Sellebrity Saturday: Bill Maher and Janeane Garofalo

The vid is entitled "John Fund is a Total Idiot." This might say more about Bill Maher's ever-shrinking audience that has been distilled of all but the Obotomicized, than it does about John Fund's intellect.

Granted, Fund could have handled himself a little better but keep in mind he is being hit in stereo. That was the same formula Maher used to use on "Politically Incorrect." Maher and three panelists would attack the token Christian or conservative or non-Hollywood guest. I have to admit I used to like that show but that is another topic for another time.

It would have been nice if Fund would have asked the Mensa group member to his right to clarify her falsehoods about deregulation. Deregulation is not in Bush's DNA, he was never a deregulator and it would be wonderful to clarify this once and for all. But it can be hard to concentrate when two enraged women are yipping and yapping in each ear.

OH TO BE AS BRILLIANT AS BILL AND JANEANE

Frigid Friday: Cap and Trade

If it were not for the health care fix-with-sledge-hammer debate, we would hear more about the potential horrors of cap and trade. It is part of the Obama playbook to fast track legislation before the issue can be discussed. Who gives a damn about the fine print?

I consider cap and trade a more destructive measure than the Kevorkian-inspired health care reform. It is more insidious than health care contamination. It is not a kitchen table/water cooler issue. But this issue will have its day in the sun. Mmm hmmm. I can hardly wait.

PLEASE BOOKMARK THIS ISSUE AND REFER BACK AFTER WE DISCUSS HEALTH CARE

Variations on a Theme

All of the following bumper stickers are available on ebay. Sorry that we don't have the URL's handy. We like the "Keep the Change Theme" but we like this first bumper sticker even more.

KEEP THE CHANGE!











Ronald Reagan, 1961

I think of Ronald Reagan as an overrated president who ran huge deficits every year for eight consecutive years. But his warning about socialized medicine in 1961 seems oddly prophetic.

Barney Frank 2005. Denies Housing Bubble

AREN'T YOU GLAD HE'S NOT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISER?

Berg Redux

Philip Berg has reprinted an article from a local newspaper about Philip Berg. I don't if Berg believes the US faked the moon landing but he is a proponent of the other two stupidest conspiracy theories in the world: 1. Al Gore won Florida and 2. 911 was an inside job. In short, he is a bit nutty. But Berg does bring up something interesting that the media often ignore. That is, even if Obama was born in Hawaii, his mother and step-father might have later on squandered his citizenship by making him an Indonesian citizen. In my amateur opinion, that would be the easier case to make and win. Berg is not giving up.

Check out the local story on Berg, that happens to provide a concise, if hostile, overview of the Birther movement.
