Sometimes Spending Limits Are Not Negotiable

In a fundraising letter, Michelle Obama said “keep writing those checks. And if you haven’t maxed out, max out!”

Thus marking the only time you’ll hear an Obama suggest limiting spending to maximum.

That Crashing Sound Is Her Illusions Shattering

Talk about awkward – in a live interview, a Los Angeles TV reporter was told by a scientist that no, “climate change” doesn’t cause tornadoes.

Man, I’d hate to see her face when she finds out about Santa Claus.

Obama Warned Us – Merit

When people are judged by merit, not connections, then the best and brightest can lead the country, people will work hard, and the entire economy will grow – everyone will benefit and more resources will be available for all, not just select groups.

BARACK OBAMA, speech, Aug. 28, 2006

“My select groups WILL, however, still get to decide who gets what.”

How Newspapers Survive

Newspapers have been having trouble for some time, but one, the New York Post, has made some good decisions that should help. First of all, they’ve had me write for them — one of the best ideas anyone in print can ever make. Second, they’ve now started a blog devoted to scifi, comic books, and video games. For the longest time, newspapers have always had this boring “sports” section but nothing devoted to actual interesting stuff like Star Wars and Batman and Legend of Zelda. Good to see newspapers growing up.

Straight Line of the Day: The Real Cause of the California Wildfires…

Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.

Conservatives and Their Mean Old Existing

So the narrative about the whole IRS thing is changing. First, it was this is awful… but done by a few low-level employees. Now it’s “overreach” with the addition of “conservatives brought this on themselves by existing.”

Conservatives existing as long been seen as a provocation by liberals. Liberals are just walking around, being super right about everything, and then suddenly these conservatives exist and ruin that. And then we ruin freedom of speech by using it in a way liberals never envisioned it being used — to disagree with them.

Well, we just can’t help the existing, so we’ll just have to make a compromise: Liberals get to yell and scream at us all they want, and we get to smash all their toys in front of them while they watch. Smash all their toys — their government power — while they weep and cry. Other compromise: Hippies will be allowed to have faces as long as we can punch them.

It’s all fun and games until you start using the government against us, and then you must suffer.

Random Thoughts: Hugs and Game of Thrones

I give out free hugs for the first week and then I start charging.

Probable end of Game of Thrones: Dany returns to Westeros and reunites the kingdoms and then a piano falls on her and she dies.

Other possibility: The last book is just the description of fan-favorite Tyrion’s long agonizing death.

If Joss Whedon guess directs an episode of Game of Thrones, you better gird yourself.

Why does George R.R. Martin take so long to write his books? Does he have 12-hour shifts at Taco Bell every day and little time for writing?

Hey, George R. R. Martin’s website has been update; it no longer looks like it was designed by a 9yo girl in the late 90s.

We wouldn’t have had any of these problems if we had built that high-speed rail.

If Not For the Children, Then Do It for the Mayor

New York City has sent notice to 17 restaurants, telling them that they have to close their outdoor sidewalk seating areas.

Good idea. Mayor Bloomberg might walk by and sees someone enjoying their food.
