Not Safe For Work Brought on by the George Zimmerman trial.

Not Safe For Work I have only watched the first few minutes. I liked them.

I have been following the case by internet video feed. At Legal Insurrection guest poster Andrew Branca comments: A neighbor, John Good, who witnessed the fight between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman has just devastated the State’s case, testifying that he saw the fight between the two, that Trayvon was on top punching Mixed Martial…

On Stalin’s Jewish mass murderers. From Ynet News: Within Russia itself, very few people have been brought to justice for their crimes in the NKVD’s and KGB’s service. The Russian public discourse today completely ignores the question of “How could it have happened to us?” As opposed to Eastern European nations, the Russians did not…

Mayor drops out of Bloomberg’s anti-gun coalition, says ‘focus should not be against law-abiding citizens’. An independent Illinois mayor is leaving New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun coalition because he said the group strayed from its original mission and became too focused on pushing for an assault-weapons ban. “I’ve dropped out of a group…

At Watts Up With That: == The science is settled…..we don’t know, and we are sure of that. == If you have two different computer models, it is obvious that at least one of them must be wrong. And if the two of them give you the same result, then the two of them are…

One of my very favorites. I have been listening to this for over 50 years. It brings back my youth. In spirit anyway. Performance by James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

The right isn’t actually against socialism, they are only against the democrats in control of it. Seen in the comments at Zero Hedge.

I like the sound of gunfire. I particularly like the Navy 3″ 50 caliber rapid fire gun. I had the honor of sitting next to one during military training exercises aboard my ship The Bainbridge DLG(N)-25. Here is a modern version of that gun doing rapid fire Navy training film about the 3″ 50. The…

This video is not safe to watch. It is not pleasant to watch. In fact it is down right disgusting. WND (where I got the video link) describes the contents of the video. The video shows a wedding celebration in which a group of men in a frenzy tear apart a live chicken by hand,…

I just stumbled across an article which says that ObamaCare will wreck the US economy. Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS. The IRS’s assumption that the cheapest plan for a family will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to…

On June 3, President Barack Obama will sign the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty. Yeah. It don’t mean nothin’ without Senate ratification. Still……..

House Republicans are working hard to lose the next election. An all-male panel of House lawmakers considered a bill on Thursday that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy across the United States, without exceptions for rape, incest or health of the mother. There was some testimony given. At 21 weeks, Zink’s doctors discovered…

My original title for this post was Why Is Marijuana A Leftist Issue?. But I decided to change it. You will see why when you get to the end. Eric did a post yesterday Why does the left want guns and gays to be mutually exclusive? Which got me thinking about a link I came…

Watch the whole video. It is not what you might think from the title. About 8 1/2 minutes.

Seniors are the fastest growing population segment when it comes to marijuana use. And not all of that use is medicinal. Statistics suggest that more members of the older generations, like Ms. Neufer, are using marijuana. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported in 2011 that 6.3 percent of adults between the ages…

A very good friend of this blog and occasional guest poster Frank has noted my absence. I have been busy designing and writing material for my ECN Magazine column. But Eric sent me a link I couldn’t pass up (Eric KNOWS my hobby horses). And the link is Marijuana is drug most often linked to…

Short ARM Holdings is the title of an article at Seeking Alpha. It is about ARM computers. What did you think it was about? 😉

White Rabbit on a Theremin and should you care to get technical Theremin Tech. I had a few ideas of my own about mixers, VCAs and the like. Which got me looking and following the white rabbit down the rabbit hole. With the words as sung by Grace.

The Daily Mail (UK) has an article up about endocannabinoids. Cannabis-like chemical could help keep couch potatoes slim. The break out of “endocannabinoid” into major publications has begun. And the Brits are ahead in the race.
