Ahem

Covered By Obamacare

Lord, What Will They Come Up With Next? Socks or Nylons work just as well

Are You MFKN Man Enough - Sheesh

Loved the '20s and '80s, hated the '70s.  All if them. This is why. Are you man enough?!?

.... and Obama is no Reagan.

The Gipper versus The Bitter Another Big Fur Hat Bullseye

SAMPLE “   Reagan: Fostered national pride in the military. Obama: Fostered gay pride in the military. Reagan: We begin bombing in five minutes. Obama: We begin golfing in five minutes. Reagan: Made big government a bad word. Obama: Made big government a bad dream. Reagan: A shining city on a hill. Obama: A home mortgage under water. Reagan: Stood up to the Soviets. Obama: Bowed to the Saudis. TRPOF

Jim Moran - The Terminal Brain

Rep. Jim Moran, known for his calm, thoughtful demeanor, sees racism at work in politics.

Actually, Moran is a rabid dog Democrat who looks for racism, and finds it.  In all the wrong places. So we'll help him out. This passes muster

THIS Asshattery Does Not Not only did Moran say that  "Republicans made big gains in November in part because “a lot of people in this country … don’t want to be governed by an African-American;” he said it to an audience of Muslims.

Culture, Sigh

Genital piercing, nipple rings, tattoos, tongue studs, illegal alien presidents ... JFC, what next?

Politics 101

Hey, We Can Be ASSHATS Too Top Dem: We will ‘hang’ Republicans

“   Amidst a national dialogue about softening political rhetoric, members of an Obama-affiliated organization are threatening to hang Granite State Republicans in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, according to a news story in the Citizen of Laconia.  Top Dem: We will ‘hang’ Republicans ” What the dude said was “They’re [Republicans] going to hang themselves, and we’re going to help them.” And this is now viewed as over-the-top political rhetoric?  JFC!  Next thing, we won't be able to hang asshats in effigy; or we'll be criticized for not saying nice things about Jimmy Carter when he dies, and talking about what a godawful president, ex-president and total prick he was.  The fact is, we hate and mistrust everything Democrats do, and vice-versa.  That's the way it ought to be in politics, and hasn't been. A knife fight. If you're at a square dance with a political enemy, dance with them.  That ain't politics, and they ain't enemies then. Specially if they're cute and have nice legs and fancy décolletage. Am I right? (I meant that in the manly way, yours may differ).

Tell Me About Reagan again Barry

Obama put union bosses in charge of federal agencies, then exempted them from FOIA

Guess "U" Mister “ In other words, Obama has given veto power on federal policy to the bosses running the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) ... [putting] agency documents concerning implementation of the EO under the FOIA's Exemption Five, the executive privilege exemption. [union bosses ...] ” Isn't he just too precious?

Attention Turkeys

I Was That Turkey (actually it tickled, but I broke the engagement anyway)

" .... helps those who help themselves."

I guess it wasn't a secret, was it? ...backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising

This is 99 72.4 % hyperbole, but when I was a kid and didn't eat my broccoli,  mom scolded, "You know, for every bite of food you waste, someone in China dies."  Of course the Chinese intervention in Korea was still a live memory, so we kids made a habit of spitting out our last bite of food.  Now that we're broke,  it may be a good idea to quit worrying about every feckin country in the world, where people would rather live in squalor, and fear, rather than sacrifice for their own damned democracy.  Kennedy started this crap with the Peace Corps, and Jimmy Carter institutionalized it.  It might be WJWD, but we ain't Jesus.  Democrats just think they are. Sheesh.

Palin+MSNBC=Fun & Games

Sarah Palin: MSNBC's Obsession With Her weaning itself from its addiction to Sarah Palin. Sure, it will be tough, even expensive — withdrawals usually are — but we all know that reporters themselves are aching for some Palin-free airtime, and audiences seem willing to give it a try as well, judging from her sudden drop in popularity polls. [...] That pollsters routinely collect such data on a woman who doesn't hold office (unless you count being the star of a nonrenewed TLC reality show a perch) and isn’t running for anything other than her next private plane for an appearance speaks to the media’s dysfunctional obsession with her. After all, it’s been more than two years since she was Sen. John McCain's vice-presidential candidate. [Hollywood Reporter] BONUS ROUND QUIZ Squeeze

An Obamacy of Dunces

So, let me axe you something...

“ President Obama now has the lowest average Flesch-Kincaid score for State of the Union addresses of any modern president - with his 8.5 grade level falling just below the 8.6 score recorded by George H.W. Bush during his presidency. Ricochet   Average Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level for Orally Delivered State of the Union Addresses by Presidents Since FDR Rank President Words per sentence Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 1 Kennedy 23.8 12.0 2 Eisenhower 20.5 11.9 3 Nixon 23.5 11.5 4 Roosevelt 24.3 11.4 5 Ford 19.3 11.2 6 Carter 19.7 10.8 7 Truman 18.9 10.5 8 Johnson 20.3 10.4 8 Bush 43 19.0 10.4 10 Reagan 19.6 10.3 11 Clinton 19.0 9.5 12 Bush 41 17.4 8.6 13 Obama 16.7 8.5 Data compiled by Smart Politics. ” Putting all else aside, this is another example of smug, condescending Liberal elitists getting it blown back up their own arses.

The KILL BILL

Renewed Push to Give Obama an Internet "Kill Switch"

AHEM “ In an attempt to stop the frenzied online spread of dissent against President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule, not only Facebook and Twitter but the entire Internet was shut down overnight, leaving some 20 million users stranded. [News Dispatch] Unlike Egypt, the United States has a surfeit of providers, so shutting us down will require some brute force, which is what Obama is wanting here.  For those who respond - "but Rodge, what about if we're electronically attacked by China?" -  I will counter with,   "Did FDR shutdown newspapers on Dec 8th, 1941?"  Same deal.

BIG BANG 101

It's Called a "Club"

Coulter Does The SOTU

Snippets from Chairman Ann

“ I feel so Southern whenever I watch a Democrat give a State of the Union address -- and not just because it makes me want to secede. The Chairman Speaks To Everyone All I kept hearing was, "Ann pays more." That's all I ever hear when Democrats start in with all that "investing." Apparently the government will be "investing" in education, "investing" in technology, "investing" in roads and "investing" in lots and lots of government workers. Ann pays more, Ann pays more, Ann pays more. But I do wonder why no private lender considered solar panels a wise investment, forcing solar panel manufacturers to turn to the government for loans, followed by endless tax credits just to break even. I guess people who work for the government are just smarter.  [Full] ”

Schooled, But Uneducated

Credentialists Gone Wild

“   We live in an era where a well-educated journalist can declare the Constitution to be “over a hundred years old” and therefore difficult to understand, and remain credibly employed; it does seem that credentials matter more than ability. Demonstrating that one is able to conform to curricula currently trumps boldness; seat hours in the auditorium count more than audacity. [Elizabeth Scalia (aka The Anchoress) via Chicago Boys] ”

Chicago Boy David Foster begins Credentialists Gone Wild -  "a thousand  philosophers but nobody to fix the toilet" meme - with this vignette. “   Elizabeth Scalia  cites the case of Pete Hamill–author of over a dozen books, writer of a syndicated newspaper column and of countless essays and articles covering a broad range of subjects–who finally got around to getting a degree from the high school he dropped out of 59 years ago. “It was the last period when you could do that and still have a life,” Hamill told the New York Times. ” That, folks, is a case of the 'zactlys.

Doocy v Smith

a pox unto thee thou vile canker-blossom Politico and the Fox News Channel continued what has become something of a feud this week, with “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy and Politico blogger Ben Smith swapping insults

“   Without sourcing anyone from Fox News, or in fact anyone at all, Smith also suggested that Doocy had been ordered by management to attack him on the air. “Doocy’s rant, which he says he drew from reading my column yesterday, but which it’s hard to believe he wasn’t told to do, reflects a remarkably thin skin,” Smith wrote.
