The Real Monster

Is Obama too nice?
 Way Barf Alert

With problems for the president in Afghanistan, health care and unemployment, some critics on both the left and right are asking: Is the president essentially ‘too nice' to make the important decisions?
That is how David Kerley of ABC News opens his recent piece titled, "Is Obama ‘Too Nice' to Make Tough Decisions?"


Thwe self created man
You've got to love it when liberals use the words "some critics," or "critics say," to voice what they believe without substantiation. Please tell us Mr. Kerley, which critics on the right are asking whether the President is "too nice" to make important decisions?

If critics on the right are asking such a misguided question, then they, like Mr. Kerley do not know the real Barack Obama. And, inasmuch as ABC News failed to vet Candidate Obama we would not expect the organization to know much about Obama beyond the shiny narrative.

Just a few days before the 2008 presidential election, Tom Brokaw appeared on the Charlie Rose show. Here's a brief excerpt:

    Rose: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.

    Brokaw: No, I don't either.

    Rose: And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

    Brokaw: You know that's an interesting question. . . . I don't know what books he's read.

    Rose: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

    Brokaw: There's a lot about him we don't know.


Not to worry though. Our esteemed journalists knew that Obama was the perfect candidate. They knew he read a mean teleprompter. They knew he looked good and had a good looking family. They knew he had a nice looking smile. They knew he was black and was the one to make history.

He seemed like a really nice guy.

If they had done their homework, however, they would have known that Obama was a Chicago-machine politician who had used bare-knuckles tactics against his opponents. Do please continue - it's fun.

It's what happens

South Park Spoof

I see dead people ...


 Best of the Web mentions this South Park park episode today ...  (Billy May's clip above)
  Life Imitates 'South Park'

    * "The spirit of Michael Jackson plays with Ike, while the rest of the dead wait in purgatory."--episode description, "Dead Celebrities," aired Oct. 7
    * "Michael Jackson Talks to His Macaw From Beyond the Grave Says Sister La Toya--Exclusive"--headline, Mirror (London), Oct. 24
I happened to miss that episode, and South Park's deal with Viacom (Comedy Central)  is they can show full episodes on their own site the first week, but then must wait a month before showing it again.  That would be Nov. 7th.  However, these guys must have a different deal with Viacom, or just don't care, because you can watch it now.  You will have to allow pop-ups, and sit through 10 seconds or so of ads.  I LMAO.

Pinning Blame

Banking on Obama


I've listened to the third hour of Limbo's Friday (10-23) show several times.  Because it's all that's on my little Phillips iPod that I listen to when I'm shopping, driving, etc.  There was a stretch in that segment where Rush tasar'd the pay-czar , and ripped into Obama's socialist caterwauling.  It's  wonderful for it's passion, and capsule explanation for why 10-18 even  happened.  I distilled it down to 2 minutes.  If you like it, use it.  It's the Real King of France's Lend-Lease program.  You're welcome. (Let them drink the finest whiskey).

Minimalist Me

REDO


 I guess you noticed that I did a bit of  house cleaning last night.  It struck me that the hallway to my blog looked like an Italian Grotto, so relative minimalism  is the result.  It won't be long before I start adding chrome and hanging pink boas, but for now I feel clean.  If anyone wants to submit a banner idea, have at it. 

The UN - Again

Against the Wall MoFo's


 Is there a difference between an al- Qaeda or UN presence in the United States?  Yes there is.  The UN is the greater threat.

 In 2004 House democrats petitioned for the UN to monitor the coming election.  Jummy Carter joined the chorus, arguing it was necessary -- to forestall another stolen  presidency.  The request was bumped to Sec. State Colin Powell who obviously acceded,  because Bush asked Kofi Annan to send his blue helmets.  (I'm not making this up)

In retrospect, I'll guess that Bush was assured by brother, and Florida governor Jeb, that the delegation would not be allowed within 60 feet of a polling place, and figured to triangulate in yet another of his many such political miscalculations.  My expressed feeling at the time was that the UN delegation be set afire on first contact.  What an insult to US sovereignty!

Given this current government, how can I be gobsmacked by anything?  But I am no less outraged to learn that the United Nations Investigator Launches Probe Into US Housing Crisis. Neither do I think it the intention to interrogate Democrats on the House and Senate banking committees. Nope. It's another nose under the tent. Since it's not a given today that you'd get a medal for shooting bin Laden on sight, I guess that ...  you know.  Sigh.  Impeaching Obama will have to suffice.

Food Court of Despair

Is Crist Dead?

... the same political insiders who downplayed Rubio are starting to think the unthinkable: Crist's campaign might be threatened by another Republican.



Blowhards

Pass Public Option or the Donk Gets It!


 The fun bunch at Democrats.com are sick and tired of this s*it, and are going on a fast.
After months of debate, an overwhelming majority of Americans support a "robust public option" similar to Medicare.

And thanks to the heroic efforts of progressive activists, we have almost enough votes in the Senate and House to pass it.

The Democratic majorities in the Senate (60/40) and the House (258/177) are large enough to pass a "public option" even with no Republican support. But a handful of conservative "Democrats" are blocking the will of the Democratic majority.

These conservative "Democrats" refuse to listen to the Democratic voters who elected them. That means it's up to our Democratic leaders - Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and President Obama - to persuade them.

We will not accept a weak public option or worse, a "trigger." We want a robust public option (based on Medicare rates, not negotiated rates) that is nation-wide (with no state opt-outs), administered by Medicare (not a for-profit insurance company) and available immediately.

That is why we are joining together in a Democratic donor strike against the DNC, DSCC, and DCCC until the Democratic Congress passes - and President Obama signs - healthcare reform with a robust public option. Until then, we will only donate to individual Democrats who will truly fight for us.
Only someone who's spent too much time in  Marxist coffee houses would use hackneyed commie lingo like  "thanks to the heroic efforts of progressive activists ... ."  *snort*  Bob Fertik also betrays a surprising naivety about "conservative 'Democrats' [who] refuse to listen to the Democratic voters who elected them."   They were elected by Republicans, Bob, in historically Republican districts, after pretending to be more conservative than their opponents.   Obama, Pelosi and Reid are not too popular there anymore.   But, yeah, I think it's a wonderful idea to cut funding to the DNC, I only question your influence in the matter.  Soros put his money behind Moveon.org.  

XP Update

FWIW
 Final Report on stuff nobody cares about


 A few weeks ago I bored the hell out of you and me too with a week-long journal about wiping my disc and reinstalling XP.  I was then able, finally, to install Service Pack 3 which, for me, is a revelation.  Every single problem I've had since buying this machine disappeared.   My feeling now is that Windows XP is greatest OS invented by mankind. I have zero desire to own a MAC. I decided from the get-go to see if I couldn't keep my registry squeaky clean.  I know what you MACkers are yelling, but I don't care. I use CCleaner, which I think is the best such device out there, and every few days I run a registry scan, and fix (remove) widows, broken links, dangling participles, etc.  As of 10  minutes ago this is what I have.  There is nobody else in the world who has  registry this clean (and a system that still works), which is important to me.  I used to be the best smoker in the world, but since 1998 ,when I quit, I've not been the best at anything.  Now I am again.  USA-UAS-USA.  Isn't this sad?  But wait! I didn't mean it.  I'm the best at other things too, but don't want to brag. (This stream of consciousness blogging is tedious).

Moosh Squshed

This is what I'm talking about


 The 12 week marathon to choose the million dollar cutest dog finalists is ended. Here they are.  By my estimation 8 of the 12 are Al Frankens, elected by a commie underground having no regard for integrity and decency  Admit it, these are dogs only an owner could call cute.  We all know who should have been included, don't we?  If I had to vote for one of these mutts, it'd be second from the left, bottom row. But why vote?  I no longer have faith in the election process, so eat me dog food people sponsors.  I'm blaming you for Obama too.

Woodward found that the Democrats' claim doesn't survive even cursory scrutiny:

Angry left with happy ending

How to deal with the angry left

A woman came in last night looking for a book by some feminist author that I had never heard of before, no big surprise there.   So, I look it up in our search engine and the computer says that we might have it in the store.  MIGHT have it, not WILL.  So I tell her that I can check our inventory and see if it’s there and show her the section it would be in.

“No, that’s fine, I’ll find it myself.  I’m going to look around a bit first”

Ten minutes later, as I’m showing another customer to 1984 I run across her in Literature looking around and she barges in to the conversation I’m having with my customer and sneers “Where is the section on Women’s rights?”

I tell her again “It’s upstairs and I’ll be happy to take you to it as soon as I am done here.”

“No, I can fin[d] it myself.”  ....
