Assortment

1) Don Surber has some excellent analogies to the Democratic oil plan.

2) An interesting series showing the evolution of Obama’s new poster.

3) The Republican National Convention has also been targeted for disruption, by the Students for a Democratic [sic] Society. The SDS had its origins in the 1960’s as an anti-war group, and now styles itself as an anarchist organization (i.e., a “movement” consisting mostly of college-age kids who have decided to justify their aversion to the classroom, and the destruction of their parents’ hopes and dreams – and, no doubt, a significant portion of the folks’ life savings - by cloaking their juvenile resentments and bone-idle disposition in “political relevance”). As readers may recall, I witnessed a group of these idiots protesting near my building a few weeks ago. Their encounter with the police came off predictably (a handful of bored cops held them at bay until they got out of line, then the police stomped a couple of them and the rest withdrew in considerable disorder).

4) C’mon! Russia invades Georgia? You knew it had to be this guy’s fault.

5) No offense to Canada intended (not by me, anyway), but Shadowlands has a lol take on the country’s unfortunate dearth of victories in the Olympics.

6) Coming this fall on Messiah TV: Hawaii Jive-O


7) From his earlier days in Hawaii, here is a picture of the young Barack Obama. He has just had a close brush with the law:

Judge: Alright, young man, I’m going to let you off easy, this time, but if the police ever catch you with any more weed, I’ll throw the book at you.

Obama: Oh, you don’t have to worry about that, your Honor! No more weed for this future president of the United States!

Just foolin’ That’s actually Obama’s prep school graduation picture, and the vegetation hanging around his neck is a lei.
