Red meat: secession!

It’s understandable, what with the whopping deficit that Barry & the Dems are running up, that Texas Gov. Rick Perry would want to run for re-election against the federal government. Especially when his likely primary opponent is U.S. Senator Kay Baily Hutchinson.

So, on the occasion of the Tax Day Tea Party protest, Perry decided to throw Big Media and its liberal pals a little red meat about potential secession. Not that Texas would or could. Can’t keep our sales and property taxes relatively low (not to mention no income tax at all) without all those federal dollars. But it’s nice to see a independent action now and then from the Repubs.

UPDATE:  The Seablogger gives Rick more credit than I think he deserves, but he makes other, better points. Rick Perry for president in 2012? That would be interesting. I expect he’ll concentrate on getting re-elected governor, first.

Brutal satire

Big Media, so in the tank for Barry it has to breathe through a straw, struggles to find the news angle in a brutal murder. (Yeah, I know, they’re all "brutal muder." But what the hey. It’s familiar, right?)

President Pantywaist

Well, at least one Euro was unimpressed with Barry’s first around-the-world whirl, to say the least:

"So The One retired triumphant, having secured a massive contribution of 5,000 extra troops – all of them non-combatant, of course – which must really have put the wind up the Taliban, at the prospect of 5,000 more infidel cooks and bottle-washers swarming into the less hazardous regions of Afghanistan."

Not to mention his brilliant, mid-tour non-response to the North Korean missile launch: 

"President Pantywaist is hopping mad and he has a strategy to cut Kim down to size: he is going to slice $1.4bn off America’s missile defence programme, presumably on the calculation that Kim would feel it unsporting to hit a sitting duck, so that will spoil his fun."

Well, we already knew Barry was President Thin-skin and all that goes with that little defect. But it’s nice to read some news about him for a change. Only odd that we have to go across the pond for it.

MORE:  Bowing, or licking Saudi Muslim King Abdullah’s boots? I say bowing, but you never know. As one commenter at the link said, we can be pleased it was not a curtsy.

Those fighting frogs

While Barry dithers over a pirate hostage-taking, the original surrender monkeys go to battle stations.

UPDATE:  The price of dithering. More hostages taken in another U.S.-flagged vessel. Meanwhile, humor via the Seablogger, as Barry reaches out to the "moderate pirate community." Yeah, that’ll work.

MORE: Barry must have finally gotten the message, because the Navy has freed the first hostage.

Rug burn

Barry’s bow to the Muslim king was a lot deeper bow than Bush’s dip for his medal and Barry got no medal. Well, no medal yet, anyhow.

UPDATE: Barry denies he bowed. Who ya gonna believe? Barry, or your lying eyes?

Is Barry secretly a Muslim?

Beats me. I know he was raised as one, but few are the children who get to decide what, if any, religious services they attend. But if he isn’t secretly a Muslim, why is it his first instinct to bow low to a Saudi king? Bush held the king’s hand. Some of Big Media howled at that.

Now, of course, the lapdog press, good Democrats all, are saying nothing. Yet Barry apparently did not bow to Queen Elizabeth. He seems to have reserved his bow for a Muslim king–even if he seems to have tried to stop himself at the last second. American presidents are not supposed to bow to kings and queens. But too few Americans know history these days. So it’s probable that not many will care, even if they ever find out what he did. Or why.

UPDATE:  Bush bowed to Abdullah, too! Mea culpa, mea culpa. So the Saudi suckup goes on and on.
