One heck of a storm whacked my area about 10:30 last evening. The general opinion is no tornado, just sustained straight-line winds approaching 100 miles per hour.
I lucked out with very minor damage, though the cleanup will occupy the next two or three days.
Not more than a mile away, however, there is enough tree, boat, dock, and dwelling damage to keep a couple of platoons of insurance adjusters and a regiment of carpenters, mechanics, landscape guys, and chain saw artists busy for a long time.
Which in my book proves God is better at creating your basic economic stimulus program than His Obamaness, and Chucky Schumer put together.

Incitatus for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs?
1. His Obamaness is making his cook a food czar.
2. Joel has the beans on the development.
3.I am sitting here wondering why this is making make me think of Caligula's horse.

The Tactical Elastical
Okay, so I have a little weakness for cheese cake, but there's a journalistic reason for inviting your attention to this because, a while back, someone was jerking gunchick chains about tactical undies --presumably mythical -- for concealed carry.
What you lewdies are looking for is toward the end of the pictures, but on the way you'll find some funny tactical concepts.
H/T to Tam.

The Funny Papers
Hey, wanna read the funnies with me and Roberta X?
The Indianapolis Star may or may not have been a "great" newspaper, but a little more than a generation back Eugene C.Pulliam made it a highly respected one, a professional journal controlled by professional editors.

Pulliam is spinning in his grave. He considered his opinion and editorial pages centerpieces of the great national debates among literate people interested in public policy. His commentary was cheerfully nonpartisan, attached to but not in bed with the kind of conservatism represented by men like Barry Goldwater.
Roberta keys on the primary sadness here. The media have only the lowest opinion of your intelligence and mine. Gannett controllers seem convinced you and I have never read a book cover-to-cover. Or perhaps they concede we may be part of the small, strange cult of word readers but understand that the big money is made in pandering to the comic-book class.
