Rats Deserting a Sinking Obama

Rats abandoning a sinking ship isn’t a novelty but when it’s the Good Ship Obamapop, it’s newsworthy:

NIMBYMP! Not in my back yard, Mr. President!

Democrat incumbents and wannabes from Missouri to Florida to Nebraska are treating Obama as if he were afflicted with the plague and a Death Panel has already passed sentence.

No fools they, the Dem pols would rather go it alone than have a presidential albatross around their necks. It makes sense, too, considering his endorsement track record success of zero percent: Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts.

Actually he’s zero for four if we count his and Michelle’s desperate failed trip to Copenhagen to bring home the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago. That first-round elimination was a humiliating face slap, repeated in December via a humiliating rebuke at the global climate talks, also in Copenhagen.

Not ready to get slapped silly by voters come November, “A Democratic Senate candidate in Missouri denounced the budget’s sky-high deficit. A Florida Democrat whose district includes the Kennedy Space Center hit the roof over NASA budget cuts. And an endangered Senate Democrat denounced proposed cuts in farm subsidies.”

The only problem with that analysis is that just about every Dem running this year is “endangered.” Just ask Virginia State Sen. Creigh Deeds, former New Jersey Governor John Corzine, and Massachusett’s A.G. Martha Coakley what happened last year.

Also, with a rampant anti-incumbency fever infecting the electorate, every Dem officeholder, federal, state, or local, is more vulnerable since the leader of their pack is the guy most responsible for the fever.

As a Baltimore Sun article put it,. . .

Contemptible Quickies #3

Recall the Obamassiah’s repetitive pledge during the presidential campaign and in the heady exhilaration after his election not to hike taxes on the middle class? Recall his pledge not to raise taxes for anyone making less than $250,000?

Well, fugeddabout it. As the song goes, “Promises, promises . . .” As Obama goes, a pledge isn’t worth the wind it’s written on.

All along, he admitted he was considering not extending the Bush tax cuts but voters never added 2 + 2 to arrive at the the sum of zero, which is the amount middle-classers will be saving when the Bush cuts expire at the end of 2010. . .

Obama's Girl, Obama's Gay, Obama's Sodom

Obama’s Girl, Obama’s Gay, Obama’s Sodom

Obama’s in the news again, and it’s not good news.

When Love Sputters, Can the Death Rattle Be Far Behind?

It may not have been love in the first place but 2008’s “Obama Girl” sure was “in crush” when Amber Lee Ettinger thrilled the world with her viral video during the presidential campaign.

Ok, she thrilled Obama, for sure, when she sang her memorable song, “I Have a Crush on Obama,” kissed his photo and posed tantalizingly and waxed almost orgasmic over her far and away choice for president.

Whether looking pretty in pink bikini or sexy in blue hot pants or tight tank top, with “Obama” printed front and rear, Amber left no doubt that Obama was her man, which was evident from the line, “You can Barack me tonight,” whatever that means.

Sadly for her crush, she’s fallen out of crush, telling Sean Hannity on Fox–of all people to confess to even if the venue name fit perfectly!–”Once people–your boyfriend, girlfriend doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do, you kick them to the curb.”

Ouch.

She does end the brief interview with a great, topical reference: “Well, at least I won’t be the Edwards girl, right?”

Whatever you say, Amb. Feel free to warble about a Republican next time around.

His failed promises did Amber in, even if she still gives him a B- . When a lover/crusher goes from A+++ to a B- , can an F be far behind? (See the story and the video here: http://bit.ly/d7m5X8)

Arrogance on the East River

Arrogance on the East River

“Ya gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em,/ Know when to walk away, know when to run.” Johnny Cash’s words to the wise gambler are lost on the U.N. and the Why would they give a damn how much they lost?

Instead, when their backs should be against the wall, when they’re on the ropes, when their goose is cooked–pick your own cliche’–they double down.

Climategate rocked their world back in November when hackers hacked the truth out of the Climate Research Unit, CRU, computers at East Anglia University and exposed the lie of the U.N.-hatched climate change scam, the conspiracy, the cover-ups, the deceptions. (See “Climate . . .” http://bit.ly/ckQlcP et al.)

The bamboozling climatologists still had an ace in the hole and a wild card up their sleeve. The ace was the Nobel Peace Prize the IPCC had won with Al Gore for their alleged contributions to climate research, the wild card was the upcoming International Climate Summit in Copenhagen.

Who could argue with the veracity of a Nobel winner? And just wait until the nations of the world line up to support climate change initiatives!

Well, that ace is looking. . .

A Blogger's Life, Part Two

A Blogger’s Life, Part Two

Sticks and stones may break my bones, depending on the size of the sticks, poundage of the stones, and fragility of my aging bones, but nasty comments on my blogs will never hurt me. In fact, they provide some of the most entertaining features associated with blogging.

It’s a rotten job but someone has to do it and they make it all worthwhile.

As mentioned in Part One, most of the negativity on my articles emanates from those who feel I’ve been unfair in some way to two particular groups–our brother and sister homosexuals and blacks.

I neglected to mention a third group, those of the Jewish persuasion, the result of an intermittent series posted here on the 1967 USS Liberty “incident” in international waters off the Sinai Peninsula.

Anyone familiar with the background of what happened on June 8, 1967 will know that the details of that unprovoked attack by the Israeli Air Force–sworn testimony by crew members and others–have been contested, largely for political reasons, to avoid antagonizing Israel.

Indeed, the reactions to my various Liberty articles . . .

Abortion. a Spectator Sport?

Abortion, a Spectator Sport?


Van Helsing of Moonbattery.com featured an article today, “Bump, Abortion as Entertainment,” referring to a new “tacky pseudoreality show” that just debuted online, Bumptheshow.com.

This is how Van Helsing describes this first-of-a-kind production:

“It’s official– moonbat civilization has reached rock bottom. Abortion is now the subject of a tacky pseudoreality show that launches online today at BumptheShow.com. The fictional docudrama features characters of varying degrees of vileness toying with the idea of abortion. The audience votes on whether the baby should live.

Think Jerry Springer meets Oprah meets ‘American Idol’ meets Dr. Oz meets . . . America’s conscience. . . The idea for the ’show,’ which launches Monday, [the pilot was on last week] was inspired, of all things, by Barack Obama’s commencement address at Notre Dame University last year. When the president said he wanted ‘to find ways to communicate about a workable solution to the problem of unintended pregnancies,’ executive producer Dominic Iocco conceived ‘Bump.’

“You know, so no one gets ‘punished with a baby.’ “

That last, of course, was Barack Obama’s line used when he was asked what he would do should his daughters ever get pregnant out of holy wedlock.

His appearance at Notre Dame’s Commencement last Spring has been treated at some length in this space as one of the most disgraceful events imaginable for an ostensibly “Catholic” institution where Obama, the abortion king of the United States Senate, was feted and awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws as he asked for some “common ground” on the issue of killing pre-born babies. . .

A Blogger's Life, Part One

A Blogger’s Life, Part One

Contrary to popular opinion, blogging is not all Leslie Gore’s sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. Nor is it all brickbats, grenades, and tornadoes.

Then again, when a blogger deals in controversial topics he can’t very well expect either universal plaudits or universal condemnation.

This blogsite tries to cover it all, from all the “problems in America”–which are multitudinous–to some less-encompassing “solutions for America,” which is a tall order on both counts, an order that also falls short on more than a few counts.

The articles here, 98% of which are original pieces, have been sourced, written, edited, and posted by one man, yours truly. With almost 1500 articles now in the hopper over the course of about 2 years, I can’t say all–or any–would be Pulitzer Prize winners out in the print world.

However, much of the tripe passed off as print journalism is literally not worth the newsprint on which it appears and as Dems like to say, I tried to do my best. It’s the effort that counts, right?

And, not that I’d admit to consistently stirring the controversy pot, but certain articles have evoked considerable reaction both on-site and in the dozen or so other website venues on which I’ve re-posted for greater exposure.

Hey! Given the competition in the blogworld–almost 23 million as of 9 months ago according to the World Street Journal, which should mean close to 25 million today–it’s a blog eat blog world so re-posting is a necessity. Whatever works.

At least I don’t have to say I’m one of the nearly half a million people who earn their daily bread by blogging: http://bit.ly/QXzMt
