Even in Marin, people are stocking up on ammo

Tweet Big 5 is a sporting chain that spreads across the 12 western states.  It has a couple of stores in Marin County.  I went into one a few days ago and saw this notice posted on the front door: If you’re reading this on a small screen it says: Due to unprecedented demand for [...]

Re that Veep spot on the Democrat ticket — I have a guess about the dark horse replacement

Tweet I’m with American Crossroads, which believes that Joe Biden is just what the Democrat ticket needs: Gravitas! (Giggle, giggle.) I’m suspect, though, that the Democrats themselves are becoming disenchanted with Good Old Joe. Apparently they cast around for the Hillary alternative, only to get a resounding “No!” from a woman who neither wanted to [...]

Did PC arise to fill the missing manners gap?

Peter DeFazio, a Democrat from Oregon.  The point of the story is that he’s not a guy who can be easily intimidated.  That’s good.  We like people with backbone. What fascinated me about the article is it’s unembarrassed descriptions of the crude, brute force tactics the President and [...]

A reminder about how lucrative Democratic politics can be

Tweet I’m always amazed that the Democrats can, with a straight face, present themselves as the party of the little people and as opposed to big business.  I guess their deal is that, as long as a corrupt capitalist system exists, they should exploit it to the max, all the while working hard to destroy [...]
