Let's face it: Facebook is way too easy

If you're not my 'friend' on facebook, then you may not have seen these links. So let me dump them on you now; that way, we'll all be "on the same page." 

 

COLLATERAL DAMAGE in Obama's War on Coal: "Weaknesses in the COAL market put a dent in the revenue of every railroad..." 

(Foreclosure Inventory & Activity) During the campaign, Obama said the private sector's "doing fine." And he got re-elected? I don't get it. 

"We are redeeming the final sparks of light." Ameyn. Let it be so.

Surber the Great: "We shall see if Boehner is bluffing, but he has been playing the game a long time and he has an excellent track record."

Weasel Zippers frightened: "Entitlements And Obamacare To Make Up 53% of Federal Spending…"

Hot Spit! Ahmadinejad gets hit with a shoe outside Cairo mosque.

Then there was the email I received from Sen. Rand Paul. I really liked the subject line: Without Life, There Is No Liberty. Think about it, because without both life and liberty there can be no pursuit of happiness.

And finally, who remembers that a 16-year-old American was killed in one of Obama's drone strikes? WZ not only remembers, but quotes this exchange from a White House Press Briefing at the time:

ADAMSON: …It’s an American citizen that is being targeted without due process, without trial. And, he’s underage. He’s a minor.

GIBBS: I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if they are truly concerned about the well being of their children....

 

Oh, and in case you didn't know, the Mainstream Media would gladly surrender y/our Second Amendment rights.

Finally, this news about West Virginia just goes to show how wrong the voters were (twice!) not to elect my friend Bill Maloney for Governor.

Public EDUCATION in WEST VIRGINIA scores (A-) in school finance ... but an (F) in K-12 Achievement.

Re: "Without life, there is no liberty." It's worth noting that life is the first of the unalienable rights listed in the Declaration -- a fine example of the logic and the linguistic precision exhibited by Jefferson and his Declaration-writing collaborators, Adams and Franklin. These were men who had too much respect for English to mangle it. For a superb example of mangled English, one need look no further than Robert Gibbs's sadistically mutilated sentence at the end of this post. The sentence is so badly mauled that no one, I am certain, can know for sure what it means. But -- if my interpretation is correct -- he was trying to say that children, presumably at some moment before birth, should choose their fathers. But this would imply that they should also choose their mothers -- something that can, I believe, only be done prior to conception. How a not-yet-conceived child is supposed to accomplish all this is a metaphysical question that is light-years beyond my pay grade. Let us all be grateful that Robert Gibbs did not write the Declaration of Independence.
