Why is any one surprised? He said he was going to do exactly this.
I kept saying, We live in a Representative Democracy. Everything doesn’t just change over night because one Man or woman says so. The President can’t just say, “From now on you must change your underwear every half hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check…” That’s Bananas!—Woody Allen
There is a difference right?
Don’t worry—I kept hoping to myself. There is a system of checks and balances—Three branches of government… A Congress made up of a House of Representatives and a Senate. Well right now everyone’s still holding hands each time they jump off of something…
The Pendulum swings both ways… I’m still saying.
We live in a Representative Democracy.We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy.We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy.We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy.We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracy.
It’s time for the REALLY REALLY strongly worded letter from the UN—ahahahahahahahaha! (—For those of you Team America fans out there!)
WHATEVER…
UPDATE: 4/9/09
Hans Brix where are you???
REARRY…
That’s what Hillary Secretary-of-State-Clinton has been saying for the past two weeks—If North Korea fires the missile, there’s going to be trouble from the UN, sanctions, even letters…
Don’t do it!
I’m gonna count to three, don’t…
One… I’m not kidding.
Two… There’s not going to be a four. Don’t do it!
Two and a half… I’m gonna get the UN involved (which has been involved right along and as ever so effective…)
Take your finger off the button. I’m gonna say Three and second now. I’m putting the letter in an envelope as I type with one hand…
I mean it…
Don’t!
Three!
Kim Jong II: Fire! Up up and away my beautiful Baristic Missile. Reminds me of a song.
“Hillary send that bastard Kim Jong II an Ipod with his own greatest hits on it, will you. Oh, don’t forget to include some of my strong-on-defense speeches**, and some pictures of me and the wife…”
“The United States believes that this action is best dealt with — the most appropriate response would be a United Nations Security Council resolution,” she added.
Not the Letter?Back to the policies that got us in trouble in the first place.
Today’s rocket launch by North Korea capped off what has been a remarkably successful first quarter for the world’s most toxic regimes and troublesome bad actors.
In January, Barack Obama gave his first presidential interview to Al Arabiya television, during which he praised Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah for his “great courage.” Obama has since fully embraced the Saudi peace initiative for the Middle East. (Among the initiative’s non-negotiable details is the Palestinian “right of return,” which would overwhelm the Jewish State with millions of “claimants.”) A week ago, the UN Human Rights Council passed a Saudi-backed “defamation of religion” resolution. The resolution internationalizes Islamic blasphemy laws to give cover to human rights and other abuses in Muslim countries. In England last week, Obama bowed before King Abdullah.
In February, a Taliban group secured a permanent peace treaty with Pakistan’s government, allowing the repressive Islamists to take control of Swat Valley, a mere 150 miles from Islamabad. After publicly renouncing the deal, American officials in Pakistan gave it their private backing.
Safer. I don’t think so.

CNN.com isn’t even featuring this story… You should be asking why, oh they have commentary why it’s not a big deal:
North Korea’s thinly disguised missile test violates U.N. resolutions and should be condemned. But it is not a serious threat to the United States, nor does it justify a crash program to deploy an expensive, unproven anti-missile system.
Joseph Cirincione says U.S. should try to renew negotiations to end North Korean nuclear program. Get me the Letter stat!
Curses, foiled again Reuters quotes diplomatic sources as saying that UN Security Council is unlikely to impose any sanctions on North Korea for firing a missile in defiance of earlier Security Council Resolutions.
Barack saysPock-i-stahn, I say Pack-istan. I say Afghanistan and so does Barack Obama. What’s up with that? Why if we’re going to all the trouble to get the native pronunciation of Pakistan why don’t we go to the trouble to get Afghanistan right?
People have given Obama a hard time for his Pock-i-stahn and Tal-ee-bahn pronunciations. My question is why if you’re going to say both in the same sentence say them the same? You know there is some reason. I just want to know why. I mean it seems to me to be a bit pretentious… Like on Seinfeld when George is breaking up with his girlfriend, she tells him she wants the truth and he tells her the truth—she’s pretentious… (remember she says Pape-ee-AY-Mash-AY for paper mache and Sam-U-el for Samuel)
And if that’s the case that’s fine, but stop trying to make believe it’s something bigger than that—like you’re better because of it—because that is an elitist attitude. And it doesn’t make you better because of it, except in your own circle of Elitists…
Don’t bother watching the entire video, you can get the point in little less than a couple of minutes.
I really don’t care how you pronounce things. I’m American, I speak English, I can sound like a mug from the Bronx where I grew up at times—if I’m visiting or something (for the most part I’ve lost that inflection) But I don’t have an agenda for how I pronounce things, I say them how I say them. I am native to where I’m from and that’s how I pronounce things. It doesn’t make it wrong. I don’t think we need to pronounce things the way the natives from any particular place do in order to be somehow correct. That’s what’s supposed to make us in the world unique. I’m not interested in one world, one everything, I kinda like individuality. Accepting others for their differences not melding to become one indistinguishable blob of the same.
So I really don’t care unless we’re talking about mispronouncing something—that’s different, I would like to be told the correct pronounciation. But when I see something transparent, something that’s motivated by an agenda or something else I will question it—why? Because I’m basically curious.
You say tomato. I say tomato. It all means the same thing doesn’t it?
OSama Bin Laden: Brothers I can’t believe our luck. The hits just keep on coming! These Americans are so smart, little do they know how easy they make it.
First they demonize the one guy (Little Bushy as we like to call him) who stood up against us, the same guy who has me hopping from one hole to the next. This man rains fire upon us, puts into place several ways to impinge on our money supply and they scream at him, call him Hitler, accuse him of spying on them—their own free system works for ourside. Little Bushy effectively uses splashing water in a couple Al Qaeda’s faces to save US lives when we just chop off their heads to scare (terrorize) people—again their own system crucifies the devil-against-us and then they try to figure out how it’s their own fault we do what we do to them… Praise Allah.
Then by Allah’s grace, up with Saddam Hussein and down from the heavens with Barack Hussein…
Right out of the box The Great ONE (President Barack Obama) tells us he will close Resort Guantanamo in Cuba. Where will they be released—inside the US itself of course… Do you know how hard it is to get a VISA to go there??? I mean besides having to go through that hellhole Mexico. (even there the Americans can’t get out of their own way to making themselves safe—they vote on putting up a fence to make their country safer and then they don’t build the fence… Not to mention the help of their own Sheeple being nudged by the elitist liberal class, making ill comparisons to the Berlin Wall which continues to give us free access if we need it.) These American idiots surround themselves with picket fences and gated communities and then make arguments against fences. Laughable! Ha!) They complain about money supplies yet make it impossible for themselves to get out of the hole.
So let’s go down the list of our newest good fortune:
The Devil’s party is defeated by the more educated, intelligent, dove loving, liberal thinking, Elitist/Liberal party. (the name itself makes me sick—they’re heathens who have no god because they are too smart to believe in god. And then they take no personal responsibility for their indiscretions or perversions they constantly dittle with.)
The ONE, who is worshiped like Allah in America and around the MAN-MADE globe, basically starts disassembling all the things, that have given us pebbles in our sandals, because of the need for party power everything that was demonized needs to be distanced from and CHANGED. Change, the mantra they keep bleating about, is coming my friends. My guess is they should have been more careful about what they wished for…
Global War on Terrornow is to be: Overseas Contingency Operation. That’s so nice, I don’t even know what it means! Are they going on vacation across the sea? Don’t these morons know that words have meaning for a reason?
“OMB says: ‘This Administration prefers to avoid using the term “Long War” or “Global War on Terror” [GWOT]. Please use “Overseas Contingency Operation.’”
Critics have pleaded with the Obama administration to abandon the use of “Global War on Terror” because they say it mischaracterizes the nature of the enemy and its abilities.
They even claim that they will not torture which infers that they have been torturing! We’re chopping off heads on Video to shock, scare, and threaten the world and they want to give us nice antiseptic names! Thank you!
They are taking the T E R R O R out of terrorist! Thank you!
As they strip the guns away from their citizens leaving only the criminals and their war machine with guns—they plan to strip all the weapons from all the nations leaving only us and their enemies with the weapons.
My brothers we couldn’t have prayed for more, soon the only people who will have the nuclear weapons are the Terrorists, I meandetermined MAN-MADE situation makers—us! So our Overseas Contingency Operation I mean our Global Jihad on the INFIDELS! Make no bones about it we will not make the same mistakes our enemy makes!
It’s only a matter of time before I am invited to break bread in the White House… They will even hold the door open and probably give me an iPod with pictures of me and my greatest moments and speeches of The ONE on it.
You know those movies where there’s this bad bad guy who always gets away with being greedy, ruthless, and sooooo much smarter than the rest of us?
The audience keeps saying, “How is it possible for him to get away with it?” “I hope he get’s his!” “Why do his loyal henchmen stand by him?” “when will somebody step forward and do what needs to be done?”
And then finally he gets shot in the back unexpectedly by his turncoat right hand man… We are all so happy! Especially when the guilty are caught and are so ANGRY they can’t believe it!
They can’t believe it because the lies and deceptions in the name of the common good, the common man, which were so successful for such a long time don’t work any more. And all that anger and hate that was drummed up against other herrings and misdirections now turn on the guiltiest of all—the guy smarter than the rest of us!
I give you Chris Dodd, who’s collected hundreds of thousands of dollars (in addition to sweetheart mortgage deals by the same organizations (he helped) dragging us underwater), managed to dodge and weave his way with crafty double-speak and laws and amendments he helped write.
He’s about to get shot in the back by the same people he’s conned all this time—The PEOPLE!
Why because his right hand man—his colleagues in Congress are going to hold up the gun and shoot before it’s realized by the angry mob (The PEOPLE) that they too have a place in all this mess!
Next in line would be Barney Frank if all goes well!
The saddest part of all of this is that it isn’t a movie script at all, it’s real—real money, real ruined lives, and the people paying for it are all of us and the people getting away with it are the people we trust to watch the store… The smart guys.
Hey Smart guys (and girls I mean you too)—The PEOPLE are coming! Did you see that movie Night of the Living Dead? It’s coming to a theater near you—real soon!
1. He claimed that he had not the slightest involvement in the AIG bonus exemption that he in fact helped insert.
2 He got more AIG money than anyone in the Congress — more even than Barack Obama, who came in second.
3. He got a sweetheart deal on an Irish “cottage” from a crooked stock-trader.
4. He got two preferential discount mortgage interest deals from the now-bankrupt Countrywide.
5. He was one of the Fannie Mae-enabling overseers at a time it was going broke and giving senators like Dodd himself campaign cash — he topped out near $134,000 higher than anyone else.
6. He got a sweetheart profit deal from a condo joint-buy with crook Edward Downe, Jr.
7. He intervened with the Clinton administration to get the felon Downe pardoned.
8. He misrepresented the value of his Irish cottage that he obtained via the agency of the dubious Mr. Kessinger.
9. He is the nation’s premier hypocrite as he lambastes Wall Street crooks and insiders from his collapsing soapbox.
Well, those are the proverbial nine lives — so, Senator Dodd, time to go: “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and lets us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”
After a day in which Democrats scapegoated Edward Liddy for paying AIG bonuses in which he had no hand in creating, Chris Dodd finally reversed his earlier denials and admitted that he inserted language into Porkulus that allowed the payouts. Dodd told CNN that the devil Tim Geithner made him do it (via Michelle):
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Senate Banking committee Chairman Christopher Dodd told CNN’s Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer Wednesday that he was responsible for adding the bonus loophole into the stimulus package that permitted AIG and other companies that received bailout funds to pay bonuses.
Fall, fall on your sword, ye Purveyor of Hypocritical Indignation.
Via CNN, unscrupulous borrower and No. 1 AIG benefactor Chris Dodd admits that yes, yes, he did support AIG bonus protections before he was against them:
Partisan, Nancy Pelosi wonders? How can anyone think that the Speaker of the House is partisan? Pelosi scoffs at the notion that she acts in a partisan manner in an interview with Charlie Rose, picked up by The Hill:
Obama faced an early test last week, when, in the midst of the debate over economic stimulus, Democrats worked to shut Republicans out of the policy process, then behaved boorishly when Republicans complained.
Democratic leaders responded with the political equivalent of a sack dance in football. “If it’s passed with 63 votes or 73 votes, history won’t remember it,” said Senator Richard Durbin, Democrat of Illinois.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added to the mood by saying, “Yes, we wrote the bill. Yes, we won the election.”
Why the words we use and the rhetoric we throw around for personal/political gain, MATTER—because they have big SHARP teeth and bite us in the ass when you run back into them!
It seems it’s not so easy when you’re the ONE responsible for driving, but will people accept responsibility—Naaaahhhh!

Obama and his advisers seem to be adopting rhetoric similar to the McCain campaign in 2008 as they try to convince Americans that the economy’s turned around.
I guess we can officially say that the honeymoon’s over. The New York Daily News, not exactly a pillar of conservative thought, finds itself wondering aloud about whether Barack Obama and his team have the competence to lead the nation. The whispers have grown into a chorus:
