Ever since some asshole of a leftist professor I’d never heard of before was discovered to be screwing his 24-year old daughter, there has been a raging debate over incest in the blogosphere. (Hmmm… I don’t like the way that came out; I think I should say “debate in the blogosphere over incest.”) For a…

This blog is in the middle of an upgrade! Regular readers may have noticed difficulty leaving comments; last night it was impossible and now the comments are working, but the new spam catcher is mean and intolerant, so I have had to adjust the settings. (At least now I can leave test comments….) But there…

Oh yes indeed. She wants to impose her morality on Santa Cruz County and make it a Bag-Free Zone: For the most part, complaints about a ban on plastic bags come from three constituencies: dog owners that don’t want to pay for puppy poo bags, grannies that reuse their CVS bags as garbage can liners…

The first mate says that if you want to get the other 75% off you have to do it yourself. 25% Off Women’s Intimate Apparel My mate also notes that the equipment being sold at the above link is not particularly stylish. From a man’s point of view I must say that after looking at…

A Michigan professor of journalism thinks the Westboro Baptist Church is important enough to warrant a lot of class time. He has previously had members of the crackpot group speak to his class, ostensibly to teach them about “the breadth of First Amendment protections.” (At that lecture, Shirley Phelps-Roper called Obama an “antichrist” and said…

Future Pundit makes me want to get down and dirty. I often worry that I am too clean. I mean, I bathe daily, I brush my teeth and I floss, I do my laundry every week, and it sometimes gets to be a real drag, and I wonder what’s it all for? Am I going…

Regular readers know I have an occasional penchant for verifying the accuracy and sources of popular quotes attributed to famous and respected people. There is a widely circulated quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln that I just haven’t been able to verify: The Bible is not my Book and Christianity is not my religion. I could…

S.M. (what a great set of initials) McCain is blogging about a blogger busted for incest. Since it is a political hit piece you know how it runs. The miscreant is a left wing blogger who was a big Obama supporter. It is just a matter of time (human nature being what it is) until…

Over at HotAir, Ed Morissey asks if Obama’s triangulation has flopped. We’ve been hearing a lot about 1994 lately, but people tend to forget that Ross Perot made a real showing in 1992 and was a major factor in 1996 — for Clinton, moving toward the middle meant squeezing the space his 1996 challenger could…

The copyright slimebags have gone after Matt Drudge for using an allegedly copyrighted photo in the Drudge Report. What I find especially remarkable about the lawsuit is their damage demand: As the Wild West of online copyright enforcement very, very slowly sorts itself out, a group that seems to be trying to enforce — or,…

An FBI alert over a Barbie doll with a video camera has generated a lot of interesting discussion by people who are worried that the dolls might somehow be used by pedophiles to make kiddie porn: …that the new “Video Girl Barbie” comes with a hidden camera, which could be used to record child pornography.…

The man’s sex obsession is on view for all to see. My kinda guy. The book: Lube Jobs: A Woman’s Guide to Great Maintenance Sex If you buy the book from the above link it is almost $2 cheaper than the Instapundit link. I wonder why? And if I use this link the price is…

Not only did I love Sarah’s latest post (“Don’t Hate Me ‘Cause I’m Human“), I also loved her comment: …if I hear ONE MORE twit-line (or read it) in move or book saying something like “We are a plague on the Earth” I’m going to… become even more angry than I am. Those who say…

I haven’t written much about WikiLeaks, but I think there are two separate issues: one is the First Amendment, and the other goes to the damaging nature of the leaks (often called “national security”). It’s pretty basic that the right to say or publish something does not make saying or publishing it right. The principle…

Punishing sinners. A thankless pass time. A LOT of money in it though. According to Judeo/Christian philosophy punishing sinners is reserved for the Maker. Punishing disturbers of the peace is allowed. Where our “religious” friends go off the rails is in conflating the two. Vice may be unseemly. It is not crime. Vice is to…

This morning I was irritated to find a stupid piece of spam posted in my name on my Facebook Wall. Eventually I figured out what happened (no, they had not hacked my actual FB account), and I tried to post a helpful warning to whoever might be reading my Wall. But I can’t do that,…

A lot of people are hoping to start a war between social conservatives and libertarians in the Tea Party, and I think that represents wishful thinking on their part. That there is no denying the existence of sharp differences in philosophy within the Tea Party tent has long been obvious; I have written a number…

When I was younger and considerably more irresponsible than I am now, I bought a used car for almost nothing, which the guy sold me because the (automatic) transmission had conked out and he couldn’t move it. Actually, the car could be moved, but only in reverse. The transmission was dead in all forward gears,…

I would like to thank the Japanese and Germans for starting WW2. Without the war my mother would not have met my father and I would probably be some one else. If I was anyone at all. On Dec 7th, 1941 my Dad (God rest his soul) was in the Coast Guard. Not long after…

I try to remember every year. And I can’t think of a better reason than the fact that (unlike Bing) Google would have us forget. So what did I do? In spite of if not because of the obvious irony involved, I promptly Googled Google on the subject and found a Google discussion — titled…
