The Other Red vs. Blue

This hymn must be from an ELCA hymnal. When it comes to hymns we Missouri Synod Lutherans argue (quietly) over which is better: the red hymnal (The Lutheran Hymnal) vs. the blue hymnal (Lutheran Worship). When my family moved to a new town we picked a new church because they used the red hymnal. Unlike [...]

Sandy Berger: Crook

Filed under Politics

Sandy Berger could get a maximum of one year in jail and slapped with a $100,000 fine for pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal of classified documents from the National Archives. The guy stuffed them into his pants and socks. One wonders who he was trying to protect. His ex-boss, Bill Clinton? [...]

“I’m Not Leaving. I Want a Western Burger”

Filed under Miscellaneous
Comments Off

The police were needed to make sure a cheeseburger was made right. I nominate this woman “Moron of the Year.” She’s got a good chance of winning, and the year is still young.

Terri Schiavo is Dead

She’s gone on to a place far better than the one she left. The rest of us still on earth have to deal with the effects of how and why she died. Lord, grant us wisdom and compassion.
The Confederate Yankee writes that “Terri Shiavo’s torturous starvation is over.” With this rancorous debate McGehee [via OTB] [...]

Judicial Grandstanding

The Supreme Court again refusing to take up Terri’s case isn’t surprising. Nothing has really changed to get them to get involved. I’m ticked at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals who gave Terri Schiavo’s parents false hope. The court agreed to consider taking up the case only to issue a ruling against it [...]

New Bob Mould in July

Filed under Music

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Any new Bob Mould music will make me happy. But what kicks it up a notch (damn Emeril!) is Body of Song will “employ a guitar-heavy full-band approach.” Bob will be rockin’. Sweet!
“Yep Roc Announces Release of New Bob Mould Album!”

Teachers Union Opens the Spigot

Filed under Wisconsin

The teachers union will spend more to support incumbent state superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster than what both she and opponent Gregg Underheim have raised combined in campaign contributions.
WEAC can’t be afraid Burmaster will lose. She won’t. Burmaster has raised almost four times the money Underheim has. I can only imagine it’s the union’s way of sending [...]

The Reason Behind Operation: Full Court Press

Filed under Politics
Comments Off

MSNBC’s Brock Meeks missed the boat on the border patrol’s new effort to stop illegals from coming into Arizona from Mexico. There’s plenty of material on what the border patrol will do and whether it will be successful, but Meeks misses the reason why “Operation: Full Court Press” [NOTE: Homeland Security needs to borrow those [...]

Some Balance

Comments Off

Next month, the National Press Club will be having a discussion asking “Who is a Journalist?” One of the invitees is Jeff Gannon. Originally scheduled to appear with the lame, conservative reporter were Ana Marie Cox, and John Stanton of Congress Daily. Due to the outcry of some MSM reporters more people were added for [...]

Washburn is a Winner

Filed under Wisconsin
Comments Off

Washburn’s World is a great new Wisconsin weblog find. (Thanks, Kevin.) Through his wizbang mathematical analysis of Milwaukee voter fraud John concludes John Kerry loses about 3000 votes. That’s more than 25% of his total ballot victory in Wisconsin. He asks, “What are the ballot box stuffing numbers are in Madison, Kenosha, Racine and Green [...]

Minor Emergency

One of my sister’s greyhounds got out of the house–first time this ever happened. To say she was upset is an understatement. The dog’s been found and everything’s alright.
UPDATE: The pooch is safe and sound.

More Details on Naked Man

Filed under Wisconsin

We have more details on the Kenosha naked man shot to death yesterday morning. He was 300 pounds. His size may explain why Officer David Monson shot him nine times. What still isn’t understood is why Sgt. Ron Bartholomew didn’t use the taser–not a stun gun as previously reported–on the man.
“Kenosha Police Kill Naked Man [...]

Better Late than Never

The Atlanta federal appeals court is thinking about allowing an emergency hearing. The one-sentence order states, “The Appellant’s emergency motion for leave to file out of time is granted.” Since the court shot down the Shindlers last week I think the chances of a hearing or them ordering the reinsertion of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube [...]
