Towering Reply

Listening to the news today, I heard the commentator say that the building at Ground Zero will rise above the Empire State Building today. That announcement prompted this quick sketch, and sentiment.

Swift Decision

This is a comment on President Obama's recent comments about the Supreme Court wherein he inferred that they did not have the authority to overturn law, i.e., declare laws unconstitutional. The court quickly informed "The Professor" that he was wrong, and cited Marbury vs. Madison as the basis of their decision.  Love those Teachable Moments.

A HOT IDEA

Maybe this car was rushed a little to meet the new "alleged demand" for electric cars. Actually I have a fun electric car. It's a golf cart. It goes about twenty-two miles per hour, without a heavy body attached to it (although a heavy body is driving it). However, the important point is being missed here. So what if the car is a fire hazzard, the important thing is that it helps drive the fuhrer's desire to have a "green" vehicle on the market. Once you purchase the Volt, you can drive on over to Solindra to get in on some of those excellent solar panels for your home. Oh, wait, no you can't. Solindra went out of business after The President gave them five hundred million dollars of our tax money. The good news is your house probably won't burn down from a faulty solar panel; just don't park that Volt in the garage. Better to be safe than sorry.

Election Results

This is fairly self explanatory. The president and the Democrat Party were handed a stunning defeat in the 2010 mid-term election. Over sixty seats were lost to the GOP in the Congress. In addition, hundreds of elective offices were lost at the state level. This was a direct result of Mr. Obama, and the Democrat controlled congress' attempt to socialize the country. While they did have some success with their attempt, e.g., health care, and taking over some private industry or companies such as General Motors; this election sent a message that the general population was not in favor of the direction that Mr. Obama was taking the country. What is amazing is that the idealogues didn't get the message. Some of them actually say it is because he did not go far enough. Hopefully they will maintain their delusional thinking so that in 2012 we may rid ourselves of the Mr. Obama and the rest of his merry band of parasites.

Duffy's Megaphone

This bit of silliness came about as a result of the vet giving my dog a collar so that he would not chew on his incision after an operation. He, the dog, also chews his feet, and the vet gave us some medicine for that. I combined the two incidents with the visual of watching Duffy, my dog, wrestle with the collar, and this Kartune was the result. By the way; the collar lasted all of about two minutes before Duffy was able to remove it. Kiss that $25 good bye.

The Obama Doctrine

Well, this is blunt; but sometimes I get tired of dancing around an issue with carefully picked descriptions. Mr. Obama socialized health care, stated that he wants to "spread around" the fruits of other people's labor, and numerous other phrases and examples that demonized private initiative, and praised the collective approach to government, and governing. So far, he has stayed just short of outright professing that he would prefer the communist form of government. Instead, as in this Kartune, he just keeps laying down single pieces to be blended later. Of course he has a right to believe as he sees fit; and since he was elected by the majority of the people, he has a right to govern as he pleases. However, I also have the right to identify and describe his belief system as I see it. Ever since McCarthyism, and later the extreme leftist movement of the 1960's it has become politically incorrect to identify anyone as a communist, regardless of how overtly they profess that doctrine. We have danced around the issue by using the word statist, and socialist, and collectivist. Well, if it has feathers, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a communist.

Shovel Ready Project?

After increasing the national debt by over a trillion dollars, (read that as one million, million), so that we could start in on his highly touted "shovel ready projects", Mr. Obama has announced that, well, ...there are no shovel ready projects. Really? None? Hmm. So is the president a liar, or just incompetent? I guess it doesn't matter. Either way, we lose.
