From another message board I frequent.
t's been a good week in politics:
1. Hillary Rodham Willy, upset at her inept boss's Libya debacle, says she will not return as Secretary of State or run for any public office. Ding dong. Ms. Willy is also upset that the television program NCIS protrays an attempt to kill her.
2. Some idiot congressman from Massachusetts (of course) says that the federal government should spend no further money advertising on Fox News and is introducing legislation to that effect. Probably a better idea to advertise on Rachel Maddow's little program and reach the three Americans who watch her.
3. Japan is melting down, Libya is on fire, the American economy is on the rocks and our hard working president gives us his March Madness picks then heads to the golf course.
4. Congressional democrats are calling on our talented and articulate president to tap the strategic oil reserve to ease rising gas prices. The reserve is around 700 million barrels and is finite. Did it occur to these bright young democrats that a better idea would be to open up drilling off shore and in ANWR. Nah, we can't drill our way out of this anymore than we could farm our way out of a famine. Same logic, right?
5. Our Irish president dyed the White House fountain green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Will the ACLU lodge a protest about the religious nature of St. Patrick's day and sue Obama on First Amendment grounds?
6. Monica Lewinsky's former boyfriend was known for his civil discourse - red-faced with rage, wagging his boney finger at people and cameras, lying and suborning lies. So, naturally, our bright young president appoints Cigar Willy to co-chair a new national institute on civil discourse. Cigar was a lucky president during mostly happy years and has been a rash on the body politic ever since. (H/T to National Review)
7. Obama says his job would be easier if he had the same powers as the premier of China - that is, dictatorial powers. Didn't (deleted) lose what passes for his mind for about five years after GW Bush said something similar? I'll save you the trouble of looking it up. He did.
