Over 23000 pages of Sarah Palin’s e-mails were released June 10 2011, covering her years a Governor up to her selection as Vice President. Washington Post called for volunteers to help them dig up dirt. What did they find? Nothing, except more than 13000 e-mails without anything embarrassing, all produced in a time span of 2 years. Who, if any can duplicate that? After reading a few of the e-mails I came away with the impression: This is exactly the executive I would like to work for: demanding, no nonsense, inspiring, compassionate, organized and clear.
Study: Independence Day teaches children to be Republicans By Devin Brown July 1, 2011 (Credit: Cliff Owen) (CBS/What’s Trending) – Can celebrating the Fourth of July turn you into a Republican? A recent Harvard University study concludes holiday celebrations have a large impact into what shapes a child culturally, socially and politically. Case in point, the 4th of July.
According to the study, there is a direct link between a child’s participation in the national holiday and that same child’s subsequent voting, party identification and party contribution habits. Here is the breakdown.
According to the study, a successful Independence Day, more specifically one without rain, before the age of 18 raises the likelihood of identifying as a Republican by two percent.
Obama said in mid July 2011 “I’ll be turning fifty in one week”. According to his “Birth Certificate” his official birthday was not until Aug 4. Maybe he was born a few weeks earlier in Kenya? Be that as it may, if he doesn’t get an increase in the debt ceiling he does not know if the Social Security checks can be paid. This is my interpretive Limerick of what he really meant:
It was the 20th of July 1969 and my wife and I had been in the U.S. for a little over a year. We were sitting in the living room watching the moon landing and saw real live feed from the moon. President Nixon said in for him an unusally excited voice “This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation.” Well, those were the days:
And here is the limerick:
Forty-two years ago was “a small step for man”
Too bad as a nation we no longer can.
As NASA deserts us
And “science” perverts us
We are in retreat with no sensible plan.
A Chinese official kicked off an international robotics conference in Shanghai by confirming China plans to send a robot to the moon within two years and aims to bring a lunar sample home by 2017.
“I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it,” Mr. Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, according to excerpts released by CBS News.
Mr. President!
Will seniors get paid? Your excuse never ends.
You squandered the trust fund to pay off your friends.
The logic coming from the left never ceases to amaze me. How did they equate Republicans with terrorists?
The only way I can come up with for now goes like this: A few months ago, a Norwegian, Anders Behring Brevik bombed a Norwegian government building in Oslo, much like the Oklahoma City bomber, but unlike Timothy McVeigh he did not flee, but killed a large number of youth in a social democratic political indoctrination camp, wanting to be captured alive so he could forward his political ideology, documented in a 1500+ page manifesto.
NY Times immediately declared he was a “radical right wing fundamentalist Christian”. In his manifesto he stated he was a culturally conservative agnostic, advocating respect for Norway’s Viking and Christian heritage .
When that didn’t work the Daily Mail (U.K.) noted that he advocated a European version of the Tea Party, which is supported by Sarah Palin.
Here is the logical chain: Anders Brevik is a terrorist. He advocates a Tea Party. Ergo: All tea party supporters are terrorists.
John McCain quoted the Wall street Journal on the Senate floor and called the tea party supporters Hobbits. The thoughts led to the following Limerick:
One of President Obama’s pet green companies has filed for bankruptcy.
After millions in subsidies the 135 remaining people were laid off. Watching a bankruptcy process unfold is like watching the slow death of a company. Evergreen Solar, which announced the bankruptcy filing back in August, has sold is core assets for $6 million and some shares of the buyer, China Private Equity Investment Holdings. Evergreen Solar is really bankrupt Got millions in subsidies – all is corrupt. Many green jobs were lost – went to China – at cost. Get rid of Obama! The ante is upped.
