Rocco Landesman, chairman of the NEA, recently claimed Barack Obama was "the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar"... Was that meant to be a joke Rocco? You are aware that Bill Ayers ghost wrote both of "Obama's" books aren't you? No? Well, let's not dwell on Rocco's ignorance or man-crush because this fool has just given us some good material for Iowahawk to riff on!
Take it away Dave:
Yo mortal, how you livin'? It's your old pal JC, a/k/a Juicy Julius, a/k/a Flavius Flav. What's it been -- two, three millenniums? Yeah, longtimes. After that Forum dagger driveby by that punkass bitch Brutus and his crew, The Juice has been keepin' his shit on the downlow. Much respect to my homeboy Octavius for the deification. [...]
[...] Anyhow, every since we got wifi at the Pantheon, I've been spending a lot more time online checkin' out the dillyo back in the mortal 'hood. That when I read about this choad praetor Rocco Landesman, saying that your new imperator Obamacus is "the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar." At first I was LMFAO because, let's face it, the Juice didn't waste his prime warrior time word processing a bunch of papyrus scrolls. Word cuz, where I come from that kind of bullshit is for light-in-the-sandals scribefags like Livy and Plutarch. So I guess it was like hearing "Obama is the greatest chariot mechanic since Julius Erving." But then I think about it, and I'm like, WTF? This asslick is comparing Obama to me? Srsly?
Click over to Iowahawk for the rest. Much love to that brutha fo bringin' tha funny. I loves me some Iowahawk!

Dr. Zero is back with yet another brilliant post over at Hot Air's Greenroom. It's too consistently good to excerpt, but here's the introductory paragraph:
Those who are concerned about the current state of affairs in our government often ask what they can do, to help set things right. I wish it were as simple as following a ten-step program to American renewal, but the task ahead is truly formidable, and it will not be solved by a simple formula. We’ve been heading toward a cliff for a long time – Obama is stepping on the gas, but our course was set long before he was born. Correcting the problem will ultimately require reforms, such as a flat tax or term limits, that can only be enacted by compelling the political class to act against its own interests. Let’s be honest about how difficult it will be to achieve those goals… but let’s not allow ourselves to be fooled into thinking it’s impossible, either.
Be sure to click through and read the whole thing. Maybe bookmark it for later reference even.

A rancher was overseeing his livestock in a remote pasture when suddenly a shiny black SUV pulled up to the fenceline in a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?"
The rancher looks at the man quizzically, then looks at his peacefully grazing animals and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, hands it to the rancher and says, "You have exactly 1,586 in your herd."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the rancher. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man huffs it into the back of his Escalade.
Then the rancher says to the young man, "If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says the rancher.
"Wow! That's correct," says the Congressman, "but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the rancher. "You showed up here even though nobody called you. You want to get paid for giving an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are. And you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This here is a flock of sheep.
Now give me back my dog.

No, this is not a joke. This is exactly what was sent by the Governor's office to the State Legislature, except I've highlighted the first letter in each line so you can see the hidden message.

Oh, that's rich! Mr. Schwarzenneger may be a RINO, but he's earned back at least some of my respect with this move. LMAO!

This may be Ronald Reagan at his best.
Funny how we are still having the same argument forty five years later, and after Reagan's principles proved victorious over the very enemy that he spoke of. We never learn from history do we? Perhaps that's because we've put too many liberals in charge of teaching it...
Hat tip to Third World County.

A cowboy from Texas attended a social function where Barack Obama was trying to gather support for his healthcare reform plan. When he discovered the cowboy was from President Bush’s town, Barack started to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.
As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The cowboy said, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?"
Obama stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but I've never heard of circle flies."
"Well Sir," the cowboy replied, "circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
"Oh," Obama replied as he went back to rambling. But, a moment later he stopped and bluntly asked, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?"
"No, Sir," the cowboy answered, "I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their President a horse's ass."
"That's a good thing," said Obama as he began rambling on once more.
After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl said, "Hard to fool them flies, though."

Long time blog buddy Fits over at Shooting The Messenger is about to cross the 10,000 post mark. Can you believe that? I can't.
I wonder where I'd be if I hadn't canned two blogs in a row? There's something to be said for starting fresh though...
Anyways, stop by and check him out. With 10,000 posts I'm sure there's something over there you'd appreciate, maybe a lot of somethings.

Here's the biggest news story that nobody in the "news" is talking about. Via Soylent Green:
At Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.
I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.
How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate; of course he’ll sign it.
And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution, and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it.
So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I’ve read the treaty. I’ve seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not.
Yeah, that sounds like something Obama would do, but luckily a stroke of the POTUS pen isn't sufficient to bind us to a treaty. According to that dusty old Constitution two thirds of the Senate must ratify any treaty before it is law.

UPDATE: I found video of Mockton's address on YouTube.

So last night at 1:30AM my neighbor was sitting in her car (in her driveway, not her two car garage) with the stereo up so loud it probably woke up our whole street. I stomped over and knocked on the tinted window, and after about 45 seconds she rolled it down and I yelled at her. She apologized, saying "this da only place I got to kick it"...
Hasn't she ever heard of headphones? Or perhaps there's something more than music involved in "kicking it" that she didn't want her three kids (that she also woke up) to see?
I didn't smell any booze or pot, but she was definitely under the influence of something. She even apologized if she was "talkin funny" as I walked away. Do I have a damned crackhead living next door?!
About ten minutes later two sheriff's cars pulled up and after about ten minutes it looked like they loaded her in the back of one and took her away. She must be on probation for something else and they saw she was intoxicated. I'm sure she'll blame me for that... great.
This used to be a nice, quiet suburban neighborhood, but now I'm wishing I'd built out in the country somewhere instead. And it's only one or two families that ruin it, the rest are all fine folk. Sad to let the bad apples win, but that's the way things work I guess.
Anybody want to buy a ten year old three bedroom ranch with a cool basement game room, home theater and a free outdoor rap concert every Friday night?

The defecit numbers tell the tale:

And as dramatic as that chart is, it doesn't even take into account their pending universal healthcare entitlement and "cap and tax" energy legislation, which will dramatically increase spending while dramatically slowing the economy.
So why would they do such a thing? Some have suggested they may be trying to overwhelm our Capitalist system (the root of all evil in the world according to the far left) in order to force its replacement with Socialism, using a political strategy called Cloward-Piven.
From Wikipedia:
The Cloward-Piven strategy refers to a political strategy outlined by Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, then both sociologists and political activists at the Columbia University School of Social Work, in a 1966 article in The Nation. The two argued that many Americans who were eligible for welfare were not receiving benefits, and that a welfare enrollment drive would create a political crisis that would force U.S. politicians, particularly the Democratic Party, to enact legislation "establishing a guaranteed national income."
It sounds implausible for a sitting President and his party to conspire to deliberately make our economy worse, but their actions to date (rushing through massive spending, taxation and entitlement programs one after another), statements like Rahm Emanuel's "never let a serious crisis go to waste" comment, and these defecit numbers going forward give credence to what would otherwise be a ludicrous notion.
The Democrats are apparently trying to worsen the very economic downturn that they themselves are responsible for causing, and if we don't have a major course correction in the mid term elections it may be too late to stop them.

Via an e-mail from Paulie, and Snopes:
PO2 (EOD2) Mike Monsoor, a Navy EOD Technician, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously for jumping on a grenade in Iraq, giving his life to save his fellow Seals.
Here is an excerpt from the official Summary Of Action report that describes the incident in detail:
"While vigilantly watching for enemy activity, an enemy fighter hurled a hand grenade onto the roof from an unseen location. The grenade hit him in the chest and bounced onto the deck. He immediately leapt to his feet and yelled "grenade" to alert his teammates of impending danger, but they could not evacuate the sniper hide-sight in time to escape harm. Without hesitation and showing no regard for his own life, he threw himself onto the grenade, smothering it to protect his teammates who were lying in close proximity. The grenade detonated as he came down on top of it, mortally wounding him.
Petty Officer Monsoor's actions could not have been more selfless or clearly intentional. Of the three SEALs on that rooftop corner, he had the only avenue of escape away from the blast, and if he had so chosen, he could have easily escaped. Instead, Monsoor chose to protect his comrades by the sacrifice of his own life. By his courageous and selfless actions, he saved the lives of his two fellow SEALs and he is the most deserving of the special recognition afforded by awarding the Medal of Honor."
During Mike's funeral in San Diego, as his coffin was being moved from the hearse to the grave site at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery, SEALs were lined up on both sides of the pallbearers route forming a column of two's, with the coffin moving up the center. As Mike's coffin passed, each SEAL, having removed his gold Trident from his uniform, slapped it down embedding the Trident in the wooden coffin.
The slaps were audible from across the cemetery; by the time the coffin arrived grave side, it looked as though it had a gold inlay from all the Tridents pinned to it, a fitting send-off for a warrior hero.
In April 2008 Mike Monsoor was posthumously awarded our the Congressional Medal of Honor. Did you hear about it? Was it on the news? What's wrong with our media? What's wrong with our fellow citizens? Does our country even deserve men like Mike? Is it okay to have a hero who was in the military nowadays, or must all our heroes be community organizers and environmental crusaders? Is it too late to turn back this trend? If so what have we lost as a nation?
Think on it.

UPDATE: Here's a YouTube video of Mike's memorial service, including a short shot at the very end of the pins being slapped onto the casket.
UPDATE: Here's a link to a Wikipedia page on Michael. Did you know President Bush attended the funeral ceremony?

Since we are handing out prestigious awards based on future possibilites instead of real accomplishments, let's go all the way! Let's win the Heisman Trophy for Obama!!! After all, he's as qualified for that award as he was for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Via the Washington Examiner here's a link to an ESPN page where you can place your vote for the Heisman, including the option to write in your own candidate. Be sure to enter "Barack Obama" so his votes aren't split up between multiple spellings etc.

When I saw the headline I had to check my calendar. "Is it April first already?" I thought.
"U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for giving the world "hope for a better future" and striving for nuclear disarmament."
No. Sadly, it's not a joke, although the entire idea of a Nobel prize soon will be.
The Nobel committee's statement:
"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."
I see... so the prize wasn't so much about peace as it was about Obama and the Democrats working to castrate America and make it a docile lackey of the UN and EU.
Some perspective from the AP:
The awarding of the Nobel Peace Price to President Barack Obama landed with a shock on darkened, still-asleep Washington. He won! For what?
For one of America's youngest presidents, in office less than nine months — and only for 12 days before the Nobel nomination deadline last February — it was an enormous honor.
The prize seems to be more for Obama's promise than for his performance. Work on the president's ambitious agenda, both at home and abroad, is barely underway, much less finished. He has no standout moment of victory that would seem to warrant a verdict as sweeping as that issued by the Nobel committee.
And what about peace? Obama is running two wars in the Muslim world — in Iraq and Afghanistan — and can't get a climate change bill through his own Congress. -Associated Press
He was nominated before he'd finished his first two weeks in office. Are you kidding me? This really does make a mockery of the entire Nobel organization... and Norway, and Norwegians in general. You all suck in my book.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin has a great roundup of thought on this farce, including her awesome headline "Story of Obama’s life: “Rather than recognizing concrete achievement...”
UPDATE: I found some video of the Nobel committee debating the Obama peace prize. It sheds some light on their reasoning, or lack thereof... skip to about 40 seconds in for the good part.
UPDATE: Iowahawk chimes in with a remix of the post he did on Al Gore's Nobel "win" from 2007. Even replays of Iowahawk are hilarious.
UPDATE: Here's a list of Obama's accomplishments during the 12 days between his inauguration and nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.
UPDATE: Andy McCarthy at National Review pretty much nails it:
"The award is a symbolic statement of opposition to American exceptionalism, American might, American capitalism, American self-determinism, and American pursuit of America's interests in the world. That is why Obama could win it based on only ten days in office — merely by capturing the White House and the levers of power, he stands to do more for the Left's 'knock America off its pedestal' program than any figure in history."
Yes, that's precisely what this award really means.
UPDATE: Here's a great comment I found somwhere on the interwebs.
"This will be his albatross. He should have turned it down. Instead, he looks like a buffoon. I hope he wears it everywhere like Flavor Flav."

Here is the ugly side of Hugo Chavez's Socialist / Marxist revolution on display. A farmer who has spent the last twenty three years building a life and business watches as a group of red shirted thugs descends on his property and steals it out from under him.
Here's the video via Michelle Malkin:
Blogger Fausta Wertz translates for us gringos:
A group of red shirt-wearing Chavista thugs show up at a farm and seize the farm in the name of the government, under the pretext that the 103 hectare farm is “idle land” and that the law allows them to take it over for “food production.”
The farmer protests politely, explaining that he’s been raising cattle on his farm for 23 years. He is rebuffed by another guy, who says, “this is not going to be a debate; this is a public act approved by the Venezuelan people. I’m governor and I’m here to ensure public order. There won’t be a debate, I ask you to listen to the document, after which the public will take charge of the land.”
When the farmer’s wife protests, he tells her to discuss it in court.
Chavez controls the judiciary.
The farmer is told to sign the form, and then to gather the animals so they can be accounted for.
When another one of the people who lived at the farm tries to ask a question, the man who identified himself as the governor insists that “this is not a debate, this is not a meeting, and if there’s any disruption, the public force is here,” pointing to the crowd in red shirts.
This is exactly what's coming to America if we keep allowing Obama, Pelosi, Acorn and the unions to have their way with us.
If government's role in the auto industry doesn't cease, but grows, as well meaning politicians seek to prop up nationalized companies whose unions have already doomed them to failure, how long before they blame the auto dealers markup for low sales and start taking them over? They certainly won't ask for any sacrifices from their union voting base.
If government's role in the healthcare follows the Democrats not so secret plan to kill the private insurance industry how long before they decide to nationalize your doctor's office? I can't see a government run back end with a privately run front end lasting too long. They'll want to streamline it "for the greater good" and make all those employees of the doctors union members (Democrat voters) and ensure that doctors can't make "too much" money.
The Democrat's have already taken us quite a ways down this road. Hopefully Americans are waking up and seeing what's at the end of it (what this video illustrates) and will give us a course correction in 2010. If not... well you just saw what will happen if not.

I loved Cosmos when I was a kid. After Star Wars came out I'd watch anything space-related and be thrilled, even PBS documentaries. My mother gave me the Cosmos book for Christmas when I was ten, and I thought it was the coolest thing I got that year... Yes, I've always been a geek.
Imagine my geeky surprise when I found two of my geek heroes were combined into this pretty sweet music video!
It's actually pretty good. I'll probably even go hunting for an MP3 file later.

UPDATE: This was created by Color Pulse Music, and you can download the MP3 on their website!

I almost forgot to post a babe this weekend! Time is short, so here's the first one I ran across over at Hollywood Tuna, bikini babe extraordinaire Denise Milani:

Yeah... That'll do nicely.

If you don't pay careful attention something brilliant gets posted at The People's Cube and you miss it, like this beauty from February.

I must have been slacking that week. A belated kudos to Red Square.
P.S. I actually own a real People's Cube. It sits on the bookshelf in my office next to the original Rubik's Cube, and makes a great conversation piece.

Late night
funny man nasty jerk David Letterman announced to his audience yesterday that he had been having sexual relations with female members of his staff and had been the target of a shakedown. While I commend Letterman for going to the authorities and coming clean with his audience, I do find it more than a little ironic.
Verum Serum apparently agrees, because they beat me to the punch. Here are some highlights (lowlights?) from a list they compiled of David Letterman joking about the sex scandals of politicians.
“Gov. Mark Sanford disappeared…and it turned out he was in South America. And then it turned out he was down there because he was sleeping with a woman from Argentina. Once again, foreigners taking jobs that Americans won’t do.” –David Letterman
“Several prominent Republicans are calling on Sen. Larry Craig to resign. And a couple are asking for his phone number.” –David Letterman
“David Vitter has admitted he dates hookers in Washington, D.C., and also in Louisiana. He said in his defense he always selected the girl who made the lowest bid, so he’s fiscally prudent.” –David Letterman
“The Republicans reacted quickly. They transferred Foley to a different parish.” –David Letterman
“You know who was in town this weekend, went to a Yankee game? Sarah Palin … One awkward moment, though, during the game. Maybe you heard about it, maybe you saw it on one of the highlight reels, one awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game. During the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.” –David Letterman
I'm really having a hard time finding any sympathy for Dave. They say you reap what you sow, and this seems like some perfectly appropriate cosmic justice to me.
