Don’t mess with Turkish women

Posted on September 4, 2012 | Comments Off on Don’t mess with Turkish women

You could lose your head. Apparently, Turkish women are a lot feistier than even Texas women who are certainly not known for pussyfooting. Why some of the latter even carry guns, and they’re concealed, so you can’t be sure which one might throw down on you, sucker.

Empty Chair Day

Posted on September 3, 2012 | Comments Off on Empty Chair Day

Talk about grass roots effects.

It’s Labor Day for the unions who originally promoted it (or is it about the 25 million unemployed thanks to Reid, Pelosi and Obozo?). But it’s Empty Chair Day for those of us who want rid of Obumbles.

I don’t think this followup to Eastwood’s funny act at the Republican convention was inevitable, but it sure is welcome. Way to go, Clint!

And more mockery, in a spirited and obviously impromptu little song.

Heh

“Eastwood apparently so annoyed the egomaniacal president that the leader of the Free World felt compelled to hit back via Twitter (“this seat is taken”) at the movie star.

“Talk about losing your presidential aura. Empty chair = Obama is now a powerful association. Will the chair be in ads?”

Let’s, uh, to coin a phrase, hope so.

Did he make your day?

Posted on August 31, 2012 | Comments Off on Did he make your day?

He made mine. I enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s eleven and a half minute oration for the GOP convention, including the device of the empty chair with a teleprompter. It was a performance to remember. I watched it here. Sure he faltered a bit now and then in his speech. He’s 82-years-old, after all.

But he told good jokes, especially when he made it clear what he meant when he felt it would be crass to use the actual expletive. Not everyone of us is comfortable using (let alone hearing) the F-word.

And his best line by far was a bit of obvious intelligence to the effect that when someone (i.e. Obumbles) doesn’t do the job, you have to let him go.

UPDATE:  The actual words: “We own this country . . . Politicians are employees of ours . . . And when somebody does not do the job, we’ve got to let them go”

Naturally some of the Democrat media clones didn’t like it. Oh, boo hoo.

Issac catch up

Posted on August 30, 2012 | Comments Off on Issac catch up

Very amusing to watch the, ahem, so-called mainstream media play catch up on Issac’s many feet of rain, after slamming Weather Bell for alleged hyping of the storm which turned out to be “only” a Category 1.

Joe Bastardi, the alleged chief hyper, and his pal Dr. Dewpoint of WB called the heavy rains long before Issac hit southeastern Louisiana. People in NOLA who paid attention to them (instead of, say, CNN) got out before they had to wade out, Bangladeshi-style. Way to go, WB!

Obamacare is about coercion

Posted on August 30, 2012 | Comments Off on Obamacare is about coercion

So I asked Mr. B.’s 40ish pediatrician, when he went in for a physical recently, if she was looking forward to working for the feds under Obamacare. She frowned and said, well, looking on the bright side, she might make more money. Peedees, after all, are not high fliers on the physician food chain.

The problem she foresees is all the extra paperwork she’ll have to hire someone to deal with and the inevitable interference in her medical judgement by, as you might think of the new federal Independent Payment Advisory Board, “fifteen philosopher kings who will rule over U.S. health care.”

Not that Mr. B.’s pediatrician doesn’t already see some of that from the health insurance companies, but she fears it will be much, much worse with the feds who are not known for efficiency in anything and don’t have the profit motive as an incentive. “I just might quit and write a book,” she said.

Can we please get rid of this clown?

Posted on August 27, 2012 | Comments Off on Can we please get rid of this clown?

In my cosmology, all politicians should serve one term, and only one term. And that includes Mittens, if he wins in November. In Obozo’s case, the “forward” on the sign should be “backward,” not only because he and his cronies have screwed up the economy, but because he needs to return to Chicago. Soonest.

As for Obozo, per se, I like this comment at Althouse’s review of the new Dinesh D’Souza movie about him: “How we acquired this Affirmantive Action Communist Jive Talking’ Huckster as President will be written about for generations….”

Well, it was P.T. Barnum, H.L. Mencken, I believe, who said no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
