I don't know why anyone is surprised by this


Back during the primaries for the 2008 Presidential election, I tried to point out to anyone who would listen, a very frightening comment by then candidate Obama.

The supposed constitutional scholar stated at one point that he believed the Constitution to be a fundamentally flawed document because it did not contain entitlement language. This, I stated, showed a fundamentally flawed understanding of what the Constitution is -- it is a firewall between the citizens of this country and the federal government. It is there to keep the government out of our private lives, to allow us to worship and speak freely, be safe from warrantless search and seizures, not be forced to incriminate ourselves in a court of law, and so on.

Now we have the President forcing religous groups and their organizations to provide abortions and other services that go against the doctrines of their faith. President Obama went as far as to have the head of HHS re-classify what a religous organization actually is. This is some Orwellian sh*t right here!

And after a number of Catholic groups, who've been sleeping on the clock for the last three years, finally started complaining, the administration issued a convoluted compromise that actually makes the situation worse.

In her CPAC speech, Ann Coulter correctly points out that the administration is laying the groundwork to use insurance to impose their ideas of how we should live upon us. By forcing us to buy insurance, via ObamaCare, and then forcing insurance companies to cover the cost of pretty much everything in life, they can control what we eat, how we live, and every other aspect of our lives.

This President has been pissing on the Constitution from the day he took office. A shadow government of czars, wars declared on whim, forced buyouts of banks and private businesses, open vendettas against media outlets, stealth indoctrination of schoolchildren, race baiting, class warfare, and now violation of the First Amendment vis a vis religous freedom.

Despite whoever the Republicans put up for election in November, voters must look at what the current occupant of the White House is doing to this country. It is scary and certainly shouldn't come as a surprise if you've been paying any attention at all.

Hmmm, do we have a horse race here?

Rick Santorum won the caucuses in Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado last night to add to his win in Iowa at the start of the Republican Presidential candidate campagin.

This might give the former Pennsylvania Senator a respectable boost as the official "non Romney" candidate as Newt's often off-putting personality is . . . well, putting a lot of voters and pundits off. Santorum's picked up the backing of several high profile conservative bloggers which certainly helps his cause. But money's the 800lb elephant in the room here.

Mitt's got tons of it and Santorum doesn't. If his campaign can do a credible job of fund raising, the race's angry white man® may become a serious threat to the beltway elite's preferred candidate.

The other interesting thing to come from this will be more questions directed at Santorum in upcoming debates. He's had a couple good outings recently and he's not shy about slamming the opposition. The possibility of some tasty fireworks might just tempt me into watching the next debate when it's on television.

Like I said -- maybe we got a horse race here after all.

Ah jeez, enough already . . .

So I haven't been online much the last couple of days for a variety of reasons. I finally get some time on the 'puter today and what am I bludgeoned with:

lindsay lohan terry richardson photoshoot

Oh look . . . Lindsay Lohan's done another photo shoot with avante garde photographer Terry Richardson. *yawns* And she's managed to yet again be juxtaposed with images of Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. *sighs*

It's like when Democrats make sure to say the word racist in the same sentence as Republican hoping to get them linked inexorably in people's minds, Lindsay seems to think if her image is always linked to Marilyn and Liz, she'll be considered in the same catagory as those legendary Hollywood women.

Uhhhh . . . no.

Then I see a cover of In Style magazine, and who's on the cover . . . yet again:

Yep, everyone's favorite pity party Jennifer Aniston. And for the millionth time, she brings up Angelina Jolie and says she doesn't want to talk about her . . . then talks about her *groan*

Honey, just shut up! Please! You drove away the man in your life with your clingy neediness, you've proven you can't carry a movie on your own, and these relentless publicity grabs -- Jen's in love, Jen's pregnant, Jen's not pregnant, Jen's appearing topless in her next flick, Jen this, Jen that . . .

Just stop already!

And finally I see that songbird Leann Rimes is in the studio working on a new album . . . oh wait, that's not it at all:

leann rimes in a bikini yet again

No, Leann's poured herself into another skimpy bikini and managed to get lots of pictures herself taken. *facepalm* I mean, she used to be a singer, right? Fairly well thought of, as I remember. So now her entire life seems to be centered around getting pictures of her ass posted on the internet.

Oohh, and the trucker cap is a nice touch. Didn't those go out of style about 20 years ago? Way to stay current, baby!

Enough! Okay?! Between these three and that Rhianna chick, I've got famewhore overload goin' on here today.

Arghhh!

Ashley Tisdale for the win

Over the weekend current leggy singer/actress types Miley Cyrus and Ashley Tisdale were out and about:

ashley wins the shorts battle over miley

Miley continued her inexplicable one woman campaign to bring back mom shorts by pairing them with a bustier-thingy. While the Tis did it right with her hip little ensemble.

Ashley's style seems influenced by her association with Vanessa Hudgens, who's been bringin' the funky ever since she put on some weight for that one movie.

No complaints here, as I'm givin' the Tis the win today.

Late night hotness . . .

Uh oh, she's givin' me the sexy eyes . . . now what do I do?

Finally! A decent Game of Thrones preview trailer

About bloody time! I've already read the book, and if the series comes close at all, this should rock!

Kate Upton for the win

Not sure where this pic is from, but bikini model extraordinaire Kate Upton is channeling Marilyn Monroe pretty well in it. Lindsay Lohan tried her best to pull that off in Playboy a while back and missed.

What do you think? Even without her going full monty, I'm Team Kate on this one:
