It’s been awhile since I did a linky roundup…yeah, that’s right, I’ve been too lazy to do a lazy version of blogging.  I blame it on depression over the continual depletion of our snow levels that make snowmobile not so possible.

• “Obama is so dependent on teleprompters he wouldn’t give a speech to elementary kids without out”….sounds like a cynical right-wing joke right??  Well welcome to the Age of Change, where cynical right-wing sneers become reality!
• If Obama didn’t exist, the right would probably have to invent him…..wait, anyone seen Rove and Obama in the same room together???? Wow….he is an evil genius.
• Ok I’m confused, and I might write a full blog post about this if I can interpret the wackiness.  It appears that Chicago has picked their strategy in the upcoming SCOTUS case McDonald vs Chicago, in order to limit the breadth of the Second Amendment they are claiming the 14th Amendment…..doesn’t exist???? No seriously.
• Movie made by chimpanzees to be broadcast on television……huh, well, embarrassing as this is to say, I guess I sort of assumed that’s how ALL of Hollywood’s movies were made.
• ‘Change is simply a euphemism for “big government”‘ Look for that to become a Republican talking point in the coming months.
• The one American automaker that is thriving is the one that was NOT bailed out by the government.  But remember you good American subjects of Obama, big government is the answer to all your ills.  Now hand over your health care like good little serfs.
• Count this as a huge strike against full-body scanners….this is from German TV, so those of you that don’t speak German, don’t catch it all, but the great part is you don’t have to understand what is being said to get the point.  Basically they try to demonstrate how great a full body scanner is, only to find out that their subject had hidden parts of a bomb all over his body…which the scanner did NOT detect.  In their attempt to explain away the failures, they admit their technology can’t detect things hidden in body cavities….such as the mouth, or other less comfortable cavities, which terrorists have already demonstrated they have no problem hidden things in.
• 20 great moments in liberal bigotry….not surprising from the side that fought the Civil Rights movement and includes a former KKK leader in it’s ranks.
• Brock Lesnar slams Canadian health care with “It was like I was in a Third World country“…..actually that sounds like a pretty good description of Canada.
• Anyone find it odd that despite the Democrats campaigning against the Republicans Culture of Corruption and then promising totally the most ethical Congress EVAH….not a single legislator has been punished under the Democrat’s ethics rules….I suppose when you set the bar so high that even tax fraud and bribery doesn’t trip over it, well, that’s what we get.
• For those of you that are sort of nostalgic, you can read through all the promises that Obama made….and hasn’t kept.
• You’d think that if we were going to charge terrorists under our regular civilian justice system, you’d think we’d at least consult those in charge of such things.
• Oh good, Obama picked the next industry he wants to nationalize….the student loan industry.  Yes, I can see how that industry is critical to our national security and therefore needs to be nationalized.
• It’s a little ironic that the same guy seeking to massively increase the size of the federal government is criticizing banks for being too big.
• I’ve never known that are so many flavors of crazy…..according to Chavez, the US has some super secret earthquake weapon. And instead of doing something productive by launching it at Iran or North Korea, we lauched it at…..Haiti.
• I’m not sure what bothers me more….that the jobless rate keeps increasing, or that every time it does it’s “unexpected“.
• IRONY ALERT…..Obama is preventing those that cheat on their taxes from receiving government contracts.  It has occurred to him that half of his cabinet “forgot” to pay their taxes or otherwise cheated on their own taxes right???
• Wow, a Daily Kos author is trying to make their case that a grandma handing out pro-life lit is a terrorist.  As part of that justification, they claim that women turned away from abortion will seek instead to poison themselves or throw themselves down the stairs in an attempt to end the pregnancy.  Basically in the mind of this author, if you’re pregnant, the only alternative to abortion is to kill the baby some other way.  There is literally no other option….wow, just wow.
• Despite what the FBI says, they haven’t a clue who was behind all those anthrax attacks.
• This is why I can’t trust the Campaign for Liberty movement….for all the good ideas they have, they still idolize this conspiracy loving kook.
