Air Force 1 Buzzes the Statue of Liberty

Seen on the news this evening; Pres-uh-dent Obama saying he knew nothing about Air Force 1 buzzing the New York skyline.

Either he knew, in which case he's lying, or he didn't know, in which case he's incompetent.

This genius is "The Won" who is going to heal the planet, make the oceans recede and return the USA to international respectability and love?

Sigh. 3 years and 9 months to go.

Mexanadian Border

Via Drew M. at Ace of Spades, it seems that Janet Napolitano, fresh from first labeling anyone who expresses policy differences with the Obama administration a terrorist, and then doubling down, has now stated that the 9-11 hijackers came to the USA through Canada.

MSM story debunking the lie in 3...2...1...

I'm waiting.

Well, while we wait, an observation.

While the Trudeaupian theory of foreign relations (America=evil, murderous commies=good) has great cachet among the Canadian public, it only holds sway as government policy when the kleptocrats are in charge. While the "conservative" squishes have now moved into policy territory once wholly owned and operated by the Thief Party, they still posess the maturity and sanity not to get caught on an open mike boasting about how much fun it is to poke Uncle Sam in the eye. You know, enough for the rubes who vote for the Corrupt Party, but not enough for him to actually do anything about it.

Now we have this in reverse. The Secretary for Homeland Security has made it official policy that the Canadian border is as dangerous as the Mexican border.

Really, it's true. The Canadian army is regularly entering American territory under arms. Oh, wait a minute, that would be the Mexican army.

Hey MSM, about that debunking. I'm still waiting.

UPDATE:

Now dickhead McCain is defending Napolitano's idiotic assertion.


Is there truly anyone, at least anyone on the right, out there who honestly thinks that a McCain administration would have been fundamentally different from the Uh-Bama train wreck?

Pres-Uh-Dent Uh-Bama

This post got got in HTML editing hell. It's been sitting in drafts for 3 weeks, so it's hardly timely, but fuck it. I wrote it, and I'm going to publish it.

Pres-uh-dent Obama, that silver tongued orator, was without his teleprompter again. This time he and British PM Gordon Brown were asked a question by BBC political editor Nick Robinson. Two plus minutes of 'umm'-ing and 'ah'-in ensued.

Guardian writer John Grace decodes the answer here.

As I recall, the press took Mr. Bush's lousy public speaking skills as prima facie evidence of mental retardation. I’m sure they’ll begin calling Mr. Ob-umm-a on his even poorer ex tempore speaking skills any second now.

But I won't be holding my breath. You know, just in case.

Earth Frickin Day

How did I celebrate earth frickin' day? I didn't.

I've hated earth day since the hippies in my high school class started annoying me about it. As a natural born contrarian, I found myself suspicious of anything which was that heavily hyped by the Hollywood half-wit brigade. That was many moons ago, before technology and the repeal of the American "Fairness Doctrine" allowed those of us not on the lunatic left a voice in the mass media, and my instincts turned out to be right on the money.

A brief history of earth day here. If, through some bizarre happenstance, someone is actually reading this, the linked essay is by Kathy Schaidle (home blog here). She actually gets paid to write, so head on over the the first link, since she gets paid by the click.

Short version, one group of hippies wanted to create a new holiday on the first day of spring. Another group of hippies hijacked the idea and dropped it on Lenin's birthday. Whoopee, let's use the birthday of the founder of one of man's most murderous, anti-human empires, to celebrate the murderous, anti-human agenda of the neo-Malthusian left.

Or not.

Hippies.
