Hey, you can’t argue with settled science, now can you?

The Hoffman microcar

Posted on October 10, 2015 | 5 comments

Proof positive that German engineering ain’t always the best.

The 1951 Hoffman micro with rear-wheel steering and a staggering six horsepower had everything imaginable wrong with it. Including the driver’s side door. As Road & Track explains.

Insty calls it the Plan 9 from Outer Space of cars.

Pol drinks from Pope’s used water glass

Posted on September 26, 2015 | 2 comments

The irreligious will find it “kinda weird” as Insty headlines what has turned into a commenter marathon on supernatural religion. And I suppose it is, up to a point.

But Catholics aren’t the only ones who do this. Jews, too, venerate the objects touched/used by famous rabbis, pilgrimage to their graves and pray there. Including the Kotel (the western wall of the Temple Mount) where the old joke is that prayer is a local call.

A joke that’s passing on now that fewer understand what a “local call” is.

How to improve policing

Posted on August 29, 2015 | Comments Off on How to improve policing

Want to stop all the police killings and (apparently) retaliatory killings of police? The Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds has a solution. Even if it’s unlikely to be taken.

“(1) abolish official immunity; (2) require insurance for all police; (3) give people a choice of who polices their neighborhoods. That won’t happen, though, because it’s bad for public employee unions and it doesn’t make for appealing slogans designed to drive black [Democrat] voter turnout in November of 2016.”

Repealing the drug war or, at least, decriminalizing marijuana, would help. Also getting rid of SWAT teams. But both are entrenched now and few pols are brave enough to be take them on. They might lose their chance to keep on stealing.

UPDATE:  The Harris County (Houston) deputy slain (at first link above) was killed by a black man who has now been arrested. As Instapundit says: HOW MANY MORE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF OBAMA’S RACIALLY CHARGED RHETORIC? First the black Virginia killer. Now this Texas one.

Already a classic, whatever Ma Barker actually manages to do with her Top Secret emails. The ones she hasn’t already destroyed. My favorite line: “”If she did that much yoga she wouldn’t need to wear pantsuits.”

Rocker’s Pearls

Posted on May 24, 2015 | 2 comments

Rocker Ted Nugent’s advice to graduates:

1. Life is not fair. Get used to it.
2. Social justice is a commie scam. Read the drivel of Saul Alinsky and fight it with all you’ve got.
3. Nobody owes you jacksquat. You will either earn your own way, or feel like a helpless leech. There is no middle ground.
4. Economic equality is for sheep. If you really believe we are all equal in our capabilities you will go nowhere.

More. And with Nugent in Waco.

Teach Women Not To Rape*

Posted on April 25, 2015 | 3 comments

To hear the lefty academics and the Worm’s administration tell it, there’s an epidemic of sexual assaults on women on college campuses. You can bet Godzillary will be echoing it as she runs for president (see update below).

The statistics don’t bear it out, but in politics the argument with the loudest voice (i.e. the most publicity) wins. And thanks to the Democrat news media, the left has long enjoyed the loudest voice.

Ahem. However. The blogger Instapundit, apparently without any of the resources of the academics and their political and media cronies, has single-handedly uncovered a growing epidemic of sexual assaults in high schools and middle schools. Scores of cases, in fact.

Not against women, but by women. Mostly on underage boys but sometimes on adolescent girls as well.

Via Instapundit. (* Recurring Instapundit headline.)

UPDATE: Godzillary already is beating the drum for those alleged sexual assaults on college campuses. It’s all part of her class and gender warfare. She’s ignoring the high school and middle school ones, of course. They don’t fit her narrative.
