Being careful what you ask for,

because you might get it. Feminism comes to pass.

...the first generation steeped in feminist propaganda from kindergarten to college graduation reaching an age where their voices are finally being heard. And the voice of the male half of Generation X and those generations following it is a contemptuous one indeed, because many of these men, including some of the most articulate, understand how utterly they were lied to by every authority figure they ever knew concerning the opposite sex.

This is the new societal reality, and it is not only one that women created, it is one that women demanded. While our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers made it possible, they only did so at the instigation of women who sought liberation from the oppression of patriarchy. The society that Noonan decries is the very society for which women fought so long and hard.

Interesting observations from GenX. Read the whole thing.

Preaching

NBC (and I suppose others) are making a big deal of this. They are showing it as if it will hurt Santorums's and Republicans' campaign. The MSM is wrong again.



On the other hand they are not showing this. Why not, if they think preachers have something to say?

Spring Chicken

Well it is almost spring, and we have had unusually warm weather.



Last evening I fired up the little charcoal Weber and cooked a chicken. The chicken has been spatchcocked. It's a technique I first leaned about from reader/friend Tom in Alaska. It is great for grilling.

It's not about the money

The city of Grand Junction and the GJ Police Department are doing it for your own good.

The Sentinel tell us that Junction cops will target ‘rear-end’ crashes. The lengths of North Avenue, F Road, and U.S. Highway 6&50 from Mesa Mall to First Street, will be the focus of increased attention over coming months.

KKCO News 11 puts a number on it. With the push of a button, police can take the same equipment they use to write you a speeding ticket, to fine you for following too closely, a fine that runs $177.

No matter what they say about laser measurement, it is a judgement call by the cop. Virtually everybody travelling on the targeted roads will be in violation.

I'm sure that you have never seen a line of traffic on F Road all spaced 4 car lengths apart.

Do the math. $177 per ticket. 6 officers usually are dedicated to traffic enforcement or accident investigation writing 10 tickets each from Tuesday to Friday (5 days a week), over the coming months (40+ days)

$177 x 6 x 10 = 10,620 per day x 5 x 40 = $2,12 4,000

Thats a possible two million dollar bonus into the city hall coffers. But really, it is all about your safety.

Gateway Guns

Instapundit notes another lefty with his underwear misarranged.

THEY SAY THAT LIKE IT’S A BAD THING: Nerf: The “Gateway Gun?”

Instapundit says: More toy guns, fewer religious extremists like Father Pfleger who want to run our lives.

I'm guessing that Pfleger would stroke out over this double barreled .45 found on Rick Wagner's blog.

NPR asks: What happened to “please” and “thank you”?

Bill Maher answers : You know, no one at my shows ever objects to me calling Palin a “c*nt”

Edgy left liberal media routinely ridicules conservative social values and then wonders why people seem so rude.

Another superlative from the Obama administration

Gas Prices Have Never Been Higher.
