If this economic crisis deepens or we have a major geopolitical event, I would not be surprised to see Obama removed from office -- by Democrats.

Anyone seen Hillary and Bubba lately? 8)

Funny how our little professor is the only foreign leader bowing at the waist -- like a true supplicant.

Yeah, the leaders this crowd admires the most, Mao, Lenin, and Chavez, would be far more decisive. 8)

But cut the little professor some slack, he's still waiting for a few staffers to turn in their term papers on the Afghanistan assignment. He'll grade them over the holiday break, and then maybe we'll get a decision.

LOL

Yes, that's a real tough one to noodle out. The dumb masses who are generally irresponsible, get into more serious accidents, are more often victims of violent crimes, and take overdoses of dangerous drugs, all of which leads them to an ER where they end up dying. Oh yeah, most of them can't be bothered to have health insurance, so that must be the cause of their bad choices and loutish behavior. Straight, +1 correlation. I'll bet if you try real hard, you could even find a way to blame it on George Bush.

Shocked, I'm shocked I tell you! We need a Congressional investigation and the first witness should be Jim Anchower.

When you step back and look at this reform legislation, the players and punch lines read like a SNL skit.

1) President Obama is the champion for "reform", but he let Nancy Pelosi and a gaggle of lobbyists write the details of the law. If Obama had to sit down and take a pop quiz on the contents of his reform bill -- he'd flunk! No one actually knows or understands what this mess of laws does!

2) When all is said and done, taxpayers will spend $2-$3 trillion dollars, and yet we will have the same number of uninsured Americans as before. Only in Washington D.C. could a plan like this be seen as "progress".

3) The mandates imposed on businesses will result in immediate job losses because unlike the federal government, businesses can't just print the money they need to pay their bills. Estimates for the job losses due to this mandate range from 8 to 13 million. Who will pay for this burden on the country? (a rhetorical question -- we all know the answer)

4) Ambulance-chaser lawyers are drooling because they know this bill clears away existing limits on damage claims in the few states that have them, and extends the exemption forever! This makes sense how? Oh that's right, the trial lawyers gave lots of money to Obama and Congress. No quid pro quo there...

If this bill passes and Obama signs it, I predict booming sales for one area of the economy:

Now that she has identified her profession for all to see, all that's left to do is to dicker over the price of the trick.

There is a huge disconnect between the America outside the beltways of major cities, and the ruling elites that live inside those insular conclaves. Everything was fine as long as those Americans living in the "red" places were excluded from the discourse of decision making. Yes, they could plod along in their day jobs, keep the trains running, and work the farms and factories, but they had better leave the important task of governing to people who earned their stripes at the correct schools and who clawed and scratched and networked their way to highly-paid jobs in media or leadership. Clever politicians pay lip service to this "other" America, and from time to time they trow it a bone with feigned town-hall meetings and similar feel good events. They do what's needed to get reelected and then go back to the club in D.C.

Palin is hated by the elites because she resonates with the America that most of them (especially liberals) despise. They see her as an interloper, and try to magnify her numerous faults in shrill, almost hysterical rants that expose their own insecurities. David Brooks is a good example. He writes books that few people read and as a result, he has to prostrate himself at numerous events and make the rounds as a talking head just to make sure the book sales cover his advance. When a pseudo-political figure like Palin comes along and sells more books in one day than he manages to do in five years, he is angry at this outsider's success. Slap-down time, but disguised as intelectual "concern".

Liberal women seem to have a visceral/hormonal reaction to Palin, and IMO it involves her obvious attractiveness and modest successes in life. These women are crazy jealous, but they cannot express this emotion because it will hurt their credibility as members of the elite. Instead, they contrive other reasons to dismiss and diminish Palin. Palin, the neophyte, played right into their hands last year, but I see that lately she has become more adept at parrying with the media bitches.

Sarah Palin will make a lot of money from her book tour, and I say good for her. IMO she should take the money and run, before the bullets start flying in the coming storms.

Elephant? Comrade, that's not an elephant, you are hallucinating. Are you feeling OK? Perhaps you need to see a doctor, come with us, we'll take you to a place where you can get the help you need...

The guy was a loser before he enlisted, and it looks like the best efforts of the Navy didn't change him much. For every story like his, there are ten with a better outcome.

Great! Posters, we need some attractive, colorful posters with these messages for the children:

Debt is Wealth
Freedom is Slavery
War is Peace
Ignorance is Strength.
