Van? Van? Are you in there?

Yes, I have been away for awhile. Life has intervened in this fun side job. I would apologize but since no one reads this it is really not that big of a deal.

Way to go Barry with this guy. I have spent a fair amount of time pointing out the decisions made by Barry in regards to people he has selected for his cabinet and various positions. See previous articles if you are interested. It seems that his selections are chosen out of a hat with very little vetting. Here is a trifecta of wonderful examples of why this guy sucks:

Barry.. Will you ’save’ his job?

D'oh!

America was worried about Palin? As I have pointed out in other posts, the current Veep has this much adored personality of being the king of gaffe’s. He is sooooo much cuter than W and Gerald Ford, I mean he HAS been touched by tragedy, hasn’t he??? On a more serious note, I have also wondered when this will be of any concern to anyone? Bueller? From Newsweek:

Ever wonder about that secure, undisclosed location where Dick Cheney secreted himself after the 9/11 attacks? Joe Biden reveals the bunker-like room is at the Naval Observatory in Washington, where Cheney lived for eight years and which is now home to Biden. The veep related the story to his head-table dinner mates when he filled in for President Obama at the Gridiron Club earlier this year. He said the young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment. The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall.

Wow! What next Joe? The codes for the football?

Well, he is at it again.  Ultra-lovable and all around good guy, according to the media (did you know he has been touched by tragedy?), VP Joe Biden made quite a statement this morning on The Today Show.  I must admit while watching it and enjoying my bowl of Passion Mango Granola I snapped out of my inhaling when I heard Matt Lauer ask him what he would tell his family if they were about to travel on a plane.  After asking Joe Biden a deeply personal question it is always a very fun and suspenseful moment when waiting for his answer. Here it is:

Joe. . .probably best to stick with the administration’s answer and not always say what you would do.  I know you suffer from some of the same narcissistic qualities as Barry; but you work for someone Joe, and people do listen to you now.  I am also sure that the airlines will use this as an excuse for bailout funds due to the large amount of cancelled plane tickets made today and in the near future.

Whew! That took a long time.Can I sleep now?

As I have noted in many entries (see ‘Cabinet’ under the categories section), the irony of the party that loves to tax Americans nominating people who have trouble paying their taxes to offices of extreme influence has made me laugh on many occasions.  So it is a bit sad for me today as the last of the tax cheats has been signed, sealed, and delivered into the Obama cabinet (from CNN.COM):

“Sebelius also revealed in March that she recently paid nearly $8,000 in back taxes and interest. She said she had errors in her 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax returns.”

Happy she is in to take care of the swine flu, but I will miss Big Janet and her amazingly articulate press conferences as she stood in for the ex-Gov.

We are coming to get you lady

As posted on 4/17/09 Janet is doing an excellent job of mucking up her position as the head of the DHS. After stating clearly that vets can be viewed as extremists and potential terrorist threats, she has gone ahead and gotten on the bad side of Canada. Canada you ask? Yes, Canada. Other than a good Molson or occasional joke about a French-Canadian rarely does one hear much about our friends up north. In the spirit of kicking a puppy or shaking a baby, that did not stop Janet from stating that some of the terrorists from 9/11 and others have entered our country via the border we share. From Michelle Malkin (I like the picture and am psyched that I used it first!-Thanks Gent):

You see…I am not one of the people looking to get her fired. I like this! She is a perfect example of someone very similar to our president, not ready for prime time. She actually illuminates my previous points and proofs regarding the vetting process. Keep it up Janet and maybe your boss will actually have to make a hard decision on his own.

Watch Out Veterans!

Well, what can you say? Right wing extremists are not just a figment of Hillary Clinton’s imagination, now they have found their way as a terrorist threat and they are actually people who have fought to defend our country! SHHH, this is a secret that only she knows. Read the actual DHS release first:

http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1239817562001.shtm

Now, in an apology only befitting a person who just realized that she potentially cost her boss any shot at the veteran vote (IF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT) and just made an amazingly nutty mistake (From Fox News):

“If there’s one part of this report that I would rewrite … it would be that footnote,” Napolitano said.

Uh, duh?  I heard her in an actual interview on television not taking any blame for the final copy and that it was ‘legalese’ after the document had left her hands.  Sound familiar?  The facts are these:
1. Another awful person in Obama’a cabinet
2. Another anti-military leftist pig who does not recognize the importance of our military men and women in the protection and security of our country past, present and future. How you gonna call to defend your Arizona border, Janet?
3. Another embarrassment for Obama’s cabinet-Do you remember the scorn for Ashcroft? He did nothing comparable to this beast-Where is the love, media?
4. She is ugly

This has become a constant theme, joke, irony, contradiction, fiasco and joke (yes again!) for this administration. The party that loves to tax has members who do not like to pay their own taxes. Irony here? Well, Kansas where the future Health and Human Services head is the Governor has actually suspended its issuing of state tax returns due to its financial issues! Nice. Barry, vet these people, for the love of everything please stop this. I believe she is number 6, maybe 7?

Where is the national news on this? That’s right, way too busy seeing what Jackie O, er I mean Michelle is wearing.

O.K. This is a bit tough as a huge Steelers fan but here we go.

Fact: Life Long Republican
Fact: Family is responsible for being in charge of the #1 NFL franchise ever
Fact: Supported Obama (see “Super Bowl Sunday”) under categories
Fact: First words out of mouth after Steelers win was to thank the President
Fact: He is the new ambassador to Ireland

I refuse to believe there is any possibility that Dan Rooney would ever do anything shady.Ever.

Rooney has been an incredible advocate for all of Ireland (even though he is half Irish) for years. HOWEVER, if you pay you can play and I would never put anything past this president regarding rewarding support. In essense, Rooney was a touchdown for him and we know what a great job he does with those folks.

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/postedsports/archive/2009/03/17/steelers-chairman-rooney-named-ambassador-to-ireland.aspx

I hope the 76 year old Rooney enjoys his post and still pays attention to his franchise. We expect to win #7 this year and do not want him to be distracted.

A little late on this but here is someone with formal Socialist ties who was appointed by Obama as his Climate Czar. In this case, the term ‘Czar’ is very appropriate. Remember not all positions need to get Congressional approval so Obama made sure this one did not have to go through any scrutiny in front of the cameras. I still consider these people Cabinet members. Anyone who advises him is HIS selection.Here is a suggestion: Put a lock on your A/C because soon it could be controlled by the United States government:

Yes, O.K. this new fresh face in the Obama administration was not the target of the raid BUT his associates who worked in his office were. Does it get any better that this?

What do you think he will do while he is ‘on leave’? I am looking forward to hearing, seeing and listening to this one or will it all disappear?
