Jehesus. I learned it in school, and later, saw it on TV while watching cartoons.

You’d think our legislators would have at least tried to do things in the legal way, even if the outcome would have been the same….

“All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.”

Or, we could just have them watch Schoolhouse Rock:

If a bill is passed in an unconstitutional manner, do we have to abide by it’s contents?

He didn’t have any nail clippers……

Otherwise they might have had an issue with him travelling.

Remember, these are the people that insist that we be searched, either electronically or via perverts.

I feel so much safer today.

Trashed in Montana.

About time. Now, if only there were firings to go with the ruling.

Arizona and (perhaps)Texas is next. Then things will move north, perhaps bypassing northern Kalifornia but definitely coming to Oregon.

It may be that the liberals are killing everything they touch.

Draw down on a dude who is drawing down on you?

Uncle links to this video. You decide.

I have said it, but HERE is an excllent treatise on why elctions matter.

A lot.

For a long time.

Maybe we will see this again, a-la Start Trek (TMP).

Either way it is cool that a man-made object is leaving the solar system.

10.8 billion miles. A long way.

And a tribute to those who built the machine 33 years ago.

So I have spent the past 24 hours in the presence of people who were stranded by the snow in NW Indiana.

Couple of observatons:

Pay attention to the weather along your route: A significant number of people were stranded because they had NO IDEA that there was to be any significant weather action for the duration of their trip.

Have equipment adequate to the task: Bald tires in winter are a BAD IDEA. So are worn out wipers, failed defrost fans, non working lights, etc.

Wear or carry appropriate clothing for the weather you can reasonably expect. Shoes, coats hats,gloves,  etc. Your expected trip may be from house to car to another house, but you may have to detour from your route, and end up walking in those same office shoes, that thin coat, and REALLY need that hat to keep your ears a part of your physique.

To keep yourself from being beaten by your fellow stranded travellers, be on your best behavior around those who, like you, are stressed and out of their normal environment. 

Whining might get your ass beat.

YMMV.
