The story so far...


Oh, wow!

“We’ve insulted are allies, apologised to the Taliban, doubled the national debt, quadrupled the deficit, and killed the national economy in one month.”
Ahem.

Retiring from world domination - official


Closing shop:

The Elders of Zion, the venerable and shadowy Jewish organization that controls the international banking industry, news media and Hollywood, has announced that it is disbanding so that members can retire to Florida and live out their golden years on the golf course.

“We had a good run,” said one senior Elder, reminiscing over old photographs of world leaders in his musty, wood-paneled office at an undisclosed location.  “Maybe we ran the world for just a little too long.  Anyway, now it’s Obama’s problem.”

Bel Air’s bandmaster


Cynthia Yockey:

Of all the subjects you take in high school, the only ones where you are likely to be working with the same teacher all four years are band and orchestra.  Because you put your heart into playing a musical instrument maybe a little more than you might into calculating the area of a polygon, your band teacher can make you or break you more than any other.  During my high school years of 1967 to 1971, I was one of the lucky ones.  I played the bassoon and had Raymond J. Dombrowski for band...
As they say, read the rest.

Yes, LET’S talk about Presidential failure

When Dissent Was Still Patriotic Dept.

Bill Sammon, Fox News:
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: “I certainly hope he doesn't succeed.”
...
Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: “Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!”
So you see, it’s wrong only when Republicans do it...

“Don’t go away folks, we’ll be right back...”


...after this:

Did you ever ask yourself is your economy big enough?  Do you feel insecure about the pork in your portfolio?  Do you want to stop your Dow Jones from shrinking at the most embarrassing moments?  It is finally possible with the only economy enlargement product that works.  You can become a lean, mean and fierce economy-stimulating machine in just days!
... just read on!

The truth about “sobriety checkpoints”


Not that we didn’t already know...

I guaran-flaming-tee you -- my paw to Odin -- within one decade of the passage of a DWI Checkpoint law, “Sobriety Checkpoints” will be a code-word for “Revenue Generation Checkpoints That Occasionally Nab a Drunk Driver.”

And don’t sodding tell me any different -- I've been in law enforcement for fifteen years and I damned well know how the system works.
Unfortunately, the M.A.D.D. gang and its enablers are more interested in harassing citizens “raising awareness” than actually controlling the problem.  Really want to do something about drunk driving?  LawDog tells you how.  Go read.
