Change The Channel, Yo!

President Obama

Outrage in the US over the publication of what is, in fact, a humorous comment on the state of their mainstream media (A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?), and the level of debate of their political right.

Lets see what else happened over the last few days;

US air strike killed 47 wedding guests
US ‘killed 47 Afghan civilians’
US to investigate air strike that killed 47 Afghan civilians
Nine US troops killed in Afghanistan
US suffers heavy Afghan losses
Nine US troops killed in fresh wave of attacks by Taliban
Militants breached US Afghan base
US troops abandon Afghan outpost
Revealed: How Guantanamo pushes inmates to the edge
First Guantanamo video released

Not much going on. Naturally the cover of the New Yorker should take precedence.

It’s All In The Game, Yo!

Tim Russert was a mediocre journalist. A partisan hack. Incredibly one of the best America had to offer. How embarassing…

And for those among us who think Americans are a serious bunch, a stoic people preoccupied with exploitation, genocide, and [rascism / bigotry / chauvinism], check out this comment from a blogpost mourning the passing of the greatest American journalist since Edward R. Murrow (ahem);

Don’t you think that the potential BRAIN DAMAGE TO OBAMA FROM COCAINE USE should be an issue in the campaign?

Former drug users experience all sorts of health problems, many times years after they have stopped using drugs.

Crack cocaine is know to put holes in people’s brains and the fabric of their brain cells - Has Obama told us if he used regular cocaine or crack cocaine or both?

So Beth Martin, don’t you think that these questions are a great deal more important than the one you bring up?

Thank you all for your consideration of this matter. Maybe we should get a cat-scan of Obama’s brain to see if the cocaine has affected his ability to think clearly - I have my doubts to be honest - he may not be the same person who went to Harvard - from Harvard to William Ayers to Rev. Jeremiah Wright - with drug use along the way.

America cracks me up, yo!

The Case Of The Terror Scarf, Yo!


An example of crazy Western extremism;

The US chain Dunkin’ Donuts has pulled an advert following complaints that the scarf worn by a celebrity chef offered symbolic support for Islamic extremism.

In a statement, Dunkin’ Donuts said the silk scarf had been “selected by Rachael Ray’s stylist and that no symbolism was intended.

“But given the possibility of misperception the commercial was no longer being used.”

“Fashion statements may seem insignificant, but when they lead to the mainstreaming of violence - unintentionally or not - they matter,” Ms Malkin has written.

Sadly, the Michelle Malkin comedy revue rolls on.
