Schadenfreude, Served Cold

Posted by LC Aggie Sith on Friday, January 22, 2010 in Politics

Well, this week brought monumental happenings around our country. It all began thusly:

Scott Brown wins Massachusett(e)s Senate race. The so-called Bluest State votes for a Republican. A shot heard ’round the country, no doubt. Prez Obama’s Midas Touch strikes again.

Senate healthcare plan is DOA. MaDamn Pelosi grudgingly admits she doesn’t have the votes. With the MA election still smoldering their backsides, Congressional Dems are slowing down the ramming of the DeathCare bill to a crawl. Can you say, “writing on the wall”?

Air America is dead. Ok, a two-edged machete here. On one hand, it proves to those of us with more than two functioning brain cells that leftist propaganda tends to fail in our society. On the other hand, it may be the open window the left is looking for in order to push for a new Fairness Doctrine.

UN abandons “Climate Change” deadline. Not directly our turf, but don’t forget Prez Obama went over to Hopenchangen to help push this through.

And finally, the Supreme Court deals McCain/ Feingold a deadly blow. Justice Kennedy (no relation, but again, I love the irony) wrote for the majority: “This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves.” There is hope this atrocity of a law can yet die. The Administration is preparing a bipartisan ”forceful response”, and I am eagerly awaiting the release of Hillary: The Movie.

So, there you have it: the week in review, a week that should have been the crowning jewel in Prez Obama’s first year anniversary as CnC. Instead, it shows his crown to be made of tin foil and stickers. My cup runneth over.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go bathe in chocolate. :D

    But not quite as much as the young lady’s in the “Distractions” motivational poster from yesterday. ;-)

    “tin foil and stickers”–not the crown of thorns he was wearing for the ’08 election… So much for the post-racial, post-politics, open and transparent messiah whose touch was to turn back the tide of the rising Anthropogenic Global Warming seas, usher in an era of peace and harmony, put a Prius in every garage and rain down milk and honey upon the land.

    Oo. Looks like even TOTUS can’t manage to make it look like his first year was the unqualified success his stumble-bum oratory promised.

    “The election of Scott Brown as Kerry’s colleague has added urgency to the negotiations for a compromise, which would include the Democrats’ goal of limiting carbon emissions while encouraging development of nuclear power, subsidizing coal mining, and drilling for off-shore oil.”
    Just thought I’d bring that over here as well, from C&S. Cognitive dissonance strikes again. That actually came from a link to a news story from elsewhere, NOT from C&S itself.
