India……. 8-year-old girl celebrating the day of Holi is shot by a Muslim

A few hundred kids and adults were ‘spraying colors’ in a joyous Hindu celebration. So of course, a Muslim “man” shot one of the kids for spraying him.

At least some of the crowd kicked his ass then turned him over to the cops.

Neither God nor any legitimate religion with human beings as members would remotely allow and laud the existence of an entire group of “people” who would do this to a child (or anyone else for that matter).

I need a drink.

Nothing like going around and killing religious zealots during the time of the Crusades or maybe lighting up some zombies to get all of that anger out of the system. Thirty something years old and I am playing video games on a Saturday night instead of drinking some beer with my buddies or spending the night with the wife. Oh, BTW the wife is playing PS3′s RS5 with me as the female heroine in Co-op play. Gee whiz, I have such a swell wife and my kids are going to love. Well, not so much with playing the Mature games until they are 18. Anyway, I am happy tonight to see that there is an open thread just in case I need to go over the deep end and rant and rave about some Global Warming Enthusiast. Anyway, back to RS5 and some zombie killing.

I don’t know if it’s for real article someone emaied it to me.

I was going through the usual bit of feed reading and noticed no California posts had happened since around the beginning of the month. I’m pretty sure this was the feed URL that once worked (I deleted it from my list perhaps over-hastily assuming the new one would be easy to find):

http://www.redstate.com/tags/tag/california/feed/

What’s the new URL that’ll work again? I’m missing my local coverage, or at least as much as I can miss it in these recent dark days of kicking-problems-a-few-months-down-the-road.

I was thinking about the gift gaffe between the Obama’s and the British PM, and it suddenly ocurred to me that, being from Chicago, Obama was thinking that any “gifts” had to be exchanged by throwing them over the transom.

I think we should setup a filter on the site, that changes all instances of “Tax” to “Involuntary Contribution to the Government” — everywhere.

Comments, diaries, posts, everywhere.

is at Intellectual Redneck. No link here. You’ve got to be smart enough and trusting enough to look us up yourself.

Let’s say that I had a $200K mortgage and got bailed out so that I only have to repay $150K.

- Does that $50K count as imputed income or whatever the right term is? If not (as I suspect), then why not?

- If 10 years from now I can sell it for $225K, do I owe back the entire first $50K and then however the other $25K gets taxed? If not (as I suspect), then why not?

- Why doesn’t this get carried back a few more levels? If 25% is knocked off, then how about going back to the construction workers who made $10 an hour and telling them they owe $2.50/hr of that back since they were really overpaid by 1/3.

Yeah yeah I know that last question is silly – in order to show how silly the whole thing is – but the first two questions seem legit.

With a hat tip to Powerline, from an interview by John King at CNN discussing Iran…

KING: When he was here, Admiral Mullen also said he agreed with the IAEA report that says Iran now has enough nuclear material, enough fissile material to produce a bomb. He says he agrees with that. What should President Obama do if that’s the case?

CHENEY: Well, you’ve got to find ways, I think, to avoid having Iran develop an inventory of nuclear weapons. We’ve talked about this for years. We worked it aggressively through the international community and with a lot of our friends in Europe…

KING: You were not always happy with that, especially at the end of the administration.

CHENEY: I was not always happy with that.

KING: You think your president invested too much in the European diplomacy?

CHENEY: Well, I can’t say that. It was a choice he made. And…

KING: But it was not your choice? It would not have been your choice?

CHENEY: I supported what he did. I supported his policies. And I got to argue my case with him. The circumstances now, though, are that we still have an Iran that I believe is pursuing nuclear weapons. What they’ve done, I think, as best I can tell — I’m not reading the intelligence reports anymore like I did before January — is they produced a fair amount of low enriched uranium, the kind that you would use for a power plant. That’s the hardest step to get to. Once you have got low enriched uranium, it’s relatively simple to change it to highly enriched uranium, and that’s the last step that’s needed before you have got fissile material for a weapon. So I’m not sure exactly where they are at this point, but I am confident of what their objective is, and I don’t think that’s changed.

Highlight is mine.

I really wish the ticket had been Cheney/Bush.

And the guys at Powerline hit the bottom line right on the money.

The contrast between Cheney’s lucidity and the babbling brook who now serves as Vice President is painful.

Read the whole article, it’s a great piece about a great man.
