Why Boing Boing Still Pisses Me Off

From time to time Boing Boing comes up with whimisical things that entertain me or in the case of my previous post, injustices that I feel need to be exposed as much as possible. But at the heart of Boing Boing is the pervasive Religion of Liberalism that embraces hypocrisy, cognitive disconnect and the parroting of talking points ad nauseam. (Something like NPR.) Here's a good example from Boing Boing:

The oldest thing in the world

The oldest living thing on Earth is a massive "meadow" of sea grass growing in the Mediterranean between Spain and Cyprus.

Wait for it. . .

It's somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 years old and reproduces by cloning itself.

Wait for it. . .

Also, it's being killed by climate change.

There it is! Never fails.

Today's Only Ones

I know some of y'all still defend the police and say that such actions are rare. I still feel that a culture of bullying, violence, and corruption is common in police forces. They do not protect and serve.

Super Bowl Dumbassery

We've been having a rash of accidents near where I work the last few days. This is Michigan Street looking west through the West Street intersection along the "Super" route for the Super Bowl yesterday afternoon. As of this morning it's been fixed.

Cop or Soldier?

Interesting test. I failed miserably.

Practice Test

Our local officials are in a hurry to say they're ready:

Indianapolis Says It Passed Super Bowl Snow Test

Sorry, boys. If an inch and a half of blowing snow "challenged road crews," you're fucked. I grew up in Michigan, went to grad school in Wisconsin, and lived in the hills of Pennsyltucky for five years. I've seen snow. This was a dusting. Keep hoping.

Tastes like. . .pork.

Civil Rights on State-funded University Campuses

Late last year I was part of a group that met with Indiana State Senator Jim Banks to discuss his sponsoring a bill that would prohibit universities that receive state money from taking away our constitutional right to carry a firearm on campus. Being busy, I hadn't keep track of any progress of this until running across the Indiana University Statehouse Report today and seeing:

SB 181 Possession of Firearms on State Property: The bill prohibits a state agency, including a state supported college or university, from regulating the possession or transportation of firearms on land or in buildings that it owns or leases.

While I'm sure my employer's undies are in a bundle, I'm pleased to see that this may go forward.
