Joe Biden Finally Located and Told to Return to Work

...even though some non-essentials remain non-essential.

Deus Ex Machina

deus ex ma·chi·na n. - 1. In Greek and Roman drama, a god lowered by stage machinery to resolve a plot or extricate the protagonist from a difficult situation. 2. An unexpected, artificial, or improbable character, device, or event introduced suddenly in a work of fiction or drama to resolve a situation or untangle a plot.3. A person or event that provides a sudden and unexpected solution to a difficulty.4. a totally contrived and improbable act necessitated because Obama and Congress believe the people are so stupid we’ll not consider politicians planned the recent debt ceiling “crisis” of October 2013 to be resolved in this hackneyed and trite manner: again and again ad infinitum ad nauseum. - Sarge’s Bitter Almonds Dictionary  

The Hayride

"I suffer with a severe case of dyspepsia brought on by the latest Obaman/ Boehner dramatic performance by droids cast in the role of Senators and Representatives. I know what’s going to happen. It’s embarrassing to know how many of my fellow citizens believe disaster was averted at the last moment by the decisive, bipartisan efforts of our stalwart heroes, Obama and Boehner. The latest dramatization by these two hack playwrights came to the expected final act and as usual, the sky didn’t fall, Pauline’s Perils were averted and all other distressed damsels were saved by the Singing Cowboy. Obama and Boehner plotted this plodder and maintained the dramatic tension of the poorly written play. 

The scripts distributed are so old the mimeographed pages are more a light, misty blue than the powerful purple once noted as the norm in this manner of mass copy reproduction...."

"Now, we’re being instructed to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. “O”, The Great and Powerful has won this one (as usual). Harry Reid said his Senate deal will reopen the government and fund it until January 15. The Republican Capitulation allows for the raising of the debt limit until February 7th to avert this threat of default on our debt obligations. The Republicans stand ready to man the oars of their sinking trireme one more time so Caesar may show his command of the Roman Lake that once was the Potomac. 

The God in the machine descended. The play concluded with the same trite ending as always. The Democrats will explain it’s all the fault of those evil Republicans we approached the abyss leading to Tartarus, the dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked. Tartarus is the place where the wicked received punishment. You know; like we’re stuck with the Congress we re-elect regularly. And thus we see our future in the repetitious acts of a necrotic Congressional culture not understanding they’ve been found out as being less than useless. But stay tuned, the next performance will hit the road between January 15th and February 7th when they’ll again try to convince us to suspend our disbelief."

Barack Obama's Diary: Gloatin' with Putin

The Laughing Conservative

Dear Diary:
Bwaaaaha!ha! I won! I won! I had called Pootin on my iPresidentophone to gloat. It was late at night in Moscow but that only made it more delicious. He answered immediately: "Obamavitch! I know it's you because I have Al Green as your personal ring tone. What is it, Obamavitch?"

I heard a female voice in the background saying: " Vladimir, Vladimir, wherefore art thou, Vladimir?" It was clearly Pootin's Shakespearean actress/mistress with whom he was having a late-night tryst. I said: "Vlad, I got I wanted from the GOP and I'm now going to push for immigration reforms that should bring in another 30 million Democrat voters. "Well done, Obamavitch," he said, " I have a proposal: Here in Russia we have constant problems with Chechnya, a neighboring Sunni muslim country with population of only 1.2 million. How about giving them all political asylum? That would elevate you to superhero among muslims and guarantee you another million Democrats. In return I will continue to instruct you in the devious ways of politics."

"Sounds good, Vlad," I said. "I will seek approval from Comrade Jarrett." But enough about me.

Obama: Ignore the Bloggers and Radio Hosts

".....probably nothing has done more damage to America's credibility in the world, our standing with other countries, than the spectacle that we've seen these past several weeks. It's encouraged our enemies, it's emboldened our competitors, and it's depressed our friends, who look to us for steady leadership."

Yeah, The Turd King actually said that. Look in the mirror Mr. President. There in lies America's problem in the world. 

Even as the dust settles from the last 2 weeks, he still sees fit to place the blame for own his ineptitude on others who do not agree with a fundamental transforming of America into his leftist vision. 

WCJ:

"Apparently unsatisfied with the overwhelming capitulation of congressional Republicans, Barack Obama once again took aim at conservatives during a speech marking the end of the government shutdown. He began by issuing the obligatory pronouncement that there “are no winners here,” despite the fact his party received virtually all of its demands.

The shutdown has “inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy,” he noted, pivoting toward once again blaming the entire fiasco on his political opponents.

“Some of the same folks who pushed for the shutdown and threatened default claim their actions were needed to get America back on the right track,” he continued, “to make sure we’re strong.”

Instead, he concluded, the stalemate has “encouraged our enemies, it’s emboldened our competitors, and it’s depressed our friends.”

He then began identifying those he holds responsible for the discord in Washington, D.C., saying “all of us need to stop focusing on the lobbyists, and the bloggers, and the talking heads on radio and the professional activists who profit from conflict,” saying such voices don’t represent “what the majority of Americans sent us here to do.”

 Time and again, Obama finds it easy and safe to call out strong conservative figures in the media while intentionally ignoring the blatant partisanship constantly broadcast over most mainstream airwaves. Without bloggers and talk radio, the conservative voice would be largely silenced in America — which is precisely the left’s mission.

Since efforts to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine (or some variation thereof) have been thwarted at every level, Obama and his ilk are intent to disparage and vilify high-profile conservatives until they are no longer trusted sources of information.

Unfortunately for the left, those outside of their skewed sphere of influence are more likely to believe the alternative media and conservative talk radio than the paid political hacks posing as nightly news anchors and newspaper reporters."

New York City’s Marxist Power Couple

Bill De Blasio, former aide to socialist New York City Mayor David Dinkins, faces law-and-order Republican candidate Joe Lhota on November 5 for the crown of King of New York.  De Blasio seems to have become the darling of the media for his progressive views and his irreproachable wife, for obvious reasons.

AIM - De Blasio’s support for communist regimes in Cuba and Nicaragua, and his embrace of Islam as an emerging political force, were highlighted in a recent New York Times article. The paper also noted his illegal “honeymoon” to Communist Cuba. However, the mysterious trip occurred in either 1991or 1994, depending on which paper you read, and much about the nature of the travel remains unknown.

Our review of documents concerning de Blasio’s involvement in the communist-front Nicaragua Solidarity Network confirms that notes of one meeting in 1991 say that he stated that Islam was an emerging “power,” and wondered if there were “progressive elements” in Islam “we can work with.”

De Blasio, who is white, married a black woman and former lesbian, Chirlane McCray, and they have had two children together. Modern-day progressives usually consider it wrong to even discuss the option of voluntarily leaving the homosexual lifestyle, but they have let the matter of McCray’s rejection of lesbianism pass without critical comment.

There is no indication that McCray abandoned Marxism after living in an enclave known as the Combahee River Collective.The “collective” has been depicted by the media as a respectable group of feminist intellectuals, who were merely “radical” in some of their thinking. 

The Combahee River Collective had issued a “revolutionary” 1977 statement saying, “We realize that the liberation of all oppressed peoples necessitates the destruction of the political-economic systems of capitalism and imperialism as well as patriarchy. We are socialists because we believe that work must be organized for the collective benefit of those who do the work and create the products, and not for the profit of the bosses.

Grim Reality or Just as Planned??

"In another bit of grim news for the long-term prosperity of these United States, hospitals, medical practices, and related businesses are shedding jobs: 8,000 of them since April, more than in any other sector. For the year, there have been more than 41,000 layoffs at health-care firms. 

As Paul Davidson and Barbara Hansen of USA Today report, those are mostly hospital staffing reductions in response to reduced reimbursement rates for Medicare patients under the sequester and cuts for some providers under the Affordable Care Act. Private insurers, who are starting to experience a burning sensation after having gone to bed with the devil on Obamacare, are reducing payments, too." - Kevin D. Williamson, National Review

When Political Correctness And Common Sense Collide

The DiploMad 2.0: Is it 1854, yet?

"It's hard to get optimistic about the future given what we have seen the last five years, and, in particular what we have seen the last few months, week, and days. On the international scene, the USA has become an irksome joke. 

The Nobel Prize committee, for example, has once again awarded its prize to an institution, the UN's OPCW, that has yet to do what it has been awarded the prize for doing--sound familiar? The prize, of course, is a rebuke to the US and our vague threats to bomb Syria for having CW. The Iranians are laughing at us; Moscow sees an opportunity created by Obama's ineptness for Russia in the Mideast that the Russians could never have dreamed of having; the Chinese, covering up their own impending economic crisis, are busily advocating an "American-free" world; the jihadis are gaining ground throughout the world; and Latin America drifts away. Allies such as Israel, Canada, and Australia must shake their heads, and wonder what has happened to America.

 At home, we have an executive branch run by people who are a lethal mix of incompetent; untruthful; disloyal to and ignorant of our culture, history, and political traditions; and followers of a progressive creed that sees only more and more government as the solution to the problems created by past expansions of government. More government: That's all that's on offer from this strain of progressivism that has taken over our political institutions, media, and schools..."
