I hope my grandsons don’t see this video [Darleen Click]

They will want one for Christmas … (the only thing missing is laser-shooting eyes)

“Pursu’d by agents sinister and cold…” [Darleen Click]

Star Wars by William Shakespeare (pdf) PROLOGUE. Outer space. Enter CHORUS CHORUS It is a period of civil war. The spaceships of the rebels, striking swift From base unseen, have gain’d a vict’ry o’er The cruel Galactic Empire, now adrift. Amidst the battle, rebel spies prevail’d And stole the plans to a space station vast, Whose pow’rful beams will later be unveil’d And crush a planet: ’tis the DEATH STAR

Young Marine hero [Darleen Click]

California teen, Christian Lozano, hero BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Christian Lozano was sitting on a Ventura beach last week when he saw a head poking up from the waves. He soon heard a cry for help and knew what he had to do. Lozano ran into the heavy surf, grabbed the 11-year-old girl and the pair made it to shore safely after a few harrowing moments. The 16-year-old Young Marine is

Unemployment holds at 7.6% !! 195,000 jobs added!!! Now turn that frown upside down ….[Darleen Click]

… ’cause Happy Daze are Here Again!! Right? As a reminder: jobs have quantity and quality components. The quantity component was good enough to convince the 10 Year the taper is imminent (if not stocks, which continue to trade dislocated from any and all fundamentals). But how about the quality? In a word: not good. In June, the household survey reported that part-time jobs soared by 360,000 to 28,059,000 –

“They pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honors … ” [Darleen Click] UPDATED

************************************ Dependence Day Rerun: from 2009

Happy Birthday, Declaration of Independence!

I don’t care what the progressives say:  I happen to like your tan, I find your  laugh lines make you look quite distinguished and handsome — in an almost Eastwoodian way — and your eloquence hasn’t faded with time. Honestly, you don’t look a day over 220. Now go. Have a blast!  Eat a couple three brats and some deviled egg potato salad, maybe down a few cold brews as

“Morsy out in Egypt coup”

I guess Egyptians not wanting to live under the boot of Islamists didn’t get Obama’s message that he would prefer his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood retain power. Nor did the Egyptian military ignore the will of the Egyptian people under threat by Obama to cut off military aid should they help in the overthrow of the organization whose stated mission is the destruction of the West, from both inside

“Abortion-Drug Mandate Unaffected by Delay of Obamacare’s Employer Mandate”

This being the “hard-core fundies and so-called ‘constitutionalists’ aren’t going to vote for us anyway, so we may as well start sticking it to those bitterclingers sooner rather than later” plank of the wildly popular, progressive Valerie Jarrett / Obamaco “we’ll decide when the law is the law, plebes” platform. Reached for comment, Chief Justice John Roberts muttered something about the appearance of bipartisanship and deference to executive privilege, then

“Health-Law Employer Mandate Delayed by U.S. Until 2015”

Question:  when is the law the law? Answer:  When the dictator says it is.  Now shut up. The Obama administration will delay a crucial provision of its signature health-care law, giving businesses an extra year to comply with a requirement that they provide their workers with insurance. The government will postpone enforcement of the so-called employer mandate until 2015, after the congressional elections, the administration said yesterday. Under the provision,

Baldwin, Deen, and the glories of progressive anti-foundationalism

I think just about everyone — regardless of political affiliation — knew that the consequences of Alec Baldwin’s homophobic rant would be negligible, and that he’d be forgiven by politically liberal gay activist groups:  after all, all one need do, on the left, to immunize oneself from the consequences of his or her personal hatreds, no matter how ugly they are upon reveal, is agree to join in with a
