Raptor over Monroe

F22a.jpg

Not sure of the provenence of this photo, which is making the email forwardings rounds. But, in addition to the F-22 Raptor, I like the view of Fortress Monroe in the background, at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. I like to visit the fort when I’m in the area, to see the casemate in the bastion (to the left of the center one there facing the jet’s cockpit) where Confederate President Jefferson Davis was imprisoned after the Civil War. Poet Edgar Allen Poe was an artillerly NCO there before he was famous as a writer of horror stories. Monroe also was the headquarters of the army’s recruiting command, when I was in recruiting back in 1970-71. Recruiting’s HQ has since moved elsewhere.

Put a sock in it

Michelle Obama, that is, and her phony socialist career advice. While she’s pulling down six figures as a hotshot lawyer she’s advising others to become low-paid teachers, social workers and nurses. And, above all, to stay away from corporate America. Less competition for Michelle, you see.

Barrack Hussein Obama

Posted on March 2, 2008 | Comments Off on Barrack Hussein Obama

Since we’ve been told, without any subtlety whatsoever by his pushy wife, that calling Barry by his full name, to include his historically-unfortunate middle one "is racist," I am now determined to do so whenever it suits me. And it’s likely to do so repeatedly. I despise these politically-correct racism proclamations and refuse to play along. And, as TigerHawk mentions, there is plenty of historical precedent for mocking a pol’s name.  Although I still prefer the light–and wholly accurate–irreverence of Barry, the name the Imperfect Vessel used in high school, when he was far less pretentious.

Bad Barry

Posted on March 1, 2008 | Comments Off on Bad Barry

Mr. Hope and Change is a phony and a liar when it comes to NAFTA. No surprise there. Just wait’ll his political fixer pal Tony Rezko goes on trial. But I wonder if he really does hate America. I think he’s headed for defeat in the general election in the heartland, anyhow, but that would cinch it. Meanwhile, his secular preacher routine is getting a little frayed.

Of Tony and Barry

Posted on February 28, 2008 | Comments Off on Of Tony and Barry

Finally, a laser beam cuts through the convoluted murk veiling Mr. Hope and Change and Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko:

"The significance of this relationship is that it proves that Barack Obama is not who he claims to be – a new kind of politician who will lead us all to the Promised Land. Obama can lie like any normal politician. He can do favors for his supporters who give him money. He can do business with scam artists like Rezko whose illegal activities authorities are still trying to unravel."

Rick Moran even elucidates the tale of that little urban garden Tony’s wife helped Barry expand.

The left hand washing the right

Posted on February 28, 2008 | Comments Off on The left hand washing the right

The amazing thing about the Clintons is that they tip everybody off when they’re doing something smarmy, as if they really want to be caught. So when Hilarity refused to follow the norm of presidential candidates past and release her’s and Bad Bill’s tax returns, it was apparent that something was afoot.

Enough politics already

Posted on February 26, 2008 | Comments Off on Enough politics already

Okay, that’s enough on Barry. Even I am getting tired of writing his name. Besides, I have my domestic tranquility to think of, and I am already being accused of too much cynicism in the face of Barry’s niceness. And his hope. Did I mention his hope? Mr. Hope, to be polite about it.
