Obama

Our Savior is intent on collectively improving health by banning popular foodstuffs that are bad for us (we can call it “prohibition” since that has a great ring to it). If Obama can keep his BMI index thing so low and smoke all he wants, certainly you can do your President proud by picking up [...]

By the Comics CurmudgeonHey, everybody, did you miss your Cartoon Violence? I’ll bet you did! Your Comics Curmudgeon missed you too, though I have to say that I didn’t miss wading through hundreds of political cartoons on a regular basis, satisfying as it is to smite ’em in the end. And as I dove head-first [...]

The New York Times did some super-excellent journalism in Sunday’s magazine: an honest to God 14-page article (complete with an interactive map!) that details the eating, drinking, fornicating, and even religious habits of the 20-somethings who work in the Obama administration. As it is our job to tell you what to do in DC, as [...]

Barack Obama personally uninvited Billy Graham’s crazy Christian jihad-son “Franklin” from speaking at the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer potluck. Death to America! [RedState] Meet Scott J. Bloch, one of the Bush Administration’s stupidest Jesus freaks in the Justice Department who tried (and failed, hooray!) to destroy America from the inside. [The Awl] Americans face [...]

“A tortured history of Obamacare?” No no no. Barack Obama is a total yellow belly: He always reads histories their Miranda rights. [RedState] Car theft. Rape. Same thing. Get over it. It’s Kansas. [Think Progress] Do you have naughty dreams at night about organizing Jonah Goldberg’s collection of Star Trek dolls (from tallest to shortest, [...]

THIS IS WHAT LATE-PERIOD HOPE LOOKS LIKE: “I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president,” Barack Obama tells Diane Sawyer. Anyway, if you had “Obama evidences a fundamental misunderstanding of his options” on your pre-SOTU drinking game, you win, or lose, or whatever. [ABC News]

Everyone’s threatening Facebook statuses worked!! NBC will pay Conan O’Brien $33 million dollars, and he can go back home to the television in eight months. [Los Angeles Times] Obama has decided that our country’s commercial banks can’t be as big as they want or trade for their own accounts, which is a thing that’s problematic, [...]

Barack Obama has said a controversial “No, thank you” to the King of Norway’s very kind and very obligatory lunch invitation! Sometime before or after Obama’s hawky peace prize acceptance speech, everyone expected our President to feast upon Scandinavian pleasantries, possibly in a palace, with the King, like people did constantly in Medieval times. Who [...]

The President of the United States went to Norway to accept his Nobel Peace Prize. This is the most controversial thing that has ever happened. [New York Times] Meet our nation’s next hated thing: it is “Ginnie Mae,” the absolutely terrifying-sounding Government National Mortgage Association. [Washington Post] Defense Secretary Robert Gates is currently touring Iraq [...]

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 [...]
