Betty Brosmer: Rule 5

Nope, we never tire of Betty around here at the rancho. Well, not me.

Wyoming prepares for the worst

The Wyoming legislature’s new doomsday bill may be overblown. They might need an army, an aircraft carrier (!) and their own currency?

On the other hand, the national debt does stand at an unprecedented $15 trillion, and the MSM keeps looking the other way—letting Obozo lie about what he’s doing while the missus keeps taking expensive vacations on our dime.

Meanwhile, gasoline is now above $5 a gallon in Los Angeles. Where, indeed, will it end?

Concludes VDH:  Probably near $10 a gallon.

The economy’s problems are just bad luck

Well, we knew it couldn’t be Obozo’s fault. He’s still blaming Bush for everything bad that happens.

And when that doesn’t work, he just flat-out lies about it. Including his new corporate tax break. He’ll match that by quietly tripling taxes on stock dividends which will ultimately hurt every retiree drawing income from a 401K. Yeah, that’ll fix consumer spending.

Had enough hope and change yet? Me, too.

Beware Muslim judges, the American ones

If, that is, you have chosen to do what no American political comedian dares to do, i.e. mock the Prophet Mohammed.

Like this poor fellow in Pennsylvania. The self-identified Muslim-American judge let his Muslim attacker off and, instead, berated the victim in court. Smooth, yes?

Mock Jesus, sure, no problem. Moses? He’s all yours. The “edgy” American political comedians do them all the time. But Mohammed? Not on your life. Or theirs.

UPDATE:  Now the judge claims he’s a Lutheran. But he’s still bashing the victim. Can’t insult them Mooslems. No, sir.

Michelle Antoinette on, what else, vacation

Friends of ours, whose son is one of Mr. Boy’s chums from Kindergarten days, returned Monday from their weekend ski trip to Aspen. They report no sign of Michelle Antoinette, our ever-vacationing First, ahem, Lady. So this is not a surprise.

Our friends made their money the old-fashioned way: they earned it. Queen Michelle just charges everything to the taxpayers. While her husband runs for re-election as a champion of the poor and the middle-class—terms which, thanks to him, are becoming synonymous. And gas prices already above $4 a gallon will quash vacations this summer for many of the little people.

The best location for zombie movies

Detroit, where else?

“Now Motor City is fighting again – as the world’s cheapest location shoot for zombie movies.”

That’s Iowahawk channeling Clint Eastwood in his supercilious Super Bowl ad. It’s called “A Fistful of Rebates,” and it’s a hoot.

Ron Paul has a good point

“…if we’re allowed to read any book that we want under freedom of speech, why is it we can’t put into our body whatever we want?”

The Texas congressman is the only wouldbe Republican nominee, so far, who has the cajones to question our insane drug laws. All they do is give the police an excuse not to spend time fighting real crime and actually protecting us.

As I was reminded the other day reading this tale in the daily of the BIG drug bust (mostly marijuana) at Texas Christian University. I could not help but sneer. What petty nonsense. Well, it keeps the police off the streets.

Very similar to the MSM’s current preoccupation with contraception, instead of focusing on the still-collapsing economy. Reminds me of how the Texas legislature biannually biennially gins up some incremental abortion or AIDS controversy to preoccupy the media and the public so the lobby can get on with the real business of seeking, paying for and receiving special deals for its clients.
