"Our" Means Others Get a Say

Sadly, he wasn’t far off— in our opinion, this is just one step of a larger campaign to sell out our public lands for oil and gas and other development. Don’t let lawmakers put these iconic landscapes on the market. [More]

Better to create off-limits wildlands, where sustainable village inhabitants are forbidden to go except for those needed to service the exclusive access-enjoying globalist elites... right?

Besides, if there's one thing we've learned from all this Bundy business is there's no better steward of western  and other lands than federal bureaucrats and enforcers. And since when has the human condition ever been improved by logging, mining, energy development and ranching?

Say, that ditch looks like a navigable waterway to us...

Conservation is worthy. And there's a balance. I don't see it offered here, especially though the unveiled use of Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule.

End of the Line?

A 21-year-old Chicago man shot himself in the groin early Wednesday morning, while on a commuter bus stopping on the UW-Madison campus en route from Minneapolis to Chicago. [More]

Depending on where the bullet struck, I'm thinking potential long-term benefits here...

We're the Only Ones Cheaper by the Dozen Enough

The teenage daughter of a police dispatcher at the center of a Northern California sexual misconduct scandal involving two dozen officers has filed a lawsuit against one of the law enforcement agencies, her attorney announced Friday. [More]

That said, I don't see any reason why the little whore shouldn't be identified.

It's not like it's a secret.

A Place in the Sun

There will be no outdoor activities between the hours of 9:00 am and noon. That means no outdoor lunch, recess or PE. Parents who choose to keep students home on August 21 may contact the school to have the absence excused. However, if you do choose to send your student to school, there may be opportunities to learn more about the eclipse, but from the safety of the classroom. [More]

Can't have the snowflakes melting.

In re the eclipse, the local WalMart told me last week their glasses were recalled, Best Buy wanted to upsell toother gear, and the bottom line is, I ended up using a cereal box and foil to make a camera obscura, which produces really unimpressvie results. I also took some "selfies," which you couldn't really tell anything from as the blackout here was far from complete. My regrets are I did not have a nearby primitive tribe I could convince I was a god, or a supply of old 3-D glasses I could stamp "ISO 9000" on and tell the local Young Marxist Losers for Annihilation chapter I liberated them from fascist oppressors.

I did notice it didn't feel anywhere near as hot during maximum occultation as before and after, but I'd better not talk about that because I don't want to be called a denier for suggesting the sun might have anything to do with "climate change."

I haven't been this underwhelmed since Y2K (which was actually good for my family, as the better half was a mainframe programmer consultant in high demand in the years before).

Interesting trail name. That's hardly the heritage Americans are supposed to have preserved, but then again, for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

Oh and look what it took!

Thank goodness we have "Only Ones" who can arrive after the damage has been done!

Meanwhile, Over in Opposite Day 'Progressive' Civilization...

Carroll managed to punch his killer in the face and toss his cell phone at the second man before the knife came out.  [More]

Because being able to defend himself like he could in his native hick Texas is so unprogressive.

If a man can't even protect himself, how is he going to protect those he loves?

Or is that a question only a hater would ask?

The man had scalding coffee thrown in his face.

Everybody knows how dangerous that can be.

Yet the trough-feeder carrying out the all-important public safety task of manning the department Twitter account responds with Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule (enjoying no shortage of approving comments from "progressive" supporters who suddenly think the cops are just fine).

And we all know the lead the department follows on citizens possessing the tools of defense.

We also know actors are used all the time.  Jones and I even talked about it once in a different setting but by the same "side".

Seeing Red

Interesting. Wear a hat the brainwashed Marxist padawans disapprove of and they will melt down, so the "progressive" solution is to ban the hat-wearers. [More]

How is saying the girls were provoking trouble any different than saying a rape victim "was asking for it" because of the way she was dressed?

If I wear something you don't like, you have every right to disapprove. You even have a right to tell me so, and I have a right to tell you what you can do with your opinion. And will.

Get physical, and VLLA SELLA rules apply.

So naturally, Howard University "will never compromise [their] values" (p. 35).

And what values those are!
