Todays poll: O more hated than Bush

Obama, the most popular President in history, is more hated than President Bush when he left office. Does that still make Obama popular?

Golly. I just don't know how these approval polls work. I'm just a private sector idiot.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).

When Bush left office, he had a 43% disapproval rating. Obama's numbers must be Bush's fault.

Mao for your Christmas tree

When I think of Christmas, of the birth of Jesus Christ who came to save the world, I think of communist Mao Tse Tung and the 40 to 70 million estimated peacetime deaths during his rule. That's why I'd put him on my Christmas tree, just like the White House.



M. Obama was "unaware". Does that mean she took the decoration down or just went back to being "unaware"?
Don't you love that word "unaware". Liberals do. Tim Geithner was unaware he hadn't paid his taxes, as was Charlie Rangel and a host of other White House appointees. Barney Frank is unaware he forced high-risk lending onto banks which caused the housing collapse. John Edwars was unaware he'd fathered a child with his mistress. Bill Clinton was unaware he'd even had sex with his mistress. And Obama is unaware, while demeaning Bush's spending, that's he's already surpassed him in less than a year.

Meanwhile, I'm unaware of anything this current administration or Democrat or RINO-controlled Congress has done I can support. How sweet it is to be unaware.

AARP hails a taxi

Hot Air's Jason Mattera asks AARP why they are endorsing ObamaCare, when it rations health care for the elderly? Specifically, he questions them about MediGap, their largest policy and cash cow. The arguments and harpoons against the current health care system have been from the perspective that insurance "denies coverage" for people with "pre-existing conditions."
But so does AARP through MediGap.

Rank hypocrisy? Yeah, definitely rank. But as in all things in life, follow the money, especially when talking to people who villify profits.



What's their answer to Mattera's questions? Uh, here. Take my card. We'll talk later. I have a meeting. And on his second try? Here's another card. We'll talk later. I have a meeting. TAXI!

100 Reasons, part 3

It's natural.
Like gravity.


Counting down...

21) Professor Zbigniew Jaworowski, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw, Poland says the earth’s temperature has more to do with cloud cover and water vapor than CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.

And Al Gore has more to do with eating cows than supplying their Gas-X.

22) There is strong evidence from solar studies which suggests that the Earth’s current temperature stasis will be followed by climatic cooling over the next few decades.

Starting in Copenhagen.

23) It is myth that receding glaciers are proof of global warming as glaciers have been receding and growing cyclically for many centuries.

It's also a myth that Ed Begley, Jr. understands the definition of "peer review".

24) It is a falsehood that the earth’s poles are warming because that is natural variation and while the western Arctic may be getting somewhat warmer we also see that the Eastern Arctic and Greenland are getting colder.

Maybe we should get these two crazy kids together.

25) The IPCC claims climate driven “impacts on biodiversity are significant and of key relevance” but those claims are simply not supported by scientific research.

Check the East Anglia emails.

26) The IPCC threat of climate change to the world’s species does not make sense as wild species are at least one million years old, which means they have all been through hundreds of climate cycles

But the polar bears are very sensitive creatures. Melting ice hurts their feelings.

27) Research goes strongly against claims that CO2-induced global warming would cause catastrophic disintegration of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets.

Research does, however, suggest beefing up email security.

28) Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels are our best hope of raising crop yields to feed an ever-growing population.

Which is why we need to kill all the humans.

29) The biggest climate change ever experienced on earth took place around 700 million years ago.

About the time Exxon-Mobile opened their northern branch.

30) The slight increase in temperature which has been observed since 1900 is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term natural climate cycles.

Never mess with the natural climate during it's cycle.

Conservative Youth group: 2012 ours

Hmmm...I'll be keeping my eye on this group. They call themselves Year of Youth and have launched Project 2012.
Interesting. Very interesting. Will we be seeing more Hannah Giles and James O'Keefes coming on the political scene?
I'm not sure ACORN can take it.

Tea Party wins popularity contest

A party that doesn't exist is beating both the Democrats and Republicans in opinion polls. RINOs take note.

The loosely organized group made of up mostly conservative activists and independent voters that’s come to be known as the Tea Party movement currently boasts higher favorability ratings than either the Democratic or Republican Parties, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll coming out later today.

More than four in 10, 41%, of respondents said they had a very or somewhat favorable view of the Tea Party movement, while 24% said they had a somewhat or very negative view of the group. The Tea Party movement gained notoriety over the summer following a series of protests in Washington, D.C. and other cities over government spending and other U.S. economic policies.

This country has been and still is conservative. The reason is simple: People want to be free. All people. In every country. And true Conservatism is the only way to get there. Conservatism fights for the smallest minority in the world: the individual.

Delicious: Copenhagen hit with blizzard

photo courtesy of Drudge Report

Who said God doesn't have a sense of humor? The Al Gore Effect strikes again. Wonder if he's getting annoyed with all this severe winter weather following him around the globe. Sucks to be Al.

World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.

“Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,” Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.”

It's Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye and world Marxist leaders dreaming with every Christmas card, or carbon tax, they write.

Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit).

Do you think God's trying to tell them something? Like...hey there little fellas, you can't control the weather. Sorry. Why don't you focus on things you can do, like balancing your budget.

It's tough to accept we're not the most powerful forces in the world. Mankind has been wanting to be God since Eve grabbed that apple. It's an utterly false and destructive desire. It's taken a juicy bite out of our culture with the hoax of global warming.

No matter how important you want to feel, you cannot control the temperature of the planet, the weather, or the seasons. Get a grip. What makes you important, what makes you irreplaceable, is the worth God has placed upon His creation. And to accept your true worth, you must first accept God, that He is the Supreme Power of this world. Not you.

People, it seems, would rather belief their mere exhales are killing polar bears. Which theory do you think takes more faith?

Axelrod calls left "insane"

On basic semantics, I couldn't agree with you more. On ideology, not so much.

Their center is flooding out of the Democrat party. The right never even dipped their toes in Hope and Change. And now Axelrod isn't all that lovesick with the left either.

Who likes this President again?

Trying to stave off a sudden fusillade from the left, White House senior adviser David Axelrod said Thursday that Howard Dean's criticisms of health-care reform are "predicated on a bunch of erroneous conclusions" and that for progressives to torpedo the legislation "would be a tragic, tragic outcome."

“To defeat a bill that will bend the curve on this inexorable rise in health-care costs is insane,” Axelrod said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” "I don’t think that you want this moment to pass. It will not come back."

Neither will Obama's poll numbers, if this passes. Rock. Hard place. Being out of power never felt so good.

As The Senate Turns

Yesterday, on As The Senate Turns, Sen. Baucus couldn't understand why Sen. Coburn would want Senators to read a 767-page amendment to the healthcare bill and then individually acknowledge whether or not they understood it.
Today, we join the Senate during the hours that followed. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the author of the 767-page amendment, returns to the floor in a sweaty display of irritation and fury. He demands his amendment not be read. And in the background, you can hear Coburn demanding the Senate follow it's own rules of procedure.
Let's join the show already in progress.



Here's the issue: You cannot yank an amendment off the floor while it's being read without unanimous consent by the Senate. It's called a rule. I know, I know. Libs hate rules when they are applied to themselves. But hey, that's the Senate. That's the gig they signed up for. There are rules that must be followed and Sanders was allowed to skip those rules.

Sen. Mitch McConnel explains the Senate's rules to the Senate.



Couple of points:
- If you want to add an amendment onto a bill, you should expect it might get read on the floor. And if it does, why in the world would reading it outloud anger you enough to yank it out completely? Was it not important? 767-pages and it can be just as easily removed as inserted? Why panic when people hear what this amendment does?
- Notice the alarmist state Sen. Sanders rehashes. Woe unto all us Americas. Woe unto us. We've got unemployment and wars and cough global warming. Liberals can't get anything done without making it a crisis. It's straight from the pages of Sal Alinksy's Rules for Radicals. Freak People Out! Then when you steal them blind while telling them it's for their own good, they'll believe you.

If you're really in the mood to get freaked out, reading Reid's health care bill should do the trick. Play the soundtrack from Bram Stoker's Dracula in the background to set the mood. Sen. Coburn, a practicing physician, doesn't care for horror stories. He outlines the gore you'll find in Reid's bill. More at the link.

I recently suggested that seniors will die sooner if Congress actually implements the Medicare cuts in the health-care bill put forward by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. My colleagues who defend the bill—none of whom have practiced medicine—predictably dismissed my concern as a scare tactic. They are wrong. Every American, not just seniors, should know that the rationing provisions in the Reid bill will not only reduce their quality of life, but their life spans as well.

My 25 years as a practicing physician have shown me what happens when government attempts to practice medicine: Doctors respond to government coercion instead of patient cues, and patients die prematurely. Even if the public option is eliminated from the bill, these onerous rationing provisions will remain intact......

Additionally, the Reid bill depends on the recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in no fewer than 14 places. This task force was responsible for advising women under 50 to not undergo annual mammograms. The administration claims the task force recommendations do not carry the force of law, but the Reid bill itself contradicts them in section 2713. The bill explicitly states, on page 17, that health insurance plans "shall provide coverage for" services approved by the task force. This chilling provision represents the government stepping between doctors and patients. When the government asserts the power to provide care, it also asserts the power to deny care.

Hilarious Hate Rants

The left are tolerant. And compassionate. By their words you shall know them. Or, at least, laugh at them.

John Gibson compiled these hate rants from the left blogosphere, providing a dramatic rereading by his staff in his radio program. What has them so upset? Well...today...it's Joe Lieberman who isn't voting "present" on the ObamaCare monstrosity. Tomorrow? Probably Sarah, Rush or Glenn. But that's tomorrow. Here's the hate rants for today. Feel free to point and laugh, you right-wing mobsters.

100 Reasons, part 2

It's natural.

Continued...

11) Politicians and activists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago

You can blame it on the rain. Cos the rain don't mind.

12) Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds

The cows will be relieved to hear it.

13) Peter Lilley MP said last month that “fewer people in Britain than in any other country believe in the importance of global warming. That is despite the fact that our Government and our political class—predominantly—are more committed to it than their counterparts in any other country in the world”.

It loses it's appeal when viewed from the inside out.

14) In pursuit of the global warming rhetoric, wind farms will do very little to nothing to reduce CO2 emissions

They'll blow it away. Sorry. That was just pitiful.

15) Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity.

Which is why absurd people embrace it.

16) A Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming.

I'm often embarrassed myself, Willie.

17) The science of what determines the earth’s temperature is in fact far from settled or understood.

You flat-earther.

18) Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapour which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to control

Make the water stop exhaling.

19) A petition by scientists trying to tell the world that the political and media portrayal of global warming is false was put forward in the Heidelberg Appeal in 1992. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize winners, from 106 countries have signed it.

Nobel Prizes don't mean much these days. Got any celebrities?

20) It is claimed the average global temperature increased at a dangerously fast rate in the 20th century but the recent rate of average global temperature rise has been between 1 and 2 degrees C per century - within natural rate.

Details, details. Just tax the rich already.

Senators? Read? Nay.

Hold on. Sen. Max Baucus is giggling and he's making me giggle, too. Oh the whimsy of it all!



clearing throat I'm over it.

On a cold day in December, while Americans hustle about their holiday preparations - spending less and saving nothing - a Senator in the capital decided to create a little light reading. Taking the steaming bowl of excrement known as the Senate's ObamaCare bill, Sen. Bernie Sanders decided to add an amendment. A trifle thing, really. Only 767 pages to insert a single-payer system.

Then stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that national bankruptcy wouldn't find us there.

Sen. Tom Coburn decided an amendment such as this should be read. And since his fellow Senators aren't really into reading, as a Christmas gift to all, he demanded the Senate clerk read the entire amendment on the floor. Not the bill, mind you. Only the amendment.

This was Democrat Sen. Max Baucus's response. chuckle, chuckle And what a giddly response it was, like sugar plum fairies and sneaky mistletoe.

I cannot certify giggle that members of the Senate will understand giggle what they’re reading. That presumes a certain level of perception on my part in understanding in delving in the minds of Senators that not only that they read chuckle but that they've taken the time to understand.

Oh Baucus. You silly nilly.
His argument to reading the amendment, let alone the bill, is that he has no idea if his fellow Senators have the reading comprehension skills of a second grader. To read? And also understand? This cannot be determined! It's too much to ask!

Coburn then explains to Baucus, in the simplest terms possible so that a cricket could understand, that he isn't asking for Baucus to certify his fellow Senators have the brain capacity to read and understand, but for each Senator to "certify themselves."
In other words, like the rest of the functioning adult population, that Senators must read the bill and accept - when everything goes to h-e-double hockey sticks - they are responsible for their votes. To face their consituents.

Oh contraire! Baucus refutes. You can't expect Senators to know what the bloody blue blazes they are voting on, do you? Do you Coburn? Huh? Huh? Do you? Do you really think these grown men and women can actually perform their duties? And then be culpable for their own decisions? How absurd.
I mean, hey Coburn, if you want to say you read something and understood it, you go ahead pal. Knock yourself out.

Coburn responds with a simple question:

"The Senator won't accept that we as a body, on 1/6th of the economy, ought to say that we know what we're doing?"

Nay. They were elected to make speeches, take junkets, kiss babies of various skin colors, and appear on The Colbert Report, not giggle, giggle read.

O: Insulation's sexy

"Insulation's sexy stuff."

You've obviously never had to install it, you nitwit.

100 Reasons

Natural. Like gravity.

HERE are the 100 reasons, released in a dossier issued by the European Foundation, why climate change is natural and not man-made:

1) There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.

Taxes don't need proof.

2) Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.

Then it must be from cow flatulence.

3) Warmer periods of the Earth’s history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels.

CO2 was always the slowest kid in class.

4) After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, too.

5) Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high.

History is so yesterday. Live in the now.

6) Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time.

Climate changes because no one will accept it for who it really is.

7) The 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.

The earth has never been into fads.

8) The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited.

The other 3,940 are all of Al Gore's imaginary friends.

9) Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming.

When they said "hide the decline", they were talking about Oprah's viewing audience.

10) A large body of scientific research suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of climate change during the past hundred years.

So tax the Sun and leave the rest of us alone.

More tomorrow!

The Goracle has mispoken

Insolence! Do not ask a question of The Goracle that The Goracle will not ask of himself. That's the first rule of ClimateClub.



Truthfully, I was impressed to see Al Gore walking. I assumed he rode everywhere on one of those battery-charged shopping carts. The man burns so much energy everywhere else, I assumed he'd want to practice conservation with his own.

He doesn't take questions because sound bites bite him back. Even his rehearsed statements have the spotty substance of an A-list celebrity gorging on the vapid holes in Swiss cheese. The UK Times Online noticed:

There are many kinds of truth.

Actually, there's only one.

Al Gore was poleaxed by an inconvenient one yesterday.

That would be the one I'm talking about.

The former US Vice-President, who became an unlikely figurehead for the green movement after narrating the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, became entangled in a new climate change “spin” row.

Gore off-sets his lies by investing in truth credits.

Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years.

Then he offered the audience snow cones, but he wouldn't stop exhaling so they melted.

In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”

About the same amount of time it'll take him to fight off a nasty case of dandruff.

However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water with an icy blast.

Even though ice is extinct.

“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

Gore pulled the figure from a speech he made in 1978.

Mr Gore’s office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.

"Several" as in five or seven.

The embarrassing error cast another shadow over the conference after the controversy over the hacked e-mails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, which appeared to suggest that scientists had manipulated data to strengthen their argument that human activities were causing global warming.

The conference can't afford any more shadows or clouds or even shade trees. They need full sun, full brilliant sun, full brilliantly warming sun while they suffer under a freezing snow storm and loyal global-warming journalists are freezing in press lines.

I'll leave you with a hilarious article about AP science writer Seth Borenstein, who incorporates so much exaggeration in his articles that scientists have denounced him, in want of global warming:

With U.N. security letting in only those cleared last week, hundreds of accredited delegates, journalists and NGO representatives were left to stand for hours in near-freezing temperatures before being let through. "It was crazy," AP's Seth Borenstein said. "You couldn't leave the line. You couldn't go to the bathroom, you couldn't eat. Then snowflakes started falling. One woman even said, 'if lightning strikes me, would they take me out of line?'"

People started handing out food -- one gave out tangerines, another croissants. A man screamed "I don't need food. I need socks! I'm freezing my ass off out here." At one point, a U.N. official announced the wait would be longer, prompting the crowd to boo and chant "Let Us In!" [...]

Seth himself stepped into the line at 7:55 a.m. and was through at 3:15 p.m., but only after another AP reporter, John Heilprin, "saved my bacon" by persuading a U.N. security guard to go out and fetch him. "John was afraid to go out himself in case they wouldn't let him back in ... the first thing I did when I saw him was give him a big hug. I have never been so grateful to be indoors." Seth's neighbors in line? "Oh they're still out there."

Constitution? what Constitution?

This is for all you ignored Constitutions out there. Do bills being passed without you got you down? Do you feel under appreciated by the citizens you love? Did your government forget your birthday? Or show up to the celebration begrudgingly? Do you suspect your government no longer takes it's vow to you seriously?

Here's how to tell if a Congressman just isn't that into you.

Innovation: I'll drink to that

Oh, wine. You savory fruit, you.

To me, a good wine is a great story. There is the intrigue and mystery, the anticipation for wonder, the character richness, the quirky twists, the aroma of a journey on the brink of execution. I'm no wine aficionado. I simply know what I like. And I like to find out more about what I like.

In this Reason.TV report, they show the correlation between why freedom and capitalism creates a beautiful bottle. The French wine industry, once thought to be unparalleled to any other wine, handicapped itself with government restrictions and regulations. For America, it allowed an opening. And in the 70s, California emerged as a place where great stories are poured out.

Since, American wine exports have skyrocketed. And, in fact, the fruits of this capitalistic labor have even spread to places like my home state of Oklahoma, currently surprising many national and international competitions with our heritage of agricultural brilliance.
In short, we know how to produce an excellent wine. And to prove it, I'll continue my steadfast research to try them all.



Here's a plug to my favorite wine, Syrah from Whispering Vines in Oklahoma. Every time I expose a wine-loving friend to a glass, they fall in love - with the wine, not me.

O's Wall Street love affair

"I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of, you know, fat cat bankers on Wall Street."

Obama
12/13/09

True. That's Little Timmy Geithner's job, along with O's economic advisers Michael Froman and Jamie Rubin. Here's the interesting part. O hired Wall Street while demonizing Wall Street to fix Wall Street.
Make sense?
Of course it does.
This is why incarcerated felons run our prisons, drug curriculum is taught by instructors during an Opium trip, and prostitutes are in high demand to hold self-esteem corporate workshops.

The BFF relationship between O's White House and Wall Street, including those responsible for not only getting us into this financial mess but then brought in to get us out, is exposed in an ongoing report by Rush Limbaugh. I meant Glenn Beck. No, wait. It's Fox News.

Actually, it's Rolling Stone. Click for the video.

Meet a Hypocrite

"The 'inconvenient truth' overhanging the UN's Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world. A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days."

I wonder which child she'll be giving up for adoption?

more BIG sights, more BIG news

Andrew Breitbart knew exactly what I wanted for Christmas - truth. He's launching more BIG sites. First, there was Big Hollywood. Then, Big Government. Now, Big Journalism coming in January.
I'm so impressed, I may need to erect a creepy statue of him as a small boy.

A woman poses next to a bronze statue of U.S. President Barack Obama as a boy at Menteng Park in Jakarta December 10, 2009. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo)

(He all grown up now, as are his ears.)

“Big Journalism will be the go-to site for solidly backed-up stories, sharp points of view, and really great writing,” he said. “We are defenders of the First Amendment and resolute enemies of political correctness. That’s the key to the site’s philosophy.”

No political correctness? Okay. Now I'm adding a creepy butterfly to that creepy statue.

"If these traditional media outlets can’t be shamed into telling the truth, diverted for doing the wrong story, for simply running defense for one party, and mocked away from creating journalistic rules that only hold those on the right accountable, then it puts us in a position to do more than we’ve done in the past with talk radio and web aggregation. The market is wide open to go on the offensive, to tell truths that aren’t being told. The center-right alternative media has been playing a passable prevent defense, constantly saying ‘that’s not right’ for consistently biased reporting. Now we aim to offer more aggressive journalism and to give the mainstream media a little dose of its own medicine."

Should the MSM be intimidated? Yes. Breitbart knows how to crack open a headline. He broke the ACORN prostitution ring, the NEA conference call, and I have a feeling he's got more up his sleeve. In fact, he definitely has more up his sleeve, confirmed after he made this statement on Hannity back in November:

"Not only are there more tapes, it's not just ACORN. And this message is to Attorney General (Eric) Holder. I want you to know that we have more tapes, it's not just ACORN, and we're going to hold out until the next election cycle. Or else, if you want to do a clean investigation, we will give you the rest of what we have."

Forget the statue. Let's just make the man President.

Also, stay tuned. Breitbart says more sites are coming, including Big Education, Big Tolerance, Big Jerusalem, Big Peace and more. Katie Couric might want to start making nice.

Hollywood promoting the crazies

Not that the idea warrants a headline. Seriously. Most outspoken political Hollywoodcons are off their rocker and running through the streets naked screaming, "Would you be mind? Could you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor?"
In fact, don't most of them get arrested for doing that very thing?

This time, dressed and showered and illuminated by the most pleasing stage lights, stars like Matt Damon (who brilliantly reads lines like no other line reader, except those other several thousand line readers), Danny Glover, Marisa Tomei, Tim Robbins, Josh Brolin (didn't he try making a movie against George W. and it bombed? Yes. I think I remember that), Kerry Washington, Viggo Mortensen (he's obviously no Aragorn), and Bruce Springsteen will be pushing history rewriter Howard Zinn during a History Channel special.

Next week Matt Damon, still fresh-faced but now a $10 million-a-movie anti-capitalist, will use his stardom and boyish smile to promote Zinn’s work again. On Sunday The History Channel will serve as a delivery system for Zinn’s subversive anti-American agenda: a documentary co-produced by Damon entitled “The People Speak,” based on A People’s History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States, which Zinn co-edited with anti-war-on-terror socialist Anthony Arnove.

Who is Howard Zinn?

Here's a little introduction. This is Zinn on Iranian television (where women wrap their head in scarfs because they're more free to be fashionable) to blame America for the 9/11 attacks.



I can't rehearse all of Zinn's twisted dementia. Mark Tapson at BigHollywood.com has an excellent piece giving you a clear introduction of Zinn, his mark on Matt Damon, and even his book and theories being the sole foundation of the movie, Good Will Hunting. Excellent read.
But here's the crux of it. Zinn is an anti-capitalist, anti-American. He believes America's past should be used against us by picking and choosing what and how to report it. Leaving out all the many successes and actions of valor. Then teaching it to America's school children.
Truth is subjective. And even if it isn't, it's unimportant when weighed against his idea of worthwhile propaganda. In other words, he lies.

Zinn twists the past to create his own Utopian idea of America's future. The only problem? He's a historian who won't teach accurate history. Doesn't that make him pretty much useless?

Along with objectivity, Zinn jettisons some historical highlights that might actually give young Americans reason to feel proud of and more knowledgeable about their country. A Conservative History of the American Left’s author and Big Hollywood contributor Daniel J. Flynn notes some of the significant omissions in the People’s History (Zinn's book plugged on Good Will Hunting):

Washington’s Farewell Address, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and Reagan’s speech at the Brandenburg Gate all fail to merit a mention. Nowhere do we learn that Americans were first in flight, first to fly across the Atlantic, and first to walk on the moon. Alexander Graham Bell, Jonas Salk, and the Wright Brothers are entirely absent. Valley Forge rates a single fleeting reference, while D-Day’s Normandy invasion, Gettysburg, and other important military battles are skipped over. In their place, we get several pages on the My Lai massacre and colorful descriptions of U.S. bombs falling on hotels, air-raid shelters, and markets during the Gulf War of the early 1990s.

Harvard historian Oscar Handlin not only exposed the book’s flaws long ago and shredded Zinn’s “deranged fairy tale”; he also expressed a keen insight: “Brendan Behan once observed that whoever hated America hated mankind, and hatred of humanity is the dominant tone of Zinn’s book.”

And now, because he makes my distaste for him so easy and fluid, I'll leave you with a few Zinn quotes:

- “If you have any kind of a social aim, if you think history should serve society in some way; should serve the progress of the human race; should serve justice in some way, then it requires that you make your selection on the basis of what you think will advance causes of humanity.”

- “I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail and the wrong people are out of jail, that the wrong people are in power and the wrong people are out of power.”

Let's wrap this up with Zinn, a 9/11 truther, telling us how the terrorists who attacked America are no different than our own military. Such a likable guy. Think I'll send him a fruitcake.

This perverse worldview lands Zinn on the wrong side of every issue he addresses: he expressed solidarity with vile academic fraud Ward Churchill, who dismissed the 3,000 victims of the 9/11 attacks as “little Eichmanns”; he placed the blame for those attacks squarely on the shoulders of American foreign policy, completely ignoring the underlying religious motivation; he endorsed the 9/11 truther movement; he offered support for former professor Sami al-Arian, who was jailed for his key role in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as “a victim of a cruel system, in which the rights of anyone who dissents from government policy are in danger”; he denounced “the so-called ‘war on terror’” as “an act of terrorism” itself (”This is not the behavior of a democracy but of a totalitarian state”); and he espoused the moral equivalence of suicide bombing (“The terrorism of the suicide bomber and the terrorism of aerial bombardment are indeed morally equivalent”) as well as the moral equivalence of the terrorists themselves (“the U.S. was reacting to the horrors perpetrated by the terrorists against innocent people in New York by killing other innocent people in Afghanistan”).

Zinn. You're a freak, one to be pitied and ignored. One day very soon, as we all will, you will come face-to-face with truth and in the awesomeness of it's power, the overwhelming rightness of it's very existence, your very knees will knock together in trembles and your tongue will be silenced. Or you could start now.

Question for Thought: Why do so many people who loathe America live here? Why not move to Afghanistan and be simpatico with their fellow comrades? I hear the price of cave-dwelling is quite affordable this time of year.

Quote Them: Gore's Gravity

"It’s a principle in physics. It’s like gravity. It exists."

The Goracle,
Guy who lost an election and beef eater on global warming


PS And like gravity, it increases and decreases, is a bit spotty, has been decreasing for the last ten years, and fluctuates according to the time of the year and the geographic location. Also, thousands of scientists, researchers, and experts also say gravity doesn't exist. In fact, even those who are committed to the concept, will sometimes exchange emails about how to leave out peer reviews on questioning gravity, how to hide their findings showing a lack of gravity, and how to destroy documents about their gravity research before releasing them to the public.
Gravity needs to be regulated. Cow flatulence and humans exhaling is increasing gravity. One day, probably in five years or so, it'll be too late. The entire human race will be stuck to the ground with no ability to stand, walk, or sit-up. It'll be the Apocalypse.
Yes, global warming is just like gravity. They're sisters, really.

Undercover Video: "That's not a baby."

Conservative youth doing these undercover videos are impressing the heck out of me. Live Action, which brought us the Lila Rose Project of undercover videos at Planned Parenthood, are launching a new series of videos called the Rose Acuna Project.
Their first stop is a Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin.

Appleton, December 9 -- New undercover footage from an Appleton, WI Planned Parenthood abortion clinic shows clinic staff, including the abortion doctor, lying to two young women about fetal development and encouraging the one who is pregnant to obtain an abortion because "women die having babies."

The part that felt like a knee slammed into my diaphram was when the doctor brags about performing abortions for 40 years. I couldn't help wondering how many Winston Churchills and Jane Austins and Wolfgang Mozarts and Martin Luther King, Jrs and John Waynes we've missed out on. All those babies, all those lives, imagine the cultural and political and personal impacts they would have had on our current world. Maybe one would have discovered the cure for cancer, written the next Lord of the Rings trilogy, directed the next Thriller video, or been stranger who stopped you from accidentally walking in front of a bus.

Just because we're unaware of the specific void doesn't mean it hasn't haunted our lives. The death of one of those children, who now would have been grown adults, could have been the one factor that would have extended our life.

Sorry for the drama. But we should never treat a life as a "choice". It's far too valuable a thing to be decided by us mere humans. God gives life and God can take it away. Otherwise, leave the dang thing alone.

911 Audio: Woman kills intruder

This happened in my beautiful state. And as sad as any death is, one of the beautiful things about this state is that people are allowed to protect their homes from intruders, like this one.

After midnight, the woman's dog began barking to wake her up. A stranger was attempting to break into her house. Once notified that she was armed and on the phone with police, the man refused to stop. He threw patio furniture through the back door to get entrance. And so she shot.



Her calm before the shooting is amazing. Her prayers are heartbreaking, especially her pleas of not wanting to hurt his man. He, however, gave her no choice. In the full audio, you can hear her crying, mourning his family, and asking God to forgive her, as well as asking for an ambulance for him. I warn you, the audio really hurts. She should never have been placed in that position. Thank God, however, she had the ability to defend herself.

This, my friends, is why we must have the right to possess guns and to use them in self-defense.

After the incident, officers found Riley's truck and his sister a few miles from the home. They say his sister was on so many drugs, she was nearly unconscious. They believe he was on drugs as well.

Yeah, we should legalize drugs like marijuana. Stellar idea.

Today's poll: Surging Sarah, Bottoming Barack

Don't look at me. I'm not making this stuff up. It's that conservative, right-wing rag the L.A. Times.

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, look what the pollsters just brought in.

A pair of new surveys revealing that President Obama is still declining and has hit a new low in job approval among Americans just 56 weeks after they elected him with a decided margin.

And -- wait for it -- Republican Sarah Palin is successfully selling a whole lot more than books out there on the road. Even among those not lining up in 10-degree weather to catch a glimpse of pretty much the only political celebrity the GOP has these days.

When asked by the White House press about Obama's poor numbers, O's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded with brilliance and maturity.

“You know, I mean I’m sure a six year old with a crayon could do something not unlike that. I don’t put a lot of stake in, never have, in the EKG that is the daily Gallup trend. I don’t pay a lot of attention to meaninglessness.”

Obama's the most popular President ever. Just ask him. And Gibbs is intelligentsia. Poll numbers schmoll numbers. Those only matter when they matter and not when they don't.

The only people this should really worry, outside of the President and the entire West Wing of course, is the media. How will they love on Obama as a sublime political figure whom the masses worship and foriegn leaders obey when Bush at this point in his Presidency was more popular. Much more popular. And people hated Bush.

President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.

Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and even Richard Nixon all had higher approval ratings 10-and-a-half months into their presidencies. Obama's immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, had an approval rating of 86 percent, or 39 points higher than Obama at this stage. Bush's support came shortly after he launched the war in Afghanistan in response to the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Does this mean Obama can't heal the world and find homes for all the abandoned puppies?

the Zo Master

Zo reads from the Environmentalist bible. Time to invoke separation of church and state.



Yeah. What he said.

First came the Ice Age

Too good to chop, edit, or interrupt. It's an article that should be read to every child - and every adult with the mind of one - forced to watch, "An Inconvenient Truth."

Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed "the coming ice age."

Random House dutifully printed "THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age." This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported "many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age."

OK, you say, that's media. But what did our rational scientists say?

In 1974, the National Science Board announced: "During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age."

You can't blame these scientists for sucking up to the fed's mantra du jour. Scientists live off grants. Remember how Galileo recanted his preaching about the earth revolving around the sun? He, of course, was about to be barbecued by his leaders. Today's scientists merely lose their cash flow. Threats work.

In 2002 I stood in a room of the Smithsonian. One entire wall charted the cooling of our globe over the last 60 million years. This was no straight line. The curve had two steep dips followed by leveling. There were no significant warming periods. Smithsonian scientists inscribed it across some 20 feet of plaster, with timelines.

Last year, I went back. That fresco is painted over. The same curve hides behind smoked glass, shrunk to three feet but showing the same cooling trend. Hey, why should the Smithsonian put its tax-free status at risk? If the politicians decide to whip up public fear in a different direction, get with it, oh ye subsidized servants. Downplay that embarrassing old chart and maybe nobody will notice.

Sorry, I noticed.

It's the job of elected officials to whip up panic. They then get re-elected. Their supporters fall in line.

Al Gore thought he might ride his global warming crusade back toward the White House. If you saw his movie, which opened showing cattle on his farm, you start to understand how shallow this is. The United Nations says that cattle, farting and belching methane, create more global warming than all the SUVs in the world. Even more laughably, Al and his camera crew flew first class for that film, consuming 50% more jet fuel per seat-mile than coach fliers, while his Tennessee mansion sucks as much carbon as 20 average homes.

His PR folks say he's "carbon neutral" due to some trades. I'm unsure of how that works, but, maybe there's a tribe in the Sudan that cannot have a campfire for the next hundred years to cover Al's energy gluttony. I'm just not sophisticated enough to know how that stuff works. But I do understand he flies a private jet when the camera crew is gone.

The fall of Saigon in the '70s may have distracted the shrill pronouncements about the imminent ice age. Science's prediction of "A full-blown, 10,000 year ice age," came from its March 1, 1975 issue. The Christian Science Monitor observed that armadillos were retreating south from Nebraska to escape the "global cooling" in its Aug. 27, 1974 issue.

That armadillo caveat seems reminiscent of today's tales of polar bears drowning due to glaciers disappearing.

While scientists march to the drumbeat of grant money, at least trees don't lie. Their growth rings show what's happened no matter which philosophy is in power. Tree rings show a mini ice age in Europe about the time Stradivarius crafted his violins. Chilled Alpine Spruce gave him tighter wood so the instruments sang with a new purity. But England had to give up the wines that the Romans cultivated while our globe cooled, switching from grapes to colder weather grains and learning to take comfort with beer, whisky and ales.

Yet many centuries earlier, during a global warming, Greenland was green. And so it stayed and was settled by Vikings for generations until global cooling came along. Leif Ericsson even made it to Newfoundland. His shallow draft boats, perfect for sailing and rowing up rivers to conquer villages, wouldn't have stood a chance against a baby iceberg.

Those sustained temperature swings, all before the evil economic benefits of oil consumption, suggest there are factors at work besides humans.

Today, as I peck out these words, the weather channel is broadcasting views of a freakish and early snow falling on Dallas. The Iowa state extension service reports that the record corn crop expected this year will have unusually large kernels, thanks to "relatively cool August and September temperatures." And on Jan. 16, 2007, NPR went politically incorrect, briefly, by reporting that "An unusually harsh winter frost, the worst in 20 years, killed much of the California citrus, avocados and flower crops."

To be fair, those reports are short-term swings. But the longer term changes are no more compelling, unless you include the ice ages, and then, perhaps, the panic attempts of the 1970s were right. Is it possible that if we put more CO2 in the air, we'd forestall the next ice age?

I can ask "outrageous" questions like that because I'm not dependent upon government money for my livelihood. From the witch doctors of old to the elected officials today, scaring the bejesus out of the populace maintains their status.

Sadly, the public just learned that our scientific community hid data and censored critics. Maybe the feds should drop this crusade and focus on our health care crisis. They should, of course, ignore the life insurance statistics that show every class of American and both genders are living longer than ever. That's another inconvenient fact.

Gary Sutton is co-founder of Teledesic and has been CEO of several other companies, including Knight Protective Industries and @Backup.

O's jobs' plan. Try not to laugh.

No, go ahead and laugh.

O had a job's summit, which means he talked, didn't listen, and will continue doing exactly what he wants - increasing government control while attacking the private sector.

You cannot increase government and benefit the economy. Impossible. Every growth, every little government job, even the person who fetches the First Lady her morning cappuccino, means removing money from the private sector to pay for it.
Basically, government is a leach. And you're the food.

Rush dissects O's speech. I heard it today and loved his commentary. Thanks to Breitbart.tv, now you can hear it, too, if you missed it.



"Tax cuts that weren't paid for."
What an idiotic statement. Sadly, a FoxNews reporter repeats the notion in the following interview. Where does this mind set come from? Americans are not only suppose to pay in enormous taxes, but then cover those taxes should they decrease because government benevolently ruled to allow us to keep some of the money we earned.

Big inhale. That's a mouthful. (And yes, I've been exhaling all day.)

I have a quick solution to our mounting deficit: payroll cuts for Congress. No more benefits. No more health care. No more retirement. If Americans can't afford retirement and medical care for themselves, why should they be expected to fund it for Congress?

Oh, and remove Pelosi's jet. Let the woman walk. She'll burn more calories.

Carl Rove responds. I love his last point: Why is the President attacking his own U.S. Treasury guy Timothy Geithner? Little Timmy designed the TARP bill, which - as Obama always leaves out - he forcefully supported.



My oh my. Are all of Obama's carefully crafted plans falling around his over-sized ears?
Actually, no. Chaos is exactly what the man wants. That's what makes him diabolical. And that's what makes Americans unemployed.

How's that Hope and Change working out for you?

the Exhales among us

Garlic breath isn't the problem. And no, mints won't help. What we really need is for everyone to stop breathing. If you must, inhale. Just don't let it out.

The EPA has ruled: CARBON KILLS!

The way was opened for the EPA to use the Clean Air Act to cut climate-changing emissions by the Supreme Court in 2007, when the court declared that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are pollutants under the Act. But the court said the EPA must determine if these pollutants pose a danger to public health and welfare before it can regulate them.

They took care of that today. EPA has ruled carbon dioxide - considered a greenhouse gas - is harming people's health and must be regulated. Selfish humans produce 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per day. So take a deep breath. And hold it.

Exhaling is so passe'.

For everyone's continued health and happiness, I propose the Great Isolation Act, segregating the heavy breathers from the more shallow ones. The regulation will also include life-saving regulations, such as beta blockers in all public water systems, the ceasing of all exercise programs, and requirements of meditation without deep breathing for 35 of the 40-hour work week.

Dangerous jobs - such as logging, fishing, and those guys cleaning windows on skyscrapers - should be pushed as safe career choices. The less people around, the better.

Also, any occupation promoting heavy breathing, such as gyms, sports, or...anything else, should be outlawed. If caught, the perpetrators should be forced to sit in a room with people breathing in their face, preferably following a meal of garlic and broccoli.

Let's all do our part by breathing inside plastic bags. I'll ask Al Gore to demonstrate.

Readers. Hello beautiful.

Thank you, as always, for stopping by, leaving comments, emails, etc. They are always an encouragement to me. Unless they're critical. Then they give me a good laugh.

Work has been busy. Very busy. So time has been nil. As you may have noticed, that makes blogging sporadic and often times brief. But I'm still here, still passionate, and still aiming to smart-off pretty much about everything liberal, progressive, or culturally impeachable.

It entertains me.

I just wanted to let you know, despite a lighter posting load, I'm not going anywhere. I'm simply making money because I'm a greedy capitalist who enjoys romantic dinners, long walks on the beach, and paying my utility bills.

Biden goes green, recycles speeches

Poor Joe. I don't pick on him a lot. Mainly because the joke's too easy. I've never found any sport pointing out the idiocy of a person who does the job fine all by himself.
Nevertheless, this article from BigGovernment.com needs recycled, much like Biden's plagiarism.

Vice President Biden keeps recycling his unemployment speeches – except he keeps confusing suburbs of his hometown of Scranton:

1. On October 19, he used Minooka:

My pop — my grandpop used to say — there was a suburb of Scranton called Minooka. He said, “When the guy in Minooka’s out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother- in-law’s out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.” Well, it’s a depression — it’s a depression for millions of Americans, through no fault of their own.

2. On October 30, 2009, he used Dickson City (the correct spelling):

My grandpop used to have an expression. We’re from Scranton. He’d say — and I mean this literally. It wasn’t viewed as a joke. He said, “Joey, when the guy in Dixon City,” a small town above Scranton, “is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When you’re brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.” And it’s a depression for millions of American people.

3. On December 3, 2009, at the White House jobs summit, he used Throop:

There used to be an expression, and I’m not joking, my grandfather always used it. He was from Scranton, Pennsylvania. He said, “When the guy from Throop is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.” And it is a depression for over 10 million Americans…

For the record, there are currently almost 16 million unemployed Americans, not 10 million, as the Vice President said today. And Harry Truman is the apparent original author of this quote, minus the reference to Scranton suburbs:

“It’s a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it’s a depression when you lose yours.”

My grandpop use to say, "Four score and seven years ago..." when referring to his '87 Chevy Suburban.

Safe Schools Czar promotes child porn in class

***CONTENT WARNING***

I'm just going to say it. Obama's Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings is a sicko. I think he needs medication. I'm not kidding. And therapy. Lots of therapy. Also, I'd like to punch him in the face. Only a few times. I'll even let him fight back.

Only problem, he'd probably enjoy it.

Today, Gateway Pundit posted a report by Scott Baker of Breitbart-TV.com and Co-Host of ‘The B-Cast concerning Jennings. It's a reading list. You know, like Charlotte's Web and Huckleberry Finn. Except, instead, it's a list of books promoting extreme, abhorrent sexual acts. Oh, and it's for children and teachers.

Wait. It gets worse.

Jennings founded GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. In fact, he was appointed to his current position almost exclusively because of this network. And in this network there's a reading list for children K-6, 7-12, and for teachers. This list of books which "furthers our mission to ensure safe schools for all students", GLSEN says.

An independent team of researchers decided to read a few books on the GLSEN list. This is what they discovered.

What we discovered shocked us. We were flabbergasted. Rendered speechless.

We were unprepared for what we encountered. Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview.

Since descriptions don't exactly present the raw vulgarity of these books, the researchers did something else.

We knew that unless we carefully documented what we were reading, the public would have a hard time accepting it. Mere descriptions on our part could not convey the emotional gut reaction one gets when seeing what Kevin Jennings wants kids to read as school assignments. So we began scanning pages from each of the books, and then made exact transcriptions of the relevant passages on each page.

To read the full report, here is Part 1 and Part 2.

This is harsh stuff. I won't tell you to read it. Two lines into the second book excerpt, I felt physically ill. I couldn't read any more. And I wish I hadn't seen that.

What I can't understand, what I can't honestly wrap my mind around, is that these books listed are on the 7-12th grade reading list. In other words, children from ages 12 to 18 are prompted to read this trash. Even as an adult, I wouldn't subject my mind to such filth.

Why is Jennings obsessed with children being blatantly and lewdly exposed to homosexual sex? Perhaps it's because Jennings, himself, thinks of children in a sexual manner. Like I said, the man is a sicko.

Flush this guy out of our schools. Then clean the toilet with bleach.

CBC Commentator: No HS diploma for Goracle science

"You wouldn't accept that at a Grade 9 science fair."

Yes, but what about a Grade 8?



Oh those global warming deniers, always bringing up science. Can't we get past this yet? Ed Begley, Jr. has a television show to promote.

ClimateGate popping up everywhere

The media are under attack. It's terrible. It's horrible. People everywhere are thinking for themselves and demanding journalists do their job.

It's like people aren't even robots anymore.




By the way, it's snowing in Houston today, the earliest on record.

Frosty the Potty-Mouth Snowman?

I thought it was a joke. At first. Not a funny one. But a joke, nonetheless. Then I realized, no. Someone at CBS actually thought this was a good way of advertising their showing of "Frosty the Snowman."

To promo the showing of the classic children's cartoon, CBS took clips and dubbed in references to porn, woman's breasts, sexual references, and a few other crass jokes I didn't even get. I'd say enjoy. But you won't.



Yes, they aired yet. Were they high at the time? I wish. But I doubt it. They did this fully sober.
Why? Because they did it again.



Rachel Skylar at Mediaite had a few words.

Wow. What an age we live in. On one network, Adam Lambert is banned for being lewd and lascivious; on another, “Frosty the Snowman” is celebrated for it. Yes that’s right: CBS has taken that favorite holiday classic and defiled it with porn, boobs and a pretty clear reference to crabs.

As a promo for Frosty, airing on Dec. 18th, CBS has recut scenes from the animated favorite into two videos, one with audio from the crass, womanizing Barney from “How I Met Your Mother” and the other from the crass, womanizing Charlie from “Two and a Half Men.” As a result, the videos — while awesomely featuring Mediaite fan fave Neil Patrick Harris (as well as the voice of Charlie Sheen) — trade off a pretty funny result for grownups with a pretty sacriligious result for kids. Who, by the way, presumably know how to Google, and thus an innocent search for “Frosty The Snowman CBS” would lead to multiple page one results for Frosty the Promiscuous Potty-Mouth.

Nice one CBS. Take a children's classic and smear it with filth. You better be glad Santa isn't real. God, however, is.
It isn't hard to find lack of talent. Just follow crudeness. It's the last card played before complete loss of ability. In other words, they are obviously inept. This year for Christmas, CBS network execs got themselves on the irrelevant list.

GIVE ME BACK MY CHILDHOOD, CBS! I will never look at Frosty the same way again.

Or CBS.

Say No to O'Drugs

Cocaine, meth, and now Obama. I just say no.

There is now a line of Ecstasy pills made in the image of the 44th president of the United States, according to Texas police who have snatched a batch off the streets.

Does it fit inside the Obama pez dispenser?

Ecstasy is known for a sense of elation, diminished feelings of fear and anxiety, and ability to induce a sense of intimacy with others.

Confirmed. MSM really are high on Obama.

If you add to the list of side effects lack of decisiveness, egotism, national hatred, control freak, and self-love, then it's time for the President to pee in a cup.

Der Spiegel: fun to say, fun to read

Do I think this article is good because I just like saying the name of the German magazine, Der Spiegel? I'll admit, that's part of it.
The other is the pure visceral tongue-lashing writer Gabor Steingart (also a fun name to pronounce though less so than Der Spiegel) gives Obama and his robotic fanatics - Chris Matthews, we're talking about you - who refuse to accept the reality coming out of the President's mouth and instead worship the motion of his lips. Or the thrill he sends up their leg.

Even as a teenager with posters of Corey Haim on my wall, I wasn't as pathetic.

Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America's new strategy for Afghanistan. It seemed like a campaign speech combined with Bush rhetoric -- and left both dreamers and realists feeling distraught.

More false than usual? Can plastic become more plasticy?

One can hardly blame the West Point leadership. The academy commanders did their best to ensure that Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama's speech would be well-received.

Just minutes before the president took the stage inside Eisenhower Hall, the gathered cadets were asked to respond "enthusiastically" to the speech. But it didn't help: The soldiers' reception was cool.

Less like RealityTV and more like a game show, speeches by our President now require cues to the audience for applause.

One didn't have to be a cadet on Tuesday to feel a bit of nausea upon hearing Obama's speech.

Heck, Obama can make me nauseous and he doesn't even need to speak.

It was the least truthful address that he has ever held.

Again, levels of truth? Can one go from lying to being more lying'ly?

He spoke of responsibility, but almost every sentence smelled of party tactics. He demanded sacrifice, but he was unable to say what it was for exactly.

We're not sure either, only that it involves every American, unless your name is Barack. Very common name here.

An additional 30,000 US soldiers are to march into Afghanistan -- and then they will march right back out again. America is going to war -- and from there it will continue ahead to peace. It was the speech of a Nobel War Prize laureate.

But think of all that healthy exercise the troops will be getting.

Just in Time for the Campaign

For each troop movement, Obama had a number to match. US strength in Afghanistan will be tripled relative to the Bush years, a fact that is sure to impress hawks in America. But just 18 months later, just in time for Obama's re-election campaign, the horror of war is to end and the draw down will begin. The doves of peace will be let free.

And just in time for Christmas, a red-light special on carbon credits. Buy your family the right to breathe this holiday season.

The speech continued in that vein. It was as though Obama had taken one of his old campaign speeches and merged it with a text from the library of ex-President George W. Bush. Extremists kill in the name of Islam, he said, before adding that it is one of the "world's great religions." He promised that responsibility for the country's security would soon be transferred to the government of President Hamid Karzai -- a government which he said was "corrupt." The Taliban is dangerous and growing stronger. But "America will have to show our strength in the way that we end wars," he added.

For every Obama statement, there is an equal and opposite restatement.

It was a dizzying combination of surge and withdrawal, of marching to and fro.

Again, exercise. This isn't about fighting terror but fighting carbs.

The fast pace was reminiscent of plays about the French revolution: Troops enter from the right to loud cannon fire and then they exit to the left. And at the end, the dead are left on stage.

That sounds like one sucky play.

Obama's Magic No Longer Works

But in this case, the public was more disturbed than entertained.

These things happen when 116 Americans die while waiting on reinforcements and Obama's busy playing golf.

Indeed, one could see the phenomenon in a number of places in recent weeks: Obama's magic no longer works. The allure of his words has grown weaker.

Maybe he just needs to reread the Harry Potter series.

It is not he himself who has changed, but rather the benchmark used to evaluate him. For a president, the unit of measurement is real life.

Not rhetoric? Bummer.

A leader is seen by citizens through the prism of their lives -- their job, their household budget, where they live and suffer. And, in the case of the war on terror, where they sometimes die.

We're kind of sticklers about those things.

Political dreams and yearnings for the future belong elsewhere. That was where the political charmer Obama was able to successfully capture the imaginations of millions of voters. It is a place where campaigners -- particularly those with a talent for oration -- are fond of taking refuge. It is also where Obama set up his campaign headquarters, in an enormous tent called "Hope."

That's the thing about tents, their only good when the weather is perfectly moderate. Otherwise, they are a lousy substitute for four solid, boring, impenetrable walls and a roof with integrity.

In his speech on America's new Afghanistan strategy, Obama tried to speak to both places. It was two speeches in one. That is why it felt so false. Both dreamers and realists were left feeling distraught.

And bored. And ticked because he forced the Charlie Brown Christmas special off the air.

The American president doesn't need any opponents at the moment. He's already got himself.

And the two of them are in love. That complicates things a bit.
