Two Words You Probably Never Want to Think About: ‘Botched Vasectomy’

Also, “shooting rampage”: Newly released 911 tapes reveal what the Reno, Nev., hospital shooter apparently told trapped patients and employees as he terrorized a medical office, killing one doctor and wounding two other people before taking his own life last week. His apparent reason for the rampage? A vasectomy he said wrecked his life. One […]

Value Judgments

This seems simple doesn’t it? If it isn’t wrong to kill children, then it can not be wrong to do anything else. . . . Believe it or not, even politically incorrect comments about homosexuality have to be excused if we are to believe that baby killing is a moral act. I’m often told that […]

@Alexs1776 Brings The #Boom

by Smitty From the last press conference a week back, emphasis mine: On Obamacare, the president allowed he’d made mistakes when it came to the health care rollout. “Even though I was meeting every other week, every three weeks with folks and emphasizing how important it was that consumers have a good experience … the […]

‘But … They Were in Love’

Dante Mobley, 30, accused of sex with 14-year-old. The accused 30-year-old perpetrator tried to deny it, but his 14-year-old victim offered a familiar defense in his behalf: In the Bunnell case, the parent of a 14-year-old girl in Bunnell called cops at 4 a.m. on Dec. 22, to report that the girl had snuck out […]

Egypt’s military-backed interim government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization Wednesday, intensifying its campaign of arrests and prosecutions targeting its members and tightening the noose on the group’s network of charities and businesses. The unprecedented executive decision likely ends any chance of reconciliation between the government and the […]

Obviously a Satire

When Donald Douglas posted this photo at American Power, I immediately recognized it as an ironic put-down of feminism: I….WHAT?!?!?! RT @MyWhiteNinja: Never forget: pic.twitter.com/Zd1uwtxhBT — Heather (@hboulware) December 24, 2013 Two key clues to the satirical intention: A poster in the background showing Austrian economists — Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, et al. — signals a […]

Probably Should Take The Day Off

by Smitty Santa is low-key this year. The World’s Youngest Blogger has puked about five times today, the check engine light on the car is going to cost ~$1,200 to turn off, and the prescription sunglasses have pulled a Snowden on me. Whaddayagonna do? Get frisky with a steak this afternoon, say I:

The Anthropogenic Global Offgassing Change Climate

by Smitty That the climate changes is a no-brainer. Of course it does. I admire the Left’s rhetorical trick of silencing opposition at work here, akin to asserting that the Earth rotates, such that anyone daring to fall short of total agreement is claiming a static planet. Bravo. And, also, apparently, the sun doesn’t have […]
