Tom Maguire (JustOneMinute), on Nov. 13:
Obama is off to Japan to commence his Asian adventure. The Japanese are neither brown-skinned nor Muslim nor poor, and they have not attacked us since Obama was born, so it will be interesting to see what Obama apologizes for.
Politico, on Nov. 15:
In a slap at President George W. Bush, Obama spoke of the importance of “multilateral organizations [that] can advance the security and prosperity of this region.”“I know that the United States has been disengaged from these organizations in recent years. So let me be clear: those days have passed,” Obama said during the first major address of a four-country Far East swing, which will continue from Japan to Singapore, China and South Korea.

Ferret pics!

They love to get in the litter container while we’re cleaning the cage. That’s Boris on the right and Benny on the left. Boris is confident. Benny is timid and kind of a loner, but he’s my sweet boy. You can see it in their faces.
Yes, it’s a inferior photo and yes, this post has limited appeal, but what do expect at 10:30 Sunday evening? Huh?

Dang, I haven’t posted in months yet Michael pressured me.
Eddiebear posted a video of a hot girl in a hot chair.
I can’t top that so I’ll go with the bucolic rural shtick.
I’m positive that Dave in Texas could hurt himself and others with this machine.

I remember seeing Close Encounters of the Third Kind for the first time and wondering where the heck they found that awesome formation. I had never heard of or seen a picture of Devil’s Tower before. It could have been anywhere on the planet, for all I knew.

UPDATE: Another awesome funny rock formation below the break.
Democrats: Freedom’s Nemesis November 11, 2009

I missed this last February, so I apologize if it’s old and something that has already been kicked around the conservative blogs. Some time ago I wrote a post called The Tightening Noose, in which I bemoaned the fact that both liberal and conservative governments act in ways to restrict freedom. That, naturally, leads to the question:
Which is worse? Which ideology leads to more loss of freedom?
Then today I ran across this study by George Mason University, which compiled scores from a number of factors (taxes & regulations affecting a variety of different areas) to come up with a freedom score for each state. And when they plotted that score against the percentage of Democratic voters in the 2004 Presidential election, here’s what they found:
Yup, as the % of Democratic voters becomes a majority, freedom plummets. Of course, that’s no surprise if you’ve been following the Obama administration’s (and Democratic Congress’) horrendous onslaught on freedom in the automotive, financial, health care, industry (via Cap & Trade), and transportation industries.
But enough teasing – I’m sure you’re wondering: “Which states are the most free?” So here, courtesy of George Mason U., you go:
For maximum freedom, you want to be in the upper right corner.
I’ll be processing your CO immigration requests for a limited time only. And always remember that I’m easily bribed.
