…and her unmentionables.
It’s kind of amazing that someone so intertwined with radical Islam and sharia is married to a Jew.

“I’m Not Voting For Weiner”
“I feel like a gullible jackass.”
Well, you should. Because you are. It’s an occupational hazard of being a Democrat.
Stand Your Ground Laws
Detroit’s future may depend on them.
[Update a few minuts later]
The single most important lesson gun owners should learn from the George Zimmerman case:
Part of the ethos of responsible concealed weapons permit holders is to avoid getting into dicey situations whenever possible. We should remain aware of our surroundings at all times. We should avoid getting into unnecessary conflicts. If conflicts arise, we should attempt to defuse rather than escalate them. If some jerk gets angry because he thinks we stole his spot in the grocery store parking lot, we should back down or remove ourselves from the situation — precisely because we recognize the deadly consequences if things escalate out of control.
In particular, we must not seek out confrontations counting on our handgun to bail us out of trouble. Anyone exercising his right to carry a firearm for self-defense has corresponding responsibility to exert greater — not lesser — control over his emotions.
I’ve never been a big fan of Zimmerman, or his behavior. I’ve just been appalled by all the false race-baiting narratives that the left and the media (if that’s not redundant) have come up with to demonize him and confer childhood and sainthood on the young thug Trayvon Martin.
The Vegan Diet
…almost kills a kitten.
It’s not good for people, either, but it’s a lot worse for a carnivore.
Gluten Intolerance
What if it’s all in your head? I think the same may be true for MSG.
Hyphens
Is the Internet killing them? This is the problem:
“People are not confident about using hyphens anymore, they’re not really sure what they are for,” Shorter OED editor Angus Stevenson told Reuters at the time.
It’s part of the continuing breakdown of the educational system. Hyphens are important, primarily for disambiguation of modifiers. There is a difference between a light brown suitcase and a light-brown suitcase. The former is a brown suitcase that doesn’t weigh much, and the latter is a suitcase (of unknown weight) that is light brown. It’s that simple.
Gun Control
Why gun owners are right to fight it:
The anti-gun crowd doesn’t want “compromise.” They want confiscation and control.
Exactly right. When they tell you they don’t want to take your guns away, they’re lying. In order to take your guns away.
Stand-Your-Ground Laws
As Glenn says, Hollywood dumbasses.
In addition to his points, a) there’s nothing wrong with stand-your-ground laws and b) the Zimmerman case had nothing to do with stand your ground.
These morons just can’t stand the notion that people should be able to defend themselves.

Hey, remember when Barack Obama supported stand-your-ground laws? Well, neither does he. To repeat: dumbasses.
[Update a while later]
OK, you’ll be as unsurprised as I am to learn that John McCain has decided to become one of the dumbasses.
Evoloterra
Clark Lindsey and his wife performed the ceremony with some friends, and has a review. Our experience has been that people who are not generally into space enjoy it quite a bit, if you can get them to do it.
Lea Thompson
OK, so what am I missing? Can anyone explain it to me other than the pathetic geeks? (Sorry, the discussion is in comments, though the movie review is about as entertaining as one might expect from DDay).
