McCain wins support of Colorado Hispanics

This doesn’t bode well for the Obama/Joker campaign.

Admiral

How long do you figure we’ll have to wait to see this movie on video?

IMDB lists release dates for Eastern European countries and Russia only. Meh.

What he said

Dennis Prager lists his beliefs.
The following is a list of beliefs that I hold. Nearly every one of them was a liberal position until the late 1960s. Not one of them is now.

Finally, I believe that there are millions of Americans who share most of these beliefs who still call themselves “liberal” or “progressive” and […]

Thanks

Royal Navy veteran, woken by screams from his next door neighbor and her baby, and the sound of men shouting. It’s 2:30 in the morning.
He called police and strapped on the false leg he has worn since his leg was amputated in March 2004 while he was still serving with the Royal Navy.
Aware he was […]

The People’s Republic

The People’s Republic of Boulder, CO now has decided how big you may build your home.
After years of discussion and debate, the county commissioners unanimously passed new regulations Thursday meant to preserve the rural character of unincorporated Boulder County by limiting house sizes.
The new rules, which will go into effect Aug. 8, will force anyone […]

Hate crime

A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.
Sure, that’s bad. This is worse:
A police community support officer (PCSO) interrupted the conversation and began questioning the ministers about their beliefs.
They said when the officer realised they were American, although both have lived […]

Letters to the Troops

Jim at Thinking Right collecting letters for the men and women serving aboard the USS Russell. So far he’s received a little over 50 letters. Remember, we’re looking for about 250, so we’ve got a long way to go yet.
Once again, any help you all can give would be greatly appreciated. Please pass the word […]

Leftist terror

Slapstick has an exclusive story running about this summer’s Democratic National Convention. I’m going nowhere near downtown Denver in August.
Targeting Democrat delegates, hotels, banks, military recruitment centers, and governmental and police offices…
Keep an eye on this….El Presidente has it covered well.

“child advocates”

In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, “you keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”
A California court has ruled that the homeschooled children of Phillip and Mary Long must attend public schools - or, as the “court” put it,
that several children in one homeschool family must be […]

What’s the difference?

What’s the difference between Easter and Pascha? I’m glad you asked. As a new Orthodox Christian I’m learning, too. This series also helps me to set things right in my head as well as in yours. There’s actually not a ton of difference between the two celebrations, or even how liturgical churches recognize them. The […]

Global Warming

It’s a bitch, ain’t it? From National Post writer Lorne Gunter,
Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.
The hell you say! Oh sure, that’s snow. But it’s global warming that has made it warmer across the … um, globe.
The U.S. National Climatic […]

Even in Boulder, some see common sense

A few months back this news story came to light:
It’s about a couple named Don and Susie Kirlin. They moved to the city in 1980. A few years later, the Kirlins purchased a plot of land near their residence, hoping to someday build a “dream home.”

Despite owning the land, despite living only 200 yards […]

The political party that just keeps on giving

Giving pink slips, that is.
WASHINGTON — Some U.S. Army civilian employees may get pink slips before Christmas because Defense Department funding hasn’t been approved, a defense spokesman said.
President George Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have asked Congress to pass a $178 billion defense funding bill without including a timetable for troop withdrawals from Iraq. […]

The wedding gig

I’m pretty sure I played this gig once. At least. Read the response below the fold.
Dear Mr. Bandleader,
My wife and I look forward to you providing music at our daughter’s wedding. We have a list of songs we would like you to play. Don’t worry if you don’t know all of them. Any Chick Corea […]

Maybe it’s just me

But if you’re an “environmentalist” that is against coal, gas, oil, nuclear and now wind power…. you’re part of the problem, not the solution.
