Creepy

Coming to a WalMart telescreen near you, from the Ministry of Homeland Security:

Don’t forget, as the video says, to contact the WalMart manager if the local PD or sheriff can’t be reached immediately.

No word on who will be presenting the Two Minutes Hate, which doubtlessly will be appearing soon.

TSA Knee-Jerkage

Following the Christmas Day Johnson-lighting horror, the TSA is pulling out all the stops to ensure our safety in the skies:

I applaud the efforts and vigilance of our public servants.

UPDATE: From what I’ve seen since, I think they aspire to be our pubic servants.

Game, Set, and Match

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by
legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person
receives without working for, another person must work for
without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody
anything that the government does not first take from
somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they
do not have to work because the other half is going to
take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea
that it does no good to work because somebody else is going
to get what they work for, that my friend, is about the end of
a nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.1

Or more succinctly:

Put your head between your knees.
Then kiss your ass goodbye.

We have fallen, without a shot being fired.

Dedicated to SC Gov Mark Sanford

I agree with many of Mark Sanford’s views. By observation, I see that the Lubricated Fly Syndrome crosses party lines, so much so that I think it’s nearly a requirement for politicians to be unfaithful, whether with another woman, another man, or occasionally, an intern.

I don’t agree with the unfaithfulness; it’s usually the events surrounding it that are troublesome; getting arrested in airport bathrooms, lying under oath, and abandoning one’s elected post for a week all qualify.

So, Mark, I’ll be searching for a new representative for limited government and individual liberties. For you, this song by the original artist.

So long, dumbass.

NASCAR announces tree planting program at tracks – Trees to be planted for each green flag at Cup races

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing announced “NASCAR Green Clean Air” — a program to help capture the carbon emissions produced by racing. Under a pilot program that will expand significantly next year, NASCAR will plant 10 new trees for each green flag that drops during Cup Series events.

Paint it White

The ObamaNator’s Minister of Energy is advocating painting stuff white to reduce “global warming.” The article points out that

Pale surfaces reflect up to 80 per cent of the sunlight that falls on them, compared with about 20 per cent for dark ones, which is why roofs and walls in hot countries are often whitewashed.

All makes sense to me. As we degenerate into a third-world backwater, we may as well look the part.
