The Inevitable Consequences

Well, in the last 30 minutes, the IRS has garnished my wages, HUD has foreclosed my home, TSA has put me on the no-fly list, the Social Security Administration has taken away my birthday, the CDC has quarantined me, and the US Marshall Service has served me with papers.

I take everything back!

The Verdict

Let me put this to you indelibly, indefatigably, inarguably, and emphatically:

Historians will classify US Presidents into four descending levels:
Great, OK, Terrible... and Barack Hussein Obama.


Never in so short a time has an administration established itself as so incompetent, arrogant, and opaque, or piled up such a record of tragic cabinet-level appointees, or placed so many Americans at financial or geopolitical peril.

Some jest that they already miss 'W'... I'd say bring back Tricky Dick. Or Harding.

If you voted for him, you owe 300+ million Americans -- including yourself -- an apology. That is, unless you are one of the fortunate few who run Wall Street institutions, bailed-out failed companies, or other corrupt institutions. If not, what were you thinking?

Sent to US Senators Evan Bayh (D-IN) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) Today

This weekend will likely mark the most critical decision made in America since 1941.

So-called healthcare reform; selling 300 million Americans and 10 future generations down the river to supposedly help 10 or 20 million – no one knows – or fix a system that needs a few obvious fixes, not complete destruction. TARP, cap and trade, AIG, Anita Dunn, Van Jones, ACORN, SEIU, porkulus, Afghanistandstill… where does it end?

At this rate, will there still even be an America 100 years from now?

More to the point, will you be counted among the 100 US Senators who destroyed it, or the 100 who saved it?

Bring back the Assault Weapons Ban... and Slavery?

Reinstitute the assault weapons ban!

Yes, and while we're at it, let's reinstitute involuntarily servitude, and abolish women's suffrage. Why stop there? Let's eliminate safeguards against self-incrimination. And quartering of soldiers. I've got a spare bedroom.

Why is it that if someone seriously advocated any of that they'd be fired or institutionalized or sued or worse, but when they advocate abolition of a right guaranteed -- not granted -- to me by the Bill of Rights, there's no such outrage?

What a country!

And while we're on the subject, since AR15s weren't around ("envisioned") when the Constitution was ratified, then I suppose neither Mormons nor Reform Jews enjoy freedom of worship, right?

Please don't get me started :)

Contrast: FDR, BHO

FDR's cabinet became known as the Brain Trust.

Obama hasn't appointed anyone we can trust.

It's Not Easy Being #1

The Baseball Writers Association of America announced Friday that White Sox relief pitcher Barry Obama will receive the Cy Young Award for the American League for 2009. The prestigious award goes to the southpaw after his "brilliant performance" in the opening game of the 2009 season.

A spokesperson for the association said that their only regret is that they don't award a peace prize as well, or he'd be "a shoe-in."

The American Restaurant Association, however, is considering awarding its 2009 Iron Chef Award to the Chicago native for his remarkable technique of raising the temperature of tap water to the point where steam is visible, a technique Mr. Obama humbly refers to as "boiling water."

Yo. Fair is Fair.

Entertainer Kanye West stormed the proceedings of the Norwegian Nobel Institute Friday evening in protest of US President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.

“Yo, Barack, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but BeyoncĂ© has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” shouted Mr. West.

A spokesperson for the nominating committee had no further comment.
