Today: American Environmentalists Turn Giant Lizards into Maneaters.

Also, Guess Who the Activists for Global Change Think Should Get the $Billion$ Obama Wants to Spend to "End Global Poverty." If you guessed "Advocates for Global Change," you guessed right!

“This agency or mechanism should be governed by a board of ethicists, religious leaders, artists, writers, social theorists, philosophers, economists, scientists, and social-change activists, all of whom have demonstrated in the ways that they have lived their lives and conducted their public affairs that they give higher priority to the well-being of others than the well-being of the corporate or wealthy elite.”

Looks like Obama is loosing his luster even among the left.

And things aren't looking so good at the polls, either - Rasmussen:

The Democratic National Convention has begun and the poll numbers are bouncing, but not in the direction that most people anticipated.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Barack Obama attracting 44% of the vote while John McCain also earns 44%. When "leaners" are included, it’s still tied with Obama at 46% and McCain at 46%. Yesterday, with leaners, Obama had a three-point advantage over McCain

The more people get to know Obama the less they like him.

Im not a huge McCain fan, but at least McCain isnt a hard core Marxist. He would be ok as a place holder until 2012. Hopefully he will pick a great VP in case ---- ya know -- he is pretty old.

Why he continues to let his Marxist wife speak publicly anymore is beyond me...

Massachussetts: Obamunism's Petri Dish. An inexperienced, progressive politician raises taxes, feathers his own nest, and grows government while the state collapses fiscally.

More on that:

This year’s state budget included a whopping $16 billion in new debt — that’s more than half the state’s entire annual budget. And that’s just the new debt. Massachusetts taxpayers were already carrying the highest debt burden per capita in the nation. But that hasn’t slowed down Gov. Patrick.


As the Boston Herald reported this week, Gov. Patrick has added nearly 2,000 new state employees to the payroll after 18 months in office. He’s also raised his own office’s budget by 80 percent in a year — not even gas prices jumped as fast.

And one of his pet projects is a $1 billion state “investment” in life sciences, a program using tax dollars to fund projects and facilities to benefit multi-billion dollar drug companies like Wyeth and Genzyme.

You’ll be stunned to learn that executives from these companies are Patrick supporters.

I can't believe that no one has yet put together a video of The Obamessiah's campaign theme song... He IS from "Chicago" (at least recently). If we had a clip with Obama's head photoshopped onto Richard Gere's body, it'd be freakin' hilarious.

I particularly love the line, "How can they hear the truth above the roar?"

For those not into show tunes:

Razzle Dazzle (film version, performed by Gere)

--------------


Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting ?

Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll never catch wise!


Give 'em the old razzle dazzle

Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous
Row after row will grow vociferous


Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture 'em
How can they hear the truth above the roar?

Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,

Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!


Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They let ya get away with a murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

Give 'em the old
Razzle dazzle

Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act that's unassailable
They'll wait a year 'til your available!


Give 'em the old
Double whammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are

Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you got no talents?


Razzle dazzle 'em

Razzle dazzle 'em

Razzle dazzle 'em

And they'll make you a star!

You may have seen the posters at the DNC that supporters held that read: "Common Values Common Purpose"

Surprise surprise, Common Purpose is European communist community organizers group:

Obama just can't seem to avoid the Marxists.

Wow, I can almost forgive Kid Rock for wearing the US Flag at the Superboal halftime show.

Some good one liners in this one.

"Because at the end of the day," he goes on to say, "I'm good at writing songs and singing. What I'm not educated in is the field of political science.

Norway: Welfare State gone bad. The same failure is coming to the Obamanation soon!

“Lae is distressed and says the situation flies in the face of Norway's image as a prosperous welfare state.”

But....it will only get worse, like Chicago....

"It doesn't help to punish these people, we need to help those who are in such a poor social situation,"
