Just days after catching flak for being too nonchalant, too bloodless, during his tardy response to the Christmas underpants bomber, the New York Times reports President Obama’s new, tougher approach to terrorism.
Please play this mood music while you read the following story.
Vladimir Putin threatens to cut off terrorists’ manly parts, but Barack Obama offers to change the mood music.
For god’s sake, man, this President of ours is not only America’s Second Black President, he may be America’s First Woman President.
Just days after catching flak for being too nonchalant, too bloodless, during his tardy response to the Christmas underpants bomber, the New York Times reports the President’s new, tougher approach to terrorism:
“And so perhaps the biggest change Obama has made is what one former adviser calls the “mood music” — choice of language, outreach to Muslims, rhetorical fidelity to the rule of law and a shift in tone from the all-or-nothing days of the Bush administration. He is committed to taking aggressive actions to disrupt terrorist cells, aides said, but he also considers his speech in Cairo to the Islamic world in June central to his efforts to combat terrorism. “If you asked him what are the most important things he’s done to fight terrorism in his first year, he would put Cairo in the top three,” Rahm Emanuel, his chief of staff told me.”
Note to President Obama: Play all the mood music you want for the terrorists. Break out your best bottle of wine and lower the lights while you’re at it. And give ‘em that winning smile of yours.
We prefer Putin’s approach.

This is where we are during the post-racial presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm. We’re no longer being judged by the color of our skin, but by the color of our personality.
We’re officially residing in the Twilight Zone. In a case that’s the first of its kind, black students have sued other black students for creating a racially-hostile environment at their school.
Two South Carolina students and members of their family have reached a $150,000 settlement in a harassment case.
Lawrence “Larry” Kobrovsky, attorney for the plaintiffs said, “You have a culture where to act like you want to do well in school is considered acting white. And that is part of why we’re saying that it was racial, even though the students were all of the same race because they weren’t acting how the others thought they should be acting as members of that race.”
Dolan Media told the rest of the story:
The uncle testified that racial separation in the county generally meant white students attended private schools while black students attended public schools.
At the public schools, he said, fitting in meant not being what his family was: “churchy,” “upright” and wanting education, as another witness put it, according to a trial transcript.
“You see, it’s a crime to act white, or it’s a crime to be white,” the uncle testified.
Harassment, he testified, made him feel that “we are just dumb, we’re just not people, we’re undergraded, we’re degraded, and we’re not even supposed to be in this world.”
This is where we are during the post-racial presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm. We’re no longer being judged by the color of our skin, but by the color of our personality.
Not sure this is what Martin Luther King had in mind.

So do you submit to fear? Or do you conquer it? This sixty second commercial gives you one person’s Second Amendment answer.
OK, imagine that this is being read aloud by that guy with the really deep voice who does all the coming attractions:
“I am fear. I am the menace that lurks in the path of life, never visible to the eye but sharply felt in the heart. I am the father of despair, the brother of procrastination, the enemy of progress, the tool of tyranny. Born of ignorance and nursed on misguided thought, I have darkened more hopes, stifled more ambitions, shattered more ideals and prevented more accomplishments than history could record. I assume many disguises. I masquerade as caution. I am sometimes known as doubt or worry. But whatever I am called, I am still fear, the obstacle of achievement. I have no power but what the human mind gives me, and I vanish completely when the light of understanding reveals the facts as they really are, for I am really nothing. You see, if you have the courage to acknowledge your fears, you will be taking the first step towards controlling them instead of them controlling you.”
So do you submit to fear? Or do you conquer it?
This sixty second commercial gives you one person’s answer.

There are days when we just don’t feel funny. It’s days like that when we thank Gaia for news items like this: A global warming protest scheduled in Salt Lake City has been cancelled because of a blizzard.
There are days when we just don’t feel funny. It’s days like that when we thank Gaia for news items like this:
A global warming protest scheduled in Salt Lake City has been cancelled because of a blizzard.
The Salt Lake Tribune provides the frozen details:
“Not many people showed up because of the blizzard conditions,” said organizer Clea Major, an international studies student at the University of Utah.
It didn’t take long for the six friends to pack up a bullhorn and posters they’d planned to use for their “scream-in,” an outlet for their frustration about the failure of the Copenhagen climate talks earlier this month to curb the pollution blamed for climate change
Still, they chatted with a few passers-by during the commuter-hour protest near the Gateway, and explained that, blizzard aside, climate change is expected to bring chaos to the global climate, said Major.
She called Wednesday evening’s effort a success and possibly the first in a series. As for the snow, it’s not entirely new; a protest she attended last year in Washington, D.C., suffered a similar fate.
“There is always the irony element,” Major said.
Well, don’t feel too badly, Clea. We’re all at the mercy of the elements.

Fortunately, Olbermannwatch.com was on the case. We all owe this dedicated group of masochists a debt of gratitude. They actually subject themselves to watching Olbermann’s show so you don’t have to.
As Olbermannwatch.com mockingly reports, “First Oralmann tells us the crotch bomber was no big deal, just a schlub who didn’t pose any real threat to anyone. But consistency is not considered a virtue on OlbyPlanet, so Krazy Keith goes on from there to suggest that our spy organizations deliberately buried the intel about the crotch bomber–knowing he could kill 300 people. Why? To embarrass the Obama administration! John Gibson has the details on the latest Krazy Keith Konspiracy … listen to the end as a genius caller takes it to the next level.”
Why stop there, Keith? Any theories on the lone gunman and the grassy knoll?

Former Guantanamo inmates are being “rehabilitated” through a combination of art therapy and intensive recreation at a Saudi facility.
Perhaps this conversation is taking place right now as former Guantanamo inmates are being “rehabilitated” through a combination of art therapy and intensive recreation at a Saudi facility.
According to the New York Post, the program is a cross between a daycare and terrorist training camp.
“In between tasty picnic-style meals of rice and lamb and snacks of Snickers along with dips in the pool, participants practice Arabic calligraphy, produce dizzying Jackson Pollack rip-offs and imagine the aftermath of car bombings in crayon.”
The concept hasn’t been that successful. Well, maybe we just need to re-define what “successful” means.
Graduates of the program have certainly succeeded at reestablishing their terrorist careers. One graduate, Said Ali al Shihri — a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who now heads up al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The same group that tried to blow up an airliner on Christmas.
Maybe al Shihri will be the next commencement speaker.

Are America’s youth suffering buyer’s remorse yet? They gave Obama their votes en masse and he’s given them unemployment en masse.
Are America’s youth suffering buyer’s remorse yet? They gave Obama their votes en masse and he’s given those youth unemployment en masse.
New stats from the Bureau of Labor Statistics tell the grim tale:
“The unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded to 52.2 percent — a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept. — meaning millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and, combined with the predicted slow economic recovery, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time.”
“The number represents the flip-side to the Labor Dept.’s report that the employment rate of 16-to-24 year olds has eroded to 46.6 percent — the lowest ratio of working young Americans in that age group, including all but those in the military, since WWII.”
Not to worry, because The Greatest President In History has this all figured out.
He’ll give half of them college scholarships and pay the other half to enlist in the Obama Youth Brigade.
Problem solved. Let’s play golf.

More guns, less crime? Looks like America’s Second Amendment enemies shot their mouths off one too many times. The basic tenet of their anti-gun religion has just been disproved by a new FBI crime report.
More guns, less crime? Looks like America’s Second Amendment enemies shot their mouths off one too many times. The basic tenet of their anti-gun religion has just been disproved by a new FBI crime report.
The NRA gleefully reports the depressing details for dogmatic Democrats:
Last week, the FBI issued its preliminary 2009 crime report, showing that the number of murders in the first half of 2009 decreased 10 percent compared to the first half of 2008. If the trend holds for the remainder of 2009, it will be the single greatest one-year decrease in the number of murders since at least 1960, the earliest year for which national data are available through the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Also, the per capita murder rate for 2009 will be 51 percent lower than the all-time high recorded in 1991, and it will be the lowest rate since 1963—a 46-year low. Final figures for 2009 will be released by the FBI next year.
According to gun control supporter dogma—“more guns means more crime”—the number of privately owned firearms must have decreased 10 percent in 2009. To the contrary, however, the number rose between 1.5 and 2 percent, to an all-time high. For the better part of the last 15 months, firearms, ammunition, and “large” ammunition magazines have been sold in what appear to be record quantities. And, the firearms that were most commonly purchased in 2009 are those that gun control supporters most want to be banned—AR-15s, similar semi-automatic rifles, and handguns designed for defense. The National Shooting Sports Foundation already estimates record ammunition sales in 2009, dominated by .223 Remington, 7.62x39mm, 9mm and other calibers widely favored for defensive purposes.
Also indicative of the upward trend in firearm sales, the number of national instant check transactions rose 24.5 percent in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months in 2008, the greatest increase since NICS’ inception in 1998. Through the end of October, NICS transactions rose18 percent, compared to the same period in 2008.
Consider this evidence that gun control isn’t about guns, it’s about control.

Putin lets them know exactly what kind of reception awaits terrorists in Russia. And you have to admire that about him.
Despots normally don’t do much for us. So we’re not big fans of Russian Prime Minister and shadow Premier Vlad Putin.
But while our president kowtows to terrorists and pays for their defense attorneys, Putin lets them know exactly what kind of reception awaits them in Russia. And you have to admire that about him.
A French journalist challenged Putin’s approach to terrorism and the Russian’s told him what’s what.
Journalist: …Don’t you think that by trying to eradicate terrorism in Chechnya you are going to eradicate the civilian population of Chechnya?
Putin: If you want to become an Islamic fundamentalist and be circumcised, come to Moscow. We are multiconfessional. We have very good specialists. I can recommend one for the operation. He’ll make sure nothing grows back.
Is it just us or does the look in Putin’s eyes reminds you of Dirty Harry staring down at the bleeding bank robber on the street and saying, “You have to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” Watch them both and see if you don’t agree.
Unfortunately, we know he’s giving our President and our Secretary of State the same steely-eyed glare and scaring the hell out of them.

Not until late November did the UK Met Office tone down its prediction by saying that there was a ’50 per cent chance’ of a mild winter.
From the same nation that brought you the ClimateGate scandal comes the weather bureau that admits it’s odds of forecasting the weather correctly are the same as if it did it by flipping a coin.
The Daily Mail UK reports the wild weather story:
This is our own famous Met Office, which last September confidently predicted a warmer than average winter for Britain. Tell that to Eurostar passengers stuck in the Channel Tunnel for 18 hours before Christmas, the breakdown of their trains blamed on the coldest weather for 15 years.
Not until late November did the Met Office tone down its prediction by saying that there was a ’50 per cent chance’ of a mild winter.
Spinning a coin could have given the same result – not one you would expect from an organisation that spends nearly £170million a year, has 1,500 staff and a team of scientists operating a £30million supercomputer capable of 1,000 billion calculations every second, with a carbon footprint the size of a small town.
Yet even with this brand-new computer in action since last August, on December 10 the Met Office predicted that it was ‘more likely than not that 2010 will be the warmest year in the instrumental record, beating the previous record year which was 1998’. That prediction stands unchanged.
How could the Met Office be so wrong, both about its barbecue summer and the mild winter? And could the answer to that question have anything to do with its remarkable transformation in recent years?
To repeat the oft-asked question, why should we believe these guys can predict the weather in 100 years when they can’t predict the weather next week?

Rasmussen reports the demoralizing details for Democrats:
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of U.S. voters say waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques should be used to gain information from the terrorist who attempted to bomb an airliner on Christmas Day.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 30% oppose the use of such techniques, and another 12% are not sure.
Men and younger voters are more strongly supportive of the aggressive interrogation techniques than women and those who are older. Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party favor their use more than Democrats.
Seventy-one percent (71%) of all voters think the attempt by the Nigerian Muslim to blow up the airliner as it landed in Detroit should be investigated by military authorities as a terrorist act. Only 22% say it should be handled by civilian authorities as a criminal act, as is currently the case.
We’d say squeeze his nuts in a vise until he coughs up everything he knows. Unfortunately, that won’t be possible because his own pork and beans were the only thing this moron damaged in his attempted attack.

In the final pre-count estimate just released by the Census Bureau, we already have a broad idea of where the results are headed and what they will mean politically. The numbers are cause for alarm for Democrats.
The Democrats are counting on their friends at ACORN to “help out” with the 2010 census. And if this analysis is correct, they need all the help they can get.
The Washington Times reports the depressing details for Democrats:
… in the final pre-count estimate just released by the Census Bureau, we already have a broad idea of where the results are headed and what they will mean politically.
The numbers are cause for alarm for Democrats.Of the states gaining House seats — Texas (three) and Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington — only Washington is reliably Democratic, having last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1984.
Of the states losing seats and electors — Ohio (two), Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — only Louisiana is reliably Republican. And the fact that there are 170,000 fewer residents of New Orleans than before Hurricane Katrina has made the state even more reliably red.
But the real shocker is California. After a consistently large gains in the second half of the 20th century, California is on track for only 9 percent growth in the first decade of the 21st. Compare that to 14 percent growth in the ’90s, 26 percent growth in the ’80s, 19 percent in the ’70s and 27 percent in the ’60s.
9% growth in California? Build a wall on the Mexican border and the population won’t increase at all. Of course, you’d also have to build a wall along the Nevada border to retain the legal residents.

President Barack Obama is snuggy safe from any terrorism in his $4,000/day Hawaiian estate. A maritime security zone has even been established around the estate.
American citizens, especially travelers, are feeling more uneasy after a near miss by an Islamic terrorist who tried to blow up an airliner on Christmas.
But don’t worry, President Barack Obama is snuggy safe in his $4,000 a day Hawaiian estate. A maritime security zone has even been established around the estate.
“According to the Coast Guard, the maritime security zone includes a portion of Kailua Bay, beginning at Kapoho Point and extending westward to the shoreline at Namala Place, near the Castles surf spot. The zone also includes the adjacent Kawainui Channel beginning at Kapoho Point to a point 85 yards mauka of the North Kalaheo Avenue Bridge.”
By the looks of the gunboats and Coast Guard craft in the area, they mean business, too.
If someone gets caught trying to break that security zone, they’ll be looking at a prison term up to 10 years.
Unless they’re suspected members of Al Qaeda or Taliban. They’ll be released immediately and issued an official presidential apology.

Society of Professional Journalists’ Ethics Committee says it’s “appalled” because NBC News chartered a plane for David Goldman and his son, Sean, to fly from Brazil to the United States.
Admittedly, we didn’t have a lot of interest in the case of David Goldman, the American father who was battling to get his son back from the kid’s adopted stepfather in Brazil. But when we saw that Goldman was flying back and forth from New Jersey to Brazil in a private jet, we briefly thought to ourselves, “Jeez, that guy must have a ton of money.”
We were wrong. Turns out NBC has a ton of money and they spent it like Barack Obama on speed to become the exclusive David Goldman network.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that NBC’s actions have earned the network a scathing rebuke from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Ethics Committee:
The panel says it’s “appalled” because NBC News chartered a plane for Goldman and his son, Sean, to fly from Brazil to the United States. They were reunited after a five-year custody battle, and they arrived in Orlando on Christmas Eve. In paying for the plane, NBC News engaged in “checkbook journalism,” the Ethics Committee says.
The journalists’ group has a code of ethics that urges reporters to refrain from bidding for news.
“The public could rightly assume that NBC News bought exclusive interviews and images, as well as the family’s loyalty, with an extravagant gift,” Ethics Committee Chairman Andy Schotz said.
In a statement, NBC News said: “The Goldmans were invited on a jet NBC News chartered to fly home to the U.S. on Thursday, December 24. NBC News has followed this story since the Goldmans’ story first ran on Dateline nearly one year ago — David Goldman since has appeared on Today seventeen times. NBC News has not and will not pay for an interview.”
With its lavish gesture to the Goldmans, NBC News helped create the news and jeopardized its credibility, the SPJ Ethics Committee said.
“Mixing financial and promotional motives with an impartial search for truth stains honest, ethical reporting,” Schotz said. “Checkbook journalism has no place in the news business.”
Close, Schotz, but no cigar.
What you should have said is that NBC has no place in the new business.

Might we humbly offer a suggestion, Mr. President? If you’re really as tired as you say, take a nap every afternoon. Lay off the golf. And the photo shoots for all those magazine covers. And the appearances on all those TV shows. And the bowing to foreign dignitaries. Especially the bowing to foreign dignitaries.
Sometimes stories just write themselves. Or in this case, sometimes the Associated Press writes them.
This cloying AP story explains that being the so-called leader of the so-called free world is tiring. Very tiring, indeed.
CAPITAL CULTURE: Big first year leaves Obama tired
After a sleepless, overnight flight to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this month, President Barack Obama made a not altogether surprising admission. He was tired.
Who could blame him? The president was on his ninth foreign trip to his 21st country; he added a 10th trip the following week. The year had been bookended by the two most intense periods of his young presidency – the early decisions to bail out the nation’s banks and automobile industry, steps the president deemed unpopular but necessary, and his December orders to deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to fight the war in Afghanistan.
Throw in an unemployment rate in the double-digits, a health care bill still stuck on Capitol Hill, and last-minute negotiations on a global climate change agreement, and aides say it’s no secret that the president is tired, and looking forward to recharging during his year-end family vacation in Hawaii.
Obama himself has been candid about the pressures of being president during what he has called an “extraordinary year.”
“You have a convergence of factors that have made this a difficult year not so much for me but for the American people,” he said in an interview with CBS News last month. “Absolutely that weighs on me.”
That weight was particularly striking during the president’s exhaustive, three-month review of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. Images of a visibly tired Obama, his black hair now flecked with gray, greeting the bodies of fallen soldiers at Dover Air Force Base and walking through rows of headstones at Arlington National Cemetery sparked rumors that he was skipping meals and losing weight.
Why that poor, tired man. Who would have thought that socializing the American economy could be such hard work?
Might we humbly offer a suggestion, Mr. President? If you’re really as tired as you say, take a nap every afternoon. Lay off the golf. And the photo shoots for all those magazine covers.

How successful do you think you’d be rehabilitating Muslim fanatics with something called the “art therapy rehabilitation program”? You are correct. Whatever it is, it was obviously an abysmal failure.
We’d like to pose a question. A hypothetical question, to be sure.
How successful do you think you’d be rehabilitating Muslim fanatics with something called the “art therapy rehabilitation program”?
You are correct. Whatever it is, it was obviously an abysmal failure. ABC News reports the ludicrous details:
Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.
American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an “art therapy rehabilitation program” and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.
Guantanamo prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari, were sent to Saudi Arabia on Nov. 9, 2007, according to the Defense Department log of detainees who were released from American custody. Al-Harbi has since changed his name to Muhamad al-Awfi.

President Obama channeled O.J. Simpson today when he said, “We will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable.”
Then, according to Politico, “A half-hour after President Obama vowed to catch the terrorists behind a plot to blow up a plane on Christmas, he arrived at 10:40 a.m. at the Luana Hills Country Club, where a golf course winds through a rain forest, the pool reports. The club is below inland cliffs and the towering Mt. Olomana.”
Apparently, golf courses are now the preferred choice of hideouts for bloodthirsty killers. After erroneously being found not guilty of killing his wife, O.J. Simpson also declared that he would spend the rest of his life searching for the real killers, then went out and played 18 holes.
The president reportedly spent a lot of time in the sand traps looking for the al-Qaeda terrorists in their native habitat.

The greens are distraught over the circus that was Copenhagen. As the Brisbane Courier-Mail reports, Aussie greens have resorted to lynching polar bears:
Copenhagen was the anti-climax of the century and the feeling of disappointment, anger and frustration from those who wanted more is palpable. In Brisbane, campaigners tied nooses around the necks of giant soft toy polar bears and threw them off balconies and bridges.
Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Director of the Centre for Marine Studies at the University of Queensland, said the political leaders were putting a “brave face on total failure”, declaring it “a triumph for the fossil fuel lobby.” The usually understated Dr John Church, principle research scientist in CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research and a world authority on sea-level rise, said: “Continued failure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions commits the world to metres of sea-level rise, with severe consequences for many millions of people and the natural environment.”
Damn, these people are hilarious. Who the hell are we going to laugh at when they are finally forced to abandon the global warming scam?
