Proper Gym Behavior

This especially applies to small community gyms, like where I go in my golfing community. Get the heck off your phone call, or go outside. Use some sort of headset (there’s a sign at my gym which says this, yet a few people have to do their own thing. I’ve asked politely, and when rebuffed, […]

What Happens When Almost Everything Is Considered Sexist?

There is real sexism in the world. It’s also a two way street, but, let’s be honest, most sexism is from men towards women. One thing to consider is what is really sexist and what isn’t. Is Augusta National, which pretty much excludes women, sexist? If so, then wouldn’t a women only health club or […]

Are Corporations People?

One of the whiny tropes from Leftists regarding the ruling for Sebelius v Hobby Lobby is that corporations are not people. One can find a gazillion (slightly more than a sh*tload) examples in blogs, Tweets, Facebook posts, op-eds, editorials, and so forth. So, are corporations people? Remember back to the last general election when Mitt […]

Join Or Die

Yesterday, I had a post discussing elected officials not getting the benefits from seniority anymore, which led to a discussion of term limits and repealing the 17th Amendment. Bob from The Camp Of The Saints had an interesting post entitled Join Or Die, playing off a comment from protein wisdom, which was about electing all […]

Treacher: Is It OK To Not Give A Hoot About Cliven Bundy?

Good question (Daily Caller) I haven’t been following the Cliven Bundy case because, believe it or not, southwestern grazing disputes have never been among my interests. I know the Daily Caller has done stories about him because I’ve seen the headlines, but I haven’t followed the whole thing. I haven’t written a word about him […]

Welcome To Raleigh Snowmageddon

Yes, I’m usually kind of lame at responding to comments during the day. That whole work thing, and it being kind of a pain to type that much on an Android. I have a good excuse for today: I left work around 2pm, and walked in my door at 547pm. It normally takes me around […]

Ever Notice That Those Calling For Tolerance Are Rather Intolerant Themselves?

One of the big stories making the rounds is about Chris Kluwe calling Minnesota Vikings coaches names I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot Hello. My name is Chris Kluwe, and for eight years I was the punter for the Minnesota Vikings. In May 2013, the Vikings […]

New Year’s Resolutions

In case you missed it, I’m a rather private person. I do not talk much about Me. I’m rather private out in the Real Worldâ„¢, as well, unless I really know someone. Even then, I tend to deflect more to the person or people I’m talking to. Anyhow, for a first, I’ll give you my […]

A Dying Culture

Thoughts of the night from the late Robert Heinlein, from his novel Friday “A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot…” What made me think about that quote was a minor confrontation […]

How To Destroy The Morals And Mores Of A Country

In discussing the uber-left book Christan Nation, I mentioned I generally avoid the heavily political fiction books (I don’t mind a bit of politics, but, keep it simple), but there are two I’ve read in the last year or so, An Act Of Self Defense by Erne Lewis and In Due Time by J.K. Jones, […]
