Mr. B.’s Rangers cap

He bought the cap figuring the Rangers would get back into the World Series again and, just maybe, this time they’d win it. Third time charm and all that.

Instead, they bombed out of the playoffs, homer-hitter Josh Hamilton was booed and may not be back next year and, suddenly, the cap has sentimental value only.

Mr. B. still wears it but now it reminds me of all the years the stRangers faded after the All Star Break. Even TFG, possibly their most loyal fan within a thousand-mile radius of San Antone, isn’t talking about the meltdown of 2012.

The Phony-in-Chief

Since his stupefying debate loss, Barry has taken to calling Mittens a phony and a liar. Now, that’s psychological projection on a grand scale, as economist-commentator Thomas Sowell shows.

“If you want to know what community organizers do, this is it — rub people’s emotions raw to hype their resentments. And this was Barack Obama in his old community organizer role, a role that should have warned those who thought that he was someone who would bring us together, when he was all too well practiced in the arts of polarizing us apart.”

Of course it helped that the Democrat news media was busy defaming Sarah Palin, her husband and her children, so they didn’t have time (had they the inclination, which was unlikely) to truly examine the half-black novelty act running for president.

Next up for Barry’s re-election campaign (we can be sure) the incendiary  racism charge they’ve been saving for the last week or so. Bet they’d love a riot or two.

UPDATE:  Have to say that Barry’s bizarre choice of vice president, Joey Hairplugs, the premier buffoon of the Democrat Party, outdid his boss Thursday night (Oct. 11) bullying, snickering, sneering, smirking, and generally making an old fool of himself in the “debate” with Republican Paul Ryan.

Some people now think old Joey may have a bipolar disorder. Naw, he’s just a pathetic idiot who’s been living off the government teat his whole life. You go guys! Watching you two clowns go down in flames on election day will be a pure pleasure.

Hebrew bloopers

Time for a break from all this politics. Liat Collins’ Hebrew fails in the Jerusalem Post qualifies as a break. With smiles, no less:

“A colleague thinking out of the box submitted this memory of a woman standing in line at the supermarket, preparing to have her groceries delivered. Since she was worried about them being crushed, she ordered: ‘Ten li od orgazim.’ You can figure out for yourselves what she said (albeit incorrectly). What she meant was “Give me more boxes (argazim).’”

Many more here. (I hope the link works without a subscription.)

My fav Romney ad

Move the U.N. to Detroit

Capital idea. The U.N., better known as the dictator’s club, would feel right at home in a city even its police describe as a war zone which newcomers should enter at their own risk. Next time the thugs of Iran come calling to speechify and threaten Israelis with nuclear death, they’ll be in their true element. And maybe, just maybe, they won’t get out of town alive.

Barry’s lemonade stand

“David Viger says Obama’s tax and regulatory policies have hurt and in some cases shut down local businesses. The 61-year-old auto repair shop owner says he is eager to vote for Romney.

“’Romney is a successful businessman. Obama is not,’ Viger said. ‘Obama has no clue on how to run a business. Obama couldn’t run a lemonade stand.’”

Indeed. Obozo is one lemon you cannot make lemonade with.
