Skinner and the Smoking Man will haul you in for questioning. Be afraid. Be very afraid. They will send black helicopters to abduct you. The IRS will audit you. Also, the Men in Black will visit you with that little doohickey that erases your memory. (more…) Read more

A Petition For All Freedom Loving People to Sign UPDATED

Last updated on: March 3, 2015 at 3:32 pm By Frank Weathers

Notice: This petition reached the goal and was responded to by the Administration. Evidently, I’m getting ready for a Catholic Spring or something. After posting about the Facebook group all freedom loving people should join, see, I had another idea. After all, if I’m in for a penny, I’m in for a pound. Just like the Pamchenko, there is no “half way” with me. I’m either fully on, or fully off. And you knew John Wayne died a Catholic,... Read more

Brought into the present. Is this what it would take for you to consider voting for Obi-wan? You know, Uncle Owen said he’s crazy too, but he never thought much about the Empire, or politics until…it was too late. HT Darren Burrows, aka Ed Chigliak Read more

Because the YOUCAT Helps My Children and Me

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 11:36 pm By Frank Weathers

You may have missed the fracus a few years back when I killed Santa Claus, but his memory still lives on. In our house now, “Santa” means “unexpected gifts from Mom and Dad.” This past Christmas, see, Santa gave each of my children a copy of the new Youth Cathechism, also known as the YOUCAT.

To Become Technically and Tactically Proficient

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 9:16 pm By Frank Weathers

One of the characteristics of the Catholic Church that appealed to me right away was that not only does the Church teach the importance of strategy, but she also recognizes the importance of tactics. And like the Marine Corps, the Church Militant produces field manuals teaching and relating the effective use of both strategy and tactics. All of which are based on her actual experience gained in fighting, and winning, spiritual wars. (more…) Read more

How to Make A Silk Purse Out of A Sow’s Ear

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:14 pm By Frank Weathers

That’s easy. Make an argument that serial marriage makes for a better President. Fox News shares the wisdom here. Which reminds me. Whoever said that about silk purses and sow’s ears didn’t know ‘nothin’. Afterall, ’tis the season for cognitive dissonance and fuzzy logic. Read more

SCOTUS Holds That Warrantless GPS Tracking is Unconstitutional UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:14 pm By Frank Weathers

Once again, I heartily endorse the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and their radical concept of separation of powers. Huzzah! All nine justices of the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that police officers violated the Fourth Amendment rule against unreasonable search and seizure when they attached a GPS device to a suspect’s car and tracked it for 28 days without a warrant. But the court was split down the middle on the reasoning. Four justices focused on the physical trespass... Read more
