Mr. Unlucky’s Almanack

Do the aphorisms and observations of Benjamin franklin and his Poor Richard still apply, or are we beyond hope and salvation?

A bill stealthily moving its way through the Demofiend-controlled Congress would outlaw secret ballots.
I kid you not!

Okay, I didn’t come up with that title, but a reader of the Orange County Register did–and I think it fits the whole global warming industry-inspired hysteria, and Al Gore’s movie, perfectly.
In a letter to the editor, the reader points out the inconvenient fact that polar caps on Mars are melting too–and in an atmosphere [...]

I live at the fringe of Los Angeles County and just a couple of miles from the Orange County Line, and thus the only newspaper I can get home delivered is the completely left-deluded Los Angeles Times.  I’d prefer the Orange County Register for truth’s sake, but they’re smart enough in Santa Ana not to cross [...]

No matter what one may personally think of Anna Nicole Smith (and I personally sympathize with her sweet misunderstood person), and no matter what one may think of the self-reputed father of her daughter Danielynn (and I personally think he’s a sleazeball and scumbag extraordinaire), it’s good to hear that Ms. Smith will finally be buried next [...]

The tiff between the Australian prime minister and His Majesty Barack Obama aside, the vibes coming out of Australia bode common sense (as did the tiff, actually).

There’s only one alternative scenario.

The incident didn’t get a lot of U.S. press coverage, but the fire bombing of the lone train between India and Pakistan on Feb. 18 revealed the use of TIDs, timed incendiary devices.  Nothing new about these–his opponents tried using a TID against Hitler in 1944–but what’s new is that they’re now in play by [...]

I guess duplicity and Democrat are synonyms as the party’s philosophy is “anything to win a vote” (and then rule to the left, the far left). 
When you elect Republicans, you pretty much get what that they promised in the campaign, but the Democrats just posture and lie through their teeth and then pull out the [...]

I saw no grand reports summing up the Demofiends’ first 100 hours of promised change.  Is the clock still ticking?
I mused in an earlier posting that the ruling fiends would find some accounting trick to have the 100 hours continue until the next election when they can crown King Obama or anoint St. Hillary in [...]

Add to the likes of GM and Ford the venerable name of Chrysler, which almost expired in the 1970s, and chalk it all up to intractable union policies and contracts. Daimler Benz, which owns Chrysler under the name DaimlerChrysler, is talking layoffs, plant closings and selling the marque to stanch the bleeding.
The Demofiends’ solution?
Socialize medicine, [...]
