    THE DARK OVERCOMES THE GREEN

    I recall so clearly on that cold green night

    The echo of frightened squalors

    Looking for some light of hope.

    The circled dance of the damned raged at the other Pub

    Where [...]

  • Hope and Change for Fishermen

    Snowflakes in Hell

    Looks like Fishermen are getting abused by the Administration just as we thought gun owners would. There’s even media apologists saying that the fishermen and their representative groups are nuts. Obama just wouldn’t do that, you see? Because he’s a smart politician. Sorry, not buying it. Barry is about the [...]

  • Reading the Tea Leaves

    Booman Tribune

    Not too many progressive bloggers gave a shit, so few of us wrote about it, but there was test-vote of sorts for the health care reforms today in the House of Representatives. Without getting too detailed, former Democrat Parker Griffith of Alabama forced a vote on whether or not the [...]

  • Is Allyson Schwartz Nervous?

    page13news

    When Brian Haughton announced he would become one of the potential challengers to the 13th congressional district of Pennsylvania, currently held by Allyson Schwartz, calls from Washington were made to the Philly Firefighters union in an effort to get him to back off his candidacy. Haughton didn't oblige.

    Yesterday,' [...]

  • State’s Rights Showdown

    Pamela Varkony's Perspectives

    Since reentering the blogosphere I have deliberately stayed away from highly controversial subjects, especially those involving national politics. It’s not that I no longer care, in fact the exact opposite is true: There’s so much going on in Washington with which I disagree, it’s better to not “go there”. I [...]

  • PA-3: GOP Ballot Order Finalized

    That's Rich

    The ballot order for the GOP candidates in PA-3 has been determined by drawing in Harrisburg. The only candidate to attend the drawing was Tea Party activist Clayton Grabb.

    It turned out to be a fortunate drive to Harrisburg, as Grabb secured the first spot on the ballot.

  • March Madness, Baby!

    Bluftooni

    It's that time of the year when I find myself hitting refresh on ESPN.com several times during the day.

    'Nova pulls out a squeaker over Robert Morris in overtime and March Madness is HERE, baby!

    I'm not a huge sports fan, nor even a [...]

  • Reconciliation

    Booman Tribune

    Want to know what's in the reconciliation bill? Here you go. You'll probably wonder why anyone would want to "read the bill," and that was a summary that translates the actual bill into something a normal human might understand if they are an incredible geek. I'd actually like to pass [...]

  • A Perennial Issue

    Snowflakes in Hell

    Sailorcurt is not alone in his disappointment that NRA has picked an off limits venue for the Annual Meeting. I would obviously rather be at a venue that allows carry as well, and this has been a constant complaint I’ve heard from members. It was nice in Kentucky and Phoenix [...]

  • Knowledge vs. Skill

    Snowflakes in Hell

    Many people who are unfamiliar with firearms, which includes many people who work or volunteer for gun control organizations, don’t really understand shooting as a skill. They tend to want to treat is as knowledge. Knowledge is beneficial, but it can’t make one a proficient and safe shooter. I’ve spent [...]

  • Would Obama lie to me?

    TONY PHYRILLAS

    Medicare is broke. Social Security is broke. The postal service is broke. The entire federal government is broke. Why am I having such a difficult time believing that Obamacare will end up reducing the federal deficit, just like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi say?

    From POLITICO: The Democratic [...]

  • IMPLOSION: Obama Cancels Asia Trip

    Bucks Right


    As the prospect of passing his trillion dollar government health care takeover grow dimmer, Barack Obama is battening down the hatches and rallying around the tattered liberal flag.  He’s canceled his trip to Asia, which was planned for early next week. White House press secretary Robert [...]

  • A Man Walked into a Bar

    Booman Tribune

    If you walk into a bar and tell someone that we can spend a trillion dollars and cover thirty million uninsured Americans and the effect on the budget will be to save $1.3 trillion over the next twenty years, you'll probably get told that you're crazy, But that's exactly what [...]
