First Principles

On Deaf Ears investigates a shop dedicated to Obama paraphernalia. Welcome to Austin–People’s Republic Of.  A city where Obama-mania has run so amok, there is an entire store devoted to selling Obama merchandise, open until Inauguration Day.  Did you think it stopped with commemorative plates?  By no means, my naïve friend. By no means. What […]

Instapundit posted a video of Jon Stewart making fun of Obama’s inagural address as sounding very Bushian.  It’s quite funny, and I have to say I’m glad to see Stewart getting the jabs in early.  I worry seriously about the Presidency becoming a worshiped personality cult, and a little cynical humor goes a long way […]

This guy was just trying to help all of his fellow ice fisherman get to their shacks.  The fact that he had a shack on the same Minnesota lake had nothing to do with it. Personally, I think he should sue the oil companies for their role in global warming, without which the ice surely […]

From Instapundit, I learned on this wondrous day of the greatest culinary invention in the history of man:  The Turbaconducken.

Via Instapundit, I discovered a site called Genderanalyzer.  It uses some kind of AI to determine if your blog is written by a man or a woman.  I’m proud to say that First Principles came back 94% Manly. The funniest thing, though, was when I put in my friend’s site Manlyweb.com, “One Real Damn Manly […]

Heh. This perfectly encapsulates the problems with the kind of responsibility free world liberals think they can achieve…

Yes, this is my pumpkin.  Yes, I’m that nerdy. But then, since Optimus Prime’s motto is, “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings,” I think he’d totally be on board with this blog.

So a guy farts on a police officer, and gets charged with battery.  Awesome. When police were trying to get fingerprints, police say Cruz moved closer to the officer and passed gas on him. The investigating officer remarked in the criminal complaint that the odor was very strong. Cruz is now charged with battery on […]

As much as I hate graffiti, I can’t deny that when I saw this in an outhouse a few weeks ago I found it so amusing that I just couldn’t help pulling out my camera. This was taken several weeks ago.  I now can’t help but to think how precient this particlar vandal may have […]

I’m just glad Yahoo News is reporting on the important stuff.

Today was the first day of the bar exam here in Nevada, and just the remembering of that day a year ago for me a year ago is enough to send terrified shivers down my spine. I still have nightmares that I never really passed, and that I’d have to do it all over again. […]

I came across this video today via the Politico.  Not only did it crack me up, but it reminded me why I still like Bush, on the whole.

If you haven’t checked out the first round picks in the previous post, you should do that first.  And without further ado…

It’s that time of year again. Every year in whatever pool I’m running, I submit a “Badassiest Mascot” bracket that bases its predictions solely on the badassity of the team’s mascot. (I generally decline to put money down on that one.) This has been the subject of controversy in years past, as the “badass” standard […]

…because Chuck Norris has spoken. On the other hand, why doesn’t Chuck just run for President?  I mean, does anyone really think that Mike Huckabee pushes the Earth down instead of doing push-ups?  Does anyone believe the chief export of Ron Paul is Pain?  Can Rudy lead a horse to water AND make it drink?

I was screwing around to find a fun video to see how to embed it in the blog. The “Don’t tase me, bro!” guy seemed played out, but then I found this little bit of awesomeness. Tiny pieces – roll out! I was going to delete this, after I got it going, but it’s too […]
