Must Be Happy-Hour at the Capitol

I have no idea what is going on here and probably don't really want to know. As long as they are consenting adults and don't frighten the horses I will tolerate most any kind of arrangement you can think of. I wonder who has the better plastic surgeon?

Brilliant bumper-sticker from Dennis Miller. Herman Cain v. You Know Who. Wow.

Government Gone Wild

This Seems Reasonable to Me

"Mr. Obama, return to your 2007 borders. It would be the best political decision you have ever made, and you would unite the entire democratic adult world in support of your action."

TSA is part of ObamaCare II

A little humor while being sexually assaulted by strangers, the whole embarrassing thing being watched by the world.

Political Guru Peggy Noonan Says:

The President needs a Special Assistant for Reality.

Sounds a little cryptic, doesn't it? Well, check out Saturday's Wall Street Journal for her short essay/instruction for the president and his non-real bubble assistants. Ms Noonan pretends to overhear a conversation between President Obama and the Special Assistant for Reality (SAR) regarding the TSA and its pathetic attempts to steal the show, i.e. over-acting in the theater of the absurd that anti-terrorism has become, without showing that its earlier entries produced anything useful. Evidence-based. Right!

In general, the President comes off as a combination of the smartest man in America and King Solomon, except that he has trouble getting out of the bubble of Washington and the Presidency itself. Even if he goes to Indiana, he takes the bubble along with him.

The dialogue is funny at times, but then only a humorous essay will escape the sharp editorial scissor of the Bubble-Wizard. It becomes even more ironic when Ms Noonan fails to recognize that her SAR talks and reasons like folks on Fox News. Or maybe she does this on purpose, but why she thinks this sort of person would be listened to by the President or his assistants is not clear. "Hey, it's a difficult if not impossible job so one has to take shortcuts in order to have time for basketball workouts. Right? OK then, Fox News is out, not to be looked at or listened to by anyone in my Administration." Now you know.

A word from the ruling class to us underlings

Peggy Noonan, former speech writer for Ronald Reagan, as she ages, seems to be getting shriller and getting on with her rant in a hurry. In a recent Op-Ed article in the Wall Street Journal, having to do with the recent mid-term election, and possibly a mea culpa for past sins, she tells us that those running for high office in the USA should have the following qualifications:

"Here is an old tradition badly in need of return: You have to earn your way into politics. You should go have a life, build a string of accomplishments, then enter public service. And you need actual talent: You have to be able to bring people in and along. You can't just bully them, you can't just assert and taunt, you have to be able to persuade."

This bit of brilliance comes a little late. Where was Ms Noonan two years ago when we collectively decided that a couple years as a "community organizer" and running a couple of good political campaigns were enough qualifications to be President of all of us. Actually, Ms Noonan, our pundit-in-chief of the ruling class, was doing her usual thing in this article which was to roast Sarah Palin for having the effrontery of being selected to be John McCain's running mate in 2008, thus pointing out to the whole world the absence of qualifications at the top of the Democratic ticket, not just at the VP level.

My guess is that Ms Noonan feels the need to be fair and balanced in her articles, so that in order for her to say this about Obama after his post mid-term election speech—

"Actually I thought the worst thing you can say about a president: He won't even make a good former president."

—she has to misunderstand something that Governor Palin said about Ronald Reagan and call her a nincompoop, no doubt an affectionate term in the vocabulary of the ruling class.

We Hardly Knew Ye Keith O

Did you name yourself as the Worst Possible Person In The World this Week? Say it isn't so Keith O. Is this a prime example of the Peter Principle at work? Mr O seemed to be very good at his sports desk but has he now reached his level of incompetence?

They say he shouldn't have made a political contribution to some of his leftist guests but hasn't he made an in-kind contribution to the political opponents of George W Bush and John McCain and Sarah Palin and other conservatives each time he comes on the air for the past couple of years?

From our friends at Wikipedia (they seem fairly reliable if they are not talking about global warming, or is it climate change, or maybe climate disruption—it is hard to keep up sometimes):

Keith Theodore Olbermann (pronounced /ˈoʊlbərmən/; born January 27, 1959) is an American news anchor,sportscaster, writer, and political commentator.^[2] He hosts Countdown with Keith Olbermann, an hour-long nightly commentary program on MSNBC.

Olbermann spent the first twenty years of his career in sports journalism. He was a sports correspondent for CNN and for local TV and radio stations in the 1980s, winning the Best Sportscaster award from the California Associated Press three times. He later co-hosted ESPN's SportsCenter from 1992 to 1997. After leaving ESPN amid controversy, Olbermann became a sports anchor and producer for Fox Sports Net from 1998 to 2001, during which time he hosted Fox's studio coverage of baseball.

After leaving Fox, Olbermann re-joined MSNBC after a hiatus, hosting Countdown with Keith Olbermann in 2003. Olbermann has established a niche in cable news commentary, gaining note for his pointed criticism of major politicians and public figures, directed particularly at the political right.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8]} He has feuded with rival commentator Bill O'Reilly^[9][10] and strongly criticized the George W. Bush administration and John McCain'sunsuccessful 2008 Presidential candidacy.^[11] Although many have described Olbermann as a liberal,^{[12][13][14][15]} he has said on at least one occasion "I'm not a liberal; I'm an American."^[16]

Suspension

On October 28, 2010, days before the 2010 U.S. elections, Olbermann donated $2,400 each to three Democratic candidates for Congress: Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway, and Arizona Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.^[65] In response, on November 5, MSNBC President Phil Griffin suspended him indefinitely without pay for violating a network policy regarding political contributions which required prior approval from management.^[66]

Obama on View

Can anyone say with a reasonable degree of certainty what was the purpose of President Obama's appearance this morning on The View. That was certainly a waste of time for his viewers and probably for himself. Or was this a recently discovered tape left over from his campaign for president in 2008. But he himself pointed out that his hair was grayer so it appears to be a recent show.

I had thought that his body language or his smile when he talked about jobs created or saved in the past usually signaled that he was being ironic on the saved part, but now I am convinced that he believes fervently his own B.S. Maybe he just owed a favor to Barbara Walters that she decided to call in. I had thought that presidents eventually reached a point where they could say no to even their most avid supporters. Maybe he did say no to Ms Behar.
