THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Probably not. Shelob was altogether too mean and much too smart to be more than extra annoyed by a measly can of Raid. Or even twenty cans. But how about Spiderman? Hmm.

Miriam has a funny post. It’s a “what if” about the face on a thousand thingies that’s so ubiquitous nowadays nobody notices it any more. What if the Left’s favorite Commie thug Che had been plain old Ernie Guevara?

Mooch, as some call the ever-vacationing Michelle Obama—the first First Lady in my memory with a penchant for expensive hotels and fancy restaurants on the taxpayer’s tab, is merely following a national trend for living on other people’s money. Ours, says a new book reviewed by the Instapundit, is a nation of moochers. “In today’s [...]

Not that my paying for them, via tax money, really bothers me much, though I think they’ve become a form of birth control for a lot of uneducated and/or irresponsible women. But, really, why should people who don’t believe in abortion have to pay for them? I suppose for the same reason people who don’t [...]

The badge gang may wear their surnames on their chests, or, at least, they used to. But woe unto anyone who dares take their picture in the, cough, performance of their duties.

When it comes to the growing arrogance of the badge gang, it would be hard to beat your local team of deputy sheriffs—these are the folks who run your county jail, where you’re liable to wind up if you’re arrested for anything. They are the least educated, the least sophisticated, and, in my experience as [...]

Let me be clear. I do not watch SOTUs because I have better things to do than to listen to presidents politicians prevaricate and tell outright lies, like Obozo did the other night. Repeatedly. I specifically do not watch SOTUs by President Obozo because he is an ordinary hack politician of no merit who never [...]

The thunderstorms overnight Tuesday into Wednesday were welcome in most places, except where they provoked trouble: power out for a few thousand homes, hail damage, street and creek flooding, emergency rescues, and at least one tornado. The National Weather Service, whose Internet radar images always seem to go down on these occasions when they’re needed, [...]
