Here’s the Fox News video everyone is talking about – the first difficult interview this President has ever dared to give.

PART 1

PART 2

 

How dare that impudent little Baier ask the King such tough questions!

By the way, is it me, or has Obama been looking really pallid lately?

Pelosi and Co. have been all over the place today, playing up an alleged $940,000,000,000.00 CBO estimate for the Democrats’ health care plan.

However, the “preliminary estimate” released by the CBO today was made without any access to the reconciliation package.  So, in essence, it’s little more than a shot in the dark – a guess based on final language that may or may not end up towing the financial line.

The CBO put it this way, on the first page of page of their estimate:

Although CBO completed a preliminary review of legislative language prior to its release, the agency has not thoroughly examined the reconciliation proposal to verify its consistency with the previous draft.  This estimate is therefore preliminary, pending a review of the language of the reconciliation proposal, as well as further review and refinement of the budgetary projections.

So, in other words, the CBO issued an preliminary estimate, based on language from a prior draft of the bill, without complete, current language.  A real CBO review won’t be possible until the final draft of the reconciliation language is presented.  Until that happens the math is just as phony as Phil Jones’ hockey stick.

Beyond that, almost all of the $940 Billion is spent in just Six Years!

This “report” is meaningless to anyone other than Pelosi and the President.

When Obama wanted the rest of the stimulus cash released, he called Bush for help.  When he needs help in Haiti, he calls Bush.  When he needs help because the Norhern Ireland peace process is about to collapse, you guessed it, he calls Bush.

Why, if Obama is just so darn wise, intelligent, and all around Dreamy, is he unable to handle these things without the assistance of a man he’s demonized for the last three years?

I don’t know what kind of environmental impact could have been generated by a bunch of six-year-olds running around the White House lawn, but fortunately, I no longer have to worry.  Our government has put on its thinking cap and found away to limit the ecological destruction caused by the annual toddler event.

The solution to the devastation?  Better eggs. 

This year’s eggs will be made of a recyclable paperboard compund that, praise be, contains absolutely NO wood fibers from endangered forests.

Since I know how concerned you’ve all been, I’ll continue.

In addition to the compressed paper, the eggs will feature vegetable-oil inks coated in a water based finish designed to be colorful, eco-friendly, and more expensive than last years eggs.

Finally, this administration is starting to solve the problems people really care about.  Up next?  Avatar depression!

After the State of the Union address, Chris Matthews commented that, during the Presidents speech, he “forgot” that Obama was “a black guy.”

Well, thank God Dan Rather appeared on Matthews’ show to remind him….

Now, I’m not arguing that equating Obama’s legislative impotence with an inability to sell watermelons necessarily makes Dan Rather a racist.  However, leftie pundits love to cite the concept of “subconscious racism” – the notion that most white people don’t even know what racists they really are, until they let something like this slip. 

Olbermann and Garafalo basically keep themselves relevant by exploiting this notion.  So, with that in mind…..   What this clip clearly demonstrates is the “unprovable fact” that Dan Rather is a subconscious racist.

It also demonstrates the old media double standard.  If Limbaugh, Beck, or Hannity had said this, the firestorm would have been immediate and lethal.  I doubt they would have been allowed to finish their shows before they were yanked off the air.

Good stuff, Mr. Rather….

Updates and a New Look on Monday

blogdwarves

OK, everybody.  Mea Culpa.  According to the feedback I’m receiving, you’re angry about the lack of updates.  I get it.

I probably should have posted something but, as promised just before Christmas, I’ve been working feverishly on a plan to redesign the blog. 

Last week, I captured a band of Dwarven cobblers and cookiemakers.  Then, I retrained them to handle blog updates.  You might think it’s a lot of work for nothing, but it really takes the pressure off yours truly.  Besides, in their off-hours I can still force them to bake and repair shoes.  Pure profit!

Not since Gary Coleman starred in “On The Right Track” have little people been used so effectively!

See you back here Monday, with new content and, God willing, a new look.

Stay tuned….

Elton John dropped a bombshell the other day when he exposed Jesus Crist’s homosexual ways. Now Catholics are mad, the church is mad, and John, a man who once called for a world government to ban all organized religion, is in the hotseat once again.

Check out my thoughts on the matter at the DailyCaller.

Impeach Obama Billboard B’gosh

alg_billboard_impeach-obama

There’s a new “impeach Obama” billboard up on Highway 41 in Winebago County, Wisconsin.

 Buzzword alert, it’s being called “controversial.”  Ooooooh.

Paid for by an area attorney, the advertisement will stay up for half a year at a cost of $1,000 per month.

Democrats are calling the fee a ”waste of money.” 

They must be right, because if anyone can recognize what it looks like when someone wastes money, it’s a Democrat.

Check out my newest op-ed over at The Daily Caller.  It deals with the fact that, since Democrats are refusing to learn from Brown’s Massachusetts win, Republicans had better.

God help them if their momentum continues, and they don’t see the lessons inherent in the Massachusetts election.

Obama Heading For Massachusetts

15492

Obama just announced that he’s heading to Massachusetts this weekend to campaign for Coakley.

Here’s hoping he can provide the same “kiss of death” he gave Virginia and New Jersey last November.

If Brown is smart, he’ll use the presedential visit to remind voters of everything they’ve hated about the last year.

Remember, Massachusetts, if you’re part of the 30% that wants health care reform, Coakley’s your gal!
