The Obama Eulogy to Ted Kennedy

Today we honor our dear friend and colleague Ted Kennedy, Teddy to his fellow senators, Teddy K. to his staff and The Big KY to the interns.

We all have touching stories about Ted, stories of how he touched us in so many ways. As I look out among your saddened faces I am touched by this outpouring of love and regret that so many of Ted's nieces where not able to be here today. Many nights I would see Ted engaged in his tireless outreach to the younger generation as he would explain the subtle nuances of the law to one of his many nieces and their friends over a bottle of wine and a few well deserved cocktails in a private dining room.

Teddy was also a great friend to many of us in the Senate who was always willing to share some subtle way to write or evade some sticky law that had entangled one of us. As Teddy always said, money can't buy happiness but it sure can buy alot of scotch and a few acquittals.

Teddy was a loving and devoted father and a husband to so many women that time does not permit a proper acknowledgment. So to was Teddy's tireless advocacy for parallel monogamy which he worked at his entire adult life with the hope that someday men across America could be free of the crushing burdens of simple monogamy.

There were times last year during the campaign when Teddy's advice was like an anchor for my troubled ship. I'll never forget what he said the day he endorsed me, "Barack, he said, when things look the darkest and you need to talk your way out of some boneheaded move you made just remember that it never hurts to wear a neck brace, it worked for me".

Thus it is fitting that one of the first shovel ready projects that the stimulus package financed was a new bridge over Poucha Pond on Chappaquiddick Island, this one with extra strong guard rails. Never again will an American politician have a sure presidential victory snatched from him by the cruel fates.

I would like to ask all Americans to remember that Ted Kennedy was able to work for his entire career because of the wonderful health care system in America. How many Americans could have made it into work every day as Teddy did after drinking the amount of booze that guy could drink. I don't think many of you could do it and I'm sure we are all astounded that his liver managed to function this long, it was truly a medical miracle. It is a testament to Teddy's focus on health care that the first number on his speed dial was his doctor instead of his lawyer like the rest of us here on capital hill. So just remember when you have a car accident or are falling down drunk, "What Would Teddy Do", WWTD.

In closing I would like everyone to remember that Ted Kennedy was a tireless advocate for the weakest among us, for those without a voice to speak for themselves and those who depend on us for protection, the illegal aliens among us. God bless the wetbacks.

Thank you for your support, God and I bless you ...

We WON !!!

Van "The Red" Jones - The White House Communist

Over at The American Spectator a piece on Van Jones.

Funny how the moderate Obama can't seem to find a single moderate to work for him. A house full of radicals, communists or race baiters.

No wonder Beck's rating are rocking. He's shining the light on these guys and its not looking pretty. Hows that Bash Beck campaign going over at Little Green Footballs ? Seems like the guys at LGF should stick to forged documents.

One of my favorite books "The Tactics of Mistake" by Gordon R. Dickson gives a great example of how you can get a good picture of someones character. I'm paraphrasing here but basically it says you can't depend on a person to show you their true self because they may be able to mask or hide it with actions or words designed to do just that. But the people they surround themselves with won't be able to mask their true selves and by looking at what sort of people a person surrounds themselves with you can get a truer picture of their values than by going on their words and actions.

Does Harsh Interrogation Work ?

To anyone who thinks that harsh interrogation (torture to liberals) can't work I would like to posit a simple example.

Of course if I just wanted you to admit to a crime you didn't commit then of course you'll say whatever it takes to make it stop. So harsh methods will certainly "get" a confession from you. But a confession is not what I want. I want your atm pin code. I know you have one.

I'll bet that if you give me 2 days I can get you to give up the pin code to your atm card.

You may think that you can just lie about it at first. But when I come back after going to the atm with your card (you'll still be tied up :) I'll be alittle more "forceful". We'll continue this until you break.

So in the end I'll have your pin code.

Substitute pin code for some other valuable information that a terrorist will certainly have. No matter what he tells you you can check it out and verify the truthfulness of it. Lying does not make it stop. Oh no, lying actually can make things much worse.

So for all of you "torture never works" deep thinkers, I think you don't know what you are talking about.

Fyi, I won't need to lay a finger on you to get the pin code. On a terrorist on the other hand I might use a couple of fingers.

Obama is a Genius - Really He Is

At least with Biden you could easily tell when he was lying to you.

Of course with Obama it now seems that EVERYTHING was a lie so I guess it's now easy with him as well. You know the whole "if his lips are moving" thing ...

or whenever he says:

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear" (it won't be clear and he will be lying)

"As I have always said" (Usually it was exactly the opposite)

"As I said before" (Usually he's never said it before)

Health Care Debate Thoughts

I hear pro-obamacare folks talk about the people being forced into bankruptcy because of medical costs. In every case I've heard they all have one thing in common, THEY ARE ALL ALIVE. They are now broke but alive. In most other countries of the world, including Canada and Britain they would be dead. Pretty good deal ... alive and currently broke vs. dead.

I've also heard the argument that we need to cover the uninsured and doing so will save us money. First off there is NOBODY IN AMERICA TODAY that can't get medical treatment in nearly any hospital. Guess what, WE ALREADY F**KING PAY for these people with our current health care system. So adding them to an insurance plan won't cost any less.

In fact if you add up the total costs of health insurance premiums and all government programs today you will find that adding millions of healthy 20 somethings under a mandate will increase the total costs to everyone by billions of dollars. 10 million at $300/month = $36 billion a year extra. Guess who benefits, either insurance companies or politicians with the public option. Either way we get screwed ...

Salam Slams Kennedy - who knows ???

The Agenda on National Review Online

To quote Mr. Salam:

"There are many who believe that Kennedy was less an American hero than a
reckless scoundrel who was directly responsible for the death of Mary Jo
Kopechne."

If liberals and could come to grips with the fact that he was both in their
eyes I'd be happy but alas that is not to be for a great majority of the
left.

But on to productive questions ... because noticing that the "Lion of the
Senate" and the leading health care liberal in a generation was a drunken
womanizing fool on top of being a manslaughtering coward does nobody any
good. When you marched behind that elephant of a man the sh*t you had to
pick up must be unbelievable.

Consider this and the IRS reporting requirements in the Health Care bills which for the first time will allow the IRS to share your tax data with other branches of government.

F**k you mr. president ... time for you to write another book and quit trying to become the American version of NorK's Kim K.

Here's a Chappaquiddick joke for you:

I'll bet Obama is relieved that Teddy K's not "driving" his health care reform thru Congress anymore.

Obamacare: The Only Exit Strategy by Charles Krauthammer

Obamacare: The Only Exit Strategy by Charles Krauthammer on National Review Online

Another well thought out article by Dr. K ... I am especially chilled by the last section:

"Isn’t there a catch? Of course, there is. This scheme is the ultimate bait-and-switch. The pleasure comes now, the pain later. Government-subsidized universal and virtually unlimited coverage will vastly compound already out-of-control government spending on health care. The financial and budgetary consequences will be catastrophic.

However, they will not appear immediately. And when they do, the only solution will be rationing. That’s when the liberals will give the FCCCER regulatory power and give you end-of-life counseling."
