Hey, my mistake...Big Britches and his old lady are flying seperately to Denmark. She is there now and he is wasting his own fuel and resources on Friday.
Sorry about that.

My, What a Huge Carbon Footprint You Have, Mr. President!
Hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Big O just deliver an address on Climate Change (man-made, of course - primarily by filthy, selfish Americans), at the oh-so-very-pro-American U.N. last week?
And now I hear he will be Air Force One-ing off to Copenhagen this Friday (he will be on the ground for 3 hours, then return), to speak - Yes! A Fresh Speech! - to the I.O.C. on behalf of Chicagoland in their bid for the 2016 Olympics.
Yes, President Meglomaniac will blow another opportunity to speak of American Exceptionalism, no doubt. How will he criticize this nation while pleading his adopted hometown's merits for a huge event such as the Olympics?
If he doesn't say something bad and derogatory - he always does - won't that make him a fibber, at least by his own standards?
To me, that is beside the point; We already know what to expect from his speeches. (For one thing, that puffed up chin thing is getting really old).
The real tragedy of this trip is the sheer waste: of time, of fuel, of resources on the ground. All to sell a city that is phenomenally corrupt in large measure because of the man flying to Denmark to do the selling.
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," President Wasteful said in 2008 on the campaign trail.
*****Side Note: Last winter it was widely reported that the thermostat in the Oval Office - under Obama - was being kept on 80 degrees*****
"That's not leadership, that's not going to happen," he promised.
Just words? Just speeches?
What a jackass.
And the First Jackass-ette limoed a few blocks from the White House last week to attend a farm market downtown, increasing her own already massive carbon footprint.
Of course, she's in tow on this Copenhagen Quickie as well.
And there was date night in New York City; an AF1 photo op over NYC a few months ago that Dear One had to have authorized (then played dumb when it became a scandal).
What an exemplary Public Servant He turned out to be.
What a jackass.

No He Didn't!
Hey, a quick shout out and thank you to the Obama administration for extending three key provisions of the loathesome Patriot Act which Dear Leader, during the campaign, vowed to abandon due to their unconstitutionality (among other reasons).
Oops.
These provisions, set to expire in December, give the U.S. government broad powers to monitor - in seemingly unconventional ways - "suspicious characters" and potential "evil-doers."
My sources tell me that Bill Maher is having a few extra guests on this evening who will bitterly and abjectly criticize the Prezzy's decision: Janine Garofalo, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Ed Asner, Sean Penn, Mike Farrell, Jon Stewart, Chris Matthews, Keith Maddow, Rachel Olbermann, David Letterman, Barbra Streisand, Brad Pitt, Joy Behar, Barbara Walters, Jimmy Carter, Cindy Sheehan, Sam Donaldson, George Stephanopoulos, Anderson Cooper, Bill Press, Alan Colmes, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Bill Clinton, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, George Soros, Katie Couric, Charles Gibson, Brian Williams, Tom Brokaw, David Gergen, Paul Begala, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney and Dan Rather.
And that's just in the first segment.
Set your Tivo's...it's gonna be a long night.

Kanye West Doesn't Care About White People
Hey, what else am I to deduce given his bizarre behavior at the MTV Video Awards 2009 held in New York City last night?
After uttering barely two sentences of her acceptance speech, Country artist Taylor Swift was accosted by Kanye West who snatched the microphone out of her delicate hands to rant - though briefly - about how Beyonce (up for the same award, sitting near the front of the auditorium), had one of the best videos of all time.
West told Swift, "I'm gonna let you finish..." after he grabbed the mike.
Excuse me? He's going to let her finish?
This is the same A**hole who, after Hurricane Katrina nearly leveled the entire Gulf Coast, told an audience that "George Bush doesn't care about black people!"
(Remembering that New Orleans, at the time, was a city with a democrat mayor in a state with a democrat governor.)
I'm sure there are other misbehaviors by this piece of garbage, but I don't need to hear about them or report them hear.
I understand that West may have been drinking alcohol at the time and that he later apologized to Taylor. Neither matters to me. (To tell you the truth, I was already pretty nauseated by the opening remarks by the emcee, some obnoxious Brit I've never heard of, and who appeared to be a no-talent hack, so it was time for me to go to bed shortly after West's stunt).
Later last night, in a very classy move, Beyonce, after winning Best Video of the year, invited Taylor back on stage to finish her thank-you's. You go, girl!
In an unrelated outburst earlier in the weekend, Serena Williams told a line judge at the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament (also in New York City), that if she could, she would shove "this f***ing tennis ball down your f***ing throat!"
In the video, the line judge - a female - appears to be of Asian descent.
The foot fault call was made on Serena's second serve, giving her opponent, Belgian Kim Clijsters a match point opportunity. After some discussion by the Chair Umpire and Tournament Director, Serena was issued a penalty point giving the match - and advancement to the Women's Final - to Clijsters.
She would go on to win the tournament.
Williams apologized - twice - and was fined $10,000.
I suggest Kanye and Serena go on a date together...to an anger-management meeting.

NY Times Reports 500 attend DC Tea Party
Hey, that was the joke anyway by one of the speakers after an announcement was made that ABC Snooze was projecting 2 million attendees at the Rally today.
Park Police estimated the crowd at 1.2 mil.
I think not.
There were 170 million people there...in spirit anyway.
My guess is that the angry mob numbered somewhere between 200 - 300 thousand gun-nuts, racists, religious fanatics, homophobes and wife-beater-wearing rednecks.
And I loved every minute of it.*
I sort of slept late, so had to scramble to get out of here with waning hopes of catching the tail end of the march which was scheduled to begin at 11:30 at Freedom Plaza across the street from the Reagan Building.
I was tooling down West Ox in the S2000 when I realized I'd forgotten my pitchfork, so that was another delay in getting to the Metro.
Speaking of which, Metro had NO clue what was coming today. They were one-tracking between East Falls Church and Ballston...ALL DAY. Coming and going, they were doing repairs.
The train was packed with locals and patriots from all over. I stood in line with some New Yorkers who'd been on a bus since 4 a.m.
I didn't get to join the back end of the march because, as it turns out, that mob had to start moving forward at 10:10 instead of 11:30; there were too many people and the crush of it all was like a human-powered glacier on Pennsylvania Avenue.
I walked the several blocks from Federal Triangle to the Reflecting Pool and West Lawn of the Capitol. I was in good company and spoke to many like-minded folks along the way.
The Protester's signs were very clever:
Obama is Jimmy Carter on Steroids
Communism Has Only Killed 100 million People...Let's Give it Another Try
Abortion Is Not Health Care
Joe Wilson 2012
Bend Over...Here Comes the Change
Read My Teleprompter...Stop the Spending
Don't Barney Frank Me (Use your imagination for that graphic)
I was wearing my Welcome Back Carter (likeness of Dear One on the front) tee shirt and was stopped several times for a photo op.
This was a friendly and enthusiastic crowd of angry mobsters. I met people from all over...Kansas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania...and some of them told me they had met Tea Partiers from Alaska and Hawaii.
I covered a lot of ground, snapping candid photos and stopping along the way to listen to the speakers or chat with a new friend.
Two highlights of the day:
There was literally no litter. I recall being at Big O's Innaguration and the ground was blanketed with trash (I notice these things, sorry). I also remember the aftermath of last year's DNC convention when thousands of American flags were found stuffed in trash bags in the back alley. Not so with the Tea Partiers. These people naturally don't have the ability to throw crap on the ground...amazing.
Secondly, there was a huge contingency of young people. I mean enthusiastic, energetic, clean, bright and articulate young people. I started to feel a glimmer of hope that there might be some change coming.
I don't have anything clever to close with other than to say what an amazing day this was. I was very proud to be among tens of thousands of friends I never knew I had. I hope we can do this again sometime soon.
*Metro sucked, coming and going, but I will resist the opportunity to bash them here.

9/11
Hey, I think it would have been instructive to show video footage of the mayhem and carnage that took place in DC, New York and south eastern Pennsylvania eight years ago today to our school children. No, not to first graders, 2nd, 3rd, fourth graders, but kids in fifth grade and older.
I mean, Chairman Mao-bama was allowed/encouraged to address the little tykes with a message that had to be tempered and re-written pre-delivery because of its strong language akin to indoctrination and hypnosis.
(BTW, if the corrected address was so inocuous - so says everyone on the left - then why even bother delivering it?)
I have seen some excellent 9/11 documentaries - most seemingly unbiased - that would be appropriate for young adults. I mean, come on...most young people can't wait for the next horror/slasher movie to come 'round. I was a huge fan of everyone of them (Halloween, Friday the 13th, 'Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Shining...), and look at me. I'm norm---
Ahem.
My point is that, though multiple graphic shots of jets exploding inside the towers, people running away in sudden, unexpected terror and doomed souls jumping from windows mere hours after waking is quite disturbing and upsetting, it is also important to not forget what that day meant to our country and countrymen.
It's now a history lesson for the ages.
I remember precisely where I was and what I was doing on September 11, 2001 when the attacks began. Ironically, I was driving past Dulles Airport listening to talk radio on my way to work.
The first reports were vague at best and my office manager called to see if I'd heard the news. I was minutes from the office and needless to say, within an hour of arriving there, our crews were on their way in and I was headed for home. We all went home to our TV's to watch the terrible attack and it's aftermath unfold.
It's hard to imagine that a senior in high school - much less an 11th, 10th, 9th and so-on-grader - has much of the same recollection. To read or listen to a lecture about September 11, 2001 is one thing; to remember experiencing the fear and uncertainty is another.
I believe the video - as graphic as it is - can be a teachable moment for our young people.
And it needs to be shown once a year on this day in America's classrooms. Of course, parents need to be educating their children about the significance of this day as well.
May God bless this country, her defenders and all the innocents who perished on that terrible day.

I will be attending the Tea Party March and Rally in Washington tomorrow, wearing my Welcome Back Carter T-shirt (photo of Dear One on it). I will file a report about the events as soon as I am able.

Trail mix...check! Sleeping bags...check!
Hey, Matt and I are leaving tomorrow morning for our annual Labor Day camping trip to Hillside Campground in northern Pennsylvania (30 miles south of Binghampton, NY).
This will be our seventh or eighth trip(?) It takes five hours driving to get there. Car food and bottled water and anticipation.
This is a gay men's campground and the setting is literally a wooded hillside of about 150 acres, gravel switchbacks cut into it; a stream and waterfall and bridge down below.
There are numerous "permanent" campers who have camping trailers, decks, patios, fireplaces, bars, big screen TV's and all manner of other comforts.
There are also other sites where guys pitch tents, cook on Coleman stoves and eat at picnic tables.
We stay on Site 60 - a group site of 20 or so tents and usually a smattering of guys we've met over the years.
There is an outdoor kitchen where Matt prepares Food Network-quality meals (this weekend's menu includes Grilled Flank Steak Pinwheels, Asian Halibut and Brown Rice Packets and Roasted Corn Quesadillas).
At night there is a disco dance and bonfire at the Rec Hall.
Cocktails have been consumed at brunch (cooked on the propane grill or stove), and naps have been taken in the afternoon.
Sunday is the USO Party with free keg beer and drag show. This is a theme party and military attire is most appropriate especially the "look" prevalent during WWII.
The nudists don't wear anything. (It's fun hanging out with them -so to speak - at the bonfire.)
So tonight's task is to move everything from inside our house into the back of my truck. We need the backseat, too (it's a 4 door Tacoma).
I better get busy.
I'll blog to you next week. Have a great Labor Day break!

September 8, 2009: National Indoctrination Day
Hey, I've decided to stop saying "You're not going to believe this," because once again we are presented with another "Who does he think he is?" moment.
Seems Chairman O is going to address the nation's school children (K-6, I understand), via a taped message on Tuesday September 8.
Do I have to stop saying, "No - really!" too?
The WH is poo-pooing the notion that this will be an exercise in Brain-Washing 101.
Of course that's what it is. And it's awfully damn ballsy, too.
There is NO WAY Bush 43 could have gotten away with this. You'll remember he was reading to school children in Florida during the first moments of the 9/11 tragedy. I'm certain he wasn't reading from Alinsky, Ayers, Wright, Fleger or Marx, though.
If I were a parent, I would keep my child out of school for the day. I am aware that schools have the "option" of airing the speech or not, but come on. Public schools are liberal democrat-owned and operated: they are going to show it happily and with great enthusiasm.
This doesn't end with a speech, mind you. Schools are being provided followup questionaires/worksheets for the crumb-crunchers to help further the "discussion."
How is the President asking you to help him? as an example.
Discuss, Don't Debate.
Okay, if the theme of the speech is getting kids to understand the long-term value of staying in school, what does that question have to do with not dropping out?
Nothing. Because it's once again all about Barry and his radical agenda. I will wager that Dear One is going to suggest that staying in school will somehow result in getting a good job in the "Green Industry," or Community Agitating.
How will he pull off eloquently bashing the private sector?
Will he cajole our young people into signing up for his promised Civilian Security Force? Or at least aspire to same?
During the Intermission, will the future workers be allowed to practice goose-stepping around the perimeter of the playground?
This will be a disaster with a uge-Hay acklash-Bay.
omise-Pray.

New Cheap Trick Song/Vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYit_yxRSEw&feature=player_embedded
"Sick Man of Europe"
Hey, from the new album, The Latest. Available on CD, 8 track & vinyl. http://www.cheaptrick.com/
This is a whip-cracker of a rock song, very much like late 1970's CT -- punk almost. I've always said they are best when they get back to bare basics technically and let Robin scream his guts out.
Good job, guys. Gonna get this one.
Also, they are playing this song live on Conan tonight.
