Friday Fiction: 100 word challenge [Darleen Click]
The Inspiration: A story: “Mom?” Sighing, I take my foot off the pedal. Flat fell seams take concentration and now this! Alex is at the window, pointing. I look out into a gathering dark, the sky roiling like a hurricane tossed sea. The neighbors have left their homes, standing in the street. Some are clutching each other, sobbing. Some have fallen to their knees, eyes fixed on a sky that
California Democrats consider most people children [Darleen Click]
The El-Lay division of authoritarian Leftists (but I repeat myself) do a “water-wise” campaign with text and graphics geared towards third graders: I wonder how much LA Mayor Eric Garcetti (known as Mayor Yoga Pants by many) spent on these sophisticated graphics … #facepalm
Run, Joe, Run! [Darleen Click]
Seriously, we are gonna need a bigger popcorn tub … Those hoping to draw Joe Biden into launching the 2016 presidential race are looking to rev up support by getting others to imagine the 72-year-old former senator driving a Corvette. Organizers behind the Draft Biden 2016 super-PAC have launched an online store around a “I’m ridin’ with Biden” logo depicting the vice president sporting aviator sunglasses while behind the wheel.
Hellenizing the Christians [Darleen Click]
Those who forget the past Since Jewish and heathen sources agree in their characterization of him, their portrayal is evidently correct.

The verdict was reached Wednesday afternoon, nearly two years to the day three people were killed and more than 260 injured in the April 15, 2013, bombings. Tsarnaev, 21, showed no emotion as he listened to the verdict, reached after a day
It is with much sadness and disbelief…
…that I inform you all of the passing of Jonathan Webb, a long-time pw supporter and one of the kindest, most encouraging people I’ve met in my online endeavors. He was 62. And no, he didn’t lose his battle with cancer. It took him. Because it sucks and it doesn’t fight fair. So I’m not going to dignify it by suggesting it is some good faith actor in a gentleman’s
“I thought people just wanted to be left alone. I was wrong.” [Darleen Click]
Mea Culpa For years, I have argued that the state should remove itself from the business of sanctifying marriages. Contract law would cover the legalities of a relationship, and benefits would not accrue to citizens based upon whom they choose to offer monogamy. And for years, I have argued with conservatives on air – trying to convince them that the limited government philosophy can support this position. As you might
Life imitates art: Obama’s Easter Greeting [Darleen Click]
Another exercise in narcissism — In case you don’t recognize the guy with the big ears … no, no, the one on the left, not Barry …
