REFLECTIONS

Okay let me see if I have this straight the people who support a president who can’t talk to 6th graders without a teleprompter are outraged because Gov. Palin wrote speech notes on her hand?  Is that the situtation?  Casue that is so crazy I didn’t even think liberals were capable of it.
Liberals everytime you think they [...]

Obama has doubled spending on certain government agencies and now stands athwart his spending yelling “halt.”  That’s like an alcoholic working himself up to a qt of Tequilla  a day and then saying okay that is just that a qt a day that’s all. 
Is it Nov. Yet?

There is only one possible response to President Obama’s call for a spending freeze.  I am surprised Mark Steyn hasn’t made it.  Sing Out Louise:

For a year President Obama has blamed President Bush for every mistake Obama has made.  President Bush has been demonized by the Democrats far worse than any of the murderous thugs who killed 3,000 people on 9/11.  Just yesterday at the Coakley rally President Bush was demonized and pilloried.  There was no love for Coakley, [...]

Victor Davis Hanson takes a hard look at all the verbotten subjects in the land of free speech.  http://pajamasmedia.com/victordavishanson/truths-we-dare-not-speak/. 
When I remember how General Petraeus was treated by the Democrats in 07 I am still livid.  When I think that two of the Senators that called Gen. Petraeus a liar are now Sec. of Sate and [...]

Well I think so.  But I was rather surprised to find this definition of racism on Ann Althouse’s blog
If by “racist” you mean somebody who would use other people’s feelings about race in a purely instrumental way to amass political power, then Harry Reid is a racist.

If that is the definition of racism then all [...]

Mark Steyn likes saying I told you so even more than I.   Emphasis mine of course  http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/president-227600-obama-war.html
According to one poll, 58 percent of Americans are in favor of waterboarding young Umar Farouk. Well, you should have thought about that before you made a community organizer president of the world’s superpower. The election of Barack Obama [...]

In the first winter Jimmy Carter was President the weather was exactly like right now. While the rest of the country was freezing and being buried by snow, southern California was hot and dry.  The Temperatures were near the 80’s and air so bone dry you skin starts to crackle.   I remember it well because it came [...]

I was reading Mark Steyn’s flaying of the Obama administration’s inept handling of terrorism.   http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/president-226640-states-system.html  I just can’t help but laugh out loud at wonderful lines such as these:
“Condemning the attackers”? What happened to all the allegedly alleged stuff? Shouldn’t that be “condemning the alleged isolated attacker”? The communications director seems to be wandering a bit [...]

Sorry folks I just can’t manage a Happy New Year today.  I have the worst cold I have had since the invention of Zicam nasal zinc swabs.  Because of course our radical leftist POTUS appointed a radical leftist head of the FDA; who forced Zicam to stop making those swaps on the flimsiest of complaints [...]

For the next six weeks the skating press and internet fan groups will speak gleefully of the idea that the Russians will be shut out of the medals in figure skating at the Vancouver Olympics.  Furthermore these groups will continue to insist that the Russian shut out PROVES that the horrific new judging system works as [...]

It is too ironic that Sen. Reid is comparing those opposed to yet another gov’t serfdom plot to the defenders of slavery.  It is too ironic for the Senate Leader of the party that kept power for 150 years only be denying the rights of black Americans to pull the slavery card.  Democrats tore this [...]

It takes a special kind of stupid to imagine that medical care will improve once the government is in charge.  Look at the many and sundry scandals over VA hospitals.  The idea that people will get more and better medical care under a government plan defies all human history, facts, and reason.  But who said [...]

Last night my Brer-Tiger, who is an engineer and has some working familiarity with scientific method, and I were discussing climategate.  I said this is what happens when scientists let themselves become tools of politicians.  Brer- Tiger laughed at that and said it was more likely that the politicians were tools of the scientists.  He [...]

Howdy all –
Have been watching this unfold since Thurs evening on Tony Watts’ “Watts Up With That” website.  All the obvious cautions ought to be observed.  It appears that someone from inside Hadley CRU – essentially the keepers of the climate data worldwide – bundled and released between 156-200 meg [...]

Just last week the World Health Organization started recommending that swine flu patients be given anti-viral medicine at the first sign of flu.  Just last week, and this epidemic has been going on since April.  Fortunately our pediatrician practices medicine instead of politics and doesn’t take his marching orders from government or inter-government agencies.  BurkeanSon [...]

File this under “help my monster got loose and is killing the villagers.”  One of the oh so very brainy way smarter than Sarah Palin could ever be liberals who drafted the stimulus bill is outraged to discover it isn’t working.  http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/11/17/david-obey-slams-obama-administration-for-errors-in-reporting-st/?icid=main|htmlws-main-n|dl1|link4|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicsdaily.com%2F2009%2F11%2F17%2Fdavid-obey-slams-obama-administration-for-errors-in-reporting-st%2F  
 
Obey was a major player in writing the stimulus bill, and said he was [...]
