Gifts That Keep on Giving

Since Obama magnanimously gave British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a DVD collection, what might the Obamas give to the Queen were she to visit? I'm thinking...chia Obama!


The perfect gift for everyone!

BTW, had he wanted to personalize his choice in movies, he should have picked something slightly more autobiographical...like "The Rookie"! Heh.

Guns, Guns, Guns!

Some funny stuff with great lines about Gandhi and Pelosi. And of course, mocking Michael Moore is never time wasted!

Quote du jour

Eric Holder may call us cowards for not discussing race more openly, but if he were to examine the current class offerings at a California public university, or read the syllabi of the courses, he would quickly discover that race, class, and gender are the common themes — an approach designed to encourage grievance and separatism, which consumes precious student hours at the expense of real learning in the liberal arts and hard sciences.

Quote du jour

Noting the president’s assurance that the 250-grand-and-under crowd won’t pay “a single dime” more in taxes, the Wall Street Journal calculated that if you took every single dime — that’s 100 per cent — of the over-250K crowd, it barely begins to pay for this program, even before half of them flee the country. The $4 trillion Congress is planning on spending next year (2010) could just about be covered if you took every single dime of the taxable income of every American earning over $75,000.
