Dreams of My Arugula by JohnHuang2 So, the final returns from West Virginia are in and Hillary has defeated the Prohibitive Favorite, The Runaway Front-runner by a teensy-weensy 41-point margin. Oh, no big deal — for the fall election, Obama’s written off West Virginia and Kentucky despite his vow to campaign in all 57 states. But, as they say, Obama has the nomination math on his side — recently underscored when he bagged another coveted superdelegate, Ahmed Yousef of Hamas. Obama got crushed despite a week of ‘Clinton dismisses calls to drop out’, ‘Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase’, ‘Clinton should...

Deer Senuhter Bahrock — HALP! by JohnHuang2 It’s great to see Jeremiah Wright back from retirement now writing Obama’s speeches. Or maybe 20 years of ‘God Damn America’ sermons which Obama accidentally didn’t hear infected him anyway. If you’re Obama, you go into these towns like San Francisco, and like a lot of other places such as Berkeley and Madison, filled with deranged liberals, whose delusions fell through the “Gore administration” and the “Kerry administration”, neither of which actually happened, and each successive campaign has said that somehow liberalism is going to regenerate and it has not. So it’s...

Al Gore should drop out of the race by JohnHuang2 According to one poll, 22 percent of Democrat voters want Hillary to drop out. The same poll shows 22 percent of Democrat voters want Obama to drop out — and these may be the same Democrat voters! The party’s honchos spent all of last week trying to get Hillary to drop out — especially before she sweeps Pennsylvania. They flogged for days the Bosnia story, complete with video showing Hillary did not have a corkscrew landing in Tuzla under a haze of sniper fire from Jeremiah Wright. Across America,...

Christ has died, Christ has Risen, Christ will come again.... "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself" (John 12:32) The Stations of the Cross, Background and History From the earliest of days, followers of Jesus told the story of his passion, death and resurrection. When pilgrims came to see Jerusalem, they were anxious to see the sites where Jesus was. These sites became important holy connections with Jesus. Eventually, following in the footsteps of the Lord, along the way of the cross, became a part of the pilgrimage visit. The...

Obama: I didn’t inhale the ‘Hate Whitey’ sermons by JohnHuang2 There isn’t a smidgen of evidence that he had denounced the nut preacher’s words before the firestorm broke out last week. And it is a fact that the pastor’s unpastoral bent for spewing madrassa-like hateful inventive and his penchant for toxic racist rants from the pulpit were widely known. Yet, we’re supposed to believe that he just heard about all of this last week, for the first time?????? He’s not being honest with voters. He is a liar. In fact, he is the most deceitful, unprincipled, unethical and loathsomely...

Monster-in-Law and the Mother-of-all Eliot messes by JohnHuang2 In keeping with the Obama campaign’s penchant for breaking new ground on incompetence, now they’re caught comparing Monsterific-Americans to Hillary! Speaking of monsters, Nancy Pelosi was so outraged, she stopped blinking. For at least a minute. The whole thing started when Obama foreign policy honcho Samantha Power told a U.K. newspaper that “Hillary is a monster — she is stooping to anything! You just look at her and think, ‘Urgh!’ The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive.” The skank — Samantha, not Hillary — subsequently apologized and...

Obama harnesses power of Amnesia by JohnHuang2 As proof that ‘front-runner’ Barack Hussein Obama will finally be getting the hard questions from the press, the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz cited himself quoting a reporter from ABC News confronting Sen. Xerox recently with this staggering toughie: There’s “an attempt by conservatives and Republicans to paint you as unpatriotic.” But even after this bloodcurdling exchange, the ABC News guy, Jake Tapper, wasn’t through being barbaric to Obama! He complained to Obama that vicious conservatives keep pointing out that he doesn’t wear a flag lapel pin, had met with the Weather Underground...

Si Se Puede! by JohnHuang2 Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude! Another big-margin shellacking of Cackles, and I’m swimming in schadenfreude! It’s such a beautiful thing. The Clintoncrats keep claiming hysterically that Hillary is the most “qualified” to handle the Ahmaneedajobs and bin Ladens of the world yet she can’t even beat that fellow named Hussein. Maybe Democrats will quit their silly ‘Bush can’t find Osama’ applause line since Hillary can’t seem to catch Obama. In fairness, she did “fire” campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, praising her for doing “an extraordinary job” that placed the nomination “within reach” — for Obama. After...

The Clothes have no Empress! by JohnHuang2 Liberals constantly claim that America has Bush/Cheney fatigue, yet it’s nice to see the candidate with the momentum is Dick Cheney’s cousin! Even the press has a crush on Obama. Obama walks on water! Obama walks on water! Obama makes flowers grow! He speaks in ways that move people to tears! Even Hillary has tears in her eyes because of Obama! Just before her Iowa shellacking, Hillary said “now the fun starts.” Yes, we’re having so much fun! For eight years, the press kept telling us how “popular” the Clintons are, that...

Groundhog Day by JohnHuang2 Now that we’re in an election year and a Clinton is running for president, the media say we’re in a “recession”. In fact, all of the ‘08 Democrats are overjoyed about this well-timed “recession”. At last night’s debate, John Edwards looked so happy, he almost tossed his makeup case in the air! But other Democrats are complaining hysterically that Bush won’t idiotically admit we’re in a “recession”. “Just because the president looks through his rose-coloured glasses and sees a strong economy doesn’t make it so,” screamed Nancy Pelosi, according to a BBC report. Sen. Jack...

Dude, where’s my Quagmire? by JohnHuang2 One wire dispatch put it this way: “It was something not seen in Baghdad since before the 2003 invasion — people publicly welcoming a new year with singing, dancing and general revelry. The ballrooms of two landmark hotels — the Palestine and the Sheraton — were full of people for the first New Year’s Eve celebrations after four years of violence that has bloodied Iraq . . . Iraq’s capital was sufficiently calm to warrant the two high-end parties in the once posh hotels.” This is Iraq, one year after the surge was...

Has anyone seen my Recession? by JohnHuang2 If this “very bad” booming economy doesn’t tank soon, liberals will all be on suicide watch, poor dears. A survey by the World Economic Forum ranked America’s economy No. 1 for competitiveness and innovation, so liberals respond by moping about the subprime nonsense. These same liberal ninnies claimed the Soviet Union would bury us with its dazzling prosperity. The Soviet Union then collapsed, but liberals still claim Cuba is a prosperous paradise — produced tons and tons of sugar last year! Top that, America! Countless Cubans have risked their lives on rafts...

Congress locked in dead heat with Ebola Virus — Polls by JohnHuang2 In light of the Democrat Congress’s latest approval ratings, the Dems’ new winning pitch is: “Vote for us, under 90 percent of Americans detest us!” Or, “Re-elect us, you ain’t seen absolutely nothing yet!” Or, “Peace, Progress and more hearings.” Or, “Join the dozens of people who still approve of us!” Even ‘unbiased’ and perfectly ‘objective’ CNN has Congress’s approval rating in the toilet, as does the LA Times. Congress has been trying to pass amnesty, DREAM acts for illegals, “civil rights” for al-Qaeda, Habeaus Corpus for...

And the Android will lie down with the Lamb by JohnHuang2 It’s so wonderful Al Gore shattered the glass ceiling for Androids to win the Nobel Peace Prize! For a cool million-dollar prize, now the Middle East is filled with peace. Muslim fanatics no longer kill. Al-Qaeda now loves America. Iran adores Israel. The Turks are wild about the Kurds! (Even Democrats are now full of love for NASCAR, no longer thinking you catch hepatitis by watching cars racing.) If you look at the history of this award, Willy Brandt got the Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness about...

Counting liberals on the head of a flag pin by JohnHuang2 If this keeps up, pretty soon Barack Hussein Obama will have to start burning American flags at rallies and shouting ‘Death to America!’ to remain a viable Democrat candidate. The latest Fox News poll shows a sizable chunk of the Democrat Party thinks the world would be better off if the U.S. lost the war in Iraq. “Only” almost 40 percent of Democrats either want the U.S. to lose or are on the fence. Sensing an opening, Obama bragged to a reporter in Iowa that he doesn’t wear...

One Giant Step for Goatherder by JohnHuang2 Iran’s “president” announced Monday that there are no homosexuals in Iran. Barney Frank said further *research* is needed. Ahmadinejad is holding American hostages, shelling the Kurds and killing Americans in Iraq, exporting arms and munitions to Hezbollah, denies the Holocaust, denies he denies the Holocaust and says he wants Jews and Israel wiped off the map, so he gets invited to speak at Columbia University, as if already there weren’t enough nuts loose on campus who should be tasered. Liberals could hardly wait to hear from this “leader” who sounds so much...

The Womanchurian Candidate by JohnHuang2 Democrats are preparing ‘The Best Tax Increase In American History!’ The Clintons are having a Chinagate scandal. O.J. just got arrested. Hillary’s plugging her health plan. Question is, can Bob Dole beat Bill Clinton in November? Oops, sorry. Thought for a second there we were back in the 90s. Speaking of Chinagate, if I remember it correctly, Bill Clinton waited a few years into his Most Ethical Administration in History to have his first Chinagate scandals, but Hillary wants an early start. So many criminals are lining up to donate to Hillary, the campaign...

The Good News is we’re doomed! Part II by JohnHuang2 Early Tuesday morning I was tuned to Squawk on the Street on CNBC. Big economic report about to be released. During the wait, the ominous drumbeat from the TV box: ‘Period of anxiety’, ‘period of uncertainty’, ‘period of fear’, ‘worst yet to come’, ‘credit collapse’, ‘credit crunch’, ‘subprime collapse’, ‘housing collapse’, ‘recession ‘round the corner’, ‘recession already here’ — and then, just as I was standing slack-jawed on the ledge of the 20th floor and ready to jump, hot anchor babe Erin Burnett rescued me with the ISM index...

The good news is we’re doomed! by JohnHuang2 It is absurd and stupid to bet against the U.S. economy — which is precisely why liberals are betting against the U.S. economy. Liberals have been cheerleading recession for years — beginning right at the end of the Clinton recession that Bush inherited — but still haven’t produced a single recession since Bush cut taxes. For a recession, libbies would need two straight quarters of no economic growth. In fact, even in the midst of ‘The Worst Housing Slump In Human History’, these are the stats: * In July, capacity utilization...

Y2K glitch kills “Global Warming”; Mosquitos hardest hit by JohnHuang2 At this rate, liberals will have to go back to being hysterical about global cooling. According to NASA’s new and improved climate history data for the continental U.S., 5 of the 10 warmest years on record happened before World War II. Now the record for hottest babe was 1934, not 1998; the third hottest year was 1921, behind 1998. Four of the Top 10 hottest are from the 1930s. In the last 10 years, only 3 — ‘98, ‘99 and ‘06 — made it to the Top 10. It’s...
