Thank you, Massachusetts!

Thank you for ending the Democrats' stranglehold on the Senate. But you have to feel kind of sorry for the troika of Obama, Reid, and Pelosi. They thought they'd have two full years to turn the United States into the Soviet Socialist Republic of America. But they only had a year and they didn't get it done. What a shame.

South Bend, Indiana: Kill children, not dogs

In South Bend, a stoned driver who killed two little girls gets ten days in jail:

St. Joseph Superior Court Judge Richard McCormick sentenced 56-year-old Leroy Hoover to 60 days in jail Thursday with 50 days suspended.

I guess McCormick couldn't bear to see Hoover spend the whole 60 days in the slammer. Ten days isn't a sentence, it's an endorsement. There's probably some reason that McCormick and Hoover shouldn't spend the rest of their lives sharing a cell, but I don't know what it would be.

In other news from South Bend, residents are outraged that a burglar shot and killed a dog that was suffering from bone cancer:

Gina Oliver created one of the reward funds after reading about the disturbing crime. She says the robbers "crossed a line that no one should ever cross."

I sympathize with the dog's owner, Dan Warner; I've experienced the shock of a beloved pet's sudden and unexpected death. But on a scale of "disturbing" crimes deserving of outrage, on the list of lines that "no one should ever cross", killing children really should rank higher than killing a dog.

Maybe not in South Bend.

Obamanation: Fun, shout-outs, and - oh, yeah - dead soldiers

Does anyone believe that Obama has respect for our military? If so, his shameful conduct following the shootings at Fort Hood should clarify things. He doesn't. He cares about his political cronies, frauds like ACORN, his communist advisors, and terrorists like William Ayers, but American soldiers? Not so much.

The murdered American soldiers at Fort Hood were just an afterthought to our "Commander-in-Chief". See Robert George's story or just go straight to the YouTube video of his casual afterthoughts about the tragedy. A truly stomach-turning performance by a dreadful President.

Obamanation: Building on lies

Obama has told us we need a public health insurance option to "keep insurance companies honest." An unlikely source - the AP - has taken a modest step toward keeping him (and serial liars Nancy Pelosi and moveon.org) a little more honest.

To quote the lead from this story:

What do these enterprises have in common? Farm and construction machinery, Tupperware, the railroads, Hershey sweets, Yum food brands and Yahoo? Answer: They're all more profitable than the health insurance industry.

It turns out the health insurance industry's "obscene profits" (Pelosi) don't actually exist. It seems the willingness of the health insurance industry to "let the bodies pile up as long as their profits are safe" is no match for the willingness of moveon.org to lie about it.

Pharmas and other health care providers did much better than the insurers. But a public option is not intended to "keep them honest". Its intent is to drive them out of business altogether and make every American (except for Congress and privileged Government elites, of course) dependent on the government for health care. It's the very foundation for establishing the nightmare of Obamanation.

Just a reminder - the source for this post is not Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or the Republican National Committee. It's the left-leaning AP.

Obamanation: The Nobel joke

Ya gotta love those crazy Norwegians! An amateur statesman who has accomplished precisely nothing gets the Nobel Peace Prize. But before we start taking this silliness too seriously, let's look at the real reasons. This won't take long. The prize serves two obvious purposes, one backward-facing and one forward-facing:

1. Giving this prize to a ten-month U.S. President who has done nothing to earn it serves as a repudiation of his predecessor. There being no Nobel War Prize to give to Bush, they did the next best thing and gave the "Peace" prize to Obama.
2. Giving this prize to America's first true socialist President serves as a repudiation of capitalism. If it weren't for point 1, they may have given it to Propagandist Mikey Moore instead.

That's it. The prize serves no other purpose. Well, no, it does serve an unintended purpose: It provides stark evidence of how politicized and corrupt the whole Nobel Prize industry has become. There were candidates who actually deserved to win the Prize and could have used the money to further real work, not just raw political ambition.

Obamanation

'Nuff said for now. And no, this post is not the answer to the question in the previous post....
