Well, This Sucks.
How come no one
told me we were
losing another bisexual patriot?
She'll be back, though; no one stays away from blogging forever. They always re-emerge, once they've caught the bug.
Joan C, let me know when you resurface. I adore you.

The Ron Paul Girl
Hackbarth calls her
"hot, but misguided." Yup. But she's also a clever marketer—both for her own short films and for other people's products. I think she'll still be around after Ron Paul's career has gone gently into that good night.
I kind of liked this short film. Beyond the long hair and the amazing body, she knows what she's doing as a filmmaker.
And she's not afraid to wear skimpy clothing, so how can her website be anything but a force for good?

Sure. It's all fun until her eyes start spinning like pinwheels.

So what you're saying is, you'd hit it if she wore shades . . .?
I'm drinking Citadelle, right now. Thought you'd like to know.

Look: the Libertarians (big "L") are halfway there. We just need to enhance their seratonin levels and then coax them back to reality.

As a man/nerd/geek, the shades are optional. I wouldn't notice until I lost everything. Even then I would repeat the same mistake in a heartbeat.
Think my eyes synchronize with hers so I don't notice? Or does the "lower brain" perform filtering magic? Doesn't matter--same result.
And, yes, I did notice. Citadelle goes nicely with what you are wearing. Or not wearing. Or writing for that matter. Hard to stay on topic since that lower brain was awakened. Sorry. It's tough to be a man. A man without sense, self-control, social graces, etc., anyway.
It's amazing how many people have been touched by Ron Paul. Or were they just "touched" to begin with?

I'm afraid it was black leggings and a long-sleeved flannel shirt. Oh!--and the socks you gave me. My feet still get cold at night . . . wool socks are a basic around here.

And they are yummy, warm, soft and nice. My very favorite socks. I'm so glad I kept them--I only had to wash them in warm water once to shrink them down properly.

There is a reason fire hates us--the accreted residue of many years of U.S. foreign policies. These policies are unknown to most Americans. They form only minor footnotes in U.S. history. But they are the chapter titles of the histories of other oxygen-burners where they have had enormous consequences. America's strength has made it a sort of Gulliver in world affairs: By wiggling its toes it can, often inadvertently, break the arm of a Lilliputian. And put out fires. Who extinguished the burning oilwell fires ignited by Sadam Hussein's Iraqi troops retreating from Kuwait? The fingerprints of the US and Dick Cheney, Halliburton, the Bushes, and Paul N. "Red" Adair are all over it! It's all about the oxygen baby. . . don't you ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

I Don't Believe It.
Some
sites are suggesting that there are 110,647 blogs out there that are almost as good as mine, and are slightly more well-trafficked.
I refuse to believe it.
And even if I did believe it—well, since when is the blogosphere some sort of popularity contest?
Oh. Wait . . .

Since there are over 60 million blogs worldwide according to recent estimates (Blog Herald) , being in the top one-percent should make you happy.

Any truth to the rumor that Microsoft and Google are in a bidding war to purchase a 16% interest in your blog? I bet if Apple sent you a nice selection of their current products they'd have a shot too.

I always want more; it's kind of a trademark.

Ok two or more times at least. Yeah I visit, I just don't always scroll.

It Goes Without Saying . . .
that we should be keeping Chris Muir's family in our prayers.
I'll light a candle for his sister. My Protestant brethren will want to concentrate on praying that the rest of the clan will have strength and gain comfort. (My agnostic friends will want to send warm, fuzzy vibes—or think Really Good Thoughts. For all we know, God listens to these things just as much as conventional prayers. Maybe more.)
Thank you, Chris. We are all so sorry, and wish you the best. Take as much time off as you need: we'll be sending our love.

C. S. Lewis said that when you truly mean well, God takes you to mean better than you knew; but not for long.
In any event, I hope things work out, and that God grant Chris the strength to bear whatever He has appointed for him.

Prayers go out for Chris and his beloved sister! Words can never suffice at times like these.

Dont take prayer for granted. It says in James 5:16b, "that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
How is God going to hear a prayer from an agnostic, if they don't have a personal relationship with Him?

The weather was very predictable--even the forecasters were calling this a week out. Now what if they would have moved the start time up to 2 AM Sunday on, say, Thursday. Think that might have helped? Think any of the 'names' wouldn't be in town? I did email that suggestion on Thursday. And talked to some people too. Got the old "it's like trying to change the start time of D-Day" routine. I bet a lot of soldiers wouldn't have minded changing landing sites for that, given that some of the beaches were experiencing light resistance.
Little minds trapped by their own can't-do attitude. Every once in a while, people should try dealing with reality.

Anything before dawn would have worked--Honolulu started before dawn.
"Light resistance." No one's asleep at the switch around HERE.

I'll tell the printer to change "light resistance" to "light resistance" for the home delivery version.
Must keep repeating..."There is NO truth to the rumor that your editor is trying to drive you crazy. No matter how short that trip might be."

I'm Here.
But I'm freakin' exhausted. It's raining clients—but not raining paid invoices. Not quite yet. However, the check that arrived last week (slightly ahead of schedule) is still keeping me going. I should get two more small ones in in the next few days.
After that, I'm in uncharted territory.
The financial uncertainty may help me decide whether I'm driving to Reno for CLC, or driving: I may not be able to afford actual plane fare.
Now would be a great time for my readers—all three of them—to hit my tip jar. (At least, those who aren't at the "platinum sponsor" level, like Darrell.) In return, I promise an exclusive scoop. (Not, um, the kind of scoop that one shares with the opposition . . . sorry. Long day.)

Here's a tip for fellow readers. . . Cancel all those subscriptions/purchases of all those things that support the Left--like Time, Newsweek, The NYT, WaPo, movie tickets, music CDs, alumnus support, your hometown newspapers, etc. and send the savings to LMA. Or part of it, at least. It's a win-win all around.
Or count your saving for all those RNC contributions you DIDN'T make.
Now that Baker Square is having $5.95 Pie Days, I'm pretty sure we'll see some more pie sex in the coming days. . . Ummm! P...I...E... Can't wait!

Make that $5.99 Pie Days. And California...no blueberry for you! You get boysenberry instead. AG must know why.
