Is Obama Pivoting From Jobs To Syria To ObamaCare Like A Rodeo Clown Ballerina?

by Smitty I guess if Syria isn’t proving enough of a distraction, or the IRS scandal, or the Benghazi scandal, then #OccupyResoluteDesk is just going to have to hit the road and whack the people with his rhetorical bludgeon to keep them from noticing the debt ceiling negotiations (emphasis mine): The White House is mapping […]

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Ready to Make Feeble Unilateral Gesture Against Syria

The British Parliament voted against war, but now that the oceans stopped rising and the planet has begun to heal and Obama has “restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth” — what, you didn’t notice? — President Gutsy Call has decided that go-it-alone foreign policy and military intervention without congressional authorization are […]

Will Syria Be #OccupyResoluteDesk’s Resignation Letter?

by Smitty Stacy hates this sort of noise, but I’ll throw it out there, because I think it’s plausible. BHO is a narcissist. BHO has an awful lot of issues/scandals set to go lively after Labor Day: Benghazi IRS Debt ceiling increase Immigration Continuing resolution in general– ObamaCare in particular BHO is to the Presidency […]

Hmm. @JamesTaranto Mildly Disagrees With @AnnAlthouse? Let Me Try That.

OK, so a Puerto Rican guy kidnapped and raped girls in Cleveland and everybody reported about that case, and not once do I remember anyone arguing that Ariel Castro’s crimes, or the reporting about his crimes, had any specifically racial context. Everybody was just horrified by it, and nobody said either (a) that Puerto Rican […]

Virginia Democrat Won’t Answer Questions About His Sleepover With Teen

Joe Morrissey: He hasn't been charged yet, but he sure looks guilty, doesn't he? http://t.co/IewmK9v168 — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) August 29, 2013 If you’re an unmarried politician who gets caught with a 17-year-old girl spending the night at your house, you’d better have a plausible excuse ready when reporters ask you about the police […]

NYT Cranks The Judas Priest

by Smitty Could be the most unintentionally funny headline of the year: “Bomb Syria, Even if It Is Illegal” There are moral reasons for disregarding the law, and I believe the Obama administration should intervene in Syria. But it should not pretend that there is a legal justification in existing law. Secretary of State John […]

LOL: @LaurelRConrad Smacks Liberal HuffPo Commenters With the Truth

You remember the Oberlin racism hoax (“Another God-Hating Anti-American Democrat Exposed as a Criminal Liar“) in which the perpetrator of that high-profile pseudo-hate-crime was revealed as an Obama supporter who hates God and hates America. Of course, all Democrats do, but I digress . . . Laurel Conrad reports the comic denouement: After the hoax […]

Your Semi-Official Obama vs. Syria Armageddon Predictions Thread

“Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail) Let me jump out in front of the anti-war movement before U.S. attacks Syria: "OBAMA LIED! PEOPLE DIED! NO W.M.D.! FIRE CAN'T MELT STEEL!" — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) August 27, 2013 We’re supposed to start bombing the crap out of Damascus sometime soon, because […]
