Well, thank goodness. I couldn’t be happier with a year – and it hasn’t really begun yet. But like so many, I’m looking forward to November, with a weather eye on the upcoming primaries. Rumor has it Perry and Gingrich will be able to squeeze onto the Virginia ballot. Don’t know if that’s true, but if wishes were horses Newt or Rick would take Richmond.

I never, ever make resolutions. Or don’t remember doing so. Same thing. But this year, my spirits are high even without the aid of alcohol, so…

Take one picture a day. I’ve been a such a lazy photographer lately, maybe that one will get me rolling again.
NOT be a human shield for Kim Jong Un. He’s recruiting, but the perks are… death. Those people are just crazy.
Blog more.

It’s a pretty short list. Not saying my life is perfect or I don’t have flaws to work on, but that stuff is more behind the scenes, so to speak. I erased #4; that was just ridiculous. For example, do you want to hear about my resolution to finish a crochet blanket? Me either. Or the wish to see Ireland? That’s not even a resolution.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe year. Hold your loved ones close and whisper those sweet words they’re longing to hear… “New President”.

New Level of Stupid

The same man who thought that Guam might “tip over”…

…believes that Fast and Furious is a product of the NRA and the Tea Party!

It’s not often someone brings Anderson Cooper to the brink of incredulity, but Hank evidently has a gift for it. Almost unbelievable.

Filched from Pat Dollard.

Fast and Furious was a vehicle for gun control.
From ConservativeByte:

Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.

In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the “big fish.” But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called “gunwalking,” and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Just before all of this, the obama administration had tried to make the case for gun control by stating that violence in Mexico was due to “irresponsible gun dealers” here in the U.S. The problem was, they couldn’t find any, so what did they do?
They invented them and allowed the guns to be lost.

Then it blew up in their faces.

A truly impeachable offense and yes, a new level of stupid.

This, as Allahpundit puts it, is a video knee to the groin.

I’m trying to think: Is there any other actor in Hollywood whose scorn would sting more than this guy’s? Being demagogued by a halfwit celebrity is normally a badge of honor — just ask the boss emeritus — but … I really like Morgan Freeman, notwithstanding his alleged freaky-deakiness. I don’t know what’s more disappointing, his paint-by-numbers racial reductionism or the fact that his argument about special conservative animus towards Obama vis-a-vis Bill Clinton is so stupid that even Piers Morgan feels obliged to rebut it.

Really? We hear this sort of crap -and worse- from Malik Shabazz, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and even Rep. Cleaver, the head of the Congressional Black Caucus. We get it from neighbors and friends.. and family. But Morgan Freeman? I thought he was better than that, more thoughtful, more logical.

And now he’s just ruined every role he ever played to exquisite perfection… for me, at least. Guess I shouldn’t have been surprised, but this felt personal.

Obama Administration to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concerns

Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government’s latest attempt to protect the Earth’s atmosphere.

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday patients who use the epinephrine inhalers to treat mild asthma will need to switch by Dec. 31 to other types that do not contain chlorofluorocarbons, an aerosol substance once found in a variety of spray products.

The action is part of an agreement signed by the U.S. and other nations to stop using substances that deplete the ozone layer, a region in the atmosphere that helps block harmful ultraviolet rays from the Sun.

But the switch to a greener inhaler will cost consumers more. Epinephrine inhalers are available via online retailers for around $20, whereas the alternatives, which contain the drug albuterol, range from $30 to $60.
