    I’d like to meet Kevin Williamson some day.

    Anyone who can pen missives such as this:

    Bipartisan lesson: If you are going to run a horsepucky media creation as a single-issue candidate, pick a single issue that doesn’t stack voters up against you four to one.

    From that link.

    “Strangely enough, marijuana reform is a notable locus of fanaticism. You’d think that of all the single-issue enthusiasms across these fruited plains, the marijuana-legalization crusade would be one of the more laid-back. It isn’t. If you think that the gay-marriage obsessives or the Chicken Littles of climate change are fanatics and bores, spend a few hours with the potheads.”

    How true that was seen here.

    Not sure if the Wendy Davis campaign’s implosion is more of a result of the single-issue fanaticism of the pro-abortion crowd, the fact that she’s even more of a leech than is your typical lefty, or the huge mole on the front of her head.

    It always looks like it’s eyeing me, just waiting for a moment’s inattention before it pounces.

    n.b. – it’s also refreshing to see that someone actually spelled “Froot Loops” correctly.

    Good morning Hamsters. Delightful 54 at 6 with plenty of dew, and the clocks agree with daylight. This could be a habit.

    The Chron’s unknown interns who seem to be writing articles are today bemoaning voter apathy in Texas and the difficulties some would-be voters are having obtaining an acceptable photo ID. These two articles read like funeral dirges minus the depressing music. Wonder if they moonlight with Battleground Texas.

    On the apathy side (front section, 1st page), the concern is with liberals/democrats who think the Republicans will win anyhow so why bother to vote, or we’ll go vote if we get around to it. And this view seems to cross all segments of the Texas population–horrors. The Battleground Texas machinations aren’t working, and they don’t understand it.

    On the last-minute difficulty coming up with an acceptable picture ID document (second section above the fold), well the obvious solution is registering to vote on election day, just like in Minnesota where that works so well. As in the triple recounts in the Coleman/Franken senatorial election 6 years ago in which each recount mysteriously found more votes for Franken when Coleman had initially won the election. Union heavy Duluth and environs supplied lots of those “found” votes, by the way.

    Tuesday evening when the polls close can’t come soon enough.

    Andrew Jackson Houston was the second son of General Sam and Margaret. He practiced law, led a troop of Rough Riders under Teddy Roosevelt and from 1924 to 1941 was superintendent of the San Jacinto Battlefield.

    In that year, Senator Morris Sheppard died in office. Governor W. Lee “Pappy” O’Daniel appointed A. J. Houston to fill the vacancy until a special election could be held.

    He received the news on San Jacinto Day, 1941.

    A. J. was 86 years old and in poor health. No one expected him to go to Washington and actually fill the post. The appointment was just meant to honor him for his many years of service to Texas.

    But A. J. surprised them. He made the trip that June and occupied the same seat his father had held when he was born.

    Attending his first committee meeting, he lost consciousness and died a short time later. But he had succeeded in submitting a bill to secure $250,000.00 for the San Jacinto Monument.

    A few days later, Gov. Pappy O’Daniel defeated Lyndon Johnson, and went on to hold that senate seat until 1949.

    Adee, re: the photo id; I’ve always wondered why it was
    such a big issue – why, just last evening, I dropped of an

    Man which one of you guys have been talking to my lovely wife? Gotta be Texpat. Ya think you know someone and then they drop on you that they believe chili should NOT have beans.

    Last night, and I engaged in a rather robust discussion about whether chili should have beans. I, of course, presented a scholarly defense of my position while she engaged in bumper sticker defense. I coulda swore I was talking to one you guys………………….. TEXPAT. I met with the same stubborn, unyielding, inflexible, unbending, intransigent, intractable, obdurate, mulish, bullheaded, OPINON as you no beans people that inhabit the couch.

    To end the stalemate I had to throw down the head of household card and that in this house chili would always be served with beans.
    /This couch is sure uncomfortable to sleep on.

    I peeked at Hubby’s leg this morning…it’s still way too swollen and way too red. He may have to have fluid aspirated from his knee again today. I offered to take him, but he assured me that I have plenty to do, and his mother doesn’t, so she’s taking him.

    Not sure how I feel about that. The facts of the matter are true, but the emotions don’t. I don’t want to stress him out more by arguing with him over something like this. I may have to save my battles for the possible hospital admission.

    So, back to work…

    A saint, that BSue is.

    Chili should have no visible vegetables in it. They should all be completely cooked down.

    Once in the bowl, a sprinkling of diced raw onion and/or grated cheese is appropriate.

    Chili without beans is just hotdog sauce. Chili should not contain any genderfluid though. That part is really important.

    Out doc is a specialist in emergency medicine (he teaches, actually), and he’s pretty blunt about what needs to happen. When my sister took me in for my ruptured disc, he gave me a lecture on why I shouldn’t take Ibuprofen. My sister was so grateful for that – she’d been taking it for her chronic spinal pain, and she then understood why she was having such severe gastric problems. Doc is good.

    If Hubby needs shootin’, he’ll do it. But only if it’s necessary. The leg ain’t broken.

    Re: ‘Beans in the chili’ heathens

    To quote Kevin Williamson in Twilight Of The Froot Loops….

    Churchill said, “Pro bean people are fanatics. They can’t change their mind and won’t change the subject.”

    We refuse. We refuse to withdraw our story or apologize for running it, because quoting a woman’s book does not constitute a “false” story, even if she is a prominent actress and left-wing activist. Lena Dunham may not like our interpretation of her book, but unfortunately for her and her attorneys, she wrote that book – and the First Amendment covers a good deal of material she may not like.

    I like it when people fight back instead of mewling about how the world is at an end.

    THAT is what its going to take to bring us back to sanity.

    👿 CRUZPAÑOL 👿 :

    Ted Cruz es un verdarero guerrero prendido con los princípios conservativos más que nadie.

    In an interview at the Hotel Captain Cook here between campaign stops for Sullivan, Cruz made it clear he would push hard for a Republican-led Senate to be as conservative and confron¬tational as the Republican-led House.

    Piggybacking on what House leaders have done, Cruz said the first order of business should be a series of hearings on President Obama, “looking at the abuse of power, the executive abuse, the regulatory abuse, the lawlessness that sadly has pervaded this administration.”

    (snip)

    And when asked whether he would back Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky for Republican leader, Cruz would not pledge his support — an indication that there are limits to how much of a partner he’s willing to be.

    If Kevin Williamson is a guy I’d buy a beer, Victor Davis Hanson is they guy I’d most want to have dinner with.

    In other words, most of what the Democrats have done since 2009 has either failed or was contrary to what most voters wished when they voted for Democrats in 2008. That is not my summation, but the Democrats’ own, given that they chose not to run on anything they had done or might do with another Democratic victory.

    Voter ID is equivalent to showing the crucifix to a vampire, wherein the vampire is played by the Democrats. With voter ID, they will have a much harder time engaging in voter fraud. It cuts down on the number of residents of cemeteries voting, a popular source along with vacant lots and abandoned buildings. Until now they could merrily hire buses to take packs of minority voters from precinct to precinct on election day to cast multiple votes for Democrats (of course) with little chance of getting caught. And they have been previously seen herding minorities into and out of buses right here in the Houston area. But it’s a real art elsewhere in the country, like Detroit, Chicago, New York, Milwaukee for example.

    Multiple fake votes on mail-in ballots are more bothersome to pull off, but right now there’s no voter ID required for those, and in some places the mail-in ballots have been intercepted before they get to the rightful voter. So we have crime doubletons in mail and voter fraud.

    And the Democrats persist in their absurd claims that voter ID is racially discriminatory, too hard to obtain yada, yada, yada. Which an ever shrinking portion of minorities still swallow whole.

    But by gawwwwddduuuuhhh we will fight his immigration moves.

    Well we’re back from the deer camp, had a wonderful weekend, the weather was perfect, 29 Saturday morning, 38 Sunday and 42 today, all four of us saw does, bucks and other wildlife. Early Saturday morning, I bagged a nice, pseudo 8 pointer, he had a wide 14” spread with three tines on each side but his brow tines were a ½ long with one pointed backward and one forward, so he was a nice 6 point. Oddly enough he is the largest, (heaviest) deer that we’ve killed in the 10 years that we’ve been hunting here, 150 Lbs. Several years ago, I got a monster 8 point with heavy antlers, 6 inch brow tines and an 18 inch spread and he only weighed 137 Lbs. My huntin’ buddy got a nice 90 Lb doe @ dark Saturday night. I saw a bobcat Sunday morning behind the camp and one of our group saw one across the creek in the same stand that I killed my deer. All of the cameras had all sorts of large bucks, does, spikes, coyotes and bobcats. “Yup, Life is Good”. 😉
