While the drooling media types who can't stop the tingling in their legs were ' awed ' by the quickness of his reflexes (as was POTUS himself) when he swatted that fly, it gave me the creeps.  Nothing before has so graphically demonstrated BO's detached arrogance and narcissism.  Watch the clip and decide for yourself. 

I just saw a commercial, a straight-out commercial, for FINRA .  Slick, obviously expensive, in terms both of production and air-time. WTF are they doing spending my money on commercials?  Are we really at the point where government agencies can lobby us in this way, with our own effin' money? Where is FINRA's IG, for cryin' out loud? EDIT:  DOH!  How dumb am I?  Pretty dumb.  FINRA's private (sort of).  NEVERMIND. But wait - they are advertising...

All I can say is he came up with this in a wet dream.

I laughed my ass off at this juicy little attempt by MSNBC to be 'fair & balanced.' This woman actually came at this from the perspective that Palin has a problem with Letterman , and she wanted to know why.  From a guy, no less, who had interviewed Palin. Was this lady an extra in Clueless?  Is that the resume jewel that the talent-spotters at MSNBC picked up on?  I thought about posting this in the humor section, then decided it was more sad than funny. If you ha...

Lead story on HuffPo today.  BIG BOLD RED CAPS - they're shocked, I tell you, shocked. Apparently, someone was taking notes when Robert Reich said stimulus money shouldn't go to help southern white construction workers.

BO, circa February 2009: "You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer's dime."

The article speaks, eloquently, for itself. Enjoy.

Saw this little clip again recently for some reason & noticed something I'd not picked up on before.  It's the famous Henrietta Hughes plea to Obama for help during the campaign.  You'll recognize it. But pay attention when BO walks over to Hughes to give her a hug at about 40 seconds into the clip & watch the lady to the left of BO as the crowd stands up to applaud. Nauseating, actually.  I'm afraid there are far too many whose judgment is clouded by such infatuatio...

Steyn's take at the time appears to have been spot on.

You may recall the flap just last month when Napolitano said this: "In my speech, although I did not use the word “terrorism,” I referred to “man-caused” disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur." Well.  The same does not appear to apply when discussing our own citizens.  This, from the just-released memo from DHS to police ...

Because we just had to know, I guess.  Or maybe it was a matter of national security. Can't get to the info on who/what funded this, yet, but if it wasn't the Feds you could knock me over with a feather.

Speaks for itself.

First, Obama. Now THIS . And THE TOPPER .

With the confusion virus, that is. In discussing the Gates Foundation's operations, there was this little jewel: Pablo Eisenberg of Georgetown University's Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership said the foundation has a moral obligation to share its decision-making process more broadly as it distributes what is partly taxpayer dollars they saved on taxes by giving the money away. Technically, it's Pablo Eisenberg who is infected, but the WSJ let this go unchallenged: that mo...

And our local rag/fishwrap gives it the Page A1 above-the-fold lead headline - damn near 'Dewey Defeats Truman'.  They don't even bother to disguise the game plan - the webpage name reads '...health- rollout ...'.  So we can look forward to more sales snow jobs to come.  Can't wait.
