* Obama has started to use the Occupy Wall Street’s “99%” rhetoric in White House statements. Isn’t that great to know that president doesn’t stand for all Americans and is instead comfortable playing them against each other. And isn’t there just something a bit disturbing — maybe fascistic — about the president expressing solidarity with a violent, law-breaking mob? I’m not saying he’s going to start rounding up and executing the 1%… but Steve Jobs is already dead and who knows what the real story there.
Anyway, Obama should be more worried about 50% — a number he’s very unlikely to see vote for him in the next presidential election.
* BTW, in addition to Obama, the Nazis and Commies have joined up with OWS. Maybe they’ll help in giving OWS some more coherent demands.
Perhaps the 1% that OWS is screaming about is the Jewish population. Usually that’s rounded to 2%, but it doesn’t look like the group has a lot of math whizzes.
* Did we start another war over the weekend? Apparently, we’ve sent some troops to Uganda… just not very many of them. So now Obama hasn’t started less wars than Bush, he’s just started smaller ones.
Everyone seems to not like war, yet apparently he’s really hard to be president and not start new ones. I know I couldn’t do it. I mean, Canada is right there and filled with oil and ours for the taking!
* Apparently, Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan is sponsored by the new Sim City game, as it has a commercial tax, industrial tax, residential tax that the player can set and the default for all three is 9. I wish more liberals would play Sim City so they could at least first see in a virtual world what happens if you just raise taxes every time you want more revenue. In Sim City, eventually people leave your city if your taxes are too high and you ended up with stilted growth and less revenue. A great video game lesson. Also, it’s fun to have Godzilla attack your city.
* On MSNBC, Ed Schultz said that Herman Cain is using rhetoric to appeal to anti-black racists. I can see one minor flaw in that argument.
See, I told you that nothing — NOTHING — can stop the left from using the racist argument because that is absolutely all they have. Of course, it makes them look so dumb you kind of wonder if MSNBC hosts should wear helmets to keep from hurting themselves.
Interestingly, Schultz claimed that saying you were going to “break” someone is racist code language. So when Ivan Drago told Rocky that he must break him, it was actually a racist crack about Apollo. Extra subtext there.
Man, was Olbermann really the smart one?
* Obama is heading out on another bus tour. Because that’s the job of a president: To ride around on a bus and give completely useless speeches. Well, it is the absolute best Obama can do.
Obama is denying the trip is campaign related. Don’t you just love it how the president can casually lie to our faces like that as if we’re absolute morons. Of course, we Republicans can’t complain too much because we’re soon going to nominate Romney.
* Wisdom of the Day: “There is something delightful in the fact that the police are far more ethnically diverse than Occupy Wall Street.” –The Arquette Sisters
* Just in case you missed it, I had a column in the New York Post on Saturday. Also, my ebook, Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything, comes out November 15th. It will only be $1.99, so you’ll have no excuse not to buy it. It should be available for preorder soon on all the major book sites.
Isn’t it nice how I’m like a major writer yet I still make time to write blog post for you people? Still, my dream is to become a novelist, and I’m doing my best to eke out a little time to keep working on that. I’ve decided with my current novel project, I should get some people to read it and give high level opinions on it before I worry about doing the final editing. Don’t know if anyone would be interested in giving my SF novel a look, but anyone I send it to would have to be trusted. So probably not you guys. You creep me out sometimes.
“Man, was Olbermann really the smart one?”
No. Just….no.
“Isn’t it nice how I’m like a major writer yet I still make time to write blog post for you people?”
Yeah. It’s kind of like “making book.”
Frank,
You should check out James Maxey’s site some time. He wrote the Bitterwood series and frequently posts comments on his blog about the writing process. He also has asked his readers to pre-read his new books as he writes them. It’s an interesting process.

@Mike,
I think it was more of a relative question. And, stunningly, when compared to Schultz, Maddow, Mathews, and the other MSNBC mental patients, Olbermann …well, no, just…no.
Don’t know if anyone would be interested in giving my SF novel a look, but anyone I send it to would have to be trusted. So probably not you guys. You creep me out sometimes.
Maybe you should write a SF novel with us as the bad guys, (and girls). We could be like zombies with lasers or something.
I knew it!!! It was about those tricky Jooooooooos the whole time!!! We need to keep a better eye on them!!!
I like Herman Cain and what he has been saying. I just hope he’s not related to Abel’s brother.
Good luck at novelizing.
Thank you for the crumbs and scraps of verbiage that you throw out from time to time. Leftovers from a fertile mind, no doubt. The French had a term for it, “noblesse oblige”.
What’s with “you people” & “guys like you”? You racist pig! Next you’ll be using others slurs like Joooo and big headed Irishmen. Then you’ll occupy our livingrooms. Stop the madness you hater you
Jimmy, you are not a “Major Writer” you are a “Master Bater”! BWAAAAAAAAA!
I actually am an actual copy editor for an actual publisher you’ve actually heard of, but you’d still probably think I was too creepy. But I will tell you that you can’t be a big-time writer until you learn the difference between eke and eek. All your big Nobel literature guys knew their eeks from their ekes.
Well, not Grazia Deledda. The big jerk.
Mxymaster,
If it sounds the same, then it’s the exact same word! Shut up!
Personally, if I were a brain-dead lie-beral rent-a-mobber, I would have done an “Own Disney World” protest instead.
Disney is a huge evil corporation. You could have made whatever idiotic state you wanted, and gotten to ride the Matterhorn and eaten some funnel cake at the same time. And there are actually restrooms included with your admission. Win/win!!!
As someone who reads a lot of science fiction, I’d love the chance to review a novel of yours, Frank. Unfortunately, I am a regular reader of this blog, so I obviously cannot be trusted. So clearly, I cannot choose the wine in front of me.
However, you may have a career as a novelist; many of my favorite (science fiction) authors have a science/math/engineering background. Perhaps that background allows them to come up with more “realistic” pseudo-science cool technology.
Maybe you could get Howard Tayler to look at your SF novel, or see if he knows anybody.
Ussjimmycarter – you need to learn to spell – like Frank. It’s “Baitor” not “Bater.”
Besides, I like my IMAO Post Toasties in the morning.
I understand now. Moe/Olberman, Larry/Maddow/, Curly/Schultz, O’Donnell/Shemp, Joe Dirita/Matthewa, Curly Joe/Sharpton. Now it all makes sense. pmsnbc woop woop woop.
I see Obama is taking another sigthseeing tour of the blue ridge. He must like the mountains.
Question for Frank_ does your new novel have hippie face punching? We need much more hippie face puinching.
@Myxmaster: Maybe he was trying to “scare up” some spare time. Then, “eek” would make sense 🙂
The problem with being a novelist is that you’ll be like schmuck in a Hollywood movie.
Professions of Hollywood movie characters:
* Cop or fireman
* (Poorly-played) military member
* Politician
* Lawyer
* “Who are you?” “I’m a writer.”
* Generic “everyman” who’s not actually much of an everyman.
* Scientist
Oh, dang it, I forgot waiter or waitress.
Frank is rite. If too words sound the same, there the same. Its obvious two me and it should bee obvious too ewe.
@Mxymaster: Maybe he’s writing a sci fi novel with lots of suspense and horror, and was punning when he said he had to “eek!” it out.
Isn’t it nice how I’m like a major writer yet I still make time to write blog post for you people?
What do you mean, “you people”?

98%? 99%? Doesn’t matter, it seems that Romney is saying he understands their complaints. That puts him one up on us ‘cuz we don’t have a FRAKIN’ idea what those bozos are about!
So, when will the anti-war leftists, code pink, start shouting “No Blood For Oil!” at obama over this Uganda thing? Those signs probably need to be dusted off after 3 years in the garage.
@Mxymaster: Sometimes when I’m really scared, I can’t even eke out an eek.
ut anyone I send it to would have to be trusted. So probably not you guys. You creep me out sometimes.
You know, you should be nice to the people you pass on the way up because we’ll be the ones spitting in your soup when we’re waiting on you at the Brown Derby.
Can we drive Obama’s bus into a ditch?
With your help, Basil, I made the startling realization that English is a silly language.
Great snark at the Post, Frank. Me rikey!

…Isn’t there something more than a bit hypocritical about a man who was born into a lower class family, (let’s say, in the United States), growing up to become a millionaire by working hard as a “Community Organizer” (presumably at least as hard as anyone can work to organize a non-specified community), finding himself elected to the United State Senate (by all the same folks who elected J.F.K., no less!) based on his presumed success at working so hard as a Community Organizer for said unspecified community, and eventually rising; as “The Peter Principle” predicted; to become President of The United States of America…
expressing solidarity with the unwashed masses who are protesting the unfairness of this country?!
Maybe it’s just me…
….in addition to Obama, the Nazis and Commies have joined up with OWS.
I believe that’s redundant
FormerHostage said: “98%? 99%? Doesn’t matter, it seems that Romney is saying he understands their complaints. That puts him one up on us ‘cuz we don’t have a FRAKIN’ idea what those bozos are about!”
To the contrary, it is painfully obvious what those bozos are about. Their mommies and their daddies and their school “teachers” (indoctrinators) taught them that they are unique and special, and that everything has to be “fair,” and that they should be rewarded just for participating, regardless of outcome. Then they graduated and got smacked in the gob with the Real World, where people aren’t paid a minimum wage of $20/hour “regardless of employment” (but there weren’t any INTERESTING jobs and the bosses were all BOSSY and stuff, and they won’t let me wear beach gear to work, and they said I would have to cover up my “F#ck You!” tattoo, the fascists), and the only $200,000 per year positions for Latin and Greek Studies majors belong to the tenured professors who wasted your time teaching you that useless nonsense (who will relinquish their jobs only when their certificates are pried from their cold, dead hands), and the immigrant who spends 7 days a week at his convenience store doesn’t want to be taxed to fund your continued study of interpretative dance (stole that one from David Burge, PBUH). Reality is HARD. Reality isn’t FAIR (at least, insofar as equal oppurtunity does not produce equal results). Reality does not heap endless amounts of praise on people merely for drawing breath and being “creative” (where creativity is defined as being really, really impressed with all of one’s own ideas). I don’t want to grow up! Subsidize my youthful idealism forever!!! (But don’t give me any more free Spam in those food care packages, ’cause, eww.) OWS is the end result of 50 years of bad parenting and even worse schooling.
You just said “Isn’t it nice how I’m like a major writer yet I still make time to write blog post for you people?”
When are you people going to learn that “you people” is racist code for the N word.
Kemo Sabe, he make ’em big wampum makin’ blog post. Hi-yo, Silver!
More like that.
I wanted to shoot the troll in the paper’s screenface for his undroll comment.
That’s cool that you’re writing a novel about San Francisco. I would rather read about that city than go there. Today I drove by it but luckily didn’t have to stop since I had enough fuel to get to where normal people live before I had to buy more.
Frank, you’re intelligence and wit are wasted on SF. You could be the next voice of reason and save the “lost generation”. Give Dennis Miller a call and see if you can’t tour with him. That should build you an empire very quickly, and you can still do the SF. Only easier. But keep doing the blog posts, please, either way. You give me hope for the next generation, and yes, I posted that on FB today with a link to your article. 😉 LONG MAY YOU RIDE, FRANK J, LONG MAY YOU RIDE.
