The Fierce Urgency of Pork

I agree. Strange that Krauthammer didn’t have this opinion when the money was for Wall Street. And by “strange”, I mean completely predictable.

Deer in the headlights

PLEASE! Stop offending deer.

Dumb $#*+ in the headlights look.

Kill the Porkulus! Porkulus must die!

Well, one reason the networks probably aren’t hiding it is that they want everyone to know THEY are the ones who got him here and THEY are conveying their thoughts of what they want to do with the country.

“...$1 million per year from a law firm. But he’s not a lawyer, nor a registered lobbyist. You don’t get paid this kind of money to instruct partners on the Senate markup process. You get it for picking up the phone and peddling influence.”

Don’t any of YOU try this one!

There are no adults in charge.

The adults left the White House January 20, 2009.

Followed by a Treasury secretary who allegedly couldn't understand the payroll tax provisions in his 1040.

TurboTimmy's a criminal. Pass it on.

Photographically, he is going to be a great comical subject for Weekly World News covers.

I agree. The inmates are now running the asylum.

[Interesting Times]

Remember, breaking all my campaign promises also qualifies as "change."

Suckers.

Did I hear correctly yesterday, on a radio show, that this porkfest included like $250K for a stinking LOBSTER CAM, a camera on the bottom of the sea to watch lobster's????? Is that true?? If so, how the HELL does that HELP THE ECONOMY???

Excellent!

They are slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y throwing him under the bus. He and his people have been treating reporters like dirt. That’s one thing the press will not tolerate.

BTW: A President is NOT the Commander-in-Chief of the United States. He is Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

I think of this (with annoyance) every time I hear somebody (like Hannity) say (of any President), “He’s my Commander-in-Chief.”

[Future Snake Eater]

As they say: salute the rank, not the man.
