“Sotomayor, Kagan Browbeat Scalia over Voting Rights Act Argument”

They are intolerant of intolerance, you see — so much so that they are hailed by the progressive activists pretending to be mainstream journalists for essentially blocking arguments (before the Court!) that run contrary to their world view.  Which of course is not really what anyone should hail in Supreme Court Justice, unless, that is, one thinks of the court not as some neutral arbiter of Constitutional law, but rather

“Please urge Republican Senators to block anti-gun Caitlin Halligan”

Fat lot of good it’ll do you with people like McCain in the Senate, but Orin Hatch tends to be good on these-type fights, so maybe he’s the Senator to get energized (in conjunction, of course, with the TEA Party Senators, who tend to do the right things without having to be reminded), given that he carries weight with the establishment Republicans.  Otherwise, the long and incremental march toward overriding

Sunday sorbet: Satchel, 2013 Eagle Open Champion

Yes, I’m a proud poppa. Can you tell? Also, please ignore the bit of ass you can see in the championship match as I kneel mat side. My wife couldn’t have captured a more unflattering angle. Besides, it’s about the boy, not me. Match one, Satch wins 8-0. Video lost to a crapped-out cell phone. The short of it: Satch kept wrist control and essentially rode the kid all three

“Documents Show DHS Built Domestic Surveillance Into Drones-Can Track Cell Phones, ID If Citizens Are Armed”

Because freedom. So. Let us recap, shall we? The US federal government, expanding at breakneck speed through the bureaucracies, is increasing the number of drones it will be using for domestic surveillance — drones that can track cell phones and gauge whether citizens are armed and which are under the control of those who can’t tell us yet whether or not they believe they have the right to target a

Life under the sequester, day 2

Surprisingly, my oldest boy’s wrestling tournament hasn’t, to my knowledge, been canceled — this, despite all the civil uncertainty and the roaming bands of former TSA workers looking for the weak and isolated to corner in abandoned rope lines and then pat down suggestively — so we’ll be riding about 40 miles north this morning toward Colorado’s eastern plains, armed to the teeth, (in fact, it wasn’t but a half-hour

The wisdom of Bloomberg: citizens cannot be trusted with 32 oz of soda, but US Government has ‘infinite amount of money’ so sequester is no BFD [Darleen Click]

Say what? [W]hile saying the federal deficit does indeed need to be curtailed, Mr. Bloomberg argued the United States could owe “an infinite amount of money” and there is no specific amount that would cause the country to default. “We are spending money we don’t have,” Mr. Bloomberg explained. “It’s not like your household. In your household, people are saying, ‘Oh, you can’t spend money you don’t have.’ That is

Guns kill people. Stop them. Demand a plan

Here’s mine:  hitch the next Kansas tornado back to Oz, find that presumptuous twee wizard in his silly little suit, and demand that bitch take back the hearts and brains he’s been handing out to inanimate objects over the years.  Because while his playing God may have worked out well for a scarecrow and a tin man, it turned suddenly self-aware guns into fucking roving gangs of psychopaths that need

AMERICA: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!

Just kidding. After all, that’s the kind of absolutism and demand for enforced patriotism that the intellectual left, particularly those who espouse heterodoxical viewpoints in the halls of academia as a way to “challenge” the “prevailing epistemological paradigm” while coaxing “critical thinking” from those mind-numbed automotons still ensnared by Enlightenment tropes, have long sneered at, pointing to its knee-jerk nativism and slack-jawed, lunch bucket rote pro-Americanism. And such an unsophisticated

“Transgender rights are America’s next great civil rights struggle” [Darleen Click]

Massachusetts makes clear that a child who is uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with another child with different plumbing is to be punished, so goes the struggle Colorado where little girls who are uncomfortable with a little boy in a dress in their private space are the hatey ones. The parents of a 6-year-old transgender girl in Colorado filed a complaint with the state’s civil rights agency on Wednesday challenging a
