House of Lies

Posted on September 26, 2011 | Comments Off on House of Lies

I gotta like the Israeli PM for having the guts to stand up in the Dictator’s Club and tell them all what they really are and where they really do their supercilious thing: In the “house of many lies.” Too true. What a pity the dream of a peacekeeping body has so degenerated in such a short time, and that more than a quarter of its spendthrift ways come from our taxes. Bah.

Obama is stupid

Posted on September 22, 2011 | Comments Off on Obama is stupid

Obama without his teleprompter really is not that smart. Could be doctored stuff here but doesn’t sound like it. There’s a whole page of these videos there that refute the Lamestream Media notion that this guy is a genius. Although trying to raise taxes in a recession/depression is proof enough of  dumb.

Not to mention buying his wife $42,000 worth of diamonds. So timely.

Better go see a few of the videos before YouTube takes them down. Maybe this is why the affirmative action president won’t release his college grades. Maybe he didn’t get even the C averages of the silver-spoon boys, Al Gore and Bush Jr. Ya think?

The Texas Mezuzah law

Posted on September 20, 2011 | Comments Off on The Texas Mezuzah law

Gov. Rick Perry is getting the credit in Israel for a new Texas law prohibiting property owner association restrictions of religious displays that don’t otherwise violate the law.

But all that Perry did was perform a governor’s option by signing the bill into law in June. Houston state rep Garnet Coleman actually wrote the bill and got his colleagues to pass it—spurred by a Houston couple’s complaint that a condominium association had prevented them from attaching a Mezuzah (jocularly known as the Jewish lightning rod) to their unit’s front doorpost.

Libelling the Employee of the Month

Posted on September 18, 2011 | Comments Off on Libelling the Employee of the Month

Hot new research (they really use tax money for this poop?) on sixty (count ’em) toddlers at the University of Virginia has been misinterpreted by the  Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg News:

“The Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg have taken this to mean that a zany show like SpongeBob essentially makes kids dumb…but that’s not what the study concludes at all.”

The Los Angeles Times misunderstanding a science story? Quelle surprise!

Texas: Fourteenth most free of the states

Posted on September 17, 2011 | Comments Off on Texas: Fourteenth most free of the states

William Ruger, a political science professor at Texas State University down the road in San Marcos, is the co-author of a new study by the Mercatus Center of George Mason University in Virginia which explains why so many Americans are moving to places like New Hampshire, South Dakota, Indiana, Idaho and Missouri.

They are the top five states in  “Freedom in the 50 States, An Index of Personal and Economic Freedom.” They’re drawing new residents from places like New York, New Jersey, California, Hawaii and Massachusetts—the bottom five in the index because their laws and regulations impose the most restrictions on economic, social and personal freedom.

Texas came in fourteenth, after the top five and the next eight: Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Virginia, North Dakota, Florida, Oklahoma (!) and Iowa. Not something Gov. Rick Perry is likely to be crowing about as he seeks the Republican nomination for the presidential monarchy, but it helps explain why so many Californicators have been moving here in recent years.

Batman at the bema

Posted on September 11, 2011 | Comments Off on Batman at the bema

“Back in the 1930′s, it made some sense for Bruce Wayne, scion of one of Gotham’s finest families, to be a WASP. But look around NYC and see whose names are on the hospital, university and theater buildings. Don’t get us wrong…Batman has to be named Bruce Wayne. But who’s to say he wasn’t named after his great-grandfather, Baruch Wien?”

Humor by Heeb.
