Yes and Eugene Joseph’s disappointed too. The WaPo scribbler’s 1/29/’12 piece opens with some thunder about his hero “botching” the contraceptive issue and complains that the president’s ”progressive Catholic allies” have been “thrown under the bus”(Wow! that’s an original turn of phrase. Sure wish I’d thought of it.) However the key sentence comes later and begins, “ But speaking as an American liberal who believes that religious pluralism imposes | Read More »

“He got it right because he hadn’t done it before…” Patrick Sweeney (The Gun Digest Book of the Glock 2008) Gaston Glock’s seventeenth patent filed in August 1981 covered the innovative design of a semi-automatic handgun and so he named it the Glock 17. He spent another nine months testing and improving the weapon which was markedly different from  others because it was largely made of very tough plastic | Read More »

Newt Gingrich’s last attempt to ride the big elephant will(did) effectively end tonight when Mitt Romney wins(won) the Florida GOP primary with a large plurality. UPDATE: I wrote this very early today. Since then FL Sen. Marco Rubio has appeared on CNN and predicted tonight’s winner will likely carry the GOP standard in November. Also two late-breaking polls show Romney with a total greater than the | Read More »

Well maybe when the first Starbucks opens. They could offer their exclusive “Luna Latte” Honeymoons on the Moon? “Oh Sweetie I’d kiss you if it weren’t for this here space suit.” Or “We coulda’ gone to Vegas! But no!” How about the disappointed newlyweds who discover you can’t take romantic earth-lit cruises on the Sea of Tranquillity. Oh well, as I noted in a previous | Read More »

Note: I wish I had thought of the title, but I “borrowed” it from the now suspended Huntsman campaign. Huntsman of course was my  first  choice, but such is war. Mitt and his Merry Men can’t be happy with Gallop’s latest 5-day rolling average numbers of GOP voter preferences nation wide. Just this week Romney’s lead over second-place Newt Gingrich has narrowed a rather shocking | Read More »
