Gone But Not Forgotten

August 21, 2011 by 2 Comments

American Defense Enterprises or A.D.E. thought they could fade away from the view of their critics by taking down the YouTube video that had people rolling their eyes and shaking their heads in disgust. However, as we all know – and teens and politicians forget this at their peril – once it is on the Internet, it is there forever.

Thanks to Jimmyjive98, their original video was preserved and, I might say, enhanced for all to see. It also has a more appropriate soundtrack in keeping with what they are doing.

Hissy Fit Warning

May 20, 2011 by

A certain director of communications for a certain group of gun prohibitionists is about to have a hissy fit. He just doesn’t know it yet.

According to a summary of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

Thanks to a friend of Thirdpower at Days of our Trailers, we have a powerful parody of a poster put out by the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.

Go here to view it.  I must admit I had a little hand in this project but credit must go to Thirdpower and his graphics artist friend for taking some ideas and creating a masterpiece.

Those guys rock!

Move Over Tiger Moms

And make way for Irish Setter Dads!

P. J. O’Rourke says he is an Irish Setter Dad  in The Weekly Standard.

I just wasn’t cut out to be a Chinese Tiger Mom. I’m more of an Irish Setter Dad. Here are some of the things my daughters, Muffin and Poppet, and my son, Buster, were never allowed to do:

• go to Mass naked

• attend a sleepover at Charlie Sheen’s house

• mix Daddy a martini using sweet vermouth

• play the violin within earshot of me

Have you ever heard a kid learning to play the violin? A cat in the microwave is nothing to it. And let me add an addendum to the things my children were never allowed to do​—​put a cat in the microwave. I’m not saying it didn’t happen; I’m just saying they weren’t allowed to do it.

If you are a parent and feeling you’ll never measure up to Amy Chua’s Tiger Mom, just read O’Rourke and you’ll feel better. Or have your spouse and kids rolling their eyes because you are laughing at the computer again.
