Obutthead’s comeuppance coming up

Posted on November 1, 2013 | 4 comments

“President Obama is facing the abyss. It’s that moment when a president’s plans are overwhelmed by his problems, and he’s relegated to playing defense for the rest of his White House term.

“Obama’s agenda already lingers near death. His poll numbers have slipped to new lows. His speeches are full of alibis and accusations.”

Now, if the Stupid Party can just capitalize on it in next year’s elections.

Via The Weekly Standard.

UPDATE:  “Often in error but never in doubt, Barack Obama could walk into the Rose Garden and step on a half-dozen rakes like Foghorn Leghorn in an old Looney Tunes cartoon, and the official line would be, ‘He meant to do that.’”

Obumbles: all tricks, no treat

Posted on October 31, 2013 | 2 comments

PJMedia’s Richard Fernandez does nice summaries sometimes and this one on our suspected-but-highly-unlikely Muslim president is a gem:

“The man has single handedly trashed the entire Arab world. Consider. The Muslim Brotherhood is hunted in Egypt, which is about to starve.. Libya is a Mad Max state. People are killing each other for all they are worth in Syria. Jordan and Lebanon are overrun by refugees. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states are on the brink. Iraq has slid back into chaos. Afghanistan is due to be handed back to the Taliban. With any luck there will be nuclear war between Iran and Israel.”

Except for that last sentence, of course. Tel Aviv for Tehran is a trade no one needs. But it would be in keeping with this Halloween Horror Story.

Why the fix won’t happen in Obumbles’ lifetime

Posted on October 30, 2013 | 6 comments

It’s this organizational chart for starters. Then there’s the ten thousand page rulebook. But there’s more:

“The scope of Healthcare.gov is staggering. Its 500 million lines of code dwarf the size of almost all known IT projects. According to CNN Money, it took just half a million lines of code to send the Curiosity rover to Mars. Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system has some 80 million lines of code. And a typical online-banking system might feature between 75 million and 100 million lines.”

And, of course, there’s the little matter of the administration’s culture of corruption, lying and thievery. It finally caught up with him, ha, ha. He makes FEMA look efficient. All in all, I’m betting that Obumbles will not see this doggle booned in his lifetime.

Our new Democrat military

Posted on October 29, 2013 | 7 comments

Time was when the American military was proudly apolitical. No more.

The Democrats finally realized that most of them were voting Republican and decided to make sure they were more sympathetic to the Democrat view.

So our military is not only being warned away from right-wing groups, such as the Tea Party and Christian fundamentalists, they reportedly will be punished if they help these groups with contributions.

The Democrats were already seeing to it that the military wasn’t allowed to win in Iraq and Afghanistan or pay attention to in-house Jihadis like Major Hassan. And retirees such as Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely were saying there’s a purge of insufficiently-PC commanders underway.

So the new righty-scorning line is just the latest step towards a fully political, i.e. Democrat, military. Which is the best reason I can think of to keep on downsizing it. It doesn’t do much of anything anyhow except waste money.

UPDATE:  More on the purge, which names names, though some of them seem to have been retired for other than political reasons.

Chewing their Quds

Posted on October 28, 2013 | 2 comments

The boys over at Al Quds really need to learn how to read English. Elsewise they might not have gotten so excited about this old Lancet research that found no evidence the world’s oldest terrorist was poisoned—instead of secretly dying of AIDS after years of anal sex with other goat lovers.

In fairness, though, the Daily Mail, a paragon of Fleet Street journolism, started it recently when they recycled the article, did their own share of misreading the English (their own language) and announced that Arafat’s toothbrush was radioactive, ergo he died of radiation poisoning. Which the research never found. But that didn’t stop them from then leaping into the wholly unknown to blame the Mossad. The Jooze did it. Who else?

Which brings us back to where we began at Al Quds (for those of you who read Arabic; hit the Google translate button if you don’t), which translates, roughly, to Jerusalem, or at least means the same thing. Although I prefer the phonetic Arabic version because these guys are always chewing their Quds.

It’s fun to watch Longhorns football again

Posted on October 27, 2013 | Comments Off on It’s fun to watch Longhorns football again

Although, in truth, I almost fell asleep late in the fourth quarter. But only because it was after midnight (that 3-hour lightning delay) and the Texas D was still “steamrolling TCU” as they had all night. Even when Case threw two stupid interceptions, the Frogs couldn’t capitalize because the Texas D simply wouldn’t let them.

Now doormat Kansas should be a gimme next Saturday and probably West Virginia the week after that and maybe OK State the following weekend and even Texas Tech on Thanksgiving. Baylor, we are told, is a powerhouse this year but in truth they haven’t played a good team. If they join the Horns in beating Oklahoma next week, it’ll be time to get impressed and, maybe, worry.

But even if that happens it’s fun to watch Longhorns football again. Something I haven’t been able to say since 2009.

Answer: Halliburton delivered

Posted on October 27, 2013 | 5 comments

Question: What’s the difference between Dick Cheney’s Halliburton contracts in Iraq and the no-bid $643 $90 million contract with Queen Mooch’s Princeton buddy’s company for a useless Web site?

Via Day By Day.

UPDATE:  Fox News takes notice. You didn’t think it was MSNBC, didja?
