They Broke The Blog!

My hosting provider upgraded PHP. That’s good, right?

Not when it breaks the blog software which, admittedly, I have not been terribly diligent in upgrading lately.

So now I’m running beta code.

Yay.

Anyway, it’s ugly, but it’s working, for certain definitions of working. And when I get time to pretty it up, I shall do so.

Whew. Now to go fix the blog side of sdsufans.com . . .

The right to say “no”

No means no, right?

Well, unless a gay couple asks you to make them a wedding cake.

In that instance, no means hate.

Or so we are told by the shrieking media lynch mobs of the Social Justice Warriors.

Starbucks VP-Communications deletes Twitter account

A Starbucks executive just deleted his Twitter account after backlash over the company’s new ‘race together’ campaign[*1] .

Also, Starbucks coffee sucks. That’s why you need all the cream and sugar in it to choke it down.

* “Social Justice Warrior”: An officious, overbearing, busybody of a mindless knee-jerk leftist twit who has an overwhelming need to feel superior to others by being more “sensitive” or “tolerant” than the next guy, or gal . . . and expresses that sensitivity and tolerance by being astonishingly intolerant and insensitive. They treasure “respectful conversations” which they then define as agreeing with them 100%. If you do not, you are a racist, sexist, homophobe, “worst person in the world,” etc, etc.

The long climb, the sudden fall

It has saddened me beyond words to realized that most people have looked at that better place and said “No, thank you, we prefer the dank darkness of the pit.”

We have a President who truly believes that “because I said so” is a valid governing principle.

We have a media whose fondest wish is to be thought kindly of by that President, and so has absolutely no interest in investigating any of his administration’s transgressions and illegalities.

We have an opposition party whose fondest wish is not to oppose that President, but to be thought kindly of by that media.

We have paid shills among us who try their damnedest to shout down anyone who says an untoward word about the President.

We have fellows among us who mindlessly mouth the bromides of the paid shills because that is all they’ve ever heard, and take visceral offense at any person who dares to utter an “offensive” thought in their presence. And they find nearly everything offensive, and attack the “offender” in the most vicious manner they think they can get away with.

The climb was long. The fall has been sudden. It seems that the only hope now is that we don’t fall all the way down to the bottom.

A Vote For Exploding Trains

Obama has vetoed a bill, passed by Congress, to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline.

Eight days ago, a train carrying crude oil exploded in West Virginia.[*1]

Moving oil by rail is more risky than moving oil via pipelines[*2] .

The only reason for Obama’s veto is his radical, far-left “progressive” ideology of forcing Americans to pay higher prices for energy because of their unshakable belief that “the environment” is more important than actual, living people.
