Taking a break

Iowahawk has been quiet today, after an epic rant on the troubles of social media.
May he enjoy his hot rods and may our fears cool down.

If you're not offended, read Iowahawk

Instapundit touts Iowahawk's list of tweets intended to offend our fragile college students.

Iowahawk puts the week into song.
He didn't start the fire - even if he picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

Teach your children the Iowahawk way

Iowahawk weighs in on the "our children" talk from MSNBC.
When you put "we have to collectively educate/raise our children" into the Google Lefty Translator, you get "I want to force your kids to listen to my lectures, and I want to force you to pay me for it."

Thus sayeth the government

After coming back from church, I got to read Iowahawk's thoughts on the beginning.
²³ When she saw that the fruit was pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, and also free to download, she took some and ate it. She emailed a copy to her wholesaler, and he ate it; and then the wholesaler to the manufacturer, and he to the servicer. ²⁴ Then the eyes of all of them were opened, and they realized they were being taxed naked; so they outsourced fig leaves to make coverings for themselves.

Looking for Taxon

Iowahawk offers the latest Democratic discovery - Taxon doesn't exist.
I'm a skeptic. I see Taxon throughout Washington.

A dog gone shame

So we've spent a day talking about Obama's diet of dog meat in the far past.
Will we continue the meme?
It doesn't have legs. It has drumsticks. (my brother gave me the line).
UPDATE: My brother gave me Iowahawk's line. Of course.

Time for the cruise-in

What's the best part of Earth Day?
Iowahawk's Earth Day cruise-in.
The place to be to get your motor running.

Give us Barabbas

The man meets the medium with Iowahawk on Twitter.
Here's the story on planning by Sanford for when the George Zimmerman investigation announces its decision.
His tagline?
Give us Barabbas.
Perfect for Easter weekend.

Too cold, Iowahawk

Via Ace, the Iowahawk tweet of the week on President Obama.
We may need to check our math.
Nine months before August, 1961 was November 1960.
Still funny.

Halftime for Iowahawk

Iowahawk takes a good look at Clint Eastwood's commercial.
I thought this was the best line
Detroit’s showing us it can be done. Just like Sergio Leone did with Spaghetti Westerns, It's reinventing a dying American institution with a fistful of dollars from sleazy Italians - and with me at the top of the marquee.
Until I got to the end.
And, speaking of hideous rusted clunkers from Detroit, please enjoy Madonna's halftime show. 

Imagine better lyrics

Iowahawk takes the news of John Lennon's changing political views to change some lyrics.

I read the news today oh boy
More unemployment, unexpectedly
And though the news was rather sad
They tried to make it gla-a-ad
They said it wasn't all that bad

Earth Week cruise-in

Iowahawk has the best gaz-guzzlers and the people who love them as we get ready for Earth Day Friday.
Onward into the carbon fog.

Time to par-tay

Iowahawk has the lowdown on President Obama's latest attempt to get the youth of America to listen to him.

"A database somewhere in his lower intestine"

Iowahawk gets serious, and does some serious damage to Paul Krugman.
Mr. Krugman (please note - I don't call anyone "Doctor" unless they can write me a prescription for drugs) doesn't mention where he gets his dropout statistic from. I suspect a database somewhere in his lower intestine. So I endeavored to find most detailed / recent / comprehensive state-by-state dropout table, which appears to be this 2006-7 report from the National Center for Education Statistics.

Event Dropout Rates for 9th-12th graders during 2006-7 school year:
White students: Texas 1.9%, Wisconsin 1.2% (national average 3.0%)
Black students: Texas 5.8%, Wisconsin 7.8% (national 6.8%)
Hispanic students: Texas 5.6%, Wisconsin 5.2% (national 6.5%)

Gonna fly now

Pick your side

The greatest civil war of the post-election period - Iowahawk vs. Iowahawk.
It's hard to choose a side after this exchange
After a contentious meeting where I demanded an apology from me, me countered that it was actually me who deserved an apology from I. Of course, me stormed out of the meeting, but not before telling I that me was rejecting his suspension and would immediately go on strike. Me will soon be issuing an official Open Letter to announce my upcoming Special Comment on the Me vs. I matter. Until then, me am making myself available to all high-traffic media outlets for interviews.

Do you know how to drive a stick?

Iowahawk strikes again, filling in the blanks on President Obama's typical stump speech.
Don't drink a slurpee while reading it.
