I heard a new adjective used to describe the Obama inauguration today. Monumental. Is that similar to the Lincoln Memorial monument? Perhaps we can all make an Obama monument right now ... a testament to the Presidency that will be. He has already been crowned the greatest president ever by many followers, fans, and reporters.
Here are some of the adjectives I found in recent news stories about the inauguration:
Historic. Monumental. Surreal. Wonderful. Powerful. Dramatic. Educational. Unexplainable. Magnificent. Remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite is the person who just gave up reaching for that adjective in the sky: "I was just speechless. I don't even have the words to explain the feelings," said Jean Bligen, Principal of the newly renamed Barack Obama Elementary School in Hempstead, Long Island. Seems people there were able to come up with words to rename the school before Obama's Presidency had even begun.

Let's be Fair - Conservatives should just shut up
The Fairness Doctrine. Sounds good, doesn't it? Just, fair, honest, balanced reporting of controversial issues, as decided by the FCC. FCC, PBS, WGN, FOX, NBC, WLS, CBS, EIB. Which acronyms don't belong in entertainment?
"And now, LIVE on the all new, ad-free FCC network, aka the FWYTD network (funded with your tax dollars), a fascinating look at today's news as filtered through your Federal Government." Boy, I don't want to miss that. C-SPAN stand back! This is going to be awesome!
If that's all it was, it would be just another avenue Democrats could use for propaganda, but when you start letting the FCC censor content, you have Socialism, and/or Communism. Case in point - China felt it could rewrite Barack Obama's inaugural speech LINK. That's what Communists do. North Korea told its people that they would have the 1988 Olympics, and the propaganda they launched (and bomb they planted) should not have been surprising. Media run by the State is not the media of the people. It's push media of the worst kind.
But we are actually looking towards media of the State here in the USA and it's being called FAIR. Hospitals, banks, schools ... heck, the State just needs to TAKE OVER because those big bad businesses just can't be trusted. That free market is just so hard to control, isn't it?
The Fairness Doctrine is a typical left-wing misuse of words to make something terrible sound so good. There are plenty of things about our political/electoral system that are not fair. Was it fair to take undocumented pre-paid credit card donations to pump up the donations to Obama's campaign? Was it fair to just leave off 2 major states (FLA and MI) from the Democratic Primaries? Is it fair to make a presidential campaign more about TV commercials, ad spending, and fund raising than any other factor? Is winner take all voting fair?
There's a lot that's not fair. Freedom of the press has not generally been thought of as one of them, although that ideal has since Watergate been used as the excuse the media can use to go after "the establishment" and Republicans, by and large, without disclosing sources. But now that conservative talk radio is popular as it breaks through a left-controlled mainstream media to tell an actual alternate vision and conservative philosophy, it's all about how unfair it is.
Who can trust a Federal government that spends money so greedily and recklessly? At least tigers peek up with their eyes on occasion as they rip into and devour their prey, but the now Democratic-controlled government doesn't even look up as it gorges itself on the taxpayers' money that's all theirs now, unchecked. We don't want these people telling us what's fair.

The Barack Obama Experience
"Aides say he originally planned to select someone with experience..." NYT, 1/5/09
Barack Obama "wanted" to select someone with experience to head the CIA. He really did. And some of us had hoped to select a President with a little as well. Apparently experience is overrated in this current political climate. You don't need it to be the Senator of New York, or the Commander in Chief. Why should you for the head post at the CIA?
When Barack Obama pondered his recent decision to place Leon Panera Bread in charge of the CIA (aka Leon Panetta by inhuman search robots), he chose someone who knows little of the inner workings of the Agency. He has one politically correct viewpoint that he can hang onto relating to torture, and we know how much waterboarding Democrats can inflict upon a President who dares set up a detention and interrogation program to deal with terrorists. No! Let them come! Let them bomb! We can deal with all that later in a court of law, and think of all the evidence we'll have then, torture free!
Obama wanted to select John O. Brennan, but he had been there during that debacle of failed policy that used interrogation as a tool to shut down terrorist activity across America in states such as Deleware and Alaska! For all the times Obama used that catch phrase to help him get elected, how embarrassing would it be to have to select someone who had helped make it all such a success, or... failure, wasn't it? Yeah.
Words are tricky that way. If you start talking on the national stage about the "Great Depression of 2008" in front of millions of illiterate children, you may come to find that people stop buying cars, and stop filling them up as regularly with your tax-burdened fuel. They might start selling off stocks faster than you can say change. But it's too early to start encouraging people to buy into our economy again. Economic improvement won't count for Barack officially until January 20, will it? So let's hold off just a little while longer. Although he has done quite well in his position at the O. of T.P.E., so we might just give him the credit he so richly deserves. (Watch for the movie showing actors depicting their own lives as they struggle to deal with falling mansion values, and cut backs on plastic surgery.)
If all it takes is one strong politically correct viewpoint to snag a position one is otherwise unqualified for, I feel bad for the Supreme Court, as we might see Nancy becoming Justice Pelosi solely on the basis of her positions against Parental Notification and the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

Senate Seat for Sale
Senate Seat for Sale - (sung to the tune of Love For Sale by Billie Holiday, Cole Porter)
When the only sound in the empty seat,
Is the beeping voicemail of the occasional visitor
That belonged to an out-of-town Barack,
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That his smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.
Senate seat for sale,
Pay to play, Senate seat for sale.
Powerful job that's still unspoiled,
A Position that's only slightly soiled,
Senate Seat for sale.

Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?

Let the poets pipe of power

Change me, change me
This opinion piece in the WSJ likens Obama to a leader from the author's boyhood Arab political culture... the unending expectation of the big crowd and their placing hope in a leader and not in themselves. Amazing to see the USA turning it all over to an authoritarian so willfully, so blindly, flooding the streets like some Pakistani crowd chanting for change.
"Save in times of national peril, Americans have been sober, really minimalist, in what they expected out of national elections, out of politics itself. The outcomes that mattered were decided in the push and pull of daily life, by the inventors and the entrepreneurs, and the captains of industry and finance. To be sure, there was a measure of willfulness in this national vision, for politics and wars guided the destiny of this republic. But that American sobriety and skepticism about politics -- and leaders -- set this republic apart from political cultures that saw redemption lurking around every corner.
My boyhood, and the Arab political culture I have been chronicling for well over three decades, are anchored in the Arab world. And the tragedy of Arab political culture has been the unending expectation of the crowd -- the street, we call it -- in the redeemer who will put an end to the decline, who will restore faded splendor and greatness. When I came into my own, in the late 1950s and '60s, those hopes were invested in the Egyptian Gamal Abdul Nasser. He faltered, and broke the hearts of generations of Arabs. But the faith in the Awaited One lives on, and it would forever circle the Arab world looking for the next redeemer.
America is a different land, for me exceptional in all the ways that matter. In recent days, those vast Obama crowds, though, have recalled for me the politics of charisma that wrecked Arab and Muslim societies. A leader does not have to say much, or be much. The crowd is left to its most powerful possession -- its imagination."

Obama Followers: Vote Early, Vote Often
The Obama campaign is pushing hard to get people to vote early, and why not? Once a person has voted, it doesn't matter anymore what they learn about Obama, who was practically on top of the Democratic ticket before people knew a thing about him beyond the fact that he has written plenty of books about himself, and had authored almost no legislation, or led any large organization besides his own campaign. And that is actually run by his PR firm and some extremely wealthy patrons. Obama is a professional speaker and that's all, and over time many people are realizing this. McCain over time, despite having less than half the money, is picking up followers and gaining in the polls. The Democrats' goal is to just get Obama elected by whatever means, and answer the tough questions later. (Or rather than answer the tough questions later, why not say then that it's just more Republican bickering and attacking. Can we Move On?) For example, what about the illegal online fund raising via credit cards that have not been verified. What really went wrong with Fannie and Freddie?
Again, let's elect a Democrat, regardless of who it is or whether he has any experience, or belief in American values of liberty, free markets, and capitalism, and then deal with any nagging questions about who or why after the fact.
"We were asked -- or required -- to expand lending, to conserve capital while providing liquidity, to meet housing goals for the undeserved, to serve shareholders and homeowners alike," Mudd told the paper. Hmmm... while McCain was asking for stricter regulations to reign in Fannie and Freddie, who do you think was all for more lending to the poor, undeserving urban communities who really deserve their own houses just like those rich fat cats? Let's figure that out after the election, shall we? We don't want to upset the imbalance of the election by actually reporting news now, and finding answers now, do we?

Obama's early vote push
A U.S. Congress committee said last week that it would examine the financial collapse and federal takeover of the companies on November 20, after the U.S. presidential and congressional elections.

Meet your new leader: Gholam Hossein Nozari
If Obama wins, meet your new leader: Gholam Hossein Nozari
[Hardline OPEC members Iran and Venezuela had been pushing members to slice production by 2 million barrels a day, with Iran's oil minister declaring, "The era of cheap oil is finished." When asked before Friday's meeting what price Iran would want for its oil, Gholam Hossein Nozari boasted, "The more the better."]
Or, we could take a smart approach, boost our own supplies lessening our dependence on Mr. Nozari & Co., while ramping up our R&D to adopt alternative sources of energy such as nuclear, natural gas, solar and wind. That would be the McCain, Palin approach. But to hear the Democrats' spin, if we drill now, we're "not getting it" because we need to develop alternative sources of energy. As if drilling now precludes our quest to develop alternatives. That's part of the Democrat's quest to take power: paint the Republicans as fools, and guess who has bought it? Fools on the left.
Drilling now is not a simpleton's approach, but it's often misrepresented by the Democratic Party leaders in an effort to mislead voters. Drilling now is the first step in removing ourselves from our dependence on OPEC. Vote for McCain/Palin Nov 4th, not Gholam Hossein Nozari.

Vote for Obammunism Nov 4th!
Vote Nov 4th and be a part of history!
This November 4th, as you know, is a momentous occasion in US history, and you can be a part of it by getting out there and voting. The dream can become a reality this year, as we finally eradicate our old system that just hasn't worked - those old "trickle down economics" ideas, and capitalism, and the 2-party system, and we can now move forward into a better future together, where the workers of the US can unite! When we together can share one common media that is unified in reporting just the news about our one-party system!
So many of our countrymen have become wealthy, and it's time that they become patriots and give more of that money back to the working class. The backbone of our country are the hard working factory workers and union members. They're the real innovators. The community organizers, and laborers. People like you and me.
We have a chance next month to vote for a change like this country has never seen before! We can finally shed the tired old mechanisms of free trade and selfishly running one's own business, and unite together as we work together at jobs for larger nationalized companies that pay us fairly, and provide our health care for us. There will be plenty of work, and food for everyone. No more need for the capitalism of greed. Let's unite together under a new name - Obammunism!
Many years from now you can share this moment with your grandchildren. A moment when America realized its new destiny of a one-party system with a unified, one-party media giving you only the news you really need, and not wasting time with the bickering and bad-mouthed attacks of that other party.
There were those who disagreed. Many of them were racists; many clung to their Bibles, and a fear of change they didn't understand. But our great leader has become a beacon of hope even to them. They can now see the great logo of Obama emblazoned on our newly designed flag that used to point to the divisions of 50 separate states including Alaska, and now simply displays the logo of unity for all of us: one party, one state, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!
Get out there and vote for Obama, knowing that his economic plan... just seems to make sense! Once we get rid of the outdated Bush tax rebates, we can now replace those with the Obama tax reduction plan. Forget about the $1,200 rebate check you got this year from Bush's plan; next year it'll be $1,200 less you have to pay under Obama's new plan! That's $1,200 lower taxes for you, and more money from those fat cats who own businesses. They're skating by now. The top 25% of wage earners in this country now only pay 86% of the nation's taxes! By voting together with us as Obama supporters, we can make sure that those top 25% pay 95% of all income taxes! And most of us will therefore not have to pay a dime. We're tired of those business executives and their lack of patriotism! They must unite with us, or leave the country.
Join us as we create movies from Hollywood supporting our cause. We have taken steps to make sure workers from that other party cannot find work in Hollywood, paving the way for a united front of motion picture excellence, supporting Obama! We all still remember the days of blacklisting communists in Hollywood under McCarthyism, and how painful and unfair that was. Several movies have been made highlighting the injustices of denying an actor work due to his political affiliations. Now at last the Obammunist actors can be at the forefront once again, in our new society, and in fairness we choose not to favor one party over another in movie productions, because fortunately in the future there will be only one party!
Joe Biden had it right. During the debate with Sarah Palin you may have noticed how he tried to embarrass her on national TV with his superior knowledge of the true role and power of the Vice President. What Sarah didn't know was that Joe was citing from his knowledge of the FUTURE Constitution, after Obama is inaugurated, and has had the time to alter the powers of the VP and the legislative branches of government. Palin, 2 steps behind as usual, was basing her answer on the Constitution as it reads in 2008. But Joe, be patient my friend. It's only 2 months now and then the reduced and far less dangerous levels of Vice Presidential power can begin to take shape with you in office. (You betcha!)
But you must vote on November 4th. Our leader, Obama, has spent years studying with his mentors such as Frank, Bill, Jeremiah, Louis, Karl and others (last names are omitted for the protection of our leader), and he knows what's best for your future. You can trust him on that. If you do learn of anyone speaking out against Obama however, please forward those emails to us at watchdog@barackobama.com. It's time we put a stop to those who speak out against us, and we're keeping track of them. Please help us in this endeavor.

Garry Kasparov Just a Pawn In Russia's Game

Someone should just shut MSNBCtv down - your whole network is offensive
Dear MSNBCtv:
From Keith Olbermann's show, to your "Worst Person In The World"
feature, to Hardball, I'm thinking, you can't really get much more
offensive than that... so if you're going to fire IMUS, why not just
shut the whole network down? You've done enough damage for one decade I think.
One thing will be true after Imus is gone - MSNBCtv will now officially
have no sense of humor at all. Not that Imus was very funny either,
but at least he was in POSSESSION of a sense of humor. At least he
could smell humor when it existed within 60 feet of his nose, unlike
your other hosts.
I've got an idea for you! How about a "Worst Network In The World"
spot and you can just feature MSNBCtv there everyday?!
I feel sorry for Tucker. How did he get stuck on your network? He may
be the one exception to your humorless rule, although as your lone
conservative, isn't he mainly there to act as punching bag?
Anyway - I'll just mention that Keith Olbermann is perhaps the only
news show host that actually makes me want to vomit each time he opens his mouth. I'm usually fortunate enough to miss his show, and I fortunately am not even sure what channel MSNBCtv is on (is it 312, or 272?) but on those occasions when I do catch a show I'm reminded why I watch FOX.
Sincerely,

A Lot To Be Sorry For
What with all the apologizing going on for verbal slips, Larry Elder lists a few other apologies we'll probably never hear, such as:
Dear Anti-Defamation League and White Community,
Please accept my apologies for calling whites "interlopers" and referring to Jews as "diamond merchants," and, during a conflict between Jews and blacks, saying, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." They were mistakes of the head, not the heart.
Rev. Al Sharpton, civil rights activist and former host of "Saturday Night Live"
Dear Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and other minority members of the Bush administration,
Please accept my apology for, while co-hosting a radio show in 2001, calling Bush's minority appointees "Uncle Tom types." I made a mistake of the head, not of the heart.
Sincerely yours, Gloria Allred, attorney at law, currently representing the black "victims" of Michael Richards' racist rant

Vermont Movement Grows To Secede From the USA
"Vermont was once an independent republic, and it can be one again. We think the time to make that happen is now. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. government has grown too big, too corrupt and too aggressive toward the world"
This is good news for school kids, who would no longer be required to remember that Montpelier is the Vermont state Capital.

Free Speech in Russia - Please!
"Now that we've killed off all the journalists we didn't like, we're now good to go with that whole free speech thing." (author embellishment)
"Ivan Safronov, the military affairs writer for Kommersant, died Friday after falling from a fifth-story window in the stairwell of his apartment building in Moscow, officials said..."
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said in January that 13 Russian journalists have been murdered in contract-style killings since 2006, making Russia the third-deadliest country for journalists after Iraq and Algeria in the past 15 years.

Hillary Staying Positive
After David Geffen raised millions for Obama and not Hillary, and called her a smooth liar, she shot back:
"I want to run a very positive campaign, and I sure don't want Democrats or the supporters of Democrats to be engaging in the politics of personal destruction."
Hillary only wants to slander and personally destroy Rebublicans.

Muslim Blogging - Please Be Nice!
Abdel Kareem Nabil is a 22-year-old a blogger who was convicted of insulting Islam with his blog, and sentenced to 4 years in prison. Nabil (known as Kareem Amer online) referred to Egypt's Al-Azhar University in his blog as "the university of terrorism" and accused it of suppressing free thought.
Honestly, the Egyptian government doesn't suppress free thought, as long as people don't express any of those thoughts. Then they might go to jail.

Senators Know the Importance of This Vote
This is one vote the Democrat's 2008 hopefuls know they need to attend. This non-binding resolution on Iraq will be a key to the Presidential debates in '08, where they will be able to say they voted for a resolution about Iraq.
Is the vote meaningless? Yes. But it's an all-important vote as potential candidates study polls intensely to help them choose what position on the Iraqui conflict will garner more votes in '08.
Many important decisions were made in '05 in preparation for the '06 elections. The goal? To promote the following talking points:
1. It's not a War on Terror - it's just a war in Iraq. Issues related to Al-Qaeda, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan, Palestine, Israel, 9/11 - comPLETEly unrelated
2. Bush (and any Republican even loosely associated with Bush) is responsible for the war in Iraq
3. Bush lied about WMDs
Getting people to believe those three points may have seemed like an impossible task, but considering that many voters already sincerely believe that the Government is covering up information about aliens and UFOs, it's not really such a stretch.
Amazingly, a large percentage of voters now believe points 1, 2, and 3, as gospel truth. With the crucial '08 elections only 21 months off, it's important that the public sees that the Democrats in the House and Senate have been busy talking and voting on stuff, because once the debates come up, it'll be very important to be able to cite what various candidates voted on and talked about. Meanwhile, Bush (and any Republican even loosely associated with Bush) can continue to shoulder responsibility for theWar on Terror illegal invasion of Iraq, unless by some amazing miracle, the new government in Iraq starts to stabilize, in which case it'll be important to jump on the bandwagon and find times when candidates said things in support of the War on Terror. Important decisions made now to stop funding the troops could help to ensure that this won't happen.

Mayor Has Strange Way of Showing Appreciation
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom was served well by his long-time campaign manager, Alex Tourk, who worked tirelessly for the mayor helping him get elected. Then the mayor slept with Tourk's wife.
Given that this is San Francisco, the question remains, will this bit of news help or hurt the Mayor's re-election bid?
