Every time I read one Iowahawk’s satires, I think to myself, “This is it.  He cannot get better than this.”  And every time I am wrong, as Iowahawk, over and over, publishes something new that is even funnier than his last outing.  But honestly, it’s hard to imagine anyone topping

One of the brightest lights in the conservative blogosphere is now, and has for many years been, Chris Muir, who creates the Day by Day Cartoon.  He is running his annual fundraiser, and I urge you to visit and drop some money in the jar.  Using the money many of

Once again, no one around me is leaving, whether for work or school, so both my brain and my blog lie dormant.  I thought you’d like to know about a couple of interesting internet sites to visit. The first is a new blog called “So the Blond Says.”  Lorie Byrd,

I saw the headline:  Student driver hits 6 pedestrians in crosswalk That’s an awful tragedy, I thought to myself. I remembered incidents from my own family’s driving history.  My grandmother, who didn’t learn to drive until she was 60, once backed into someone’s living room.  She drove another 27 years,

It hasn’t been a bad weekend.  It has been a very, very long weekend, and I’m still gearing up for another 5-8 hours of family activities and work.  Tomorrow will be a great day!  Also, I’m excited by the fact that something I’ve been working on will be published sometime

One of the things about insomnia is that weird thoughts enter your head in the dead of night.  Last night, I began compiling a mental list of popular songs that came out in the 20th century, all of which referenced things Japanese. The first, from 1920, is Kalmar & Ruby’s

. . . you’ll want to check out Melissa Clouthier as she, Elizabeth Blackney, Dan Riehl and Steve Schippert take on RNC Chairman Steele, Obama’s Afghan strategy and the internecine warfare the Republicans always seem determined to fight.

A matched quartet here, but only for the over 18 crowd, because the tie that binds these four is the disturbing issue of the Left and childhood sexuality: First. Second. Third. Fourth. UPDATE:  Mike suggested a Fifth. You know, I’m thinking that, quite possibly, there’s the germ of an American

Can you think of a more apt metaphor for Obama’s America? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQlpDiXPZHQ[/youtube] The only problem is that those of us issuing this cry are speaking into a void.  I don’t see anyone racing to the rescue. Hat tip:  Sadie
