Smelling Rats
I don’t think I’ve ever smelled a rat. Dead mice, yeah, but never a rat. I can only assume that dead rats are as olfactorily offensive as dead mice. I’ve never actually seen rats deserting a sinking ship, either, but I’m guessing they do since diving into the briny sure must beat drowning in a stinking hold.
A particularly offensive and noisome living rat is 55 year old Bill Maher. Best known for his uber-politically correct, thankfully defunct tv show on Comedy Central, “Politically Incorrect” and acting credits in such classic films as ”Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death,” Maher took up political commentary after a failed career as a stand-up comic and has finally said something worth hearing.
Considering the law of averages, it was bound to happen.
In a televised panel discussion with other nonentities, Maher first said of President Obama that, “He’s pretending to be a centrist” and suggested Obama was a hypocrite on gay marriage. He then dropped a blockbuster by saying the president was “not a Christian” as he has claimed but “a secular humanist just like his mother.”
Just incidentally, the atheistic philosophy of secular humanism rejects all faith and dogma in favor of a reliance on reason as a path toward morality, a subjective approach to life which could explain both Obama’s life and his manner of governing.
Of course, Maher found time to slam Iowa Republican caucus members as well, calling them “the children of the corn” and adding that ten of twenty five of them called Obama a Muslim. Do they know what a Muslim is?” See the 3 minute video of all the hilarity here: http://tiny.cc/9kxj8
Let’s just see, now. Mr. Tingles, “Hardball’s” Chris Matthews, who gets thrills up his leg in the presence of Barack Hussein Obama, recently gave support to contentions of the so-called “Birthers” that Obama wasn’t born in America by insisting the president produce his birth certificate. He was just joined by Maher in suggesting the president is a liar. . .

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,. . .
