  1. The translation of Obama’s name using simplified google translator is: ( If you want to see the Chinese characters you need the East Asia character set loaded and enabled on your windows machine )

    奥巴马

    Let’s learn a little chinese. Let’s translate each character one by one to see if the chinese had any systematic way of cataloging their written ideas in this case. Here I go!

    奥 …. abstruce ( first choice was Austria…did not make sense )

    巴 …. to hope for anxiously; to expect ( first choice was Pakistan… did not make sense )

    马 …. horse …. I take this to mean a vehicle. That which is carrying.

    To sum it all up Obama in Chinese is equal to THE CARRIER OF ABSTRUCE HOPE.

  2. The following will become de facto crimes under the Obama administration:

    * Taking pictures of public officials on public sidewalks.

    * Making dissenting statements on ‘public airways.’

    * Use of any firearm in self-defense.

    * ‘Hoarding’ of any commodity: food, fuel, money, weapons, etc.

    * Use of any other tender besides the US dollar (like gold).

    * Criticizing any person of color for anything will be a racist hate crime.

    * Advocating states rights in federal courts.

    * Advocating that the Obama administration is wrong about anything.

  3. jj, Capital Hill Democrats are a buzz about how fast they’re going to push their agenda through in the first 100 days of an Obama presidency. If he wins, I’m actually considering moving to a red state. Really.

    “an Obama presidency” – my stomach just growled.
