal conservatives” here at Classical Values rather hot and heavy. You can read about it here: Only Social Conservatives and here: Did the homos crash the economy? So let me ask my Social Conservative friends why a Republican Congress spent part of…

You can read about it here. But I really liked this part: “…the next TSA official that gives you an ‘enhanced pat down’ could be a practicing homosexual secretly getting pleasure from your submission.” I guess if I have to be patted down by a guy I’d prefer some one who is experienced and likes…

The weather has dealt a blow to food prices and not in a good way. Prices are going up. Food inflation driven by freezing weather in Florida during December and in Mexico during February, is hitting the US supermarkets in the coming day’s. Sysco sent out an alert that announced an “Act of God”, to…

That is correct. A Russian company named ARMZ has bought two uranium mines in Wyoming. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the license transfer of two Wyoming mines to a Russian company, despite concerns over national security raised by local and national government officials including senior House Republicans. From the Telegram: Two uranium mines in…

There appears to be a thriving medical marijuana industry in Michigan and the police are real unhappy about it. Earlier this month, police in Oakland County, Michigan raided a medical marijuana dispensary in the town of Oak Park. The deputies came in with guns drawn and bulletproof vests, with at least one wearing a mask.…

In the last hour or so (see update) I have gotten some evidence to support my position so I thought a cross post was in order. === I see a lot of this phrase (or similar) “only social conservatives can be fiscal conservatives” in comments on various posts around the ‘net. Cynthia Yockey has an…

Does liking rap music dull your intelligence? No. But it may indicate that your intelligence is already dull. Like the Americans, the British teens who scored high marks for intelligence were more likely than their peers to prefer instrumental music, but no more likely to enjoy vocal selections. Now, Beethoven symphonies are far more complex…

I’ll take a gang of outlaw bikers who will fight (guaranteed) over the effetes in Washington. The above is a response to the author and commenters at: A Letter from a Fearfully Concerned Muslim. H/T Instapundit Cross Posted at Power and Control

We have rules. Traditional rules. From Leviticus 10:6 Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled. From Leviticus 11:7-8 And the swine, though he divide the hoof,…

Irrational traditionalism (we have always done it this way) can be a fetish. An excuse for lack of study and thought. We used to laugh at South Sea Islanders for their Taboos when I was a kid. The idea was so popular they named a perfume after it. And yet we have in politics a…

The kind of victory that brings defeat is a Pyrrhic Victory. I’m going to discuss a few things before I show you why that idea is important to the general flow of American politics. This thought train was inspired by a discussion at What If They Gave A Revolution And You Didn’t Show Up? A…

In a discussion of the GOP Presidential field (with a chart) commenter Ken Mitchell has this to say: OK, this graph is CLEARLY bogus. Huckabee is a religious populist, and isn’t ANY kind of a conservative. He’s a big spending big government guy, and the only difference between Huckabee and Obama is what they plan…
