On the million to one chance you haven't yet heard,
Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last week, further
solidifying the the left's long-held policy of rewarding intentions instead of results.
Unfortunately, Obama
missed out on the Nobel Prize for Economics.
On the same day the world was rejoicing over the Messiah's new honor, Iran threatened
to blow up the heart of Israel and Defense Secretary Gates announced that the
Taliban
has gained momentum in Afghanistan because of the inability of the U.S.
and its allies to put enough troops into the country. Speaking of new troops for
Afghanistan:
GOVERNMENT AT WORK:
Nearly two dozen House liberals have signed onto a bill introduced this past week
that would
prohibit an increase of troops in Afghanistan. The House,
fortunately, had enough time left to put Congress on the verge of significantly
expanding hate crimes law - to make it a federal crime to
assault people because of their sexual orientation. Just think of how many lives
are being saved, or not.
Kiss the dollar good-bye |
The United Nations called on Tuesday for a new global reserve
currency to
end dollar supremacy which has allowed the United States the "privilege"
of building a huge trade deficit.
In a graphic illustration of the new world order, dueling
headlines report that Arab states have launched secret moves with China, Russia
and France to stop using the US currency for oil trading. Or not.
Meanwhile, the federal budget deficit tripled to a
record $1.4 trillion for the 2009 fiscal year that ended last week and the credibility
of the government's $700 billion financial rescue program was
damaged by claims a year ago that all of the initial banks receiving support
were healthy, a new report contends. Yawn.
White House passes out white coats to assembled doctors
As the dollar hovers on the brink of extinction, our president was busy with
a cool new photo op and health care speech. Just in case
you missed his 24/7 message of the (new) health crisis and his courageous determination
to replace 17% of the US economy with one run by the government, he handed out white
coats to the gathering of doctors he was addressing. Most of whom, by the way, were
his campaign contributors. Fair and balanced?
Fox News doesn't think so, which is why the White House is having to
spend more time attacking the news network. "Let’s not pretend
they're a news network the way CNN is." and "They're a research arm of the Republican
Party" are but a few of their new soundbites.
Some quickies:
* The Obama administration is
curbing the powers of Arizona sheriff Joe Arpai, who has
led one of the most contentious fights against illegal immigrants.
* Politicians with ties to land developers are
trying to force the Navy to hand over one of the most valuable
pieces of property in the country for free.
* The Obama administration has
repealed a rule that would have threatened employers with prosecution unless
they fired workers whose Social Security numbers did not match entries in a government
database.
* ACORN was
caught throwing out Republican voter registrations
* The Obama administration has
blocked drilling at 60 sites in Utah. Guess we'll have to
keep on relying on our Arab buddies for our energy needs. Maybe some day soon Obama
will convince them to quit
handing over that money to the terrorists. Sigh.
CULTURE:
A new
Ralph Lauren advertisement that shows a model, Filippa Hamilton,
so emaciated that her waist actually appears to be smaller than her head.
China is seeing the result of their 39 year-old one child policy. The gender imbalance
has now resulted in 30 million Chinese
men with no wives. Guess they'll just have to join the PLA.
The notion of God as the Creator is wrong,
claims a top academic, who believes the Bible has been wrongly
translated for thousands of years. Hey, if he's an academic, he's automatically
credible. Right?
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said women soon
will serve on submarines, suggesting a reversal of the long-standing
ban by the Navy. Expect a surge of new lawyers specializing in sexual harassment.
I guess that's one way to create new jobs.
OF INTEREST:
The global Muslim population
stands at 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly 1 in 4 people
in the world practice Islam. Good thing Islam is a religion of peace.
Obama's school age daughters
have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu even though
the CDC recommends that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a
vaccination.
Domestic terrorist and Obama buddy
Bill Ayers claims he wrote Obama's "Dreams From My Father."
Once again, you probably heard it here first.
IDIOT OF THE WEEK AWARD:
This week's winner is White House science czar John Holdren who predicts
1 billion people will die in "carbon-dioxide induced famines" in a coming
new ice age by 2020.
So many idiots, so little space. Check out

tomorrow for the complete list of RightBias Idiot Awards.
Until next week, keep smiling. Most Americans know a pantywaist like Obama and the
nutcases currently in charge won't be successful in implementing their socialist,
utopian agenda.
