Will Obama Lose The Egyptian Revolution Like Carter Lost The Iranian Revolution?

Yep. Pro-democracy forces needing our help will not get that help and another Islamic Bananna Republic will be set up by another Ayatollah Khomeini.

It's like Obama and Carter were twins separated at birth. Who got the left side of the brain?

I think another set of twins separated at birth were Billy Carter and Jabberin' Joe Biden. At least Billy had beer going for him.

Buffoons all.

Enviromental Expertise Worth About A Buck Two Ninety Eight

And that amount of environmental expertise is funded with billions of our dollars. Somebody is gettin' screwed.

Himalayan glaciers not melting because of climate change, report finds

Himalayan glaciers are actually advancing rather than retreating, claims the first major study since a controversial UN report said they would be melted within quarter of a century.

The environmentalists do have the UN on their side, but what could go wrong with that?

Palin 2, Lefties 0

There are so many points which lefties hoped to take down Sarah Palin. Each time they failed. Each time they proved that they, not Palin, were the ones ignorant of history. Each time they became more frustrated and descended further into ignorance and madness as they squirmed to explain themselves. It's kind of beautiful to watch.

 Soviet space expert James Oberg

It's more complicated, but the essence is, Palin was right: the Soviets sowed the seed of their own collapse by setting off the Space Race.

Before this there was the 1773 moment. Lefties pounced faster than the Right assassinated Rep. Giffords crowd. Their ignorance of significant events in the birth of the United States was stupefying.

Hubris, Nemesis, and Partying Like It’s 1773

When Sarah Palin told a Tea Party crowd last Monday that it wasn’t time yet to “party like it’s 1773,” segments of the left such as Kos’s founder Markos Moulitsas chortled at her supposed stupidity. Their kneejerk assumption was that Palin was so ignorant that she didn’t even know the date of early events in the American Revolution. But since it was actually the Boston Tea Party (1773) to which she was referring, it was Sarah who had the last laugh.

More stupefying is their sense of being part of the intellectual elite which allows them to feel, and thus imply Sarah Palin as trailer trash in the nicest of Daisy Duke traditions that make elites so witty and condescending.

Well, Palin is setting her own tradition. She's 2 for 2 and those intellectual elites are 0 for 0 and it's making them crazier than an outhouse rat in a red hot barrel. With no way out.

Ill Supreme Court Sez Rahm Emanuel On Ballot

Gee, who da thunk? A Schicago machine pol asks for a ruling and viola, the Ill Supremes say here ya go.

We discussed this before here.

HUD = Hookers & Unsavory Dead

Add in paying for belly dancers, mismanagement, sex offenders, embezzlement, employee bonuses, cost-of-living increases and severance awards and children damaged for life, to name a few, and you have a perfect example of government agencies too big, too corrupt and too stupid to do any job right.

Public Housing, Private Frustration
HUD-Funded Housing Projects Wasted Money on Belly Dancers, Sex Offenders and Dead Residents

Read the whole article. If ObamaCare becomes a reality maybe doctors and you may suffer, but some administrator will probably have a "million dollar mansion in Florida, with a Lamborghini and BMW parked out front."

UPDATE: Link was missing, but now fixed thanks to a heads up from Zilla. You can read her here and here.

Obama To Push Gun Control

He purposely left any mention out of the SOTU preferring to speak of high speed trains and proposals of economic responsibility which will be the last we ever hear that.

Newsweek has this to say:

But throughout the hourlong speech, he never addressed the issue at the core of the Giffords tragedy—gun control—and what lawmakers would, or should, do to reform American firearm-access laws.

No, gun control is not the core issue. If they wanted to speak about a nut that was allowed to roam free even though authorities knew him to be dangerous as the core issue then they'd have a point. But nuts being confined doesn't fit the meme.

That was intentional, according to the White House. An administration official says Obama didn’t mention guns in his speech because of the omnipresent controversy surrounding the Second Amendment and gun control. Tuesday’s speech was designed to be more about the economy and how, as Obama repeated nine times, the U.S. could “win the future.”

But in the next two weeks, the White House will unveil a new gun-control effort in which it will urge Congress to strengthen current laws, which now allow some mentally unstable people, such as alleged Arizona shooter Jared Loughner, to obtain certain assault weapons, in some cases without even a background check.

Poor Rep. Giffords, a second amendment supporter, will once again be used by the Obama administration to further another goal. They want Obama's economic policy and his abysmal SOTU address off the front pages so they'll use Giffords to that end plus they can use the media to paint those opposing such gun control efforts as heartless and evil. Double win!

If they can chip away at the 2nd amendment, well, that's a bonus.

Meghan McCain Says Michelle Bachman Is Poor Man's Sarah Palin

Classy bimbette Meghan  'Who the hell is Sarah Palin?' McCain says that Bachman is a poor man's Palin and if she thinks Palin is trailer trash, as she has implied, then what must she really think of Bachman?

Meghan states that Palin brought "drama, stress, complications, panic and loads of uncertainty" to her father's presidential campaign. Maybe the thought of one day getting all that beer money has clouded her thinking because Palin also brought a lot more votes to the ticket. Maybe she's just projecting about her Xanax problem. Talk about bringing stress to a campaign.

Maybe Meghan is stuck in the first act of Xanadu. Meg, keep dreaming of someday.

Monkey Butt

Couldn't resist.

Congressman: We Shouldn't Focus On Muslims In War On Terror

Lutherans threaten America
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), ranking member on the Homeland Security Committee, wrote:

We cannot cripple ourselves by ignoring the fact that terrorist activity knows no race, ethnicity or religion.

He was writing to say that there are other terrorist group and that House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.)  should not focus on just Muslims. While there are obviously dangerous groups such as Lunatic Lutherans planning death to America I think their numbers and organization might not be up to par with Muslim jihadists though, if lutefisk sales start rising like the cost of oil, then we may have a problem, but I don't think King is focusing on just Muslims. He is focusing on them because they have been behind murder and death all over the world, but I'm thinking that there is general knowledge of other terrorists.

I don't know much about Bennie, but it appears that only MLK or Malcom X could beat him so his district is pretty safe for him. So safe he can play stupid and dangerous political games with the security of the United States of America.

I'd say that Bennie Thompson is the Olbermann of the week.

Unemployment: 454,000 Get Bucks But No Work

Those stimuli are working overtime making America stronger, eh?

Pundits, even conservatives, are saying that Obama will be reelected in 2012.

Now I know what Obama was referring to with his WTF.

Aunt Samantha Sucker Punched Uncle Sam, She's Now In Charge w/Update From ManBearPig's Sibling

And she is going to make the world safe whether you like it or not. Behave or Auntie will spank you with court papers and new laws. Auntie loves you. You cretin. You'll understand some day.

Lawyers and lawsuits shut down prime sledding hills...
NYC Lawmaker Proposes Ban On 'Talking And Walking'...
Mom jailed for enrolling kids in better school district...

And Aunt Samantha ain't just shutting down lunches that your kid might like, she's suing the shorts off anyone who tells her where to shove her nannanista ways.

And she has the federal government as her junk yard dog to help show you the errors of your ways.

UPDATE:
ManBearPig's sib, NanBarePrig, Dennis Kucinich is suing because the caddy health care plan left him short in the enjoyment and pain department after oral surgery which he say's is the House cafeteria's fault. It's not clear if pain and enjoyment were listed in the same catagory, but it's the pits for sure! Auntie Samantha couldn't fix it with just a gold plated plan so let's get to suing somebody!

SOTU Poll - Yawning Voters W/ Update

The state of the union appears to be listing to one side as the ship of state is porting into any harbor it can find. This, then, is a wrap up of the tempest in a teapot called the SOTU:

Fox News - 'FLAT'
CBS - Obama: "The Future is Ours to Win"
CBS Poll - Poll: High Marks for Obama's State of the Union Speech  91% loved it say they!
ABC - State of the Union 2011: Obama Emphasizes Bipartisanship to Promote Jobs, Growth, Innovation
NBC - A new spirit in Washington, but same old divisions linger
AP - State of the Union stirs current of hope, doubt

But, but, but...AP - Fact check: Obama ledger out of balance

Bottom Feeders -

SOTU - Infrastructure/Innovation
Randy Andy Sullivan appears to have spent the evening elsewhere. Probably researching his own high speed train proposal(s).
Meh.
From Ezra of the "I" generation - Lots of vision, but few policy specifics

Top Feeders -

IA Poll (including household, blogs and the Internet):

BUST! - Shoulda gone bowling. Alone. Better use of time.

UPDATE:

IOTW says WTF

Obama SOTU Speech A Bust

Spoke in blandishments.

Tried to hide more entitlements.

Spoke of deeds he will never do.

A waste of many minutes.

Pundits Wrong About Reagan And Obama

Obama never mentioned Reagan let alone praised Reagan.

Musta come to his senses. Any mention of Reagan would have put the lie to his administration.

SOTU Off The Rails

Bam Bam has gone completely la la.

Trying to wrap up a completely disingenuous SOTU Obama is now dribbling.

To wrap up Obama is showing his support of the troops by promising to give them what they need to fight which is giving them the right to be openly gay.

Now he wants to talk about no illusions.

Our democracy is messy, but good!

Panadering in the fast lane.

We do big things. That is how we win the future.

By spending trillions we don't have?

Oh, BTW our union is strong.....

What a crock.

No Real Cuts, No Real Tax Cuts, Just Rhetoric As Usual.

Now is the time to act, for Republicans and Democrats to do abosutely squat to make us more efficient and better people.

Big joke about being smoked referring to salmon.

Love that humor.

Obama is going to reorganize government and will allow every citizen to see online just how wonderful government is.

For the third time Obama says he will veto any bill with earmarks. Waiting.

As Obama tells us that America's leadership has been renewed and the world now loves us once again Jabberin' Joe is falling asleep.

Biden should be falling asleep because Obama has switched into his "I wanna be Bush" mode complete with coaltion talk, but without reality.

In short, Obama will defeat the enemy even though he can't defeat Republicans.

On to nuke talk. Always a great talking point for one who has the wind in his face.

Health Care Reform And Balanced Budget Lies

Obama is pulling out the sick to try and save his ObamaScare. He has to if he has any chance of reeelection.

So he builds his case on lies.

Building on one lie to another he moves to lessening our debt and balancing our budgets.

He's willing to cut, but only on his terms and referenced by his catchy little phrases (see list of supporters who gave the big bucks) he wants to cut programs that he never in a minute will ever cut, but Obama is going all bi-partisan.

Right.

Lower The Corporate Tax Rate????

Liberal heads exploding nationwide.

Will it happen?

No.

Is Obama campaigning or is he telling the truth?

Yes and no.
