Quick Hits

I go one day without posting, and then there are 80 billion stories that need my attention. Here we go:

They say these teachers are doing nothing, but that doesn't give you enough information. Many teachers sit in front of the class doing nothing. These people are on paid vacations.

If someone threatens to wipe you off the map, you'd talk about it, right? Well, either you'd be wrong, or I'm not listening to the right people.

Obama finally condemned Iran this weekend for slaughtering protesters (be sure to read the info before the video). It took a few more days for him to decide to disinvite them from the 4th of July barbecue at the White House. Neither of these actions should be construed as evidence he's finally grown a spine.

Transformers 2 premiered last night to the chagrin of liberals. It may take a swipe at Obama. And it's supposedly racist. Look, anybody who's observed 14-25 year old white males in the last few years can tell you that seeing guys speak in ebonics and having gold teeth can mean you're in the 'hood, or it can mean you're at an all-white high school.

Obama's Health Care informercial airs tonight. The timing's good, because improved healthcare will come in handy when North Korea nukes us. And Iran's clearly not worth our attention. But I've enjoyed this quote from the Bamster regarding healthcare:

"If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality health care; if they tell us that they're offering a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can't run anything, suddenly is going to drive them out of business? That's not logical.” (story here)

Like logic's really your strong point. But you're right, I can't possibly imagine how government will run private insurers out of business.

Wednesday's big news is that they found out where Mark Sanford's been: Argentina. Apparently, he has a little filly down there. There's nothing like a Republican pulling a John Edwards (or Bill Clinton or ...) to shift the focus away from Obama, who's really been wilting under the spotlight. The liberals would be thanking God if they went for that sort of thing. Thanks, Mark.

Of course, one benefit of the Sanford saga was that I got a chuckle out of this.

And finally, I'm afraid that all the other big news of the past two days are taking too much attention away from this. I'm not sure what's been going on in my home state lately, but I blame the heat. And Brad Henry.

I think my biggest problem with this story is that they say she was flashing her headlights, and they caught her in a car with her blouse open. Which set of headlights are we talking about here? Another funny thing that resulted from this story is that when I posted it on Twitter, a friend remarked that they got really scared when they saw her picture. Like a chick putting out for potato chips is going to be hot. I'm sure that was edited out of Pretty Woman.

Lays should use that in a marketing campaign. "So good you'll whore yourself out for them!"

The Great Appeaser

I was gone for the weekend and wasn't anywhere near a computer while gone. Apparently, I missed quite a bit of $#*%.

It's almost not worth playing the,"If Bush had done that," game with the left because that's who they are and that's what they do: they can't exist without double standards. But if Bush had taken a presidential motorcade to get ice cream with his girls while Iran was erupting and young girls were being shot in the streets, lefties would have raised unholy hell.

But remember, kids, we don't want to impose our ideals on any country. Especially not when a country has so many of its citizens crying out for freedom and democracy. Not when that country poses a grave threat to the security of its neighbors and the security of our own country, and seeing a change in regimes could only be beneficial to the ideas of security and peace. No, no, no, you can't impose your ideals on them, especially not when the matter at hand is whether to get sprinkles or hot fudge on your dessert.

If I ever have to listen to someone spout off about W. and "The Pet Goat" after this, they're going to be eating their soup through a straw.

Also, our wise, benevolent Supreme Leader apparently also addressed fathers this weekend on the kinds of fathers they should be. Pretty smug advice coming from someone who views children as choices or "mistakes". I thought this was a good response to Barry's heartfelt admonishment.

So in our honor of our all-knowing, all-feeling Ruler, I came up with this little ditty. All due apologies to the Platters and the real version of this tune, which is one of the all-time greats.


Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Making sure I say the right things
Carefully chosen words
Apologies will be heard
Til my praises are all that they sing

Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Making sure not to upset the cart
Won’t take a stand against Iran
I’ve made waffling into an art

Too real are my delusions of self grandeur
Too real that I want to be crowned king of the world

Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Looking at others with my nose in the air
I’ll do what I can to offend allies
And with enemies I’ll kiss their derriere
Making sure America’s fair

Too real are my delusions of self grandeur
Too real that I want to be crowned king of the world

Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Looking at others with my nose in the air
I’ll do what I can to offend allies
And with enemies I’ll kiss their derriere
Making sure America’s fair

Let me get this straight...

So it's a grand idea for Iran to run with nuclear energy, but we shouldn't even consider it? And the Chinese can produce Hummers and everything's hunky dory, but we can't do it because we'll destroy the environment?

Maybe this clown does have a superior intellect, because I sure can't fathom his logic.
