Unfortunately, every cartoon can’t be focused on our dummy-in-chief and his inept minions, as much as we like to kick his sorry a%$s around, which he so richly deserves. Every once in a while we need to come up for air and laugh at some of the other idiots in our society, which they also richly deserve.

Yes, Mike is one of the handful of real talents in journalism. It’s the highlight of my coffee time to open the newspaper and see what his mind has put together. He goes that step or two beyond what an ordinary mind would do with a news event. Most comedians simply find the common thread between two or three disparate items in the news and then simply mine humor by sewing them together. But Mike Luckovich gives it a twist that really satisfies, and remarkably it’s usually a screwball that only he could have pitched.

We maybe should applaud our hometown artist more!!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t ml’s cartoon about two Hollywooders?

(((@@ — how many of those “vegetables” wrote books on parenting, and are parents to two talentless losers?)))

Sarandon, Robbins, Kusack and Penn have an abundance of talent but I’m not too impressed with their intellect. Sarandon, by far is the most intelligent of the bunch.

Christian Hoempler, the second platoon leader for Troop C. “They led us right to them, but as we approached, they ran.” The two men were detained and later identified as high-value individuals – numbers three and five – on the 3rd Squadron’s most wanted list.}}}}

{{{{Coalition forces detained 21 suspects today during operations targeting al-Qaeda in central and northern Iraq. In Kirkuk, Coalition forces captured two wanted individuals believed to be involved in improvised explosive device attacks against Coalition forces…Nearby, Coalition forces captured another wanted individual believed to be an al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader of the network operating in the Kirkuk province. The wanted individual is reportedly associated with numerous senior terrorists and foreign terrorist facilitators operating throughout the region, many of them who were recently killed or captured through successful Coalition forces operations…During a series of operations south of Samarra, Coalition forces detained five suspected terrorists while targeting associates of the al-Qaeda network operating in the Raga village area. The targeted individuals are believed to be associated with al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leaders, to include foreign terrorist facilitators, and have allegedly facilitated their movement into the area….Coalition forces also detained 12 suspected terrorists during operations in Mosul targeting associates of the al-Qaeda in Iraq leadership in the city.}}}}

RW spends alot of time unzipping files and all; add a mouse and you can see how it could all come together so well.

But the important thing is that they’re out there, hacking Rushannity, stealing metaphors, misreading news flashes, wishing they were Connie Chung.

They’re good trolls, not our best trolls, but they’re on the blog, 24/7, reinventing the art of punmaking.

I decree, as grand poobah, that RW/Duhng is the troll of the day!!

Props!

Well, her vast and deep knowledge was easily blown away by poking around on Google for 10 or 20 minutes. Her vast and deep knowledge was in fact entirely wrong. The only thing vast and deep about the Clinton machine is its tendency to lie and toss out vast and deep quantities of BS.

{{{{{And saying “Well, his party is on the ballot” is true, but it’s also irrelevant. The now postponed Pakistani election won’t replace Musharraf and never would have. It’s about parliament and the prime minister job. Hillary didn’t know what she was talking about.}}}}}

{{{{{Hillary Clinton made a series of major mistakes on a major story, mistakes that show that she doesn’t know the story as well as she claims to. She ought to own up to that, get up to speed on the story, and make amends. That’s what normal people do. But that’s never been the Clinton MO. They’ll trot out their army of spinners to lie through their teeth to the American people, just like they did for 8 years when they had power.}}}}}

He allegedly facilitated the training of numerous criminals in guerilla warfare. He is assessed to be an associate of several other senior-level criminal element leaders who are involved in attacks on Coalition forces.}}}}

From San Jose Mercur News:

ATLANTA—A television reporter turned political candidate said he plans to remain on a small scaffold near the top of a tower to focus attention on his long-shot bid to unseat a U.S. senator.

Dale Cardwell was hoisted more than 300 feet up the Corey Tower near downtown Atlanta on Tuesday morning. He said he expects to remain there “for days,” sleeping in an insulated sleeping bag and eating military rations. A Webcam tracks his limited movements. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop into the 20s.

Cardwell, who hopes to unseat Republican Saxby Chambliss, said he thinks the publicity stunt won’t hurt his credibility, but will make people curious about his message: that politicians should pay more attention to the concerns of working people and less to those of wealthy corporate interests.

Cardwell faces DeKalb County chief executive Vernon Jones in the Democratic primary July 15.

What about complaints about CEOs earning so much more than the average worker? Before looking at CEOs, let’s look at another area of huge pay differences. According to Forbes’ Celebrity 100 list, Oprah Winfrey earned $260 million. Even if her makeup person or cameraman earned $100,000, she earns thousands of times what they earn. Among the celebrities earning hundreds or thousands of times more than the people who work with them are: Steven Spielberg ($110 million), Tiger Woods ($100 million), Jay Leno ($32 million) and Dr. Phil ($30 million). According to Forbes, the top 10 celebrities and athletes earned an average of $116 million in 2004 compared to an average of $59 million earned by the top 10 corporate CEOs.

{{{{{When Jack Welch became General Electric’s CEO in 1981, the company was worth about $14 billion. Through hiring and firing, buying and selling decisions, Welch turned the company around and when he retired 20 years later, GE was worth nearly $500 billion. What’s a CEO worth for such an achievement? If Welch was paid a measly one-half of a percent of GE’s increase in value, his total compensation would have come to nearly $2.5 billion, instead of the few hundred million that he actually received.}}}}}

Speaking of Michelle Malkin, the Edwards snobs finally got rid of that ickey neighbor that was infringing on their America.

Last April, Elizabeth Edwards made national news when she criticized the family’s across-the-road neighbor, Monty Johnson, for pulling a gun on trespassers and for not maintaining his “slummy” property.

$1.6 million, site unseen, full asking price, and no haggling. I thought the real estate market had crashed. Might make one wonder if there wasn’t a little Edwards connection in the purchase. Then again it would be hilarious if the guy is unconnected and wants to put a few thousand low cost apartment units in.

{{{{{According to the Dec. 6-9, 2007, poll, 84% of Americans say they are satisfied with the way things are going in their personal life at this time, while 14% are dissatisfied. These results have been fairly stable since Gallup first started tracking Americans’ personal life satisfaction in 1979. The percentage of Americans who say they are satisfied with their personal life has averaged 82% over this period, with a low of 73% in July 1979 and a high of 88% in December 2004. (It is worth noting that in the same Dec. 6-9 survey only 27% of Americans said they were satisfied with the way things are going in the United States at this time, providing a vivid contrast between Americans’ view of things “out there” across the country and their view of their own personal lives.)}}}}

So when people see what’s going on in their own lives 84% are happy, but when they have to rely on what gets reported to them in the press about the rest of the country only 27% think it’s good.

I would love to be able to share all 43 paragraphs of Stratfor’s assessment of the U.S., but I know how PoliFore dislikes long posts. It begins like this:

(((There are those who say that perception is reality. Geopolitics teaches the exact opposite: There is a fundamental reality to national power, and the passing passions of the public have only a transitory effect on things. In order to see the permanent things, it is important to tune out the noise and focus on the reality. That is always hard, but nowhere more so than in the United States, where the noise is incredibly loud, quite insistent, and profoundly contradictory and changeable. Long dissertations can and should be written on the dynamics of public opinion in the United States. For Stratfor, the root of these contradictions is in the dynamism of the United States. You can look at the United States and be awed by its dynamic power, and terrified by it at the same time.))) Conclusion to follow…

January 2, 2008 6:27 PM | Link to this

Cont’d…

(((Presidents and pundits might not fully understand what they are doing or thinking, but in a nation of more than 300 million people, policy is shaped by impersonal forces more than by leaders or public opinion. Explaining how that works is for another time.)))

(((The magnitude of American power can only be seen by stepping back. Then the weaknesses are placed into context and diminish in significance. A net assessment is designed to do that. It is designed to consider the United States “on the whole.” And in considering the United States on the whole, we are struck by two facts: massive power and cultural bipolar disorder. But the essence of geopolitics is that culture follows power; as the United States matures, its cultural bipolarity will subside.)))

(((Some will say that this net assessment is an America-centric, chauvinistic evaluation of the United States, making it appear more powerful, more important and more clever than it is. But in our view, this is not an America-centric analysis. Rather, it is the recognition that the world itself is now, and has been since 1992, America-centric. The United States is, in fact, more powerful than it appears, more important to the international system than many appreciate and, if not clever, certainly not as stupid as some would think. It is not as powerful as some fantasize. Iraq has proved that. It is not nearly as weak as some would believe. Iraq has proved that as well.)))

(((The United States is a powerful, complex and in many ways tortured society. But it is the only global power — and, as such, it is the nation all others must reckon with.)))
