Collateral Damage

The Point That Usually Comes First to My Mind

Quote du jour

This is my new book. It’ll be out on October 27, “Give me Liberty or Give me Obamacare.” I couldn’t decide on the title. I was thinking different ones, “Fifty Shades of Stupid: The Barack Obama Story.” I thought of “Conservatives are from Mars, Liberals are From Uranus,” “An Illustrated Guide to Impeachment,” but it’ll be “Give Me Liberty or Give me Obamacare.”

-Michael Ramirez

Quote du jour

Now we’ve seen, despite the vociferous assertions from the Obama administration that the war on terror is over, that Al-Qaida is on the run — he said that I think 32 times during his election in 2012, even assuring us in the State of the Union that the shadow of crisis has passed and we’ve turned the page on terror, and that his expert military and diplomatic leadership has made the world a safer place. Secretary of State John Kerry said exactly the same thing, none of which is true.

A Duck's Tale

There was this duck. This duck waddled into a store and went up to the manager and said, “Got any grapes?” The manager looked at the duck and he said, “No, we have no grapes.” Duck said, “Oh” and walked out. Ten minutes later this duck comes waddling in, goes up to the manager and says, “Got any grapes?” The manager looks at the duck and he says, “No, we have no grapes.” Duck goes, “Oh” and walked out. Ten minutes later, the duck comes waddling in, goes up to the manager and says, “Got any grapes?” The manager says, “What’s wrong with you? I just told you twice we have no grapes. I have no fruit section. We will never have grapes.” Duck goes, “Oh,” walks out. Ten minutes later the duck comes waddling in, goes up to the manager again: “Got any grapes?” Manager says, “What’s wrong with you, duck? I have no grapes. I will never have grapes. I don’t like grapes. I don’t like ducks. Get out.” Duck goes, “Oh.” Ten minutes later the duck comes waddling in. The manager says, “Hold it right there, duck. If you ask me for grapes one more time I’m going to nail your little web feet to the floor. Ask me for anything else. Do not ask me for grapes.” Duck looks at him and says, “Got any nails?” He says, “No.” “Got any grapes?”

The Emperor's New Credibility

Detail from Michael Ramirez cartoon
Remember the old Hans Christian* Anderson story about the emperor who was bamboozled by some con men who convinced him that they could make him elegant clothes from a cloth that was so spectacular that only fools couldn't see it? At which point, the emperor said, "With so many Democrats in my empire, I shall have the most transparent reign in history!" Maybe that was another story... Anyway, neither the emperor or his advisers or most of his subjects wanted to admit they couldn't see it, and be branded a fool, so everybody went along with the charade, until one little boy, a Young Republican, I think, looked at the emperor, and said, "What a perv! Aren't there any laws about indecent exposure??"

I first started thinking about the bamboozlers in that story when I thought of the disastrous launch of the Healthcare.gov website. How many sycophantic fools must there be in the Obama administration to let the boss go to the microphone and compare the unmitigated disaster of Obamacare to an iPhone? But, before "The Emperor's New Website" could see the light of day, we had the revelation that the administration knew as early as 2010 that millions of Americans would not be able to keep the policies they liked, at prices they could afford. And yet, the President, at every opportunity, repeated over and over the now infamous thirteen words:

"If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan. Period."

Leaky White House Needs a Plumber

"The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive"

-Barack Obama

"My" White House? Yes, Mr. President. The notion that the White House would purposely release classified national security information for cheap partisan political gain is offensive. After all these leaks, after all these months, maybe you should call a plumber?
