Barack Obama bowling lane help bowling scores

To see Barack Obama bowling and only score a 37 (a perfect bowling score is 300), it makes you wonder how his big mouth is helping bowlers at Bowl-O-Bama in Clearwater, Florida score perfect 300 bowling scores. Since opening in November 2010, 963 patrons have bowled a perfect game, including strikes in the warm-up frames. [...]

Balanced Budget Amendment

Interesting Balance Budget Amendment RSS article forwarded today C: Thoughts on the balanced budget amendment push? I’m personally against it at a visceral level, and with some thought as well. I think it is largely a push for political cover to allow elected officials to save some face when they have to make hard choices [...]

Unemployment rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics seems bogus to me

In an e-mail I received from my friend M, he discusses why he feels the unemployment rate from the BLS is not very accurate. M: BLS Unemployment Rate = ‘blah blah blah’ Because they don’t tell the whole story. When we’re told the unemployment rate drops a tenth of a point or whatever they’re saying [...]

Arizona Governor Brewer to President Obama “Do your job”

Watching this is just like watching a successful Thanksgiving Day game against the boys in burnt orange. I don’t care if you call it political posturing or not. It’s dead-on accurate. Earlier this month, Governor Jan Brewer sat in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama to discuss the critical issue of border security. The [...]

Obama Administration is making sure illegal immigrants are paid enough and not securing the US Border

What if I told you that the US Government has set up a hotline so that illegals can call in to get assistance in representation in cases where they don’t think they’re being paid a fair wage? Oh, no – you’re crazy. Our government wouldn’t think of overtly acting as an agent of illegals! Of [...]

Would the Death Star use Green Energy?

If you had $15.6 septillion and 94 cents in your account, would you save the world from the economic crisis or build a Death Star, destroy the world, and move on to invade the galaxy? And if the construction firm set up shop in Connecticut, Chris Dodd could probably have gotten the funds appropriated! Yes, [...]

Zucker brothers “Airplane!” :plagiarism or genius?

If you’re like me, you recognize 1980′s “Airplane!” as a stroke of absolute comedic genius courtesy of the Zucker brothers. Without the endless parade of groanworthy one-liners and sight gags, we wouldn’t have other gems like its 1982 sequel (“Airplane II: The Sequel”), “Top Secret!”, the “Hot Shots” series, or The “Naked Gun” series. I [...]

Berwick: “Heck yeah, there will be rationing!”

He answered: “We can make a sensible social decision and say, ‘Well, at this point, to have access to a particular additional benefit [new drug or medical intervention] is so expensive that our taxpayers have better use for those funds.’ We make those decisions all the time. The decision is not whether or not we [...]

President Pantywaist

But I have a question – is calling Obama a “surrender MONKEY” considered a racial epithet? http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/gerald_warner/blog/2009/04/10/barack_obama_president_pantywaist__new_surrender_monkey_on_the_block It sure was 2 months ago. Just ask Al Sharpton… http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/18/al-sharpton-monkey-cartoon-obama/ Still, it’s good reading (especially considering it’s from a vinegary old Brit.) It confirms my suspicion that the only thing the world hates more than a strong, sometimes [...]

Barack Obama’s Teleprompter’s Blog

Much has been made as of late by the right on the fact that Obama seems to have his teleprompter in tow no matter where he goes. Pundits point out that the normally-silky-smooth rhetoric and delivery for which (apparently) Obama won the presidency devolves into a halting, stuttering mish-mash of disjointed phrases and incomplete thoughts [...]
