* So it looks like Libya is no longer under the control of Qdaffy, but no one is sure where Qdaffy is. How hard could he be to spot?
"I shall blend in with the common folk in my bright purple muumuu and hat."
* I was thinking a solution for Obama to make sure he gets an appropriate amount of vacation time: He should form a presidents’ union. It will be a union on making sure presidents get the proper respect and benefits they deserve. And if we try to cut back his vacation days or reduce lunch time so he doesn’t have enough time to enjoy his waffles, he’ll get together with his union and go on strike. Then we’ll have to somehow make do with him not being president and not randomly spending lots of money. I’m sure we’ll then panic and give in to all his demands.
* Remember during Obama’s election when everyone was sure that if we elected Obama it would be nothing but unicorns and rainbows forever after? Pretty much even the dumbest people on the left have decided that maybe Obama was a bit overhyped, but Tom Friedman apparently thinks the jury is still out. Who is this guy anyway? All I know is he makes some of the dumbest, most repetitive editorials for the New York Times (apparently for a period of two and a half years he said what will happen in Iraq will be determined in the “next six months”) and has an obsession with how great and efficient the Chinese dictatorship is and fantasizes about Obama being dictator for a day. Yet somehow the NYT is convinced we want to hear his opinions on foreign affairs and world politics when a sane person wouldn’t take his advice on how to get to the nearest Walgreens.
“But is he dumber than Krugman?” you ask.
I dunno. That’s a hard one. Anyway, it seems like people should be a little more selective on who writes for a major newspaper, but then again, “major newspaper” is becoming a bit of an oxymoron.
* Oh, and here’s another great one from the New York Times. I guess they wanted to hear the average American’s ideas on what he would do if he were president, but the NYT has no clue what an average American looks like or where to find one, so instead they got a gaggle of leftist freaks. One actually wrote this:
“I’d grant the very rich the boon of helping them help others, as a form of gratitude for their good fortune.”
There’s like so much that’s wrong with some people in this country in that single statement. First, there’s just the general covetousness where people are obsessed with the rich despite their income being no business of anyone else. Then there’s that projection of greed on to the rich when it’s obvious who are the greedy ones here. And there’s that horrible idea that taking money by force and giving it to the hugely irresponsible people in Washington is anything akin to charity (which many rich people would be doing with their money if it weren’t being confiscated by dimwits). And finally, there’s that ephemeral concept that the rich aren’t paying enough. No one knows what they’re paying now, they’re just sure it’s not enough. What is enough? More than what is currently being paid, and that’s what forever it will be. Man, what a better country this would be if we could just take these people, tell them, “Your existence in this nation is an insult to all who have fought and died for it,” and then hand them a hatchet and drop them on the other side of the Canadian border to fend for themselves.
* BTW, have you seen the expression the left has been using for when a Democrat turns against the far left for the sake of moderates? “Hippie punching.” I like it. The Democrats are going to have to be hippie punching until their arms fall off to get any credibility these days, though.

* I haven’t responded to spam e-mail in a little while, so let’s see what the Great Landlord has left me:
R. Paull is almost certainly my best favorite choice within the actual impending election, however I don’t really feel like he has receiving sufficient good coverage from the biased mass media in order to maillot away the win.
Wow. The most coherent pro-Ron Paul comment IMAO has ever received and it’s spam. No wonder Ron Paull has so much trouble trying to maillot away the win.
Throughout this awesome scheme of things you’ll get a B- with regard to effort. Where exactly you misplaced me personally was in all the specifics. As as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be much more accurate here. Having said that, let me inform you just what exactly did deliver the results. Your article (parts of it) is actually rather convincing and that is most likely the reason why I am making the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can notice the jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not necessarily confident of just how you seem to connect the details which produce the final result. For now I will, no doubt yield to your position however trust in the future you actually connect the facts better.
Wow. A B-. That’s the lowest grade possible on the Obama rating system.
Despite this being random spam, I have to admit it’s a pretty on the nose critique and stings just a little.
I usually enjoy your writing but perhaps this time you might have been too sick when writing because the article it feels rushed.
Thanks for the diagnosis, Dr. House.
That’s all for today! Have a great weekend… five days from now!
I have many time opined for reason of High Praise but have felt myself the coming away with the feelings of being unsatisfactory because of the large and usually much more preferences given to other readers of your blog who seem to disconnect their thoughts from their brains while sending in posts to the blogger readers section where comments are usually not as highly smart as mine. Just a suggestion from a blogger expert.
Unless he is hiding in Whoopi Goldberg’s laundry hamper or takes a job as Louis Farrakhan’s bed linen we might next see the hat and head of Quitdaffy on an episode of Futurama.
Thank God Libya is no longer under the control of Gadhafi, and is securely under the control of al Qaeda…wait, what?…
Is it just me or does Gaddafi’s cheesy moustache creep anyone else out?
No matter what happens just remember these words…Bush/Iraq=baaaaad, Obama/Libya=goooood. That’s all you need to know.
Arrg! The great landlord is going to make us wait 5 whole days till he gives us another weekend!
Quadrappy: Really it was this big!
How much credit will be given to anyone else who over threw quodaffy? By obsama, none.
Friedman, sounds cannibalistic to me. Dumber than krugman? Must be in obsama’s league.
QDufy had better be dead by the end of this if nothing else. It’s like Larry Miller says of his fury at traffic that clots up for no reason. You get stuck in a freeway parking-lot jam for forty minutes, there’d better be a dead guy at the end. Then you can say, Yeah, I was stuck in traffic for forty minutes, but at least some guy is dead.
Also, I don’t think it’s very Christian to plunk a lib in the woods with a hatchet to fend for himself unless you first show him which end to hold.
What I want to know is how Qdaffy got hold of the exact same dress that Joy Behar’s bridesmaids wore.
@HokieGomer: That’s a moustache? I thought it was a pre-cancerous growth. (Well, okay, HOPED it was. If anyone deserves his face to be devoured by his own rebellious cell growth, it is that guy.)
Not to take anything away from the rebels, who have done a fine job of dismantling Libya by the by, but if we’d sent in the Marines decades ago this would never have been an issue. Marines: their job is to break things and kill people. Once upon a time our country was respected because we stood up for ourselves and for our friends now we hardly ever stand at all.
“If you refuse to stand for something, you’ll fall for anything” various quoters including Alexander Hamilton and Malcolm X.
Oh thats a picture of qdaffy, I tought it was hillary!
Which brings up an interesting point. Who in their right minds would want a job that ages them 20 years (in just 4 short years), and even after their done they never recover what they’ve lost? I don’t know that this country deserves good leaders. Good, bad, indifferent we chew them up and spit them out. Why would anyone want to serve people who are so self absorbed, so self concerned and so self involved that they wouldn’t understand the concept of “for the good of others” or “service” or “volunteer” even if someone hit them over the head with a set of World Book Encyclopedias, Webster’s dictionary or the internet.
Just look at Americas Favorite TV Programs, Jersey Shore, American Idol, Big Brother and reality tv ad nausem. They love to watch people they can feel more superior to. Even a monkey with a dull stick is superior to the cast of Jersey Shore. Gov. Christie ought to kick them to the curb. New Jersey has enough problems with respect. This does not help.
I’m not going to lie: Quaddhafi’s clothes look comfy. They look like something I could sit on the couch in while I eat and then fall asleep. I wonder if they make a similar costume in maternity cut (minus the skull cap).
Mole! I want to cut it off and chop it up and make guacamole. And feed it to a purple platypus.
Plentyofbailouts…that was low down!!! What the hell did Qdaffy every do to you?
I meant the “Hillary shot”… We are a nation that fights the Evil Doers but we fight fair. That was not a fair shot at any level of civil discourse and you should take it back!!!
I like the ‘reality’ shows on the Discovery Channel, like Sons of Guns, Dual Survival and Myth-busters. I don’t feel superior to the casts of those shows, in fact I frequently learn things I did not know before (like how to start a fire by focusing the suns light through a plastic bag full of urine – something we might all need to know someday if all the coal plants get shut down by the EPA and we choose not to freeze in the dark!) And I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out how to make thermite and black powder from the clues they drop. Oh sure, they always say, “Don’t try this at home!” but I know what they’re Really saying, “If you try this and get caught, you didn’t learn it from us, OK?” (wink wink nod nod say no more).
Critical spam comments continue to evolve. Before you know it, they’ll be guilting you like a Jewish mother: “what, you couldn’t outline, fact-check, and hit F7 before hitting “Publish?”
While I appreciate Mr Cain’s upfront, take no prisoners style ( it’s refreshing – from a politician) I’m reasonably sure it will result in gridlock on Capital Hill and international angst, and haven’t we had more than enough of that. We need someone as president who has experience in business, government and in the international community. We also need someone who when they say something true but not politically correct, about people who’s stated aim is to KILL us (the infidel), they don’t apologize.
Of course that’s just my opinion and that’s worth about as much as the integrity contained within the walls of Congress and the White House so………………….
Mr. Herman Cain went to Israel to attend Glenn Becks Restoring Courage rally in Jerusalem this week, the only presidential candidate and one of the few US politicians who did.
Oh wait, that’s right, he Not a politician, (yet), just a private citizen, so he can do things like that without getting permission from party leaders.
I hope he never changes.
