Obamalot’s latest move against Israel

“…workers at the Dimona reactor who submitted visa requests to visit the United States for ongoing university education in Physics, Chemistry and Nuclear Engineering — have all been rejected, specifically because of their association with the Dimona reactor.”

WordPress is fighting my effort to link to the source of the above, so I’ll put it here, I hope. Obamalot’s move may also be related to this.  Commentary from Roger L. Simon.

UPDATE:  The White House and the State Department are denying it, saying the Maariv newspaper story is inaccurate and there’s been no visas denied.

The Pavarotti of the Plains

TFG has a nice video clip of Big Don Walser in concert, at his yodeling best. Reminds me when he sang at a friend’s wedding and later when Mrs. Charm and I saw him at little club in South Austin. Then he was so obese that he waddled getting onto the small stage. His almost-equally obese wife sat nearby. TFG says we make too much of DW’s overweight, but he might be with us yet if he’d taken it more seriously himself.

More bluebonnets

Bluebonnets+008

Still haven’t had a chance to get out and photograph the bluebonnets. And won’t for a while, now that Mrs. C. has me double-checking her tally of our taxes. We are not among these folks who, don’t you know, probably vote for the Dems who keep raising the taxes of the rest of us. See what the Tea Party is upset about? This shot of the blue carpets is from a friend who lives out near Washington-on-the-Brazos. Illustrates what a great crop there is this year.

Heh

Democrats deserve a choice too

I’ve always enjoyed reading/listening to Mickey Kaus, formerly of Slate’s Kausfiles. Now I wish I could vote for him for Congress. Although to do it I would have to live in California. Uh, uh. He doesn’t have anything against his incumbent opponent, Barbara Boxer, other than that she’s in bed with the unions and all for creating another wave of illegal immigration from Mexico to further suppress low-skill wages for citizens. Me, in addition to those policies, I can’t stand her whiny voice. Mickey has a nice, almost soothing voice, and lots of common sense, something you don’t often see in a Harvard grad, and something the Dumbocrats could use a lot more of.

Behave yourself

That’s the slogan on the mousepad Sister Mary Martha sells for $15 on the blog “Ask Sister Mary Martha,” a sort of tough-love Dear Abby. (And, quite possibly, the only nun in Marina del Ray.)

If you’re not in the market for a mousepad with the face of a Roman Catholic nun on it (whatever it says) I think you will nevertheless like the blog as much as I do. Just don’t expect any sympathy. SMM is tougher than some rabbis I know.
