Welcome to the Punk Presidency
Robert Gibbs’ attack on CNBC’s Rick Santelli is just the latest example of boorish behavior from Obama and his team.
- Their team rudely snatched the basketball and arrogantly bounced it on the floor, as we wept and learned hate.

Yep. That summarizes it nicely. I was going to go with “All the news from Htrae”, but this is catchier.
If Obama wants to restore his credibility, he better go on vacation NOW. I mean, brush needs to be cleared. Also he should start a war. Nothing would stimulate the economy so much as stopping the dreadful two-war state of peace like a nice three-war state of war.

We Read The Comments So You Don’t Have To:
Punk seems to be what this culture is all about; immature computer gamed skateboarders gangbang garbed uber adolescents strutting and foul mouthed, shouting into their cellphones over the incoherent lyrics of some three chord rock singer blasting their angst throughout shopping malls and restaurants.
And:
many in my generation (boomer) still haven’t departed the 60’s. As an example, the majority of the “trustfunders” who inhabit the coastal enclave near my home are in their 50’s and 60’s. Their wealthy parents pay them to paint silly pictures, play “3-chord” music, write books no one reads, but most of all….not to move back home. These nihilists lounge in their wool “uniforms”, smoke pot, compare worthless college degrees and engage in one-sided political debates. Most have never been gainfully employed, and therefore pay no income taxes. They are advocates for “social justice”, abortion “rights”, saving whales, sodomite “rights”, anything spoken by Al Gore, illegal alien “rights”, unilateral U.S. military disarmament, the palistinians, and their recently crowned lord and savior, Obama. So much for growing up….

See! Alison swallow her tongue! Hear! The choking sound as she does so! Feel! The splatter of brain as she contemplates Santelli ‘pushing back’, reminding her of an old joke regarding sheep and the edge of a cliff!

I just want to know who the POST-punk president is. Will he or she wear Wire t-shirts and have Fall posters all over the place?
Are you saying the next president will be perverted by language?

The 1980s: Ketchup suddenly became a vegetable, despite its not even being food; the President of the United States for most of it was a dithering idiot with a brain that had long since turned into overcooked oatmeal; we all went through a brief period of the Horrible Trifecta — Reagan, Thatcher, and Mulroney; the CRTC had to give the Prime Minister’s chin its own area code; the radio wouldn’t shut up about the British and the Argentinians fighting over some stupid Kleenexes of land in Argentinian waters; Iran-Contra made us all want to puke on Ollie North’s shoes; Neil Bush was perpetrating part of the Savings and Loan scandal; a bunch of mostly Republican but partly Democratic (I’m lookin’ at you, “Think of the Fucking Children” Tipper Fucking Gore!) dipshits in Washington and LA spent a long time trying to ban what little good music there actually was, and late in the decade, my life changed dramatically when my parents’ neighbourhood finally got cable television, electronic (as opposed to electromagnetic) telephone switching, and 911 service…
Yeah, good times.

From his description:
Tom Blumer owns a training and development company based in Mason, Ohio, outside of Cincinnati. He presents personal finance-related workshops and speeches at companies
There are tumbleweeds blowing through those sentences.

Possibly. I believe we will recognize him or her as being the leader of the daydream nation, for he or she will be waiving the pink flag while walking out of the witch trials during the hex education hour, letting us know the lay of the land, my son.

Back around 1979, I wrote:
“Everyone fears the God of the sea;
Ever so strong and mighty is He.
Boons you may beg, he’ll grant any wish;
He’ll dance on his tail for a fish…”
This illustrates the dual nature of Flipper’s godhead. On the one fluke, he’s all-powerful and fearsome. On the other, he’s the clown who lives to amuse. Also, he likes to eat fish.
