My “mental health” problems, revealed!
Note: Inside baseball. Read at your own peril. **** Some folks on Twitter yesterday expressed concern/confusion/dismay over my repeated and pointed attempts to contact both Michelle Malkin and Allah Pundit — with limited success. Actually, it went further that just my Twitter entreaties, which I was using as a performative to make the point crystal clear: I have been marginalized and blacklisted in some sort of way, and I want

The White House knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack within 24 hours of 9/11 … [Darleen Click]
Why did it take a until last week before anyone in the White House would admit it and toady Robert Gibbs started making excuses?

Buy popcorn for freedom
Satchel’s Cub Scout duty this month is to sell lots of very yummy popcorn. He’s good at it, but I promised him I’d help. Luckily, you can order it online and have it shipped right to you. The stuff is good, too, so it’s not just a nice gesture. It’s a gustatory treat for you — a kind of warmly popped lead-up to a tongue and gullet orgasm. With maybe

New addition to the “family”
A special forces buddy of mine over the weekend convinced me to pick up the Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22, loaded with a Magpul package (sites, grip, collapsible stock).

I was reluctant, but

So. I ordered Joel Gilbert’s Dreams from my Real Father on DVD through Amazon
… and was delivered today instead Crunch! Belly, Butt, and Thighs Bootcamp. I’m not sure if some warehouse clerk at Amazon is trying to say something about me, about Gilbert, or about the Obama / Davis connection. Or maybe even some unholy combination of the three. On the plus side, though? 5 easy steps to the power glutes I’ve always wanted!

“Obama: ‘We Recognized Our Own Beliefs In … Men and Women Who Took to Streets'”
And no, he wasn’t talking about those who clogged up bathrooms of private businesses or took dumps on police cars or held rape-ins at local parks or on private lots univited. At least, not this time. Instead, our President was comparing with our own American beliefs the freedom-loving, revolutionary spirit of those who rose up during the Arab Spring to depose any and all despots who prevented them from expressing
