Thursday night zen

One of my favorite live performances of all time. I saw this the night it appeared and went and bought the CD the next day.

Orwellian End Game

Kinetic Humanitarian Action = kill them all, let God sort it out. Take a good look, people. Because this is what a world run by academic postmodernists looks like: A clown college wherein Italian wingtips have replaced big floppy shoes and several dozen confused countries try stuffing themselves into the boot of a Volkswagon. Next up: Obama announces his plan to fight joblessness by rounding up the unemployed and slaughtering

a post that explores what life would be like should we as a country write in — and subsequently elect — nothing but rutabagas, 2

“I have this one obese, nosy neighbor who keeps threatening to go before the city council to petition for a law that would make it illegal for me to call her a fat-assed busybody. But I don’t think she’ll get very far. What with the city council being comprised entirely of rutabagas. “– Which are root vegetables, by the way. And so have no thumbs. Thank Christ.”

"Going Broke: Treasury Down to $58.6B in Cash, $130.5B Borrowing Authority"

Terence Jeffrey, CNS: Imagine that you had an average monthly income of about $170 balanced against average monthly expenses of about $940–and that you were more than $14,000 in debt. Then imagine that as of today, you had only $58.60 in cash left in your bank account and $130.50 left on your line of credit. Now multiply these numbers by 1 billion and you will have the up-to-date financial situation

Yet another textualism v. intentionalism examination, this time using foodstuffs rather than egret tracks to drive home the lesson. Which is a fundamentally unserious examination, anyway. That teaches a fundamentally unserious lesson.

Jesus reveals himself in an trinity-cheese pizza! Allah speaks through a Scottish spud, after having earlier materialized in a tomato (a miracle!) and on the lid of a Burger King Swirly Cone (the work of the Devil)! And just this morning, a chubby kid I once went to Jewish summer camp with grew a full-on Lincoln beard and totally gave me the finger from inside a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

This is what judicial tyranny looks like

Courts telling legislatures that the rules of the legislative body are subject to oversight by county judges, and that county judges know more about those rules than the civil servant whose job it is to inform and advise the legislature on following its own rules. — Which, it follows, permits county court judges to rule that published laws are not laws unless they are first agreed to by county court

Most transcendant and historical President ever Barack Obama and 70s Kung-fu expert and counterculture icon Billy Jack discuss the kinetic nature of national security imperatives and the role of the US in promoting universal human rights

“Now, let me be clear, Billy Jack –- I suffered no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He was a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchered his own people to secure his own power. He repeatedly defied U.N. resolutions, thwarted U.N. inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He was a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, are better off without him. But

BREAKING: "RADIATION TRACES FOUND IN U.S. MILK" (or, how I learned to stop worrying and love giant radioactive lizards)

RUN!: The U.S. government said Wednesday that traces of radiation have been found in milk in Washington state […]. The Environmental Protection Agency said a March 25 sample of milk produced in the Spokane, Wash., area contained a 0.8 pico curies per literlevel of iodine-131 […]. The EPA said it increased monitoring after radiation leaked from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. It expects more such findings in coming days […].
