Bernie Sanders, the bum who wants your money

“The only thing he was good at was talking … non-stop … about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. ‘The whole quality of life in America is based on greed,’ the bitter layabout said. ‘I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.’

“So he tried politics.”

Of course he did. That’s where all the losers wind up. Hey, it worked for our Little Barry Hussein, the community-organizer-in-chief. Not to mention Joey Hairplugs, groper successor to Slick Willie, and the Hildabeast, who is campaigning for president on a plan to  raise our taxes. Just like Bernie.

My Gephyrophobia is easing

Finally, I can take arched bridges with relative ease. Only took, well, since about 1980. That’s, uh, 35 years or thereabouts. Have yet to try the one to Corpus, however.

Got to do it most days to get up the Highway 183 overpass, north of the rancho, so I’ve had plenty of practice staring at the white lines instead of looking from side to side. Now I can look over the side. Long as I’m not too close, of course.

I still try to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Some phobias never die.

Omar, you naughty boy

“Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, who came to Houston from Iraq in 2009, was indicted last week on three charges, including attempting to provide support to a designated terrorist organization. He pleaded not guilty to all three charges during a court appearance on Wednesday.”

Another lone wolf, so called. The main charge was planning to bomb a Houston shopping mall. Much more logical target than Wall Street, I must admit.

About time we got back to the plus-sized models that are my favorites. Tara’s a start.

America’s greatest gun salesman*

Our Barry Hussein made a big announcement today of nothing much new about gun control. It was a king’s decree, the kind presidents (particularly this one) like best ’cause they can skip the hard work of negotiating with Congress.

“Never mind that he couldn’t get a Democrat-controlled Congress to pass any of these proposals. Never mind that none of the mass shooters got their firearms from a gun show or the kind of casual seller that these regulations target. Just as the drunk looks for his lost keys under the streetlight because that’s where the light is, Obama focuses his energies where it is easiest.”

Energies? The former leader of the Choom Gang? That the courts may later overrule him is a chance Wormtongue is willing to take to make a piddling media splash. Then it’s back to another round of golf and the permanent vacation.

UPDATE: *”Shares of Smith & Wesson jumped 11 percent Tuesday [Jan. 5], to $25.86, when the president unveiled his new plan for expanding background checks on gun sales, while Sturm, Ruger & Co.’s stock climbed nearly 7 percent, to $65.54.”  Via PJMedia.

MORE: “Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it.” Not in our Barry Hussein’s case, there isn’t.

Teach Texas women not to rape 2

Seems like only yesterday. It was Dec. 9, actually, we were recounting a legislative committee’s finding that some Texas women high school teachers are having trouble avoiding sexually abusing students: statutory rape it’s called.

Comes now Haeli Wey, a former math teacher at posh Westlake High School on Austin’s prosperous west side, who faces up to 20 years in prison for not one, but two, second-degree felony charges of sex with 17 year olds.

You know a convicted male teacher would get the max time. Haeli certainly should, too. Then maybe this growing epidemic of Texas women teacher rapists would at least diminish, eh?

The Democrat gun grab

“So how do liberals get their wish for a disarmed, subservient population? They don’t.”

Heh.
