Friday, September 18, 2009 at 04:04PM I've been ready to write "It's been a long wee-week" since Wednesday.
Let's start at the very beginning...
Sunday. I went to Church twice. Oh, sorry: this isn't about that. Sunday...
OK, maybe I should start with today and work backwards. Today, Friday, we find out that Michelle Obama's yen to do some grocery shopping cost the taxpayers about a jillion dollars, but more importantly, is single-handedly responsible for raising the earth's temperature by six degrees fahrenheit and completely indundating all coastal cities. Her reaction on finding out that New Orleans was once again under water: "Maybe they can strap on some organic beignets and float outta there..." But the vegetable garden at the WH is "one of the best things I've done in my life so far." Alrighty then.
Thursday: Started early for Donald Tusk, Poland's president. He got the middle of the night call to let him know that Barry wasn't going to honor the agreement between Poland and the US to place the missile shield in Poland, or indeed, on any dry land. And the official announcement would be made just a few short hours later. And for extra-extra smart diplomacy, this all took place on the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland by the Soviet Union. Why he couldn't have waited a few short months for the 70th anniversary of this landmark of Polish-Russian relations, I couldn't tell you. And, let's not forget the Czech Republic.
Wednesday: Was it Wednesday that BigGovernment.com came out with the San Diego installment of the Great Acorn I-Can't-Believe-These-People-Are-This-Stupid sting? It's like a reality TV show. My favorite part of the San Diego one was where the "lawyer" from Mexico was pricing out Hannah Giles services. I'll give this to him- he spoke English better than the gals in Baltimore and Washington. No assimilation issues here!
Wednesday Follow-up: it's just fun reading or listening to Bertha Lewis's upset about the sting. It's just fun. And when she says, " We are not going to take this lying down. We believe that — in fact, we know, that this was a form of entrapment. And, yes, we're going to go after this videographer and FOX" it's just entertainment of the purest sort, especially after both the House and the Senate voted to cut off various forms of government funding to ACORN. What she really means is, "I can't believe that any employee of mine wouldn't know that a white dude who looks like a Keebler Elf and says "fricking" couldn't possible be a homie."
Jon Stewart weighs in:
Tuesday was light saber day at the White House. Jim Treacher, take it away! A true dorkfest, but plenty of "What Not To Wear," uh, "Brandish," uh, "Pick" moments!
Monday: The San Bernardino Acorn Sting. Trese is your standard issue whack job whose hero is Heidi Fleiss. She's been watching way too many Charlie's Angels, Farrah Fawcett reruns. Great ta-ta's, though.
On Healthcare, Michelle is doing her level best to ring the cowbell for Barry. Check out this video and try to suppress the urge to hand her a tissue (no, she's not crying she just can't get with the Sebelius Sleeve Maneuver.) But check out the outfit and ponder similarities to this. For what it's worth, I think Michelle is a better public speaker than BO.
Sunday: Who can remember back that far? Oh, yeah: was it Sunday Monday that Mr. Former President 40 Years Past His Sell-by Date [content warning: could cause unpleasant flashbacks] spoke up about racism in America? Jonah Goldberg:
... I think the abominable circumstance is the Vesuvian eruption of nonsense belched forth from distempered liberals frustrated by their inability to win a public-policy debate.
An “overwhelming proportion” of the vocal opposition to Obama stems from the “inherent feeling” that “an African-American should not be president,” testifies the de facto voice of Southern self-loathing and pharisaical pomposity.
If I didn't know better, I'd say Jonah was a little testy.
Jihad Watch: another one bites the dust. Woo hoo!
Iran Watch: very big demos in Tehran. Maybe even bigger than the 9/12 Tea Party in Washington, D.C. Sistani is getting into the act to condemn the leadership.
And a couple of fantastic feasts for the eyes: like clockwork, and The Old Country. Enjoy!
