To understand where to go from here, we have to understand that Americans are in no way attached to Obama the individual, Americans are attached to the way Obama makes them feel.
It explains why, when Obama has to choose between tossing many (most?) of his campaign promises out the window and being blamed for betraying the movement, or keeping them and being blamed for the inevitable consequences, the knives will come out.
Nothing new here, of course, but the comparison in the post title, which I couldn’t pass up.
Nuclear power plants smaller than a garden shed and able to power 20,000 homes will be on sale within five years, say scientists at Los Alamos, the US government laboratory which developed the first atomic bomb.
The miniature reactors will be factory-sealed, contain no weapons-grade material, have no moving parts and will be nearly impossible to steal because they will be encased in concrete and buried underground.
Just the sort of thing the crazy lefties around here would freak out about and try to forbid, of course.
He then launched into a point of contention in the Obama camp – voter registration.
“So, you know I have fun with the media. We all know that the press is really an independent, civic-minded and non-partisan group … like ACORN.
“In case you haven’t been following my opponent’s ‘Get Out The Vote’ campaign, ACORN is helping to register groups that were previously excluded, overlooked and under-served – second-graders, the deceased, Disney characters.”
I think it might be fun to coin a more succinct phrase for these under-represented voting blocks. If we drop the second-graders from the list, maybe we can start calling them the animated and the re-animated.
…that Dinosaur Jr. might be one of the absolute best rock bands, ever. I just don’t seem to be able to get tired of their music. And I play the shit out of stuff I like.
