Kevin at Smallest Minority has a good post about the Democrat failure, whether intentional or just stupidity. Good read, as usual.

More evidence that it's ok ......
Two items stolen from Kevin .........
Restaurateur actually wants customer to carry.
High-ranking LEO admits that civilians do better in shootouts.
Who'd a thunk?

The affliction ......
Ah, The Affliction ........ so we come to it at last.
I have Multiple Sclerosis.
See, that wasn't so bad. I was diagnosed a little over two years ago. The symptoms that caused the diagnosis: had a sudden numbness in my left arm left side, and down the left leg. Emergency room visit ruled out a heart attack or stroke. An MRI, lumbar puncture, and a neurology visit confirmed it .... MS.
And now, since I've been laid off, the job prospects look slim. I've taken a couple of neurological exams, including one for social security benefits ..... not sure what deficiencies they show, but I know there are some. Right now, my left arm and hand just aren't right. Can't 'feel' things, but I'm more sensitive to pain ... go figure. Balance is affected, gait has been affected. Fatigue issues .... heat makes it worse, so this time of year is the worst.
But the really annoying thing the cognitive deficiency. I have ephasia, pretty bad. I can think things through reasonably well, just can't get them out of my brain through my mouth. I have noticed a lessened ability to think critically; that's why I follow a couple of the blogs I do (for the practice). My therapist (TLS) says that even though I feel the deficiencies, I'm waaaaaaaay ahead of the average Joe, so that's something to keep in mind.
If you follow this blog (anyone?!) you may notice that my posts seem to incomplete, or ramble ...... it's probably the MS talking.
And no need for sympathy .... it is what it is. I'm dealing with it.

Great moments, indeed!
From the smart, military blog Ace of Spades comes this tale of woe ...
I'm sorry ...... I meant woe for the wealth distributionists.
This commenter quote is sweet: "It may be better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, but it's even greater to kick over a candle and curse the dingbat."

Let us take a moment ......
Les Paul, dead at 94.
Yes, I know he was an innovator in the recording industry, but to me his greatest accomplishment is the development of the electric guitar.
And there was no finer example than the Les Paul Custom.
RIP, Les. I'll bet you and Chet are rippin' it in heaven!

Nothing happened. Go figure.
All the Gun Rights Examiners should be regular blog stops.

My 'something new' for today ...
Mike (over at Sipsey St) puts us on some knowledge about posters, that I had never known.
Scroll down to the part about Pet milk!
PS- I think Rep. Scott had someone do it. Update: Here's why.

Redress of grievances?
Many of the congressional town halls have turned into .. exuberant .. forums for angry constituents to voice their displeasure for the Obama health care reform efforts. Members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU, and Obama lackies) were filmed attacking anti-reform citizens.
Mike over at Sipsey Street has more in-depth information about one of those SEIU thugs, as well as some musings on what has historically happened to some perpetrators.

So, which is it?
Kevin has another great post about the difference between malice and incompetence. This particular post has analysis as well as related information.
I've heard Kevin referred to as 'long-winded' ....... maybe, but the information he puts on you is typically pretty good.
As Kevin says ......... go, read!
