By Dan Miller The headline in this article in the Washington Post opinion section characterizes Attorney General Holder as President Obama’s albatross and then lists some of General Holder’s missteps, some political and some more substantive. The bottom line is that he is grossly incompetent. Some of the comments appended to the article are interesting. [...]

By Dan Miller In a long anticipated announcement, the Federal Insect Board (FIB) today proclaimed that the Culex Mosquito is an endangered species. Since the Culex are small and difficult for lay-persons to distinguish from other types of mosquito, urgent steps are being taken to prevent the killing of all mosquitoes. In a related development, [...]

By Richard D. Bailey He promised “Change.” In 2008, with a brilliant strategy, Clinton/Bush fatigue, an aspirational biography and a natural grace and eloquence before adoring crowds that brought the media world and popular culture to wistful, teary longings for the time of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Barack Obama mastered the moment and [...]

By Dan Miller During a campaign appearance in North Carolina today, President Obama brought his appeal for passage of the Save Obama Bill (SOB) down to the basics, shouting to the gathered multitude “if you love me you’ve got to clap your hands help me pass this bill.” How on Earth could any reasonable person [...]

By Dan Miller Let’s find out what’s in it before it is voted on. The Save Obama Bill (SOB) is 155 single spaced pages in length and has more cross references to, and would make more changes in, previously enacted legislation than I could conveniently count. It was obviously a long time in gestation, President [...]

By Dan Miller These novel ideas are all workable and truly bipartisan; they should appeal to libruls and conservatives alike. The country needs productive jobs, not counter-productive jobs. During his bus tour of the hinterlands aboard a new $1.1 million bus made in Canada (“the perfect coach for entertainers, sports stars, NASCAR drivers, executive travel, [...]

By Dan Miller A stupendous Venezuelan medical discovery has been announced; this may be a result of the marvels of Cuban medicine as well. The discovery of a previously unsuspected connection between the brain and the knee has reached us via no less an authority than Venezuela’s long suffering el Presidente Chávez, whose knee problems [...]

By Nancy Morgan Accusing someone of lying is a serious matter. Especially when that someone is the President of the United States. Charges of that nature should be leveled based only on absolute proof of a deliberate statement, intentionally made, whose sole purpose is to deceive. Based on this criteria, President Obama is a liar. [...]

By Dan Miller Various reliable White House sources, under threat of suicide should they make it public in advance of delivery, have provided the following text of the address President Obama will soon deliver at Ground Zero. Due to the obvious sensitivities, we have placed the president’s remarks after the jump. If you believe you [...]

By Tom Carter I listen to Rush Limbaugh now and then, just as I sample the likes of Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. It’s interesting to hear what they have to say, given that they and talkers like them reflect — or guide — political thinking on the left and right. For that reason, I [...]

By Dan Miller Although not widely reported, President Obama has finally changed his name to Barrack T. Obama. The “T” is for Transparent, more au courant than the previously used “H” standing for Humble. This happened during an undisclosed ceremony held across the street from the White House shortly after BTO received a major transparency [...]

By Dan Miller On April 3rd, the United States will cease most Libya related kinetic military action unless somebody in NATO asks for more. It has not yet been decided whether to supply arms to the rebels there. They may have depleted their supplies by shooting into the air; they were either celebrating something, made a [...]

By Dan Miller The meanings of words change over time. “Gentleman” once meant a person privy to the person of the king; eventually, it meant a man of wealth and station; now, it adorns the entrance to a toilet intended for males. This devolution has done no noticeable harm. However, “liberal” — Thomas Jefferson was [...]

By Dan Miller Not even ObamaCare can cover the harm the president has done to national health. President Obama is driving a badly maintained car with defective brakes, no steering wheel and a stuck accelerator; he can’t see the cliff up ahead because it’s night and the headlights are broken too. He is in trouble. [...]
