Clearing the Browser Tabs – Back to Winter Thursday Edition
Today is Thursday, which as we all know, is the day before Friday. Saturday, I have heard, comes after. Normally, this would make me glad — the upcoming weekend, not the song reference I just made in a vain attempt to get the excerpt SMP Mike played for us at the end of Tuesday’s live [...]
An Exit Strategy That’s Not an Exit Strategy for A War That’s Not A War
Sunday, I wrote a post titled “To Heck With an Exit Strategy, Can the President Tell Us His Entry Strategy for Libya?”. When I wrote that, I thought surely President would have such a strategy for whatever the heck it is he’s doing in Libya, considering the Democratic Party’s obsession with the phrase “exit strategy” [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Anvil of Thursday Edition
At the risk of turning The Sundries Shack into The Cimmerian Yurt, let me share with you a little video tidbit I found while doing some research for the Conan part of the latest episode of The Delivery. I think you will like it. That is legendary soundtrack composer Basil Poledouris conducting some of his [...]
Why Does the President Want Us to Buy More Oil From A Crazy Man?
I used to love the Weekly World News. I never minded handing over a couple bucks to learn where Bat Boy had landed to fight the Islamists or the latest “Dick Cheney is a Robot” story. Nearly every page entertained me and, since I’m already a fan of weird fiction, I could imagine a story [...]
The Delivery Presents – Adventure is Good in Aquilonia, Not Libya
“Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Arius, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this, Episode 84 of The Delivery, destined to wear the jeweled crown of podcasting eminence upon a troubled brow. It is I, its creator, who alone can tell thee of his [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Hating Sarah Wednesday Edition
I didn’t think it was possible, but Bill Maher finally launched an attack at Sarah Palin so vile that the National Organization for Women actually condemned it. Okay, it was a grudging condemnation that, essentially, boiled down to “Darn you right-wingers for holding us to our stated mission and making us defend a woman we [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Shouldn’t Comedy Be Funny Tuesday Edition
I swear, I don’t know how Michelle Malkin does it. She is one of the sweetest, most big-hearted people I’ve ever met. Yet she has to endure garbage like this, from allegedly-tolerant progressives, on a fairly regular basis. I don’t know who tells these young comedians that they should do insult humor, but, as far [...]
Pawlenty’s In, But He Won’t Win So Long As His Last Name is “Who?”
Some days I’m all about the politics and some days I’m not. Lately, I haven’t really been feeling like a political animal. Unlike many of my friends, politics isn’t my meat and drink. I don’t live it every day. I’m surrounded by co-workers who think very rarely about politics, except they’ve been thinking about it [...]
