Now get to work filling out your Treasury Department, you lazy bum.

Nothing Says Egomania
Like giving the Queen of England (not Great Britain or the UK, apparently) an IPod with your own speeches on it.
On the other hand, nothing seems more craven than a bow this deep to the Saudi King:
You know, someone related a story to me recently. The first time the Kennedys met the British monarch, Jackie asked the Chief of Protocol (which the Obamas didn't even know existed) if she should curtsey to the Queen. He replied no, that spouses and heads of state do not curtsey to heads of state. Several years later, after the assassination, she met the Queen again, and did curtsey. Her response was, "I'm no longer the spouse of a head of state."
Over their heads much? Yeah. Clueless bumbling amateurs.

How To Spend A Trillion Dollars Without Really Trying
Little known fact: You could spend a million dollars a day every day from the birth of Christ til today and not spend as much money as Barry Messiah, Nan From San Fran, and Dingy Harry managed to cram through in two days.
The laundry list of problems I have with it is, of course, about as long as our President is on promise (though it would be nice if he was longer on delivery...pretty short so far). It was cobbled together in a back room filled with ideological homogenity, made unsearchable by its opponents, and was provided to the lobbyists on K Street (remember the good old days of...2008...when lobbyists were bad people? Why, even the Golden Boy himself decried lobbyists!) before it was provided to the members of Congress...
And of course, the awesomeness of it being passed at the start of tax season.
Never mind, too, that its short on actually creating jobs (oh, wait, we've morphed that into "save or create jobs!" so that all of the 500 million people who are losing their jobs this month according to the Speaker can be grateful to the government). Never mind that its short on the promised infrastructure improvements, or the technological upgrades, and that welfare as we knew it is back, baby. But its ok, we're told: Something had to be done, and this is definitely something!
Then again, so is a big, steaming pile of cow dung.
You know, General Patton once said that a good plan executed right now is better than a great plan executed 15 minutes from now. I get the feeling that General Patton wouldn't have thought all those millions for a mouse was a good plan for saving jobs, however.
Hope and Change, people. You are the ones we've been waiting for. Blah blah blah. Anybody out there ever heard the phrase "buyer's remorse?" Look it up, Oh Followers of the One. As for me, I think I have said caveat emptor once or twice.

Congratulations Pittsburgh Steelers....
You get to do what every team dreamed about in the heat of July and August, the pinnacle of your profession. Nay, the pinnacle of the human experience. It might be the greatest feeling in the world. All the hours of film study, the grueling sprints, the aching arms after lifting weights, the blood spilled in the trenches, and the long hours recovering....
You get to meet Barack Obama!
Yeah, he wasn't president yet when you got to camp, or when you signed your contract. But despite the fact that you are paid well for playing a game (in fact, even the lowest paid member of the team makes more than Barry), and that you are living out your lifelong dream of playing in the NFL and being part of its best team, the real highlight of the long, grueling, 20-week NFL season is that sometime in the summer, you will get an audience with the One. Perhaps he will even shake your hand! Its enough to send a tingle up your leg a la Chris Matthews.
Thank you, SI.com, for giving us this great insight into the mental workings of a 10-year-old girl with her first crush.

Normally, This Is Where They Plead With You To Vote...
...for someone, anyone. I don't want to insult your intelligence by saying that. You know from a quick scan down the page my opinion on the election.
Plain and simple, Barack Obama is exactly the wrong man.
From his tax plan that doesn't make any sense if you actually pay attention to it (because its not a tax increase if we just let the tax cuts expire!), to his left-wing judicial philosophy, to his seeming lack of concern about the threat of Islamic extremism, to his pie-in-the-sky plans to spend every dollar he can get his hands on, he's a nightmare candidate.
Let's not even touch on the cult-like devotion, the egocentrism, the Great Seal of Obamaland, et al.
John McCain isn't perfect. But I can guarantee you that spending won't go through the roof, that judges won't be making stuff up on the fly, and that the mullahs will be scared every time he gets on TV.
In a time full of uncertainty, it is not the time to be giving the Big Job to a guy whose main qualification for the office is that he speaks well.

You Want to Take On The Plumber?
You take on one of us free thinkers, you take on all of us. What the left has put the guy through-for asking a question of their Messiah-is disgusting. I am Joe.

We Are Not A Cult, Currency Edition
Since Obama doesn't look like the presidents on the currency, let's put him on a coin:

We Are Not A Cult, Merchandise Edition!
The latest Obama stuff?
A button reading "Jesus Was A Community Organizer."
Also, "Change Rings."
No word on when the pieces of the true cross go on sale.

Because It Worked So Well Last Time
If you'll remember, a group of Brits decided in 2004 to send thousands upon thousands of letters to Clark County, Ohio, in hopes of flipping the state from Red to Blue.
In that vein, today comes the news that the world wants Obama to win. This from a BBC poll.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/09/2360240.htm?section=world
Also, British Prime Minister and Sitting Duck Gordon Brown basically endorses Barry Messiah. Truly, he makes the British Lion lay down with the American Lamb.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2713430/Gordon-Brown-triggers-row-with-John-McCain-by-backing-Barack-Obama.html
Now far be it from me to tell you what to do, folks...but I beg of you, please, please, pretty please...keep doing stuff like this. It makes caricaturing the One sooooo much easier.

We Are Not A Cult, Weekend Edition
Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.But no, we are not a cult. We would not compare Barack Obama to the Redeemer of All Mankind.
Let us light a candle and pray to St. Jeremiah and St. Pfleger.

Hubris
From the guys who thought thousands of screaming Germans was a good idea:
No, nothing to see here, no Messianic overture.
Funny thing is, I thought Obama's people believed he was Jesus Christ. Apparently they believe him to be Zeus or Apollo instead.
UPDATE: Thanks to the fine folks at the Washington Times blog:

By my count, appearing in this video are:
Forest Whittaker
Macy Gray
Jason Alexander
Whoopi Goldberg
Joss Stone
Barry Manilow
Cyndi Lauper
Norah Jones
Pam Anderson (what, no Tommy Lee?)
Wait, did they just say, this is the Church You Can't See? Oh, man, what an apt metaphor for Barry Worship.
Way to put the McCain "Celebrity" ads in their place, Strange Martian Obama Worshippers.
