Super Bowl ExELEyeEyeEye

January 30, 2009

(That’s ‘43′ for you Rome-a-phobes.)
SO- The Pittsburgh Steelers v the Arizona Cardinals.
I want the Cardinals to win. They won’t. Not for lack of trying, but because the Steelers are just  ’too much team’. The blitzing by Steeler linebackers and safetys will be ferocious. Kurt Warner, you should wear an extra chinstrap and all the pads you [...]

President Wants Filibuster-proof Rubber Stamp Senate

January 30, 2009

So it looks like the rookie President is going for 60 in the Senate. There are rumblings that he may nominate Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire to be Commerce Secretary. Obama’s original nominee, New Mexico governor and Democrat Bill Richardson, had to withdraw his name when it turned out he might be a [...]

Action Figures!

January 29, 2009

Bobblehead Obama. Man- he’s got a big head! So does the doll.

This is ‘random japanese obama action figure’. Ready to shoot and slice his way to hope and change.
This one’s kinda goofy looking, but they got the ears right. Notice the left index finger is frozen in “I’m #1″ mode. It might not be apparent [...]

It’s Good To Be King

January 29, 2009

Michelle Malkin says the new president is livin’ pretty high on the hog:
…the White House apparently decided to throw itself a swank cocktail party. According to ABC’s Jake Tapper, the menu included alcoholic beverages (vodka martinis are an Obama favorite, reportedly) and wagyu steak.
Yeah, “wagyu steak.” $100 per serving delicacy. I had to look it [...]

President To Pen Love Letter to Iran

January 29, 2009

It seems that since Election Night the obamapeople have been drafting and re-drafting a letter to Iran that will be “… addressed to the Iranian people and sent directly to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or released as an open letter.“
I guess this is the opening of the ‘dialogue’ that Obama hinted at [...]

Do as he says, not as he does

Ace of Spades has a great example of Obama double-talk.

Obama Thinks ‘Listening’ Will Succeed

January 29, 2009

The new President has sent former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell to the Middle East. I guess this is a continuation of ‘the peace process, which since 1947 has yielded very little peace.
Obama To Muslim World: ‘Let’s Listen,’ Stop ‘Dictating’ In Middle East
The U.S. message shifts from “You are either with us or against us” [...]

Obama to DC residents: ‘What a bunch of babies’

January 29, 2009

No, he didn’t say that- not in so many words, of course. Obama did tease the local population for what he thought was over-reaction to recent inclement weather:
“When it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don’t seem to be able to handle things,” a joking Obama told reporters Wednesday morning.
“My children’s school was canceled [...]

Obama Hosts Booze n’ Schmooze

January 29, 2009

So after the stimulus bill passed the House without a single Republican vote, Obama invited Congressional bigwigs up to the White House for drinks:
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama was welcoming House and Senate leaders from both parties to the White House for drinks Wednesday night as he continues to lobby lawmakers to pass his economic [...]
