Weekend Open Thread

Posted by: ST on April 18, 2009 at 9:30 am

Got some errand running to do, and it is a truly gorgeous day outside to do that.

Meanwhile, let’s take a look at the face of a thug who knows he’s just one-upped America, thanks to our “brilliant” President.

The reax to this disgraceful moment in US history are starting to pile up at Memeorandum.

Update – 10:52 AM: Make sure to read Fausta’s post on the warm greetings exchanged between Obama and Chavez the last couple of days. I didn’t think I could get any madder about this …

    Truly sickening … Mr. Jimmy Carter must be so proud.

    BHO will give the book he got from Chavez as a gift to the Queen.

    In his weekend radio address His Hollowness talked about “eliminating wasteful programs”. My suggestion? Eliminate the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our government, then start from scratch refilling those positions and their functions per the way the Constitution they are sworn to uphold and defend describes each.

    Right off the top, it would save the country over $1 trillion, and would sure get rid of a bunch of wastrels.

    In happier news, a woman was shot in the head, then made tea.

    Hard to not believe in miracles.
