Bunch of new awards annouced

This on the heels of the stunning announcement that The Messiah won the Nobel Peace Prize.

• Young Billy Prescott, who just entered Our Savior of Perpetual Hope Middle School. Billy has been voted class Valedictorian of the Class of 2015. The award was given based on Billy's commitment to ace all of his classes for the next 6 years. For the Record - to date, Billy has never aced a single class - no matter - he intends to from now on.
  
• Swana Williams, Freshman at the New York Film School. Swana has been awarded an Oscar for the stunning movie which she intents to Produce and Direct after she graduates from film school. It was stated that her intention to BOTH Produce AND Direct the yet to be written film was what clinched the Oscar.
  
• Emily Yankovich, aspiring blogger. Emily was given the coveted Pulitzer price for the hard hitting expose she hopes to write on her blog uncovering massive corruption. She is not sure WHERE the corruption will be, but she sure as hell intends to find out. The committee said the fact that she has yet to actually start her blog was not a barrier to her winning. In fact, they said it clinched the prize for her. They wanted to do all they could to encourage to actually write the damned thing.
  

On a personal note, I am lobbying the Ohio Lottery Commission to issue me the One Million Dollar winning check for the winning lottery ticket that I intend to buy next near.

Sound silly? It is only silly because you are not Barack Hussein Obama...mmm mmm mmm.

The Scapegoat has landed

No one has talked about closing Guantanamo Bay prison lately.

To refresh your memory. Back early this year - The Annointed One promised to close Club Gitmo by the end of the year. This was strictly a political decision. It was not rooted in any rational set of facts. The White House (Obama) had zero idea of how to actually do it. There was no thought of the real world implications of such a decision. Like - what the hell will we do with all the terrorists housed there?

Obama hoped, since the world loved him so, that other countries would take the bad guys. Ok - we palmed a few off - but our 'allies' around the world said 'nope'. We can't bring them here - because to do so would impart all kinds of criminal rights on what are actually enemy combatants. Plus, the congress refused to give Obama the money to do it if it meant bringing the terrorists here.

So, what to do? I know - let's find a scapegoat to blame the failure on. The narrative will be 'we really wanted to do this. But, the guy we gave the job to screwed it up soo badly, that we are going to miss the deadline.

According to this article, we have identified the scapegoat. Please meet Greg Craig. He is the soon-to-be-ex Chief White House lawyer for Obama.

The White House is getting ready to lay the whole mess at Craig's feet. He will be the excuse for the failure.

This, of course is a deep, stinking, gaseous pile of BS.

The root cause - the stunningly naive decision to announce a date certain to close Gitmo with ZERO idea as to how to do it.

Now, yet another American is sacrifice at the alter of the Annointed One's hubris.

Senate Democrat: Health Care Bill is 'Gibberish'

This is truly disheartening. There is a Senator(D) on the Senate Finance Committee named Thomas Carper. I haven't used this term in quite a while - but, today, I feel compelled to do so. Carper is an ass-clown from Delaware. What, you might asked, makes him an ass-clown?

Well, in this report of an interview he said:

• that he does not “expect” to read the actual legislative language of the committee’s health care bill
  
• He said the bill would be 'confusing'
  
• He call the language in the bill 'arcane,' 'confusing,' 'hard stuff to understand,' and 'incomprehensible.'
  
• He likened it to Credit Card disclosure forms (mandated, as it turns out, by congress
  
• Called the language 'gibberish'.
  
• On a somewhat more positive note, he said he would "probably" read the "plain English version" of the bill as opposed to the actual text.
  

Ok - color me totally appalled!!

This is the situation. Someone, we don't know who, will draft the actual language of the bill. This language is too hard for Carper to understand. So, someone (don't know if it is the same someone who wrote the bill) will draft a 'plain English' version of the bill. So that Carper might understand it - since he will 'probably' read it! Are you freaking kidding me?

He is ON the committee writing the law. Who the hell is the actual 'someone' that is drafting the language? And, how do we know that the 'plain English' version actually reflects what the bill says?

Question 1: Why do we have a senator too dumb to understand the bills his committee produces?
Question 2: Who makes sure the 'plain English' version is accurate?
Question 3: How will he be able to make a case for the bill, or answer ANY questions about it, since he already admits he won't (can't) read it?
Question 4: Can we meet and talk to the person that actually drafted the language?
Question 5: Can we have 'that guy' as our Senator instead?

And people wonder why we don't trust government anymore????

Global Bitch Slap

Well - in case you were wondering about the world's love of Obama - that has been answered. The world has spoken - and gave him a total bitch slap.

He (and Michelle) went to Denmark to pitch the International Olympic Committee on the idea of Chicago hosting the 2016 Olympics. Not only did Chicago get rejected - they were the FIRST ones rejected. Epic FAIL.

Why did this happen? My opinion? Well, he has spent the last 6 months going around the world apologizing for the United States. He has said we are too arrogant. He has said that we have been bad world citizen. He said we are selfish, that we consume too much, that we give back too little. He tried to tell the world to implement reforms that he could not even get done here.

He ignored the good we have done. Ignored the 10s of thousands of people that we have liberated. Ignored the billions we give in foreign aid. Ignored the relief efforts we spearheaded. Ignored the billion plus a year that we give to the UN.

Beyond that - Obama made the pitch in Copenhagen too much about HIM. He said he wanted to takes his wife and kids to the Olympics in his old home town. Michelle told some personal stories about her family history and tried to relate them to sports.

They did not make it about the greatness of America. Ignored the huge positive impact we have had in the world. Ignored American exceptionalism. He made it about HIM. He made it personal.

Net result - Global bitch slap. Apparently the world is NOT impressed with him.

I am sorry the US did not get the Olympics. I am more sorry the he exposed, even further, the weakness that he is portraying.

So, in addition to his trying to take over the economy, quadrupling our deficit, taking over health care, running the banks, taking over the car companies, dictating executive compensation, weakening our defenses, apologizing for us all over the globe, standing idly by while North Korea nukes us, standing idly by while Iran nukes up, stalling on General McCrystal's request for more troops in Afghanistan, screwing Poland and the Czech Republic over their missile defense ... we can add to it screwing up the Olympics. It has been an awesome 9 months.

To be totally fair - Chicago may have been doomed no matter what. It has only been 12 years since the US hosted the Games. But - and this is a big but. Obama did this. He made the trip. He made it about HIM. HE put HIS reputation on the line. If Chicago had won, he would have been more than happy to take the credit. So, when it tanks...

The big losers here? The prestige of the United States. The city of Chicago. The UNIONS in Chicago. The UNIONS in Chicago. The UNIONS in Chicago. The UNIONS in Chicago. And lastly - The Messiah has egg on his face.

Oh yippee.... How is that change working out for you now?
