Game of Thrones

The Environmental Protection Agency over the past decade has spent a whopping $92.4 million to purchase, rent, install and store office furniture ranging from fancy hickory chairs and a hexagonal wooden table, worth thousands of dollars each, to a simple drawer to store pencils that cost $813.57.

Please: Tell me some of the higher-tier stuff is made with ebony and ivory...

Hey, you wouldn't want to put an expensive gorilla hand ashtray on that institutional crap from Office Max that comparable private sector offices are stuck with.

Who Speaks for Oath Keepers?

[W]e need to be careful to make it clear when we’re speaking on behalf of the organization, such as while participating in directed operations and outreach efforts, and when we’re speaking solely for ourselves. [More]

Hey, neat hat. So can I presume you're on board with personally arresting politicians...?

Anti-gun Academics Presume to be Above Law, Not Liable for Consequences

The most telling thing about all this is no one who wants to prohibit the tools of self-defense is willing to acknowledge a special contractual relationship with a duty to protect all who submit to their demands, and to assume an attendant liability should they fail in that obligation. Why wouldn’t they – unless they know they have no way of guaranteeing it? [More]

Make the antis accountable for damages made worse by their policies.

Bad Invasion

When a home intruder breaks into the wrong home, three residents point their weapons on him simultaneously in a crime scene defense that may be considered excessive. [More]

Unless they sodomize him before the execution and eat him afterward, I'm wondering what the problem could be...

Guess I'll have to watch and find out...

Caught Up in the Spectacle

“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk: culture-death is a clear possibility.”—Author Neil Postman [More]

It seems like a pretty good time to revisit some words about mass madness.

Say, did you hear what Kim Kardashian tweeted about the Pope?

A Tale Told By an Idiot

That's why Heidi Kendall, a volunteer for the local chapter of Moms Demand Action, called the ordinance a first step. [More]

An estimated 20,000 "gun laws" already on the books nationwide and these liars always characterize the infringement du jour as "a first step."

Want to hear what the next steps sound like?

It's obvious Jim is no relation to Ted.

Quentin M. Rhoades attempts to inject some rational considerations into the discussion.

But ultimately, for those of us who are done giving up a thing, and for whom "I will not comply" is more than just a slogan, the idiotic proposal is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Just take a look at compliance rates in places like Connecticut and New York if you doubt that comprehensive enforcement is something they don't dare try once their bluff has been called.

The bottom line response to all the would-be controllers and their useful idiots who demand a step-by-step forced march to a monopoly of violence:

No. Your move.

Make sure you bring that "lot of great supporters."

The Ruse of the Phisherman

Maybe they just forgot to roll out the welcome mat... [More]

"I Don't Want to Hear the Name 'Old Yellowstain' Again"

"Find somebody else to sing about. That's an order." [More]

And I was all set to go with this:

But, still, why would Nunes, considered a conservative himself, so scathingly attack fellow conservatives, as well as repeatedly defend Boehner?

Is a puzzlement:

Hey, maybe "conservative" Devan or someone equally acceptable to the establishment will replace him...?

UPDATE: Look who "House conservatives [are] warming up to":

Of course the fix is in.

A Prince Among Men

I'd say throw him in with the general population, except such creatures have the resources to buy safe passage anywhere. Maybe the best thing to do is swap him to a rival tribe for someone of value. [More]

And then we have Speeyad al-Raceer, here...
