THE DELUSIONAL ARROGANCE OF OUR DISINGENUOUS BOY KING IS TRULY AMAZING I’m sure most of you have heard by now that Lord Obama recently told Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes that he considered himself to be the fourth best president in history of the Union.

From James Taranto’s “Best of the Web”:
Fox News, meanwhile, reports on an effort to push nanny-statism even further: “Gov. Dan Malloy has declared Thursday ‘Diaper Need Awareness Day’ as part of a campaign by The Nutmeg State to pressure Washington into providing free diapers to low-income families.” Rep. Rosa DeLauro, like Malloy a Connecticut Democrat, is pushing legislation that “would allow Uncle Sam to . . . provide funding for diapers and diaper supplies.”
Maybe Obama should take it one step further and ask Congress to create a new cabinet-level Department of Infant Care to provide free diapers to all Americans. (Would that include the elderly? Depends.) It would certainly resonate with his 2008 campaign theme of “change.”

I would not normally waste my time writing about someone as insignificant as Janeane Garofalo - much less whatever she thinks about anything. However, I couldn’t resist the temptation this time; her latest pathetic theory represents the worst of left-wing faux-intellectualism; it is indicative of how far into the gutter liberalism in America has fallen.
I’m not saying our pal Janeane is nuts – but she makes Bill Maher look rational. Hell, she makes Sheila Jackson Lee look like a race-baiting novice. Al Sharpton couldn’t carry her jockstrap…

An In-depth Analysis of Lieberman’s Cybersecurity Bill 2011: Giving Birth to Big Brother.
After reading the revamped Cyber Security Bill 2011 sponsored by Joe Lieberman (co-sponsored by Senators Rockefeller*, Snowe, Collins, Lieberman & Carper) , shock and anger quickly set in. While the nation has been watching endless news stories about our congressmen quibbling over a measly two trillion dollars, Senator Lieberman has been silently slipping the most treacherous, deceitful & manipulative bill ever created through the Senate. When Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (SCHSGA), first proposed the earlier version of the bill (Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010, S.3480), critics slammed him and it for being too broad in scope and for including a ‘kill switch’ for the Internet- so reminiscent of Hosni Mubarak’s during the Egyptian uprising. Lieberman blithely brushed criticism aside, rejected the idea of a ‘kill switch’ and claimed that… continue reading…

Today’s daily digest had two articles presenting the FDA’s case that regulating medical apps is a good idea and they should do this. They can be found here and here.
Since the FDA routinely approves drugs that have to be recalled due to patient deaths – this is stuff that goes in the body and is digested – and allows the seed producers of genetically modified grains such as soybeans (that would be Monsanto) to police themselves and does not require animal testing on the crops even when genes are added to the seed – also, something that is digested – what makes FDA officials think that regulating mobile medical apps is a trustworthy endeavor for them?

QUESTION: Can an increase in the unemployment 
rate be viewed as positive proof that Barack Obama’s “stimulus” package has worked?
ANSWER: Of course it can. On Planet Obama, that is. Just three days after the Labor Department announced that unemployment rose to 9.2% in June, Obama said that the loss of more jobs proved that his $830 billion “stimulus” plan worked.
“Now, without re-litigating the past, I am absolutely convinced and the vast majority of economists are convinced that the steps we took in the recovery act saved millions of people their jobs, or created a whole bunch of jobs. And, part of the evidence of that, as you see instances of the recovery act phasing out.”

A RATHER TIMELY POST FROM A FELLOW-SCRIBE AT RED COUNTY
While liberals and their sock puppets in the media may be celebrating New York’s new gay marriage law, a clear majority of Americans are not. Don’t tell anyone though, we’re not supposed to know. It’s kinda like that whole separation of church and state thing: HUSH!
Since the mid-1980s, activist groups have engaged in a concerted effort to impose acceptance of homosexual behavior on the American people. The goal has been to overwhelm the American psyche with a seemingly ubiquitous cultural conversation about the subject and a precise, predetermined portrayal of those who engage in homosexual behavior as happy and carefree (a.k.a. “gay”) in movies and on television. Through these and other means, millions upon hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to propagandize Americans and persuade us that homosexual behavior is normal and that opposition to it is antiquated and indicative of ignorance, rather than intelligence.
Click Red County for the remainder of the article.
If you are uninitiated, this might seem a little illogical. Liberals advocating extreme freedom from decency (gay marriage, gay adoption, killing of viable fetuses) and yet, allowing the Man into people’s private data. But for those in the know, we understand the plan very well. read on..

THE LEFT’S PATHETIC OBSESSION WITH SARAH PALIN IS HYSTERICAL
Pity the poor “mainstream” media – or the
Obama Media Group, as I like to call it. First it was Sarah Palin’s bus tour, and her in-your-face refusal to afford the indignant liberal press the respect they demand of her – as if they deserve it, given the way they have skewered her and her family, including her Down Syndrome son, Trig.
The Obama Media Group’s latest attempt at “gotcha” with Palin has blown up in their sniveling little faces as well. They just can’t seem to win with the imbecile from Wasilla anymore, can they? What are they to do?

CAN AN ACTION FIGURE BE FAR BEHIND?
Hillary Rodham Clinton. There
was a time, in a not-so-distant land, when those three words struck fear in the hearts of good conservatives across the fruited plain. Yes, my fellow Americans, the mere mention of the name “Hillary Rodham Clinton” was enough to send otherwise level-headed Republicans running for the hills – clutching their wallets with all their might.
Fear was in the land.
HillaryCare -a force so sinister in its nature – dare I say -it shook this great nation to its very core. A plan so diabolical in intent – it threatened the survival of this Republic, for which we stand. Only after an epic battle between good and evil, was sanity restored to this place we call America.
My oh my, how times have changed. If Darth Vader can become a good guy in the end, I suppose Hillary Rodham Clinton can too – particularly when you consider the dark forces around her. Spooky stuff indeed.
“Political Power: Hillary Clinton,“ from Bluewater Productions, hits the newsstands today. Oh – and it’s a comic book. Actually, it’s the second Hillary Clinton comic book from Bluewater. (The first of which is displayed above.) The irony is not lost here folks – nor is the myriad of possible plots running through my brain as I write. Pantsuit Woman (my choice of names, in the event that an action figure follows) is just too good to be true.
While the first comic book, “Female Force: Hillary Clinton” focused on Pantsuit Woman’s beginnings – although it failed to reveal what planet she’s from – this issue will focus on the events that led to her rise to power on Planet Obama.
Bluewater writer Jerome Maida says the new comic delves into the behind-the-scenes events that led Pantsuit Woman to take a young Luke Skywalker Barack Obama under her wing – and how she played a crucial role in the ascendancy of Lord Obama. Maida calls it a “fascinating story.”

What? Was he serious? Has Barack Obama secretly quit the Democratic party with plans of running for reelection as a Republican?

NATO have given a picture-perfect representation as to why they cannot and should never have been trusted in leading air raids against Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi’s government.

It is far better that they pack their bags and go home rather than try to impress fellow Euro-weenies and play soldier.

In related news, the White House also announced that in the coming weeks, Obama will warn Japan of the potential danger to its nuclear plants in the event of an earthquake, sweeten Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, and lock the barn door after the horse has bolted.

THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE MESSAGE ONCE AGAIN In a recent post on the budget fight, I wrote of the Democrats’ historical ability to win the war of words in Wahington; and therefore, control the debate. It’s been that way since Ronald Reagan jetted off to California. Their latest effort is impressive indeed; Democrats and their [...]

WORLD EDITOR DISPLAYS HIS IGNORANCE OF CHRISTIANITY – According to Time Magazine editor Bobby Ghosh, burning the Koran is “much more inflammatory than burning the Bible” because the Koran comes directly from God and the Bible doesn’t. Appearing on MSNBC’s Hardball, (where else?) Ghosh continued to display his ignorance of Christianity: “The Bible is a book written [...]

You might want to rethink that trip to New Guinea – Remember the Beef Industry Council’s advertising campaign several years ago featuring the Sam Elliott voice-over? “Beef, it’s what’s Dinner.” Loved that. Usually made the Rat hungry too. If you’re planning your own little National Geographic type safari to the jungles of Papau New Guinea anytime [...]

MEDIA EXCLUDED, EVENT NOT ON PRESIDENT’S SCHEDULE The honors and awards continue to pile up for Captain Awesome. Yesterday he received the “coveted” Transparency Award – in secrecy. The “lavish ceremony” was scheduled to occur two weeks ago but was cancelled by the White House without explanation. While the original event was not intended to [...]
From Cal Thomas over at Real Clear Politics:
If there were an award for stating the obvious when it comes to the Middle East, it would go to the New York Times. On its front page last Friday, the newspaper ran a story headlined, “Islamist Group is Rising Force in New Egypt.”
What group would that be? Why, the Muslim Brotherhood, of course. We have been repeatedly assured by certain pundits and members of the Obama administration that the Brotherhood are a small minority with no major influence in Egypt.
Read the rest of the article here. The NYT are shockingly ignorant sometimes.

**UPDATE** The Rat based this post on a story in the Washington Times which was later reported to have misquoted Samantha Power. Rat originally intended to remove the article as a result. On second thought, he decided to leave it up based on Ms. Power’s continuing claim that the president invented the internet and is [...]
Hypocritical? The same organization who lied about ties to Saddam Hussein in order to maintain a bureau office in Baghdad? Nah!
I’m very curious to see how this play out. Will Nic Robertson and CNN be vindicated, or have they been outed as tools of a dictator? Time well tell.

COMMANDER AWESOME TELLS MINIONS: “WE’VE DELIVERED CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN” – The world burns while Barrack Obama looks for a fiddle. The Middle East is aflame. Elected officials in two states went AWOL as union thugs attacked opponents across the country. Japan teeters on the brink of disaster unseen since WWII. An obscene deficit [...]
European politicians have always been considered something of a joke, and it’s certainly been so the last 60 or so years. For every Churchill or de Gaulle, you have a van Rumpuy or Baroness Ashton who come off looking embarrassing to the eyes of Americans interested enough to eyeball Euro-politics.
The Daily Mail writes more on the embarrassment that is Baroness Ashton here.

THE “REST OF THE STORY” IS JUST AS RIDICULOUS One of our favorite socialists is at it again: The corpulent anti-capitalist, (and very rich) Michael Moore visited state-run MSNBC for another rant against wealth in America last night. Not content to simply rage against the breaking news in Wisconsin, our portly pal proclaimed that Oprah [...]

In a partnership made in liberal heaven, the left-wing blog Daily Kos and the Service Employees International Union have announced that they will join together to measure Barrack Obama’s approval ratings and favorable polling numbers every week. Seriously. Obviously unhappy with honest, legitimate polling numbers, Kos publisher Markos Moulitsas said, “Daily Kos is committed to [...]
Is it midnight Jesse, or did everyone else head for the exits?
I often comment that when it comes to the left, there is no amount of ineptitude, irrationality, absurdity, idiocy, silliness, gall, or bull crap that surprises me anymore.
I stand corrected.
Jesse Jackson Jr. says that the Constitution of the United States of America should guarantee every “ghetto or barrio” student the right to an iPod and a laptop.
Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
It appears that he either made these comments on the House Floor at midnight, or everyone else got an advance copy of his speech and headed for the exits. I bet the lone guy who stayed behind was praying that he wasn’t in the video.
Considering Junior’s lineage, should we be surprised?

Well, first of all, Newt is in, or well maybe, we’re not really sure. But he’s got a new website to add to the myriad of sites, foundations, PAC’s and the like that make up Newt Inc. How he’ll do in a crowded primary is anyone’s guess, but like Palin, he doesn’t really appeal to [...]
Scum they may be, but the 1st Amendment is there to protect trash like this. One never knows when that trash may be you.
Saying that Muammar Gadhafi 
“has lost the confidence of his people,” (ya think?) the White House announced “sweeping unilateral sanctions” against the dictator’s regime today. Obama’s press secretary, Jay Carney explained that the following “crippling measures” will go into effect “more or less” immediately:
Gadhafi must refrain from blaming the United States and al Qaeda for the Libyan uprising IN THE SAME SENTENCE. Beginning immediately, the colonel must only accuse one or the other at a time. Carney explained that since left-wing pundits have started to refer to Obama as an “Arabist,” the continued linkage of America and al Qaeda by Gadhafi has become “very problematic” for the president’s relationship with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Gadhafi must immediately cease using fighter jets to conduct air strikes against protesters. The White House warned that “collateral damage” which may be caused by pilots ejecting from their planes (rather than obeying orders to strafe innocent civilians) could endanger the Libyan ecosystem. Carney said that Libyan jets will still be allowed to “fly low and scare people” as long as pilots are not ordered to fire their weapons. In a concession to Gadhafi, a maximum of two helicopter gunships may be used per protest, as long as weaponry is limited to machine guns vs. rockets or cluster bombs. Carney indicated that this was a “hard-fought compromise,” of which the president is “particularly proud.”
Gadhafi must immediately retract the statement he made to the UN General Assembly: “We are content and happy if Obama can stay forever as president of the United States.” While promising that Gadhafi and Obama “can remain pals discretely,” Carney explained that the president’s other pals, the Muslim Brotherhood have complained that they find the president’s relationship with Muammar “off-putting.”
Gadhafi will no longer be allowed to blow up American airliners. Violation of this sanction will result in a “stern warning” from Obama NOT to do it again, which will come nine days after a “protracted period of international deliberation in an effort to exhaust all other options” before blaming Gadhafi directly.
Carney further warned that if Gadhafi violates “two or more” of these sanctions, Obama would have no other choice than to beg the United Nations and the European Union to say “nana nana boo boo” to the colonel on live television. In a final concession to the Libyan strongman, the press secretary explained that the president will give Muammar a 180-day “grace period” to “carefully weigh the gravity of these crippling sanctions” before he stops murdering the people of Libya.
In the past three years I have seen more comments comparing political statesmen to Adolf Hitler than I can count. For a split second I asked myself why, but then remembered an article I read almost 13 years ago that has stayed with me – and with the internet (on it’s original page, no less) to this day. The article was entitled “How to Argue Effectively” and can be found here .
What’s interesting to me is that invoking hitler is mentioned – but it is mentioned as the last resort, the big guns, the end all, be all finisher of arguments. And while the article itself may be satirical in nature, it is evident to me that the latest round of comparisons to Hitler is just that – a last ditch effort at winning an argument destined to fail.

Like Socrates, I am often accused of corrupting minds – in this case though it’s generally older minds, not younger – as I adjunct teach a computer class at a local university. Part of the final exam includes a “what I have learned” portion. It is by far my favorite part of the class for many reasons. Quotes like this are just one.
The last part of our class was about how to use Power Point. I have never used Power Point before but I think I will defiantly use it in the future.
Defiant use of power point is what I am all about people. Bring the defiance. Of course, if they were really defiant, they wouldn’t be using Power Point at all, but that’s another story.
