Sorry about the Vacation!

Back to blogging as usual. :)

Better than Geithner

Great explanation of a complicated process. This is transparency and translation that allows the common person to understand the most complex forces that make our government churn.

h/t JTH.

Swine Flu

This is some scary stuff. Don't worry vegans, you are safe. Teehee.

Hope and Change!

Clearly ready to take on the unknown...

Or is he?

Having campaign supporters lob you softball after softball is a mark of a true president. Something about Hope and Change being preached during the campaign makes you wonder if the spark is still there. If Barack Obama is not even willing to take random questions, what makes him ready to even take on angry dissent in other countries from political leaders?

Seriously...?

I couldn't believe this. I remembered the whole taxing health insurance thing that Obama pounded McCain on. Obama struck fear into many employers and self-insured people. Fear mongering 101, here is the lesson. Although I am too lazy to find the actual Obama campaign video, I did find this instead.



Okay. Well that is all good and such. Make an attack on something that is untrue.

Here comes this bit of news. There are other sites to look at but this one is gold.
Obama taxing health insurance might be an option!

What the hell? This is how you win an election apparently.

Seperate but Equal Treatment in the Media? Obama, Windows, Bushes, and Birds!!

Even though the title has racial implications, this has NOTHING to do with race. It has A LOT to do with political parties though. This just goes to show that there is plenty of Grade A hypocrisy to go around. Do you remember how often cable news networks, faux cable news networks, and YouTube videos were out for Bush's great door flub? A LOT. Why can't the media just take a small jab at Obama for running into a window? I give the White House attendants a lot of credit for having squeaky clean windows to make even the best birds stand up and clap for Barack's masterful window face plant.

Tolerance, Liberals, and Iran

This is Social Tolerance???

I have a few liberal friends say that we should not engage Iran in any aggressive talks or actions. The reason they point to the most: they are as tolerant, if not more, than any American. Really? I have not been to Iran, and I am pretty sure none of my liberal friends. I just wonder why they claim that these people are just as tolerant and have freedoms just as we Americans do.

This is just another reoccuring theme of Iranian men showing how tolerant they really are. My liberal friends couldn't defend this story as well as other stories similar to the disrespect towards women.

The Villages Commercial Casting Video!!!

If this is really Joe Biden, then HA! Good stuff Joe. :)

The Green Movement Finally Has Me Sold

NO WAY!!! FIVE MORE MONTHS?!?!

Bullet pointed comments are going to be fun times.
-What about the average Chinese person? They pollute a metric ass ton. Survey says?
-WHAT THE HELL??? It is not 5 months. It is 4.8 months. That means I am losing 6 days on the average 30 day month. Talk about being shortchanged!!! Misleading title!
-On average, particulate matter levels fell from 21 micrograms per cubic meter of air to 14 micrograms per cubic meter in the cities studied. At the same time, Americans lived an average 2.72 years longer. WINS.
-They attributed the increase to falling mortality rates for nine of the 15 leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, accidents and diabetes. LOSES. I was just told earlier on in the article that clean ass air will make me live a little bit longer. To be quite frank, I never heard of clean ass air (CAA for those Rachel Ray fans) helping prevent any of those. LIES :(

Symbolism Taken To The Extreme...

Remember when Bush had the $44 million inauguration in 2005? Lefties were furious, and Bush Derangement Syndrome was spreading like a wild fire. Obama's PARTAY will reportedly cost $145 million. That is one expensive party.

Now this...

Too much symbolism

It seems that everything Barack does is a scripted PR dream. When is this guy going to do something that is just spur of the moment? It is beginning to dawn on me that his transition team is more about the celebrity rather than the office. It also makes me feel that his team is afraid of him to make spur of the moment decisions. But after that slight derail, I think President Obama should just be himself and not try to out-do or one-up past presidents.
