Yesterday I wrote my Congressman regarding the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States. I told him I hoped he planned to vote against her confirmation, and described some of my reasons. Today I saw this testimony, and Senator Burr, I hope you heard it, too: A Veteran Puts Kagan [...]
Kagan
The invasion continues
No, this isn’t an illegal immigration post. A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive. What. The. Fuck? Imagine the reaction if any non-muslim religion tried to build a house of worship ANYWHERE in Afghanistan, Iraq… [...]
Arizona isn’t laughing
So stop making bad jokes and get to work doing what the people want.
Conspiracy Theorists Gone Wild!
I don’t know who Mr. Orengo is – he could be a Kenyan Ron Paul – but I find it hilarious to read this in an official (Kenyan) government document, over two weeks old, having heard not a peep about it on the news. If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity [...]
Late Friday Night
In the last year, how many times can you recall the phrase “in a statement released late Friday night” in reference to some embarrassing tidbit released by the Obama administration? Too many, certainly. This morning, it was the new muslim envoy to yet another radical islamic nutjob group (why do we seem to have so [...]
2010 State of the Union
I mentioned this to people at work the other day, but haven’t seen another comment/post/blog about it, so I guess I’d better before I forget. The president has an annoying habit of thumping his hands on the podium when he speaks. I don’t know if he’s always had it and I never noticed, or if [...]
Was that a deadline?
Make no mistake (and damn do I hate that phrase), I have no desire to see the maggots housed in the cells in Guantanamo released anywhere in the world, let alone inside the continental United States. That being said, I just cannot resist the urge to point out another failure of Barry and Co. Obama [...]
Obama Fan
Got this one from a friend who likes to forward jokes and such… gave me a chuckle, so I thought I’d share: A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans. Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids [...]
PAKistan
Someone tell the President that the name of that country is spelled with an ‘A’. Every time he pronounces it like some native tribesman, I want to scream. And no, don’t tell me that technically he’s pronouncing it correctly. This is the United States. We speak American English. We do not speak PACK-i-STAN-EE. Enough said.
Saturday Night Politics
Nancy kept the House in session late on a Saturday in order to twist enough arms to get her nearly 2000 page POS passed. Harry is planning to do the same to the Senate this weekend. Does anyone still believe this health care fiasco is above board, proper, legal, and necessary? BOHICA, America. This is [...]
Tainting the Pool
It occurred to me on my drive to work today, that Obama’s statements yesterday would only make it harder to put terrorists on in New York City. He referred to, basically, ‘a fair trial and a speedy execution’. No lawyer in the world would neglect to bring this up at trial. A quick check now [...]
Mr. Attorney General
Lindsey Graham schools the Attorney General of the United States on the finer points of law. Holder stammers. Continuously.
Embarrassing
Dear Mr. President, When are you going to stop being such an ass-clown and start performing even the most basic diplomatic tasks in the manner prescribed? This is not how you gain the respect of the world. I’m seriously starting to believe this is some sort of “alien race agrees to pass on the secrets [...]
Disconnect
Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting This was something I was hoping would be commented on. Kind of weird to read it on an NBC website. From Chicago. But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. [...]
