Thought for the day
The concept of “government” is insane. There’s no such thing. It does not exist in the real world. Go out and point out a government for me. You can’t do it because it’s not there. You may as well be afraid of farts from giant space goats. When it gets down to brass tacks, you…

OBAMACARE
I’m sorry that the health care industry (there’s a telling expression) is so damned expensive in Murka. And I’m sorry that the poor can’t afford health insurance. But, all esoteric arguments aside, that’s not my problem. Every person is responsible for their own health. Don’t put a gun to my head and demand that I…

K-9 Officer laid to rest after dying from being left in hot car
K-9 Officer laid to rest after dying from being left in hot car Is the individual responsible for the dog going to be punished for killing it? If one of us “mundanes” had done the same thing, we’d be facing animal cruelty charges. It wasn’t until I started to read the article that the headline…

Saturday, August 17, 2013 ev
After I let the dogs out this morning, I glanced through the kitchen window and saw something large and white on the other side of the backyard fence. I didn’t have my glasses on so I couldn’t see it clearly, but it looked like a large white bird. At first I thought that Bill or…

Lawmakers Issued License Plates That Make Them ‘Invisible’ To Traffic Cams And Parking Tickets
There are rules for the common people and rules for their “leaders,” and only in rare cases do the same rules cover both.
