I am so disgusted by those who are trying to make political hay, i.e. advancing political ideology, from the deaths of innocent school children. Within a couple of hours of the reports of the shootings at an elementary school in Connecticut the Leftists began their campaign. I've read everything from the usual anti-gun stuff to "access to mental health care". These are the truly sick people in the world. When I heard about this tragic incident I literally cried for the deaths of these ...

This morning in Dallas, TX a 28 year old woman threw her two children from an overpass into rush hour traffic and then jumped from it herself. Amazingly, at this point all three are still alive although in critical condition. Truly horrific.   AP Story

The Department of Transportation is actively blacklisting news outlets that are openly and aggressively critical of the Mexican Truck Pilot Program. One such agency, OOIDA (Owner Operators Independent Drivers Association) Media which publishes Land Line Magazine, a magazine dedicated to the trucking industry, has been subjected to such blacklisting. In August of 2007, after some articles that were highly critical of the pilot program, the DOT abruptly cut off all communication with OOIDA Me...

21 year old Benjamin Baines Jr was arrested at Tampa International Airport for trying to smuggle a box cutter through airport security. The box cutter was hidden inside a hollowed out book that was inside his backpack and was detected when the backpack went through the screening machine.   On a local television news story one of the arresting officers stated that this guy told him that he forgot it was there. Yeah, right. What a moron.

In yet another example of just how civilized Muslim countries can be, a 70 year old man in Iran has been sentenced to four months in jail and 30 lashes . His crime? Walking his dog.   Yep, that's it. He walked his dog and earned himself jail time and 30 lashes for it. These people are insane.

Saudi Arabia, a supposed ally of the U.S., arrested an American businesswoman for sitting with a male co-worker at a table in a Starbucks and having coffee with him. Under Sharia law this is illegal. The story is linked in the header of this article.   These people really need to bring themselves out of the middle ages already. I find it especially interesting that the man was released without being charged with anything.

Now that Castro has officially announced that he is retiring as the President of Cuba and will not be seeking re-election, what will change in Cuba?   My opinion is that his brother Raul will become the new elected President of Cuba and not much will change. I certainly doubt that anything will change in the relations between Cuba and the U.S. as long as a Castro remains in power in Cuba. Perhaps once Fidel dies Raul will feel free to make some small changes in Cuba.   He h...

I'm sad to say that this incident happened in my own home county. The deputy demanded that this man, who is paralyzed from the chest down and was arrested for a traffic warrant, stand up to be searched. After he insisted that he was paralyzed and unable to stand...well you can see for yourself how the deputy handled it. The deputy is now facing felony charges for abusing a disabled person, and rightly so.

Most of us have seen them, those rubber ornaments that look like a bull's nut sack. They started among truckers, especially bull haulers, as something of a joke but caught on among non-truckers as well and can be seen hanging off the backs of pickups and cars in many places. While I personally find them a bit crude they're hardly obscene. Virginia State Delegate Lionel Spruill introduced a bill to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety issue because it ...

These Westboro "church" people are sick as hell. I hope someone turns a fire hose on them. Link

At age 69 the famous motorcycle stunt ride Evil Knievel has made the last big jump from this world to the next. He was one of my heroes growing up. I am saddened to learn of his moving on.

A lawsuit has been filed against a Chicago school because a substitute teacher showed the movie Brokeback Mountain to an 8th grade class and claims that a 12 year old girl was traumatized by the movie. Ok, the "traumatized" bit aside, what the hell is a teacher, substitute or not, doing showing this movie or any other non-educational movie in a public school? What happened to actually TEACHING? Our school system is going to hell in a hurry. Link Link

The below linked article, written by columnist Jason Whitlock (who happens to be black), appears in the Kansas City Star newspaper, and has to be by far the best article I have seen written regarding the whole Imus political-correctness-run-wild bullshit media frenzy that has been clogging the airwaves for the past several days. Frankly, I think that every pansy-assed white guilt ridden talking head, and every so-called black leader, along with all of the other publicity starved cretins wi...

Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter with product code 2111 is being recalled for salmonella contamination. Check your jars folks.

This has to be the best article I've read on the whole astronaut love triangle story. Link
