Vacation? Really?!

Now I'm not one to begrudge the President or member of Congress some time off. I like vacations. You like vacations. We all like vacations.

And in the case of Congress, the members use this time to get in touch with their constituants, do town hall meetings, and be face to face with the people that sent them to Washington in the first place.

But five weeks? When we're in the financial mess we're in? Yeah, maybe a bit too long. You know? But I'll get back to that.

It was a comment by spokes-tool Jay Carney that got my dander up when I read it this morning. Now setting aside the gobsmacking hypocrisy of this dude -- he lambasted then President Bush while Carney was a writer for Time (I think), when Bush did his Heartland America tour, calling it an excuse for an undeserved vacation, or some such. But Carney remarked yesterday that no one should be against President Obama spending time with his family.

!?!

The White House is an actual house you know. They don't just call it the White House 'cause it sounds cool. The Prez and his wife and kids all live there. 24/7. In the lap of luxury, surrounded by servants and gofers and secret service people that do every thing but wipe their asses for them.

And they're partying with Jay-Z and Beyonce and Russel Simmons and just about every one else every weekend there. Plus the Prez is out golfing about 4 times a week and hopping on Air Force One a couple of times a month to take his wife out to dinner and a show in New York or Chicago or whatever.

So "spend a little time with his family"?! Yeah, I'm not getting it.

And as to Congress -- with real unemployment at nearly 18%, the economy facing another recession, the stock market tanking . . . maybe a five week homestand isn't such a good idea. To their credit, Republicans in the House have passed a series of spending bills and sent them to the Senate, where they'll sit collecting dust under Harry Reid's compilation of Cowboy Poetry sonnets. Talk about obstructionism. Pity it's only us on the right doing so.

And on a more pleasant note, here's the Duffster getting her fitness on for a Danskin commercial or video or something:

woof

Late night hotness . . .

So . . . get a pool table you say?

Al Gore needs a time out

Speaking at a gathering of brainwashed climate alarmists last weekend, Al Gore responded to opposing views on anthropogenic global warming by calling the ideas and anyone who espoused them "bullsh*t!"

If you haven't heard the audio, the Goreacle sounds a bit unhinged, like a guy who's finding out that his bolt of lightning lucky plan to make himself obscenely wealthy was falling apart.

Well, that's what happens when you base your powerpoint joke-umentary on an IPCC report that wouldn't stand scrutiny at a sixth grade science fair. Every single point in Gore's movie has been thoroughly rebutted. And even now, the guy who put forth the nonsense about the polar bears drowning that horrified school children is being investigated for fraud and scientific malfeasance.

Global warming? Even the guys at the East Anglia Climate center admit we've been in a period of global cooling for ten years! And even if the overall trend is warming, we haven't even reached the temperature of the planet back when Jesus walked the earth.

No increase in the number of storms or their intensity, despite the hysterical untruths thrown around after the tornado tragedy earlier this year.

Gore barks that climate change deniers are putting forth pseudo-scientists to refute his claims, which is pretty high dudgeon coming from a man who lined up muscians, actors, and businessmen who had bought into his carbon offset ponzi scheme to sign off on his climate manifesto.

In truth, many of those refuting the Goreacle are actual scientists who originally bought into the frenzy and are now realizing the science was faulty and more politically motivated than a search for scientific fact.

I said in a post long ago, that the theory of global warming flies in the face of the Second Law of Thermodynamics -- you simply cannot have a system increase energy all by itself. If that was true, you could seal up a box of air and it would heat up on it's own. Ever see that happen? And within the last day or two, scientists examining NASA's own atmospheric data have found that the upper atmosphere is sheading heat to space much more efficiently and quickly than warming hysterics have claimed with their computer models.

You have to wonder, when people like Gore and Ed Begley and James Cameron are shrieking the "science is settled" why they cannot produce a computer model that accurately predicts anything, even past climate! The E. Anglia e-mail dump showed that the researchers there were baffled by this very situation and wondered if they were heading in the wrong direction with their conclusions. Pity they didn't follow their honest instincts, we wouldn't have this stupid situation now.

As for the Goreacle -- if he wasn't single-handedly wreaking havoc on the world with his unsupportable claims of climate apocolypse, I might feel sorry for him. Dude lost an election that was handed to him on a silver platter. And now his dream of being a climate czar are crashing down under the weight of actual science.

Well, at least he has his paperweight, I mean Nobel Prize.

What in the emo hell?

I wasn't going to do another post tonight, but then I saw this pic of Peaches Geldoff and her new "boy"friend:

Now if I was a skilled blogger, this is where I'd have the YouTube clip on autoplay of Megan Fox from Jennifer's Body going -- "He listens to maggot rock, he wears mascara . . . my d*ck is bigger than his!"

I mean seriously . . . dude . . . at least do something about the shorts. Bad enough you look like she's dragging you down the sidewalk like a recalcitrant child. You're embarrassing us guys.

Quote of the day

From John Hayward, formerly known as Doc Zero, writing at Human Events and exposing the laughably lame string of excuses, stale boilerplate and blame throwing by President Obama today after he showed up 45 minutes late for his own statement on S&P's downgrade of the U.S.'s credit rating:

"There was not a word of contrition, not a hint of responsibility personally accepted by the President, whose attitude can best be summarized as the frustration of a benevolent dictator forced to work in the messy kitchens of democracy."

Kelly Rowland forgot something

Playing at a club over the weekend, Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland forgot she got implants last year:

Wearing some kinky leather strappy thingy sized to fit her old a-cups, Kelly's all shakin' her groove thang, and totally forgetting she's got some junk up top now. Physics wins every time.

And this is why Katy Perry spends about an hour with double-sided tape and pasties, doing jumping jacks before every show. But of course, she's used to having wamdigeous boobage. Kelly's still on the learning curve.

Gee, what a coincidence

So I see that President Obama is doing a bus tour towards Iowa as the Ames Straw Poll approaches.

Hmmm, bus tour . . . that sounds so familiar. Where have I run across that before? Oh yeah:

Of course, Sarah was paying her own expenses during her tour through the beauty and grandeur of our country. The cost of the President's bus tour will be footed by . . . you, the taxpayer. 'Cause even though it looks/walks/talks like a campaign exercise, it is being promoted as nothing more than Presidential business. So we, the taxpayers, are paying for the man to campaign for his re-election while he once again raises millions on his own through various fund-raising sources.

I also see that a movie is coming out featuring our president. It supposedly will focus on the killing of bin Laden, but since the script writers and director have been given exclusive access to the White House and all the inner workings of the operation where the President had to take his beauty nap before deciding to take the world's greatest terrorist out, I suspect the movie will focus on the man who wears the mantle of leadership heavy upon his shoulders.

Hmmm, a movie about a political leader and the drama and struggle they face in a crisis . . . that sounds familiar, too. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah:

Of course the movie about Sarah Palin was created and funded by the director who simply admired the woman and her accomplishments and abhored the relentless attacks on her by the left wing media and political thugs.

The movie celebrating the man who will stop the waters from rising and cool the planet is being funded by the same Hollywood elite who funnel millions into the President's campaign coffers. And by what I am sure is mere happenstance, the movie is slated to premiere just three weeks before the election!

Man, talk about fortuitous timing! President Obama's single positive accomplishment in what will by then be nearly four years in office, and it is being celebrated right before the election. Is that some lucky timing or what?! Almost as if it had been planned that way.

I'm sure it wasn't planned. 'Cause that would be the sort of thing that whole Citizens United case was about. And one thing we know about Democrats is that they're not hypocrites at all. They'd never avail themselves of a legal decision they were so fiercely opposed to and wanted so desperately to reverse.

I'm just wondering if there's a reality show in the works. I mean that's a lot of coincidences mounting up here. And with all the hatred and denigration heaped on Sarah Palin by the left, they sure seem to be cribbing from her pr playbook.

If she's so dumb, what does that make those who copy her?

Update:

You know it's bad when a shrieking liberal like Maureen Dowd is saying the same thing I am:

"The moviemakers are getting top-level access to the most classified mission in history from an administration that has tried to throw more people in jail for leaking classified information than the Bush administration.



It was clear that the White House had outsourced the job of manning up the president’s image to Hollywood when [Mark]Boal got welcomed to the upper echelons of the White House and the Pentagon and showed up recently — to the surprise of some military officers — at a C.I.A. ceremony celebrating the hero Seals."
