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.

#1 is a classic, and humorous, application of the Conservation Fallacy.

#3 Paco, when they talk of a Democratic society, they mean one controlled entirely to the last detail by Democratic Party Political Operatives.

There is no irony here; they are being straight out and plain about their desire to make the USA a socialist state.

#4 No, actually Billy-the-kid-Clinton gave the Russians the perfect neglige by inventing the "Kosovo Excuse".

Hey, Come On!! I have to take offense to #5 :-)

Well, actually, it appears, terrible as it seems, and as much as it says about the country and society up North here, that Canadians don't actually care.

This is the land that, ever since the '60s and Pierre Trudeau, the Canadian Obama, has been teaching kids that winning is not fair; we are all winners.

It will be a bit disturbing for the Canadian psyche, though, that the Yanks have noticed.

Wimpy: I do, genuinely, wish the Canadians well, but Margo's Maid's vision of Canadians diving for a Swede's discarded medal is pretty funny.

Yes Paco, I agree .. I laughed too.

Those plugging into this strategy will be free to shape their actions as they see fit, using the tactics they consider appropriate. As the specific blockade sites are established, some sites may be designated "red zones" (prepared for self-defense), "yellow zones" (peaceful but assertive), and "green zones" (no risk of arrest) so as to accommodate a wide variety of creative tactics.

What color is the "thump" zone, one wonders?

Paco said...

The "thump zone"! HAW, HAW, HAW!!

Phew, my heart beats faster. All those cute babes, and Canada got a Gold in cutest babe!! Excelent. What does she do?

WC, when you look like that, you shouldn't have to 'do' anything...but she competes in Rhythmic Gymnastics - sort of a modern dance-type thing with ribbon, it looks like. Very fit, very...flexible, very...rhythmic.

I suddenly feel old & frumpy.

What does she do?

Uh......she does something? I hadn't thought about that....
