Obama's Doctored Photo-op

As long as I'm dredging up old news, I can't help but take a jab at this one. I heard the story when it came out last week but it wasn't until I saw the photos this weekend that I realized just how truly ridiculous the whole thing was.

I can just hear the old folks back home...

Sonny: Hey Maw, come see! The President is given' ah speech on the Tee-Vee about how good Obamacare is, and he's got doctors with him! They got on their doctor coats and everything.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone, them doctors do got on their doctor coats, they must be real doctors.

Sonny: That's right Maw. And them doctors think Obamacare is real good too, just like I told-ja.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone, it must be true then, if them doctors in their doctor coats think Obama care is good too.

Sonny: That's right Maw, they must be real doctors if'n they got on them doctor coats.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone... I wonder why I got all this mail from the Hemlock Society today?

Sonny: I signed you up with them Maw, they'rah senior citizen organization, you know, like the Aye Aye Are-ah Pee.

Give me a break. How stupid does the 'Ego in Chief' think we are? It would be insulting... if it weren't so damned laughable.

Obama's Creepy Smile

More creepy Obama stuff - Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.



As Eric says, "Ladies and gentlemen, your President is a robot. Or a wax sculpture. Maybe a cardboard cutout. All I know is no human being has a photo smile this amazingly consistent.

On Wednesday, the Obamas hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during which they stood for 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries in town for the UN meeting. The President has exactly the same smile in every single shot. See for yourself -- the pictures are up on the State Department’s flickr. And, of course, compressed into 20 seconds for your viewing pleasure."

130 Photos - Same Obama. That takes a lot of practice in front of a mirror. Love me -- like I love me, please... creepy.

Jon Stewart Breaks The ACORN Scandal

Actually, Jon Stewart, the most trusted name in news these days, breaks the ACORN scandal for the Main Stream Obamedia. This story is about a week old and MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and NPR just can't ignore it any longer, so I guess Jon has the "scoop."

"Where were the real reporters on this story? Where the the hell were you?"

Harrison Bergeron

A lesson on guaranteed equality of outcome by Kurt Vonnegut.

The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.


Some things about living still weren’t quite right, though. April, for instance, still drove people crazy by not being springtime. And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron’s fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.


It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn’t think about it very hard. Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains. [continue...]

Waterboarding Nancy Pelosi

At the risk of revealing myself for the truly sad and lonely person that I am I've got to say that I think Steven Crowder does one damned hot Nancy Pelosi impersonation. Steven, if you're reading this, dinner on me, Friday night, wear the makeup... and dress.

Fairness, Idealism and Other Atrocities

By P.J. O'Rourke

I've been a fan of P.J. O'Rourke since his National Lampoon days (yeah I'm that old). Here's his commencement speech to America.

Well, here you are at your college graduation. And I know what you're thinking: "Gimme the sheepskin and get me outta here!" But not so fast. First you have to listen to a commencement speech.

Don't moan. I'm not going to "pass the wisdom of one generation down to the next." I'm a member of the 1960s generation. We didn't have any wisdom.

We were the moron generation. We were the generation that believed we could stop the Vietnam War by growing our hair long and dressing like circus clowns. We believed drugs would change everything -- which they did, for John Belushi. We believed in free love. Yes, the love was free, but we paid a high price for the sex.

My generation spoiled everything for you. It has always been the special prerogative of young people to look and act weird and shock grown-ups. But my generation exhausted the Earth's resources of the weird. Weird clothes -- we wore them. Weird beards -- we grew them. Weird words and phrases -- we said them. So, when it came your turn to be original and look and act weird, all you had left was to tattoo your faces and pierce your tongues. Ouch. That must have hurt. I apologize.

So now, it's my job to give you advice. But I'm thinking: You're finishing 16 years of education, and you've heard all the conventional good advice you can stand. So, let me offer some relief:

1. Go out and make a bunch of money!

Here we are living in the world's most prosperous country, surrounded by all the comforts, conveniences and security that money can provide. Yet no American political, intellectual or cultural leader ever says to young people, "Go out and make a bunch of money." Instead, they tell you that money can't buy happiness. Maybe, but money can rent it.

There's nothing the matter with honest moneymaking. Wealth is not a pizza, where if I have too many slices you have to eat the Domino's box. In a free society, with the rule of law and property rights, no one loses when someone else gets rich.

2. Don't be an idealist!

Don't chain yourself to a redwood tree. Instead, be a corporate lawyer and make $500,000 a year. No matter how much you cheat the IRS, you'll still end up paying $100,000 in property, sales and excise taxes. That's $100,000 to schools, sewers, roads, firefighters and police. You'll be doing good for society. Does chaining yourself to a redwood tree do society $100,000 worth of good?

Idealists are also bullies. The idealist says, "I care more about the redwood trees than you do. I care so much I can't eat. I can't sleep. It broke up my marriage. And because I care more than you do, I'm a better person. And because I'm the better person, I have the right to boss you around."

Get a pair of bolt cutters and liberate that tree.

Who does more for the redwoods and society anyway -- the guy chained to a tree or the guy who founds the "Green Travel Redwood Tree-Hug Tour Company" and makes a million by turning redwoods into a tourist destination, a valuable resource that people will pay just to go look at?

So make your contribution by getting rich. Don't be an idealist.

3. Get politically uninvolved!

All politics stink. Even democracy stinks. Imagine if our clothes were selected by the majority of shoppers, which would be teenage girls. I'd be standing here with my bellybutton exposed. Imagine deciding the dinner menu by family secret ballot. I've got three kids and three dogs in my family. We'd be eating Froot Loops and rotten meat.

But let me make a distinction between politics and politicians. Some people are under the misapprehension that all politicians stink. Impeach George W. Bush, and everything will be fine. Nab Ted Kennedy on a DUI, and the nation's problems will be solved.

But the problem isn't politicians -- it's politics. Politics won't allow for the truth. And we can't blame the politicians for that. Imagine what even a little truth would sound like on today's campaign trail:

"No, I can't fix public education. The problem isn't the teachers unions or a lack of funding for salaries, vouchers or more computer equipment The problem is your kids!"

4. Forget about fairness!

We all get confused about the contradictory messages that life and politics send.

Life sends the message, "I'd better not be poor. I'd better get rich. I'd better make more money than other people." Meanwhile, politics sends us the message, "Some people make more money than others. Some are rich while others are poor. We'd better close that 'income disparity gap.' It's not fair!"

Well, I am here to advocate for unfairness. I've got a 10-year-old at home. She's always saying, "That's not fair." When she says this, I say, "Honey, you're cute. That's not fair. Your family is pretty well off. That's not fair. You were born in America. That's not fair. Darling, you had better pray to God that things don't start getting fair for you." What we need is more income, even if it means a bigger income disparity gap.

5. Be a religious extremist!

So, avoid politics if you can. But if you absolutely cannot resist, read the Bible for political advice -- even if you're a Buddhist, atheist or whatever. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those people who believes that God is involved in politics. On the contrary. Observe politics in this country. Observe politics around the world. Observe politics through history. Does it look like God's involved?

The Bible is very clear about one thing: Using politics to create fairness is a sin. Observe the Tenth Commandment. The first nine commandments concern theological principles and social law: Thou shalt not make graven images, steal, kill, et cetera. Fair enough. But then there's the tenth: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."

Here are God's basic rules about how we should live, a brief list of sacred obligations and solemn moral precepts. And, right at the end of it we read, "Don't envy your buddy because he has an ox or a donkey." Why did that make the top 10? Why would God, with just 10 things to tell Moses, include jealousy about livestock?

Well, think about how important this commandment is to a community, to a nation, to a democracy. If you want a mule, if you want a pot roast, if you want a cleaning lady, don't whine about what the people across the street have. Get rich and get your own.

Now, one last thing:

6. Don't listen to your elders!

After all, if the old person standing up here actually knew anything worth telling, he'd be charging you for it.

Reagan Killed Us

How Ronald Reagan Destroyed the World (Three Times).
By Bruce Kelly

1. Ronald Reagan Appointed James Watt Secretary of The Interior.
James Watt believed that destroying the environment would bring back Jesus. He supported the development and use of federal lands by evil corporations. They cut down all the trees and killed the oceans and we all died... except the Beach Boys. [source]

2. Ronald Reagan Ignored The Aids Epidemic.
Ronald Reagan was too old fashioned to understand how important having unprotected anal sex with strangers was to Americans. Aids mutated from a homosexual disease to a heterosexual disease. The heterosexual aids epidemic swept the world and everyone died... except James Watt. [source]

3. Ronald Reagan Started Nuclear WWIII.
Ronald Reagan wouldn't talk with our enemies, he thought America should stand up to bullies. He scared the communists so bad when he started putting more and more missiles into Europe that riots broke out. When the Russians went in to try and calm things down he bombed them and they bombed us back and everyone died... except some people in Lawrence, Kansas. [source]
