There lie they, and here lie we, under the spreading Barackracy. Ahh, Starbucks. Where would I have been without you? Actually, that’s an easy answer … I’d have been wandering the streets of DC, cold and irritated. Like thousands of people actually were on the evening of inauguration day. It was a cold bright day in January, and the clocks were striking three. In among | Read More »
Heh. I have some similar video I’m still editing. I should have it up this week some time. In the meanwhile, if you’ve seen any other hilarious footage, why not drop it in the comments? OPEN THREAD
I’m writing about the night before the ceremony as “Part II” because I didn’t really think much about it until later reflection. On Monday, I was, like so many others, unable to get inside the beltway. The lines were long and, unlike the day itself, they moved very slowly. News reports said it was even worse trying to get back out of DC, something I | Read More »
Tuesday morning. The weather was frigid, the sky dark, as I drove my sub-sub-sub-compact rental into Vienna, Virginia, there to catch the Metro into Washington, DC, for the inauguration of Barack Obama. I hate those little cars. I’m tall and not exactly thin, so the combination of compressed spine and the lubricant necessary to squeeze in make an unpleasant experience. But hey, I saved like | Read More »
Today is that day. That one special day. His face on every wall and bench. His name in art deco, papier-mache, and spray paint nouveau. It’s Obama day, and you will love it. Today, my friends, is better than Cats. You’ll want to see it again and again. No, in fact, these are not the droids you are looking for, moveon, moveon. One day, I’ll | Read More »
Much like the crass and tasteless foot-stomping triumphalism we were subjected to on the day after the election of Barack Obama, the preponderance of media elites and left-bloggers have this week begun writing their snide, polemic send-offs for President George Bush in advance of next weeks inauguration. It is, of course, to be expected. If we’ve learned nothing else of the “Bush Lied, People Died” | Read More »
“All of a sudden, ‘Gosh it’s so complicated to close Guantanamo Bay’” Ahead of her final briefing on behalf of the Bush Administration, press secretary Dana Perino fired a few shots across the bow of the mainstream press and Barack Obama at a breakfast with reporters this week. From The Weekly Standard: “The press secretary took a little dig at the incoming president for attacking | Read More »
I’m a day late posting about this, because there was no adequate youtube compilation available at the time. There is now, however. See below for some of Khan’s greatest hits. Yesterday, Ricardo Montalban passed on at the age of 88. My first instinct was to remember him as Khan Noonien Singh, the one role he played that most impacted me. I’m a bit of a | Read More »
When you get tired of crying, the only thing left to do is laugh. Congress is fertile ground for humor of course, but you gotta hand it to big porn, they certainly have stimulated the funny bone regarding stimulus packages. The pun environment is target-rich indeed, and if you want to see some of the funniest, check out this slogan contest over at #dontgo. For | Read More »
Technorati Profile You may have noticed in some stories and diaries recently that there is a tendency to see the formatting code rather than the formatted text the code was meant to create. For example, you might have seen a link that looked like this: <a href=”link.url”>My Link</a> … instead of being an actual link like this: My Link. Well fixing this is easy if | Read More »
You know, there are so many places to go with this photo that I’m in snark overload and can’t write a story. So I’m just going to start with the punchline. Let’s play a little game I like to call … What’s Wrong With This Picture: There is a tradition in the Senate, you see, where each successive Senator carves his name into the underside | Read More »
I have exclusively obtained for you, the RedState readership, a copy of Obama’s New Year’s Resolutions. Yes, herein witness the One’s soul bared. It seems that Jon Favreau is quite preoccupied with a life-sized cardboard cutout of Ken Salazar, so it’s a rare opportunity to see the One out from behind the speeches, away from the polished sheen of prepared remarks. But here, let me | Read More »
If you’re like me, then you are totally unprepared for Christmas. Well lucky for you, I know what to do about it. It’s time to start showing your colors. What better way to say I love you, or I didn’t vote for Obama, than with gifts that show your conservative – osity? Here’s a list of must haves. Did I make some of these? Maybe! | Read More »
MONDAY, DECEMBER 19th 1. The Obama Tax Cuts Are Just Bait for the GOP Obama’s whole model is to lead by being unthreatening. He’d rather have someone else make the tough decisions. He figures that tax-cut proposals will work like catnip on Republicans in Congress. Then they’ll have the big fights with the Congressional Democrats that Obama would prefer not to have. 2. TARP II | Read More »
Let it be said that today, we stood. Here, upon this blog. With the courage born of wordpress, and the touch of madness burning bright in every blogger’s eye, a madness of steely snark and righteous wrath. Let every many among us now hear, now speak. Today we stood as one and had the Open Thread the Heavens saw fit to bestow upon us. Not | Read More »
Normally, Nancy Pelosi wages war ON religious doctrine. It seems that last week, though, Pelosi was on the right side of an issue dear to Christians and non-Christians alike: Christmas. According to an interview I conducted with Reverend Robert Schenck of the group Faith and Action, Speaker Pelosi got a taste of the so-called War on Christmas last week over her decision to keep the | Read More »
With a little awesomeness from the Paris Metro thrown in: OPEN THREAD.
Are they asking us to vote? Yes, actually, they are. And the following got my “Die” vote in spades. Just so you’re clear, Jesus mocking the Bible is “funny”, whereas voting on a matter of law is tantamount to enslavement. You know, first it was “The More You Know”. Then “This is your brain on drugs”. Then “George Bush hates black people,” “Yes We Can,” | Read More »
BAM! My life is now complete. While this is not the official Thankgiving open thread, please treat this as an: Open Thread, you turkeys.
