HALF-FULL REPORT 05/04/12

This has been yet another week in the unfolding saga of The Weirdness of Zero.  We’ll start with what the Washington Times calls his Midnight Madness:

"Americans witnessed a bizarre made-for-TV event Tuesday night (5/01). President Obama travelled 14,000 miles to Afghanistan to engage in a midnight marathon of election-year photo-ops. Never has U.S. national security been so twisted to fit a personal political agenda."

This, right on the heels of Zero’s I Shot Bin Laden ad which the London Telegraph (5/01) describes as turning "a military triumph into a political disaster."  The ad has Zero looking "so politically tone deaf he makes Joe Biden look like Machiavelli."

And on top of this, we have Zero’s Composite New York Girlfriend flap this week (5/02).  The white girlfriend described in Dreams was made up, it turns out – but that’s okay by the lib media since the book’s preface warned of this.  But it’s not okay – for the real story is that she was no pretend composite at all.  She really existed – but she never knew Zero.

As revealed by super sleuth, Jack Cashill, she was the girlfriend of the man who actually wrote Zero’s book, Bill Ayers.  She was a Communist terrorist, like Ayers, named Diana Oughton, who blew herself up making a terrorist bomb in a New York apartment in 1970.  She did such a thorough job of obliterating herself, all the forensic guys could find was the tip of the little finger of her right hand.  I love stories with a happy ending.

Speaking of Communists… on Monday (4/30), Zero’s people released a campaign video entitled Forward – instantly recognized as echoing Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, which resulted in 45 million Chinese "worked, starved, or beaten to death" from 1958-1962, qualifying Mao as the greatest mass murderer in history.

When Romney was asked by a reporter what he thought of "Forward," he responded, "Forward… what, off a cliff?"  That’s all it took to puncture Forward’s balloon.  Then out came the counter-video, Backward.  What a Zero Campaign disaster.

You’d think after such a bizarrely bad week that Zero’s campaign geniuses would pack it in – but no.  What they came out with last night (5/03) is so over-the-top stupid it takes your breath away.

It is a sophomorically-done silent slide show, The Life of Julia.  You won’t believe how bad this is.  Julia’s entire life, cradle to grave, is protected by Zero’s socialist largesse and protected from the evil Romney who wants to take it all away. 

Julia’s parents don’t exist.  She’s enrolled in Head Start, can’t succeed in school with government handouts, "undergoes surgery" (an abortion?) for free in college, gets free contraceptives, has a child (no mention of a father/husband), starts a web business with an SBA loan, goes on Medicare, retires to live on Social Security enabling her to "volunteer in a community garden."

This thing has been up for less than 24 hours and, boom!, the blogosphere has exploded with ridicule and parodies.  It’s been retitled, Monty Python’s The Life of Julia (after their Life of Brian comedy).  Even that liberal bastion, The Atlantic, came out this morning with "Obama’s ‘Life of Julia’ Was Made To Be Mocked."  Here’s how IOwnTheWorld did it:

 
Anyone can do it.  Just replace the text with yours and you get:

Or:

 
It took the Twitterati mere minutes to set up a #Julia parody account. Here’s a tiny taste of the ridicule tweets pouring in:

*I was actually aborted but thanks to Obama, survive in 2-dimensional campaign story books.

*By age 40, Julia has written 2 autobiographies even though she’s accomplished nothing. Wait, that was Obama. Julia is still unemployed.

*Does anyone else notice that Obama is president for all of Julia‘s life?

*Obama stopped being president-for-life in 2035.  Ever since, he’s the O Great Wise Wonderful One.

*Age 23: Julia graduates. There are no jobs. Thanks to Obama, Julia can live comfortably in her parents’ basement.

*Julia died at age 78. She voted Democrat until age 92.

Folks, all of these massive campaign blunders happened this one week.  Notice how all the moonbat airheads on television are gushing over how "cool" Zero is?  This is a desperate counter to Zero’s becoming an object of ridicule.  Nothing damages a politician more than being a joke.

One of the other #Julia tweets is:  "Is it my imagination, or does Julia have ‘high cheekbones’?"

This refers to another Dem being ridiculed this week:  Elizabeth "Pocahantas" Warren.  She’s the Harvard Law School prof who’s the Dem Dream Girl to defeat Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate race in November.  She’s a whiter-than-white blue-eyed blonde, yet she claimed minority status as a Native American to advance her career at Harvard. 

When the Brown campaign hammered her for scamming "Harvard’s diversity sham," her defense was pathetic – claiming, without any evidence, that her great-great-great-grandmother was a Cherokee princess.  And that she knew she was part Indian because her grandfather had "high cheekbones."   

You can’t make this up.  Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, thinks Warren’s campaign may be toast:  "This is what happens when candidates don’t tell the truth. It’s pretty obvious she was using (the minority listing) for career advancement."  And it’s pretty obvious she’s becoming a joke like Zero.

The HFR’s favorite Congressista this week is Louie Gohmert (R-TX). 

Perhaps the funniest movie of all time is Animal House.  Gohmert must agree.  Made in 1978 and starring John Belushi, there is a scene where Dean Vernon Wormer advises inebriated "Flounder" Dorfman:  "Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."

On the House floor just before recess adjournment (4/27), Louie explained what advice he gives to liberal college students in his district:  "Son, dumb, dependent, and Democrat is no way to go through life."

Louie is cool.

Sorry to rain on this happy parade, but there’s a news item out today (5/04) that’s worrisome:  Joe Biden Left Out of Top Campaign Meetings.  Which connects to the debacle of the blind Chinese human rights activist, Chen Guangcheng.

You know the sad story – how he heroically escaped from house arrest on April 22, made it hundreds of miles to Beijing and into the US Embassy where he asked for asylum, only to be refused and cast out to the Chicom wolves.  This right while Mrs. Clinton is in Beijing meeting with all the Chicom leaders.

If the story ended this way, it would mean we could put our fears of her replacing Slow Joe on Zero’s ticket to rest – for she couldn’t recover from exposure as a sniveling cowardess capitulating to Commie Chinese brutality (they threatened to kill Chen’s wife if he didn’t surrender to them).

Now comes the story this morning that Clinton has made a deal for Chen and his family to come to the US on a student visa.  This is good news, of course, for a heroic man – but all of a sudden, the odds for Obama-Clinton 2012 just went through the roof.

A few days ago, Chen was begging Hillary to help him, and calling Congress to explain how much danger he was in, and that Mrs. Clinton wouldn’t speak to him.  Now Hillary is the hero, the rescuer. Looks like Joe’s out, the PIAPS is in.  Not good.

To get our mind off that, let’s contemplate the cosmos.

It’s nigh impossible to wrap our minds around the size of the universe, 14 billion light years across with hundreds of billions of galaxies and hundreds of trillions of stars.  To think that we are alone in all of it seems ridiculous.  The universe must, in the opinion of many astronomers and regular folks, be teeming with life.

But if it is, then as Enrico Fermi famously asked, "Where is everybody?"

I discussed this back in March, 2007, in Unique In The Universe. This week we learn of two Princeton scientists who, applying rigorous mathematical analysis of actual data, argue that life on earth may indeed be a "one-off aberration" – that life may in fact not have evolved anywhere else.

There might be just us chickens in here, boss.  Something to contemplate when you look up to the heavens on a starry night.

Back to Earth.  Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo — celebrated by American gringos as an excuse to drink cheap tequila margaritas and eat bad Mexican food.  This is explained – along with a synopsis of the entire history of Mexico – in Cinco de Reality (May 2010).  It will make a good read while sipping on a margarita or two.

Let me implore you, however, to do it right. No ready-made mixes and lousy booze.  Here’s the guide for you:  Mastering The Margarita. Have fun!

Spotting Losers of the Week is always fun.

Here’s a thrilling story about Subsidy Cliff – how the crony capitalist crooks of "green energy" are set to lose all their subsidies.

Eric Cantor (R-VA) and his Young Rinos (he calls them Young Guns) are going down in flames next Tuesday (5/08) when Octo-Rino Dick Lugar loses his primary race against Sarah Palin-backed Richard Mourdock in Indiana.  In the latest poll released this afternoon (5/04), Mourdock has a double-digit lead.

The biggest loser will be France this Sunday (5/06).  Francois Hollande is a panty-waisted Marxist who will rubble-ize the entire French economy.

We’ll end with a report from Denmark.  Since we learned this week (5/03) that the number of Moslems has doubled in the US since 9/11, it’s worth studying psychologist Nicolai Sennels’ research on Moslems in Danish prisons, which are overflowing with them.

Sennels is the psychologist for Copenhagen’s Youth Prison, interviewing in depth hundreds of young Moslem and non-Moslem convicts.  He has written the results in a paper entitled, Why Are Muslims More Violent and Criminal? 

For they in fact are, and he has discovered a number of reasons, psychological and cultural, why.  I think you’ll find it fascinating – and I suspect you will see similarities that apply to those who are "dumb, dependent, and Democrat" here in the US.

That’s it.  Enjoy that well-made margarita!
