No plan Obamalot

Posted on August 8, 2011 | Comments Off on No plan Obamalot

Not only did they have no plan for the debt ceiling battle, they have no plan for getting the country back to work. Railing against corporate jets and capitalist greed at a time like this isn’t a plan. It’s idiotic. And this gal cuts loose on them brilliantly.

Israel’s “silent majority” speaks up

Posted on August 4, 2011 | Comments Off on Israel’s “silent majority” speaks up

“This post is mainly for my friends abroad, wherever they are, who may have trouble projecting their beliefs and experiences onto our small but peculiar country….

“It started in a small way, with the cottage cheese boycott. Was it the surprising success of the Facebook-led “uprising” or other reasons, but the unrest spread and continues to spread, expanding into new domains and involving more and more citizens, hitherto inert and apathetic.”

My Israeli pal Snoopy the Goon offers a tentative explanation of the new phenom of Israel’s “silent majority” which has recently hit the streets of Tel Aviv and elsewhere to protest high prices, low influence and, well, my advice is to go here and read it for yourself.

Especially if  you think Israel is only about their decades-old trouble with the intolerant Muslims and the recent dispute with Obamalot.

Tea Party to Obama: Eat your own peas

Posted on August 3, 2011 | Comments Off on Tea Party to Obama: Eat your own peas

Sarah Palin on VP Biden’s latest: calling the Tea Party “terrorists.” Sez Sarah:

“If we were really domestic terrorists, shoot, President Obama would be wanting to pal around with us wouldn’t he? I mean he didn’t have a problem with paling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers apartment, and shaking hands with Chavez and saying he doesn’t need any preconditions with meeting dictators or wanting to read US Miranda rights to alleged suspected foreign terrorists. No if we were real domestic terrorists I think President Obama wouldn’t have a problem with us.”

The 14-century crux of the Arab-Israeli conflict

Posted on August 2, 2011 | Comments Off on The 14-century crux of the Arab-Israeli conflict

Middle East wisdom from Yoram Ettinger, Israel’s onetime consul general in Houston:

“…..the crux of the Arab-Israeli conflict does not depend on Israel or on the Americans. It is a derivative of the Middle East as it has been for 14 centuries. One shouldn’t ignore the fact that for 1,400 years, since the appearance of Islam, there has not been intra-Arab/Moslem peace, intra-Arab/Moslem compliance with intra- Arab/Moslem agreements, intra-Arab/Moslem ratification of all borders and not a single Arab/Moslem democracy.

“Terror has been an integral key element of intra-Arab/Moslem policy. In defiance of such an entrenched reality, some of us wish that the Arabs would bestow upon the Jewish State that which they have yet to accord to one another. I wish that it would be a logical expectation, but it is not.”

It’s the elderly, stupid? Actually, it’s the pols and their media enablers

Posted on August 1, 2011 | Comments Off on It’s the elderly, stupid? Actually, it’s the pols and their media enablers

“We all know that the elderly are by far the wealthiest group of Americans and yet their demands on current and future generations are insatiable…”

The manufactured debt argument between our thieving political elites, who waste our tax money on their pork-barrel spending, has lately turned into repeated attacks on seniors who dare to take Social Security checks, use Medicare, and, worst of all, live past the age of seventy.

Here’s the latest one, boldly claiming that senior “private pleasures” are the cause of the debt problem. Really? We’ve been paying Social Security payroll taxes all of our adult lives (me since my first job in 1960 at age sixteen) so the political elite could steal the money for their cronies and now that they’ve spent it all we deserve nothing?

I plan to vote ALL the incumbents on my ballot OUT next chance I get and I hope other seniors do the same. Especially our adolescent moron of a president.

(As Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, says: “…we have the worst political class we’ve ever had, with the possible exception of the 1850s.”)

Free-floating planets

Posted on July 30, 2011 | Comments Off on Free-floating planets

This is a recurring nightmare of mine, though not so vivid that it was easy to figure out at first. Sounds awful. Icy, for sure, and dark. Yet, if the populace was far-enough advanced to have developed their own renewable heat sources, they might continue to thrive underground. Or so I imagine.
