“The docs say that the chemo has achieved it’s goal and stabilized the tumor, so it’s shrunk “a considerable amount” and isn’t growing any more. There’s been no spread of cancer (or metastasis) to other parts of my beat-to-hell body.

“And a rib, what was broken about a year ago, and was a spot of concern — the lesion there has shrunk, which could be normal healing or the chemo killing cancer…don’t know, can’t know really. So, I am getting a 90 day stay from more treatment, [while] hopefully, I can start regaining strength and some capacity for doing something besides sitting on my tukus.”

Meanwhile, he’s looking forward to seeing whether the Rangers’ new $107.7 million Japanese pitcher, Yu Darvish, will be able to help get them back in the World Series—where third time just may be the charm for the boys from Arlington. Unless Darvish sucks, as most transitioning Japanese players have.

How could it not be, since it advises eating copious amounts of carbohydrates in the form of starches, grains and sugars? Moreover, it’s taught in the public schools. Mr. B. learned about it in second grade. He even had a test on it.

But how about Spiderman? Hmm.

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?

Ours, says a new book reviewed by the Instapundit, is a nation of moochers.

“In today’s America, government benefits flow to large numbers of people who are encouraged to vote for politicians who’ll keep them coming.  The benefits are paid for by other people who, being less numerous, can’t muster enough votes to put this to a stop.”

And we’re not talking about the poor-on-welfare here, but the upper-middle like Michelle and, someday, there could be more moochers than makers.

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 believe in war have to buy the bombs for the B-52s. But abortion is a trickier subject and Obozo may come to regret this one. I hope.

OTOH, abortions, via such venerable political organizations as Planned Parenthood (which actually helps women avoid parenthood), are as sacred to the Democrat party as labor unions. Obozo has no more choice (so to speak) in this matter than he does about supporting the AFL-CIO—an organization once (as recently as the 1970s) famed for its racism.

UPDATE:  Obozo tells religious groups to go to hell. That’ll learn ‘em. Then, saying he really isn’t, he does it again. Is this guy nuts, or what?

Fortunately there are lots of out-of-work lawyers these days just waiting to sue, and more and more precedent cases. The gang is especially touchy on this one because they’re losing.

“The only president to ever need a teleprompter to handle a press conference — so his staff could feed him the answers…”

Not that they’ll notice. They’re still singing the “CO2 causes global warming and the science is settled” refrain.

Maybe when the glaciers move as far south as Chicago and, then, Tennessee. Ya think?

They are the least educated, the least sophisticated, and, in my experience as a former cop reporter, certainly the most inhumane. But this is disgusting. I hope the bastards who pulled this stunt at least got fired. Ought to jail ‘em all, including the sheriff who hired ‘em.
