And of course, last Saturday’s SNL skit, citing his accomplishments as “jack” and “squat”.
And this just in: I’m watching a breaking news story in which some of the doctors who appeared with President Obama yesterday (Supposedly in support of his healthcare plan) are protesting. They were never told the reason for the invitation, were given white lab coats when they arrived and told “stand next to the President for the press conference”. It turns out that some of them are adamantly against his proposal. Said one:”We were used as props”.
Coming soon to a theater near you: “Jimmy Carter II”. Look for attacks by killer rabbits.
Thanks, m4l. Much appreciated. I mean, clearly, I OWN the TKOTD Trophy, but it’s nice to share it every once in a while. (Besides, Biff seems to take perverse pleasure in awarding it to me!)
I’ll have to view it later- going out for cat food now (Just wanted to get the cat stuff out of the way early as we eagerly await benson’s promised new Obama rant. (which will be the same as the old Obama rant) Pinko commie liberals please gather over here by the sign. 🙂
1. I posted the link to the space pod bathtub guy thread from 2007 the other day, but I realized later you were out (Friday). I know you were interested when I first mentioned it, but you might have missed my post. Did you see it, shall I post again, or did everyone else have enough of it, already? I posted as part of an exchange with brownjokester. Amazing how little commentary it got (it seemed like a lot at the time, but a trifling now — under 70 posts). Now, if only we could find the rollerblading asshat performance artist thread.
2. I am recommending to all my friends, liberal and conservative (yes, there are a few), Bill Bishop’s book “The Big Sort.” Takes a good detailed look at how we got to this scorched-earth no middle ground politics that seems to be the only politics we have today. No, he doesn’t blame any left or right wing conspiracies. he talks about underlying social factors that have changed over the last 40 years in where and how we all live. As opinionated as I am, and much as I love a good policy or political discussion, it saddens me how little meaningful dialogue crosses the political divide these days. The book provides an excellent perspective on how we got here.
I’m resurrecting the FGVOTD today in honour of Brownstoner’s favourite PBL, InsertSnappyNameHere (aka “Snappy”), who is feeling under the weather.
You may already have seen it as the “Evolution of Dance” has been made the single most-viewed clip of all time. This is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Right on cue, bx.
Good morning folks;
Hey Pete and all: I saw your comments yesterday. Well, if you think I’m alone in my thinking, allow me to present the following:
-liberal Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen: “Obama doesn’t seem ready to lead””

-liberal NYT columnist Bob Herbert: “Does Obama Get it?”
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/06/opinion/06herbert.html?_r=1&ref=opinion
-George Will: “The Obamas’ Narcissism on Display”.

And of course, last Saturday’s SNL skit, citing his accomplishments as “jack” and “squat”.

2.5 — OK, enough of that. Cats. Discuss.
And the first TKOTD Trophy of the day goes to our fearless leader, Biff Champion!
