“And remember, I can do whatever I want. I have a majority in both houses of Congress.” [Darleen Click]
SNL dips its big-toe into the pond of mocking The Once. B- because while the writing is funny the actor never makes an effort to capture Barry’s talking cadence or tics. More bad news for “I want a public option” Obama — people want to keep their private insurance. Sanity in Hollywood courtesy Chris Rock. NPR discovers Women who hunt, oh about a year behind everyone else. First they came for the guns, then they came for the knives, now they come for the bar glasses.

The opening of SNL. Nice. How was that wreckfish for dinner Mr. President?
Comment by happyfeet on 10/4 @ 12:06 pm #
See that’s exactly the find of fascist nonsense you get when you have dirty socialist ACORN-style healthcare. You aren’t allowed to drink out of a glass. Stupid cheesy denutted solo cup sipping wankers. London is fags. Except frankmusik.

Actually it may be incidents like this one that is leading to no more bar glasses.

Chris Rock has always been one of the saner comics out there.
Comment by Joe on 10/4 @ 12:17 pm #
Chris Rock nails it with Leno. That is exactly how I feel.
I mean, WTF do you have to do if you are famous to get convicted of anything? They are all above the law. Even Crazy Ass Phil Spector had to be tried twice for shooting his girlfriend.
Except for Wesley Snipes. You get fucked if you do not pay your taxes. And Martha Stewart. Because she got caught lying to feds and they love to fuck you on that. Just ask Scooter.

I made what I believe will be an exceptional special bitter last night. Doubled the grain (vienna malt), added some extra liquid malt, threw in a couple of pounds of honey at the end of the boil, and doubled the aroma hops ta boot.

Andrew Sullivan is using this to make fun of Palin (what a shocker) but I am sure this Australian has a future with the Obama Administration.
Why did we lose the Olympic Bid? Well the front fell off?
Comment by Ric Locke on 10/4 @ 1:10 pm #
Joe: exactly. Obama’s always been a front man. Now he has to do the work he used to front for, and he’s not up to it.
He reminds me of me. Whatever good qualities I may have, you do not want me as President of the United States.

Ric
Comment by Rickbert on 10/4 @ 1:19 pm #
I’m curious, did you mean to type ‘The Once’ instead of ‘The One’? I can’t help but think it appropriate these days, even if unintentional. I take my accuracy where I can find it.
Comment by sdferr on 10/4 @ 1:24 pm #
Rickbert, I believe the Once to have been coined by PeterUK over at JustOneMinute round a month or so ago, though it makes so much good sense, it may well have been independently discovered by any number of people at or around the same time.
Comment by Darleen on 10/4 @ 1:26 pm #

What sdferr said. I didn’t coin it, but it is too good not to use.

Barrett’s article thingy is up.
Comment by McGehee on 10/4 @ 1:29 pm #
I’ve noticed another riff off of “The One,” in which people had begun referring to Obama as “The Zero” or variations on that theme.
And since Copenhagen I’ve also seen “The -1.”
Of course, if we go by Rasmussen there might orta be a different number after that negative sign…

Chris Rock takes the common sense, puts it up against conventional wisdom, and asks ‘WTF’?
His ‘How Not To Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police’ is classic common sense. “Playing ‘F@*^ the Police’ while being stopped by the police is just ignerent.”

You would not want me as POTUS either. Strafing and rocketing the Sundance Film Festival with Vietnam era helicopters would be just the start. Playing ‘Ride of the Valkyrie’ and the segueing to ‘Garryowen’ while doing so would just make it ever-so-special.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 10/4 @ 2:45 pm #
#25 SBP – That was exactly my reference. And here is a tip – at night, pullover and turn the interior light on. Keep your hands on the wheel. Lower the window when the officer comes to the car. Tell him what you are going to do. No sudden moves.
My older brother is a sheriff’s deputy. He told me these things make the officer feel more secure. Once, I was pulled over for speeding (I was). I told the officer that my wallet was in my coat pocket in the backseat and told him that I was going to get that wallet.
So much common sense stops bad things from happening.

“More bad news for “I want a public option” Obama — people want to keep their private insurance.”
How is that bad news? The reform bill is built on existing private insurance and maybe 5% of Americans would qualify for a public option. It’s called an “option” for a reason. It’s not an either/or scenario. The public option and private insurance will both be available. That’s what most people want.

And yet he’s still 35+ points less popular that George Bush was at the same point in his presidency. Right, poptart?
Comment by Ric Locke on 10/4 @ 3:52 pm #
No hate here. In fact, I’m getting nostalgic for the days when I lived in California and thought I was getting somewhere.
And in an odd sort of left(heh!)-handed way, I’m beginning to feel a little sorry for Barack. Yes, his approval ratings are still moderately high, though they are dropping, but where they are now is strictly a matter of publicity — he’s constantly before the public eye, he looks good and talks purty, and whether or not there’s such a thing as bad publicity all he’s getting outside the circles of wonks and politikers is good.
Trouble is, it’s a Red Queen’s race. I can’t believe that Meet the Press would have him on every Sunday, and he’s running out of public venues to make speeches glorifying his glorious self. If he ever stops, disappears from the direct public eye the way Bush didn’t mind doing, Criswell Predicts that his ratings will drop like a rock, so he has to run as hard as he can to stay in the same place.
Regards,
Ric

Comment by Joe on 10/4 @ 4:21 pm #
I saw another telling statistic the other day: for the first time ever, among children in the US under five years old, less than 50% are white.
That is only if you think people Soladad O’Brian, Emilo Estavez, and Benjamin Bratt are not “white”, but not that it really matters. I could care less if people are black, Latino, Indian (east), etc. Black population growth is flat due to abortion (yet it only seems conservatives seem to care about that). Our biggest immigration is from Latin America and while some are black, most would be closer to call caucasian or caucasian-native american. The issue that really matters is not racial, but assimilation.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

Well, let’s see… the last time I bought any advertising I think I was paying about $3.00/thousand impressions, and I don’t think that’s gone up (quite the contrary, in fact).
T/S doesn’t publish a rate card, but let’s say they’re so uber-elite that they can charge $5.00 CPM. So T/S might’ve brought in two or three bucks, of which some portion (I’m betting a very small one) would go on to Barrett. ‘Feets knows a lot more about this sort of thing than I do — maybe he can give us a better estimate.
But wow, some people will sell their self-respeact really cheap nowadays, won’t they?

I am glad people are blaming a politician who is no longer on the national stage.

Of course the real meat in that poll is “down six points since mid-May”.
Now, what do you think it’s going to be in November 2010, NippleNut?
Hey, where’s that free “health care”? How’s that coming along? You losers are too incompetent to pass a bill when you have a majority in both houses and the Presidency. You think the voters are going to fail to notice this by the midterms, no matter how many Vogue photoshoots Obama does?

Denny’s? Why bother with that? I hadn’t made any allusion as to location, figuring you yourself had the capacity to prepare such a simple meal at home, thus to rid yourself of your bad temper but if you choose to eat out at a restaurant, I say, welcome to it.
Comment by McGehee on 10/4 @ 7:36 pm #
There are two things false in this statement. SBP has responded to the first.
The second is, presidents don’t “take control.” Nor, by the way, do they “run the country.” Even competent presidents who know what they’re doing (which rules out Obama) only get to oversee the operation of the executive branch of the United States government, a far more modest task.
Obama undoubtedly thinks he’s capable of “taking control of America” or “running the country,” but it is about as illustrative an example of reach exceeding grasp as any I’ve ever seen. He’s not even up to the job of overseeing the operation of a household trash compactor.
Comment by ChrisP on 10/4 @ 7:36 pm #
“Obama’s done plenty since he took control of America.”
He “took Control”?
WTF are you thinking? He’s done / accomplished NOTHING!
Is GITMO closed?
Are we out of Iraq?
Has socialized medicine passed?
Have invaded Pakistan and captured/killed UBL?
What, exactly, has he accomplished?
He couldn’t even get the Olympics for his buddies in Chicago!
He has an overwhelming majority in congress and could pass his socialized health-care in a Chicago minute, but he will not, as he would “Own It” and he is not willing to take responsibility for anything.
He’s an empty suit playing the role of president. He’s got nothin’.
He’s a loser.
You Won, honey. Deal with it.

You may be psychotic enough to keep sucking the dick of a man who just can’t deliver, but you can bet that the voters aren’t.

Oh, did I mention it would likely be purchased by a non-union automaker? Non-Union, like the thriving Nissan North America plant here in Smyrna, and the new VW plant under construction in Chattanooga, at the old Volunteer Ordinance Works facility there.

It’ll be hard to get our economic house in order by 2010, especially with pressure from the Left for new and expanded social programs. And now we’ve seen that Obama isn’t as well-liked overseas as he had hoped. We can’t count on the dollar being kept as the reserve country forever; all it would take to lose everything and the US becoming a third-world dump would be, say, Saudi Arabia deciding that China could be their new protector. Then, yanked from being the reserve standard, the dollar would plummet to nothingness, and Hello! Zimbabwe.
The U.S., without a manufacturing base (driven overseas by, yes, Democrat’s Unions and assorted environmental regulations and every sort of tax that Democrats could imagine, oh, and the stifling social programs let’s not forget those) we could not even feed ourselves.

I don’t know why you feel it necessary to blather to yourself. However, it should be noted that in counting the “Jewish” vote … since being a Jew is not like being a Mormon. In America, most Jews are NOT religious. They designate themselves as Jewish due to heritage or ethnicity. There are even Jewish atheists.
Indeed, there are anti-Israel “Jews” who want to see Israel destroyed (see Chomsky for one)
Secular Jews are majority Democrats, liberals and leftists. The more religious Jews are not. Unless a poll makes that distinction it is less then useless.
In Israel, Obama’s approval is in single digits.

Fox News has high ratings but compared to all of the other ‘real networks’ combined (ABC+CBS+NBC+CNN+MSNBC), they’re audience is small and comprised of a very narrow demographic: generally old and white.
I don’t mean to be picky, but this statement is wrong in every regard, and that’s discounting the unfortunate use of the contraction of “they are” instead of the possessive “belonging to them.”
A quick look at TV By The Numbers shows that Fox’s audience is actually comparable to its competitors combined. For Sept 25th, for example, Fox had viewership of 391,000 on the day, while CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, and Headline News combined for 500,000. At primetime, the numbers were 660,000 and 754,000.
What’s more, these numbers are for the 25-54 age demographic. Now, you may argue that the under-25 crowd doesn’t watch Fox, and you may be right. But you can’t say that the 25-54 demographic is exactly the one-foot-in-the-grave crowd. Similarly, you can argue that network news isn’t covered in this ratings poll, but I seriously doubt that the networks’ viewership skews young.
The racial argument I won’t get into, because 1) the TV By The Numbers doesn’t have that data, and 2) I think most people, black or white, tend to act like individuals rather than monolithic blocs. Being as your arguments tend toward the statist side of things, you may disagree.

You too spies. You’re only half way there. You got the anti-semite part down, but haven’t yet learned how to divide up the jews for your uses.
Come on join the celebration. But realize it is not on sept 28th every year.

Ask your jewish friends. They love to explain this stuff to tolerant understanding peoples like yourself.

Sure thing, SFAG.

P.S. maybe you should ask your Jewish friends (if any, which seems highly unlikely) whether your stupid, fascist, anti-Semitic self is entitled to speak for them.

Oh, and SFAG? Friday is Leif Erickson Day.
I for one am going to be highly offended if your stupid, fascist, anti-Semitic self destroys the dignity of the holiday by running your stupid, fascist, anti-Semitic mouth.
On the other hand this is also Mental Illness Awareness Week and today is Mad Hatter Day, so maybe you’re entitled to a pass.
BTW, got anything to say about SNL’s catalog of Obama failures?
Didn’t think so.

You use them for your political ends while discounting their self-identification as useless
No, that would be you, SFAG.
No-one will mistake you as a being jewish./I>
But everyone knows you’re an anti-Semitic fascist.
Sorry.

I see we have reached the pinnacle of your commenting abilities.
Translation: you have no response.
As usual.
P.S. just because today is National German-American Day doesn’t mean you get to give free rein to your Judenhass.

Here’s to gearing up for passing VAWA in 2010!
Better start figuring an angle where it gives lots of payoffs to greasy union thugs.
‘Cause that’s pretty much the only thing Obama’s done so far.
Got your student loans paid off yet, SFAG? Any sign of the free gas and mortgage payments?
Obama is cornholing you and your fellow cafe commies, sweetie. And you’re smiling and saying “Thank you, sir! May I have another?”

Yeah, I don’t get why Republicans hate Obama so much. It’s not like he’s done anything different than Bush.
We still have warrantless wiretapping, the Patriot Act is still law, we still can torture enemy combatants at Guantanamo, you can still be declared an enemy combatant by the government if you ever act against the government no matter what they do, we still have the Bush/Paulson/Obama/Geitner bailouts going on, nobody is being prosecuted in the financial sector no matter how many billions they’ve stolen, Goldman Sachs still controls our economy, Halliburton is still screwing soldiers, paid murderers/mercenries/”contractors” are stillin Iraq, the US is still hinting that they “might have to attack Iran” and somehow managing never to bring up Dimona or Mordechai Vanunu and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are still going on.
Didn’t the Republicans love all this under Bush? Isn’t this what McCain stood for?
Oh wait, I know, the fake promises of national health care that will never, ever pass, I guess that’s why Republicans are so angry. That the president is now telling different lies than the last president did.
Yes, that’s a reason to hate him, I guess.
Good thing nobody voted for those crazy nuts like Ron Paul or Mike Gravel. They would have stopped lying to you, told you *gasp* some truth and actually done something different. Great to be in the former USA where every 4 years you get to chose between Fascists or Communists to ruin, I mean run, your nation. It’s not as if the only difference between the parties is rhetoric or something and voters are just mindless idiots pulling levers not even bothering to find out who is running or checking senate records, like when Obama voted to renew the Patriot Act, or when Obama openly talked about the “need to attack” Iran in 2006, etc.
God forbid, people actually go through the trouble of learning anything about their representatives before they vote for them. Just listen to tee-vee and talk radio. We all know they present all the facts before you. That’s why you all know what bills are being passed into law today, and why you know precisely what in bills like the Patriot Act.
RIGHT?

“Translation: you have no response.”
Indeed I said I cannot top ‘no you.’
“Yes, that’s a reason to hate him, I guess.”
He’s too uppit- I mean arrogant.

Meya,
You are precisely the type of idiot in this nation that allows government to run all over you. Because you think the opposite of a Democratic policy is a Republican, and vice versa, instead of recognizing they have the same policies and different rhetoric/issues to get elected.
There is no difference between Obama and Bush, they are both equally awful, and since you think that parties, instead of people. represent different things, we’re trapped in this cycle because. Not only are idiots everywhere that are too lazy to do the necessary research to find out who they are voting for, they are too dumb to admit they’ve made a mistake and these idiots, idiots like you, vote in large mindless numbers.
You will always support “front runners”, and front runners are defined entirely by our media.
Even when it’s spelled out for you by a comedy show (of course, that’s they only way you can be reached is through television, you don’t know how to use the Internet for it’s intended purpose – research) you still don’t realize that you’ve been played for a sucker, and you are a sucker. Obama hasn’t changed a thing since Bush left office, and National Health Care, that wasn’t even an issue in the 2008 election, National Health Care is a canard. It’s something to keep idiot Democrats and idiot Republicans at their throats, as government continues to bankrupt the nation.
You’re not going to give a shit about gay marriage, about gays in the military, or abortion when the country collapses. Just like no Democrat is going to give a shit about national health care, or gays in the military, or flag burning, or school prayer when the nation goes insolvent. These are not issues.
MONEY – that’s an issue. Everything Bush did, just cost tons of money, and it costs money not because the government believes in these programs, it’s because the people who are the real power in this nation, are fleecing it, just prior to bankruptcy, just as the politburo in the USSR did, prior to it’s collapse.
