Congress is back in session. The Tea Party candidates are supposed to be a force to be reckoned with. The Republicans promise to change from the “change”. Dare we hope?
Will they or won’t they?

OK, good night all.
What strikes me is not that leftism does not work, but that when it is indulged and doesn’t work, its beneficiaries scream at the unfairness of it all—in the fashion that a theorist who claimed 2 plus 2 equals 5 blames the construct of mathematics because his equation is not true. Why don’t Germans just give Greeks the hundreds of… Read more »
I remember both David Benzion, David Jennings, and Texpat (especially the former two in terms of frequency) explicitly mentioning on lone star Times, and DJ has carried this message to his own Big Jolly Politics website, the need for Republicans to gain minority votes for future victories. This is especially true of the hispanic vote. Well, consider the following: Through… Read more »

1st Comment: US approves new trial of embryonic stem cells US biotech company Advanced Cell Technology said Monday it was cleared by the government to start its second trial using human embryonic stem cells to treat blindness, this time in older people. Now, what is it about the social liberals that makes them so fixated on embryonic stem cell usage?… Read more »
It’s late so time is short.
The L. A. (Los Angeles, not Lower Alabama) Times reports that the White House has lost substantial market valuation since the current occupants moved in. It does not however seem to try to explain why, so I suppose we are left to draw our own conclusions as to how neighborhoods decline.

Actually it was a picture of governor Moonbeam Brown being sworn in that made me think of that song.
People say I’m crazy.
I think they’re the crazy ones. But hey, that’s just me.

Does the “R” on the liar’s super-suit stand for Rollins Band, or is it perhaps a different “R” such as discussed here on Hammy’s Couch recently?
Word on the street is there will be no more swearing in ceremonies for newly elected politicians–They will now just lip sync and karaoke to this.
Ok, under the heading “Life is Short” I just found out that someone I knew in high school died. He was not a friend of mine and he was a year younger than me, but he was a good friend of my younger “Sidekick” at the TV Shop. FWIW; He married “Sidekick’s” Sister. He had a 1970 Dodge Challenger 318… Read more »

Regarding the “‘Group Of Youth’ Causes Disruption At Mayfair Mall In Wauwatosa” report:
I wonder of hose spirited youth question their parent’s authority or embrace the message of songs sung by youth about, oh, let’s say, “obey you parents” and “respect authority”? Hmmmmmmm, the mystery of it all.
Pigford = reparations I thought the 112th congress didn’t start until Wednesday. I was feeling safe for a day or so there, but if it is already in session, I’d better go hide. Will we raise the debt ceiling and trigger a default, or will we wait for the Chinese to call the note and trigger a default. Personally, I’d… Read more »
#56 wagonburner, Hmm, is this a prevent defense emgerging? I understand those can be disastrous. In this case bring on the disaster, preferably in a Congressional hearing. Anybody seen Al recently?
House to vote to repeal Obamacare on January 12.
Good start, but it doesn’t cut any spending.
People like Army Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta are why the US is the greatest country in the world.
AGW Activist 1: Waaaaahhhhh!!! They won’t listen to our message about how we’re all doomed and stuff because of

Some marvelous pix, thanks for sharing.
And if John Bolton is part of that Vast Right Wing Conspiracy thats out to get Joe Straus, thats not necessarily a bad thing.
In addition to Mike Huckabee and Dick Armey, Ken Paxton has picked up another endorsement from someone who really is a Proven Conservative Leader Ambassador (John) Bolton released the following statement: ”I am happy to announce my support for Ken Paxton as the next Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives. This is a significant office for all Texans, and… Read more »
Micheal Steele and Joe Straus—-bringers of Republican Victory!
Because some folks think that if you’re stupid enough to beleive one of them did, you’re stupid enough to beleive the other one did, too.
I got this in the mail box; Incredible Space Pictures from NASA Astronaut Colonel Douglas Wheelock. Stunning! 😀
I have a box full of 2-track 1/4 inch tapes from my radio daze with some “wet your britches funny” stuff, but lack access to a compatible machine to play them. Fortunately one of my old friends does, and sent me an MP3 of one of my faves today. There was a station in the market that was so pitiful… Read more »
You forgot the required disclaimer:
Not that there is anything wrong with that. 😉
Golly Adee.
We’ve been told that there is no grassroots support for dumping Straus. Its as a result of a well funded Right Wing Conspiracy or something—–
#45 Bones, talk to my gal pals. 😉
#24 Sarge, Nope. Just one of millions of Americans fed up with the insane spending, shred the Constitution leftward lurch, idiocy cloaked in compassion for anything you can think of, government the size of Jabba the Hutt and just as ugly, pansy liberals who pass laws to cure problems that don’t exist but increase their power (cauliflower lightbulbs that contain… Read more »
That usually means that you’re one of two things: 1) A babe magnet 2) gay Take your pick. KEY WORD IS USUALLY. I will take your word that you are not one of the “happy people”, however, I have seen you and I don’t really think that #1 applies either. I guess in this case, you would have to select… Read more »

Well, I sure as hell ain’t gay. 😉
bob420 infected his ex with the Stuxnet worm?
Who knew?

My guess is your computer is infected with the Stuxnet worm.

I’ll bet you were a little rascal. Cuz now you are a big one. 🙂
Some of your posts remind me of Leon Hale’s columns about his “growing-up times”.
Fortunately, it’s probably not genetic. Throughout our lives our environment and perceptions train our brains. A study at University College London in the UK has found that conservatives’ brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other “primitive” emotions. – – – Rees, who heads up UCL’s Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, was originally… Read more »

An interesting point of view on the Texas Speaker from that Dallas rabbi, thanks for posting.
#3 TT on Pigford case This sounds exactly like what happens after a public transit accident. You have 5 times the number of passengers that is even POSSIBLE, filing claims that they were on the bus and got injured and want that settlement money right NOW. And government at any level often pays up, cuz it’s not THEIR money, after… Read more »
#34 SD: A very cool article. Over four summer months the emitters were switched on when the required atmospheric level of humidity reached 30 per cent or more. While the country’s weather experts predicted no clouds or rain in the Al Ain region, rain fell on FIFTY-TWO occasions. This technology has the potential to fix a whole lot of things… Read more »
Now this is neat; Have scientists discovered how to create downpours in the desert?
Mornin’Afternoon GangHow come I most often receive Facebook invites and comments from females? (I’m not complaining.) And why the heck does it keep recommending I “friend” my ex-wife?
#30 – All names here were “____________”
no characters at all…………..then I noticed similar weirdness on multiple sites that I have multi tabbed all on this one mozilla browser page – rebooting did the trick
Will we see a filibuster of changing filibuster rule?
#29 – I wondered what you were talking about.
My own #15 – Mozilla musta been hung up on too much New Year’s partying – full rebootski handled the issue – sure was weird
It just identifies me as an ignent peasant of no consequence.
I’m kind of proud of that.
While some will claim that powerful and well monied behind the scenes actors are guiding a conspiracy to astroturf Tea Party resistance to Speaker Straus’ re-election to that office, Alic Linahan gives us a list of who is advising Joe Straus on how to win the race that isn’t. When Joe Straus, the current Texas Speaker of the House, has… Read more »
Oh, now they want to change the filibuster rules.
#23 Sarge
We’re not doing too well today with our eye-hand coordination, are we?
Good that the Texas Speaker of the House will be chosen in caucus. For we who worked hard to launch the conservative tsunami in Texas and nationally the manner in which Mr. Straus was chosen Speaker two years ago is unacceptable and unseemly. IMHO everyone in the Texas Lege is on probation, make no mistake. Obviously, somebody paid you to… Read more »
