Assortment

Bob Belvedere introduces us to an outstanding kiwi blogger, Trevor Loudon, an advocate of individual liberty who is fighting the good fight.

Swampy obviously needs something to fill up the idle hours of her day.

Looks like I'm going to have to start growing tobacco plants under lights in my basement.

Walking while intoxicated.

Ok, let me get this straight. If you vote against somebody strictly because of his skin color, you're a racist. But if you vote for somebody just because of his skin color, you're not. Is that the way it works?

Hey, Democrats, how's that early voting strategy going?

Hmmm. Pretty strong teachers' union ya got there.

Worker's comp, Australian style (not just Australian, really; this kind of stuff happens in the states all the time).

Pixie Place has the latest witty and instructive exchange between Hugh Hewitt and Mark Steyn.

David Brooks' credibility is like the stock market in the mid-70s: it keeps falling and falling, and, just when you think it can't get any lower, it falls some more. Brooks:
“So, Obama, I think his task is reasonably clear — just be calm, stay calm, whatever that British slogan [is that] we’re all repeating now, ‘stay calm and in control,’ whatever it is,” Brooks said. “And so he just has to be calm. And somebody made a good point today. He had a pretty bad week in the Middle East, or a pretty bad two weeks in the Middle East, but he reacted with calmness. And so he sort of gets a pass on really what is sort of a chaotic administration policy.
One wonders if Punch Sulzberger (God rest his soul) didn't die from sheer embarrassment.

Another Obama-era disaster that's getting virtually no press.

Ann Romney's designer biker-wear was at the top of Yahoo!News all day yesterday. Dudes, really? I mean...
Please.

Biden promising seniors free colonoscopies.
Anesthesia not included.


As relatives go, these are a whole lot less strange than my uncle Hubert.

Thank ye, Paco.

Your Assortments always leave me well-sated.

Most of these assortments have earned a double face palm. So many, in fact, that I need a stiff drink.

See y'all later.

While I am not the most fashionable person, my opinion is that Anne Romney looked a whole lot better in her choice of clothing than Michelle did.

I have full spectrum bulbs in the light fixtures in my former office, now storage room for toys. I put my young citrus trees and plants that cannot stand the cold in there in the winter. They do well.

If Obama gets another term, I'll probably have to grow something smokable in order to pay the taxes.

Swampy: We'll just let that be our little secret.

Thanks for the link, Paco!

I think I've seen most of Mizz M'shell's outfit before...but with tights. I commented then that it would look adorable on my then-18month-old granddaughter.

I stand by that comment.

That was Miss Michelle exiting The Collegiate Church of St Peter, at Westminster.

Cheers

Paco said...

Captain: "Exiting" or "being thrown out of"?

Minicapt said...

Well, she was being escorted out of the church ...

Cheers

I'm not exactly sure how the rules work but I sense there might be a pattern :

If you vote against a guy because he oversaw the creation of trillions of dollars of debt after he promised a "net spending cut" then that is considered racist.
If you refer to Obama as "skinny" or as "professor" then that is considered racist.
If you disagree with Obama then that is considered racist.
If you voted for Alan Keyes, the black guy running against Obama in 2004, then that is considered racist.
