If you want to revisit the last 8-years or so of protein wisdom — condensed into about 45 minutes — listen to the first 1:30 of Mark Levin’s show from last evening.  It has it all:  the ruling class vs. the rest of us; an unhelpful, quasi-Visogothic (and most decidedly Hobbity) attack on the GOP House leadership (who it turns out was conspiring with Democrats to exempt lawmakers and their

Having been given a hyper-violent and threatening order to keep the blog both “up” and “current” it seems wise to comply. So… y’all see any good movies lately? Read any interesting books? Got any recipes for using up that left over ricotta in the fridge? Insane fighting styles? Pick-up lines? Cocktails that use Aperol? Fuel additives? Uhhh… shovels, maybe, any new and exciting shovel modifications out there? Look, I don’t

I’ll be away much of today and tomorrow, so let this stand as an open thread of sorts for you all to place any links you’d like others to see and discuss.  There’s much going on — in fact, it’s overwhelming at times just how much the government and its bureaucratic enforcers have been unleashed against its putative sovereigns — and so I encourage those of you with posting privileges

For instance, it was exactly one year ago today that our youngest, Tanner, gave us a scare — and my wife a memorable scar — when he entered our world by way of emergency C-section. Happy Birthday, littlest one!  The joy you’ve brought us is exceeded only by the infinite sprawl of space.  And even there it’s almost too close to call.

Jim Geraghty is so spot on this morning that I don’t have anything much upfront to add.  Save that the reaction from the left to the Marathon bombings has been so predictable that even many liberals are privately (and in some brave-ish cases publicly) rolling their eyes and letting out tiny, pained groans.  So.  From “They Always Blame America First”: Jeanne Kirkpatrick had it right. In Tuesday’s New York Times,

FOX: A West Virginia teenager who was arrested and suspended from school after he refused to remove an NRA T-shirt is back in class. Fourteen-year-old Jared Marcum of Logan returned to Logan Middle School on Monday after serving a one-day suspension. His father, Allen Lardieri, told 13 News that the situation was exaggerated and said, “I don’t see how anybody would have an issue with a hunting rifle and NRA

And it’s one two three what are we taxing for? Don’t matter we don’t give a damn we prop up Uncle Sam… Reason: Yesterday, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to allow a vote on The Marketplace Fairness Act, which would allow states to start forcing online retailers with no physical presence in their states to collect sales tax. The vote will happen this week and the bill will likely pass the
