Quick Updtate 2 December and added to link list

Sometimes, no matter how sarcastic one can be, the reality of matters is even more ridiculous.  Sometimes, living the the USA today seems like being inside of an old Mad! magazine story.  You really think these folks are joking.  They're not.  They may be insane, or malevolent, or any of a number of other things, or several simultaneously.  It's not clear what factor or combination of them is at work.
What is clear is that they are serious, and that they have, somehow, acquired temporal power, and that they are, at BEST, oblivious to the damage they do or how stupid it all is.


Examples are not hard to find, though NBC, CNN, ABC, and the NY Times seem to find it so.

Gun control, for example.  Ignore, for the moment, the 2nd Amendment.  The thieves of Ovomit's administration and their butt-kissers certainly do.  Let's see some examples of it in real life.
Let's examine an area with grotesquely heavy-handed gun control laws, and see how that works, shall we?  Let's pick, oh, how about Chicago.  Sound good.  Been under pretty much continuous Democrat governance for a VERY long time, and has very strict rules.  Ought to be a gun-free zone, no firearms related homicides or assaults or the like.  Paradise on earth, right?  Not quite.
Comes now some people at the website Hey Jackass! with some actual data (by the way, you can now find that site on the sidebar links list.).   And the results are, let us say, not quite in keeping with those expectations of paradise on this earth, or at lest in those city limits.  Go, take a look.  As of this moment, they're recording 337 firearms homicides year to date.  Close enough to one per day to make no difference, and we're not to New Year's Eve yet.

the latest crud going -- 15 October 2013

the bad thing about trying to maintain a blog with this focus is that sometimes there is too much material out there, and there is a flood of it.  This is one of those times. 
The kakistocracy, the self-anointed 'Ruling Class", is in full crap display in places like Brussels, from groups like the World Bank and other transnational operations, from whence the title of opprobrium, 'Transnational Progressivism', originates.  They deserve every slam sent their way, and more besides.

But the most visible group of scoundrels these days is the creeps and jerks within the Washington, D.C. beltway.  In particular those scoundrels within the Senate and the Executive Branch of the federal government.  It truly is difficult to characterize these louts without descending into bad language and un-Christian thought patterns.  And, no, wishing that someone might go to Heaven, and hopefully soon as well, is not a proper attitude.  I confess to having been tempted to it, often, lately.

Brief Note -- Sunday, September 29, 2013

Sorry that things have been so disarrayed recently.  Hopefully, that will be changing soon.  It is Sunday evening.  Lord willing, this is our last night in Lower Alabama.  Again, Lord willing, this time tomorrow we will be on the highway progressing towards the Greater Cleveland area.  This has been a very very rough month or two, as we make some substantial changes in our lives. Having been away from virtually our entire extended family for more than 20 years, it's like Going Home.  Sort of.  Not sure my real Home is on this earth anyway, but will be nice to see family again.
So come back soon, we hope to have things more in order as possible.

brief word 1/1/13

been on hiatus
hope to be back shortly.
In the meantime, I see the collection of dunces and knaves in D.C., in the LameStream Media, and in academia are fulfilling the worst definitions of the title of this blog.  They certainly have a high opinion of themselves, as scoundrels are known to do.
So watch the disaster play out.  If you wonder how Greece and France got into their current predictions, or how the Roman Republic collapsed, or perhaps Weimar, just watch.  It's happening in front of us.
