I was asked to paint something for the coaches of my son's baseball team. The coaches were awesome, so working from the only picture given to me that was workable, I did this.
Been a while since I've painted, and it was fun to do.
While I worked on it, I watched Indoctrinate U, a film about how conservative free speech is not nearly as allowed on campus as, you know, liberal free speech.
Good flick, well done for a first effort. It made its points well, and frankly the university folks come across as narrow and buffoonish. I'm sending my copy to my son, who is in college in Minnesota. Fortunately, he's smart enough not to get sucked into the liberal mindframe. Not that he won't discuss it or debate it, but his exerience has been like my experience: liberals don't like to have a conversation about differing points of view. It's just how they feel, and even if it doesn't jive with the facts, well, it's just how they feel.
It's been a while since I put a song on the site, and this little nugget floors me every time I listen to it. I've been a Kate Bush fan forever, and her latest album has a brief song entitled, "Aerial Tal." It's a duet of her - and a songbird. If I told you that a singer was singing a duet with a bird, you'd think it was going to be stupid, but no - this is Kate. It's brilliant. Genius. Beautiful.
In the history of brilliant marketing, nothing takes the cake like the media's long-running decision to present mostly left-leaning bullshit - to the harm of our nation and its people. Given the recent poll that shows that conservatives are the biggest ideological group out there, what manager would decide to limit their need for mass exposure by half the intended audience? They didn't need the poll to determine that there are a bunch of conservatives out there. And of course, this deficit of attention to anything other than left-leaning fare is what has accounted for the success of FoxNews. But alas - with Fox sporting glam-anchors like Shep Smith, the opportunity for the conservative audience is once again a market opportunity. (Fox has other folks, like Cavuto and Beck, who do fine. But still...)
So today, for a mere $5 a month, I signed up for PajamasTV. And after checking out the content, it's good. It's professional. And it's smart.
I urge you to sign up. You certainly don't want to listen to the Obama Channels (MSNBC, ABC, etc) for news...
Twitter is an interesting exercise in brevity. Me, I use it mostly to remind the rubes who voted for and support Obama that the fashion of their Obama support (because that's mostly what it is for them) is not a good look. Supporting Obama is as hip and trendy as an overweight middle-aged man wearing low rise jeans.
One of the themes I use is "People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have [insert idiocy here] stamped on their foreheads." Here's my collection. Got any others?
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "I'd rather be bicycling" stamped on their foreheads.
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "I failed adulthood" stamped on their foreheads.
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "Ward of the State" stamped on their foreheads.
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "Net worth is unimportant to me" stamped on their foreheads.
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "What can the govt give me?" stamped on their foreheads.
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "I support taking money from children" stamped on their foreheads.
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "Unemployment is cool" stamped on their foreheads
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "I hate Israel" stamped on their foreheads
People with Obama bumper stickers might as well have "I can't do basic math" stamped on their foreheads.
For those of us who actually can do math, people who support Obama look like complete idiots amidst 10% unemployment - and climbing. Amidst debt that will bury our kids. Are Obama's supporters compassionate? Not even close. Obama's supporters are concerned only about their fashion and what they can get from the government.
If you support him, you look stupid. And greedy. And incapable of math. If you support Obama, you can't connect dots. You don't believe in freedom.
Chief among the stupid is Oprah. Is socialism living your best life? Is a weaker America living your best life? Is appeasing thug dictators living your best life? Is burdening children with massive debt living your best life?
She's a sham, overripe with the shallow fashion of appearance and a complete lack of American principles.
Obama's supporters are hurting my kids' futures, and they deserve my every ridicule.
And if you see this mess happening before you and you're still silent about it, you're part of the problem.
20 years from now, will you be able to say that you did everything you could to keep your children free from the burden of trillions of dollars of debt?
No?
If you're keeping quiet, is it to preserve your reputation? Is it because your family culture just doesn't do that? Is it a fear of some sort? What's the reason?
Quick: what do politicians and serial killers have in common?
Using his law enforcement experience and data drawn from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, Jim Kouri has collected a series of personality traits common to a couple of professions.
Kouri, who's a vice president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, has assembled traits such as superficial charm, an exaggerated sense of self-worth, glibness, lying, lack of remorse and manipulation of others.
These traits, Kouri points out in his analysis, are common to psychopathic serial killers.
But - and here's the part that may spark some controversy and defensive discussion - these traits are also common to American politicians.
Yup. Violent homicide aside, our elected officials often show many of the exact same character traits as criminal nutjobs, who run from police but not for office.
Criminal nutjobs... political nutjobs... what's the difference?
