Minute Men


There’s talk that the whackos concerned citizens who annoyed assisted the Border Patrol in Arizona now want provide the same service in Texas. Unlike Arizona, much of the land along the Texas border is private and there doesn’t seem to be much enthusiasm for permitting these groups to operate.

Given all of the Texas politicians who claim that this country is founded on Biblical principles, I wonder how they reconcile immigration policy with Leviticus 24:22 – “Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your G-d.”

Actually, that chapter and verse seems to contradict a lot of laws seeking to treat others differently. Who knew the Levites were liberals?

skippy still need hits


The marsupial master of miniscule needs about 6000 hits per day to accomplish his goal of a megahit on his third blogiversary¹.

He has been slowed by the connection problems of Jillian of the The Snarky Cat, who provides the occasional Friday kangaroo blogging.

If you’re sitting there bored, hit the link to skippy the bush kangaroo, and help him out.

1. Jeralyn of TalkLeft coined that term.

A Public Service


Since it’s apparent that bureaucrats know nothing about the evolution of the media in this country and are intellectually incapable of understanding the parallel of the development of the printing press and the Internet, I’ve been renaming a few things.

About the only things I haven’t changed slightly are the “Permanent Link” and the “Trackback”, as they have no real counterpart in the printing world.

I started the project with sarcastic intent, but continued when it occurred to me that new readers [if I get any new readers who aren’t related by blood or marriage] might be more comfortable with familiar terminology.

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream


Publius at Legal Fiction channels “Billy the Bard” to produce: Sweet Dreams, Karl.

I would have channeled Terry Pratchett and featured Susan Death on Binky giving the Death of Rats a lift. [Squeak? SQUEAK!snrf, snrf, snrf]

[Edit: Yes, my title is from Hamlet, which is not the same work used in the post. At least I didn’t use “the Scottish play”.]
