Barack's Achilles Heal

Who is it that will ultimately sink Barack's vision quest? Bill Ayers? Jeremiah Wright? No...it will ultimately be his bitter and angry wife. The more the country sees of this entitled and angry woman the less they will like her and it will stick to BO. Hitchens makes the case that it is Michelle that probably kept BO in Wright's pews for all those years. Watch the video and read the article and try to figure out why this lady is so damn angry.

Bitterness? Obama need only roll over in bed to find it...

It seems Mr. Hope thinks the electorate is bitter. While I think Barack need only roll over in bed in the morning to find true bitterness I do believe his comments are illuminating viz-a-viz his focus on government as the answer to all that ails us. Recall that the Obamas are here to heal our soul!

Where is the role of personal responsibility in the world of Obama? It might be time to do some reading to understand where we would be headed under this new Messiah.

Where can I buy Mardi Gras tickets?

NOLA has the best answer to that one, unless you'd like to contribute to my pay pal -- I'll find a ticket for you somewhere and I'll even throw in a King Cake.

King Cakes are my downfall. Someone made the mistake of leaving me alone with a Raspberry Creme coffee cake the other day. Then when they came home later that afternoon, they had the nerve to ask what happened. Well, it usually starts off with just one itty bitty peice and then, before you know it...your looking at the bottom of the pan. You must've turned your back on it. I can imagine one of those cats from icanhasacheezeburger got it. The best ones are usually homemade.

I can't eat that King Cake!

Katrina Victims: Give Us Our Quadrillions

In perhaps the most overt demonstration of how to define "entitlement mentality" I've ever witnessed, claims related to Hurricane Katrina have now reached more than $3 Quadrillion. To give you a little perspective, the 2007 Gross Domestic Product of the United States was only a mere $13.2 trillion.

"The figure - $3,014,170,389,176,410... - represents a fraction of the roughly 489,000 claims that residents and business owners filed against the federal government over damage from the failure of levees and flood walls following the devastating hurricane that hit the US Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005.

"The US Army Corps of Engineers says it has received 247 claims for at least $1 billion... apiece, including one for an even $3 quadrillion...

"For the sake of perspective... a stack of one quadrillion coins... would reach to Saturn."

Maybe next time people just shouldn't buy a home or business in a high-risk flood and hurricane zone without proper insurance. When you take on that risk, it's not the responsibility of the governement to bail you out when your gamble doesn't pay off, especially to the tune of three thousand trillion dollars!
