Is Mac inside Barry’s OODA Loop?

Posted on September 2, 2008 | Comments Off on Is Mac inside Barry’s OODA Loop?

Chet Richards, one of the guardians of the theories and memory of the late, great Air Force fighter-pilot and military strategist John Boyd questions this contention of Charlie Martin’s in American Thinker re Mac’s choice of Sarah Palin for veep. Martin uses the term too loosely, suggests CR who says it’s too early to tell. CR’s claim that the pick was predictable, however, is probably unique. No one else I know of expected Mac to pick a woman. I think the old Navy fighter pilot, indeed, has generally been inside Baby Barry’s OODA Loop for some time now with his sharp, quickly-produced teevee ads. Whether he can stay there remains to be seen.

The Hostess With The Moosest

Posted on August 31, 2008 | Comments Off on The Hostess With The Moosest

The incomparable Mark Steyn weighs in on the relative "experience" of Baby Barry vs Gov. Palin:

"Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are more or less the same age, but Governor Palin has run a state and a town and a commercial fishing operation, whereas (to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain’t run nothin’ but his mouth. She’s done the stuff he’s merely a poseur about."

Read it and weep, Dems. Your historic moment done come and gone. Just like in ’04. Heh.

Dems come unglued

Posted on August 30, 2008 | Comments Off on Dems come unglued

They’re desperate, I tell you. Absolutely desperate over Baby Barry and Old Joe having to face the combination of Mac and Sarah. Faux filmmaker and famous fatso Michael Moore is even celebrating Gustav. He doesn’t care how many the storm kills so long as it disrupts the Repub convention. Old news actually, considering all the lies he’s told in his "documentaries."

UPDATE:  A quick lesson in how an anti-Palin site was set up by one of Baby Barry’s supporters. And, inevitably, she’s being dissed for being a smalltown beauty queen. But by another woman?

MORE: MSM: Mac, "the underdog," is taking a big risk with Sarah. Yeah, $7 million worth in 24 hours!

Sarah’s a lock

Posted on August 29, 2008 | Comments Off on Sarah’s a lock

The Hilarity Clintonistas are gobsmacked. They should be. So is Reagan’s old political director, Ed Rollins. He should be, too. Forget the nattering MSM. They get no votes and, increasingly, influence none.

Live from the Georgian government

Posted on August 12, 2008 | Comments Off on Live from the Georgian government

The Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is live-blogging on Blogger, apparently as a solution to early denial-of-service hacking of its servers by the Russians. It helps to have a map, and Georgian news agency link, which, along with the blog entries, show that Russian talk of a halt to its invasion is mainly propaganda. Their bombing and killing continue.

UPDATE:  Indeed, Georgia calls B.S. on Russian and media reports:

"Russian occupation forces are fully operational in Georgia with at least 12,000 troops throughout the country, many of them outside of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This is in no way represents a ‘halt to military operations’ or a ‘halt to war’ as many media outlets are reporting."

CNN News Alerts

Posted on August 12, 2008 | Comments Off on CNN News Alerts

I knew the first time I got one of these new malware creations in the email that I hadn’t signed up for it because I despise CNN. The second time I read some of the "headlines," stuff designed as grabbers, like the death of an entire major league baseball team in a plane crash. I Googled the item just to be sure, found nothing and spiked the email. Dustbury is getting a lot more of them than I am.
