Sterling’s silver (lining)

Been meaning to comment on this for some time, but at NRO, A.J. Delgado provides the jumping off point: “Go Get ‘Em, Donald!” TMZ reported last week that embattled L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling is considering suing the National Basketball Association. But according to the Los Angeles Daily News, Sterling has been rejected by at least eight law firms, who worry that taking him on as a client may upset

Wait. There’s something familiar about this place.

I almost feel like I’ve been here before. Whoah. Serious deja vu, man. Or else that silver tequila I had last night is, like, totally fucking with my head. — Which, wouldn’t be the first time. Back in ’86, while I was living in Ocean City, MD (and too young to drink, but, well, you know), I thought I’d bagged a Sasquatch. Turns out I shot a tourist with a

Privilege

Today, I was privileged to see the best of humanity. Mother’s Day, at Shelburne Bay assisted living facility. A long-gone resident left staff the money to bring baskets of goodies for all the mothers. They were brought up by a young staffer and his family, twin sons aged 4, and daughter almost three. His beautiful wife wept the whole time. They brought each of the mothers on the floor a

Yes. But we STILL think law enforcement should have the “ultimate authority” over who can arm themselves.

“STAND AND FIGHT! Detroit Grandmother/Carry Permit Holder Shoots Her Way Out Of Ambush With Concealed Handgun”. This is, of course, the kind of story the anti-gun left doesn’t want you to hear. Which, too bad this woman wasn’t aborted, I guess: Her siblings now jokingly call her Rambo. However, Paris Ainsworth easily could have been killed. Her attackers shot her four times, but she had eight bullets for them. “If

Trey Gowdy is serious.

Could be that Boehner has made a tactical mistake here.  By appeasing conservatives with his selection of Gowdy, he might just have inadvertently shown voters what principle and a refusal to cow to the attacks of the left actually looks like.  And in so doing, gives them an idea about what kind of candidate to vote for, should they wish to see the country reverse its current disastrous course. This

“Mitt Romney: A Severe Conservative Who Just Won’t Go Away”

Lucky us. Mitt Romney seems to be transitioning from a disastrous candidate into a disastrous would-be King maker. GO TEAM! Daniel Horowitz, Red State: When conservative candidates lose their bid for elected office, they tend to fade away from public life and are never heard from again.  But for Rockefeller Republicans, losing an election is evidently a resume enhancer for them to continue advising and interfering with Republican politics and

Just because

A few unsolicited Tweets from a thump-jawed backbiter and, despite never having surgery to repair that tendon damage in my left wrist, I’m back to bending nails and the like. It just hurts a bit more to do it than it used to. Even picked up the CoC 2.5 gripper for the first time in over 2 years and squeezed it shut. So, then. Thanks for the motivation, kitten! update:

The science is settled! [Darleen Click]

So, like, SHUT UP.

“This is what the Fourth Amendment looks like?”

Could be, I guess. When it’s described in its original German. Watchdog.org: Just before dawn on Oct. 3, 2013, the homes of R.J. Johnson, Deborah Jordahl, and several other conservatives across Wisconsin were rudely awakened by the bright floodlights of law enforcement vehicles. Deputies pounded on doors, executed search warrants, seized business papers, computer equipment, phones and other devices. During these very bright, very noisy raids, these conservatives, targeted in

Law enforcement and the second amendment

Robert Farago at TTAG pulls this quote (h/t geoffB) from a NJ editorial, which gets to the very heart of the increasingly nannystate-dependence of some of our more vocal activists, who spend much of their time begging that their responsibility for their own well-being be taken away from them — which I suppose frees the cowards up to demand that the non-cowards join them in “willingness to nut up inequality”:
