Rule 5: Garter belts

And who better to show off these accouterments than our old favorite Betty Brosmer. Do women wear these things any more? A serious shame if not.

It’s fun to watch Longhorns football again

Although, in truth, I almost fell asleep late in the fourth quarter. But only because it was after midnight (that 3-hour lightning delay) and the Texas D was still “steamrolling TCU” as they had all night. Even when Case threw two stupid interceptions, the Frogs couldn’t capitalize because the Texas D simply wouldn’t let them.

Now doormat Kansas should be a gimme next Saturday and probably West Virginia the week after that and maybe OK State the following weekend and even Texas Tech on Thanksgiving. Baylor, we are told, is a powerhouse this year but in truth they haven’t played a good team. If they join the Horns in beating Oklahoma next week, it’ll be time to get impressed and, maybe, worry.

But even if that happens it’s fun to watch Longhorns football again. Something I haven’t been able to say since 2009.

Civil Rights passed thanks to a Republican

President Creep, the Great Divider, is always yammering on and on about the evil Republicans who, supposedly, want every minority American to fail, etc., etc.

Yet his Democrat party clings to 1964, as if the passage of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act, the first of its kind, was still in jeopardy—and always because of the perifidious Republicans.

In fact, it was the perfidious Democrats who almost shot down the law that banned segregation in stores (“Whites Only,” etc.) and other “public accommodations” for the first time.

The Act was saved and finally passed thanks to a Republican. Which is why Dr. King remained a Republican right up until his murder.

Just one more inconvenient fact the Democrats—historically the party of slavery, racial and ethnic segregation and the Ku Klux Klan—would like Americans to forget. While their short-sighted, corrupt policies continue to prolong the worst economy in decades. Which is, of course, disproportionately hurting minority Americans.

UPDATE:  But don’t tell MSNBC, which is busy attacking Ted Cruz. Not that I would since I have never watched that particular network, or whatever it is. The old NBC, the Democrat Party operative—whose star coined the phrase “greatest generation” for the homophobic, segregationist, anti-Semitic World War II generation—was bad enough.

My Sharia Amour

Just a little late to the party, but I really like these Mark Steyn parody lyrics to the old George Benson wheezer.

My Sharia Amour, pretty little girl in your chador.

One of only four that I beat sore. How I wish that I had five.

My Sharia Amour, I got her from an imam in Lahore

In her burqa, this chick could take away your breath

But don’t even glance, or I’ll have to have her stoned to death

Allah-la-la-la-la, Allah-la-la-la-la

I’m like Bernie, I guess, just can’t get enough of mocking the goat lovers. (Altho he goes a lot farther, calling them camel humpers and dune-coons.) Seems fair since we’re going to have to be putting up with their religious war for another century or so—while our feckless pols try to explain it away as “a religion of peace.”

Say what you will about religious violence in general, Islam is the only one that specifically requires husbands to beat their wives.

But I’m sure mockery is  a lot easier when you’re not living in their direct line of fire.

The President works for us

So says astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, easily the most impressive space lobbyist since Carl Sagan, who was not in fact very interested in people-in-space. Tyson is, passionately.

He wants—among other things—to solve our economic and unemployment problems by doubling NASA’s budget. Lots of people would sneer (do sneer) at that, but he’s right about the broad economic stimulus of space exploration. And as impressive as SpaceX and other private space commerce is becoming, it’s not enough.

Space exploration is so much more economically powerful than handing out trillions of dollars to phony solar cell and electric car companies and other Democrat cronies. Or Republican ones, for that matter. Gingrich wanted a base on the moon. Romney sneered. We’re lucky he didn’t get elected, but the one we got is no better and in some ways worse. And I doubt he thinks he works for us.

Tyson notes in his talk at the link above, very accurately I think, that if the Chinese decided to build a military base on the moon, we would have a  moon base within nine months. No more 20-years-to-Mars nonsense. I hope they do it, so we can. In the meantime we can dream along with Tyson and hope Obozo listens to him, too, insofar as he listens to anyone. Someday.

Rule 5: Hillary Fisher

You’re going to do a lot of scrolling to see all of this one. I grappled (so to speak) with that problem. To the extent I am able. As one of my rare commenters, Darkwater, says, memory is the second thing that goes as you drop into final approach on the Psalmist’s seventh decade. Indeed. Alas.

Shut up, he explained

“This morning, His Majesty magnanimously took some time out of his busy day to perform his most important task as King of America: Condemning the common rabble who resist his will.”

That Barry, what a troll. Er, card.
