The difference between US and UK English is that the British find the letter z scary but love extra u’s.
I like the South Dakota gun law. Kids these day will really respond to laws being passed ironically.
When a horse gets sick, doctors often prescribe 2nd Amendment remedies.
Mubarak is like Barack Obama but with cow powers.
Buttercup, don’t look so happy to be in your Bumbo; it’s not like you’re getting paid to do an ad for them.
*Lets just be grateful for now mainstream American lefties hate guns. History shows every time that once socialists start seeing blood as the key to utopia it flows like rivers. Imagine if they did to the second amendment what they have done to the commerce clause. These people think of nothing past their own momentary impulse (usually selfishly motivated) on a one dimensional plane.
*The problem with the gun bill is that through the militia portions of the constitution and especially that it is being done on a state level it is probably constitutional. Sweden has a similar militia law.
*Spengler has a great take on the middle east-china-wheat price connection. This dynamic has been known for awhile but Russia’s recent drought pushed it over the edge.

“It turns out that China, not the United States or Israel, presents an existential threat to the Arab world, and through no fault of its own: rising incomes have gentrified the Asian diet, and – more importantly – insulated Asian budgets from food price fluctuations. Economists call this “price elasticity.” Americans, for example, will buy the same amount of milk even if the price doubles, although they will stop buying fast food if hamburger prices double. Asians now are wealthy enough to buy all the grain they want.
If wheat output falls, for example, due to drought in Russia and Argentina, prices rise until demand falls. The difference today is that Asian demand for grain will not fall, because Asians are richer than they used to be. Someone has to consume less, and it will be the people at the bottom of the economic ladder, in this case the poorer Arabs. “
Are you telling us the British are responsible for the rise of the silent letter? Damn them!
You’re not a true conservative if you only “like” the law.
Uh Oh! Bumbo is one letter away from Bimbo! Bad Girl Buttercup!
Bumbo – mama was a bum, daddy was a hobo.
I know this has nothing to do with the price of wheat in China, but why doesn’t the clown fish in the white house make a statement on Egypt?
Now that they are rioting in the middle east, how soon before that one blames Bush?
In my day we didn’t call it a bumpo, we called it a hat.
PoB: You wore those weird seat-thingys on your head? That explains a lot.
So what, you’re being paid for your kid doing an ad for Bumbo?
I hope Buttercup learned a lesson from McCauley Culkin and Bart “Baby Sting Breath” Simpson.
When I see someone texting and driving, my middle finger thinks of First Amendment remedies.
Once the horse is dead, liberals applying the “beating” remedy.
Most gun laws are ironic. The law in South Dakota is just more obviously so.
This is apropos of nothing, but I just watched the video of a Planned Parenthood staffer coaching a pimp. It made me ill. But then, I had this massive palate cleanser. Bishnu Shrestha, a retired Gurkha soldier, defended a girl from being raped by 40 bandits, although he was armed only with his khukuri knife:
What balls. One should never eph with a Gurkha. They are among the world’s bravest fighters and are currently serving in Afghanistan.
Too bad that Mr. Shrestha wasn’t at that meeting at Planned Parenthood.
Frank, please dis-moderate my post. I promise to be better next time.
About Spengler, (David Goldman) is world famous. You can find his dec 2008 article “The failed Muslim states to come” here

Do you know anyone else that called it this moment that far in advance? The entire US state department/Obama administration still isn’t sure whats happening. The Wheat price matters so much because most people in Egypt lives on 2$ a day. So a doubling in Wheat price probably means you have a few million people who instead of 2 meals a day have 1 . That sort of thing can quickly cause revolutions. Here is his closer.
“The Arab poor have been priced out of world markets. There is no solution to Egypt’s problems within the horizon of popular expectations. Whether the regime survives or a new one replaces it, the outcome will be a disaster of, well, biblical proportions.
The best thing the United States could do at the moment would be to offer massive emergency food aid to Egypt out of its own stocks, with the understanding that President Mubarak would offer effusive public thanks for American generosity. This is a stopgap, to be sure, but it would pre-empt the likely alternative. Otherwise, the Muslim Brotherhood will preach Islamist socialism to a hungry audience. That also explains why Mubarak just might survive. Even Islamists have to eat. The Iranian Islamists who took power in 1979 had oil wells; Egypt just has hungry mouths. Enlightened despotism based on the army, the one stable institution Egypt possesses, might not be the worst solution. “
Obama never said this.
“When a horse gets sick, doctors often prescribe 2nd Amendment remedies.”
And when a woman gets pregnant, liberals demand her healthy baby receive the same remedy.
Put some wheels on that seat so that Buttercup’s Reign Of Terror can begin.
Random thought brought on by Kris’s ‘Allahu Snackbar’ lolterizt photoshop: Would an Allahu Snackbar be an instant sensation in IslamoLand, and thus, make you rich, or get you a fatwa of death? Someone ought to test market it in Dearbornistan.
