Open Thread Tuesday

Too funny! I hope it is true.

Obama's Presidential Approval index is now at 0! 33% strongly approve and 33% strongly disapprove. It won't go much lower though because there is about 15% of the population that will NEVER strongly disapprove no matter what he does.

It's a good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read that.

I haven't seen the original but did see Point. I enjoyed it well enough. My wife was a big fan of the TV series.

I second that. Jean Reno was way better as the cleaner though.

Sure – and regardless of what he should ever accomplish, there will always be that group that’ll always besmirch him.

…but then we also will always have holocaust deniers, civil rights objectors, FDR new deal criticizers and climate crisis antagonists.

I've seen both and liked Bridget too.

What's going on in Iran is a great argument for our Second Amendment rights. The Right to Bear Arms isn't just to protect our homes from intruders and foreign armies, but from tyranny from our own government. The people of Iran don't have that right, and thus it is more difficult for them to fight against their own oppressive government.

*puts on my Jewish cowboy hat, jumps on my horse and rides all around town shooting my revolver into the air*

EEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAA!

Failed ideas! The ideas that made this the greatest, most powerful, and most patterned nation on the planet. Socialism has failed every where it has been tried. Move to one of those places. I'll pick up your moving expenses.

What ????? We aren't safest when the gov't has all the guns. That sneaky Pol Pot lied to me. Darn it!

I remember seeing Nikita the year it first played in the US. Loved it!

I got a good chuckle today out of Obama stumbling over the live grenade "questions" that he was answering over Iran, health care and smoking. What is 95% cured of smoking mean? Where did he install the smoking Office? He said that he doesn't subject anyone to his smoking, so they must have a private room that only he can enter.

It looks like he finally found the courage to condemn Iran after seeing everyone else doing it. If he would have been the first to condemn, he wouldn't have to need the world to back his comment. How much negative press did he need before he got the stones to say anything? Nice try Barry, but you're too late to sound sincere.

Dr. Pepper is now officially all over my keyboard.. LMAO. The French drive many a people to violence, just ask the Germans.

I will give Obama credit for a line in his Cairo speech about just how plain idiotic it is to deny the Holocaust.

But as for FDR new deal criticizers, the way the American public school system teaches the New Deal is simply horrible. They white wash everything. And considering the teachers are in unions, that's hardly surprising.

Since there's no way I could ever convince you the New Deal isn't better than canned beer, allow me one remark: why did every nation in the world suffer a depression, but only America suffered a Great Depression?

Major league screw ups by politicians of both parties.

The gossip I've been reading on the internet says his senior staff have been pushing him hard to get off the fence and make a statement, in particular, Clinton and Biden.

My guess it wasn't courage he found, but rather unpleasant poll numbers.

My German is rusty. What do those words mean? I'm guessing , "She has no worries. She kills. She loves". I would appreciate a more authoratative translation.

the New Deal wa so wonderful that FDR needed WWII to bail him (and us) out of yet another tailspin; the economy that Coolidge bequeathed to his successors stunk until Ike got in in '53.
Then the recovery started and lasted until 'The Great Society' turned rural folk into ghetto dwellers and and wasted over three trillion dollars (of real money, not Obamascript). Then Reagan gave the country back to the people and we had the greatest period of economic growth worldwide in modern history.

Other than that the New Deal was fine…

My German is even lousier than yours – so I cheated and used the online 'German to English' translation. And it came out – "It has no anxiety. It kills. It loves."

Jewish cowboys are cool, Kinky Friedman comes to mind- but jewish Indians are even better. Jeff Chandler was our favorite…

Please patricius, stop your whining. Sotomayor is Obama's choice, he won the Presidency, and what he says goes.

and let us not forget Mel Brooks' yiddish Indian Chief.

I am sorry we have offended you with our acceptance of shiny metal phallic symbols. As we offended you before with our acceptance of big SUV's and pick-ups and those horrifying Camaro's and Mustangs. Now please resume your crusade against the phallic symbols that eject stuff at people, as well as your one to force everyone to drive the little tiny vehicles that you find so much more non-threatening (to the environment).
