Friday round up

Global Warming

In the worst case of global warming yet in Ft. Wayne, schools are closed today because it’s -10 with a wind chill of -30. The Boy Scout Klondike Derby has been cancelled due to cold weather as well. I know that AlGore has to be in the area somewhere promoting his idiocy. Everywhere that poor dope goes the temperature plunges.

Sarah Palin

Apparently P-E Obama “forgot” to invite Sarah Palin to the inaugural ball honoring John McCain. Hmm. Who was working the guest list Tim Geithner? People are looking at this as some kind of snub to Sarah. No. The only people who will be on the short end of the stick are the people who go to that event. Who’d want to be around McCain AND Obama at the same time? One at a time please.

An everyday miracle

Yeah that one. I’ll pay a bit more attention the next time I hear the words, “In the unlikely event of a water landing…”

Second Geithner reference

Nina Easton claims that because Geithner is the only one that can steer us through this current financial crisis, being a tax cheat and liar may not be enough to keep him from being confirmed. Wonderful. Hey Lex we know he’s a tax cheat, but how’s he a liar? Well I’m glad you asked that question, any educated person – even a one from the public schools – who says he “forgot he had to pay taxes” is a liar.

But still the brilliant class in Washington D.C. who got us into this mess claim Geithner is a must to get us out. That makes as much sense as Calvin Coolidge saying he has to have Al Capone at justice to stop bootlegging. The good news is that another tax cheat and liar – Charlie Rangel – will be writing the tax code. No doubt some sort of retro active rule will come out of Rangel’s committee allowing for highly placed people to “forget” to pay their taxes from time to time.

Bush farewell

I like Bush. I liked his farewell. I pity the Bush haters who will have to actually look for some cause and effect when things go wrong in their lives now instead of reflexively blaming Bush. Obama and the MSM will have no such obligation. They will spend the next 4 years taking credit for Bush policies in Iraq and Afghanistan and blaming him for everything that goes wrong.

I got the sense that this line from the farewell address could have applied to President Bush himself, “this great Nation will never tire … never falter … and never fail.”

Barry bypasses Bush

Meanwhile, P-E Obama was providing a new definition for low rent punk. Right as the President was scheduled to speak to the nation, Barry it’s all about me now Obama was headed out for dinner. Who goes out to eat after 7 p.m. on a weeknight? Barry and other Euro@sswipes that’s who.
