* So Obama is going on a bus tour of the country, but it’s totally not a campaign trip. How do we know this? Because our tax money is paying for it. If it were a campaign trip and he used our tax money to pay for it, that would be illegal. So this is a simple trip to encourage all Americans… to reelect him and not trust Republicans.
Anyway, it’s like some special, giant, armored bus; when Obama throws people under this bus, they stay down. But what’s the point of this bus tour? So people can see how much Obama does not comprehend their problems in person?
AMERICAN: “I can’t find work and can’t afford gas for my car.”
OBAMA: “I know the solution for you: Windmills!”
Maybe to save money, they could have Obama go around in a short bus.
* Warren Buffet wrote an editorial in the New York Times about how the super rich and the mega rich should pay more in taxes. He doesn’t mention what should happen with the ultra rich and the giga rich, though. I don’t know really know much about Warren Buffet, but now I know he writes like a moron demagogue which doesn’t really give me confidence in his wisdom. Plus, if he thinks giving more money to the government is so helpful, there’s a publicly available address where he can do just that. But, like most people, he won’t actually throw money down the giant hole that is the federal budget unless there is an actual threat of force. I think that means something. And really, what kind of idiot would look at our situation today and say, “We need more money in the hands of the morons in Washington and less in those who actually know how to create wealth.”? Well, I guess Warren Buffet would say that. Put him in an old folks home. An expensive one.
* So what’s Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman’s new plan to turn the economy around? A space alien attack!
EVERYONE: “Your ideas just don’t work in the real world.”
KRUGMAN: “They would if there was a space alien attack!”
I’m still working on writing a science fiction novel, so maybe I can get a Nobel Prize in economics. How much does that pay?
* I just want to be clear that I’m not trying to hype Rick Perry or think he’s some great savior for the Republicans. He’s just passable. He’s conservative — maybe even a little more conservative than we’d usually get out of a Republican primary — and has a proven record as governor that stands in stark contrast to Barrack Obama’s record of sucking. Basically, out of the available field of Republicans, he seems the best. I still fully expect to be disappointed by him in many areas and to have to hold his feet to the fire to get anything done on spending. It’s probably a good idea for conservatives to treat politicians like livestock — never get too attached to them.
* Google is buying Motorola. So now Google will be directly making your phones, probably listening and cataloging everything you say or do on them — maybe even anything you say near them. There will be an option to opt out in which they’ll mail you a cyanide capsule.
I think the time to worry is when we hear about Google acquiring an army and really starting down the path to being their own government. It’s a scary idea. Hmm… I wonder what their taxes will be like?
* Apparently, there was a plot to spike Hitler’s food with estrogen to make him all feminine. What a horrible idea. Can you imagine woman Hitler screaming at you for not doing the dishes? That’s the stuff of nightmares.
* Wisdom of the Day: “I’m on the Michelle Obama Diet. I can eat whatever I want because of all the calories I burn wagging my finger at everybody else.” –Jim Treacher
Frank, I agree with you. But this remains one of the saddest things you’ve ever written.
BRING BACK COOLIDGE!
Feeding estrogen to Hitler? Just what we would have needed, Hitler with PMS.

Hmmm, 3 heavily armored, black painted, non-discript busses. Huge deficits, and an unsecured canadian border. Just sayin.
“So what’s Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman’s new plan to turn the economy around? A space alien attack!”
Actually, this is nothing new from the libs. If you read his piece, he’s advocating creating a phony war (this time it just happens to be against imaginary aliens?) to take the focus off of his awful president and failed policies and boost the economy with military spending. Other than the alien twist, it’s the same old left-wing playbook (and we’re supposed to be the war mongers). I guess they think if people are willing to believe something as ridiculous as global warming, why not a pending alien attack?
Bad enough the New York Times is hardly worth using for toilet paper–it only touches the left side, you know–it’s Nobel-winning genius is stealing ideas from The Watchmen comic book. Next up: David Axelrod in a big flying owl ship.
The price of gold this morning was $1776. Is the market telling us something?
I’m still working on writing a science fiction novel, so maybe I can get a Nobel Prize in economics. How much does that pay?
About a million and a half bucks. When I was first learning about taxes (that would be January 1971), the money from the Nobel Prize wasn’t subject to
income tax, either. Now it is.
I think the Michelle Obama diet is, you tell other people what they have to eat so they don’t get fat like you and your kids. That’s gonna work….

So would the head office be in some hollow volcano out in the Pacific? The army would be carrying submachine guns, wearing khaki uniforms and white helmets with the gooble logo.
@FormerHostage Don’t forget the Trained Sharks, Laser Cannon, and huge Self-destruct button.
Best line about teh Krugman’s recovery strategy is from Treacher:
I believe I gave you the heads up on the whole bus tour thing weeks if not days ago. Any high praise? how about a tip of the hat? a footnote? NOTHING. I would make one of those link things but my 10 year old is out of the room building a Lego Star Wars ship. I have been used and abused. hangs in in shame
So Gov. Perry wants to tell me why he supported Al Gore? I don’t care why, if he supported Al Gore then he is no conservative. I don’t care what he says now. Al Gore is so far left he’d need an atlas, 100 sherpas, 1000 St Bernards, a Global positioning satellite and several Guardian Angels to find center. There is no reason good enough for that.
seanmahair,
Gore was not considered hugely liberal back then PLUS IT WAS TWENTY THREE YEARS AGO! Unless you have evidence he’s some sort of liberal now, you’re just making the sort of baseless, evidence free argument I’d expect from the left. I’m all for arguments against Perry, I just hate these absolutely useless ones.
Hitler has only got one ball.
Göring has two, but they’re quite small.
Himmler has something sim’lar,
But poor old Göbbels has no balls at all!
Hitler has only got one ball.
The other, it hangs in Albert Hall.
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Cut off his bollock when Hitler was small.
Good point Frank. I once thought of myself as a democrap but I grew up and got a job and began working with entitlement minded folks and realized the error of my way. It would have been real cool if I had like a “Road to Damascus” experence with Regan on his second term…
As long as Perry sticks with his gun rights advocacy, I can forgive his complacency about sharia. But if he doesn’t get serious about the latter, I think that many people around the world will suffer for it.
John Bolton is to the UN and to the communists (but I repeat myself) what John Brown was to black slavery. Bolton, however, also has the fame and the vision not to attack ferries and stuff like that, if you can forgive the moustache.
I wonder if the buses are anything like the EM-50 ‘Urban Assault Vehicle’ from “Stripes”?

Hitler on estrogen…Hillary Clinton!!!
Perry hasn’t shown me anything to change my mind. He comes to the party late, starts a ruckus, swaggers around, acts like he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. I’ve seen this dog and pony show before. I’d like to know what experience he has in the private sector. What has he done besides be a politician in Texas? With all the media coverage he’s getting you’d think that someone might have mentioned it.
After all just because you say you’re “Christian” doesn’t mean you are. There are Christians and then there are christians. Fool me once same on you, fool me twice shame on me. Isn’t that how we got our first “(non- wink, wink, nudge, nudge) muslim president.”
@seanmahair
Governing a state is the proper experience for being president. We should make it a job requirement.
We will find out about the rest of his experience in due time it has only been a few days.
And he is the kind of Christian that gets in trouble with the main stream media when he prays.
Prehaps Paul Krugman IS a space alien.
Pardon me if I reserve judgement. I heard last election about what a good Christian the Reverend Huckabee was. Didn’t stop him from stooping to back room deals and dirty tricks to make sure his “enemy” didn’t get ahead of him. We have a wealth of supposedly good Christians running for election. Their religious convictions don’t stop them from trashing their opponents, dissembling, and misrepresenting themselves and their beliefs. I too am of the Christian persuasion and I realize that no one is perfect but making mistakes honestly and making them to get gain, power and influence are two entirely different endeavors.
Let’s just say “By their fruits shall ye know them”. If I’m wrong I’ll freely seek forgiveness but once, twice, thrice bitten……………….gun shy now.
