No, I’m not going to pull my punches just because she is a grieving mother. Her son died over a year ago, in a battle he volunteered for, in a war he re-enlisted for at age 24. It was his decision and she should respect his choice. She has already met with the President...
The final sentence from my last post reminded me of my first taste of PC censure of a major corporation: The elimination of the Frito Bandito. Most of you (except Gus) are too young to remember the corn chip stealing, bandoleer draped, sombrero wearing Mexican… er, Hispanic. I even had one of the promotional...
Gus’ last post reminded me of this article from NRO writer John Miller that questions the recent ruling by the NCAA that will ban “nicknames or mascots that are determined to be ‘hostile or abusive’.†In the comments I mistakenly noted a poll by Sports Illustrated conducted by The Peter Harris Research Group as...
I was sleeping at my friend’s house in West Hills (about 60 miles from Edwards AFB) last night with the windows open when I was woken by the sound of double thunderclaps shaking the windows. It took me about two seconds to recognize the sound for what it was: the Shuttle’s double sonic boom...
Blogging has been light, well… none existent for a while and will remain so until I find more time. My father passed away last week, my company moved, and I’m in the process of moving with it. I’ve lived in the same house for 15 years so it is indeed a monumental task. Once...
Like the game one plays on long, boring road trips except the questions are from an AI program that “learns†from all the games it plays. So I guess really stupid people shouldn’t play and teach it to be stupid. It just got “briefcase†and “Tyrannosaurus Rex†both in 17 questions. So if you’re...
Liberal: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Islamic Terrorist: Well then, my friend, I’ll slit your throat last.
A Carnival of Comedy, that is. This week’s host is none other than Scientologist and all around nutjob Tom Cruise. The picture of him in his tinfoil hat is worth the visit in itself. I submitted my Gay Fuel post (scroll down) and at least I wasn’t in the “turd†section (you’ll have to...
Specialty Spirits is marketing a carbonated energy drink specifically targeting gay consumersâ€â€Ânot that there’s anything wrong with that. Ingredients: elderberry juice, caffeine, ginseng and three Brazilian herbs that are supposed to make you sexually stimulated. They also claim that 5% of the profits go to HIV/AIDS organizations. Isn’t that a bit of a conflict...
I wrote this letter to my Congressman Ken Calvert. Luckily he’s Republican but once the Dems see the outrage I would hope they would be on board, if, for anything, the votes. Dear Congressman Calvert, Being a homeowner in your district for 15 years I was appalled at the recent decision by the Supreme...
I followed a link from Little Green Footballs to an extremely vile and divisive article from Seattle reporter Ken Schram titled Just Born The ‘Right’ Way? In it he sites a study from American Political Science Association that claims, “Political attitudes and behavior are the result of both environmental and genetic factorsâ€ÂÂ. One may...
Here is the message I sent my senator Dianne Feinstein: Dear Senator Feinstein, This is regarding Senator Durbin’s comments made in the Senate likening our treatment of detainees in Gitmo to Nazis, Gulags and Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge. The Senator has not apologized, is now a celebrity in the Al Jazeera media, and has...
Here is an email I sent to Dick Durbin at dick@durbin.senate.gov: Dear Senator Durbin, You, sir, are an ignorant fool to mention ANY of our soldiers in the same breath as three of the most despicable regimes the world has ever known. You are giving aid to the enemy and that makes you a...
And this time it took twelve adults instead of the usual one young boy. At least it’s finally over, now Michael can go back to Neverland and play with his monkey… and then with his other pets.
Amnesty International started the ball rolling with their “Gulag†remark. Then came Senator Joe Biden and others calling for the closure of the hellhole that is Gitmo AI was quick to jump on the bandwagon calling for closure with a clever...
ABC Gets It Right. Last Friday I received a late e-mail from ACFC about Dr. Warren Farrell appearing as a featured speaker on 20/20 that evening. If you missed it you missed a good one. Very surprising was that this was aired on ABC, and I may start watching more often. The host, whose...
Warren Farrell Takes On Hillary Clinton and Martha Burk on 20/20. I know it’s short notice, but this just in: Tonight at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific, 9 pm Central on ABC, the author of “Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap — and What Women Can Do About Itâ€ÂÂ...
Carnival of Comedy is Up! And this week is specialâ€â€ÂThe Daily Cause has two, count ‘em, (2) entries. Bill C submitted his “Wilbanks Indicted†picture of the Runaway Bride, which is great ‘cause I left a comment on it so I get some air time there as well as from my submittal: “The Blog...
The Blog Name Change. We, “The Blog formerly known as the Chapin Nation,†will henceforth be called “The Daily Cause.†So shall it be written, so shall it be done. I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords… Here is an unofficial transcript of a brief dialogue between Bernard Chapin and me–two of the...
Roll Over Tom Paine. John Hawkins at Right Wing News has posted his favorite quotes from Thomas Paine’s “Common Senseâ€ÂÂ. One struck me as particularly germane to the war in Iraq when just a few words are changed. Here’s the original: “A line of distinction should be drawn between English soldiers taken in battle...
