Mr. B.’s Rangers cap

He bought the cap figuring the Rangers would get back into the World Series again and, just maybe, this time they’d win it. Third time charm and all that.

Instead, they bombed out of the playoffs, homer-hitter Josh Hamilton was booed and may not be back next year and, suddenly, the cap has sentimental value only.

Mr. B. still wears it but now it reminds me of all the years the stRangers faded after the All Star Break. Even TFG, possibly their most loyal fan within a thousand-mile radius of San Antone, isn’t talking about the meltdown of 2012.

Unexpectedly!

Would be amusing if it were not indicative of how deep in Barry’s bag most of the news media is that any new, unpleasant news about our failing economy almost always gets the modifer “unexpectedly.”

Instapundit has been pointing out this trend in news reporting for several years now. If you haven’t noticed it, be sure to look for it. If Barry (g-d forbid) wins re-election you’ll be seeing a lot more of it, I’m sure.

And if Romney wins? Heh. “Unexpectedly” probably will become “expected.”

Vote for the Mormon not the charlatan

Mrs. Charm’s paternal ancestors left Wales (Babylon) in the 1850s, among a multitude of Mormon converts bound for the U.S. on ocean-crossing, side-paddle steamers. Her direct several greats grandfather made it as far as Kansas where his wife proved too ill to continue their wagon trek to the Great Salt Lake (Zion). Eventually their descendants left the church altogether.

But his brother pushed on and became a Mormon high muckety muck. None of which is directly dispositive of why I dislike President Golfpants so much (see here, here, and here for that), but it may help explain why I have nothing against Mormons in general or Mitt Romney in particular.

Before last night’s “debate,” I wished he had more balls (as some wiseguy said, if Sarah Palin loaned him one of hers then they’d both have two) and would show exactly how the Democrats are stealing us blind with their phony “stimulus” spending that mostly goes to their cronies, and why their welfare state will bankrupt us as it has Greece and Spain. But he did just fine.

Barring some unforeseen catastrophe, he ought to win handily. Barry may still eke it out, but it’s hard to believe people could want four more years of a tanked economy,  more unemployment and higher taxes—not to mention higher electric and gasoline bills. Just so they can be proud that they voted for a half-black man. Even if he is a charlatan. Bah.

High time to let an experienced businessman try his hand at a fix. Only Obama, Reid and Pelosi make it look like rocket science.  Romney knows it isn’t.

Social promotion

That’s how Obozo got where he is, the quota-hire who didn’t work out. After tonight’s “debate,” that’s more obvious than ever. Now the only thing to worry about is whether the pity vote will be large enough for him to win re-election.

Obama’s 2007 speech

I’m not really inclined to get riled over something Obozo said five years ago, anymore than I get upset when the Democrat media dredges up some tidbit of years past trying to make a Republican candidate look bad: Gov. Perry’s rock episode, for instance, or Gov. Romney’s alleged belligerence to some girl in (wait for it) high school.

But I have to admit it’s very amusing watching Obumbles’ court media (which is most of it, from the alphabet teevee outlets to the big-city dailies) fall all over themselves trying to justify their having swept the 2007 speech lionizing Rev. Wright under the campaign rug. Now that it’s emerged despite their best efforts, they’re trying to sweep it under the White House rug, you might say.

Of course they’re his puppets, who could miss it? But it’s really a pleasure watching them prove it. Instapundit has a nice summary in case you care. Me, I wasn’t going to vote for Barack Hussein Obama, anyhow. Not because he’s a closet-racist, but because he’s a thief, and a liar and an accessory to murder. Things he’s spent the past four years doing. His, uh, presidential record, as it were. I don’t want to see him embarrassed. I want him impeached.

UPDATE:  Roger L. Simon, a onetime civil rights marcher, nails it:

“Indeed, our president is the reverse of what he appears to be, pretending to bring the races together when he profits by driving them apart. In that sense, he is similar to Yasser Arafat, talking one way to the West and another to his Palestinian brothers.”

Clint’s empty chair at the U.N.

 

This UPI photo (taken of Obozo’s silhouette as he was leaving the U.N. stage after his speech) proves that, obviously, there’s news bias and there’s news bias. It’s not always Blue on Red. Heh.

Via Simply Jews.

Rapido Furioso: Can we impeach AG Holder now?

As a commenter at YouTube said, this Univision trailer alone should spark Obozo’s Watergate. But, of course, the Democrat media (that’s, ah, most of them) doesn’t investigate Democrats. They only do hit pieces on Republicans.

Nixon was impeached for lying about a break-in. Obumbles is complicit to murder. AG Holder lied to Congress and Obozo lied to Univision and everyone else when they claimed that Bush Jr. did it first.

Unfortunately, it’s not true. “Unfortunately,” I say, because only if it was true would the loved ones of all the Mexicans who died in Rapido Furioso get some justice.

UPDATE:  Romney/Ryan want Holder to resign. I’d go for more than that.
