Another Day, Another Allahu Akbar

Posted on July 19, 2016 | Comments Off on Another Day, Another Allahu Akbar

“The interior of the train was soaked in blood. . . . One thing is certain, he wasn’t kidnapped in Afghanistan and dragooned around the world to Germany. He came voluntarily, and either was a terrorist-in-waiting all the while, or else was radicalized by traumatic exposure to Western culture. The public policy issue implicated by such attacks is, of course, immigration.”

Nineteen wounded, three critically. Meanwhile, our little Barry Hussein is bringing them here by the planeload. Diversity, when it means more Muslims, is not our strength.

The Hildabeast would double down. We need Trump or we’re doomed.

Ban Air Conditioning in Federal Buildings

Posted on July 16, 2016 | Comments Off on Ban Air Conditioning in Federal Buildings

What a, uh, cool idea. Idea being that the feds got so big and so out-of-control because of air conditioning. If those mausoleum-style office buildings of theirs were sweat factories, there’s be a whole lot less interest in occupying them.

Besides, eliminating air-conditioning (or making it so expensive that it effectively eliminates it) is what Wormtongue’s administration is after with its bans on coal and oil for producing electricity. All in the name of combating dubious climate change. The Democrat wing of the ruling class should set a good example for the rest of us. Believe it when you see it? Me too.

UPDATE:  Instead, Lurch wants to ban our air-conditioning. Of course he does. A threat to the planet, doncha know. Not his, you understand. Not the air conditioners of the ruling class. Oh, no. Just ours.

A new name for our little Barry Hussein, in case you’re tired of me using olBH. Although I still like Wormtongue best because it fits the lying, dividing, halfrican scamp so well.

My free ebooks from Amazon

Posted on June 23, 2016 | Comments Off on My free ebooks from Amazon

I got an email recently informing me I now have $180 in free gift card money from Amazon for buying ebooks. It was my “share” of a class action lawsuit by 33 attorneys general against Apple for price-fixing Amazon ebooks with five major publishers.

Not that I had anything to do with the suit. I’m happy with the result. I already bought a $10 book for free. But the big payoff the lawyers took home—$50 million—would have gone a lot farther. Oh, well, no surprise. I didn’t do the legal work and they did. A little disproportionate, considering I was probably out more than $180. But I did get to read the books.

And I still have $170 left to spend.

Promoting inequality: the college barrier

Posted on June 6, 2016 | 2 comments

Instapundit is pretty savvy for a law school professor.He sees the college game for what it is, a barrier against the poor’s chances of rising above their station. Yes, even in America.

Wormtongue says he wants to send everyone to college. That might work. When all have the degree it will be pretty worthless. Except then, even more than now, where you got it would reconstitute the barrier.

Sure the Ivy League is a big deal even today but that has its limits. I tell Mr. B. that as a native Texan he should play that for all it’s worth in Texas, the land of opportunity compared to the rest of the country’s economic blight thanks to the Democrat Party.

But when it comes to Yale or Harvard the natives here really don’t give a shit. They are far more impressed by a Texas school, public or private. And inequality? Shoot, the poor have always been with us.

The murderer vs the clown

Posted on May 2, 2016 | 2 comments

Much as I despise Andrew Sullivan, that crowd-following anti-Semite who’s played catcher far too long, his latest at least provides a springboard for chat—thanks to Althouse.

“…one is exciting, risky, and entertaining. The other is dreary, predictable, and medicinal.” Medicinal with unknown but probably deadly side-effects.

Ambassador Stevens could not be reached for comment. And I think (see the comments at the blogfather’s) even he would vote for the clown over the Uterus.

UPDATE:  Now that the Trumpet is the presumptive nominee, the Democrat news media behemoth is awakening from its eight years of slumber. “The knives are being sharpened as we speak.”

At Mizzou it’s all about powah

Posted on November 11, 2015 | 8 comments

The protesters have it. The powah. Temporarily at least. Having ousted a university president. And they intend to hang onto it and remake the University of Missouri into Ferguson II.

A few local sportwriters I generally respect and one I consider a friend have written in support of the mostly-black Mizzou football team’s boycott threats, but I doubt even they won’t feel the need to retreat if this thing keeps getting out of hand.

Whatever the protesters believe, this ain’t the 1960s. That was so 45 years ago. And penny-ante bad words and possible hoaxes aren’t going to turn anyone into their allies forever. Even powah is fleeting. Ask any politician who’s ever had it for a while.

But, really, none of this is surprising. The American university died long ago. Done in by political correctness, micro-aggressions, and, increasingly, full-bore anti-Semitism.

UPDATE:  Tennessee law prof Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, would raise the voting age to 25. I’d go for thirty, except for those in military service who could vote at 18.

MORE:  Then they threw another tantrum when the Paris massacre drew media attention away from them. I’m sure they’ll be able to explain away the Muslim slayings.
