Can’t get enough of this gal? Me neither. Fortunately, that’s what Rule 5’s for.

The Left’s first rule

Posted on July 24, 2011 | Comments Off on The Left’s first rule

The rule, “Government failure always justifies more government,” certainly is counter-intuitive. But, when government fails to do its regulatory job, or to do it properly, the Left’s solution is always more government regulation.

For instance….

The second, third and fourth rules (as I see them) are lessons in how to kill an economy, which Lefty Obamalot has been diligently practicing since 2009: big tax spending programs, tax hikes for “the rich” who invest in business, and more, expensive regulations for those businesses.

Workin’ great so far. Unemployment has topped 9 percent. Officially. Probably higher. Why would they want to do this? To justify more government.

Enjoy the weather, it’s the only weather you’ve got

Posted on July 23, 2011 | Comments Off on Enjoy the weather, it’s the only weather you’ve got

Somehow, in all my other distractions, I managed to miss Joe Bastardi’s February departure from Accuweather. Part of it was letting my Pro subscription lapse last summer when I had to get a new credit card and forgot to update my account. When they finally got around to asking for the update, I decided to let it go.

Bastardi was fun to read (and to listen to his brief video forecasts) but his focus wandered and I could have a hard time understanding him. I also got a little tired (despite agreeing with him) of his anti-AGW rants. But I always figured I could resume my sub if I got to missing him.

Then I got busy with the three (yes!) books I’m writing, and my spring trip to Israel. Only noticed the other day that old JB had gone missing because I always liked to hear his latest hurricane forecast and we’re coming up on the active part of that season right now.

Well, turns out he’s the new chief meteor of a start-up called Weatherbell, frequently appears on Fox, does guest shots on WUWT, and still Tweets (though how he can compress his natural verbosity into a Tweet is beyond me). My only question is does he still end his forecasts with the famous (and funny) line that’s the title of this post? Or does Accuweather claim to own it? I may have to subscribe to his new gig to find out.

More Capt. Israel

Posted on July 22, 2011 | Comments Off on More Capt. Israel

Just can’t get enough of this guy. I suppose the menorah’s a sort of fusion-cannon? And the shield, of course, stops bullets, shells and missiles? Just so.

The UN: Reichlet on American soil

Posted on July 21, 2011 | Comments Off on The UN: Reichlet on American soil

Bush Jr.’s hat-in-hand petitioning of the Dictator’s Club to sanction America’s Iraq campaign was bad enough, but it’s become the centerpiece of Obamalot’s appeasement of Muslim dictatorships. So this idea is way overdue:

“Let’s relocate the UN to, say, happy go lucky Saudi Arabia or that island paradise of Cuba. I’m sure the UN delegates—a charming multicultural coalition of petrified Communists, IslamoNazis and murderous Third World thugs—will be thrilled to be on home ground in contrast to the, y’know, Zionist Occupied Jew York.”

And while you’re reading the rest, don’t miss the cool explanatory video.

Why the economy sucks

Posted on July 20, 2011 | Comments Off on Why the economy sucks

“I support Democrats and Republicans. And I’m telling you that the business community in this [country] is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he’s gone, everybody’s going to be sitting on their thumbs.”

Yeah, people have noticed.
