Discussed today at the office: Moonshine found in truck stopped for weaving
Why exactly is this noteworthy? From the article:
Guffey told authorities he parked his truck with nearly $3,000 inside it in Flag Pond, took a walk and came back to find it full of moonshine.
He said he has been buying whiskey like that in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina for a decade.
Honesty FTW.
Her acceptance speech Wednesday night at the RNC was a home run. Better than that. Bigger. Brighter.
As I said to Nichole not 10 minutes into Gov. Palin’s speech, and as I saw on Twitter, on The Corner over at NRO, and various other sites around these here intarwebs: regardless of what goes down in 2008, methinks we’ve just been introduced to the first female President of the United States. Dang, Martha, mah knees be weak! Wooooot! :D
An excerpt from a comment I left at one of my regular reads, wizbang:
What I think is really sending liberals’ reason spiraling around the bowl is this: she’s the anti-Hillary in all the right ways. Even at this admittedly-early-hour, it’s very, very conceivable that Gov. Palin, not tag-a-long Hillary, will become the first female President of the United States. And when that happens, a large number of liberal heads will simultaneously explode — it’s ideological doctrine, after all: “Hillary is Supposed To Be The First Woman President”, just like “Global
WarmingClimate Change Is A Real Threat”.
So to properly celebrate all of this (even just these possibilities!), I did what any sane person would do when they found themselves excited to be excited again about saying, “NO-bama” in November:
I made t-shirts!
I’m proud to say the design is 99% original. Parts that look official were inspired by some official logos/signage I found online; the only part that wasn’t created from scratch is the star-n-bars. What’s on these shirts is a combination of (1) a close approximation of actual McCain logostuffs, painstakingly recreated by my own hand/mouse, and (2) my own ideas as to what I wanted :)
The text, however, is all mine baby: “Sarah Palin may have stolen my heart, but I’ll give her my vote.”
Obamatron: bring it. Yo’ sorry, “Hopey McChangey”, empty-suit self just got dropped off at the dry cleaners :D
Yes, after a long hiatus I return to post this: I have created a totally unscientific survey for you to play with.
/cue applause
You may participate in this totally unscientific survey here: Human Nature & Political Leanings. And lest you be concerned as to how much time you might actually waste/lose by participating, the survey consists of a whopping two questions:
The near-realtime results are after the jump. Enjoy ;)
Found this fun new toy over at myheritage.com: “Find the celebrity in you!” Only downside: you have to create a myheritage.com account to use it.
I test drove it with pictures from Nichole’s recent birthday party — the results were interesting. As icing, once you’ve gone through the process and gotten your “celebrity” lookalikes, the site will build you a slick-daddy way to embed the results in your blog/myspace/friendster page. I give it a 7/10 for coolness, with -1 for the required signup. Our results are below the fold :)
If you live in Kennesaw, you are required to own a gun. Makes sense to me — in fact, I love it. In the immediate future you’ll be introduced to our two new pieces of hardware that are helping us comply with this ordinance :)
Other cities’ less-useful (but real) laws:
