Dear President Obama, please protect us from your followers Pt. IV

Sllluuurrrrp.....



Suspicions.......... Confirmed.


Hey, Capitalist pigs that we are, we certainly don’t blame the marketing folks at Pepsi for wanting to hitch their wagon to the world’s biggest celebrity – that’s certainly their prerogative. And being the freedom and liberty-loving pigs we are, we’ll certainly make it a Coke and a smile from here on out.

And enjoy video below of a many well-paid retards promising to be better people which, of course, means pledging to be “a servant to our President”.

MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge


Similar to Ariana Huffington’s well-intended admonition that we all sign up and do some volunteering at the outset of inauguration day, we’re asking, why now? What the hell does being a better person and bettering your community have to do with who’s in office?

If Bush was as bad as everyone says he was then we probably should’ve seen this video at least 4 years ago. Now, not only are Eva Longoria and Anthony Keidis guilty of making a juvenile (with apologies to 13 yr.-olds everywhere) pseudo-religious video but are extremely delinquent in doing so…. to think that if Courtney Cox were only smiling more and not flipping people the bird while driving, she could’ve prevented Katrina… but she didn’t.

Their's are the thoughts and words of children, of blunted intellect, non-critical thinking and arrested emotional resolve.

Oh, and our pledge? We pledge to welcome with open arms and with malice towards none these self-absorbed narcissistic fools to what we've been doing for years.

Can we get an Amen?

We're getting the distinct impression these people would not have taken a loss well.

We were reading an article today in Politico.com about the massive voter turnout that never happened when we ran across this:

It sort of calls into question some of the vaunted ground game discussion, the whole turnout machine,” said a Democratic strategist who did not want to be quoted by name criticizing Obama’s campaign. “The GOTV effort was redoubled in 2008 compared to 2004, but it did not seem to make that big of a difference.”

…. And these were the guys that won?

And check out Obama Transition Team honcho, Valerie Jarrett, on Meet the Press over the weekend talking about how Obama is prepared to “take power and being to rule Day One.”



Obama… dude… we’re trying to give you an even shake, here – but you need to get a grip on your website and some of your followers. This is getting beyond one or two simple slip-ups and/or gaffes and speaks directly to the perception of your imperious nature and the unreasonableness of your supporters.

(We were walking to the pub Saturday evening to watch some football and we came across a house that had a bunch of cars out front and red, white and blue balloons in the front yard. In that same front yard there was a sign that read “Obamanos”. Seriously, who the hell has a house party because their candidate got elected? Who in a white middle-class neighborhood does this…? Unreal.)

Then again, maybe we should be thankful Obama got elected. Given what we’ve seen to date, we’d hate to see what may have happened had Obama actually lost.

Dear Obama, please protect us from your supporters Pt.III

Video below is from a Finnish doc on Obama fans and in demonstrating a strong case for home schooling, the featured North Carolina teacher makes the election a “teachable moment” by ridiculing those kids with the balls to admit they were pulling for McCain.

Amazingly, she claims on camera that she plays it straight with the McCain kids.



If schools want to ban bullying, they would do well to start with this woman.

And you think that is bad? Wait four years when people may have audacity to vote for someone in order to dethrone Obama as the sitting President.

We (Heart) Obama

Wow…. That was kinda strange. It appears after being identified as a potential Spam Blog by Google/Blogger, we were taken out of rotation until our files could be properly reviewed….. on our one-year Blogoversary, no less.

First, we want to thank everyone who stopped by to offer their support. It was all very gracious and much appreciated by us.

How did it all come to this? We’re not sure but our original and most logical thought was that Blogger had an unmanned search algorithm that sniffed out spammy-type material and indeed, just a day before being put on probation, we linked to a quiz site that contained a quiz called “What type of American accent do you have?”. This site was littered with adverts and since we had never before linked to a site with so many of the same, we went ahead and deleted the post hoping that would bolster our case before the Blogger Board of Review.

Then…. last night, we stopped by Foxie’s place and she had posted a very nice tribute to the merits of free speech, tolerance and dissent as a way of explaining our plight. The page locked up and we were greeted with the “Website cannot be located. Mission Aborted” pop-up before then being banished to the internet cornfield.

We realize Google owns the very apparatus that allows us to blog for free, so they are perfectly in their right to do whatever they want. Speaking to some of the internet buzz, though, it would be very disappointing to discover that people who don’t agree with the particular editorial bent of a site, would “flag” that site as “spam blog” if that is indeed the case.

So our apologies… we aren’t taking any chances from now on….

We (heart) Obama. We really do.

It was disappointing and frustrating… once we figured-out the “scheduled post” feature 2-3 weeks back, we noticed an appreciable jump in readership and that was encouraging so now we’ve got to regain a little lost momentum.

Its good to be back. Life is good – we’ve got the 27th annual Rolando Beach Block Sale going on today and the first football, albeit pre-season football but football nonetheless, tomorrow.

Thanks again to everybody for hanging in there with us.

The Devil Made Him Do It

The agent of change ummm… changed his mind on public financing. He had to, mind you, because of John McCain and those dastardly Republican 527s that will be doing all of McCain’s dirty work. He becomes the first Presidential candidate since the current finance laws were written back in the 70s to opt out.

This whole public financing thing is an odd concept to us, anyway. We don’t begrudge Obama for opting out… it would seem to us that private funding is a general reflection of your appeal to voters so we applaud Senator Obama for not using our money to finance his campaign.

Unfortunately, though, for the Messiah, he painted himself into a corner by stating on numerous occasions in the recent past what a big fan he was of public campaign financing and how he would stay in the system. Now that he has the opportunity to privately raise so much more jack than he could garner through public financing, the “system is broken” and, you know, those Republicans are mean nasty people.

But in another disappointment to his hard Left followers, Obama has indicated that he will vote for the FISA wiretapping bill that passed muster in the House earlier this week and which will come up for a vote in Senate next week. This is more of what we like to call “maturing” or “growing in office” as Obama, though he missed the vote, was public in his opposition to the a previous version of the bill that was not substantially different.

We figure this has to be disappointing to those gauzy-eyed supporters of his (if they are indeed paying any attention) that the man who will wash this country’s political system clean of its sins is subject to the same political calculus as any other pol. As David Brooks points out, though, Obama is damn-near the ultimate political animal… a split personality whose only real principle is ambition.
