[High Praise! to Teri O’Brien]

When you hear Obama say:

I think a lot of this campaign, maybe over the last four years, has been devoted to this nation that I think government creates jobs, that that somehow is the answer. That’s not what I believe. I believe that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity the world’s ever known. I believe in self-reliance and individual initiative and risk takers being rewarded.

But I also believe that everybody should have a fair shot and everybody should do their fair share and everybody should play by the same rules, because that’s how our economy’s grown. That’s how we built the world’s greatest middle class.

Know that Obama considers the second part the rule, and the first part the exception, and in any conflict between the first and second parts, the second one wins out every time.

He will never hesitate to beat you to death with that second part and laugh while he does it.

Bill Clinton was suspended from practicing law in Arkansas and paid a $250,000 fine as a result of the Monica Lewinski incident.

He also paid a $850,000 settlement over the Paula Jones incident.

He was also disbarred from practicing law in front of the Supreme Court.

So Bill Clinton, a disbarred lawyer, a President who was impeached for lying under oath, is asking the American people to believe him when he says the best thing for the country is four more years of Obama.

I hate passive-aggressive “this is no time for campaigns” faux outrage. This is America. Democracy stops for nothing.

To check on Sandy, Obama said he went to the situation room. Wonder if he had to introduce himself. #tcot

It takes serious chutzpah to vote for the guy promising ‘hope & change’ one election & then say the other guy is ‘too vague’ next election.

New Crowder video! This time he redistributes children’s Halloween candy and films the reactions:

Meghan McCain and other similarly well-respected Science! experts have pointed out that hurricane Sandy proves global warming. That follows this Science! logic:

Big Hurricane = Global Warming because Science!

The left try to make hay about people who are “anti-science” and are ignorant about the scientific method, but that ignorance is unmatched by that of Science!’s biggest cheerleaders — profoundly dumb people who think Science! is this magical force they can invoke to settle any argument. They’re like a monkey with a gun — they know it’s powerful but they don’t have any clue how to properly wield it. If the proponent of global warming are so worried about respect to science, then clean up the dummies on your side first. How can you fault people for doubting something when the biggest proponent is non-scientist, C-student Al Gore?

This close to a presidential election everything is political — even responses to hurricanes — so it’s nice to have reminders that there are things far more important than our petty politics. And we got just such a reminder when we saw the news that Disney bought Star Wars and will begin producing new live action Star Wars movies. This isn’t just silly policy we like to argue about; this is something that will directly affect all of us. It’s a big deal.

My initial reaction was shock and dread. We were all so burned by the prequels — we were so full of hope and joy for finally having a new Star Wars movie only to find what a false idol George Lucas was. So the idea of more Star Wars movies only makes us think we’re going to get hurt again. But the more I’ve thought on this, the more hopeful I get. What I’ve dreamed about for some time is what a competent director and screenwriter could do with the property — someone who actually understood the magic from the original trilogy. For that to happen, Lucas would have to hand off Star Wars, and that’s pretty much what is happening here. And Disney is planning to make a new Star Wars film every few years, so even if one is bad, they’ll try again — maybe with completely different people. At worst, it will end up like the James Bond franchise — some movies bad, but some really good. And maybe, just maybe, with enough tries and the right people behind it — imagine a Star Wars movie directed by Brad Bird — some of what made us love Star Wars in the first place could return to the big screen.

So now once again America has hope for the future. And it wasn’t politicians that brought that to us — it was a multibillion dollar corporation, as usual.
