The country voted for the Chicago way. Now we’ve got it.
If you are surprised that means you weren’t paying attention.

I guess we should report Linda Douglas

Glenn Links to this reason story about how the White House want people to send in info on fishy statements on the healthcare bill.
I think considering how what Linda Douglas is saying directly contradicts what Barak Obama has already said that sounds fishy to me.
Dinsdale Obama

Looking at the story where we are told to believe Linda Douglas on what President Obama believes as opposed instead of believing Barak Obama.
One can’t see this nonsense without recalling the words of Stig O’ Tracy concerning the Piranha Brothers:
Presenter: Another man who had his head nailed to the floor was Stig O’ Tracy.
Interviewer: I’ve been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor.
Stig: No. Never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to buy his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
Interviewer: But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor.
Stig: (pause) Oh yeah, he did that.
The Video:
You know Its not the lie itself, its how blatant the lie is that really strikes me. It’s almost Soviet in its nature.
If this goes on much longer I’ll have to give in to the opinions of friends of mine.
Update: This sounds soviet like too:
Antigua’s highest mountain officially became “Mount Obama” on Tuesday as the small Caribbean nation celebrated the American president on his birthday and saluted him as a symbol of black achievement.
What a joke.
I didn’t get Joker/Obama photoshop…

…mainly as an old comic guy I didn’t see the connection and frankly didn’t think the Dark Knight movie portrayal was the end of all things as some do but the predictable reaction has produced a very great line from Bob Owens:
A lot of people are getting their noses out of joint about a poster popping up around Los Angeles comparing President Barack Obama to the Joker.
Frankly, I don’t get it.
One embraces terrorists and madmen, is dedicated to anarchy and the destruction of capitalist society, and sends the population fleeing in horror from his creations.
The other is a fictional character played by the late Heath Ledger.
Absolutely classic, the Anchoress adds some serious perspective:
Obama’s predecessor endured 8 Years of Assassination Fascination. Actually, the “Assassinate Bush Chic” began even before the 2000 election, when Craig Kilborn flashed “snipers wanted” under a picture of Bush. So-called “newsmen” like Keith Olbermann repeatedly called the president “a fascist” and “a terrorist.” And Obama supporters can’t handle The Joker and the word “Socialism”?
Politics is ugly, and it is often over-the-top but that’s not new. Photoshop happens; it’s a free country. I myself have been photoshopped next to a dancing condom, a commentary on my annoying habit of being a Catholic.
And a sliver lining:
This Obama/Joker portrait is actually heartening to me. I may not have liked the press’ incessant attacks on Bush, and some of the uglier media put out about him, but I never found any of that as worrying as I have found the unquestioning incuriosity of the Obama-press, or the inclination by some to treat him as something more than a mortal politician voted into office by the people. The self-censoring we have seen in media has been sad and a little chilling. More chilling than any of the pics used here.
Gotta love that left. Now its off to funspot with the youngest for the day.
