Mother raises insufferable prick, is confused [Darleen Click]

First clue is that the author, Ronnie Cohen, is a freelance journalist from San Francisco. The second one is what is glaringly absent from this whole hot mess. I can do nothing right in my teenage son’s eyes. He grills me about the distance traveled of each piece of fruit and every vegetable I purchase. He interrogates me about the provenance of all the meat, poultry, and fish I serve.

“First Pitch” [Darleen Click]

GW Bush was no conservative president, but his genuine dignity, character and love of America has been sorely (and criminally) lacking for six-and-a-half years.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus says Marines who reported problems with female Marines are liars [Darleen Click]

Obama Administration apparatchiks will never let science stand in the way of fundamentally transforming the American military. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus on Friday criticized a Marine Corps study that showed that female Marines in a mixed unit did not perform as well as men in several key areas. “They started out with a fairly largely component of the men thinking this is not a good idea, and women will not

9/11 #NeverForget [Darleen Click]

I dropped the twins off at junior high this morning and was happy to see the lawn outside lined with small American flags. Red, white and blue pennants topped the fencing and a large group of kids were still affixing flags and making U S A in the chain link fence with red/white/blue plastic cups.

The inspiration: A story: “Your Highness, please!” She coolly assesses her lieutenant as he bows. “We must leave at once. The company of pursuers is ten and fifty, not more than 20 minutes behind .” It would be d’Invaincu’s men. Led by the bastard himself, if she was lucky. “I believe you‘re mistaken, Aleron. Five minutes, at most.” He freezes, hearing distant hoof beats through the lightly falling snow. Soft

Snow White and her Seven Friends … [Darleen Click]

… because, you know, the word “dwarf” is offensive and would upset theatergoers … Speaking to the Mercury yesterday, a spokeswoman for De Montfort Hall said the word dwarf is “generally not a word that people feel comfortable with” so the roles were dropped. Instead, the fairytale will have “friends”. [Star Wars and Harry Potter actor Warwick Davis], 45, said that political correctness was a “smokescreen” and the decision was

“Marine Corps’ women-in-combat experiment gets mixed results” [Darleen Click]

I’m shocked, SHOCKED by the results Over the past nine months, the Marine Corps tested a gender-integrated task force in both Twentynine Palms, Calif. and Camp Lejeune, N.C. in an attempt to gauge what the Corps might look like with women in combat roles. According to a recent report in the Marine Corps Times, only a small number of women were left by the experiment’s conclusion — two of the

Why we are losing Liberty [Darleen Click]

Two videos from Prager University, well worth the ten minutes of attention:

RIP Martin Milner [Darleen Click]

Another of my childhood tv stars has passed away Martin Milner, who starred on TV on “Adam-12” with Kent McCord and, earlier, on “Route 66” with George Maharis, died Sunday night, Diana Downing, a representative for his fan page, confirmed. He was 83. Milner was also known for his roles as a jazz guitarist in the brilliant 1957 film “Sweet Smell of Success” and in the 1967 camp classic “Valley
