Nuke the News: What We Deserve

* Obama says he’s getting better at being president and deserves a second term. Well, for the first claim, maybe he is getting better. He had the advantage of starting so poorly, it was hard for him to do any worse. As for the second part, it’s more a question of whether we as a country deserve him. And since we haven’t genocided anyone recently, I’m going to say “No.”

* Is Santorum going to finally have his day? Polls show he could win Minnesota and Missouri while coming in second in Colorado. The party hasn’t really given him much consideration — despite technically winning Iowa — making him pretty much the only one not to be a frontrunner yet. His problems are charges he’s a big government conservative, he comes off as whiny sometimes, and a couple terms as Senator by itself isn’t much of a qualification to be a president. But he’s stuck around, so he has stick-to-it-tiveness. And he’s not Romney. Maybe that’s enough.

What’s this “brokered convention” thing again?

* So Iran apparently has an army of ninja women. That does seem like the appropriate first step before getting nuclear weapons. I don’t know how we skipped over it.

* So if you were looking to the New York Post for a new column by me, instead there’s one by the puppy blender. Is he moving in on my turf? His column is on Obama and rising tuition costs, and it’s not very funny so I don’t get the point of it.

* Wisdom of the Day from jon:

Madonna was super unsupportive when her dad tried to be a preacher.

  1. Santorum reminds me of Mr. Rogers.

    It’s a beautiful day in the DC neighborhood… until the Democrat gangsters get him…

    I can’t imagine Mr. Rogers going warrior and ripping Obama a new one.

  2. You know, FDR did commission a crew of ninja women, but he made the mistake of putting Eleanor in charge. She only picked women who were uglier than Frances Perkins. Seeing them assembled may have been what caused his stroke.

  3. Jimmy,

    I know it’s a day late, but happy birthday. I could sing it to you in my best ‘Marilyn Monroe singing to JFK impression’ but I think that with my 8 months-pregnant belly we’d all be left a little traumatized.

  4. “….he comes off as whiny sometimes, and a couple terms as Senator by itself isn’t much of a qualification to be a president.”

    Well, change senator to state of IL senator and you’ve got the perfect qualifications to be POTUS.

  5. In 2008, since there was nobody but John McCain left by the time Idaho had its primary, I wrote in Rick Santorum. I’d be willing to vote for him again, unless Jim DeMint or Bobby Jindal jump in. At least Santorum knows which whine goes with beer!

  6. Am I the only person who watched the halftime show and thought of Molly Shannon’s SNL character – the one that works out and says she’s 50? The whole thing was like geriatric cabaret. Of course, that’s probably sexier than pregnant cabaret.

  7. So why was madonna at the Superbowel? What day was the Superbowel?
    I heard something about a super model who couldn’t catch something from Tom Brady or Terry Bradshaw or someone.
    I thougth Mannings name was Peyton or something like that.
    Apparently they still make Chryslers.
    Its half time in America, does that mean we get to listen to a marching band and see young things in short skirts? Or do we have to just sit trough another speech by sasquatch’s husband?

  8. Maybe next year for the half time show they can dig up Judy Garland and prop her corpse up on stage and have it lip synch some of her oldies but goodies! It wouldn’t be any lamer than what we just saw!!!
