Saturday evening grip challenge

The Slim lever. For what it’s worth, I haven’t tried this yet. But I did just hoist the 37.5# York blob with both hands. — Which, believe it or not, is pretty freakin’ sweet.

RIP, Macho Man

A Friday reminder

[for American Jewish Democrats.] If your girl’s kisses make you feel weak in the knees, she may be a vampire. — Richard Brautigan, “profound saying 3”

"Dem Sen. Schumer Comes to Gingrich’s Defense"

Well, only in order to paint the modern GOP as extreme, by the standards of the 1990s. It never even occurs to Schumer that, rather than the party moving to the right, Gingrinch — who signed on to the global warming scam, vociferously defends ethanol subsidies, and seems not to understand the Constitutional problem of an individual mandate (unlike Heritage, which changed positions some years ago) — may have drifted

Bibi Netanyahu to Obama: With all due respect Mr President, please blow me.

Sure, I’m paraphrasing. But that’s about the gist of it. Thank the lord. Turns out not everybody thinks negotiating with a terrorist organization like Hamas — who has declared that you have no right even to exist — is such a swell idea. Mr Obama’s desire to legitimize them (along with the Muslim Brotherhood) notwithstanding. Of course, now Obama has positioned Israel as the central obstacle to peace in the

He now makes a speech and everyone hears exactly what they fully expect him to say, even when those things are diametrically opposed, or orthogonal to each other. Example Example Example

Not sure what to make of this, but listening to the radio just now, I heard “Bibi” call in and dedicate the following to “BHO”: May you always live in interesting times…

"The union label stifles growth and jobs"

Washington Examiner: Businesses often consider government interference when they make decisions about where to locate. One instance of such interference is the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, which established a regimen of special treatment for labor during an era when nearly one in three employees were union members. Today, unions have lost relevance for more than 93 percent of American workers in the private sector, but the distortions of

Allies!

— And how to fuck them. Obama: “the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines.” You know, back before the last time the Arab world attacked Israel unprovoked. I hope this finally awakens American Jews, whose unwavering commitment to voting Democrat is based on the same need to feel accepted by intellectuals as is Obama’s desire to appease Arabs and legitimize their anti-semitism as a

Chickens roosting

When you’re a leftist President and you lose both Cornel West and Peter Fonda, you’ve lost your base. That you’ve done so because you are playing chess while Fonda and West — truly, cartoons of academic and cultural leftism — are playing checkers, just reinforces how truly brilliant you are. Plus, you can now sell yourself as a centrist. So. Carry on.
