The Shirt Off Obama's Back

So C.N.N. (the Communist News Network) is selling T-shirts that read, "Obama raises his hand and lifts a nation."
They should read, "Obama raises his hand and the brown shirt media goose-steps in line."

Where's the Beef?

If an oil executive serves wagyu beef on a corporate jet and Barry O. is not on board,
is it a crime?

Until You Turn Blue in the Face

New Sexretary of State Hillary Clinton said that with Obama now at the top (another discussion for another day), the whole world is now exhaling. Remembering that her husband never inhaled, she is certainly poised as an expert on heavy breathing.

Multiple Musings

• What a brilliant pick, put a tax cheat in charge of the IRS. He knows all of the tricks. Should be able to really ramp up enforcement!
• So who is paying the room & board for Barry's mother-in-law living at the White House? Are we taxpayers footing the bill? Just how far does our First Family hospitality extend? Third cousins twice removed?
• Just heard Madeline Albright on a radio talk-show. She is maybe qualified to sell used brassieres at a small shop in Brooklyn.

This Ain't Your Father's Fox News

His first official TV interview. Sort of sums it all up.

Here Come da Prez!

So I skipped watching any of the inauguration yesterday and instead put on some 1950’s rock-and-roll CD’s. My how far we have come. That was real music. At noon here I went to the shooting range and put about 50 rounds downrange. Boy the chatter there was not very favorable about the new wunderkind. When I got back to the office I listened to excerpts from B.O.’s speech as well as some of the musings of various other speakers. What I heard of B.O.’s speech was flat and uninspiring, if not downright depressing. I did take notice when he said that we need to get busy again remaking America. What?? I don’t want America remade, particularly in his image. I kind of like our current constitution. Perhaps he would consider simply abiding by and enforcing that document for a start. Given where we are that could be construed as remaking America. I am also not too fond of his proposal for a large, well-funded national service corps, aka The Hitler Youth. Maybe green shirts instead of brown, though. I can just envision them knocking on my door telling me to turn down my heat and get rid of my V-8. The car, not the juice.
Then I heard Reverend Joseph Lowery talking about mellow yellow people and the white people needing to embrace what is right. So this is what they mean by post-racial?? Statements like that will certainly go far in promoting unity and love amongst the Kum-ba-Yah crowd. I can just see those rednecks in the South that Tom Brokaw dissed beating their shotguns into Obama commemorative candlestick holders.
And how about that poet laureate, Elizabeth Alexander? I listened to that offering of hers several times and still have no idea what she was trying to say. It sounded like the random writings of a febrile five year-old. Why must we be submitted to this poetry thingy every four years? It does not make the new president seem erudite and sophisticated, but rather buffoonish. Maya Angelou was enough already.
It seems altogether much ado about nothing. An inauspicious start for an unknown entity now masquerading as the leader of the free world. The first pop-culture president. “We don’t know what he stands for or plans to do, but ain’t he cool?”
And then there are the pictures of the National Mall knee-deep in the trash of the clean-up-the-planet crowd. Hmmm, I guess this is one of the jobs that Americans simply won’t do. Gotta have amnesty.
Oh well, when the collective national hangover clears and the fog lifts perhaps Americans will realize that they don’t really want to dance with the one that brung them.
Set your sights on 2010!

Curbstone Philosophers

We would all be much better off if we could replace Barney Frank and Chris Dodd with Jed Clampett and Andy Taylor/Griffith. Those highly educated stupid people in Congress are destroying the country. The horse sense of Jed and Andy would right our sinking ship in no time.

Fund the U.S.A., Buy a Chevrolet

So my wife asks me the other day: For 2009 in lieu of paying federal income taxes could we just buy a car from one of the not-so-big-three U.S. manufacturers in an amount of at least our tax liability? That would bypass the government bureaucratic middle-man and give our bailout money directly to the recipient. By cutting out the handling fee more of our money would go right to the people who need it the most.

Just Wave for Help

I believe that the time may have passed for waving the Constitution in front of our elected public servants and start waving the Declaration of Independence. Some of the circumstances are different, but the underlying principles are timeless. "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." --Benjamin Franklin/Thomas Jefferson.
