LOL. What a bunch of wimps!

Seems that people in FL need to grow up a little and do something about their government so that they can do something about their bobcats.

Here is your link.

From the article:

Some residents said they are nervous about walking at night, while others are concerned that the wild cats may get into their homes.

Ha ha.

Of course the real problem here is also pointed out in the article:

. . . they are also protected animals, and the FWC will not remove them unless they are causing a nuisance or have rabies.

Are they kidding? Does that mean the residents can't trap the furballs and kill them or at least transport them far away and dump them? On the plus side I guess it's probably against the law for residents there to have chickens.

Seems to me that people have been trying to wipe out bobcats for a hundred years or more in this nation and haven't managed to make much headway. I seriously doubt that killing the ones in that town would make a difference.

Just what you need in case of inclement weather

In King, NC, a state of emergency banned the sale and possession of firearms and booze.

Here is your link.

From the article:

Under North Carolina law, (Police Chief) May said, when a state of emergency is put into place that includes a ban on driving, the sale of alcohol and carrying of firearms in vehicles is also banned.

Another quote from the Police Chief:

“By law, statue 14-288.7 automatically went into effect. And that law which goes into effect when there’s a state of emergency prohibits the transportation, purchase sale and possession of firearms other than on one's own premises.”

Seems to me that the chief wouldn't have looked so bad if she had declared the law unconstitutional and ordered her officers to not enforce it.

My advice: Find out what kind of crazy laws are in effect in your area and be prepared to deal with them.

This guy was actually elected?!!!

"We're not going to save our way out of this recession. We've got to spend our way out of this recession, and I think most economists know that."

That quote is from Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the House majority whip.

Here is your link.

The people of South Carolina need to think long and hard about the next election.

Pelosi likes the good stuff - at your expense of course

Wow. Here is your link.

Over $101,000 just for food and alcohol over a two year period. I wonder if she drank all that herself.

That $101,000 is not for the military jets. It's just for the booze and munchies. According to Judicial Watch she spent $2.1 million of your dollars on flying around in air force jets.

I'd like to think I could come up with something to add to that, but I'm at a loss for the moment.

Where are the tar and feathers?

A New Emphasis for NASA

To study "global warming". I'm not kidding.

Here is your link.

From the article:

In the meantime, the White House will direct NASA to concentrate on Earth-science projects — principally, researching and monitoring climate change — and on a new technology research and development program that will one day make human exploration of asteroids and the inner solar system possible.

That's great. Wonderful. Let's pour more money down that silly rathole and make al gore even richer.

Here is another good bit:

They also said that the White House plans to extend the life of the International Space Station to at least 2020.

Let's pour money into that orbiting menace. Lovely.

Meanwhile India is planning on going to the moon.

A fair sized kitty

I measured right at 30 inches from the tip of her nose to the base of her tail and at least 16 inches high at the shoulder. I had a little trouble measuring while holding her paw in the position it would be if she were standing so the height number is approximate. This one is big enough to make me think about a full mount.

I think the injury on the front leg was from attempts to escape.

Check out the size of that paw.


Here is the business end.

You can see how close she came to pulling a chicken right through the side of the pen. Note how the mesh is bowed out and the staples at the bottom are almost pulled out of the wood.


Here are some assorted views.



Time will tell if I have any more of these to deal with.

What do you do if you can't get the whole pie at once?

You take as much as you can get now and plan on coming back for the rest later.

So it is with socialized medicine.

They haven't given up. They may have to settle for a little less this time around but they'll be back.
