Gulf of Mexico; Oil Spill 2010

Putting a Cap on rhetoric -- a Caddy's Cap that is ...
retrievals by Pat Darnell and the Herd  |   [HERE]   |  Golfing Obama whacks yachting Hayward
by Andrew Bolt Blog  |  Monday, June 21, 2010

"You wouldn’t catch Obama goofing off on a yacht while the US battles the greatest oil spill in history. No, sirree:
"Meanwhile, President Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden enjoyed a round of golf on Saturday..."

MEANWHILE ... back at the Caddy Shack:

Charles Krauthammer:
" ... Pres. Barack Obama doesn’t do the mundane. He was sent to us to do larger things. You could see that plainly in his Oval Office address on the Gulf oil spill. He could barely get himself through the pedestrian first half: a bit of BP-bashing, a bit of faux-Clintonian “I feel your pain,” a bit of recovery and economic-mitigation accounting. It wasn’t until the end of the speech — the let-no-crisis-go-to-waste part that tried to leverage the Gulf Coast devastation to advance his cap-and-trade climate-change agenda — that Obama warmed to his task.

"Pedestrian is beneath Obama. Mr. Fix-It he is not. He is world-historical, the visionary, come to make the oceans recede and the planet heal. (SOURCE , Excerpt) ... "

Call it what you will; leadership is not our strong point in the USA anymore. Besides, who in one's right mind, [left\right minds not excluded] would ever consent to being the target of EVERYONE's angst for the many years it takes to be Prez??

Obama should have won the prize -- the Prez'dency -- then logically hand it over to the runners up, no? That sentiment was voiced back in November '08. I think it was a good one. Above Chls Krauthammer pounds home the deficiency of leaders like Obama. I think Barry looks like Clutch Cargo when he speaks. BHO needs a sidekick or two: Spinner and Paddlefoot.

" ... Mort Zuckerman says Obama is a president who can speak but not lead:

"America right now appears to be unreliable to traditional friends, compliant to rivals, and weak to enemies. One renowned Asian leader stated recently at a private dinner in the United States, “We in Asia are convinced that Obama is not strong enough to confront his opponents, but we fear that he is not strong enough to support his friends.” (SOURCE, Excerpt) ... "

Friendlies aside -- who is the next one in line? Politics is not engineering and it is pretty safe to say not either Geology, Cosmology or Mathematics. Why is Obama constantly preaching from his bully pulpit the transcendence of metaphysics, when he and his audience neither one understands first Physics.

Oil Spill -- about as straight forward as one can get. Animals covered in oil -- even if somehow some entity is keeping pictures of rescued animals out of the mainstream media. Everything else is -- looking for a word .... -- uh, a Hissy Fit ... ? !  Uh, Goofing Off  ... ?!

" ... Noel Sheppard says reacted just as you’d expect to Obama and Hayward goofing off:

"America’s media on Saturday had a collective hissy fit over BP CEO Tony Hayward having the nerve to participate in a yacht race on his day off.

"At the same time, no such outrage was expressed concerning President Obama and Vice President Biden going golfing.

"This double standard continued Sunday as the three broadcast network political talk shows all began with Hayward’s yacht outing while ignoring the President’s R and R on the links. (SOURCE, Excerpt) ... "

TROJAN DOG

For God's Sake, Do Not Eat the Cat, whatever you decide!
by Pat Darnell

Which of these pets pictured would make the best companion for Barry O, the Wife, and the Kids?

Also, can you identify the Peruvian Hairless Puppy in the group?

Some considerations that might be neglected in the Obama family's choosing stages are:
"Who will be washing rear ends, and tending to the animal's duty?"

"Is there ample White House Staff available to manage the extra family member's meals?"

"Will Secret Service be assigned to Fluffy?"

"What if their is no more food in the house, will they eat this pet?"

"Will the Obama's be getting a pet from just anyone? There are those who want to look like good neighbors, but really harbor discontent... and are malicious," as rumored HERE:

Peru Attempts To Invade White House With Tiny Hairless Trojan Dog
11 November 2008 | [SOURCE]
Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association have offered to send the new first family a Peruvian Hairless puppy. They say they want to send it because of Malia Obama’s allergies–the hairless breed is hypoallergenic–but we can’t help but wonder if they’re trying to scare the crap out of the girls with that ugly thing.

After all, -relations haven’t exactly been peachy keen between the U.S. and Peru what with them accusing us of trying to kill their president every other week.- * [Guanabee Ed: Uh, yeah, disregard that sentence. Heh.]

This dog could be code for some kind of warning. Or maybe it even houses little Incan warriors who will escape in the night and take over the White House while the Obamas sleep. Or maybe that thing just horrifies us. Either way, please, Obamas, get a goldendoodle.

Comments:

* Dude, whoever wrote this confused Bolivia for Peru. As in, I’m pretty sure the relationship between Peru and the U.S is a-ok while Bolivia’s president is pretty paranoid about the U.S swooping in and ousting him. Seriously, people. Stop confusing one country with the other.

Ha, no, we’d never eat a kitty, even though the people of Cañete insist they hold the festival for health reasons.
They believe that eating cat burgers – and fried cat legs and tails – can cure bronchial disease. A 63-year-old local woman with 17 children and 70 grandchildren also credits cat meat for keeping her fertile. It is also believed that feline meat serves as an aphrodisiac.


Maybe the Obamas would like a pair of Turkeys.

Maybe this nice Urchin would suffice that "gotta have it urge impulses."

OBAMAWEEN and the Obamanoids

Dear Pamela,
It's a weird occurrence today,... me writing to you (and, I must confess, a handful of your fellow writers as well). I was a libertarian for quite a long time before this election year. I did my thing,... clung to the middle on many social issues and used the constitution as my catch-all shield against extreme liberalism and (to be honest) anything else that I didn't really like that well. But, unfortunately for me, I started reading many of your blogs with mild amusement at times, and mild jealousy at others (all wannabe writers feel this I suspect)... all of these thoughts pocketed like Swiss political ideology queso,... with holes of logic that ran through the conservative philosophy, found their way straight into my own worldview. It was undeniable...

I didn't yet know it,... but I was becoming republican.

Now,... under normal circumstances,... I admit... I would simply turn on my Xbox 360 and see if I could find a way to hack the "Rock the Vote" channel being showcased, or maybe go out with my wife to dinner and discuss how "unusual" and "interesting" peoples' opinions have become these days ...

Fate, however,... has ... intervened,... :

1-We were in fact grownups. Oh sure, before Ace came along we had played at being "cool", going out, drinking cocktails with names that are unspeakable in decent company, and singing karaoke until the audience's noses were bleeding,... but really, underneath it all, we were proud, happy, stay-at- home and chill-out,... parents.

2-We were politically conservative. You see all of a sudden, it actually became important to us that the American Dream be a tangible, ... these things that define our roles and character and affect colleagues, friends, and relationships on a day-to-day basis,... all of it,... from the gas we pumped into our car, to the late nights at the office,... it didn't seem so ephemeral to us anymore. ... vacations to places where we would all learn new things and our son could step proudly on our shoulders and BE that next generation. ...They were God, and Country and being part of something bigger than one's self. They were fun and laughter and a great big wide country that bursts at the seams with adventure and technology and history and culture,... a culture all its own. All of this,.. it all became,... well, just... REAL.

3-We were downright appalled. I will say it again. Appalled. The fact the Senator Barack Obama has made it as far as he has with virtually no experience on the world stage is strange. ...It just shows how difficult the "sales pitch" was to begin with. The fact that only a limited number of people seem to be using the tried n' true, job-interview, best-qualified person-for-the-job litmus test as the best way to go about "hiring" a president,... it is BEYOND illogical. And,... (ahemm) it is ALL downright SUSPICIOUS (now I sound like a libertarian again don't I! ;) ) But most of all, we were appalled... at ourselves.

And so, with my crazy-producer's hat in my hand, I sat down at the little four legged fold out table from Wal-Mart, parked serenely like a "2008 : A Space-Wasting Odyssey",... serenely in the family-room nerve center of our baby-gear infested apartment, amid "new-parents-live-here" festooned, clutter-cubes dotting the carpet landscape, and peeping from every nook,... (think Johnny Depp in the scene from BLOW with boxes of money,... but instead of money, think diapers)....

• I sat... and started writing out a silly song.
• That song turned into a recording.
• That recording begat a series of drawings.
• Those drawings became a video. That video was posted to YouTube 3 days ago.

Now let me first say,... we did not KNOW that this video was going to receive the amount of traffic that it has. It is silly. Obnoxious. Downright campy in places. The music (to quote one of the reviews) sounds like bad 80's rock)... and (again to quote) apparently people "love it".

"Love it" to the tune of almost 35,000 views in three days (as of this writing).

And so, I thought to myself... can a stupid, meaningless YouTube video really change anyone's mind? Or is "spoof" (as an animated art form,... and I use the word "art" loosely... though Lorne Michaels might disagree with me...), is spoof more of "window" onto ourselves as Americans? Or, more personally, a window onto the past "me" (not that I ever would have voted for Barack,... but you get the gist).

So after some pondering, I thought perhaps I would simply send a note (and at this point, a long-winded one!) to some of the people who got me here in the first place, the writers whose internet WordPress's I "lounged" over lazily, during a time when politics (to me) were an endeavor for, older, wiser, crankier people who wore darker, more expensive suits than me,... and where opinions were merely jagged stones that were thrown grumpily into a small pond,... where the strongest of arms and the random coalescence of merging ripples would always (and sometimes seemingly randomly) prevail over others. Well,... I am proud to say,... that age for me is over.

I am an American. I do NOT support Barack Obama. I threw a stone in the pond. And I invite you to give this particular stone a view...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THzaZmqlaAg (OBAMAWEEN)

Should you like it or wish to critique it, please feel free as I respect you as the one of the "serious" minds in the room (but really, how does that sound coming from an indie film producer? ;).

But whatever the case may be, God Bless You for Fighting Hard for what's right, even when guys like me did nothing for so many years.

God Bless the First Amendment (which still gives silly filmmakers the right to churn out animated spoofs named "Obamaween").

AND

God Bless America.
I don't know what will happen on November 4th,... but I will see you and some of your colleagues on the other side, ready,... with a stone in my hand and a pile of them sitting beside me.

Very Respectfully,
C. Alex Velazquez
(Atlas Shrugs Says: I have to say with all of the fascinating email I receive, generally wonderful stuff from my readers, this was my favorite today. The video is great - the drawings even better. 40,000 views in a couple of days? That's damn good - usually that requires a bikini :)
