London hacker loses appeal over US extradition
A London hacker left messages on U.S. Army computers which he’d compromised, saying “US foreign policy is akin to government-sponsored terrorism these days…” and “It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year… I am SOLO. I will […]

Your SWAT team gets a tip drug dealing is going on at an address so without checking further the team storms the house. The scare the heck out of the homeowner who opens fire with his home defense shotgun and scores hits but hurts no one due to body armor. SWAT Team fires back […]

The author of Nothing for the Nation - Who Got What Out of Iraq is none other than my own former congressman, John Hostettler, who was turned out of office in 2006. He like a few other staunch big “C” Hoosier Conservatives were turned out that year with little support from the national party for […]

The American Physical Society and the myth of consensus in the Gobal Warming Debate.

I don’t even know where to go with this one. Apparantly Aurora, Colorado is full of scared old women who cannot tell an AK47 from a nail gun at a local Lowe’s store….

“One of the most naive notions is that politicians are trying to solve the country’s problems, just because they say so—or say so loudly or inspiringly. Politicians’ top priority is to solve their own problem, which is how to get elected and then re-elected. Barack Obama is a politician through and through, even though pretending […]

Running late getting home tonight so I stopped 30 minutes from the barn to call the Missus and give her an ETA. Within the 5 minutes I was there I had 2 other bikers slow enough to make sure I wasn’t broke down. Then a guy in a truck pulling an empty trailer actually […]

So Dad and daughter leave a theme park and some stranger pats the daughter on the behind… Rightfully so the Dad is upset and yells at the perp and his friend who then gather their friends and beat up Dad. I don’t know what the concealed carry rules are in Minnesota but I’d wager […]

I have to at least partially agree with Gramm in saying the economic slowdown ‘mental’ but rising fuel costs are not, they’re a fact. How we GOT to that point, that’s absolutely ‘mental’…

I’m so glad Atlanta has everything else under control so they can address the discrimination represented by signs that say ‘Men At Work’….

Talk to the State Department which is filled with nambies. I know, this isn’t news. The State Department is a quasi-autonomous department that just keeps going its own way irregardless of who or which party is in the White House, Congress or the Senate. Given such unaccountable power I have to ask who is […]

Proving once again Global Warming is about research grants to study the obvious. At least this one is rather optimistic for plants. The last story I recall on “CO2 is plant food” was how rising CO2 was going to inundate us with poison ivy.

The under reported story of the decade is the crumbling value of the U.S. dollar. Between the poor monetary policies of the last 3 Presidents, Congress printing money like drunken sailors, Congress and the Executive spending like drunken sailors, too much U.S. currency held by foreign concerns, and many other contributors the rising cost of […]

I don’t often go out of my way to recommend vendors but today re-affirmed my sincere appreciation of Direct Line Parts not only as a primary sponsor of the VTX Owners Association but also as a customer centric business.
As is their custom for holidays Direct Line offered the VTXOA members a 10% discount on […]

“We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. […]

Remember all that Archaeological looting of Iraqi antiquities that was reported as being due to our entering Iraq? Well, guess what… like many other anti- American media stories it simply wasn’t true. Go figure.

The former head of the Palestinian Communist Party hopes Obama is elected so he will immediately birth a palestinian state. Of course if people would read their history they’d know there is already a Palestinian state, it’s called JORDAN. When Israel was granted territory it was a tiny tiny sliver off the larger British protectorate. […]

Those non-existent WMD’s from Iraq? Yeah, well they just moved a 500 tons of uranium from Iraq to Canada…. Of course the Administration never said they would find any, only that they were trying to build them, and I think 500 tons of low grade Uranium, some in various states of refinement, counts under […]

While Der Spiegel writes of a a brighter future in baghdad National public Radio writes of Insurgents Turn Themselves In to U.S., Iraqi Troops. There ought to be some cut-and-run Democrats a bit worried….

Very nice article on Are the ice caps melting? Also, I always enjoy Chris Horner’s take.

A blog worth reading, the Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama. If this doesn’t scare you then, heaven help us.

YouTube - Harry Reid Says “Coal Makes Us Sick”
What an idiot. Democrats in control of the House for the past almost 2 years. Gasoline at $2.00 then, its at $4.15 now. And with the attitude Harry Reid displays in the video you know it will only get worse since their plan is to push the […]
