Well Christmas is over and what a great break it was.

It\’s finally here…the event you wait for all year every year….No, not Christmas, it\’s Dave Barry\’s year round-up.

Typical Obama, all fluff no substance.  Obama got criticized for his handling (or non-handling) of the Fort Hood shootings so he wanted everyone to know he\’s \”on the case\” of the Christmas Day attempted Northwest airline bombing.  Unfortunately by \”on the case\” they mean they are constantly updating the media but not actually doing anything or keeping anyone in the government itself informed on anything.

Poor Obama, none of the world leaders want to hang out…or even talk with him.  Isn\’t this the guy who claimed he was totally better at foreign policy than Bush??  At least Bush could organize a coalition.  Obama can\’t even convene a meeting.

Have you ever thought that some of the bills that come out of Congress have to have been written by drunken buffoons.  Well, perhaps because they are.

The polls continue to deliver bad news for Obama and the Democrats.  For the first time a plurality now believes the stimulus did more to hurt than help.  As far as Obama\’s personal approval rating, I think we can forget him getting above 50% again….now the question is can he keep his Strongly Disapprove rating below 50%??

2010 SHOULD be a revival for Republicans.  Unfortunately the GOP is full of incompetent boobs and leaderless.  Which is why it\’s no surprise but still sad, that essentially they\’ve had to oursource the game planning for 2010.

A picture is worth a thousand words

If this health care bill is so great, why does it require so many bribes that even MSNBC has to report them.  You\’ll find a the full (and lengthy) list of all the payoffs here.

Remember how progressive are constantly telling us how evil private insurers are? After all they refuse coverage to people that desperately need it.  Well turns out the talking points don\’t match reality.  The reality is that government health care denies people at a greater rate than private insurers.

It really is amateur hour in Washington.  The House finally got around to passing a Jobs bill, costing $39 billion.  Problem is very little of it actually goes towards jobs, as most of it just goes towards government inefficiencies.  So it\’s sort of a jobs bill….a government jobs bill.  And only half of it gets spent in the next decade….only 1.7 billion gets spent in the next year, so you know it\’s very responsive.  I mean seriously, they aren\’t even trying to bullshit us anymore are they?

Nomination for Person of the Year is Straw Man….it\’s a fair nomination, as according to Obama, he\’s been an incredibly busy and influential man this year.

Who owns the debt of the United States….it\’s rather interesting to see the breakdown.

The initial NTSB report for that Northwest flight that forgot to land at MSP and instead flew past it for about an hour.
