OK ok … a little late but better than not, eh?

1. After 5 decades … that’s likely an import, eh?
2. Mr Obama said regarding the Zimmerman trial …. “we are a nation of laws” , which I guess falls under the “do as I say not as I do” category.
3. Oh, and the left (ignoring the fact that “stand your ground” was actually not part of the Zimmerman defense) thinks that this case is similar to the Zimmerman one … except that it isn’t apparently. The only actual parallel might be that this case and the Zimmerman one where both non-white on non-white violence.
4. One more on the above … and seriously … if point 8 is a problem then we don’t need a new justice system, we need a new party representing the left-of-the-aisle.
5. Improvements when your soldiers can innovate.
6. Arwen and the Virgin.
7. Overseas remarks on Mr Morsi and his ousting (Hat Tip).
8. Irony and the EPA.
9. For the silver screen viewer.
10. When imminent domain (or the equivalent in China) doesn’t work …
11. This might be related.
12. Wish I was there.
13. Character. Kinda Romans 5:3 ish, eh?
14. Big brother and the X-One.

OK. Back to it.

1. A counter example for the “there are no stupid questions” hypothesis.
2. A passing noted.
3. Academic bigotry on display.
4. Flaming taillights … somebody needs to make that a feature not a bug.
5. Advice for those doing civil patrols or community watch services.
6. Lewis Carroll and CEO publicity statements.
7. Chutzpah defined.

All about the continuing Zimmerman kerfuffle, post verdict.

1. You can be amused by Mr Obama’s upside down metaphor (stop the tide of gun violence) … which gets it exactly backwards. You don’t want to stop a tide when it’s going the way you want, and gun violence has been dropping for two decades, i.e., the tide is receding. Apparently Mr Obama is either unaware of that or wants more violence (more stupid or evil … pick one).
2. The Congo-Somali problem, that is that which gets press isn’t the matters which more deserve the same.
3. Grist for the discussion.
4. What would have happened if? Well, you wouldn’t have the President trying to influence the case to the prosecution, nor the State of Florida switching to one of their top prosecutor teams, and so on.
5. And when what you know about Public defenders comes from Law and Order … keep quiet.
6. Some technical notes on self defense law.

OK then.

1. Better late than never (… is that Shakespeare too?).

5. A lot more impressive 3d printing project than crappy single shot pistols.
6. Sorry, I’d agree most of the time it isn’t a disease.
7. Virtue.
8. Not getting the dilemma here.
9. Failure modes will be so incredibly impressive … which is just one more reason to build it, eh?
10. Pride of place is a common trait, lots of southerners have conflicted feelings about the Civil War. So what?
11. I’ll bet Mr Begin had no public criticism of Ms Clinton’s Senate run. Hmm.
12. Faith, prison and healing.
13. A progression, which follows alongside a reduction in gun violence nationwide during the same period.
14. The world and abortion.
15. A cool toy.
16. Yikes or idiots abounding.

Good morning.

1. (said in growly voice) “Grrr… killn’s too good fer em“
2. Variants of bike.
3. Kinda a straw man … nobody’s arguing against discrimination, just that there are unwarranted basis for the same, such as the left’s insistence that discrimination based on race is warranted (or their even less logical insistence that once one agrees that race/gender are a valid criteria at which point apparently the specifics of the criteria are the loci of their dispute, i.e., their religious beliefs are OK but yours are not).
4. Heh.
5. Hacking and damages.
6. Not an accident … so was it a green terrorist or a for-the-pipeline terrorist? Which dya think?
7. Well, yes it was. So? All those drone attacks on neutral nations are also acts of war. We do it all the time.
8. Murdering, uhm, princesses?
9. Mr Obama and Being There.
10. “every child is subject” … huh? Doesn’t that sentence imply the speaker thinks every child has been abused? And seriously, “gosh, let’s troll the nearby trailer park for our nanny.” I realize former Presidents liked to troll trailer parks for date prospects but really … the things people do to avoid raising their own children.

G’day
