When I got the letter from the SEIU yesterday – the one with a “sign up and let us be your union rep!” card inside – I looked at the envelope again. Yep, my name (correctly spelled) and my home address. Huh? I don’t get any important stuff, including anything from my employer, at my home address. Oh, my employer has my residence address, but I have also listed a

Flashback: The Clintons were sooooo broke when they left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue [Darleen Click]
… they took “$190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left.”

And I’m never going back / to my old school [except maybe this once]
I won’t tell you which high school reunion this is for me — instead, let’s just say that if you like Loverboy you’d be right at home there — but what I will tell you is this: I’m going, for the first time in a long time. Back to Baltimore. And I plan on making it a blast. And here’s how: A few months ago when I got the first

Satch and Rulon Gardner, part 2
Two years ago, during his first year at the Ken Chertow Gold Medal Wrestling Camp, Satch got to meet and train with Olympic Gold Medalist Rulon Gardner. This year, Rulon was back, and he showed the wrestlers a number of great underhook set-ups to throws and take downs. Satch has come a long way in those two years, and even though once again he’s wrestling kids heavier than himself,

“EPA Pumps Up Benefits of Proposed Carbon Regulation”
In much the same way the US Chamber of Commerce pumps up the benefits of Big Government Republicans and corporatism by backing incumbents, pushing for amnesty, and financing the campaigns of liberal Republicans. But that’s just my editorializing. Forgive the digression. Sean Hackberth: EPA argues that its proposed carbon regulations on existing power plants will offer $30 billion in climate benefits by 2030 with only $7.3 billion in costs. Sounds

“ANOTHER SHOE DROPS IN THE BENGHAZI SCANDAL: Taliban Now Targeting U.S. Troops With Stinger Missiles”
US Stinger missiles. With serial numbers that post-date the weapons supplied by the US during the Afghan-Soviet conflict. Look: it’s probably unhelpful to speculate, but much that’s been surmised about Ambassador Stevens’ meeting with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin prior to his murder surrounded a Libyan-flagged vessel, Al Entisar, that was received by Turkey just miles from the Syrian border. News that US weapons Hillary Clinton and the CIA

The Clerisy — You will submit or else [Darleen Click]
From The Daily Beast. Really In ways not seen since at least the McCarthy era, Americans are finding themselves increasingly constrained by a rising class—what I call the progressive Clerisy—that accepts no dissent from its basic tenets. Like the First Estate in pre-revolutionary France, the Clerisy increasingly exercises its power to constrain dissenting views, whether on politics, social attitudes or science. An alliance of upper level bureaucrats and cultural elites,

Isla Vista is to teh Womyns as the Birmingham Church bombing was to blacks … [Darleen Click]
The Los Angeles Times decided to toss forth a token column featuring a common sense admonition against the Vagina Warrior faction’s co-opting of the atrocity in Santa Barbara. No talking point, however, has proved nearly as tenacious or tendentious as the misogyny angle. According to this narrative, and based on his videos and writings, Rodger committed his crimes because he hated women for not sleeping with him. And he responded

Pre-dry wall inspection today. Plus, societal upheaval at every level.
Dropping Satch off at a friend’s house, dropping Tanner off at a tiny tots daycare center, then the wife and I will be touring the new build this morning to check everything out before the spray foam goes in and the drywall gets hung, taped, mudded, and painted in place. That’s morsel number one. Morsel number two, via the Daily Mail (and many other sources, including our own racist speculations):
