Hey, that's not fair. I was hanging curtains this weekend. But that was after I was done splitting firewood.

I've long maintained David Horowitz's former days as a leftist are still showing, and now, on the basis of his own words, here's good proof: Obama Derangement Syndrome.

The money quote and closing quote:

Let's leave that kind of behavior to the liberals who invented it.

Hey, David, think on this: "We're better than them" is an epitaph, not a word of praise.

And the antidote, for conservatives who've had enough:

Time to Get Mean?, by C. Edmund Wright, on The American Thinker.

The best attire for conservatives is a coat maide of RINO hide. ;-)

The fun part of the Barry photo is there is an "EXIT" sign over that window. Not only that, it is NOT lighted, which it must be according to the LAW.

Not only that, it is NOT lighted, which it must be according to the LAW.

Law? Barry doesn't GaD about the law. WTF do you think he's been doing to the Constitution? He damn sure isn't worried about OSHA laws.

Wow, who would have thought hanging curtains would give someone "chiseled pecs" that can make a grown reporter swoon!

AssKicker, AssKicker, pansy.

Bill Maher sinks to all-time low... reaches for shovel.

What a girly-man. I bet he got beat up all the time when he was a kid. I hope so anyway.

The picture is too funny!!! Baldeagle, you get a pass since you split firewood first.

VtheK, the comments in response to your link are all panning that tool.

Points for juxtaposition. GWB looks good. Must have been early in the first term. Now how about some pix of Reagan reading off a Teleprompter?

Finally, a job Obama is qualified to do. If we could only keep him busy hanging curtains for the next four years...

Thanks, I laughed.

wow, GREAT photo. I might have to print that one out.

Mr. Obama Goes To Europe

Recall those pictures from last July as candidate Barack Obama strode like a mighty colossus across Europe, regaling up to 200,000 screaming fans with his never-defined promises of change and with paid rock bands brought in to entertain the plebians?

Well, some of his plans for change have now been defined and millions here and abroad don’t like the looks of the definitions. The relatively heady days of 2008 have been supplanted with worldwide financial spasms and we are now residents of a world far different from last July.

Those ecstatic hordes of European fans greeted an Elvis-reborn, the political equivalent of a rock star, a potential new kind of American leader who promised a new and different future. They would have gone bonkers for virtually anyone who promised an end to the 8 years of misery many Europeans felt they and the planet had endured under George W. Bush. Those Obamaniacs may turn out again but their gusto may be tempered by doubts that Obama is not all he seemed to be seven months ago.

Last year, Obama wanted to ice his Berlin cake with a speech at the Brandenburg Gate, perhaps to repeat JFK’s memorable words of 45 years earlier, “Ich bin ein Berliner,” or, “I am a jelly donut,” in German slang, but he was denied that overreaching presumption. In a few days, when he speaks at the G-20 confab in London, Obama will be lucky to get a cup of tepid tea and a stale crumpet.

Had President Ronald Reagan–and Pope John Paul II–not succeeded in having Mr. Gorbachev “tear down that wall,” Obama most assuredly would have put in an appearance at the Berlin Wall, which for decades divided the free West from the enslaved East Germany. Candidate Obama, absent his teleprompter, might have delivered an inspiring oration and could have incorporated these memorable words: “Messrs. Putin and Medvedev, the world would really like you to consider, umm, y’know, maybe putting a gate in that wall there, ya know, the one behind me. Or, maybe, umm, setting a gate timetable, or something.”

But history denied him that opportunity in 2008 and will in 2009 which is regrettable since his German fans would have lapped it up, just as Hitler’s brownshirts lapped up his inspirational words 70 years ago. As a reminder of when Germans last idolized a rock star, take a listen here to how Der Fuehrer could stoke a crowd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KgJQUXr2Ws.

Now, God forbid, I am not in any way comparing Obama to Hitler. For one thing, Hitler didn’t rely on a teleprompter, for another Obama is not a card-carrying member of the “Master Race” and, for a third, Adolph referred to Negroes as “half apes” in Mein Kampf. That would make Obama a “quarter ape,” in Hitler’s mind. Nevertheless, there are definite similarities in the semi-hysterical enthusiasm of their audiences.

As Mister Obama prepares for a triumphant European reprise, this time as President of the United States and, not incidentally, Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces and reputed, unofficial Leader of the Free World, he may be in for a radically different reception from 2008. His “Euros for Obama Fan Club” may be in full swing but the bloom is off his wilted rose in many European seats of power.

I will leave analysis of Obama’s sudden fall from grace among the grand poobahs of Europe to scholars and future historians, a decline which has been almost as precipitous as his meteoric rise to prominence.

And fall he has, especially as contrasted with the baseless accolades heaped on him . . .

Coolidge wore a TIE while fishing and you could see Roosevelt's toothpick-thin legs when he swam; but they still looked more MANLY than BO.

KHarn - nice bipartisan historical examples. BHO should have known better than to accept that task at the photo-op. Who's advising him, Michael "the Tank" Dukakis? John "the Speedo" Kerry?

Cold disables Prince Chuckles' Arctic team's GPS, so they have to navigate using... WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR

Funded by the World Wildlife Fund and Prince Charles, the Catlin Arctic Expedition is trekking 700 miles to the North Pole to measure ice thickness.

Since the cold temperatures have disabled GPS instruments and proximity to magnetic North has confounded compasses, the researchers navigate using the position of the Sun, when it can be seen, and wind direction as indicated by a pair of lacy panties attached to a ski pole.

Olbermann really is tweetier than twitter

On Thursday, Twitter was atwitter and blogs were abuzz about Keith Olbermann’s embarrassing “Worst Person” fail, following a post by Greg Pollowitz at National Review Online highlighting the hilarity. Olbermann named Twitter his “Worst Person in the World” because he mistakenly believed he wasn’t on Twitter. He was. So I thought I’d do something that Olbermann’s entire staff consistently fails to do: research.

The first lapse in research you already know about. Keith predicated his entire segment on the notion that he had no Twitter account, therefore the account in his name was fraudulent. Of course, it wasn’t true. MSNBC ran the Twitter account in Keith’s name. But believe me, this is only the beginning of an epic fail.

One of the fathers of modern physics denounces global warming doomsaying

Dyson has discovered himself variously described as “a pompous twit,” “a blowhard,” “a cesspool of misinformation,” “an old coot riding into the sunset” and, perhaps inevitably, “a mad scientist.” Dyson had proposed that whatever inflammations the climate was experiencing might be a good thing because carbon dioxide helps plants of all kinds grow. Then he added the caveat that if CO2 levels soared too high, they could be soothed by the mass cultivation of specially bred “carbon-eating trees,”

Dyson is a scientist whose intelligence is revered by other scientists — William Press, former deputy director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and now a professor of computer science at the University of Texas, calls him “infinitely smart.” Dyson — a mathematics prodigy who came to this country at 23 and right away contributed seminal work to physics by unifying quantum and electrodynamic theory — not only did path-breaking science of his own; he also witnessed the development of modern physics, thinking alongside most of the luminous figures of the age, including Einstein, Richard Feynman, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, Hans Bethe, Edward Teller, J. Robert Oppenheimer and Edward Witten, the “high priest of string theory” whose office at the institute is just across the hall from Dyson’s.

Dyson is well aware that “most consider me wrong about global warming.” That educated Americans tend to agree with the conclusion about global warming reached earlier this month at the International Scientific Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen (“inaction is inexcusable”) only increases Dyson’s resistance. Dyson may be an Obama-loving, Bush-loathing liberal who has spent his life opposing American wars and fighting for the protection of natural resources, but he brooks no ideology and has a withering aversion to scientific consensus.
