Shock: SNL Takes On Obama in Earnest **Video Fixed**

“I am noticing that each of your plans to save money involves spending even more money.”

Remember this moment, folks.  November 21, 2009 at 11:30pm.  Over one year after Obama’s election and just more than ten months into his administration, “Saturday Night Live” takes its first crack at Obama for something other than not being left enough.  Splash of ice-cold water here:

The sketch really isn’t pro-conservative as much as it’s anti-Obama.  SNL mocks the stimulus, Cash for Clunkers, the debt Obama is increasing exponentially, and Obamacare’s bogus accounting, not to mention the fact that Fred Armisen’s too-cool-for-school Obama took the night off, but the writers are careful not argue for an alternative.  SNL deftly takes a crack at one side without directly supporting the other side, a tactic “South Park” has down to a science.  The sketch isn’t rock-solid from a policy standpoint, so we will post the clip of the CNN fact check once they air it.

A Health Dirge Night: President Obama’s Lefty Health Club Band

Though hailed as one at the time, the Beatles masterpiece Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was not Rock’s first “concept” album.  Per John Lennon:  “It doesn’t go anywhere…  It works, because we said it worked…  Every other song could have been on any other album.”

Flash forward to the latest cacophony from “spoken word” Grammy winner President Obama and his Lefty Health Club Band’s radical “concept” album, A Health Dirge Night; examine a few select tracks; and, recognize the reprised promotional chicanery.

The album opens with the derivative 8-track era chestnut, With A Little Help from the Feds.  Here, President Obama’s Lefty Health Club Band warbles that a radical bill must pass – now! – because our broken health care system is in crisis.  Why?  Because they said so.  Yet, while concerned with rising costs, the vast majority of Americans believe our health care system is good or excellent, and they are satisfied with their current plans.  Why then did Obama’s band try to rush release a radical bill before the public could hear how it impacts their current health care plans?

The Anti-Obama Groundswell Begins?

It has been almost two weeks since I have had a chance to write and a lot of things have happened in that time. Most of them evolve around the health care mess that may be the beginning of Obama’s fall from grace.

But, to begin, I have to do something that I never thought I would do and I never thought was in the realm of possibility.  Based upon the knowledge available thus far, I have to give kudos to Bill Clinton.  Unless evidence appears that he sold the country out or promised something to the North Korean government, he is owed a thank you for precipitating the release of two imprisoned American journalists.  So, kudos are being given to a Democrat in this column.  A bet a whole bunch of you never thought that would happen!  (more…)

Is The Republican Party Lost?

Every article you read these days from the liberal media has a very clear message:   the Republican Party is dead and should be buried.  Conservatism is in shambles.  The Democrats have the upper hand and the correct solution for the country.  Tax and Spend is working.  The Stimulus is working.  Foreign powers love us.  All is happy in liberal land. 

I beg to differ.  In fact, I believe the evidence is stronger each day that the Republican Party is making inroads into the Democratic “majority.”  The election happened and Obama and the Democrats are in power.  We have to live with that for another 18 months.  But when one looks at the trends a new picture begins to develop. 

All evidence indicates that the country is going the other way and still leans center-right.  Look at what happened in Virginia yesterday.  In a hotly contested Democratic primary for governor, R. Creigh Deeds, a conservative Democrat, whooped an ex-head of the DNC and staunch supporter of the Clintons.  Deeds is about as far to the right as the Democratic Party gets.  He is so pro-gun that he supports concealed weapons in bars and nightclubs.  I’m not even sure if I go that far.

 Why did Deeds get the nomination?  Well, according to every article and news report, it is because the Virginia Democrats are afraid of losing the governorship in November to the Republican candidate.  Robert McDonnell is a staunch Republican Conservative and the Virginia populace is definitely to the right regardless of whether the state went with Obama.  A liberal Democrat is never going to win Virginia right now and probably never.  (more…)

A 12-Step Liberal Recovery Program

Most 12-step programs start out by requiring that people understand that they’re powerless over their addiction and that only by turning their lives over to a Power greater than themselves can they be restored to sanity.  Far be it for me to suggest that I am that Power, but clearly someone has to step in and try to rescue these poor liberal souls.  Even the most harebrained among them deserves that much.

First, though, they have to acknowledge that Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Dick Durbin, Charles Rangel, Harry Reid and Charles Schumer, are not moderates, but, rather, leftists with a Socialist agenda.  Furthermore, they must recognize that the New York Times, the Washington Post, the L.A. Times, CNN, the three major networks, the news magazines and the New Yorker, are not objective in their reporting of political events, and neither are Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher, in their commentary.  If these entities and individuals are not on the payroll of the DNC, they certainly should be.  They certainly put in longer hours than Howard Dean.

Fool’s Gold

There’s a new gold rush on but you don’t have to head to the hills of California to be part of it.  All you have to do is tune in to talk radio and jot down an “800″ number where a few of the big syndicated shows pimp for the gold merchants.  The ads for these companies are all over radio and television.

I have no problem with a host or show taking advertising from any product.  If Rush wants to run a few Obama ads, no problem. If Dr. Savage can sell ads to the ACLU, I say he should give his sales staff a bonus. I’m a capitalist all for making a nickel who believes in the old saying, caveat emptor – buyer beware.  Yet, it’s different when the host reads the commercial live.  This signifies a level of approval beyond “we let this guy buy ads on our show.” (more…)
