Nuke the News: Differences of Tea Party and OWS, Correcting Obama, and Dinner Guests

* There’s a new New York Post column by me about those darn wealthiest 1%. I explain exactly how they hurt us and what must be done about them.

Let’s say you had two apples and another person — let’s call him “Rich” — also had two apples. If you then got one more apple and Rich got 80 more apples, would you now have more apples? No, you’d have fewer apples — fewer than that other guy who has an unfair number of apples!

* Tensions with the Occupy Wall Street are increasing. Now they’re clashing directly with police in Oakland with tear gas and beanbag rounds and everything. But it’s important that the OWS people stand their ground so they can… what is it they’re trying to do again?

I mean, the Tea Party would go, protest a few hours, and then leave — their point having been made — but OWS needs to go to a place and stay there and camp out until… something. Who knows what.

“We refuse to leave until we figure out what the hell it is we’re trying to do!”

* Anyway, so differences between Tea Party and OWS so far:

-Tea Party leaves after they make their point.
-Tea Party doesn’t clash with police.
-Tea Party actually knows what they’re about and can coherently explain it.
-Tea Party less than 90% about drum circles.

* So I noticed, along with his jobs bill, Obama has some new stuff he wants passed about mortgages and student loans. Why? What in his past history tells him that the solution to our current problems are a few more of his bills piddling around with things? Is Obama capable of learning? When Obama proposes another one of his silly little expensive bills that just exacerbate things, we need someone to smack him in the face with a rolled up newspaper and yell, “No!” Maybe if done enough times, that will sink in.

* Perry has had a run in with Birther issue. You notice how it’s now the left-wing media that’s working hard to bring that up and keep the issue alive. “Obama may be the most ineffective president in history, but you can’t elect those Republicans because they’re crazy people who don’t believe in birth certificates!”

* A poll says that out of the Republican candidates, people would most like to have dinner with Herman Cain. Probably because they figure he’ll bring free pizza.

* Wisdom of the Day: “Lindsay Lohan is going to pose nude in Playboy. Turns out she met Hef during her community service at the L.A. County Morgue.” –Joel McHale

* Pajamas Media has had a huge redesign and is now called PJ Media. I now have a cool new bio page, but the redesign has also caused all the Facebook likes to be reset on my columns. I had one with over 5,000 likes on it! (Frank J. Trivia: What was my most popular column?)

Anyway, I hope things work out well for Pajamas PJ Media. They’ve given me a great platform to get more exposure that directly led to me writing a book for HarperCollins and writing columns for the New York Post, and I hope I’ll still be writing lots of cool stuff for them far into the future.

Random Thoughts

Apparently there is this new chap, Rick Perry, who has entered the presidential race. I wish him well.

Worst thing about PJM redesign: all the Facebook likes have been reset on my columns. I had 5000 on one of them!

Our inability to find a suitable Republican to be president other than Romney suggests we’re going about this all wrong.

I like my presidential robot to have its principles programmed in firmware, not software. Hard wired is even better.

If I were Tycho Brahe, my catchphrase would be, “Does this look like the mustache of a man who is joking?”

And whatever happened to giant frilly collars? How did that go out of style?

“Hundreds of years from now, someone will make fun of your mustache and instantly broadcast it to the entire world.” Oh, the wonders of our present age.

So when again is Herman Cain supposed to fade in the polls?

Just to be clear, that was a cigarette at the end of the Herman Cain ad and not a joint, right?

Can’t we all come together and blame all the country’s problems on hipsters? Even hipsters hate hipsters.
