From Where I sit

Now, that’s a great analogy

It is like being strapped into a bus that is cruising at speed directly towards a steel-reinforced concrete wall while the driver and and his cheerleaders up front with the microphones are all screeching at the top of their lungs about…gay marriage.

And they just won’t shut the f*ck up about that, or about dog transport methods or prep school shenanigans 47 years ago or free birth control, long enough to ask the driver some questions about the wall, our speed, and the direction of the goddamn bus.

Walt Disney must have hated the world very much…

Obama is in serious trouble

If the best President Obama’s buddies in the mainstream media can come up with to attack Mitt Romney is a high school prank that may or may not have happened 47 years ago and Mr. Romney transporting his dog in a kennel on the roof of his car nearly 30 years ago, they’re going to have a tough time distracting voters from what Obama has been doing for the last four years.

May surprise?

My guess is if Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm has anything really damaging on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, he’ll release it one to two weeks before the recall election.

Liberals distrust the government when they’re young

Conservatives distrust it when they’re old.

While the media and the Democrats fret about the U.S. becoming an oligarchy…

If you’re in Wisconsin, do not forget to vote, tomorrow

Governor Walker is not running unopposed. It would be truly awful if the guy running against him for the Republican nomination won because the Republicans didn’t think they needed to vote.

Joss Whedon has accomplished the one thing that no one ever has…he made a comic book movie that actually feels like a comic book.

Does Facebook remind anyone else of…

…America Online circa 2000?

In case I’m being too ambiguous, I remember when AOL was the Internet juggernaut that would last forever. I suspect Mark Zuckerberg and Stever Case might end up side-by-side on bar stools commiserating one day.

I hate playing the “imagine if” game

But imagine if these bombers had been this closely allied with the Tea Party movement instead of the Occupy movement.

Do I even have to describe the field day the mainstream media would be having?

One of the five self-described anarchists arrested last week for attempting to blow up a local bridge signed the lease for a West Side warehouse where about a dozen members of the Occupy Cleveland group live.In a one-hour recording of a Friday evening general assembly meeting of the group posted on its website http://occupycleveland.com/live-stream/, occupy leaders expressed concern about Anthony Haynes name being on the lease, which strengthens his link to the group."We have a person facing terrorism charges on the lease of our warehouse," said one of the leaders. "If this gets into the media, it would be a disaster."
