The science is settled

Posted on December 12, 2011 | Comments Off on The science is settled

Obviously, someone didn’t get the memo. Pelosi, et al, are shocked. Truly shocked. What do you mean, real science is never settled? Not to the Donks.

Too tricky, Rick

Posted on December 11, 2011 | Comments Off on Too tricky, Rick

I’ve read the liberal whoop-de-do about Gov. Rick Perry’s supposedly anti-gay campaign ad, Strong.

It’s the usual, predictable misinterpretation. Watch it for yourself at the link. You’ll notice, unless you’re the hysterical type, that he doesn’t, in fact, say that he’s opposed to gays serving in the military.

He only says that if they can do that, as controversial as it is to some people, why cannot Christmas be mentioned in the public schools? I agree, except that, uh, it is mentioned, at least here in Austin, Rick’s hometown. They just call Christmas vacation Winter Break, and I don’t have a problem with that. I wouldn’t like to see manger scenes at school. That would be going too far.

But when Rick drags in the idea that kids, of whatever religion (but Christian by implication), should be praying in schools, well, that’s where our governor-for-life crosses my line. But here again he isn’t specific. We can assume he means organized prayer, but he doesn’t say that. Way too tricky, Rick.

Our pals the Saudis

Posted on December 10, 2011 | Comments Off on Our pals the Saudis

Unless, of course, you’re a Christian or a Jew. Then, as with most Muslim fundies, you’re either an Ape or a Swine. That’s what the Saudis teach/brainwash their schoolchildren.

Even, ahem, in their schools in the USA and everywhere else. But that’s okay. They have the oil. We do, too, actually, but our Saudi-bought-and-paid-for pols refuse to use it. Including old Hopey Changey, who recently killed our inclusion in a new oil pipeline from Canada.

Allegedly for Green reasons. It’s a good cover, anyhow. Although, remembering President Golf Shoe’s deep bow to the Saudi king, W holding hands with the king, and reports that Bush Sr. gets big Saudi bucks for his presidential library, this corruption is definitely bipartisan.

The Food Stamp President

Posted on December 9, 2011 | Comments Off on The Food Stamp President

I would have preferred a woman or minority candidate to take on Obamalot next year, as I fear that even with high unemployment the country has simply gone too far PC to let a white guy replace the Tan Man.

But Gingrich, at least, is a ferocious debater and an equal-opportunity insulter. “The food stamp president,” indeed. Not to mention proponent of Muslim dictators—so long as they are freely elected. As was Hitler, BTW.

Newt may not be the best possible guy, indeed, the GOP and Washington—mostly liberal—establishments don’t like him. But maybe that’s a good thing. As long as he does a credible imitation of a floor mop, I’ll vote for him—anybody would be better than President Golf Shoe.

UPDATE:  Gingrich does have the candor most politicians lack, such as calling the Palestinians the fakes they are and the “peace process” as bogus as it is. And I gotta like any conservative Peggy Noonan finds “disturbing.”

Why Iran won’t build nukes

Posted on December 7, 2011 | Comments Off on Why Iran won’t build nukes

Or so says Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, because, despite the war drums getting louder and louder….

“What can Iran do with a nuclear weapon?” he asked rhetorically. “For example, will they hit Israel? How many Palestinians will die? And you think if Iran hits Israel, their cities will be safe? They will be gone the next day.”

Makes sense, as far as it goes, especially coming from someone whose country is just fifty miles across the Persian Gulf from Iran. But do the Persian Mullahs have any sense? They haven’t made much so far.
