Door. Ass. Bang! (Bumped. Because.) Updated 1/22

Don't Call Us. We'll Call You.

Can't be too soon.

Thanks to Stilton

NOTE: Removed the link to the clock. I noticed it was starting to go wonky. Besides, we have the other one above.

Sippican Cottage on the Boulder Colorado Flood Cleanup

Sip nails it:
"Say, shouldn't you people be out looting or something? Waiting for a morbidly obese governor to hand you a check? Getting your stories straight for your fraudulent insurance claim?...What the hell's wrong with these people"
With a very nice accompaniment!

Go.  RTWT

Feeling Gerard's Pain

When I got the "bad ware" alert from Firefox/Google about the comments section on one of the posts are Gerard's site, I sent him a e-mail by way of a heads up, and we had a little conversation  (bottom-up post order):

Condolences.

Maybe Bill got miffed about something?? 
But, when I saw this post this morning:
My apologies. This is a very annoying time. Fixing this issue takes, I have found, lots of digging with the superb staff at Hosting Matters, a good deal of digging out of code that came in from Croatia, a resetting of all security params, a restore from a backup and then a review from Google.
It is indeed a royal pain.
I felt I should condole him some more.  (Read from the bottom up...)

...sorta sounds like my last divorce.

Sigh.

Have you tried re-generating the dilithium crystals??

 I suspect he would appreciate prayer in any denomination at this point.  It does sound as if he's getting good support at Hosting Matters, tho.  Big plus in his favor.

Look into the Void, II

I hesitated posting these pictures, but a discussion in comments over at Rodger's decided me in favor of it.  The thread addresses the idea that this was a false flag operation, and that the pictures of Mr. Bauman and his rescuers were staged.

The picture (and others) are below the fold, and are extremely graphic.  One shows Mr. Bauman's left calf and foot blow off, leaving only the tibia, shattered were his foot was blown off.

Presented without comment.

The New Revolutionary War

The ever-suave and lucid Steven Green has a post up about Michael Cannon's article in the LA TimesThe gist is, many states are not implementing the exchange infrastructure required to make Obamacare "work" (sorry).  He posits that this will make the true costs of the monstrosity visible  to all, causing massive sales in torches, pitchforks, rails, tar and feathers.  (OK, he didn't say the part about increased sales.  But it's a happy dream... .)

Vodkapundit doesn't think this has much of a chance.

This all got me to thinking (uh-oh), which started to coagulate what's been ricocheting around my cranium since the election.  Here's my comment:

"I've been contemplating may navel since the election, and I'm coming to the conclusion that the only way to stop this frikkin' nightmare is to fight and beat it at the state level.  (And by "frikkin' nightmare", I mean the whole greedy, bloated Federal Government!)

State laws prohibiting state enforcement of Federal mandates.

Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits.

States, start to wean yourself off the Federal dime.  Keep your own tax money.  Don't send any money to Washington.  Pay for your own schools and roads.

Keep as much activity and business in-state as you can, to circumvent the commerce clause.

Make yourself business-friendly.  Low taxes, right-to-work.  Train literate and numerate workers - teach them reading. writing, arithmetic, history and computers; art, literature.  Yeah, world art & lit, but make sure there's a solid foundation in American and Western history, lit and art.  Give the kids their heritage, not someone else's.

It doesn't have to be a shooting war, but it is a war."

If we aren't going to start a shooting war, which, I think, is a really bad idea, we need to entrench and start resisting through the "system" at the state level.

But we must fight back, because it is a war.

OK... (Updated)

...more than a little gin.  (Ouch.)

Impeach him??

I'm going to take down the yard signs and re-arrange the furniture.

Wal-Mart has a decent price on .45 ACP - $39.95/100 Winchester, 230 grain.

Gotta get a few more clips, too.

(Update!)  Mags..., I mean mags!
