Rangers in six

Posted on October 19, 2011 | Comments Off on Rangers in six

That’s my considered prediction for the Series which starts tonight. The Cardinals are just too good not to win a few. Scott agrees, though his hedging is all over the block, nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers. I’ll be happiest if the Boys from Arlington take tonight’s game. More on the update.

UPDATE: Rangers in seven? It was a shock, the TR’s 3-2 loss, mainly because their biggest bats were silent. “Power Outage,” said the Boston Globe. It was that. Hope it was the cold—Elvis Andrus was wearing earmuffs. Are we in for another lost Series? Wait and see.

Good ol’ Rangers

Posted on October 16, 2011 | Comments Off on Good ol’ Rangers

They won their second pennant last night, bats aflame in a 15-5 beatdown of El Tigres de Detroit, and advance to their second World Series in a row—a first in the American League West since the Oakland As did it in 1988-90, according to Fox Sports.

Hope they can win this one, whomever they play, St. Louis or Milwaukee, and not be plowed under again as San Francisco did to them last year. I’m sure their No. 1 fan, my very own Webmaster who is undergoing chemo at the moment, is optimistic. But he usually is where the Rangers are concerned.

UPDATE:  The Cardinals are their opponent, starting Wednesday. Go TR!

Conserve Earth, Colonize Space

Posted on October 15, 2011 | Comments Off on Conserve Earth, Colonize Space

 

Had a bumper sticker by that title, years ago. Back in the 80s, I believe it was, when talk of O’Neil’s orbiting colony at L-5 (left) was rather more popular than now.

But it should be, again, in some form, avers aerospace guy Rand Simberg. Exploration, per se, makes no sense. Unless we go to stay.

And if we don’t do it, others will.

More ideas, here.

Pelephone’s delightful ad

Posted on October 12, 2011 | Comments Off on Pelephone’s delightful ad

Pelephone, an Israeli mobile phone company, has produced one very imaginative, quite funny, advertising video. Enjoy.

Via Dustbury (where the link offers a library of similar Pelephone video ads).

Madison Avenue, meanwhile, prefers little playlets featuring “emasculated men…unbearable women [and] know-it-all children.”

Democrat paid protestors

Posted on October 9, 2011 | Comments Off on Democrat paid protestors

You know, the liberals protesting against the evil bankers on Obamalot’s behalf. (While Obamalot’s re-election campaign rakes in the bankers’ dough?)

Well, some of them are pure Astroturf, i.e. Hispanics paid to do it in D.C. And some of them don’t even speak English. Your tax dollars (probably) at work.

UPDATE:  More Astroturf at $22 an hour on Wall Street. Pricey. Where the Anti-Semites also are out in force.

Cutting off your nose to get them re-elected

Posted on October 7, 2011 | Comments Off on Cutting off your nose to get them re-elected

“….the Fools on the Hill are risking a trade war similar to that which occurred in 1931 at a time when the global economy is in the most dangerous [straits] in the past 75 years. There are other issues to deal with, but the currency kabuki is simply window dressing for an out of touch and bought and paid for Senate.”

These anti-business Dumbocrats sure know how to screw an economy. They can also start shooting wars and we’d better hope they don’t like their perks that much.
