Deep Thought

Misc

I bet water boarding would have produced the needed intel to prevent a Qatar diplomat from sneaking a smoke on an airplane.

Irresponsible

Politics

Rep. Steve King is trying to justify the attack on the IRS in a discussion with Think Progress: TP: Do you think this attack, this terrorist attack, was motivated at all by a lot of the anti-tax rhetoric that’s popular in America right now? KING: I think if we’d abolished the IRS back when I […]

Scott Brown Shows His Idiocy

National Security

Yesterday Scott Brown tried to justify Joseph Stack flying an airplane into the federal building in Austin by saying “no one likes paying taxes”. This all seems to play nicely with FOX declaring that this isn’t domestic terrorism. Yeah – who is weak on terrorism? Cue Dick Cheney in 3…2…..

Should Potential Gun Buyers Be Profiled?

National Security

When you buy a gun you may have a background check, depending on where you buy it from. Go to a local gun show and buy one from some fellow enthusiast there and chances are you won’t receive a background check, unless that person is registered as a federal dealer. That’s the extent of it. […]

Flight 1549

Misc

As most, I spent a lot of time yesterday watching the miracle that was flight 1549. Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot of the plane, is a hero to the end for his handling of the disaster at 3,000 feet.

Blame the Middle Easterners!

Misc

So we get an airplane and helicopter collide (other reports is that it was two airplanes) and crash today in Sharonville, Ohio – a subdivision just north of Cincinnati. The local news is taking eyewitness callers, and Channel 5 gets a doozy: Out of the numerous callers I have listened to, this is the only person that […]
