Better to keep your mouth shut . . . you know the rest

Headline in today's Washington Post:

Gingrich pledges $2.50 gas, Obama: 'it's easy to make phony promises'

Wow, look who's talking. And who would know better than King Barack?

What is to become of us?

Look at what's going on all over the world. And right here at home.

I mean it. Take a look.

Perhaps you'll agree with my assessment:

It is all too much for King Barack. Everlastingly too much. He was ill-prepared and continues to be sub-effective.

That doesn't mean he isn't trying to make it appear that he really does rule the world.

And it doesn't mean he will ever stop taking credit for any good thing anywhere and blaming the bad on someone else--Republicans, mostly.

Republicans, who continue to shoot themselves in the foot/feet, by the way.

Oh King Barack. Will your reign never end?

It's just going to get worse, I guess

No, I had not forgotten about Newt's reprimand by Congress for ethics violations. I suppose some people don't remember or don't know about it. I suppose they need to know about it.

Still. I don't like that new Romney ad. Don't like this nasty stuff.

Yes, I know. It's politics.

Gingrich Gas

As in, Newt is starting to give me said discomfort. And I ask you,

Who died and made Newt whatever he is, or thinks he is?

He's intelligent, right? But it takes more than that. I hope.

Now it begins, although this is hardly the beginning

So Romney squeaked by in Iowa.

Has this whole thing been going on forever? I think so.

If he squeaks by in New Hampshire and elsewhere, if he becomes the Republican candidate, will that be good? He says he knows he has a big target on his back and is ready. I wonder.

NBC is planning a special segment on his Romney relatives who are Mexican citizens. I kind of dread that "very interesting story." But maybe I'm wrong in thinking they won't be nice to him.

Mormon. People won't vote for a Mormon. I keep hearing that until I'm really sick of it. And a Mormon whose people colonized in Mexico, sent by the Mormon church to do so. Oh boy.

My friend Joan sent this today

The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capital this Christmas season.

This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol.

A search for a Virgin continues.

There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.

Think on this

"America is not perfect," says Dr Singh, a refugee from Burma, from whence he fled with his family because "there are no human rights in Myanmar, no human rights."

"But to my mind," he continues with genuine feeling, "it [America] is the best place, bar none, the best place to live in the world."
