There Can Only Be One Quizat Haderach
After being dismayed by Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow for their shrill little critiques of President Obama's Tuesday night speech from the Oval Office, I was glad to see Keith Olbermann eat his words the following night after Obama delivered more than either of them could have ever imagined by talking BP out of twenty billion dollars.
However, instead of acknowledging that maybe Obama might actually know what he is doing and that the words that he used in the speech might have been cleverly chosen for the best political effect at that moment, Rachel Maddow decided to devote her closing segment to Rachel Maddow: The Speech We Should Have Heard From Obama. [ 2 ] "Rachel Maddow rewrites President Barack Obama's Tuesday Oval Office address to what she had hoped he was going to say". Needless to say that I was not overly impressed with her angry little speech. Obama has just pulled off another major coup, and Maddow is still saying that she can do a better job than the president.

Gop: Oily To Bed, Oily To Rise!
People That Are Not Americans Imitiating American Accents
No time for blogging today! I am far too busy complaining about how busy I am. (Jeepers! I barely have time to obsess over what to eat for dessert, much less have a second helping.) In the meantime you can watch these swell videos of people that are not Americans imitiating American accents. I especially like this one.
The Passing of the Torch
I am saddened at the recent loss that has been handed to Orly Taitz by the people of California in her bid to become the Republican candidate for secretary of state. After all of the fun and hijinks following her numerous unsuccessful lawsuits that questioned President Obama citizenship, I have been waiting with baited breath to read the results of her lawsuit against her opponent in the secretary of state race, Damon Dunn. It seems that, according to Taitz, Dunn is not qualified run for office either. [ 2 ]
Of course, with the win by the fiscal and social conservative Sharron Angle in the Nevada GOP Senate Primary, I think that we can safely say that Orly's torch has been passed. Angle wants to abolish the Department of Education, the Energy Department, the EPA, Social Security and bring back prohibition. She feels that the United States should withdraw from the United Nations, and has spoken out strongly against fluoridated water. Oh, an in the wake of BP Gulf oil spill, she feels that we need to need to "deregulate" Big Oil. Woo hoo! You go, girl!
