Press a tool of demotard Obama

Surveys show that members of the TV and print press are 85% Democrat (based on political contributions), but this Politico story shows what we're really dealing with. For instance, Obama waited almost a year to visit New Orleans to discuss Katrina matters, stayed only four hours, then continued on to a $3 million fundraiser. The press yawned.

Oba-mao afraid of Afghanistan

Obama knows what he needs to do -- step up the fight in Afghanistan if there's any chance of developing a successful democracy. Yet, he's anti-war and, as a liberal, a coward. I think this is why he's afraid to make a decision. His base of cowards want him to do one thing, nearly everyone who knows anything about war and military matters want him to do another. My guess is he'll eventually agree to a small increase, with a lot of time limits and the like. He's going to try to please everyone rather than lead -- this is a hallmark of liberal administrations. AP:

Obama is nearing a decision on whether to commit large numbers of additional troops to the war next year. His top military commander in Afghanistan favors an increase of roughly 40,000, officials have told The Associated Press, which would allow the U.S. military to expand its reach in areas of the country's south and east now under Taliban sway.

Still more 'climate change' nonsense

The Washington Post is pushing more 'climate change' hysteria with a story titled "Ailing planet seen as bad for human health".

Climate change will make Americans more vulnerable to diseases, disasters and heat waves, but governments have done little to plan for the added burden on the health system, according to a new study by a nonprofit group.

Hmmmm. The planet has been warming since the last Ice Age receded, some 12,000 years ago. In that time, the life expectancy of humans has gone from 30 to 80. Now, when commies, globalists, and anti-industrialists (what's the difference these days?) want to revert us to a life of hunting and gathering, it becomes a big problem.

Idiots, idiots, idiots.

New blog linked on sidebar

I've added a blog to my roll for the first time in a long while. It's Skin Flicks. The author describes himself like this:

Very angry, about lots of things. Not quite angry enough to stop taking it anymore, but nearly that angry.

That's worthy.

Bloomberg buying mayorship

Bloomberg has spent $85 million of his own money so far during the campaign for NYC mayor. He'll almost certainly win because human beings are stupid. Reuters:

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has spent more of his own money in pursuit of public office than any other individual in U.S. history, spending $85 million as of Friday on his latest reelection campaign, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

If a baboon spent $86 million, Bloomberg would soon be giving a concession speech to a chapped ass.

Ted Kennedy

Ted Kennedy has been sober for four weeks now. We could bury the pin next to him.

Anti-smoking nazis can !@#$ off

I was glad to see that Michael Jordan lit a stogie at a public park where, unbelievably, it's illegal to smoke. From AP:

But when city officials saw a picture of Jordan in the San Francisco Chronicle toking on his stogie, they were quick to remind the PGA Tour that Harding Park is a city property and smoking is not allowed.

"You mean about Spare the Air Jordan?" Recreation and Park general manager Phil Ginsburg told the newspaper. "I've already sent off an e-mail to the PGA Tour director. It was sort of a gentle nudge reminding them that smoking is illegal, and that we would appreciate their support."

Do the zealots refuse to get near a street or highway? These are, after all, corridors of carbon monoxide and other dangerous pollutants. Do they refuse to barbeque, because grilling produces deadly gases, too. How about a fire in the hearth?

When I see these dimwits boycotting (and complaining like little bitches) about all these other popular forms of air pollution, then I'll take notice of the screeching against smoking.

Besides, there's nothing like lighting up after porking a young tart. Maybe the anti-smoking zealots aren't able to knock off a chunk?

Bubba Clinton's legacy

Bubba's cowardly policy in Somalia -- running away after US forces sustained very small losses -- is still yielding results: another ship was attacked by Somali pirates, this time a French warship. The pirates mistook the French naval vessel for a cargo ship, which actually says more about the French navy than the pirates. From AFP:

This was not the first time that Somali pirates have mistakenly attacked a French naval vessel. Several pirates were captured in May when they attempted to board a frigate in the area.

America's two issues

We only have two problems, and this short list doesn't include health care, climate change, or anything else on the socialist wish list.

1. Deficit spending. We need to amend the constitution to forbid deficit spending except in times of emergency, and such times need to be clearly laid out with no loopholes -- because politicians can find loopholes the way a hound can sniff out its quarry. An amendment calling for the end of deficit spending can't be vague, the way some of the other amendments are.

In my book, deficit spending without a genuine emergency is treason. Unfortunately, the definition of treason doesn't account for this practice, though it causes irreparable harm to the U.S.

2. Energy independence. Don't confuse this with green energy. Independence is more important than the form the energy takes; if it's safe and renewable, that's a bonus, but not a requirement. Remember the wake-up call we got a couple of years ago, when gas zoomed to over $4 per gallon? We should have been drilling everywhere oil could be found. What have we done? Nothing at all.

I will not vote for any federal politician who doesn't clearly articulate that these two issues are the most important problems facing the nation, and convince me he's not lying just to get votes.
