True Grit remake. Oh god, no.

True-Grit

It’s coming. 

The Coen brothers have apparently decided to move on from the mostly incomprehensible Cormac McCarthy to American icons. 

I’ve heard about this for a while, but I’m just now starting to hear some names trickle out, and it’s got me in a cold sweat. 

Jeff Bridges as Rooster.  Yes, that’s right.  The Dude with an eyepatch [...]

Ray Stevens doesn't seem to like ObamaCare

raystevens01

From YouTube. 

It looks like it was posted back in the early part of December, but I’m just seeing this now, thanks to an email and link to the Ace of Spades Over Night Thread. 

Here we’ve got Ray Stevens in various attire getting his dander up about suffocating old people thanks to our soon-to-be new health [...]

The slow unraveling of Big Science

scientist_430

In one of our recent posts this year, we mentioned that one of the biggest–and best–things to come out of 2009 has been the absolute *ahem*meltdown of GLOBAL WARMING.  With the ClimateGate scandal, cooler temperatures, more moderate weather conditions, public opinion eroding, 2009 has been a disaster for leftists trying to hide their socialist agenda [...]

Give us your tired, your poor, your HIV infected....

statue_liberty6

This has been discussed for quite a while, and it has of course been controversial ever since its implementation, but thank goodness we’ve finally gotten around to lifting the ban on HIV infected tourists. 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together announced the [...]

Obama frets about Yemen’s economy during radio address

yemen

In his weekly radio address, Obama talked about the Christmas Day terrorist attempt aboard Northwest Flight 253. 

An al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen apparently ordered the Christmas Day plot against a U.S. airliner, training and arming the 23-year-old Nigerian man accused in the failed bombing, President Barack Obama said Saturday.

In the address, the [...]

2009: The year the wheels came off GLOBAL WARMING

Wheels coming off

A lot of bad things happened in 2009.  We got Obama.  The economy took a nose-dive.  The best health care system on earth is being obliterated.  The Bears missed the playoffs… again.

But if there’s one good nugget you can take from such a miserable year, it’s that finally, after decades of being the biggest naked [...]

The Gitmo shell-game continues

soldierfield01

We dropped a few on Palau. 

Shipped some to New York. 

How about if you flatlanders in Illinois get ready for your share now, too? 

The Land of Lincoln may still be licking its wounds–and certain real estate transactions–over Chicago’s losing the Olympics to Rio, but the Obama Administration has delivered up a small consolation prize: the state’s [...]

The absolute scariest thing I’ve seen in a very long time…

nuke01

You’ve gotta’ hand it to the libs…  they play hardball.  When they step out on to the field, it’s no-nonsense, winner-take-all.  They don’t sweat things like your freedom, or the democratic process that’s served us well for the past, oh, two hundred or so years.  At least not if any of these things are between [...]

The fun of government micromanagement

Cash for Clunkers

And by fun, I don’t mean, “Ha ha” fun, I mean more like kick you in your crotch, steal your money and burn it in your face fun.

Numbers continue to roll in on the effectiveness of our government’s “Cash for Clunkers” program. 

You know, that program that was going to jump-start our crawling economy.  As we [...]

I’ll take unemployed freshman senators for $500, Alex

Kool-AidMan

 

In an interesting clip from YouTube, via Hot Air, freshman senator Michael Bennet tells his constituents where they can shove it with one easy word. 

“Yes.”

So, Jeopardy-style, what’s the question for this answer?

“If every piece of evidence tells you if you support that bill, you will lose your job… would you cast the vote and lose your [...]
