The End of Obama

Dissing General Stanley McChrystal as our troops are attacked at will in Afghanistan in remote outposts because of internal pressure from the far left of his own political party shows President Obama's inability to rise to the challenge of the office he was elected to fill.

If we lose the war in Afghanistan due to his hemming and hawing, or worse, the world and America will be more unsafe. Afghanistan and Pakistan and Iran cannot be ignored.

I only hope it is not too late if he ever realizes what the job duties of his office dictate. We already know it is too late for many of our soldiers who he has deemed to be nothing better than sitting ducks for the Taliban.

He may have won the Nobel Peace Prize for his boldly naive pronouncements regarding nuclear disarmament as Iran readies itself to be able to launch missiles into Europe, Israel, and American bases, but by losing independent voters in America, he may be turning himself into a one-termer. However, given demographic trends, mass media infatuation, and Democratic manuevers, he may be able to pull a rabbit out of his hat ala George W. Bush. Time will tell.

Why Roman Polanski Needs To Go To California

William Faulkner, the American Nobel Prize Winner for Literature in 1949, once wrote in The Sound and the Fury, "Did you ever have a sister? Did you? Did you?"

I wonder if Woody Allen asked Roman that before he signed that petition for his unconditional release.

As an artist/writer/musician/cartoonist/poet who has even had a film idea or two in my day and been in a couple of award-winning films, one as the subject and one as a bit actor, I respect Roman Polanski's directorial talent and can understand why some people in the industry are upset that he was arrested on his way to the Zurich Film Festival on 9.26.9, but it was the right move.

What kind of message does that send when a man who drugs a 13-year-old girl with quaaludes (however slight the amount) and champagne flees before sentencing and then is embraced by the international film community? I am so glad that Luc Besson of La Femme Nikita fame was not one of the directors to sign that silly petition to let a rapist go unpunished.

I think any director who signs that petition should be boycotted. Luc also directed all the Transporter movies, so put them in your Netflix queue! He also directed Taken, which stars Liam Neeson trying to rescue his daughter from a plethora of scumbags.

I guess the judge who handled the case might have mishandled it a bit, but that does not mean Polanski should be lionized for running away to France. Nor does it matter than the girl he raped is now in his camp. By raping her, he committed a crime against The United States of America. That means a crime against every American as America is by, for, and of the people. Nor does it mean that she cannot be called to the stand if need be, even though she may have signed a settlement agreement before he paid her off to avoid a civil suit for damages.

Any contractual provision or settlement provision that impedes a criminal trial, criminal investigation, or a fundamental right, e. g., the right of free speech, the right to run for office, et cetera, is prima facie unconstitutional.

That is why the Massachusetts Senate did not try to restrict the newly-installed U. S. Senator Paul Kirk from seeking to retain his office in January's special election. As The New York Times put it on 9.23.9, "legislators feared that such a condition would not pass constitutional muster......" It is on page A22.

Here in Macomb County, Michigan, the assistant prosecutors, represented by the UAW, signed away their fundamental right to run against the sitting prosecutor. It would probably not pass constitutional muster, but no one but me seems to care. The Ninth Amendment reserves to the people all unenumerated fundamental rights. If you can't run for office, you are a lackey, and not a free man or free woman. America is better than that.

And America is better than letting Roman Polanski go scot free after drugging and forcibly raping anally a 13-year-old girl. Sure, he pled to a charge that does not speak to the drugging or to the forcing, but the facts in the criminal complaint are very clear that that occured.

I was thinking, though, that since he hired a close friend of Attorney General Eric Holder to be on his legal team, and President Obama is probably looking for an easy way out of this Hollywood dilemma, why not commute his sentence after he serves a year in prison---but under one condition: he be bunkmates with Charles Manson! I bet that would make Charles's day!

9.9.9

When you ask someone how many kids they have, or cats, or whatever, they will say two, or three, or none, or four, maybe even nine. But they won't say "oh nine."

Why then do so many people write 2009 as "09?" Next month will be a cool day: 9.9.9 or 9-9-9. I like to use periods in between, looks much more aesthetically pleasing. If you add a zero out of some kind of fearful compulsion to conform to an unspoken, unattributed convention, surely invented by some insidious puppet master of the masses, you will destroy the beautiful numeric poetry of that day's date.

9.9.9 is fine. No one will be confused but the utterly, hopelessly conformist variety of mass men and women.

I once had a Macomb County social worker with Master's degree add a zero to a date I had written a few years ago. That is state action infringing on my freedom of speech. I could have sued her.

If you do some Googling, you will see not everyone is anal about that superfluous zero. It is okay, really. If you have an ounce of free will in your body, try it, you might like it. Save some ink, too.

This is the last year in most of our lifetimes that we can do this and 9.9.9 is the last really cool date, but for 11.10.9, I suppose.

So if you dare, join me in a little rebellion! It feels good and the number nine will love you for it on 9.9.9!

obama's kiddie address (this is a joke, or is it? *s*)

my fellow little americans,

a few weeks ago, over my blackberry (holds it up and waves it around a bit), my de facto education czar, my old hippie friend, bill ayers, told me he got a great idea the other day as he was smoking a marijuana pipe at grant park, he emailed me on his blackberry: "Barack, old buddy, Bernandine misses the good ole massah-mandingo 3-ways! How are ya, you old coot! Hey, why don't you give an address to the children over teevy the start of every school year, ostensibly innocuous, of course......"

i thought to myself: WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!!! and began to write this address to you.

as vladimir lenin once said, "kill the czar and his ministers, because it is time for a change," america voted for change when they voted for me, and you are my instruments of change. congress, as you know, is full of asshole republicans, blue dog democrats from planet pluto or neptune, and then the ugliest bitch west of the rockies and east of chicago, nancy pelosi.

i tell you, she is scary! (children laugh in unison, ready to throw nail bombs for the cause).

oh, for the sound bites to the press....stay in school, study hard, if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again!

oh, and i almost forgot, if your parents or anyone else you know is against a public option, call 911 or email the whitehouse, if you know how to do that....your local police departments have been instructed to turn over such names and emails to me immediately. you are now called obamaers and obamaettes, your job is to help me beat the asshole republicans and other enemies of change. together, we are invincible!

allah akbar!

Get a grip!

Regarding the apostate girl in the USA with the non-citizen father who wants to kill her at the urging of his cleric, both the father and the cleric need to be deported and/or charged. America must not allow freedom to be rendered into a joke. Those who choose freedom for all are welcome in the USA. If you are not into that, you are not welcome and goodbye.
