In the lackadaisacal world view of the community organizer there is no “must” or “have to.” Only “ought.”
- We ought to make sure all children have access to good health care.
- All children ought to have a good education.
- Children ought to have a nice, safe place to grow up in.
Michelle got a $200,000 raise for working having a job title related to #1. That’s what the title said, although it appears the importance of the job disappeared when Michelle left, because so did the job.There is no evidence that she did anything. But she got the money, so that’s something.
Barack Obama and his pal Ayers spent a few mil on #2. The kiddie’s test scores went down, but all the children knew they’d been victimized so that was enough for Barack Obama and Bill Ayers. Also Barack Obama got a nice chunk of dough. So that’s something.
Barack Obama and another pal, a jailbird named Rezco, put up a bunch of apartments. Today those apartments are unlivable, the weeds reclaiming the land, but Barack Obama got credit for saving children. Oh! Also a nice chunk of dough. So that’s something.,
Oh! While Barack was engaged with the above projects he found time to write a book, which said that white people were a pain, when he wasn’t listening to his preacher who thundered from the pulpit that white people were a pain. He didn’t get any money for that, just credit for worshipping while black. And a free house. So that’s something.
One thing, though: were it not for the fact that during the current recession the number of state and federal employees has been expanding, as have their salaries, the employment picture might be pretty bleak. But they all have unions and the unions all give lots of money to Barack’s party. So that’s something.
It’s always something!

Lisa Murkowski Concedes to Sarah Palin Candidate Joe Miller
Wow! I find Sarah Palin to be one of the most invigorating and genuine people I’ve ever encountered, even if only at a distance through various media. She is just so THERE! She would not bring a teleprompter (the two screen model yet, better to pretend to be looking at BOTH sides of the room) to speak to a room full of grade school kids. Having gotten rid of the governor’s private jet she would not get another one for her dog. When a freak moves in next door she doesn’t freak; she just raises the fence. She shops, she cooks, she cares for her kids. She speaks gorgeous thoughts in plain words.
And every single time she backs a candidate against long odds the candidate wins. Again!
I wouldn’t want to be the one to ask her if she hears bells. But if it turned out that she did and they speak to her I wouldn’t be surprised.
The most delicious part of this is that, had they left her alone, she might have been active in Republican party politics but she would have been the governor of a state with all the duties that come with the job. Cutting ribbons, opening Scouting Jamborees.
But they wouldn’t. The McCainiacs were sniping at her even before the election and they stepped up the pace afterwards, making sure that everyone on the planet knew what an ignorant, incapable, clueless, greedy bitch Sarah Palin was. Her endorsement won the Arizona primary for John McCain and the day it was over McCain’s daughter was revving up the Let’s Trash Sarah machine.
And the incessant charges. She made a perfectly reasonable decision, even a necessary one for a state’s chief executive — to protect the public safety — and she was investigated and re-investigated and re-re-investigated for that, then when she hired a lawyer to defend her against the charges she got investigated for hiring the lawyer.
Yup. They could have left her alone. But they didn’t. And they really should have.
Just as a lot of the French Ducs were in cahoots (that’s probably a word not unheard from the Palin lips, I reckon) with the English occupiers in Joan of Arc’s day a lot of Republicans tend to experience a kind of ethical vertigo when they get to the big dance and in their dizziness kind of forget to dance with the one what brung ‘em.
I think they’re going to regret telling Sarah of Wasilla to take her ignorant self and her ignorant family back to rube-land and let the beautiful, smart, darlings of the consultants and the foundations and the Washington Post get back to business as usual.
I retract that. They’re not GOING to regret it. They already do.
A genuine person who actually likes people!

When Nancy Reagan declared the White House formal china a disgrace and had it all replaced by new donated place settings the press was down on her like white on rice.
Anybody heard anything about this from, say, Katie Couric? Brian Matthews? NPR?

One element missing in the brouhaha over the proposed mosque in New York, which now has more names than a Spanish nobleman, would seem to be the ACLU.
When the Nolanimrod lived in NOLA (local shorthand for New Orleans, LA) it seemed that every football season you couldn’t get away from Joe Cook. Not just you, or I, but anybody. No matter where you went he seemed to be there ahead of you.
Joe was Director of the Louisiana Civil Liberties Union and every football season he seemed to be at every high school football game played in Southern Louisiana. Not just the big cities, either. Joe was no snob. If a town was big enough to have a school football team and play a game Joe was likely to be there.
The way they found out Joe was there was if somebody said a prayer. Before the game clock clicked down to zero all the newspapers and TV stations were going to know about it and there would be legal papers on their way to the offending school district.
It didn’t have to be a big deal, like singing the National Anthem, or an organized thing where everybody stood up and bowed their heads and somebody stood up and lead them in a prayer. Somebody could just say one and if Joe heard it that was enough. Here is one account of one result of Joe’s diligence. That was apparently over the P.A. system but it didn’t need to be. If a team were behind and some kids stood up in the bleachers and asked divine help for the team there was going to be, so to speak, Hell to pay.
In South Louisiana a lot of people don’t leave their beliefs at the church door, but carry them around, including to football games. And they always got caught. Joe was everywhere. If not everywhere he seemed to have the ability to turn himself into a sort of mist which hovered over the entire southern part of the state waiting for someone to fall into his clutches.
I never knew him to go flying out of the stands if a baseball player, just prior to getting into the batter’s box, knelt down to ask for some extra help, but I couldn’t be everywhere so I don’t know for sure.
It didn’t have to be a high school football game. It could be a memorial to people lost in the Katrina flooding.
According to Joe and the ACLU these weren’t just people who were raised with a Bible in one hand and a covered dish in the other. They were terrorists.
That being the case, just how is it that the imam who is spearheading the Ground Zero / Cordoba / Park 51 Mosque is jetting around the globe conducting outreach for the U.S. State Department? Is not the State Department part of the gubmint? Do not State Department employees have GS ratings? More to the point, if the conjunction of church and state at a football game is worth press releases and lawsuits why is the ACLU giving this a pass, a Muslim preacher flying around the world for the State Department giving the old Allahu akbar to everyone he meets?
Could it be that the ACLU people, like a lot of the politicians, educators, film makers, and other beautiful people just don’t like us? What we do? What we feel? What we think?
Since throwing names — racist, xenophobe, homophobe, stupid — around at anyone with whom one disagrees is the new sport, how’s this? Could it be that the ACLU people, in addition to the other usual suspects mentioned, are afflicted with Oikophobia?
Where is the mortal terror at the specter of the connivance of church and state?
Oikophobes. Has a certain ring to it. Oikophobes.
