Obama
New controversial medical study ensures that cervical cancer will be the breast cancer of next week. One more’s a trendpiece! [New York Times] Members of Congress were very busy and shouty last night in trying to decide who they hated more: Obama or Geithner… [Washington Post] …while Catholic bishops easily picked Obama. [AP] Please do [...]
OBAMA IS THAT BRAGGY MACABRE GUY ON VACATION: “‘It’s magical,’ Mr. Obama said, walking down a ramp alone, his hands in his pockets. ‘It reminds you of the sweep of history and our time here on earth is not that long. We better make the best of it.’” [WSJ]
A lot of gynecologists and other lady and/or oncological doctors disagree completely with yesterday’s new things about mammography announcement. [New York Times] Obama admitted that Gitmo is not going to close by January. This makes keeping his promise to close Gitmo by January a considerably tenuous one. [Washington Post] Between fraud and anything having to [...]
Barack Obama sent himself to Asia to convince everyone over there that he is not distracted or whatever by various goings-on in Afghanistan and Iraq. [New York Times] Say farewell to the White House’s rhyming general counsel, Gregory Craig, who is quitting his job today. [Washington Post] Nidal Hasan will probably face the death penalty. [...]
BLAZING SADDLES IS LIKE OBAMA’S STAR WARS FOREIGN POLICY, YEAH?: So exactly how little power does Obama have over Hamid Karzai?: “‘You know that scene in the movie Blazing Saddles, when Cleavon Little holds the gun to his own head and threatens to shoot himself?’ asked Ronald E. Neumann, a former ambassador to Afghanistan.” [New [...]
Obama is just pretending to have any sway within the Obama/Hamid Karzai powercouple. [New York Times] A bunch of people in the Army were very encouraging of Nidal Hasan’s religious phase, and some even suggested he take college courses about Islam. Should we purge the Army of anyone who self-identifies as a “supportive friend” too?? [...]
Well it is ABOUT TIME someone spoke out about Obama’s malicious treatment of Rihanna that night like a year ago when her boyfriend, Rihanna’s Boyfriend, hit her. And look, we already have the Daily Beast, explicitly designed for the publication and promotion of such a crucial polemic:
Watch combative, raisin-shaped philosopher-king Rupert Murdoch beg for attention: “[the following was said in an Australian accent, which, according to the Chicago Manual of Style, should be indicated using the 'underline' option]: mumble mumble aye oy yes Glenn Beck was riiiight to call Obama a raycist b’cause sum of the comments Obama mayde were raycist [...]
Obama’s team is willing to send some 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, though it remains to be seem how much moral (and otherwise) support will be provided by Afghanistan and Pakistan. [New York Times] The DC sniper was executed via lethal injection last night. He had no final words, just one final insane blank stare. [Washington [...]
It has been let’s see, around 20 hours or something since the Ft. Hood massacre, so it was weird that someone who lives on the Internet hadn’t suggested a connection between Obama and alleged gunman Nidal Malik Hasan. So yes, quite sorry for the delay, but conspiracy theorist dilettante Jerome Corsi would like to do [...]
Oh everyone look at Matt Drudge’s new failing meme: Obama, he’s so skinny right?, because of the exercise and the oversized t-shirts he likes to wear while exercising. Wrong. He is definitely chain smoking and throwing up all the low-calorie food he isn’t eating, and definitely not simply working out, as he is pictured doing [...]
The White House released its visitors’ log, which was something people cared about whenever everyone was earnest about Transparency like a few months ago. Obama released 481 names—which is actually only a selection of all the visitors—but the list is like the Oscars Red Carpet + a visitors’ log from a prison in the 70s [...]
Last night’s baseball match went smashingly/terribly—depending on whether you were in a sports bar with mostly blue decorations or mostly red ones. [Reuters] Ahmadinejad implied that Iran would do everyone a favor and would indeed be enriching its uranium elsewhere. [New York Times] There’s not enough Tamiflu for all America’s children, which means Obama will [...]
So Dick Cheney told Obama to stop “dithering”! Haha, oh, right! Yes, he’ll get right on that… ceasing to dither. This is a hilarious and formidable old man insult used to express one’s displeasure with the lack of bombs and troops and guns and bombs and shit currently being sent to Afghanistan. “Having announced his [...]
Two completely random European journalists are requesting credit for the fall of the Berlin Wall. See, they were the ones who asked tuff questions about it! No one had even THOUGHT about knocking it down—that is, before the quality of their journalism alluded to it. [WSJ] Actual winner of Afghanistan’s election, Abdullah Abduallah, might team [...]
