President Doofus

So, apparently, The One is firing off letters to Italy without knowing who’s in charge over there.

He also sent a letter to Italian President Giorgio Napolitano (a member of the now defunct Communist Party), expressing confidence that the United States and Italy would work together “to overcome the current global political and economic hardships and build a safer world.”  The only problem with the letter was that the Italian president does not make policy; that power resides with the prime minister and his cabinet.  Perhaps the White House czars have issued an ukaz stipulating that the American president writes only to his peers, and thus instead of addressing himself to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, President Obama wrote to a man who holds an almost entirely ceremonial position.

Luckily for The Messiah His name isn’t Bush or the press would never let him live this down.

Don’t read the rest of the article or you’ll just see how Barry is fumbling Iran.

De-Baptism?

Remember those guys who put the wrong message on the busses in England? They, and others like them, are trying to get de-baptised from their churches.

I’m having a very hard time following the logic here. If the state of being baptised or not has meaning then that implies that the religion is valid. If the religion is a fantasy whether or not one is baptised carries no weight.

I suppose it means that just because someone has moved beyond faith doesn’t mean they’ve learned to think, or have reflected at all upon life.

I suggest these “rationalists” just move on and get a life.

We’re in the best of hands

Good thing nobody in the Messiah Administration would do something as provocatively stupid as tell a crazy enemy that they are free to flout international law and launch a missile. Because that, you know, would be insane.

Almost as insane as the president of the United States telling the CEO of a major corporation to resign. That would take weapons-grade hubris.

Homeless with a Cell Phone

Apparently some conservatives are using this to bash Michelle Obama.

I say “apparently” because the only references that showed up in a quick web search were left-wing sites complaining about “conservatives criticizing Michelle”. But there may be some.

Fooey. This is a perfectly appropriate sort of thing for a First Lady to be doing, and you won’t catch me complaining about anybody making mushroom risotto. That’s food of the gods as far as I’m concerned.

As was cleverly pointed out in the L.A. Times a “homeless” person probably isn’t going to have a mobile phone (why do people still call them cell phones when cell phones are all but extinct?) because you sort of need a billing address.

What this picture tells me is that a) there are probably Michelle Obama sycophants willing to pretend to be “poor and homeless” just for some risotto (and I can’t say I entirely blame them) and that b) there really is no such thing as poverty in this country.

I don’t think the soup lines of the previous depression served mushroom risotto.
