Our First Pacific President??

Our “smartest President ever” is a moron. From Politico:
Trying to reassure allies and rivals, President Barack Obama billed himself Saturday as “America’s first Pacific president,” promising the nations of Asia “a new era of engagement with the world based on mutual interests and mutual respect.”
“America’s first Pacific President” took office forty years ago, and [...]

Saturday Morning Open Thread

Fred is obviously an Obot.
 
What are you doing this morning?

When the President does it . . .

 
This way to the Egress:
 
In the first major shakeup among President Barack Obama’s senior staff, White House Counsel Greg Craig is being pushed out in favor of veteran Democratic lawyer Bob Bauer because of a dispute over plans to close the U.S. military prison in Cuba, CNN has learned.
The move will be announced by the [...]

This ain’t your daddy’s Country and Western

Last night the Country Music Association had their annual awards show. Taylor Swift was the big CMA winner, with four awards: Album of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.
For those of you who weren’t paying attention at the [...]

Somebody call a waah-mbulance!

Apparently Lambert got his feelings hurt because his comments got moderated here at The Confluence. He wasn’t banned, his comments just got put in the moderation queue and required approval before appearing.
He was so upset he ran back to Corrente and put up a post complaining about how mean and unfair we are.
Boo-fricking-hoo.
I didn’t [...]

Veterans Day Wake-up

Today is an annual holiday where we honor our military veterans with parades, ceremonies and discount sales. Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day on November 11, 1919 to celebrate the end of World War I, and it called that until it was changed by Congress to Veterans Day in 1954. There are approximately [...]

Was it good for you too?

 
Marc Ambinder gets his groove on:
 
The Best Speech Obama’s Given Since…Maybe Ever
Today, at Ft. Hood. I guarantee: they’ll be teaching this one in rhetoric classes. It was that good. My gloss won’t do it justice. Yes, I’m having a Chris Matthews-chill-running-up-my-leg moment, but sometimes, the man, the moment and the words come together and meet [...]

Good thing that Palin b*tch didn’t get elected, huh?

 
Remember last year when the Forces of Darkness almost put “Rape Kit” Sarah and her scary lady parts in the Oval Office? Luckily, the Obamacrats spread the word that Bible Spice and her Crypt Keeper running mate intended to restrict women’s right to choose, and truth, justice and the American way were saved!
 
Just imagine [...]

Is Obama a space alien?

 
From the Chicago Tribune:
 
Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering [...]

Wōden’s Day Wake-up

Those of us who practice that “old-time religion” know that today was named for the Anglo-Saxon god Wōden. He is the pagan god of death, battle, wisdom, discoverer of the runes and leader the Wild Hunt.
 
Election Results:
 
Republicans swept contests for governor in New Jersey and Virginia on Tuesday as voters went to the polls [...]
