Obama, “Aloha From Hawaii – The Rest Of You Stay And Work” Open Thread »

Yes, it is that time of year again, when Obama and Family head off to Hawaii for a bit of R&R. Obama’s SEVENTEEN day vacation is set to start on December 17th. His office said he had no public events planned. In other words, this is a total vacation from all of his hard work. [...]

This And That *Open Thread* »

So we are back from our excursion to Grand Cayman for some snorkeling, good food, and a look at a possible vacation investment. There is a reason why I am mentioning this. I just have to share what one of the owners of the development said while we were chatting. She said she didn’t know [...]

Tofurkey, Texas? Obama,The Harvard Year, And TGIF Open Thread »

Evidently, PETA has managed to do SO Much on behalf of animals, that they are now targeting the names of towns. I am not making this up, I swear. Yes, PETA, in its infinite wisdom, has requested that Turkey, Texas, change its name to Tofurky, Texas. No, seriously. For real: As Thanksgiving approaches, PETA (People [...]

Turns Out Obama’s Current Message Is Just Like His Old Message *Open Thread* »

Well, well, well, seems Barack Obama’s message isn’t as Fresh! and New! as we were led to believe it was. Recently discovered was this 2004 ad campaign by Barack Obama, complete with his fake Southern sing-songy accent (though as the Daily Caller article points out, he was in a church so you know, he had [...]

A Little Karma, A Big Mouth, A Stunning Copper Crime, And A Kitty Caper *Open Thread* »

First, at long last, the head of Solyndra finally, and very, very quietly, stepped down this past Friday from his post. Yes, CEO Brian Harrison is out at the failed solar company (I reckon that shouldn’t REALLY be a surprise, right?). The report claims it is unclear if Mr. Harrison left when he did for [...]

Obama: Words vs. Deeds »

President Barack “I’m a warrior for the middle class” Obama may talk the talk, but his lifestyle is rather atypical of how 99.9% of the middle class lives. There are the swelling numbers of unemployed now homeless, including military veterans. Now students are joining the ranks of the homeless. There is no government funding for [...]

Say What? The Obama Administration Was Tough On Women? »

Say it isn’t so! How can this possibly be that the Man Who Would Be King allowed women to be treated like complete and utter crap in his Administration? What a surprise! What a shock! How in the world could this man who had done so much for women allowed this to happen within his [...]

Those In The Know Changing Their Tune Too Late To Matter »

Well, well, well. All kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Hillary Clinton oughta give Obama a run for him money. From the recent Chicago Tribune Editorial by Steve Chapman in which he exhorts Obama to step down, and Clinton to step up, to Dick Cheney, who not only suggested she would [...]

“If You Love Me…” *Open Thread* »

You know about what I am talking – Obama’s exhortation to a bunch of college kids to tell Congress to pass his bill because they love him. Probably the worst reason on the face of the planet to pass legislation using a bill that the president insists be signed in its entirety, without studying the [...]

This Says It All *Open Thread* UPDATED »

Update below the fold. I received the following photos from my friend, Artemis, this morning. I think this sums up perfectly the difference between who we could have had, and who we have.

The Weiner Scandal: So Much Rage, So Little Time… »

There are so many ways to dissect and decry Congressman Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal, it is tough to know where to start. First, there is the unfortunate mental pictureof a 46-year-old Congressman who sits in his well appointed office during one of the most difficult times in our nation’s history, but instead of doing the [...]

If You Can Read This… »

Chances are 50-50 you probably aren’t from Detroit. As it turns out, about half of the adult population in Detroit is functionally illiterate. Almost HALF. That is a staggering number. How in the sam hill can that possibly be? I am serious – how in the world, in the United States of America, can this [...]

Hoopla!! »

Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

What’s the Big Stink About Trump? »

It is odd that progressives and conservatives alike are so preoccupied with Donald Trump’s potential run for the Presidency while simultaneously averring from the depths of their collective beings that he would have no merit as a candidate. Whether he would make a good or horrible president is not the point — not at this [...]

More “Birther Nonsense” »

So speaketh Bill O’Reilly, who gets major props from Jon Stewart for saying so. The Business Insider has this headline declaring the Good News, “HALLELUJAH! Jon Stewart Thanks Bill O’Reilly For Smacking Down Trump’s Birther Nonsense.” O’Reilly responded to the issue since Donald Trump brought it up again. But that is not the point of [...]
