The Question Not Asked about BO's Nobel Prize

Posted by The Hermit Crab on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 11:25:00 AM
I just have a minute, so I'll ask this simply:  Who nominated President BO for the Nobel Peace Prize after only twelve days in office?  It might be interesting if someone can find this out.  I'm guessing someone in the media.  (Just kidding -- I think.)
 
Actually, I wish I could free myself from the lingering suspicion that Obama nominated himself...

My Letter to ESPN (the Obama sports channel!)

Posted by The Hermit Crab on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 11:22:52 AM
This ties in with National Review's Jay Nordlinger's recent article, Safe Zone Violation!.  It's not very impressive, but I thought others might be inspired to do likewise.  Let's start taking America back by taking the sports networks back.  We've got to start somewhere.
 

Many of us view sports as an escape from the political and economic problems in our lives.  When your on-air reporters showed themselves infatuated with Barack Obama early this year, I hoped that that would pass in a few weeks.  However, it's October now, and we still get the already-overexposed Obama on a sports network at every opportunity.  Can we please get a rest from the President?  Do we have to mark your network down as just another left-wing broadcast outlet?

Give us a break!!

I'm a Victim of the Obama Economy

Posted by The Hermit Crab on Thursday, July 16, 2009 1:01:26 PM
My employers just cheated me out of one-third of my quarterly performance budget.  They did this by unilaterally changing the standards that we must meet to get the highest level of bonus to supplement our paltry hourly wages.  (I am a victim of forced unionization, but the union never fights for the employees -- they just rake in the dues.)  They have already "persuaded" the union to agree to give up the yearly bonus next spring.  It occurs to me that I have Obamanomics to blame for this sorry situation.  Since the insane budgetary policies of the Washington Democratic mob (combined with the stupidities coming out of my state government in Albany) are making it impossible for the economy to recover, and in fact are driving the unemployment rate higher, employers can cut salaries and bonuses with impunity, since with the unemployment rate at 9.5% and climbing, where can their employees go?

Received from a Beautiful Friend

Posted by The Hermit Crab on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 10:41:18 PM
I asked for her permission to post an e-mail she sent me after the election, and received it.  I agree with every word.
 
 
 
 I have this horrible sense of dread. I really think we’re going to experience some major negative changes in this country. I almost believe it could be the beginning of the end for life as we know it.

Did you hear that there are some reports that the two earthquakes in Iran last week were actually underground nuclear tests? We’ve basically forgotten about world affairs here now. It’s all about finance, and that super tax refund our Dear Lord Obama is going to redistribute our way. We’ve got jobless single moms dancing in the streets in Florida because Obama is going to pay their mortgage and gas bills, while in the meantime Iran is getting ready to hit Israel. That’s going to be the “big test” for Obama that Biden was so candid about. And remember what else he said. We aren’t going to like his response. In other words, we aren’t going to like it when we see that he’s allied with Iran and all for watching our traditional allies get nuked. We aren’t going to like it when we see what the real consequences of surrender in the Middle East are. Obama won’t mind Sharia law here in the U.S., because that’s a natural progression for him and part of his real agenda, but we aren’t going to like it.

But frankly, we’ll deserve it. We deserve it because we are a country of absolute idiots, willing to hand the reigns over to someone as radically leftist as Obama, along with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a strong majority in the house. All that remains is for a restructuring of the Supreme Court, and that’s all she wrote.

Why I'm Keeping My McCain Bumper Sticker

Posted by The Hermit Crab on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 10:19:34 PM
I have had enough of Obamidiots celebrating Baby Benito's election, So I'm going to put this up at my work station.  Feel free to borrow it if you wish, no attribution necessary.
 
 
 

I’m keeping my McCain bumper sticker on my car because…
When you Obama voters realize that raising taxes on oil companies means raising
taxes on yourself because the oil companies are forced to raise their prices to cover
the increased taxes in order to survive…
 
When you realize that raising corporate tax rates means forcing companies to move
jobs offshore, since companies will no longer be able to stay competitive while paying
 the highest corporate tax rates in the industrialized world, and that you may have just
 forced your own job overseas…

When you realize that raising the capital gains tax means raising your own taxes, since it is paid by anyone who has investments that can realize a gain someday (in real value or just inflated), and that includes your 401k…

When you realize that the Democrats mean to take your right to criticize them in public away from you by means of the misnamed “Fairness Doctrine”…

When you realize that by voting the Democrats into power you voted to bring back the Marriage Penalty, the Death Tax, and to let your lower tax rates expire…

And when you realize that these results were all brought on by the naivety and ignorance of voters like yourselves…

I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT I DO NOT SHARE THE BLAME FOR THE CHOICES THAT IDIOT VOTERS MADE IN 2008!
