For the rest of us, a picture is worth a thousand words.
BTW, I think Maureen Dowd's piece was entitled something like, "Alone Again, Naturally" so I thought I'd semi-hijack the thread / semi-obey an old FR rule:
Cheers!

Narcissus and Echo, 2014
Just substitute Zero for Narcissus and MSM for Echo:
Echo often waited in the woods to see Narcissus hoping for a chance to be noticed. One day as she lingered in the bushes he heard her footsteps and called out “Who’s here?” Echo replied “Here!” Narcissus called again “Come”, Echo replied “Come!”. Narcissus called once more “Why do you shun me?... Let us join one another.” Echo was overjoyed that Narcissus had asked her to join him. She longed to tell him who she was and of all the love she had for him in her heart but she could not speak. She ran towards him and threw herself upon him.
Narcissus became angry “Hands off! I would rather die than you should have me!” and threw Echo to the ground. Echo left the woods a ruin, her heart broken. Ashamed she ran away to live in the mountains yearning for a love that would never be returned. The grief killed her. Her body became one with the mountain stone. All that remained was her voice which replied in kind when others spoke.
“I love you!” Obama said to his reflection.
“I love you, too.” MSM
Scorning the necktie is a well known symbol of disdain for the West, initiated and used especially by anti-American Iranian fanatics. Find pictures of Ahmadinejad--plenty out there but you won't find him wearing a neck tie in any of them.
Hey now...
I’ve not worn a tie for 20+ years...
Not donning a skinny colorful bib is not anti West - at least in my view...
amen to that. ties are a nightmare. whoever invented those should be sent to the gallows - or better yet, hung by the neck with one until dead!
For the rest of us, a picture is worth a thousand words.

The drive-bys are only upset becausethe victim was a journalist. They didnt give a damn when a general was murdered, then sloughed off by obama the cold hearted ass that he is.
1. Look for glib and superficial charm. A psychopath will also put on what professionals refer to as a “mask” of sanity that is likeable and pleasant. For example, the psychopath may do good deeds to gain his or her victims trust.
2. Look for a grandiose self perception. Psychopaths will often believe they are smarter or more powerful than they actually are.
3. Watch for a constant need for stimulation. Stillness, quiet and reflection are not things embraced by psychopaths. They need constant entertainment and activity.
4. Determine if there is pathological lying. A psychopath will tell all sorts of lies; little white lies as well as huge stories intended to mislead.
5. Evaluate the level of manipulation. All psychopaths are identified as cunning and able to get people to do things they might not normally do. They can use guilt, force and other methods to manipulate.
6. Look for any feelings of guilt. An absence of any guilt or remorse is a sign of psychopathy.
7. Consider the affect or emotional response a person has. Psychopaths demonstrate shallow emotional reactions to deaths, injuries, trauma or other events that would otherwise cause a deeper response.
8. Look for a lack of empathy. Psychopaths are callous and have no way of relating to non-psychopaths.
9. Take a look at the person's lifestyle. Psychopaths are often parasitic, meaning they live off other people.
10. Observe the person's behavior. The Hare Checklist includes three behavior indicators; poor behavior control, sexual promiscuity and early behavior problems.
11. Talk about goals. Psychopaths have unrealistic goals for the long term. Either there are no goals at all, or they are unattainable and based on the exaggerated sense of one’s own accomplishments and abilities.
12. Look at whether the person is impulsive or irresponsible. Both those characteristics are evidence of psychopathy.
13. Consider whether the person can accept responsibility. A psychopath will never admit to being wrong or owning up to mistakes and errors in judgment.
14. Examine marital relationships. If there have been many short term marriages, the chances the person is a psychopath increase.
15. Look for a history of juvenile delinquency. Many psychopaths exhibit delinquent behaviors in their youth.
16. Check for criminal versatility. Psychopaths are able to get away with a lot, and while they might sometimes get caught, the ability to be flexible when committing crimes is an indicator.
17. Check out if a person makes constant use of “the poor fellow's imagery”. Psychopaths are experts at manipulating our emotions and insecurities into causing us to view them as “poor injusticed fellows”, thus lowering our sentimental guard and rendering us vulnerables for future exploitation. If this psychologic resource is continually combined with unacceptable and evil actions, this equals to a powerful alert sign about this person's real nature
18. Pay extreme attention to the person's treatment towards others. Psychopaths are generally prone to belittle, humiliate, mistreat, mock and even attack physically (or kill, in extreme cases) people who normally would bring no benefits to him/her in any way, such as subordinates, physically frail or lower-ranking people, children, elderly people and even animals - especially the latter ones. Remember Arthur Schoepenhauer’s famous words: “A person who harms or kills animals cannot be a good person at all”. Another relevant saying is Mahatma Gandhi's famous speech, “You know somebody well for their treatment towards their animals”.
2014 DUMMYCRATS DUPE VOTERS (locksteppers salue smartly)
Breitbart.com reports that b/c of an increasingly hostile 2014 political landscape, Democrats are resorting to whining--- asking voters to believe they have suddenly "seen the light" and are now conservatives.
In districts across the country, Democrats are campaigning as "true believers' in tax cuts, balanced budgets and for rolling back big government's harmful regulations.
They're even bleating about guns, fracking and coal....trying to appeal to the conservative heartland.
The list of Democrats carving out more conservative positions is too lengthy to mention. In fact, breitbart.com reports, it would be noteworthy to find any Democrat in a competitive election running on the platform espoused by the DNC, Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi.
So you hafta ask: what is the point of the national Democrat party if individual candidates have to separate themselves from it when facing actual voters. As conservatives have always observed, Dummycratism is not Ieven a coherent party....just a collection of hyphenates.....and expedient alliances of special interest groups.
This is an old Dummycrat trick---from the conniving shallow mind of Chicago-land kingpins of political crime. Obama suck-up Rahm Emanuel actually dreamed up the con.
As you may recall, the Democrat wave in 2006 was fueled, in large part, by public weariness with the Iraq War and opportunistic Dummycrats pilingon GWB.
Naturally, the drive-by media failed to report that this con game was the aggressiveness of then-Cong Rahm Emanuel to recruit moderate and conservative Democrats to run for office.
This devious strategy worked so well---- that before the GOP landslide in 2010, 54 members of the House Democrat caucus were conservative "blue dog democrats."
With only 14 "blue dogs" now serving in Congress, this mythical creature has all but disappeared from the political landscape. With support for Obama and his policies nearing record lows, Democrats in Congress are again trying to pull off this trick.
CONCLUSION: Stupid Dummycrats can run wearing Reagan masks, for all that matters----the prog/nitwit in the WH keeps reminding voters about the Dummycrat-fashioned disaster that has befallen our beloved country.
LOL---love it. Truly is the $64,000 question.
=================================================
I still fondly recall Hillary standing loyally by
Boobamba's side at the caskets of four dead Americans
killed in Benghazi. What was she thinking?
"I wish this fathead would shut-the-eff-up. "
"Four Americans dead. On my watch. I'm in deep doo-doo.
"Dam, Bill better dream up something to cover my ***.
"I know---Blame Republicans....that always works."
