THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Noticieros Televisa’s weather presenter Sugey Abrego. Mexican weather forecasting is something else. Might be hard to concentrate on the temps, trends and fronts with her in your face. Via Planck’s Constant. And Sugey is not alone.

Victor Davis Hanson on the promise of November, specifically about high-debt California but also about the rest of us: “Give Obama some credit. He has framed the 2012 election as a conflict of visions unlike any of our time. It’s our choice now, no excuses, no one left to blame. Change is coming, and with [...]

Finally…. After forty-one years of President Nixon’s War On Drugs, a group of mothers has organized—just as women did to help end Prohibition. Their children have been imprisoned (or legally murdered) for nonviolent drug offenses and these California women want the political, social and law enforcement madness to finally stop. MomsUnited: To End The War [...]

Texas has long required presentation of a driver’s license, or other photo i.d., in order to vote. Prove you’re a citizen with a right to the privilege. What could be more sensible? Not to Obamalot’s “justice” department. You know, the guys who shipped automatic rifles and hand grenades to Mexican drug lords and are still [...]

It was a pleasure to meet the real Rough Rider and Bull Moose in his most difficult moments, in The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt’s Darkest Journey. Although it was very disquieting to learn the harsh fate of his sons. This is quite a good book, which deftly shows the value of civic virtues we [...]

It’s traditional here to read this aloud on the 2nd of March, which is Texas Independence Day. Even big-Lib Gov. Ann Richards did it when she was in office. Commandancy of the Alamo Bexar, Feby. 24th, 1836 To the People of Texas & all Americans in the World– Fellow Citizens and Compatriots– I am besieged [...]

You know, the liberals protesting against the evil bankers on Obamalot’s behalf. (While Obamalot’s re-election campaign rakes in the bankers’ dough?) Well, some of them are pure Astroturf, i.e. Hispanics paid to do it in D.C. And some of them don’t even speak English. Your tax dollars (probably) at work. UPDATE:  More Astroturf at $22 [...]

“…elements of the U.S. Departments of Justice, State, Homeland Security, and Treasury are responsible for supplying an arsenal to narco-terrorists waging a civil war against an American ally [Mexico]. “Our federal government may bear responsibility for at least 200 murders committed with ‘walked’ firearms, in what Mexican Attorney General Marisela Morales describes as a ‘betrayal‘ [...]

“The Great Hurricane of 1780, also known as Hurricane San Calixto, the Great Hurricane of the Antilles, and the 1780 Disaster is the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record. “Over 20,000 people died when the storm passed through the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean between October 10 and October 16. Specifics on the hurricane’s track and [...]

Unfortunately the champion of Palestinian murderers and world dictators generally has so little political credibility that his new coming out for an end to the drug war will have little influence. Pity that. Although Dhimmi Carter (h/t Monkey In The Middle) is a great, alternative name for him.
