Is Mac inside Barry’s OODA Loop?

Posted on September 2, 2008 | Comments Off on Is Mac inside Barry’s OODA Loop?

Chet Richards, one of the guardians of the theories and memory of the late, great Air Force fighter-pilot and military strategist John Boyd questions this contention of Charlie Martin’s in American Thinker re Mac’s choice of Sarah Palin for veep. Martin uses the term too loosely, suggests CR who says it’s too early to tell. CR’s claim that the pick was predictable, however, is probably unique. No one else I know of expected Mac to pick a woman. I think the old Navy fighter pilot, indeed, has generally been inside Baby Barry’s OODA Loop for some time now with his sharp, quickly-produced teevee ads. Whether he can stay there remains to be seen.

HYPE, The Obama Effect

Posted on August 17, 2008 | Comments Off on HYPE, The Obama Effect

Couple of trailers here worth watching for a new flicker critical of Baby Barry. To criticise this new incarnation of Al Sharpton, without being smeared as racist, you need handsome and articulate black faces, and this flick has plenty of them. Two bestselling critical books & one soon-to-be-released critical movie, so far. Are we at critical mass yet? Do we have liftoff?

UPDATE:  I don’t watch the rube tube, so I missed the kinda, sorta Mac-Baby Barry "debate" last night. I’m still waiting for BB to agree to a face-to-face town hall with Mac. Fat chance.

Palin for veep

Posted on August 15, 2008 | Comments Off on Palin for veep

Finally, I picked the runaway choice (at least at this hour) in an Instapundit poll: Sarah Palin for Mac’s VP. She makes the Repub ticket "exciting," as Baby Barry supposedly is, and being governor of Alaska, she brings executive experience, as well. I would like Lieberman, just because I like him, but he’s a bit of a retread at this point. I also like Giuliani, who I originally favored for the nomination, but he may be too liberal. I just don’t see any downside with Palin, who is a conservative who brings lots of advantages–such as attracting Hilarity’s female base, for one thing.

Oil below $125 a barrel

Posted on July 23, 2008 | Comments Off on Oil below $125 a barrel

Now that’s very good news. Gas prices are sure to follow. Mac’s surely right. We have GWB to thank.

UPDATE: The next day the price climbed to $125.49 a barrel. Not bad at all. Then it closed out the week at $123.89. We’ll take it.

Benefits of McCain presidency

"Susan Sarandon has vowed to leave the country if McCain gets elected."

That’ll more than do for a start, but there’s lots more.

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.

Is Baby Barry Too Young To Be President?

Posted on June 27, 2008 | Comments Off on Is Baby Barry Too Young To Be President?

I clicked on the browser and up comes my Yahoo home page and there in the middle is one of those ads that purports to be a survey, and the question is: "Is McCain Too Old To Be President?" Actually, since Mac, at age seventy-two, is just eight years older than me, I would answer, "No, of course not." The real question, to me, is whether BB, at age forty-six, which is eighteen years younger than me, is too young to be president. And I would answer, "Yep, undoubtedly."
