*BREAKING NEWS* Stand-off at Kuckoo Korral Update (..gag…)

[sigh..] O, here we go again, folks.  The Congressional stand-off.  Just like all the other stand-offs.  We fools need to think Congress is at odds with each other, or with Prez-O, in order for us to think they’re actually at odds with each other..  our so-called two-party farce force..  so us little people will think [...]

Exquisite

The Daily Caller‘s Mike Riggs offers up the most exquisite quote of the day.

Suck-Up or Sucker? Bill Maher: “I don’t have to apologize, do I, for not wanting the Western world taken over by Islam?”

Yes, Bill, you do.  If you want to keep a cool head about it. Bill Maher Afraid Mohammeds, Islam Taking Over Western World.*  And all this time *tricksy titters* I thought Maher was a Liberal!  Imagine that.  When did he become a crazy, far-right, Tea Party nutjob?

About that Prez Obama ‘Keys to the Car’ analogy being brandished around town..

Remind Prez Obama that he’s now in the driver’s seat, but as passengers of this great nation, we citizens have gone from the back seat into the trunk, gagged and bound, headed towards Point-of-No-Return.  No exit.

President Obama in political death knell? Read Mark Halperin’s TIME article..

Mark Halperin,editor-at-large and senior political analyst for TIME, has delivered, in my opinion, a considerable blow to Prez-O’s tenure so far; “..most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusions: the White House is over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, [...]

Premium on Faith – Discount on Fact (and truth)

Well, there it is.  A succinct slogan regarding the present American mess; i.e. US indirectly paying Warlords in Afghanistan for Supply Passage. I wish I could take credit for such bon mots, but alas, PopUpCommontater is not that savvy or that smart.  I wish I could provide the name of the man who said these [...]

Something’s fishy about the delay in recovery of oil-spilling scenario

One really ought to question the motives behind the Coast Guard stopping the crude-sucking barges from cleaning up the oil spill.  Apparently, Louisianna Gov. Bobby Jindal has been fighting to get the barges to vacuum the crude oil from his state’s oil-soaked waters.  These barges had been sucking up 1000′s of gallons of oil as [...]
