  • Before it was just that we weren’t checking our tires

    Remember the good old days when we only had to check our tire pressure in order to live up to the president’s expectations? Well, now apparently, we’re supposed to buy a new car – one like my daughter and her hippie husband keep buying (they’re on their third Pious – is that how it’s spelled?) I thought that was the solution to our problems last year. I have to buy a new one this year, too?

    From Patterico, because it’s since been dropped from AP articles without an explanation;

    Obama needled one questioner who asked about gas prices, now averaging close to $3.70 a gallon nationwide, and suggested that the gentleman consider getting rid of his gas-guzzling vehicle.

    “If you’re complaining about the price of gas and you’re only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know,” Obama said laughingly. “You might want to think about a trade-in.”

    Like it’s our fault gas is nearing $4/gallon because we don’t buy Japanese shitboxes. Then he went on to tell how he’s just like us, cuz he can remember pumping his own gas;

    “Only a few years ago I was still paying off my student loans,” said Obama, who turns 50 in August.

    And with the price of gasoline at US pumps the highest in three years, Obama was quick to stress he understood the plight of average Americans, insisting he was not out of touch just because he is being whisked around in a motorcade or flying on Air Force One.

    “It’s true, I don’t pump gas now, but I remember what it was like pumping gas. I remember!” he said to laughter and applause.

    To laughter and applause. I wonder if he remembers pumping $4/gallon gas. That’s a little less funny than $1/gallon gas. Believe me. I’d like to see a picture of this Al Sharpton crowd who thought a president who used to pump his own gas is so damn funny.

    But you should go to the Patterico post about AP covering up the first quote in this post. Apparently AP is doing some creative editing to make the president seem a little more palatable.

    For the record, I picked this up at Ace of Spades.

  • The Walmart shopping experience

    Yeah, I wonder how hard you’d be laughing if it was you;

    Maryland man superglued to Walmart toilet: MyFoxBOSTON.com

    I’m pretty sure this will cause some copy-cats, cuz guys who do this sorta stuff have very little imagination.

    Thanks to Paul for the link.

  • Jimmy Janos on CNN

    I have no idea why the media pays this ignorant human being any attention. I’ve had more coherent discussions with winos;

    And stop calling him a Navy SEAL (he’s wearing the Tshirt, too). Asking him about SEAL operations is like asking me about Ranger operations, 35 years after I left the battalion – and I’ve never called myself a Ranger. I don’t know shit about what they do these days, or the weapons they use or even the language they use, so why is Piers Morgan asking him if SEAL Operations should remain a secret? What does Jimmy know?

  • Carter v1.0 still failing thirty years later

    Jimmy Carter stumbled through his presidency without any real foreign policy successes (besides hammering out a treaty that required US troop deployments to the Sinai Desert to keep Israel and Egypt separated). After his presidency, he had an aborted attempt at mediating for Clinton in Haiti and bribing North Korea just long enough for them to develop nuclear weapons under wraps.

    And now, even his bosom buddy and fellow traveler, octogenarians Fidel and Raul Castro consider him irrelevant;

    Carter spent hours talking about improving ties with brothers Raul and Fidel Castro, describing the latter as an “old friend.” He met with religious leaders and members of the island’s small opposition community, dined out at an atmospheric Old Havana restaurant and even sat down with family members of five Cuban agents serving long prison terms in the U.S.

    But when the 86-year-old ex-president flew off in the afternoon without Alan Gross on board, it dashed the hopes of Washington officials and relatives who had hoped Carter would be able to bring the Maryland native home.

    Yeah, the Castro brothers are probably holding out for substantive freebies from an actual government official instead of some old coot fresh off the turnip truck. And they’ll get what they want eventually because this administration is exactly like Carter’s administration – lots of pretty talk and no results.

  • Farrakhan and Moore attack on Libya attack

    Calypso Louie and Michael Moore are leading the anti-war fundraising crowd on the missile strikes on Libyan air defenses this weekend. Louie qants to know “Who the Hell so you think you are?”

    I warn my brother do you let these wicked demons move you in a direction that will absolutely ruin your future with your people in Africa and throughout the world…Why don’t you organize a group of respected Americans and ask for a meeting with Qaddafi, you can’t order him to step down and get out, who the hell do you think you are?

    It begins at 7:15 in this video;

    Meanwhile, The Hill reports that Michael Moore breathlessly Tweets that Obama=Bush

    Moore, a frequent critic of President Bush for launching the Iraq War, unleashed a string on tweets comparing the U.S. military’s mission in Libya to Iraq and Afghanistan, using a mantra coined by Charlie Sheen:

    It’s only cause we’re defending the Libyan people from a tyrant! That’s why we bombed the Saudis last wk! Hahaha. Pentagon=comedy

    And we always follow the French’s lead! Next thing you know, we’ll have free health care & free college! Yay war!

    We’ve had a “no-fly zone” over Afghanistan for over 9 yrs. How’s that going? #WINNING !

    Khadaffy must’ve planned 9/11! #excuses

    Khadaffy must’ve had WMD! #excusesthatwork

    Khadaffy must’ve threatened to kill somebody’s daddy! #daddywantedjeb

    Moore also suggested that Obama should return the Nobel Peace Prize he won in 2009:

    May I suggest a 50-mile evacuation zone around Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize? #returnspolicy

    How much koolaid do you have to drink to defend Qaddafi? Seriously.

  • US professor kidnapped in Mexico

    An American educator was kidnapped while visiting her mother this weekend according to Fox News;

    The American was identified as Veronica Perez Rodriguez, an archeologist at Northern Arizona University.

    A source at the Chihuahua state prosecutor’s office said she was visiting her mother in Ciudad Juarez Friday afternoon “and the moment she left her family’s house she was intercepted by armed men and deprived of her liberty.”

    The local Fox affiliate reports that if she’s not Japanese, the government doesn’t really care;

    Ivna Giauque with the Department of U.S. Consular Affairs told CNN they hadn’t been alerted about a kidnapping because they’ve been focused on the earthquake that hit Japan on Friday.

    How dare she get kidnapped during the media’s focus on Japan.

    ADDED: Oh, wait…she’s safe;

    School officials said Saturday that Veronica Perez Rodriguez was the victim of a kidnapping late Friday while visiting family members in Ciudad Juarez.

    They say Rodriguez’s colleagues have received e-mails from her saying that she’s OK and in the company of family members.

    Still…

  • Keeping Goldilocks Manning happy

    CBS Baltimore writes about the Marine Corps jumping through public relations hoops to keep the traitor Bradley Manning comfortable while he awaits trial in Quantico, VA;

    The Marine Corps says it has issued a suicide-proof sleeping garment to the imprisoned Army private suspected of giving classified material to WikiLeaks.

    Col. Thomas Johnson said Thursday that Pfc. Bradley Manning was given the smock Monday as a substitute for clothing that is removed each night from Manning’s cell at the brig in Quantico, Va.

    Manning says in a memo to base commander Col. Daniel Choike that the clothing-removal order on March 2 was punitive. He says the bulky smock is uncomfortable.

    Maybe they should give him big-eared bunny pajamas complete with warm little feeties. Would that make the big pussy happy. You can remember that he complained when issued blankets were too scatchy, then he complained that sleeping naked chilled his tiny bones, and now the smock is too bulky.

    I can only imagine Manning’s complaints about his too hot/too cold porridge.

  • Arrest in MLK Day bombing attempt

    Apparently, Spokane police have arrested a man in connection with that attempted bombing in Spokane on Martin Luther King, Jr Day. It was a backpack bomb placed near a parade route. The arrest was a 36-year-old “ex-soldier” named Kevin William Harpham. Of course the media jumps on the phone and calls Mark Potok;

    Potok said his organization’s records also indicate that Harpham was in the U.S. Army in 1996 and 1997, serving with the 37th Field Artillery Regiment at Fort Lewis.

    And, of course, the Left jumps to defend Potok’s and the Department of Homeland Security’s contention that veterans of the recent wars are likely to become terrorists. Except that Harpham was in the Army for a brief period well before the current wars began.

    All of you Redlegs out there raise your hands if you received training from the Army to make backpack bombs. Yeah, none of you. So this particular shitbag learned to make backpack bombs somewhere besides the Army.

    Somehow, Crooks and Liars thinks this vindicates Potok and the DHS. About as much as 88-year-old John von Brunn’s actions supported the “veteran-as-terrorist” fairy tale.

    So far, none of the veterans who’ve been accused of being terrorists have served in the current wars. So Potok and the DHS remain idiots.
