I'm thankful it warmed up a bit out there;

This I'm mixed about:
Colorado state Sen. Evie Hudak (D), who was facing a potential recall election over her vote in favor of stricter gun control laws, will resign Wednesday, Denver television station KDVR reported.

Hudak's decision assured that Democrats would hold onto their one-vote majority in the state Senate, according to the TV station, with a Democratic committee being allowed to pick her replacement.
"Evie, we know you want to stay in that taxpayer-supplied office, but if you lose this recall the Republicans will have a majority!  So resign before you cause more problems.  And this way we'll claim it didn't have anything to do with our anti-gun laws."
Basically, they'll do anything to keep control of the Senate; lots of room under that bus, after all.
(Why no, I don't have anything better to do right at the moment)

Obama & Co. want you to screw with Thanksgiving dinner by arguing for Obamacare; MAIG wants in on that 'piss off the whole family' idea.


"Illegal aliens?  They're among my best voters!"


CDR Salamander on the current "How screwed are we?"  One of them, anyway; this one administration ignorance of how the military works.
Really, you could call a lot of this 'ignorance turned to stupidity', because ignorance is fixable by learning; refusing to deal with that new knowledge, that's stupid.


A virus or control signal using computer speakers and mikes to spread itself with no wireless or hard data connection between the machines.  Damn.


Asia is on the cusp of a full-blown arms race. The escalating clash between China and almost all its neighbours in the Pacific has reached a threshold. All other economic issues at this point are becoming secondary.
...
Besides, Beijing has just watched the US throw its long-time ally Saudi Arabia under a bus over Iran. It has watched Moscow score an alleged victory over Washington in Syria. You and I may think it is an error to infer too much US weakness from these incidents, but that is irrelevant. Beijing seems to be drawing its own conclusions.


If Bush had done this... well, you know the drill.


Former CO Senate leader John Morse: bitter, nasty little bastard, isn't he?


Slate wets its panties again: five guns and a little over 100 rounds = 'arsenal'.
They'd have crapped and wet simultaneously if they'd seen what people brought to Schutenfest.


Finally, a reminder of just how truly screwy the islamists are:
The Egyptian newspaper Al Masry Al Youm summarized some of the Al Azhar study's main findings and assertions on November 15 in a article entitled (in translation), "Muslim Brotherhood fatwas: A woman swimming is an 'adulteress' and touching bananas is 'forbidden.'" 

According to the report, "fatwas issued by both groups [Brotherhood and Salafis] regard women as strange creatures created solely for sex. They considered the voices of women, their looks and presence outside the walls of their homes an 'offence.' Some went as far as to consider women as a whole 'offensive.'"

Well, such a challenge cannot be passed up: as my contribution to 'Offend an Islamist', I offer the following a little ways below:
