You seriously, SERIOUSLY cannot make this stuff up. “Feminists” and other assorted politically correct left wing nitwits have worked themselves up into an “outraged” lather over a (gasp!) some nice praise he gave to and about California AG Kamala Harris. Apparently the compliment was “sexist” because it included a comment about her … looks. First, [...]

**Posted by Phineas Isn’t this how we got into the current mess?

Posted by: Phineas on March 28, 2013 at 1:01 pm » 2 Comments

**Posted by Phineas Not yet, but a Berkeley (natch) city councilor thinks it’s a grand idea: Gordon Wozniak, a Berkeley city councilman, proposed taxing email messages during a recent city council meeting in an effort to reduce the spread of “spam,” or unwanted emails.

**Posted by Phineas Hoo, boy. I just had a feeling that, once the the EUrocracy learned it could take depositors’ money at will without a total meltdown, the temptation to do it again (and again and again and again…;) would be too great to  resist. Thus we read in the Telegraph: Cyprus bail-out: savers will [...]

**Posted by Phineas According to MSNBC, that is. Background: loathsome nanny-state Mayor (1) Mike Bloomberg has been on a crusade since the Aurora and Newtown mass killings to take New York City’s extremely restrictive (and, in my opinion, unconstitutional) gun laws nationwide, spending millions of his own money to pressure (2) Congress and various state [...]

**Posted by Phineas National debt approaching $17 trillion? North Korean nukes and the threat of war on the peninsula? America’s credit rating? Nah, it’s March Madness, baby! And Barack Obama, President of the United States, tweeted this morning to remind everyone to get in on the fun: Finish your bracket: It’s time for #MarchMadness. twitter.com/BarackObama/st… [...]

 

Honey trap: US missile defense contractor sold secrets to the Chinese for sex

Posted by: Phineas on March 20, 2013 at 2:08 pm » 3 Comments

**Posted by Phineas It’s amazing how stupid we get when our hormones and feelings are involved: a 59 years old former Army officer, who now works on missile defense, has thrown his career, his honor, and his life away for a woman half his age… who also happened to be a Chinese spy. “According to [...]
