Labor Day? Says you. More like “How much can I grill in a single afternoon-Day.” And the answer is much. Muchly. Anyway, I’m breaking in to your regularly scheduled program for a modest bleg. I’m a bit light this month, so if anyone would like to contribute I’d surely appreciate it. Papa needs some holiday liquor and ears of corn. Thanks to SDN, Di, Blitz, Steven B, Bryce, Roger! If

Kim Davis: standing for First Amendment rights or just an attention seeking politician? [Darleen Click]
I hadn’t really looked deeply into the whole circus surrounding l’affaire Davis until recently because it smacked of all the Leftist caricatures of white, rural Christians brought to life. One of the last groups of people others are free to mock and hate. But a few thoughts come to mind after a bit of reading, and some debates on not-always-social social media. First off is the oft repeated assertion that

Let’s celebrate Labor Day weekend by highlighting Obama’s latest accomplishment on the economy!! [Darleen Click]
Record 94 Million Americans NOT In Labor Force A record 94,031,000 Americans were not in the American labor force last month — 261,000 more than July — and the labor force participation rate stayed stuck at 62.6 percent, a 38-year low, for a third straight month in August, the Labor Department reported on Friday, as the nation heads into the Labor Day weekend.

RIP Dean Jones [Darleen Click]
When I was a kid, going to the movies was a special event for our family. One of my favorites, released when I was 11, was That Darn Cat … a Disney movie (of course) that starred Haley Mills (who I already loved from The Parent Trap), Dorthy Provine and Dean Jones. Dean Jones has passed away at 84. Dean Jones, an actor and singer who made his name in

High school girls object to being forced to shower with a boy [Darleen Click]
Of course, that makes the girls the h8rs. In the middle of last school year, Lila Perry came out as transgender. Before that, she had been living as a gay male. But that’s not who she really was. No longer was she going to pretend, Lila said. So this year, she told teachers and administrators at Hillsboro High School, where she is a senior, that she would no longer be

Democrats now own the Iran sh*tsandwich [Darleen Click]
William Jacobson Democrats now have enough votes in the Senate to prevent an override of an Obama veto of a resolution of disapproval, if it even gets to a vote given Democrats are close to the votes needed to filibuster. Partial blame belongs to Republicans in the Senate for agreeing to a procedure that required passage of a resolution of disapproval by a supermajority, rather than approval by a supermajority,

“No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment.” [Darleen Click]
If you’ve been following the Hugo Awards debacle over the last couple of years, or even the last nine months, you’ll know that this year’s show was an amazing display of how desperate the authoritarian insiders were to keep their control — they figuratively burned the place down rather than allowing authors not blessed by them to win. As best-selling author, Larry Correia states, The Hugos – a kind of

Because I’m sure it had something to do with the heinous, racist murders of Alison Parker and Adam Ward The Telegraph has obtained exclusive pictures and video footage from inside the apartment of Vester Lee Flanagan, revealing details of the gunman’s life in the days before he murdered Alison Palmer and Adam Ward. […] Flanagan prepared for the murder by dumping personal “documents” into several waste bins around the area,
