SEMPER FI, MAC

No, not a reference to the lead character in CSI:NY (much as I revere him), but the name of a website selling all sorts of little military pins and whatnot, of which I have ordered quite a few recently, via my good friend Ebay.

Items arrived today with the Mac's business card, which was both entertaining and informative.  As follows:

AUTHOR, LECTURER, TRAVELER, BUM, PHILANTHROPIST, OCCASIONAL HERO & U.S. MARINE EXTRAORDINAIRE

Wars Fought (Police Actions Too), Tigers Tamed, Revolutions Started, Bars Emptied, Assassinations Plotted, Computers Verified, Maggots Organized, Pessimists Converted, Presidential Advisor/Scapegoat

He lives in California, and he sells cool stuff.  I got me some Mama Fruit Salad.

Not my favorite woman, but

SOMETIMES ANN COULTER GETS IT RIGHT


...and teaches history at the same time.

This time it's about the history of the right to bear arms -- brought to mind in light of the Martin/Zimmerman case, although not exactly related to it. Worth a read.

AMEN, AMEN, I SAY TO YOU.



Illinois Bishop Daniel Jenky was just doing a little men's retreat. But he seems to have found for himself a voice crying in the wilderness. We salute you.

Interestingly, this video is provided by "Right Wing Watch" a "project" of People for the American Way . They bring this recording to the public's attention-- like it's a bad thing!!!! Are you kidding?

CANADA RISES TO A NEW PINNACLE OF FAME:

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT'S MANDATED PRO-HOMOSEXUALIST
SCHOOL PROPAGANDA PROGRAM
MAKES THE FRONT PAGE AT
BREITBART TV/BIG GOVERNMENT

Provincial tyrants do their mini-version of the U.S. HHS mandate, insofar as they dictate that Catholic institutions must violate their own moral teachings, no exceptions -- establish Gay-Straight Alliance clubs under the guise of "anti-bullying" initiatives, and celebrate "Pink Day" in the elementary schools, OR ELSE, BUB!

DO NOT MESS WITH ME, UNLESS YA WANT A KNUCKLE SANDWICH!


Pinnacle of Fame / Carbuncle of Shame
Whatever.

ARE CERTAIN WORDS CREEPING INTO YOUR CONVERSATION?

Well, that's just SWELL.


New York takes a momentary lead in the sprint with California to prove which is the crazier American coast: here's the list of banned words which should not be used in elementary schools lest we disturb the delicate bubble in which children ought to live. Now if we could just curb their teachers' Marxist propaganda reflex and their parents' penchant for multiple spouses/live-ins and their classmates' taste for oral sex and drugs, wow, that will be one super-duper bubble even Glenda the Good Witch couldn't match.



And by the way, Cincinnati,......."DINOSAUR !"

WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY WARN ME?
(part deux.......)


CANADA TO ELIMINATE
THE COPPER PENNY
AT THE END OF THIS YEAR





Wow. Another worthwhile Canadian initiative. I'll miss it. The brand new ones (costing 1.6 cents to produce) are so shiny and pretty. Oh well.







LET THE HOARDING BEGIN!
