Hating Trump

Posted on March 6, 2016 | 4 comments

Boy, the liberals and the RINOs really, really hate Trump. And. oh yeah, they don’t like his closest rival, our Ted, either. The liberals of course want the Hildabeast and her consort Slick Willie in the White House. The RINOs act like, if they can’t have Jeb to continue the Bush dynasty, they’d just as soon forgo an election and hand the Hildabeast the crown.

I think the real reason for Trump’s popularity is the growing number of Americans on both sides who hate D.C., PC, more federal regulations, more welfare, and higher taxes. And I don’t believe that they or Trump are any more fascist than our Little Barry Hussein is a Muslim. That’s good old American political hysteria in action. And that’s all it is.

The Expanse

Posted on March 6, 2016 | 3 comments

On a good tip from JD, I bought the first nine-episode season of a new SyFy channel series called The Expanse, an adaptation of a cool series of books by two Arizona guys who go by one author  name, James S.A. Corey.

Hard to understand the dialogue in the first 45-minute episode. Have to figure how to get the closed captions up on the screen, but I know the basic story and the hardware and graphics are cool. The books were a lot of fun. The sixth one, Babylon’s Ashes, is due out in August.

The tv product looks good so far. Is this the next big thing? The first cool scifi-in-space-series in a while? Space ships! Space Stations! People in space! Thanks, JD.

East of Eden is Melvin

Posted on March 5, 2016 | 3 comments

According to Genesis in the Torah, east of Eden is where the Lord placed cherubim and a flaming, flashing sword to keep the banished Adam and Eve from returning to the Garden of Eden after they defiantly ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Not evil. Evil is a Christian interpretation.

Later in the text East of Eden also becomes the Land of Nod where Cain is exiled after slaying his brother Abel. And, in recent times, East of Eden is the name of several movies and a novel Penguin concluded is a 20th century classic. Well, Oprah liked it.

But, in Texas at least, Eden is west of Brady on US Highway 87, and well south of Paint Rock on US 83. Actually, it’s exactly west of a smaller town called Melvin, which sports a trophy whitetail (deer) hunting ranch. So, Texana-wise, Melvin is east of Eden. Somehow that’s been left out of the other accounts.

Not to mention there’s also a garden in Eden, Texas, probably several, including the plots at the Eden Detention Center. The center is a for-profit federal prison whose inmates constitute about half the 2,766 population of Eden, according to the 2010 census. And Eden is only a few miles northeast of the exact center of Texas. 

No cherubim or flaming swords, though, off to the east. Certainly not in Melvin. At least not the last time Mrs. Charm and I were there, way back in ’93. Could a changed, though.

Hired a Muslim nanny?

Posted on February 29, 2016 | 2 comments

Might be a good time to reconsider.

Not that anyone’s said the murderess is a Muslim. But she was dressed in three-quarter Ninja (all but the veil) and reportedly shouting “allahu akbar” as she paraded on a Moscow street carrying a toddler’s severed head. Draw your own conclusion. I’ve drawn mine.

Naturally, the Russian police are stumped as to a motive.

Via Drudge Report

UPDATE:  The murderess is under no such delusion.

No Worries

You see this phrase a lot in texts. Sometimes in emails. The meaning is obvious. Or is it?

My question is, is it really from Australia? And if so, how did it become an artifact of the email/texting technology? A part of Internet slang.

Just because it’s short?

Well?
