Oblivion

Published by rightwingprof under Conservatism

I’m trying to imagine the meeting of journalists here. Bear with me.
“We’ve got a problem. Our circulations have been dropping as fast as our stocks. What should we do to get back readers?”
“I know! I know!”
“What?”
“We’ll do a news special about what ignorant, in-bred, bigoted morons conservatives are!”
“That’s a great idea!”
Remember back in April when […]

Dinner Tonight

Published by rightwingprof under Food

We moved from a house about ten miles out of town in the country in Indiana. You know, no neighbors really, just the people who live down the road. Needless to say, no trick-or-treaters.
We now live up on a mountain ridge, in the “furthest out” neighborhood. It’s far from huge. The exurbs, I think you’d […]

Why Wait A Week

Published by rightwingprof under Wackjobs

When you can go off the deep end looney-tunes now? DU: GOD DAMN THEM ALL: THEY ARE STEALING IT NOW! And of course there’s all the predictable nonsense about Diebold, electronic voting machines, etc., like this:
The problem is, voting machines make it possible to fraud an entire election.
Problem is, some conservatives are jumping on the […]

You’d think they’d be all over this (hat tip to Pennsylvanian in Exile):
A former army officer from El Salvador who was convicted of taking part in the 1989 massacre of six Jesuit priests and two other people during that country’s civil war was arrested in the United States and faces deportation, authorities said Wednesday.

Reason #4032 To Nuke California

Published by rightwingprof under Conservatism, Wackjobs

Ali Bubba has this rather disturbing news item from Alabama:
Albertville, Ala. — Police say a Marshall County teen raped his mother to get revenge on his brother.
Police say 19-year-old Gary Helms, Jr., raped his 45-year-old mother this past weekend at Willow Terrace Trailer Park on Doyle Drive in Albertville. …
“From what we understand the rape […]

Weighted House Scores

Published by rightwingprof under Conservatism

Some time ago, I calculated the mean GOA scores for several states, but as much of a pain in the ass as it was, and as little time as I had, I didn’t do them all. AlphaPatriot picked up the slack, and calculated the means for all the states (fortunately, he made the Excel file […]

So now that you’ve made that homemade beef stock, what are you going to do with it?
Beef stew, of course!
This is a basic recipe. Feel free to substitute red wine or even beer for part of the stock, though to keep it beef stew, at least half the liquid should be beef stock. Some like […]

Halloween Classic Films

It’s 44 and spitting snow here. How? I have no idea.
1931 was a great year for films — particularly spooky films. And three stand out as classics. Two have been remade, but no remake has touched the original; the third has never been remade (perhaps because it’s a German film), which of course is … […]

PC Conservatism

Published by rightwingprof under Conservatism

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve noticed the bloggers in the dextrosphere writing self-righteously about being “offended” or “inappropriate content” every time Ann Coulter comes out with a column. Or more recently, when these bloggers got their information from the media instead of the transcript and (sorry, can’t help myself) rushed to condemn […]

Stock Basics

Published by rightwingprof under Food

Let’s talk stock.
I’m amazed by how few people I know make homemade stock, particularly when it’s so simple, and when the difference in quality between homemade and store bought is so … well, I can’t think of a word that adequately describes the scope of that difference.
Sorry, but no, that canned chicken broth is not […]

Anybody Else Watching Dexter?

Published by rightwingprof under TV/Movies

That new show on Showtime?
It’s an … well, it’s an intriguing concept. Dexter, the main character, was adopted as a kid by a policeman’s family. Something (we don’t know what yet) violent had happened in Dexter’s original home, and his policeman father saw that Dexter was a serial-killer-to-be. So policeman father taught Dexter how to […]

Lost  Is Losing Me

Published by rightwingprof under Lost

We haven’t watched this week’s episode yet — largely because we saw the preview from last week’s episode.
I have a very strong, very negative, visceral reaction to the Others. I get the feeling the writers want me to sympathize with them, even as they murder, kidnap, and treat their captives — major characters in the […]

Weird Spam

Published by rightwingprof under Odds 'n Ends

I thought the whole point of spam was to drive traffic, usually to some kind of business or scam site. That, I understand; I don’t like it, but I understand it.
What I don’t understand is meaningless spam, with no links in it at all. Just babble. Like this:
“Get wood for fire,” he commanded. The white […]

Just So Ya Know

There are these creatures in the house called dogs:

And when they’re not napping or eating, they want to be petted. When they want to be petted, they tend to climb up on top of the keyboard, effectively preventing one from blogging. Sometimes they nap on top of the keyboard.

King Harry’s Speech

Published by rightwingprof under TV/Movies

I’m not a big fan of Kenneth Branagh’s movies — except for Henry V, one of the greatest films of the last thirty years, and an exemplary performance from Branagh as King Harry. If you’ve never seen it, first watch Harry’s speech before the Battle of Agincourt, then order it from Amazon by clicking the […]

Schadenfreude!

Published by rightwingprof under Conservatism, GWOT

Courtesy of Hot Air, I found these fascinating CNN polls — not, mind, that I take them any more seriously than any other poll, less, since I see nothing about margin of error, sample size, or anything else, but liberals are so fond of trumpeting about polls I can’t help but get a kick out […]

Is He Running For President?

Published by rightwingprof under Conservatism

Jay Tea fondly remembers NH Governor Meldrim Thomson:
Thomson was a Pennsyvanian who moved to New Hampshire and allied himself with the publisher of our only state-wide newspaper, and rode that friendship into three terms in the governor’s office. “Mel” was a true character.

When a Massachusetts driver blew past his state-trooper-driven car, Thomson ordered the […]

591 Years Ago Yesterday

In 1415, King Henry V of England defeated King Charles IV of France at the famous Battle of Agincourt. One of Shakespeare’s most memorable passages (and that’s saying a great deal) is Henry’s speech before the battle, from Henry V, one of Shakespeare’s two greatest history plays.
