R.I.P. Joe Bol

Joe Bol, friend, OCS classmate, rare reader and occasional commenter here, passed on to the next world Wednesday, from complications of multiple medical problems. Adios, Joe, see you again on the turnaround and may our next incarnations not include a thankless political travesty like the Vietnam War.

Via his adopted son Joseph Bol.

UPDATE:  Obit for Joe with updated photo. Pity for the misspellings and the usual military ignorance of our non-serving, self-centered fellow citizens. Thus he is credited with a Bronze Medal for Vietnam, as if he had been competing in the Olympics. It’s Bronze Star Medal, of course. Nothing at all about where he went to school or his occupation after the war. I don’t know the former but, IIRC, he was an accountant for the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority, which promotes professional athletics, horse racing, etc.

The Climate Schuck in Brief

Posted on April 1, 2016 | 3 comments
Via 

With time, the description has become more accurate:

1. Global Cooling

2. Global Warming

3. Climate Change

4. Give Us the Damned Money

Meanwhile, in the blue states, the reigning Democrats are going to pretend their constituents really don’t need cheap electricity or gasoline. Oh, yeah, that’ll fix the economy. Dammit. More economic refugees fleeing to Texas!

President Fail’s token commie

Posted on February 16, 2016 | 2 comments

The headline is author Kurt Schlichter’s bet on who our Little Barry Hussein will nominate to replace newly-deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. He whose strict constructionism of the increasingly ignored U.S. Constitution has helped keep the Socialist Democrat Party from imposing more nonsense on us than they already have.

“The next president will appoint Justice Scalia’s replacement, and thereby determine whether the Supreme Court will remain a bulwark of liberty or a tool of liberal fascism – that is, assuming that sad sack Mitch McConnell stays sacked up and refuses to allow a vote on whatever token commie Obama decides to nominate.”

The Democrats have always denounced any Republican president’s bid to nominate a justice during a presidential election year. Not that they believe such should apply to them. So it’s up to the Republican majority Senate (and its Obama toady McConnell) to deny what Schlichter calls “President Fail’s Che-loving creep.”

Even if he does, if the Hildabeast or Bernie win the White House, you can bet it’ll be a nominee of similar ilk. Perhaps even Barry Hussein himself. Gasp.

Evolution at work

“The explosion on board Daallo Airlines Airbus A321 at 11,000 feet Tuesday killed the suspected bomber, who was sucked out of the plane…”

Rarely seen, evolution-at-work is a sight to behold.

Ignacio, you vulture

Posted on January 6, 2016 | 3 comments

The vultures are starting to swarm ten weeks after Mrs. Charm’s passing from advanced cancer. Gathering their moldering black wings about them, they peruse the newspaper obituaries looking for grief-befogged suckers.

Their subsequent letters, like a recent one from a fellow Central Texan named Ignacio, start off with the usual meaningless condolences. Then they segue into a promise of quick cash for the house should a survivor decide to sell. At an extremely low-ball offer, no doubt.

Trouble is, Ignacio, you got the address correct to send the letter to but you got the address of the house you’re proposing to buy wrong.

Not sure how you did that. Unless, in addition to being a vulture, you’re also a moron.

Penny from heaven

Posted on November 14, 2015 | Comments Off on Penny from heaven

A good friend of Mrs. Charm, hitting a bar for a stiff one after Mrs. C’s memorial gathering the other night, says she saw a streak of light and a shiny, new 2015 penny at her table that wasn’t there before.

It fits with these older sayings and, even a book, none of which negate her experience. They rather enhance it, to my mind. But then she and I are both believers in the soul, whatever the atheist materialists of modern science say.

Which helps, I suppose. As do these popular offerings.

Burning Jews alive…

Posted on August 9, 2015 | Comments Off on Burning Jews alive…

…is what the Leftists’ precious Palestinians are all about.

“Israelis who kill Muslims are considered pariahs. Muslims who burn Jews to death are glorified as heroes. And there are many such aspiring heroes, eager for a Palestinian Authority salary funded by American and European foreign aid and a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card dispensed by Obama and Kerry….

“But the world is only outraged when Muslims die. It is not outraged when Muslims kill. When Muslims burn Jews or massacre Christians, it shrugs and moves on….”

They want peace? They could have had peace yesterday. They don’t want peace.
