Agitations

Two items noted at Radley Balko's place:

*** Begging For Trouble: Balko wants Amsoc to come right out and call for prohibition of alcohol. It makes sense to me.

*** Follow The Link-train to end up at the announcement of a coast-to-coast crime-spree to take place this summer. This is hair-raising. These bastards (foreigners, to boot) are brazenly telling everyone exactly what they plan to do, and everyone concerned with The Rule of Law should be up in arms.

I'm Pretty Sure I'm A Philistine, Now

...and over the matter of a pink Marshall stack, no less. (See the comments.)

You know what? If you managed to drag me through the door of this room, I would be reduced to complete catatonia -- barring escape -- so shortly that nobody could possibly profit by it, excepting only their motivation to see that, in itself.

You cannot imagine how bullshit like that offends me. Seriously. If I knew that the "artists" were going to be pitched straight off the New Jersey Pallisades into the river, I would hike to the middle of the George Washington Bridge in good time to witness the "performance".

This Is Why I Don't Read 'Catallarchy' Anymore

Drizzten has put up a three hundred thirty-one-word post which very neatly crystallizes why I do not put up with owl-eyed dinks whose fundamental approach to politics is to whip out their slide-rules and start calculating at the margins.

They are punks, up & down, first to last. I need 'em like I need another hole in my head.

Drastic Measures

L. Neil Smith calls for castration of boys in the public schools.

It's about time.

I Believe This Is Known As "Projection"

"We didn't criticize you when you fired those reporters at CBS."

Okay: guess who said that, to whom. Go ahead.

Here is a hint: one can easily be boggled that any so-called "world leader" could be such an astonishing ignoramus.

How Bad Is It?

"Things have gotten so bad on campus, that UC can't get rid of a known liar and plagiarist - not without a ten million dollar settlement, that is. Things have gotten so bad in the courts, that a ten million dollar buyout might be cheaper than a court fight. Things have gotten so bad, that a liar and plagiarist holds all the cards; he can keep his stature, pay, and influence, or he can get a seven figure check."

(Stephen Green)

Oh, I think it's a lot worse than that.

To my mind, the worst aspect of this thing is the number of people who cannot or will not reason their way through the obvious facts of this dirt-bomb's life.
