Obama has apologized to
nearly everyone -- except the citizens of the USA on
whom he has inflicted the
most harm. |

Just
to give you an idea of how little -- other than
a watered-down version of socialized medicine -- has been "accomplished" during the
term of Barack Hussein Obama, here's a rant
from a year ago. 365 days later, Somali
pirates are still pirating, A-jad is still
nuke-building, the unemployment rate is still
far above the promised 8% cap, our troops are still
in Afghanistan and Iraq and the guy in charge is
still an indecisive egomaniac. What's
different is that everyone knows, now, exactly what the president is -- whether or not they have the guts to
admit it. |
A few nights ago
John Gibson asked his radio audience what they would do with
the Somali pirate captured during the successful Navy
mission that freed Maersk Alabama Capt. Richard
Phillips.
Answers ranged
from "Hang him from a yard arm in view of his compatriots!"
to an admonition by a self-proclaimed bleeding heart social
worker that the poor kid should be spared and given a second
chance here in Changed America.
That ultra-lib
went on to lecture Gibson about "how difficult it is for
Somalis to survive" and "how such potentially lucrative
endeavors as the hijacking of ships for ransom has become
the only way out for impoverished Africans." This
Compassionate Conservative renegade scribe would be willing
to offer the kid a
choice of sentences -- if he is ever actually convicted and
if the ACLU's appeal fails.
In lieu of costly lifetime incarceration, I'd let the pirate
work it off. Let him make videos and tour the world
telling young would-be terrorists just how well he was
treated from the moment that his
life was spared and how he has
learned, the hard way, that Ameicans only shoot in self
defense. He might say...
"All I did was
surrender and those sharpshooters who had taken out my
brothers just a few seconds earlier were cool enough to back
right off. Then I was taken to a doctor for the first
first
time ever in my life and then to a hospital. They fixed my
toothache too and gave me clean clothes and comfortable
shoes. Every day they brought me three kosher meals and all
the pure, clean water I could drink. They even gave me a
brand new Koran and allowed me to pray anytime."
Talking To Myself About Somali Pirates...
"Things are so
dreadful in Somalia that young men must resort to nefarious
activities, like piracy, to earn a living."
"OK, but how do
they get started? Doesn't every pirate need a fast boat and
some weapons? They're so poor. Where do they get the
start-up money?"
"They start
by hijacking smaller boats. Then they trade their plunder
for arms."
"OK.
Then
where do they get the money to keep their boat motors fueled
and their ammo boxes filled? It's a vast ocean out there."
"They get
millions of dollars when a ransom is paid for a hijacked
vessel."
"So you think
it's all for one and one for all like it was in the
olden pirate days?"
"Well, perhaps
they are more organized than most people think they
are. Maybe some rogue nation or international
terrorist organization is behind them."
"That's what I
thought."
Me and you and a dog named BO?
Of course,
it's missing an O and it
doesn't have quite the ring and rhyme of the early Seventies
Lobo hit. You remember that hook-y chorus?
Me and you and a dog named boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named boo
How I love being a free man
Then again, Abe Lincoln never had a dog name AL and even Lyndon
Johnson, who tagged everything he owned
(including his
daughters Lynda Byrd and Luci Baines) with the LBJ
brand, chose the names Him and Her for his famous beagles.
Now, after
taking over eight months to fulfill his promise of a puppy
for his daughters, Obama could have cleverly combined their
names --
Sasha
and Malia -- and named the dog SAM as a reward for their
patience.
But nooooooo...

Hey Bo Diddley! |
Bo's a Conservative! |

Bo used to know... |
...in this Google/Facebook/Twitter-driven age, every narcissist
worth his salt needs at least one more search word or phrase
out there in cyberspace that can lead folks to yet another
image or story
about himself...
...so he named the dog
BO.
