Damned good start for Sharon..

It seems that LCR's and RightKlik's call for a mini-cash bomb for Sharon Angle is not a bad investment. Hell, it sure is going to work out better than the few hundred shares of BP I now have that The Chief A**hole is doing his best to savage. Anyway, according to Scott Rasmussen, Nevada Republicans are solidifying behind her and she is leading Harry Reid:

Sharron Angle, following her come-from-behind Republican Primary win Tuesday, has bounced to an 11-point lead over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada’s closely-watched U.S. Senate race. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Nevada, taken Wednesday night, shows Angle earning 50% support while Reid picks up 39% of the vote. Five percent (5%) like some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

Somewhere in the depth of copy or blizzard of polling information on this race, I heard that Reid has never polled over 42% and that's with 100% recognition. (That is, everyone in Nevada knows what an a**hole he is.)  I am given to understand that this is a sure sign of death for a politician. However, we cannot stop here; a week is an eternity in politics, etc. So it's your chance to drive a stake through this idiot's heart.

The cool thing is that she is a product of the Tea Party Movement and nothing the TingleMeister over at MSNBC can do or say will detract from her dumping Dingy Harry's ass into Lake Mead. The other cool thing is that she is getting support from out-of-state. (Read: you, me, LCR, and RightKlik, and the mob.) According to BEFORE IT'S NEWS:

Angle also is beginning to draw financial support as well. She reported on her webpage nearly a million dollars in contributions since the primary.

I received a nice thank you from RightKlik, but I must tell you that the paltry sum I gave to her campaign felt good and, with the help of Mrs War Planner's sammiches, it's going to keep on feeling good up to and including November 2nd when these clowns get flushed.

Livin' Large..Obama Big F[rea]king Deal style II

Did that last post sink in yet? Convinced The Clueless One has..well..no f[rea]king clue?

Maybe this'll help:

Remember November!

GRATUITOUS INSENSITIVE, INAPPROPRIATE DIG AT OBAMA: O.J.,reached for comment at the Gray Bar Hotel in Nevada was quoted as saying, "Sh!t man! If I spent as much time on the links as that ugly-assed dude [referring to Obama], I'da found the perps who offed my bitch!"

Livin' Large..Obama Big F[rea]king Deal style..

Scooter, The Pantload, Skippy, Chimpy the Kenyan, or what ever your favorite sobriquet is for him, you gotta admit that this clown sure likes to live large. According to a Political Hotsheet article (hat tip to Drudge), Obama blew between $500,000 and a cool million yesterday on a ten minute speech:

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Trumpeting the 10,000th road project funded by his Recovery Act, President Obama borrowed two of three words made famous in March by Vice President Biden.

This is a "big....deal," said Mr. Obama, pausing for effect between the two words between which Biden had inserted an expletive in an overheard whisper three months ago.

"Today I return to Columbus to mark a milestone on the road to recovery," the president said. "That's worth a big round of applause."

The White House staged the event here in the political battleground of Ohio, where Democrats face tough congressional races this fall, including a fight to win the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Republican George Voinovich.

Flanked by construction workers in helmets and yellow safety vests, Mr. Obama tried to score political points via the many jobs programs funded by the Recovery Act.

"More than 100,000 Ohioans are at work today as a result of these steps," he said.

Of course, there's always the GOP members of Congress ready to throw the mandatory bucket of cold water on Skippy's little tonsil parties:

House GOP Leader John Boehner, who represents Ohio's 8th Congressional District, said the administration's stimulus program has fallen short of its promises. He cited new numbers from the Ohio's Department of Job and Family Services that showed the state's unemployment rate "remained above 10 percent for the 14th consecutive month in May:"

And there's always the uncomfortable fact that, in scheduling this pathetic display of bravado, they can't seem to avoid stepping in it. It seems that construction workers (presumably not the paltry few in the picture) were told to take the day off -- without pay -- because of the president's visit. According to Michelle Malkin:

The president blows a trillion taxpayer dollars on a “stimulus” sham and yet can’t find a way to make sure a few construction workers still get a couple hundred dollars each to make themselves scarce during his “10,000th stimulus project” showpiece?

Boy, you can't make this stuff up, can you?

The White House yesterday launched a campaign called "Recovery Summer," in conjunction with thousands of new jobs programs funded by the Recovery Act being initiated. But Boehner portrays the campaign as bogus.

"This will be no 'recovery summer' for the more than 100,000 Ohioans who have lost their jobs since the 'stimulus' was enacted," he said in a written statement meant to undermine Mr. Obama's visit.

Left unasked in all this flap, of course, is how many gallons of crude seeped into the Gulf while The Pantload was flapping his lyin' lips in Ohio for ten minutes?

Recovery Summer, John? How about Recover November!

(Credit where credit department: thanks to King's Jester, me, my friend Dave at work, and poster TexEd over at PJM for their generosity in loaning me the use of Obama nicknames for this article.)

CLOSE-THE-LOOP UPDATE: ..oh, I almost forgot. Skippy finished off the trifecta with another -20 percent in the Rasmussen Daily Tracking.

Remember that this is a three-day moving average of the polling done by Rasmussen and today's numbers are the third day since the famous "I have a Scheme" speech by Obama from his Oval Orifice. So, yeah, you could say that people were largely unimpressed by his bloviation.

So many straight lines, so little time..

The dreaded vuvuzela claims its first victim: Woman bursts her windpipe 'by blowing too hard'

Insurance saleswoman Yvonne Mayer, 29, was unable to speak or eat for two days after ripping her windpipe when she blew the three foot horn during a street party in Cape Town.

The next day shocked doctors diagnosed her with a ruptured throat and ordered her to rest it completely to allow it to heal.

The bizarre injury is the first known vuvuzela-related accident since the World Cup kicked off last week.

Yvonne, from Cape Town, said: 'I had never blown a vuvuzela before but was given one at work and was going to watch the first South Africa match so thought I'd take it along.

'I was walking towards the Fan Park in Cape Town and blowing it as hard as I could when suddenly my throat started to hurt.

She should of..

Now there's a woman who..

Didn't she used to star in that movie, Deep..

..naw. I can't do it. I must preserve what little dignity is left on this site. I'll just leave it at her being only one in thousands of terminally stupid and annoying people in South Africa who are ruining it for football fans watching all over the world.

(But not for me, old son. I have got about 16 hours of pre-recorded ESPN Tractor Pulls and Monster Truck shows to catch up on.)

BP Bulletin..

This is a cheap, shameless plug for a site I stumbled across the other day. Entitled "Scooter's Report", it is ass-kickingly hilarious with some great pics -- almost rivaling those found over on Woodsterman's site.

Scooter's take on the news is -- well -- not exactly in the Paul Harvey school of journalism vein if you catch my drift:

Oh my..

..it seems that, with the 2nd day's data of the Rasmussen daily tracking poll factored in, The Pantload has dropped from a pair o' -20s to a -21 percent:

Remember that the daily tracking survey is done on a three-day moving average. It's probably safe to assume -- with this drop from a previous near-low-water mark -- that Obama did not do himself any good with that pathetic speech.

UPDATE: Of course, I missed the obvious take-away from today's numbers: Obama's approval numbers have hit an all-time low of 41 percent! And, as usual, Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air! hits it out of the park with his analysis:

Obama may not be in Bush-approval territory, but that’s the direction he’s heading. One thing is certain: Obama can’t get a bounce any more just from giving a speech.

Take the teleprompter away from The Pantload and he may just as well spend his time out on the links..

..oh, wait!

Pinball Wizard v. Pinhead Wizards..

I used to bag on him quite a bit and never really cared for his treacly/contrived music. But, of late, Elton John is being moved front and center in my own personal R'n'R hall of fame:

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - A concert by Elton John has given Israelis a boost after a string of cancellations by other world-famous artists.

The British rocker performed late Thursday in front of a screaming crowd of nearly 50,000 fans at a Tel Aviv stadium.

John, who wore blue-tinted sunglasses, told the audience those cancellations "ain't gonna stop me from playing here, baby."

Recent cancellations by the Pixies and Elvis Costello, who cited Israeli government policies, have added to Israel's growing sense of isolation.

John swiped at those artists, saying, "We do not cherry-pick our consciences," before hitting the opening chords of his 1972 hit "Crocodile Rock."

Here's one of my favorites by Sir Elton:



..a damned sight better than this turd:

Standing our ground..

Sometimes I weary of the sarcastic, cynical post I am compelled to put up here to attract visitors. I want desperately to go back to what's important. I received a heart-rending e-mail form Robin -- out of the blue -- and was compelled to write in response:

"I liken our effort to that of the patriots who are, for the moment, huddled in the front room cutting patches of linen and melting the pewterware into shot.

Soon the Captain's call will draw us forth into the early dawn, when we must trek down to the town square and stand our place on the common with our brethren -- musket, patch, shot, and power at our side -- awaiting the Redcoat's arrival.

Keep your power dry my brothers and sisters, and waste not this wonderful time to stand up for the principles that made our country strong."

God bless you all and God give you strength in the upcoming fight!

The Speech: First of three..

Rasmussen does it's daily tracking of presidential popularity as a three-day moving average. Yesterday, the polling did not reflect (or minimally reflected) the Oval Office fiasco delivered by The Pantload and the results stood at -20% (the difference between the strongly approve versus strongly disapprove). Today, presumably with the first day of the speech's influence factored in, the same index still remains at -20 percent. In other words, the results from today's poll had no effect whatsoever.

..it will be interesting to see what eventuates tomorrow and the next day as this remaining two days' data get rolled in. But, so far, this is not even a dead cat bounce; it's more like a dead cat crater.

Deja vu all over again..

For those of you who were in swaddling clothes prior to the ascent of Ronald Reagan, there's this piece done by Americans for Prosperity.

..believe me, I knew Jimmah Carter and this man Obama is no Jimmah Carter. Carter was cool, calm, collected, understood Nuclear energy, remained off golf courses during the hostage crisis, and could whack the crap out of a killer rabbit if attacked.

Not all of the news about the Gulf spill is bad..

Cuba braces to contend with BP oil spill

Leftist hack hag NYT columnist and broken clock..II

Well, MoDo has done it again; now the Pantload will now have a choice of how to defecate, or load up his pants twice as fast, or become a TWO-POSOTUS..

..o.k., that's it for the scatological comments (for the moment).

But, like I said before, she's right at least twice a day. So, this is MoDo II, served up fresh and hot for your enjoyment:

President Obama’s bloodless quality about people and events, the emotional detachment that his aides said allowed him to see things more clearly, has instead obscured his vision. It has made him unable to understand things quickly on a visceral level and put him on the defensive in this spring of our discontent, failing to understand that Americans are upset that a series of greedy corporations have screwed over the little guy without enough fierce and immediate pushback from the president.

So she wants the diffident one who has spent the last two months bopping with brain-dead, library-less media stars, strutting on Gulf the beaches sucking down [yellow] snow cones, and sashaying around golf courses to show a little more emotion and involvement? Well, that gets kind curious here -- and for a brief instant I wish I had devoted some time to following MoDo -- because I am sure she was/is/will be again one of the leg-tinglers. That is, I remember listening to Imus during the waning years of the Clinton regime and hearing Dowd and some other clown with one of those depressing, middle-class Boston accents, bag on Clinton's flurry of misdeeds -- dress soiling, cohiba-izing interns, and the like -- thinking that the empire was about to crumble.

But, of course it never did and the Mercurial Ms Dowd always snapped back into full-on adulation mode.

That is what will happen here. Mark my words. In the mean time, we'll let time move on and poor little Maureen stay where she is -- until next time.

..keep thinking schadenfreude, I am.

Aftermath..

In the wake of the "first speech by Obama from the Oval office evah..", there have been some interesting reactions and observations. I thought I'd set up this post as an all-day collection point for me to slam my half-witted thoughts into inasmuch as i have a busy schedule. But to set the tone, I should like to call your attention to King's Jester's observations, to set the tone for the daily additions I might come up with (emphasis mine):

"Fifty-seven days into the crisis, oil continues to gush from the broken wellhead, millions of gallons a day, and the fact that Obama has not done anything to stem the leak has raised serious doubts about his leadership and his administration’s response to what Obama has called the nation’s worst environmental disaster."

..also, a colorful rant and interesting observation can be found over at Amusing Bunni's site (the sweetest blogger in the world with the saltiest language; I love her!) -- she opines that, while Ogabe was hitting the American public up for money (a new tax) he was sending out solicitation letters to get the funds for a new hitch in D.C.:

UPDATE ... UPDATE Well Well, bammy is at it again! Just a few hours after the Hindenburg speech, OFA, Obummer's website, sent me this e-mail: I will paste below, but I'm not linking the POS POTUS! SHAMEFUL, Begging for money again. THAT was the reason for his "speech". That and pushing crap & Tax, or whatever they're calling it now.

Git on over there and check it out, it's to delicious for words. More when I get this pesky app I am writing debugged and tested. BCNU.

BREAK IN THE ACTION: ..a pause in the debugging effort to call your attention to a great idea over at Left Coast Rebel. He calls it "Ten Buck Fridays" and it's about, well, let him explain it:

"Conceived over at Conscientiously Conservative, the idea is to encourage like-minded conservatives to give $10 per week (until election day) to principled conservative candidates who need help."

It's a great idea and I think I will be doing that as a gesture of my devotion to the prospect of flushing these turds. Won't you consider the same?

..now back to that hammered pointer.

IT TRICKLES IN: Rasmussen's Daily Tracking (summary link over on the right there) reports that Obama has slipped to his lowest approval numbers since his inauguration. Here's as sample of Scott Rasmussen's pronouncement:

Overall, 42% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. That’s the lowest level of approval yet recorded for this president. Fifty-seven percent (57%) now disapprove. Those are the lowest ratings yet recorded for this president. The president’s approval rating has held steady in the 46% - 47% range for six months and it remains to be seen whether this new low is merely statistical noise or the start of a lasting change.

My question is why is his approval still in the 40s and the "exit quesiton" as Allapundit is wont to say, is when will it hit the 30s?

President Yellow Snow [Cone] Sucker shows his hand..

..so maybe there was a strategy behind the inaction and endless parties, rounds of golf, and boogieing with Paul (the Brain-left Beatle) McCartney. It seems that President Hatchet-Ass and his student-mugging, Democrat buddies in congress REALLY want to enact their precious Crap-and-Tax legislation enacted.

Here is is the dour, plodding Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, who while is on the verge of lapsing into terminal somnolence, manages to make several good points and ask some pretty embarrassing questions..

..if your are a snow-cone sucking, golf-ball hitting, do-nothing metro-sexual chief executive:

..I told you I was late to the dance, didn't I?

UPDATE: Before you get too wrapped around the axle with "Mumbles" McConnell (Lord, I am being a little too harsh, aren't I?) go here and here  for a couple of articles where grown-ups tear apart the Skittle-crapping-Unicorn fantasies and the fusillades of pixie dust. They are worthy of your perusal but -- warning! -- do not operate heavy machinery whilst reading.

Son of UPDATE: Scooter waked up; details here; film at eleven!

End times II..

Well, Mrs War Planner and I are going over to Sports Authority to get me a tent so I can participate in Amateur Radio's Field Day a couple of weeks from now and when i get back I will be busy cleaning out the toilets, the grease traps, and the septic tank out back. So, no, I will not be watching The Pantload deliver his sack-of-sh!t bleatings about how he is noT responsible, how BP's is responsible, how Bush is responsible, and how he really enjoyed the relaxing break from the rigors of non-stop golf by walking on the beaches down at the Gulf, sipping Yellow Snow Cones through a straw..

..but my grumpiness has caused me to wander off course. Let's see, oh yeah! I was talking about the tent and Field Day. Here is a link to an old post -- actually my second as as my former incarnation as Войска ПВО (Voyska PVO) -- and it explains my other obsession besides bagging on The Light-Bringer.

But before I head off with the scrub brush and the Tidy Bowl, I thought I'd get you folks as worked up about screaming assh*ole Democrat congressmen as I am:

..please burn this in your brains along with the other images of these butt-wipes running amok so you can act accordingly in the run-up to November 2nd.

Oh, I almost forgot. If any of you who stop buy happen to be ham radio operators, leave me a comment and say hello.

End times..

Via Drudge, further tidbits evidencing a tremor in the force for Kaptain Kick-Ass, the Supreme High Straw Sucker, may just yet be a one-termer.

It seems that, among The Pantload's other crumbling numbers is the fact that he has now fallen far astern of his former presidential rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Dana Milbank, in the Washington Post, writes:

By any measure -- favorability ratings or job approval -- Americans by a sizable margin have warmer views of the secretary of state than they do of the president. This is of little use to Clinton beyond bragging rights, but among Hillary '08 fans there is some satisfaction that the woman Obama once cut down as "likable enough" is now more liked than he is. Depending on the measure and the poll, she leads him by roughly 10 to 25 percentage points.

To understand why, look no further than their calendars for Monday. The president was in Alabama and Mississippi, trying again to change the public perception that his administration has been weak in ts response to the oil spill. The secretary of state was in Washington receiving plaudits for being a "passionate leader" and for taking a "resolute and genuine" stand against human trafficking and slavery.

It is basically another ass-smooch of the libs, by the libs, and for the libs but it is also a comparison of Clinton's performance of her duties and the relative success she has had versus our current Wall-Banger-in-Chief. It also addresses the obvious conclusion:

That statement was enough to send the likes of Bill O'Reilly, the conservative Fox News commentator, to outline a potential Clinton primary challenge to Obama in 2012. There's no sign of such a hallenge, but there's no disputing that Obama has fallen below Clinton.

Yeah, right, WaPo libs, there's no disputing that at all. But then again, everyone's pulled ahead of that challenged, mental midget, obsessed with sucking lemon snow cones up with a straw, glad-handing adoring sycophants on photo-ops, and sashaying around the links instead of dealing with the important aspects of his job.

I guess what is so maddening about this about whole Beltway press corps mindset is that they all raise foreplay to a fine are bordering on the tedious. I mean, their mating rituals before revelations reach climax (he said pruriently torturing the metaphor) are seemingly interminable. So let's cut to the chase and I'll lay my money on the table; go "all in" as it were. What the hell, I don;t have a reputation to preserve here -- leastwise not a rep that's is worth preserving.

Anyway, here's what happens: The Dems take the pipe in November -- like I've said many times before -- and the downward slide begins. Obama -- even more neutered than he is now -- cannot get squat done with what ever power is left to him so he begins to flail. Orders of magnitude more ineffectual and feeling the love leak out of his personal balloon (a though abhorrent to this narcissist), the hatchet-assed metro-sexual engages in an orgy of teleprompter-guided appearances that would make the first ten months of this presidency seem like our leader was Ben Gunn, the marooned recluse on Treasure Island.

Numbers plummet for two reasons: (1) he just flat turns people off with the frequency of his speeches and the halting, condescending speaking style and those horrid, sibilant whistling teeth and (2) his magic has faded and the American Idol public will be searching for another messiah to send a tingle up their legs.

Finally, no one in Congress want to have anything to do with him so he is virtually ignored. And, since he has already appointed a czar to take care of virtually aspect of his job, then he spends the rest of the time out on the links or flying the FLOTUS to various cities for date nights on our nickel.

When it gets to desperation time and becomes readily apparent -- even to the former kneepad media -- this fool will have trashed the (questionable) good name of the Democrat party label, Hillary will burst on the scene, immense thighs quivering, and announce in stentorian tones that she's sick of this crap and is here to save the day.

..and after Hillary has been facing us for weeks with her announcements and pre-campaigning..then..only then..will the WaPo move the story to the front page and give up on trying to find out who the students were that viciously attacked Congressman Ethridge on his way to/from a fundraiser many months ago.

President Snowcone practicing..

..for his Gulf clean-up effort?

But apparently not hard enough.

It seems that Public Policy Polling (courtesy Allahpundit over at Hot Air!) has some results to a recent pol that say Louisiana residents say Bush did a better job handling Katrina than Obama has done handling the Gulf oil spill:

Our new Louisiana poll has a lot of data points to show how unhappy voters in the state are with Barack Obama's handling of the oil spill but one perhaps sums it up better than anything else- a majority of voters there think George W. Bush did a better job with Katrina than Obama's done dealing with the spill.

Keep suckin' that chicken, Ogabe!

WaPo whitewashes Ethridge in Citizen Mauling case..

Man, am I getting good at writing inflammatory headlines or what?

Remember this?

Well, the Washington Post -- in typical fashion -- wants to get to the bottom of this and determine..

..why Ethridge is at fault?

..why charges are not being files against a congressman who manhandled a student on a public street?

..where the outrage is over the lack of contrition by Ethridge?

No, actually, they are running a short piece on who the students were:

Who are the videographers? Lots of theories about GOP operatives, but no one has come forward to take credit, reports our colleague David Weigel. The reason for stopping Etheridge outside a fundraiser for Nancy Pelosi? "A project," one of the men said on the video. Anything happen that's not on the tape? Unclear, since no other version of the encounter has emerged. The National Journalism Center and the Leadership Institute, two Virginia organizations that train conservative journalists (the latter boasts ACORN sting artist James O'Keefe), flatly denied the men worked for them, as did the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Gasp! They might be evil Republican operatives? Heaven forfend! I guess by asking these penetrating questions in the article (which, of course, go unanswered), the probably want to deflect some heat away from the North Carolina conngressman.

The readers aren't buying it. Check out a couple of comments -- most of which chide the WaPo for missing the obvious story:

Disgusting as usual WaPo! If I didn't know what your agenda was I would struggle to confirm who was the villain in this story. What is it about the Progressive agenda that you are so desperate to protect? Is there anything that would get you to report the news rather than try to shape it? Is there anything vile enough that a Democrat/Socialist/Communist can do that would make you report the story in such a way as to portray the Democrat/Socialist/Communist in the poor light the deserve? I am struggling to understand why your allegiance to these people is so incredibly unflappable. I can't imagine what depths they must sink to for you to report the news as it should be in a story such as this. This Congressman is a despicable human being!

.and..

What difference does it make who Etheridge attacked? Is it "OK" that he attacked them if they were Republicans? Not students? Their identity is 100% irrelevant to his conduct, which unarguably terrible and disgraceful. Stop making excuses for this arrogant thug.

..and again..

Not only should he be tried for assault, but he should submit to drug testing. What normal person behaves like that? And look at his face, does that look like someone clean to you? He serves public office, it should be mandatory anyways. We need to know our public workers are clean and sound of mind when they perform their duties.

Again, I recommend you head over there and sample them yourself. It's pretty much all unfavorable towards this attempt at deflection by the Post.Oh, and, just for grins, Adam Goldstein over at HuffPo gets his licks in:

I don't. I don't care if it's a Republican operative--congressmen shouldn't assault Republican operatives. I don't care if it's an ambush interview--congressmen shouldn't attack ambush interviewers. I don't care if it's the ghost of Richard Nixon, foaming at the mouth rabid and wearing nothing but a placard accusing Etheridge of being of questionable parentage. No matter who this is, Etheridge doesn't have the legal right to put hands on him for asking a question.

Some people are trying to deflect blame by questioning the motives of the would-be interviewer, as if the law of assault was a complicated moral issue. It isn't, by the way. It's a simple moral issue. If someone asks you a question, you don't get to start grabbing him or her. Asking whether the questioner has some political motive is as morally bankrupt as asking what specifically Tina Turner said to Ike before he started hitting her--as if there were any answer that would suddenly make the conduct okay.

I guess that pretty much sums up against Ethridge and the WaPao, doesn't it? I mean if most of the liberal readership and a columnist at a liberal blog condemn this, then you've pretty much screwed the pooch, haven't you?

By the way, Here is the Hot Air! piece on the unedited Ethridge videos, by the way.

Nation of wimps..

This just hit me from Memeorandum over there on the right. It's a story about Meg Whitman pushing some employee when she was CEO at eBay because she was pissed that the employee was not doing the job that he should.

Predictable.

Here's the 4-1-1:

In June 2007, an eBay employee claimed that Ms. Whitman became angry and forcefully pushed her in an executive conference room at eBay’s headquarters, according to multiple former eBay employees with knowledge of the incident. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter was delicate and was deemed to be strictly confidential.

The employee, Young Mi Kim, was preparing Ms. Whitman for a news media interview that day. Ms. Kim, who was not injured in the incident, hired a lawyer and threatened a lawsuit, but the dispute was resolved under the supervision of a private mediator.

Let's see now, the employee is a sluggo, pisses off the boss, gets pushed, and sues.

Again, predictable.

C'mon, fercrissakes, she's also a woman! And she's your boss! I have gotten into several shoving matches with bosses, co-workers, and strangers but, in all cases, don't go running to my attorney in a fit of tears. Oh, by the way, the little wuss-ette got a settlement from Whitman and this story was probably run so as to cast Meg in a bad light -- rotten bully, unreasonable boss and all that.

On the other side of the coin, I just figured out that I will be working for Whitman for Governor out here as well. I mean, any woman who has the stones, figuratively speaking of course, to push some employee around because the person is a lazy, worthless idiot, then she'll probably make a great governor.

Certainly better than the girly-man with the steroid-shriveled genitalia we got in Sacramento now. I'd sure as hell like to see Meg slap those idiots in the state legislature around a bit. Worth the price of admission and all that.

You go, girl!

Star Wars Trollop disses Teabaggers..

Disclaimer: another round of cheap whiskey and a relatively rotten mood drive this post but I found out that Carrie Fisher is a big-time Obama bum-osculator, courtesy of a post at Hot Air!:

Is there anyone you haven’t met that you’ve always wanted to?
Obama.

I’m surprised you haven’t met him.
I know. I love him. Hopefully I’ll meet him sometime. I’m just happy he exists.

Do you think Tea Party is just people who are pissed that there is an African American president?
Yup, and the fact that they chose to call themselves “teabaggers,” which is slang for a certain act involving b***s. It sort of says a lot. I would say a mouthful. Looks like it’s very upsetting for them, but he’s brilliant. The thing is, he’s half white but that’s still not enough — for them it’s all white or f**k off. I think we don’t deserve him and certainly teabaggers don’t deserve him.

Quite a mouth on that bitch, ain't it?

Just as few things occur to me: (1) I was not aware that the members of the Tea Party movement "chose to call themselves Teabaggers" and (2) who is she to lecture anyone on sexual proclivities when she runs around in her birthday suit wearing only a brassiere and panties made out of 10 gauge stripped copper Romex and chained to a puss-bag like Jabba the Hut? Maybe off-world BDSM with desert planet walruses is her bag.

After all, didn't she and her brother have the hots for each other until their dad -- some evil reconstituted cyborg with a hideous sinus problem -- straighten them out?

I dunno, maybe Belushi was right to have dropped her in the sewer and skedaddled in Blue Brothers.

President Snow Cone does it again..

..another PR photo-op triumph!

I feel the scales falling from my eyes as I write. I feel the tears welling up in these self-same orbs and gladness and hope and joy fill my heart and exhilaration seizes my aged frame. The Light-Bringer hath descended from D.C. and proclaimed that the seas will recede and that they shall become pure again. Again at the Gulf, he has shown us what he -- as dear leader -- is capable of with the mere prosaic props of everyday life..or so CNN would have you believe..

Theodore, Alabama (CNN) - President Barack Obama used a lemon-lime snow cone to show that parts of the Gulf Coast remain unaffected by the oil spill –and that he's fully engaged in the ongoing crisis on a day and a half visit to the region.

At his first stop in Gulfport, Mississippi, the president was briefed by Admiral Thad Allen and other officials on the latest effort to cap and contain the oil. And the president said that many locations are still open for tourism and unaffected by the spill.

"We just want to make sure that people who have travel plans down to the Gulf area remain mindful of that, because if people want to know what can they do to help folks down here, one of the best ways to help is to come down here and enjoy the outstanding hospitality," the president said.

The president said he was updated on the need for better coordination of Skimmers and other assets involved in the effort, so that more oil is kept off area beaches.

Obama said they also discussed concerns about problems residents are facing as they file claims to recover money from BP.

But am I missing something? How did The First Turd Bag demonstrate all of this with a mere snow cone and a visit to the Gulf? Unless CNN truly thinks they can trowel all kind of ethereal bullsh!t into their articles and we're going to lap it up like a bunch of folks coming in from a desert hike?

I mean, seriously, who writes this crap? I gotta believe it's straight from the Chief Metro-Sexual POSOTUS' bare-chested beer-ponging staff to the fawning sycophantic corps(e) of CNN pool reporters to some zitty intern sitting on a word processor out in the early Summer heat and humidity of of Alabama.

This piece continues:

Some residents around Theodore, Alabama, where Obama will tour a staging area in which booms are cleaned and de-contaminated, are glad to be getting the administration's attention.

But one man says it's nothing more than a "photo op." Jim Hall, a retired executive and longtime local resident who has lived and fished on the Gulf since the 1980's, wants the administration to talk less and do more.

..don't we all, Jim, don't we all?

Leftist hack hag NYT columnist and broken clock..

..right at least two times per day.

Believe me, I have no love for Maureen Dowd, the vicious, poisonous, liberal, slavering she-witch columnist for the New York Times. She can pound sand as far as I am concerned. But one of her recent columns -- while not exactly zinging Obama -- has some interesting insights into what may be a failed presidency rotting from within.

In that column, Dowd contrasts the style of Obama versus, of all people, Slow Joe Biden his vice president. Drawn largely from her experience in attending that infamous "soaker-gun" barbecue that "Plugs" held for the press and other lovey-dovey personnel in the current regime, she claims that Biden's handling of the press is somewhat akin to JFK's while Obama's is closer to Nixon's.

Huh?

Well, here goes:

It’s funny how things work out sometimes.

The two men running the White House have very different relationships with the press; one is warm and one is frosty.

One’s relationship is more JFK, and one’s has self-pitying echoes of Nixon.

By all rights, you’d think it would be Joe Biden who would resent journalists for kicking him around for years. It was the press, me included, who reported on the problems that led him to drop out of the 1988 presidential race.

It was the press that delighted in Biden’s foot-in-mouth syndrome in 2008 and played up the exacting Barack Obama’s occasional chagrin at the über-exuberant Joe as they began their odd-couple partnership.

But the column is really a petulant rant on how Obama has been snubbing the press more and more as things go downhill (emphasis added):

Obama refuses to deal with the media world as it is. He’s holding out for the media world that he wants. But that will never be. That disdainful attitude toward 24-hour cable culture is slowing his political reflexes. We’re seeing that in the oil spill. I don’t think it’s personal with him. It’s not that he despises reporters as human beings, like Nixon. He does scores of interviews and he doesn’t rage behind closed doors. But if he doesn’t make more concessions to Washington as it is, he’s going to hurt his presidency.”

Now that Obama has been hit with negative press, he’s even more contemptuous. “He’s never needed to woo the press,” says the NBC White House reporter Chuck Todd. “He’s never really needed us.”

MoDo's statement about Obama not making more concessions to Washington "as it is" I suppose can be read as "be a water-soaking, French fry chompin', touch football playin' sport or well crush your nuts in a vice". You know, the typical inside media arrogance that she attempts to dismiss in her column but that bubbles up in that closing paragraph.

It's not that I hold up either Dowd or Obama as the wronged party needful of defending; I wish a pox on both their houses. It's well, you know, kind of like that horrid couple next door -- the yuppies with a Beemer and a Benz, great clothes, his 'n her Rolexes, six-figure jobs at prestigious firms, and absolutely everything else you are jealous of -- having a series of screaming, knock-down, drag-out fights as they teeter on the edge of the impending, unavoidable divorce.

Absolutely delicious -- and the reason the Germans invented the word "schadenfreude".

So, I submit, MoDo you ought to see a specialist to have your case of cranial-rectal insertion treated. The Pantload caved to "inside Washington" the moment he was inaugurated by serially blowing away every one of his hopey-changey promises and being the leather-bound sub of the whip-cracking Mistress Pelosi. (Now there's a ghastly image.)

Some gratuitous parting comments: If you wish to read the column (and I ain't recommending it) read the comments as well. They are, of course, written by readers of the New York Times, so you know that's got to be a collection of folks with a real clue, right? But among the collection of "leave him alone, Dowd, he's a beautiful light-bringer and needs to transform this plane of existence" bum-osculators, there's some sanity (again, emphasis added):

It's sad. I voted for the man, and my mother was near religious in her support for him, working locally with Obama's campaign. His is looking more and more like a failed presidency in the making, however. If Obama doesn't step it up, becoming not only more visible, but visible actually doing something beyond heavily scripted photo ops, I have my doubts he can be re-elected. In fact, the president has so disappointed me already, that I won't be voting for him next election. It's unlikely I'll vote Republican either, so it appears I simply won't be taking part in the process.

Also, the link to the Biden soaker party is an absolutely fabulous blog! It's all about..

..well, head on over there and see.

Outflanked again?

In researching the impending visit with Margaret Thatcher that Sarah Palin is contemplating, I stumbled across a curiosity. First, concerning the trip, there is wide speculation as to why Palin would undertake such an adventure much of it catty. In particular, the UK's London Daily Mail wastes little ink on actual details of the impending visit but manages to get a couple of 'graphs in about Palins supposedly amplified Bazooms:

Mrs Palin seems to have ditched the staid and formal ‘hockey mom’ image she appeared to favour during her campaign with Republican hopeful John McCain.

Earlier this month she was spotted looking relaxed and in high spirits at the races in New York, with her hair down and wearing a baseball cap, trendy sunglasses, a flimsy T-shirt and jeans.

And there was speculation last week she may have had breast enlargement surgery after she appeared in public wearing a tight-fitting white blouse which showed off her figure.

However, who really gives a flying crap why Sarah is heading over to meet with Thatcher? What I mean is that it may be a move to bolster her already-substantial conservative credentials or it may be an homage -- an expression of affection to one of the two great pillars of conservative politics in the last 30 years -- and a pilgrimage to express her genuine affection towards Lady Thatcher in the twilight of her life.

Whatever the reason, it is a brilliant political move with her usual brilliant timing and economy of effort. The Gulf oil spill is in its 55th day (and counting) and all The Pantload has managed to do is bag on BP, dispatch lawyers to the Gulf to build a case against BP, and warn BP against lawyering up.

His keening, whining "it's not my fault" mantra has even incensed the Lord Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to the point where he has told Obama to back off:

Mayor Boris Johnson demanded an end to “anti-British rhetoric, buck-passing and name-calling” after days of scathing criticism directed at BP by the President and other US politicians.

Similar ire has been aroused in other prominent UK luminaries:

Former Conservative Party chairman Lord Tebbit branded Mr Obama's conduct 'despicable'. And with the dispute threatening to escalate into a diplomatic row, Mr Johnson also appeared to suggest that David Cameron should step in to defend BP.

So, not only is Palin visiting one of her supposed heroes, she is also making herself available to mend fences and pour oil onto troubled waters if you will excuse a sadly appropriate metahpor.

Like the jabs she -- almost literally -- phones in from her Facebook page, this is yet another brickbat subtly showing all but the most ardent posterior-osculating supporter of this unaccomplished dimwit what feet of clay he has.

I would not have believed that Palin was this adroit had I not read her book. It is recommended that you do the same. Her path to the Governorship -- indeed to her current prominence -- is strewn with the bleaching bones of rivals who mis-underestimated her.

Read it for yourself and see. She has out-foxed, outmaneuvered, and out-flanked many a complacent politician who she now looks at in her rear-view as she whizzes by.

Before I leave off, though, there is one delicious irony in Lord Mayor Boris Johnson's recent cry of anguish. It seems that a scant two years ago, this clown was gushing all over The Lightbringer and "endorsing" him for Prez:

There are all sorts of reasons for hoping that Barack Hussein Obama will be the next president of the United States. He seems highly intelligent. He has an air of courtesy and sincerity. Unlike the current occupant of the White House, he has no difficulty in orally extemporising a series of grammatical English sentences, each containing a main verb.

Unlike his opponent, he visibly incarnates change and hope, at a time when America desperately needs both.

..so Boris -- like Sir Paul "I am a Pantload Too" McCartney -- saw fit to decry the supposed illiterate former White House resident while he sang the praises of the current occupant.

How's that incarnation of change and hope working out for ya', Boris, babes?

Improvise, Apapt, overcome..

What our guys do when they run out of ammo?

Question of the Day from HillBuzz..

The good folks at HillBuzz -- our friends on the Democrat side and wonderful allies in the ongoing fight -- have come up with the following question of the day:

QUESTION: What does it mean that Saudi Arabia is publicly giving Israel permission to fly through its airspace to bomb Iran?

My answer is simple: if I were Aqua-Velva-Jhad, I would be soiling my underpants at this time.

Cemetery Watch

(This is from my good friend, SAC brother warrior, the former B-36 RDO, and fellow USAF Auxiliary member, Major  Joe Di Mento. Here are the thoughts of a Cemetery Watch volunteer, a retired, wounded U. S. Marine.)

I just wanted to get the day over with and go down to Smokey's. Sneaking a look at my watch, I saw the time, 1655. Five minutes to go before the cemetery gates are closed for the day. Full dress was hot in the August sun. Oklahoma Summer time was as bad as ever -- the heat and humidity at the same level -- both too high.

I saw the car pull into the drive, a '69 or '70 model Cadillac Deville, looked factory-new. It pulled into the parking lot at a snail's pace. An old woman got out so slowly I thought she was paralyzed; she had a cane and a sheaf of flowers--about four or five bunches as best I could tell.

I couldn't help myself. The thought came unwanted, and left a slightly bitter taste: 'She's going to spend an hour, and for this old soldier, my hip hurts like hell and I'm ready to get out of here right now!' But for this day, my duty was to assist anyone coming in.

Kevin would lock the 'In' gate and if I could hurry the old biddy along, we might make it to Smokey's in time.

I broke post attention. My hip made gritty noises when I took the first step and the pain went up a notch. I must have made a real military sight: middle-aged man with a small pot gut and half a limp, in marine full-dress uniform, which had lost its razor crease about thirty minutes after I began the watch at the cemetery.

I stopped in front of her, halfway up the walk. She looked up at me with an old woman's squint.

'Ma'am, may I assist you in any way?'

She took long enough to answer.

'Yes, son. Can you carry these flowers? I seem to be moving a tad slow these days.'

'My pleasure, ma'am.' Well, it wasn't too much of a lie.

She looked again. 'Marine, where were you stationed?'

'Vietnam, ma'am.. Ground-pounder. '69 to '71.'

She looked at me closer. 'Wounded in action, I see. Well done, Marine. I'll be as quick as I can.'

I lied a little bigger: 'No hurry, ma'am.'

She smiled and winked at me. 'Son, I'm 85-years-old and I can tell a lie from a long way off.. Let's get this done. Might be the last time I can do this. My name's Joanne Wieserman, and I've a few Marines I'd like to see one more time.'

'Yes, ma 'am. At your service.'

She headed for the World War I section, stopping at a stone. She picked one of the flowers out of my arm and laid it on top of the stone. She murmured something I couldn't quite make out.. The name on the marble was Donald S. Davidson, USMC: France 1918.

She turned away and made a straight line for the World War II section, stopping at one stone. I saw a tear slowly tracking its way down her cheek. She put a bunch on a stone; the name was Stephen X.Davidson, USMC, 1943.

She went up the row a ways and laid another bunch on a stone, Stanley J. Wieserman, USMC, 1944.

She paused for a second. 'Two more, son, and we'll be done'

I almost didn't say anything, but, 'Yes, ma'am. Take your time.'

She looked confused.. 'Where's the Vietnam section, son? I seem to have lost my way.'

I pointed with my chin. 'That way, ma'am.'

'Oh!', she chuckled quietly. 'Son, me and old age ain't too friendly.'

She headed down the walk I'd pointed at. She stopped at a couple of stones before she found the ones she wanted. She placed a bunch on Larry Wieserman, USMC, 1968, and the last on Darrel Wieserman, USMC, 1970. She stood there and murmured a few words I still couldn't make out.

'OK, son, I'm finished. Get me back to my car and you can go home.'

Yes, ma'am. If I may ask, were those your kinfolk?'

She paused. 'Yes, Donald Davidson was my father, Stephen was my uncle, Stanley was my husband, Larry and Darrel were our sons. All killed in action, all Marines.'

She stopped. Whether she had finished, or couldn't finish, I don't know. She made her way to her car, slowly and painfully.

I waited for a polite distance to come between us and then double-timed it over to Kevin, waiting by the car.

Get to the 'Out' gate quick.. I have something I've got to do.'

Kevin started to say something, but saw the look I gave him. He broke the rules to get us there down the service road. We beat her. She hadn't made it around the rotunda yet.

'Kevin, stand at attention next to the gatepost. Follow my lead.' I humped it across the drive to the other post.

When the Cadillac came puttering around from the hedges and began the short straight traverse to the gate, I called in my best gunny's voice: 'TehenHut! Present Haaaarms!'

I have to hand it to Kevin; he never blinked an eye -- full dress attention and a salute that would make his DI proud.

She drove through that gate with two old worn-out soldiers giving her a send-off she deserved, for service rendered to her country, and for knowing duty, honor and sacrifice.

I am not sure, but I think I saw a salute returned from that Cadillac.

Instead of 'The End,' just think of 'Taps.'

New viddy venue in town, podnuh..

As noted below, eyeblast stepped up and re-hosted the "We Con the world" satire. Seems like they might be viable competition to You Tube in this arena and one should make it a point to check them out.

Here is a slice of the Hannity show where Carly Fiorina apologizes to Sean about the open mic remarks she made regarding Meg Whitman appearing on his show immediately after her primary victory. Personally, I do not believe an apology is necessary because it seemed like Carly's remarks were in respect to the electorate Whitman would have to face versus Jerry, "My hair was so yesterday" Brown.I mean, she had already won over the majority of the conservative vote in California; now she needs the moderate and independent (and Democrat) vote to beat Brown.

But Carly makes a clean breast of it (presumably without implants, Reuters and Newsweek) and does really well. Forget the "clean breast" remarks; Carly is a cancer survivor and I let my lips flap. Hope she doesn't come down here and kick my ass.

I favored DeVore but I am growing more and more to like her. As I have said in earlier posts, I will be working for her campaign as as my pathetic effort to see that the revolution that is supposed to sweep this country in November comes to fruition.

I am starting to like her a whole lot.



Besides, she's got a good head on her shoulders and -- as a cancer survivor -- looks far better than "Box-a-Rocks" Boxer ever looked.

"On February 20, 2009 Fiorina was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent surgery at Stanford Hospital on March 2, 2009 followed by chemotherapy, which caused her to lose her hair, and radiation therapy. She has been given 'an excellent prognosis for a full recovery.' Upon announcing her campaign for the U.S. Senate seat held by Barbara Boxer, Fiorina stated 'I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn't that scary anymore.'"

GRATUITOUS PARTING COMMENT: By the way, and for the record, I hate it when you snipe these videos from places like CNN, etc. and they come bundled with those odious spots on the front end. I know, I know, it's part of capitalism and I do not blame them for it. But it was like they used to do on the old video tapes (Disney was the worst culprit) and now DVDs you rent. At least with the old VHS tapes, you could fast forward past the commercials and the previews to the main feature.

You Tube Wimps Out

Seems that the copyright people (and other sinister forces) have gotten to You Tube and forced it to pull the "We Con the World" parody put up a couple of weeks ago. Hot Air! dug up another venue for it and I wanted to offer it here as well.

This little ditty goes out with a dedication to the now-departed cynical, garrulous old crone, Helen Thomas who, as we speak, is heating up a can of Scotch Broth on a gas ring in her freezing garret over a fabric shop in a down market section of D.C.

Don't choke on that barley, Helen, you sodden festering piece of excrement.

Why? Because I am in a really pissy mood, that's why!

From a comment over on Hot Air! that sums up how I feel about the P.O.S. pretender president we have:

Pathetic, just pathetic. This man is a non-stop embarrassment to us all. He’s run the gamut from looking the other way, to “taking charge,” to blaming others, to blaming others for blaming others to now curling up in the fetal position and declaring complete impotence. Hail the chief, indeed.

MJBrutus on June 11, 2010 at 6:17 PM

..hail to the chief, my ass!

SPECIAL PISSED-OFF MOOD UPDATE: This one is for Colleen -- and Irish lady who stopped by and excoriated me for the hate that I exhibit because I don't check out anything on snopes.com (no, a**hole, I am not going to link it! Get your fat fingers engaged and Google it yourself, you sack of crap Obamanoid!)

Here's one of those pictures I plan to run from time to time to work up my fellow proles. It pretty well sums up what a sh*t-sucking a**hole we have for a leader:

Jee-zus! Am I getting close to understanding what Bush Derangement Syndrome was all about. Anyway, there's a good site -- called Michelle Obama's Mirror -- and it's a good place to vent one's catty instincts and resentment towards this soiled butt wipe.

DISCLAIMER: Cheap liquor, a bad day at work, and coming home to the fact that this guy is still president. Anyone got a good countdown timer gadget out there?

Well, it's the same but different..

..sorta.

Of course they studiously omit any reference to a higher power/outside influence restricting them from using some measures or otherwise tying their hands behind their back. No, I don't think Kevin Kostner is that omniscient. I was more thinking of the Federal Government led by -- ahem -- you know who:

Well, he's not exactly kicking ass here, but he sure is making use of it. Hey, Barry, don't be shy. Come out and say hello to the folks.
