Okay, friends and neighbors. Let’s talk a bit about the Pledge of Allegiance. There’s another court challenge regarding the Pledge in the state of Massachusetts right now. Some atheist parents are suing the state over the recital of the Pledge in public school every morning because it contains the words “under God”, which they consider…

well, I’m glad it won’t be war-war.
Secretary of State Lurch says that the administration isn’t asking Congress for permission to go to war in Syria because bombing Syria wouldn’t be “war in the classic sense”. You know, more of a Diet War. War Light. New War. Less filling than the old kind. Trying to move goalposts by changing definitions—that’s pretty much…
keeping safe from cylon network hacks.
Apparently, the Kremlin is putting typewriters back into service for internal documents to prevent the security issues that come with easily disseminated digital materials. No networked computers on the Galactica, and all that. I’m a known fan of analog technology, but this is not the way to keep your communications from being sent out over…

And that’s one vintage Porsche 911 less in the world: Man seriously injured after crashing Porsche. That’s in New Hampshire (albeit wayyyy north of here, in Coos County near the border with Maine), and that is was a 1967-vintage Porsche 911. One of my frivolous middle age pipe dreams is to own a restored Porsche…

demonstrably wrong, laughably ignorant, and deliberately deceptive.
(Note: This post is largely directed at my liberal and progressive friends. Yes, I have those, just like I have Libertarian and conservative friends. If your entire social circle shares one political viewpoint, you don’t live in the real world, you live in an echo chamber. Conservative friends: please refrain from “LIBRULS ARE TEH STOOPID!!!1!!ONE!!…

There are a few things I know for sure about Officer Reverse Eotech: He has never been to the range to properly zero his carbine. Probably took it out of the box, loaded it up, mounted the sight improperly, and put the whole thing into the trunk of his cruiser. He went to a hot…
papal election tweets.
Marko Kloos @markokloos Wait. Benedict XVI resigned, right? Does he still get the talking portrait in the Papal Office? Marko Kloos @markokloos Meanwhile, in the catacombs underneath the Vatican, Ratzinger is being fitted with adamantium claws, founding member of the X-POPES. 12m Marko Kloos @markokloos The new Pope will be presented to…
the nanny state marches on.
Tomorrow, New York City’s ban on large sugary drinks goes into effect. The ban’s purpose is not to reduce the obesity rate like Bloomberg claims. Its purpose is not even symbolic, a sign that the city is seen “doing something”. That ban is a prime example of “Hat on a Stick” legislation. What’s “Hat on…
