Bread & Circuses [Darleen Click]

Hey, just $35!

And it’s so nice that Obama has decided to actually show up at his Intel meetings now.

    Pay no attention to the Justice Department Inspector General’s testimony before the House Committee on Government Oversight. There’s nothing to see there save evidence of your highest Justice Department officials lying to the people. No biggie. Just business as usual.

    In the last 24 hrs his campaign has co-opted both the US flag AND the pledge of allegiance – that’s what all those celebs are doing in tweeted photos of themselves with their hands over their hearts. Nothing is sacred – no US citizen (e.g., ambassadors or our military), no US symbol. We need to get this psycho out of office.

    Those five red streaks look suspiciously like the bloody fingerprints on the wall from the embassy in Benghazi.

    DOJ Attorney General Eric Holder said he will not take any corrective action in his agency in response to the failed operation until his agency has reviewed the report.

    So he can’t know what went on in his own department until the IG tells him. Fire him yesterday.

    So he can’t know what went on in his own department until the IG tells him

    …what he and his deputies weren’t able to cover up effectively.

    FTFY.

    The streaks of the bloody hand print and the 5 streaks of red in Obama flag is just sickening.

    I remember the days when I doubted myself because all my “cool” and “intellectual” friends were voting for Obama.

    Seeing that picture reminds me just how far we’ve come. Keep dancing with that naked emperor guys. It has nothing to do with why we don’t hang out any more, really.

    Re: Obama now attending his National Security briefings. Didn’t Mitt start receiving the briefings this week? He probably just didn’t want Mitt to be doing something he isn’t – it’s clearly not important to him otherwise.

    It turns out your were the adult in the room, William.

    Now, just resist the urge to say “I told you so”. At least don’t say it too often. ; )

    Being the grown-up is the new hip.

    Says I, by cracky.

  12. McGehee says September 20, 2012 at 9:18 am

    …and a new hip is something us grown-ups could use from time to time.

  13. leigh says September 20, 2012 at 9:20 am

    It’s hip to be square, McGehee.

    Hughie Lewis said so years ago.

  14. William says September 20, 2012 at 9:57 am

    We lost a lot when being cool become doing the most drugs on your parent’s bank account.

    And I wish I could, Leigh. But they’d just go “What do you mean? Don’t you watch ABC News? Obama’s doing great! I’d just wish he’d stop compromising with those mean Republicans.”

    It’s not so much the Democrat platform that frustrates me as it is the ignorance of the true modern situation. Just like the Republican thought of “Never saying what you mean, because it might scare people.”

  15. Car in says September 20, 2012 at 10:32 am

    William, you need to find a new group of friends.

  16. Car in says September 20, 2012 at 10:36 am

    It’s not so much the Democrat platform that frustrates me as it is the ignorance of the true modern situation. Just

    That reminds me of a conversation I had with my husband earlier today. He often asks me the question of “What would it take for people to turn on Obama?” Unemployment sucks, he didn’t close gitmo, Libya, the debt, etc. Could he MURDER someone?

    Basically, what it is about TODAY’s voters that they don’t get? Shitty unemployements doomed every other guy – why not Obama?

    I told him that the Media – right now – has unprecedented (hate that word) power. It used to just be the news shows. But it’s everywhere now. Their “message” is absolutely everywhere, and coming at people from all angles. Radio, music, tv shows, broadway plays, every bit of the internet.

    Never have so many people had the false belief of being informed.

  17. Car in says September 20, 2012 at 10:38 am

    Someone should do a cartoon picture of Obama’s “flag” being created by the ambassador’s hands.

    Hard hitting? You bet.

  18. William says September 20, 2012 at 10:43 am

    I think it’s a little more than that, Car. We were the richest, most successful Nation on Earth. The decline of rich nations is the classic bankruptcy “Slowly, then quickly.”

    We have beautiful buildings… that no one can afford. Employers are terrified that if they’re honest about their situation, they’ll be sued by overly eager lawyers. Switching from a Manufacturing country to a Service country is difficult to trace when you’re still importing goods.

    To sum: the one thing we don’t have from 1979 is gas lines. We have high gas prices, but not gas lines. That’s the shock to the gut people need.

    Anyway, happy ending for me. I did find new friends, and the only old friends I still have are the ones that admit they’re not informed so are willingly to listen to me, even if they don’t believe me.

    Carin, from your keyboard to Ramirez’ easel.

  21. Car in says September 20, 2012 at 11:35 am

    I had him in mind, Leigh.

  22. charlesaustin says September 20, 2012 at 11:42 am

    All one would have to do is photoshop the iconic Obama O on that wall just below and to the left of the top set of blood smears, if one were so inclined.

  23. John Bradley says September 20, 2012 at 11:49 am

    Could he MURDER someone?

    That wouldn’t do it, either. See this Onion bit from 2009, but tell me it couldn’t have been written today in response to the events of the last week.

  24. Car in says September 20, 2012 at 12:02 pm

    Charles – a drawing would be much more poignant. IMHO. I can see it in my head,

    But if I tried, it would look like stick figures. Which works for that Oatmeal guy.
