You will pay for abortions, like it or not

Not that my paying for them, via tax money, really bothers me much, though I think they’ve become a form of birth control for a lot of uneducated and/or irresponsible women.

But, really, why should people who don’t believe in abortion have to pay for them? I suppose for the same reason people who don’t believe in war have to buy the bombs for the B-52s. But abortion is a trickier subject and Obozo may come to regret this one. I hope.

OTOH, abortions, via such venerable political organizations as Planned Parenthood (which actually helps women avoid parenthood), are as sacred to the Democrat party as labor unions. Obozo has no more choice (so to speak) in this matter than he does about supporting the AFL-CIO—an organization once (as recently as the 1970s) famed for its racism.

UPDATE:  Obozo tells religious groups to go to hell. That’ll learn ’em. Then, saying he really isn’t, he does it again. Is this guy nuts, or what?

The badge gang is very touchy

The badge gang may wear their surnames on their chests, or, at least, they used to. But woe unto anyone who dares take their picture in the, cough, performance of their duties. (Much less the consumption of their donuts.)

Fortunately there are lots of out-of-work lawyers these days just waiting to sue, and more and more precedent cases. The gang is especially touchy on this one because they’re losing.

The emperor has no clothes

Not a big surprise, but still worth a read.

“The only president to ever need a teleprompter to handle a press conference — so his staff could feed him the answers…”

No global warming for 15 years

Take that, Gorebot, Obozo, et al. Find your tax revenue somewhere else.

Not that they’ll notice. They’re still singing the “CO2 causes global warming and the science is settled” refrain.

Maybe when the glaciers move as far south as Chicago and, then, Tennessee. Ya think?

No trial, no doctor, no judge

When it comes to the growing arrogance of the badge gang, it would be hard to beat your local team of deputy sheriffs—these are the folks who run your county jail, where you’re liable to wind up if you’re arrested for anything.

They are the least educated, the least sophisticated, and, in my experience as a former cop reporter, certainly the most inhumane. But this is disgusting. I hope the bastards who pulled this stunt at least got fired. Ought to jail ’em all, including the sheriff who hired ’em.

Let him be clear

Let me be clear. I do not watch SOTUs because I have better things to do than to listen to presidents politicians prevaricate and tell outright lies, like Obozo did the other night. Repeatedly.

I specifically do not watch SOTUs by President Obozo because he is an ordinary hack politician of no merit who never says anything worth listening to. Except his famously repetitious “Let me be clear.” Which is, at least, worth a laugh.

Rains welcome

The thunderstorms overnight Tuesday into Wednesday were welcome in most places, except where they provoked trouble: power out for a few thousand homes, hail damage, street and creek flooding, emergency rescues, and at least one tornado.

The National Weather Service, whose Internet radar images always seem to go down on these occasions when they’re needed, lost them again right on schedule. Our tax dollars at work. At least they recorded a healthy five three inches of rain at their official downtown gauge (more than five inches out at the airport east of town). Got almost three here at the rancho, northwest of downtown.
