THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

If college football were honest (and the Penn State 10-year child-rape coverup is just one more proof that it isn’t), then injured Texas running back Fozzy Whittaker’s future wouldn’t be so questionable. As Cobb says: “College football is big business and the kids should get their share, but they don’t. When the NCAA jumps on [...]

Cobb, in full cry, offers an interesting history, and some good chuckles, about Black Nationalism and its academic and ghetto adherents: "…plenty of them work, and they work hard. It’s just that the work that they work doesn’t work."

I have watched Glenn Beck exactly twice, so it’s fair to say I don’t know much about him, other than what I’ve read by people who do and don’t like him. Some bloggers I like to read consider him evil incarnate. Mr. Fascism. I don’t understand that. He strikes me as more of a showman [...]

Cobb does a fine job summarizing a scientific scandal about, what else, human-induced global warming. Seems a goodly portion of the worldwide scare’s convincing data was cherry picked: "Twelve trees whose growth rings were the basis of the conclusions that have shaken the world were selected by a dude named [Keith] Briffa and another dude [...]

Carders is Cobb’s timely abbreviation for people who "play the race card." Sort of like Truthers and Birthers. I like it. So does VanderLeun at American Digest. About time these folks were equated with the nut fringe. On the other hand, Cobb says the Carders are not really nuts, like the Truthers and, arguably, the [...]

From the "It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time Department." A chain of nuclear lighthouses to guide ships through the dark polar night along the Soviet Empire’s northern coast. Wonder what is taking their place. Via Cobb.

For Cobb, this is the "greatest picture in the world." I wouldn’t go that far, but I see his point. Whatever you think of Mom and Dad, their daughters are innocent and it’s certainly refreshing to see a black face in the presidential limo that doesn’t belong to a servant.

What with the presumed new, federal "green" push for this and that, Cobb foresees lots of need for such non-environmentally-friendly minerals as chromium, copper and arsenic. Heh.
