So tonight I watched the President talk about the debt ceiling. Then John Boehner gave a rebuttal. If someone told me I would have to watch the two of them every night, I would weep openly. Of course, America didn’t have to be subject to this. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. In 2008, I gave you the outline of my plan to eliminate the National Debt. Rather than listen to me, you put your faith in Democrats and Republicans. Silly voters. So, …

Taking charge of the country’s largest auto maker is too big a deal not to visit in person. The President was so happy to own a 60% stake in GM that he had Air Force One do a barrel roll over the company’s headquarters.  Later he unveiled plans for the new Commander-in-Chief Caddy.  It’s green (of course), gives off very little emissions and runs on pixie dust and horse manure. Kind of like our economy.

The first family visited Indy last week for the Indy 500.  In a nod to the White House’s preference for suspected tax cheats, Helio Castroneves won this year’s race. While in town, the Obama’s slipped into Broadripple and chowed on tenderloins -a Hoosier favorite.

President Obama can’t be blamed for this one.  Turns out Michelle was showing off for some of her friends back in Chi-town where they had one too many apple martinis and decided to stick it to Cardinals fans by flying through the Arch. They even had a “Go Cubs!” banner tied to the back but it fell off somewhere near Decatur, IL. The pilot might have been a little buzzed too, as evidenced by the landing gear still being down.

President Barack Obama took knocked off early one day this week and decided to catch a Yankee game and get an Air Force One photo op.  According to the President, at the moment of this flyover “I was calling for a bunt.  Maybe we’ll take over baseball when we’re done with the auto industry because I definately thought this was a bunt situation.  What does Girardi know anyway?”

I’m sure that title caught your attention! One of my good friends told me that once. He’s very wise. What he meant was that no matter what you feature you put on a crappy product, what spin you put on bad legislation, or how you re-brand your dirt bag country, bad is still bad!
That’s why I laughed out loud when I read that Nigeria is “re-branding” to shed its corrupt image. Re-branding? Do you really think the slogan “Nigeria: Good People, Great Nation” is going to make me forget that …

Next Tuesday, Barack Obama will be sworn in as President of the United States.  He will be the first African American President. He will be the first Bi-racial President.  And, in a stunning move by the Supreme Court, he will be the first President to not say, “So Help Me God.”
Atheists have been fighting the inclusion of the phrase “So help me God” for many years.  Challenges to the separation of church and state issue have largely been ignored by the higher courts. Judges have cited reasons ranging from the …

“So will algae and mold.” ~ Jeff  Stanger
Continental Airlines successfully conducted a test flight with a Boeing 747 powered by biofuel today.  Now, when I think biofuel, I think corn. Or, maybe soybeans. I don’t think algae. You don’t think algae. (You don’t do you?) But, the biofuel mad scientists at Continental thought algae.  They proudly claim they’re the first to try to fly a plane powered by algae. I believe them.
Is this taking the Green movement too far? I’m not sure. Don’t …

He may be the new Leader of the Free World. He may be the “change” candidate. He may be the first black President. But Obama will always be an inferior world leader until he gets one of these. Some people judge their leaders by policies, fiscal responsibility, or the ability establish consensus. I judge them on headwear. And judging by the link above, King Adulyadej of Thailand has to be the most powerful leader of them all. I’ve got to get one of those!

Maybe it’s because this World Series has taken place so close to Halloween. Maybe it’s because the Phillies and Rays are playing. Maybe it’s because Bud Selig is still the Commissioner. For whatever reason, this isn’t the World Series, it’s the Weird Series. We’ve seen a 2 day delay in game 5. As I type, the Phillies are leading 4-3 in the top of the 9th and Brad Lidge is trying to close out the Rays.
I didn’t watch Obama’s infomercial before the game started. It’s not the 1st time a …
