Texas vs. Kansas

Posted on November 15, 2008 | Comments Off on Texas vs. Kansas

I’ve tried, but I can’t really imagine how the 9-1 Longhorns could lose to the 6-4 Jayhawks. Neither can Mr. B., so he’s forsaking the game for cartoons. I am willing to admit that with a) the cold weather in Manhattan, Lawrence, Kan, b) the KU revenge factor, and, especially, c) all the Horns’ injuries, particularly Brian Orakpo, that anything’s possible. Even if it’s no particular contest, I’ll enjoy watching Austin’s boyz do their Saturday work. Burnt Orange Nation still has the fan forum if you’re into that sort of thing. Fun to follow the rants and raves, sometimes.

UPDATE: Texas 14, Kansas 0 at the half. Nice to see Brian is in, after all. KU defense, however, is pretty formidable. Fortunately, so is the Texas D. Saw some sidelines beseeching going on between roommates Colt and Jordan. Wonder what that was about.

FINAL: Texas wins it 35-7. Tough losing Blake Gideon to a possible concussion, though. Later, he checked out okay. No concussion.

Go Sarah go

Posted on November 11, 2008 | Comments Off on Go Sarah go

I would prefer to see her run for president in 2012, but this also makes a certain amount of sense.

Alhough it would be best  for her to ignore the alleged (always anonymous) insiders twisting the knife the pro-Barry Big Media put in her back, continue to be a good governor, add to her political accomplishments, write a bestselling memoir, and form a SarahPAC to raise money for conservative candidates in 2010.

Whatever the sixty-six million who voted for Barry think of her, we in the fifty-eight million who voted for Mac are impressed. And by 2012, at least nine million more could be well fed up with him.

The polls are wrong

Posted on October 22, 2008 | Comments Off on The polls are wrong

Best analysis I’ve seen so far, and there are more than a few out there. Be sure to vote, especially if you’re voting for Mac and Sarah. The drumbeat "news" about Barry’s juggernaut lead is highly suspect, as per usual in the Dems-media symbiosis. Including longtime Dem pollster Zogby International, to mention just one. Followed by this utterly contradtictory AP poll.

Could be the "news" audience is finally catching on. How else to explain this?

Closer to home, the rancho is in a precinct that, in recent years, has been solidly Democrat–unsurprising in Austin’s blue anomaly in a very red state. Yet I have noticed this month quite a number of McCain-Palin lawn signs–a few of them already detached (accidentally?) from their supports. Something is up, and the national polls and the local "news" are not reflecting it.

The truth of the credit crisis

Posted on October 11, 2008 | Comments Off on The truth of the credit crisis

Available, oddly enough, on Saturday Night Live. Which, despite its preference for anti-Republican "humor," is actually here very anti-Democrat. Or was, until host MSNBC did a little cutting. But the original version is here, thanks to Jessica’s Well.

We’ve been flanked!

Posted on September 17, 2008 | Comments Off on We’ve been flanked!

Okay, the comparison to Hitler isn’t necessarily fair (though, sometimes, I wonder), but even the great Thomas Sowell has said the only modern comparison to Baby Barry’s "Yes We Can" cult-of-personality rallies are Hitler’s mass rallies in Nazi Germany. Although even Hitler never pilfered his slogans from Bob The Builder. Still, this is a hoot.

Baby Barry and John Kerry

Posted on July 19, 2008 | Comments Off on Baby Barry and John Kerry

Rasmussen Reports, a favorite among people looking for an objective pollster, finds a curious July polling resemblance between this year’s Dem nominee and the one who lost back in 2004:

"Obama’s support looks a lot like John Kerry’s. The only big difference is that Obama is currently doing about five points better against McCain than Kerry did against George W. Bush. Four years ago, exit polls showed Bush defeating Kerry among white men by a 62% to 37% margin. Today, Obama is doing four points better than that and trails 58% to 37% among white men.

"The tale is the same among white women. Bush won that demographic by eleven percentage points, 55% to 44%. Obama is doing five points better and trails by only six, 48% to 42%. Among non-white females, Obama leads by fifty-four points, up three from Kerry’s margin of fifty-one points. However, Obama lags a bit among non-white males. This year’s presumptive nominee leads by twenty-nine points among that group, down from Kerry’s thirty-seven point margin."

Whatever Old Media would have you believe about BB vs Mac, this summer situation ought to give any supporter of The One concern. Indeed, some of them already are blaming, what else, racism.
