Here is yet another sign that we have stepped through the mirror, departing reality and entering a contradictory up-is-down wonderland similar to that experienced by a young Alice Liddell:
The concept of justice might once again mean something when this clown is safely behind bars, preferrably in a facility that provides padded cells. You can read the story here.
This guy's back (sorta)... rest up and prepare for a fat dosage of Skinny.
Right now I'm dealing with a boss that decided to go snowmobiling at the last snow of the year and break his ankle, wrist, etc., leaving him bedridden and me stranded with a large workload... but he'll be healed and back soon enough, so bear with me.
We also got a wonderful thing at my work going on right now called "data recovery" after watching 2 of our server's hardrives fail, so that's been a blast. I haven't even had access to my work email in weeks now. We've been taking care of business the old school way... actually meeting with and talking to people. Scary stuff.
I also need to pass out some slightly overdue digital cigars to ya'all in celebration of my newest addition to the family (yes... 4 girls later and I still haven't stopped procreating), this time in the form of a healthy baby boy named Wrigley (go CUBS!!). Now, if he'd just start sleeping a little more... zzz....
So this little stogie goes out to all my digital friends here at the BL Rag...
Enjoy!
Granted...
It's no Drew Estate ACID Cold Infusion Tea cigar (mmm.... delicious) which I've been handing out at a tear-jerking rate, but I hope it gets deemed a suitable substitute until we all meet someday and are capable of sharing my leftovers of the real thing...
... assuming there ARE any leftovers.

Donation for my vasectomy can be sent to my Pay Pal account. Here you go liberals... now's your chance to stop a man from raising even more future Conservatives.
In the meantime have a great weekend and let the celbratory trash talking commence!

Well, it was a bombing...and a suspect from Saudi Arabia is in custody. Here's a link to CNN, which surprisingly calls this a terror attack (rather than say, an incident of isolated random violence...).
So...the North Koreans have nukes and now we learn they may be capable of launching nuclear missiles. But we have nothing to worry about. After all, America's been running on smart power the last few years, and John Kerry is visiting South Korea for good measure...no doubt we are in good hands.
Yeah...riiiight. Cross your fingers, avoid the fallout, and have a nice weekend.

Permalink | tagged Open Thread It's no secret that North Korea hates us and has been working on nuclear technology they say that they intend using on us and their southern neighbors. Weak sanction policies and lip service have done absolutely nothing to curtail them...and now we're faced with this:
North Korea dramatically escalated its warlike rhetoric on Thursday, warning that it had authorised plans for nuclear strikes on targets in the United States.
"The moment of explosion is approaching fast," the North Korean military said, warning that war could break out "today or tomorrow".
"The merciless operation of our revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified," the statement said.
Sabre rattling, or cause for alarm?

Permalink | tagged Open Thread If the European financial debacle wasn't bad enough, now a decision has been made to save Cyprus' economy
by stealing the money of it's banks depositors.
Backed by euro zone finance ministers, the plan will wind down the largely state-owned Cyprus Popular Bank, known as Laiki, and shift deposits under 100,000 euros to the Bank of Cyprus to create a "good bank", leaving problems behind in, effectively, a "bad bank".
Deposits above 100,000 euros in both banks, which are not guaranteed by the state under EU law, will be frozen and used to resolve Laiki's debts and recapitalize the Bank of Cyprus, the island's biggest, through a deposit/equity conversion.
With the Obama administration's sweeping liberty depriving policies and America's deepening descent into debt and unprecendented social spending, how far are we behind them?
I know there's a lot going on in the world today but Im afraid I have nothing to post about. It's been a trying week and I've been waiting only for this...

Permalink | tagged Music, Open Thread Although the current Democrat President claims that he represents the common man against the nefarious
affluent, it appears that access to His Highness is only granted to the wealthy.
...four years later it is time to ask questions. The most transparent administration ever...
Since last weekend, Mr and Mrs Regular Citizen have been denied the access people used to be granted to tour the White House, purportedly because of the clampdown on federal spending since the "sequester" that imposed cuts across the board....And their cancellation is an austerity measure that saves a pittance, while more frivolous taxpayer funding for items like the White House dog walker continues..
Meanwhile, noble Americans can buy time with the president for a suggested donation of $500,000 to his new campaign group, Organising for Action.
Apparently, the 'Government FOR The People' is only interested in the 'people' that can grease their palms.
