We’re not going to a tea party; mostly because we have jobs, and also because I think they’re both great, and ineffective. Great, because it’s amazing that so many people are making it known publicly that they don’t want to have their freedoms abridged, and more of their money stolen from them. Ineffective because basically [...]

…is how this headline reads.  Here are a few of the sordid details: Washington, D.C., April 1 — U.S. President Barack Obama has resigned after confessing to treason. Obama named his co-conspirators and the FBI has taken all but one into custody in undisclosed locations. Obama told FBI investigators that his primary co-conspirators were Bill [...]

Since it appears that a whole lot of people are going to engaged in one of the two manifestations I previously identified as “Going Galt” this April 15th, perhaps it’s time for some additional perspective on the process.  Jerome Tuccille wrote It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand, which he followed with It Still Begins with [...]

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao: “President Obama and his new government have adopted a series of measures to deal with the financial crisis. We have expectations as to the effects of these measures,” Mr. Wen said. “We have lent a huge amount of money to the U.S. Of course we are concerned about the safety [...]

Well, something like this, anyway :-) (language NSFW) The New F***ing Citibank – watch more funny videos

In 2009 America, do we get back on top through hard work and preparation, or do we take the Barry Bonds “stimulus package” approach? The Uncler w/ Uncle Sam and Alyssa Milano from Alyssa Milano Hat Tip: The Big Picture

I’ve always enjoyed Jon Stewart. While I don’t agree with him politically, and occasionally some of his more sophomoric bits don’t quite resonate with me, I find his show one of the few enjoyable “news-ish” shows on TV. In fact, after Dick Cheney shot a friend in the face, on of my first thoughts was [...]

Despite President Obama’s assertion that “Nobody messes with Joe” in his speech before congress on Tuesday, Reason.tv does just that in this video entitled Real Man of Genius: Joe Biden Just when we thought that with Bush being replaced by a virtually “parody proof*” Barack Obama would make life difficult for comedians, satirists, humorists, and [...]

From The Federalist Paupers: Obama is an underpants gnome. Step 1: Win the presidency. Step 3: Be a great president. For the uninitiated, explanation here. Hat Tip: dispatches from TJICistan

Ahh, as a transplant from Chicago, I just got this in an email from my family — who is excited about the move up to 40 degree days this weekend!

Cobb Island, MD, sounds like quite a diverse town: Cobb Island has always attracted a variety of people, from government workers to politicians Reminds me of The Blues Brothers: Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here?

From the USA Today: There’s no more doubt: President Obama says he’s rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday’s Super Bowl. “I wish the (Arizona) Cardinals the best,” the president told reporters at the White House, “but I am a long-time Steelers fan” and a friend of the Rooney family that owns the team. And [...]

From The Austrian Economists: During the inauguration celebration a reporter asked Magic Johnson about President Obama’s plan to replace the White House bowling alley with a White House basketball court and whether or not he will get an invitation to play some hoops with the President. Johnson replied that he would obviously lace up his [...]

Yesterday, I wrote: “Yes, there was a flub-up in the reading of the oath of office. I’m sure some of the tin-foilers out there will also be stating that “Barack isn’t president because he wasn’t officially sworn in” for the next four years.” And so it begins…
