Barry’s intentions

Posted on September 11, 2008 | Comments Off on Barry’s intentions

In the verbal rugby at my OCS email group over why we should/should not vote for Barry, his champions have turned to CAPITAL LETTERS to express their indignation that the establishment media is wasting time over Barry’s "allegedly" calling Sarah a pig, when it should be discussing "the issues." Good Dems always get exercised when the MSM steps (oh, so, momentarily) outside its habit of criticizing Republicans to criticize one of their nobles. It certainly is one of the few, if not the only times, the sycophantic media has questioned His Holiness.

I side with Treacher on this one. Barry certainly did mean to call Sarah a pig, and his audience certainly picked it up that way. Just as he meant to give Hillary the finger back in the spring when she dared to criticize him in a debate. He folds under pressure. Not a good sign for a wouldbe president. Moreover, after twenty years in the pews of his racist Chicago church, Barry’d probably like to whack Whitey a lot more than he has. But he knows that he can’t do that and get elected. So he allows himself to wallow in the safer mud of sexism. As for "the issues," that’s the standard Dem dodge, only trotted out when they seem to be in danger of losing. As, indeed, they certainly are. Surprise, surprise.

Sarah’s self-destruction?

Posted on September 8, 2008 | Comments Off on Sarah’s self-destruction?

That’s among the loopier ideas flowing into my OCS email group from the Barry supporters, of which there only seem to be four at the moment. One of them sees the odds of this startling event as 50/50. Perhaps the veteran Alaska politician is to be driven mad by the unsubstantiated rumors of the establishment media thugs? Another fellow is hearing buzz in his circles about "a coup and martial law," apparently to stop Barry from winning the White House.

So it goes, in what seems to be the beginnings of a goofy reprise of the Dem paranoia of 2004, when "I still have the hat" Kerry came under effective video fire from the POWs and Swiftboaters. This time, Mac the old fighter pilot, has outturned their jet by picking a fresh-but-tough young governor to compete with their tired-old-dog of a veep, strafed their canopy, and popped off an AIM-9 into their six.

For the moment the polls agree, showing Mac and Sarah ten points ahead. Can it last? I think so. Barry never had much going for him but excitement and Sarah’s stolen that from under his nose. Is it too late for the Dems to avoid derangement by learning some respect? Time will tell.

UPDATE: FWIW, Gallup is still finding a boost for Mac–now with a fifteen percent climb to take a majority of Independents.

Boycott Oprah?

Posted on September 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Boycott Oprah?

That’s the word from some of her fan base who are–one-hundred-nine (and counting) pages worth of mostly complaints here–incensed at the queen of tears’ decision not to invite Sarah to her crying couch, like she did with Obambi before she endorsed him. Although Sarah is much too upbeat for Oprah’s trademark tears and whining. See what messin’ in politics can do for you, Oprah? Cost you money and credibility, that’s what. There’s even a petition to the gal from Kosciusko, MS.

Via The Fat Guy.

Fresh Bilge: Palin vs Obama

Posted on September 4, 2008 | Comments Off on Fresh Bilge: Palin vs Obama

Alan Sullivan, the Seablogger, is a good writer and thinker. I don’t always agree with him, but I always enjoy reading him. But this time he outdid his usual good work, so I’m posting it. An excerpt:

"The cultural contrasts of Obama and McCain are stark enough, but those of Palin and Obama are even more revealing, because these two are contemporaries: their clash will define America in the Twenty-First Century, while Biden and McCain are figures from a receding past. From this point on, it will really be Palin versus Obama. And she will win, because she is a formed and grounded grownup, while Obama is only a character in his own memoir."

Read the whole thing. Unless you dislike Palin. In which case, what are you doing here?

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.

Bold Obamacles, with ears like a stately urn’s

Posted on September 1, 2008 | Comments Off on Bold Obamacles, with ears like a stately urn’s

Iowahawk does this rather well, for a car nut:

Speak to me, O Muse, of this resourceful man
who strides so boldly upon the golden shrine at Invescos,
Between Ionic plywood columns, to the kleig light altar.
Fair Obamacles, favored of the gods, ascends to Olympus
Amidst lusty tributes and the strumming lyres of Media;
Their mounted skyboxes echo with the singing of his name
While Olbermos and Mattheus in their greasy togas wrassle
For first honor of basking in their hero’s reflected glory.
Who is this man, so bronzed in countenance,
So skilled of TelePrompter, clean and articulate
whose ears like a stately urn’s protrude?
So now, daughter of Zeus, tell us his story.
And just the Cliff Notes if you don’t mind,
We don’t have all day.

And so on, and so forth… (it gets funnier)
