Barbara Walters Wannabes

Could the press corps be any more in bed with Obama? Or want to be that is? Oh well, if Babs can do it, why not any aspiring journalist.

Watch as Barry gives them the money-maker shot virtually assuring another month of good press. Maybe he is like Jack Kennedy after all.

Hat-tip to Michelle Malkin.

The Picture Has Nothing To Do With The Post

I apologize for the lack of posting, but I was out of state working and just didn’t have time. To make up for it, here’s a few links I found interesting.

1. Obama versus McCain: Let’s Get It On. Best line is the last line: “If John McCain can’t talk the American people out of re-Carterizing themselves, what has he been preparing for all these years?” Yep, Carter all over again. And I called that one before the election too, just ask all my relatives who voted for him while I backed Ford.

2. I spoke with another Democrat while on travel who told me he would vote for McCain this year. He dislikes Bush, positively hates Reagan (no clue what Reagan did to him but the guy was almost pathological about him), and considered himself a yellow-dog Democrat up until this year. He didn’t give me any real reasons, but he is a working-class, gun-toting, religion-clinging white Kentuckian. Make of that what you will.

3. Dan Rather can’t seem to find work, but the real kick here is he applied to Fox News. They should have hired him in my opinion, can you imagine how fun that would be?

4. My Alma Mater gave out its first ever space law degree. I don’t know if that is something I should be proud of or embarrassed about. I am leaning towards embarrassment but, hey, it gives me an opportunity to post this. Via Ace.

5. It appears that my prediction about Obama’s response to any political attack was true. Of course, it’s not a race card in this instance, but calling McCain’s statement of fact that the terrorist group Hamas wants Obama to be elected a “smear” is going to be a standard practice.

6. “We may now understand why Barack does not wear a flag lapel pin. He’s afraid that Bill Ayers will stomp on him.”

7. “Great tits cope well with warming.” Well, of course they do. Unfortunately, it’s not what you think.

8. The five greatest movie teachers, plus one. They all suck in my opinion, all the more so because they left out the number one movie teacher of all time.

9. Global warming does not exist. That is my official opinion and anyone who doesn’t agree with me is the equivalent of an Holocaust** denier. Hey, don’t get mad at me for saying that, I just stole it from the global warming enviro-nuts.

9. I’m assuming that you only need one search term, that being “gingers.”

10. Speaking of gingers, observe one ginger’s obsession with a Saab.

PLUS ONE:

With some commentary here, here, and here. Great line: “Can He Spell ‘Potato?’”

Correction: New best line:

“This faux pas is beyond weird; I know the guy is tired, but “How many states are there in America?” is the kind of question they ask you at the hospital after you’ve had a seizure to see if your brain is still working.”

Although this one is good too: “Maybe he needs to start wearing a flag pin so he could use the stars on it as a reference.”

** I’m not making fun of the Holocaust. I am using it this way to show how ludicrous it is to compare those two things, which the left does all the time.

Eight Things

1. Global Warming Could Stop Naturally In Ten Years - but don’t let that inconvenient news keep you from going green and starving a third-worlder.

2. I never had sexual relations with that Pastor.

3. Eight essential gadgets for the secret agent.

4. Ten worst job interview questions.

5. Facebook in real life. I’ve never tried it so I have no clue if this is funny or not. On the other hand, British accents always make things funny.

6. Today, (April 30th) is French No-Spank Day. Fortunately it was about spanking children, for the moment spanking brunette women on the bum is still allowed. Dodges a bullet there I tell ya.

7. “Youthful passion is really quite tedious.” Most of the tedious passion he is speaking about is the liberal kind, thank goodness.

8. Fort Bragg soldier receives Distinguished Service Cross - the second highest honor our nation offers its brave warriors. Another American hero mostly ignored by the liberal press.

PLUS ONE:

This blogger is very upset that a Macy’s buyer didn’t know what she meant when she asked about Macy’s “green policy.” I do find it amusing that the buyer didn’t know she meant environmental policies, but other than that I have the exact opposite reaction. I love that Macy’s isn’t concerned about green policy. In fact, while I have never shopped at Macy’s before, I am going to go out of my way to shop there from now on. Green policies are sometimes doing more bad than good. Yeah, yeah, I want to protect the environment (and do more than my share actually - if you only knew), but this type of obsession is not a good thing; obsessions rarely are.

Time To Read Something Else

Time Magazine makes a sorry attempt to equate the “war on global warming” with World War II, and more specifically the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Let’s put aside the fact that global warming is still very much in dispute, as is man’s contribution to it, if it does exist at all. The morphing of this iconic photograph of US Marines raising our Flag into a photograph of dyslexic lumberjacks raising a tree while wearing military surplus is insulting and belittles these brave warriors.

The editors who made the decision to publish this horrid photoshop should be ashamed. They aren’t though and more is the pity.
