by Ikonoclast | 1:33 pm, September 14, 2009

Some (Joe) Friday funnies – even if it’s not on Friday. Sergeant Friday tells a delinquent (President) that it’s not right to steal, no matter how “noble” the cause: Just the facts, Ma’am – just the facts.

Sunday Funnies: Barack Obama – Superhero?

by Ikonoclast | 6:14 am, June 21, 2009

The sad thing is that some of the cult of the Messiah don’t realize that this is satire…  Watch the video:

Ken Buck: Pathetically Perpetrating PC Pandering

by Ikonoclast | 11:00 am, April 27, 2009

Coinciding with his official entry into the 2010 U.S. Senate race, Ken Buck also produced a Guest Commentary piece in the Sunday Denver Post, with the obvious intent of raising his name recognition and profile for a statewide campaign, particularly in the metro Denver area (heart of the Post’s circulation) where he is less known. The [...]

Homeland Security “Right-Wing Extremist” Report Rankles

by Ikonoclast | 1:29 am, April 18, 2009

By now, most readers have heard of  Janet Napolitano’s Homeland Security Department “Right-Wing Extremism” report, which defined “right-wing extremists” so broadly that about half the population of the United States would qualify: Respecting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?  You qualify as a “right-wing extremist” for observing: 10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to [...]

“Dread Pirate Ritter” and the Scurvy Senate raid Pinnacol

by Ikonoclast | 12:10 am, April 15, 2009

Piracy has been very much in the news of late, with the much-publicized hijacking of an American-flagged ship (the Maersk Alabama) and subsequent rescue of the heroic captain (who had volunteered to be the sole hostage in order to free his crew) by Navy Special Warfare operators (my most heartfelt and solemn thanks and congratulations [...]

YouTube parody – “Here’s to you, Mr. Jefferson”

by Ikonoclast | 11:00 am, April 4, 2009

Just a quick diversion from the daily grind – an entertaining parody to the tune of “Mrs. Robinson” bemoaning the loss of our principles, freedoms, and liberties at the hands of the current administration and Congress…

Ward Churchill and the racist roots of academic tenure

by Ikonoclast | 11:37 pm, April 2, 2009

Well, the verdict is in – and although I’m not surprised, I am disappointed that a jury of theoretically rational adults (yes, 19 is an adult) found that he was “fired over protected free speech.”  Although most of the initial commentary has focused on the $1 award for damages – “a slap in the face” for [...]

South Park offers best illustration of Economy Crash yet

by Ikonoclast | 12:43 am, March 31, 2009

The most recent episode (original air date: 25 March 2009) of the iconic television comedy South Park brilliantly skewers the current financial crash and economic meltdown – and the absurd reactions of much of the public (and even more so the absurdity of the Obama government policy measures). The episode brilliantly lampoons bank failures, individual [...]

European Union president calls Obama’s stimulus package “road to hell”

by Ikonoclast | 6:56 pm, March 25, 2009

[Update: EU President Topolanek cites "Highway to Hell" as inspiration for his choice of wording in speech after attending AC/DC concert] SNAP! Dateline Brussels – yes, Brussels, home to one of the largest collections of statist bureaucrats on the planet – where the term “Eurosclerose” was coined to describe the perpetual economic malaise fostered by [...]

“The Magic Bus” – or, how DID those protesters appear at AIG homes?

by Ikonoclast | 12:42 am, March 25, 2009

Amid the many lowlights of the frenzied reaction to the “news” that insurance giant AIG, recipient of some $170 billion in bailout money, paid out some $165 million (i.e. less than 1% of the bailout) in bonuses to several employees was a particularly pathetically populist pandering publicity stunt this last weekend (Saturday, March 22nd).  According [...]
