NOW I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING: Murderers, rapists, and pedophiles are black. Disparate impact, baby.

Stupidity is a better word.

CLASS ACTS: three are, two aren't. Guess which is which.

COMING TO A VIRGINIA NEAR ME: "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, third time is enemy action."

Thanks to commenter Chuck Moss for the observation.

WHAT IT REALLY MEANS to be a 'labor bigwig'.

TO THE HORROR OF GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISTS, global cooling is here. That damned real world keeps refusing to cooperate with the alarmists.

"GOVERNMENT is now so huge, powerful and callous that citizens risk becoming proverbial serfs without the freedoms guaranteed by the Founding Fathers."

CICADAS: 17-year lawn aeration specialists.



And for your added interest, an albino cicada.



I've never seen one of them before.

CALIFORNIA BANS FIRE. Just not forest fire.

NEWT GINGRICH is On The Record: the IRS scandal, government bureaucracy, big government run amok, and more. Long, but well worth watching.

RON RADOSH: Obama’s Confused and Contradictory Defense Speech.

Speech translated: We'll do nothing in every way possible.

LIES, DAMNED LIES, AND STATISTICS:

[T]he primary basis for global-warming alarmism is unfounded. The Met Office has been making false claims about the significance of climatic changes to Parliament — as well as to the government, the media, and others — claims which have seriously affected both policies and opinions. When questioned about those claims in Parliament, the Met Office did everything feasible to avoid telling the truth.

The title is explained in the text.

TO THE SLAUGHTER: British lions come up lambs in Woolwich. That's the problem with statism; the populace is encouraged -- no, coerced -- into passivism.

DIVERSITY: We are of almost every race and gender, and we think exactly alike.

DOES SEAWATER cause stupidity?

A FINAL MEMORIAL DAY THOUGHT:

All those people whose sacrifices we celebrate on Memorial Day are watching us, not to mention the extraordinary Mr. Franklin, who famously challenged us after the Constitutional Convention with the words “A republic — if you can keep it.”

It’s Memorial Day. Let’s have a few burgers and beers, in the cold or the sunshine, and then get a move on. With the Benghazi lies, the blatant misuse of our Internal Revenue Service for political goals, and the chilling suppression of freedom of the press, we can do no less. In fact, we have no choice, if we want to keep it.

HO-HUM. Just another gun manufacturer leaving Connecticut.

MICHELLE MALKIN: Honoring the fallen.

SILENCE AND RESPECT. Read the comments.

OOPS! Anthony Weiner’s campaign website accidentally features the Pittsburgh skyline.

Competence. It's what Democrat campaigns are made of....

ROLLING THUNDER 2013:











Yesterday's ride seemed ... well, subdued compared to the last time we attended in 2010. While the ride certainly lasted several hours, it seemed to us that there were fewer motorcycles, and fewer riders. In 2010 it seemed that nearly every motorcycle capable of carrying two riders did carry two riders; this year, it appeared the majority of riders were solo. Pity.

It's also striking that President Obama was not here. While he was in Oklahoma witnessing the tornado disaster (a good thing), I think he had his priorities reversed.
