Lakers 83-Celtics 79: THAT's American!












By John W. Lillpop

On an otherwise dreary day in the world of sports, the Los Angeles Lakers nipped the Boston Celtics by a score of 83-79 to claim the NBA basketball title for the second year in a row.

Fans all over the world were treated to 60 action-packed minutes of in-your-face, rough and tumble basketball at it’s best, where the athletes actually scored—and when you get down to it, isn’t that the objective of all sports?

Prancing up and down a grassy field without actually scoring a goal is sort of like kissing your spinster aunt: Why bother?

A grand total of 162 points were scored as the east versus west drama gave fans plenty to cheer about, made all the more exciting as the outcome of the game remained uncertain until the last 7.5 seconds.

Meanwhile for those who consider scoring of any sort to be a distraction, World Cup soccer provided another exhilarating day of zeros and near zeros!

Serbia stunned Germany 1-0.

Mexico upset France 2-0.

As Joe Biden might say, “BFD!”

Other bits and pieces about the basketball championship:

Although Los Angeles and Boston fans are insanely fanatical about their teams and folks in Los Angeles got a bit rowdy after the game, no one was trampled to death, no government was taken over by a military coup because the local five lost.

And best of all, Los Angeles was not burdened with tens of thousands of drunken “vuvuzela” players making life miserable for spectators, players, the press, and all other living organisms within 100 miles.

Loud, screaming fans, yes. Vuvuzelas, no!

Still, there may be a way to salvage soccer by making it more provocative, a bit more physical as it were.

For example, I might be tempted to tune in to watch North Korea and South Korea do battle. Might be persuaded to do the same with a match between Iran and Israel!

But Mexico and France? Or Serbia and Germany?

Don't be silly!

Oil Industry in Ruins: "Mission Accomplished" Banner for Obama?















By John W. Lillpop


This is not to suggest that any credible evidence has surfaced which would cause one to conclude that President Obama actually conspired to bankrupt BP and the oil industry.

But,it is curious, is it not, that nearly 50 days lapsed before the president really focused on the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history?

This response time from the man who dropped everything and jetted off to Copenhagen just to pitch Chicago as host to the 2016 Olympics, a pitch that ultimately failed.

Indeed, when it came to the possibility of being seen as a conquering hero just for showing up and giving a speech, there was no hesitation, no delay, no dithering.

Americans must be suspicious and wary of any candidate who proposes to use the power of government to “bankrupt” private enterprise.

Candidate Obama did exactly that during his campaign for the presidency. As reported at reference 1, in part, Obama said the following in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in January of 2008.

Obama’s words:

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.

“That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

“The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them.”


Everyone knows that liberals loath the oil industry and would do damn near anything to destroy oil as an energy option in America.

How much of a leap, then, is it to wonder if Obama’s lame performance on the Gulf oil crisis was programmed incompetence, orchestrated to ruin an industry that the left hates?

The burning question: Does the bankrupting of BP and big oil earn Obama a “Mission Accomplished”? banner from the left?

We Need Direct Talks With al-Zawahri, Mr. President-Elect?














By John W. Lillpop


This time, Islamofascists have just gone too far. It was bad enough when Al-Quaeda knocked down the Twin Towers and crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11.

But Osama bin Laden's right hand terrorist, Ayman al Zawahiri, went over the edge with a racially insensitive assault on President-elect Barack Obama in which al-Zawahri called the president-elect a "house Negro," along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. *

House Negro? Good heavens, that level of toxic vitriol has not been used since the last Republican fund raising campaign letter was issued in October.

Before that, one must go all the way back to March, 2008, and Bill Clinton's "fairy tale" assault on Obama's manhood and political viability prior to the South Carolina primary.

Just whom the Hades does this al-Zawahri character think he is?
Still, liberals will see the al-Zawahri affront as a perfect opporunity to reinstate "talking" as a major weapon in the American arsenal against terrorism.

Whereas George W. Bush would sent in the U.S. Marines and a few "nuklear" bombers to give al-Zawahri a much needed attitude adjustment, President-elect Obama will most likely invite the excitable Egyptian to a summit at Camp David where the issues can be discussed calmly and sanely.

With no pre-conditions, of course.

Better still, being the shrewd politician that he is, Obama may elect to send his new Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, to Pakistan to meet face-to-face with the brutal terrorist.

Same rules, no pre-conditions,

Hillary would be perfect for the assignment because of her vast experience in bobbing and weaving around enemy sniper fire. Her selfless courage and willingness to pay whatever price necessary to help America could pay huge dividends.

And should an unforeseeable calamity should befall HRC in some God-forsaken cave in remote Pakistan, President-elect Obama would then be free to find another Secretary of State, one without grand designs on the Oval Office!

That would be, how you say, a Win-win, Mr. Obama?

Sneaking a Peek at Hillary's Diary for Election Eve







Satire By John W. Lillpop

No one can know for sure, but it sure is interesting to speculate about what might be going through Hillary Clinton's mind on election eve.

Is she thinking suicide? Mass murder? Acceptance? Forgiveness?

A look into Hill's diary might reveal something like this:

"Dear Diary:

Would you believe it? That inexperienced, terrorist coddling, black community organizer brat looks like he is going to win the presidency?

The presidency that was my "inevitable" destination and birth right!

I knew instinctively not to trust Howard Dean and that lard ass who sleeps with me when he runs out of interns. They are the block heads who argued that Obama could not possibly win and that 2012 would be mine for the taking!

Damn! I should have held out and forced the issue right through the convention. If nothing else, I would have given that old goat McCain more time to figure out where is his butt is located and make a real challenge at the "Black" Kennedy.

Kennedy, my tush! Camelot was a statesman, a military hero, a man of achievement.

Diary, I knew John Kennedy and Barack Obama is no Jack Kennedy! Not even close.

This kid Obama is a good speaker unless you listen to what in the hell he says. Which is exactly nothing!

But what the hell can he talk about given the fact that he has no experience and has accomplished nothing?

NOTHING, Diary, NOTHING!

So its non-stop drivel about change, change, change.

Then the guy who says he wants change, overlooks me for VP and picks that tired old fool Joe Biden who has been in Washington, D.C., longer than the GD Potomac River!

The only change Biden will bring is a loss of about 50 IQ points in Obama's staff!

Biden is as dumb as baby poop, but thinks he is the smartest person around. Too damn stupid to realize that he is an idiot!

How in the hell did Joe the Plagiarist get into Obama's head? Perhaps Biden sealed the deal when he called BO "Clean and articulate" ?

Then there is the Black Widow of American politics, the unlovely and unlovable Michelle Obama. I just know that this black beach talked Obama into keeping me off the ticket--I just know it!

She knows that I am smarter than Obama and Biden combined. Even with my hands tied behind my back, I could outthink and out pace those two misfits.

Diary, I know the White House! I lived there for eight years, remember?

Hell, I have most of the best White House china and furniture in storage just waiting for this sexist nation to give me the OK to take over the damned Oval Office. I am ready and able, but the sniper fire from this Obama kid is really raining on my parade.

Well, Diary I will sign off now as I need to get up early and work on a strategery for not attending the Obama inauguration or any of the celebration balls--without appearing small and spiteful.

Hell, I am not even sure we will be invited to the swearing in or the balls.

If we are invited , I will weasel out by telling the Obamas that Slick has a sexual disorder that is life threatening in nature and which forces him to stay indoors.

That would be believable, don't ya think?

Bye for now,

HRC"

Force George Bush to Deliver State of Union Before He Skips Town!














Satire By John W. Lillpop

Unprecedented, it would be.

Nevertheless, think about it: Why should John McCain or Barack Obama be forced to stand before the U.S. Congress, the nation, and the world next January to explain the dreadful mess that George W. Bush has created?

After all, giving the 2009 State of the Union message is bound to be a lose-lose proposition for whomever it falls on to deliver said oratory.

On one hand, standing before the world and declaring that the "State of the Union is good," would be farcical, but all too typical of Bush.

On the other hand, telling the truth by saying the "State of the Union is dismal," could cause additional panic and dismay, neither of which will help alleviate the situation.

Since accountability and personal responsibility are making a come back, why not prop the hapless George W. Bush up one last time and let him accept blame for the financial meltdown, rampant home foreclosures, the never ending Iraq war, open borders and out of control illegal immigration, revitalization of Russia and communism there, and China's ascent as a global power?

Moreover, since W is widely recognized as a fanatical baseball fan, let him include a weepy statement of compassion for fans of the Chicago Cubs, poor souls that have been denied a world championship for the 100th consecutive year.

100, and counting.

"Wait until next year," W could plea in a message intended for jilted Cub fans, but which would be equally applicable to anyone with a spiritual or financial stake in America.

To conclude his presidency, at high noon on January 20, W should ride out of town on a blind donkey, symbolic of his vision less incompetence and closeted fondness for the Democrat party.

Once W has moved his blind ass beyond the Washington, D.C. city limits, President McCain or President Obama would get the key to the White House.

America would then begin the long, tortured journey away from the miserable legacy left by the "Worst president in U.S. history."

"Ayers" of His Way Come Back to Haunt Barack Obama













By John W. Lillpop

William Ayers is not the sort of fellow that any patriotic, mainstream American would willingly choose as a friend.

In fact, given the choice, most Americans would not even associate with his type.

From Wikipedia, this profile:

"Ayers became involved in the New Left and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). He rose to national prominence as an SDS leader in 1968 and 1969. As head of an SDS regional group, the "Jesse James Gang", Ayers made decisive contributions to the Weatherman orientation toward militancy. The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Between the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the June 1969 SDS convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as a result of a schism in SDS.

"During that time his infatuation with street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969],' disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001. Ayers had previously become a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant, Wilkerson wrote. Robbins would later be killed while making a bomb. In June 1969, the Weatherman took control of the SDS at its national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary. Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to riot police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot confrontation between labor supporters and the police.

"In 1970 he 'went underground' with several associates after the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which Weatherman member Ted Gold, Ayers' close friend Terry Robbins, and Ayers' girlfriend, Diana Oughton, were killed when a nail bomb (an anti-personnel device) they were assembling exploded. Kathy Boudin and Cathy Wilkerson survived the blast. Ayers was not facing criminal charges at the time, but the federal government later filed charges against him. Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972."

Reading about William Ayers automatically conjures up images of Osama bin Laden and other brutal terrorists intent on destroying America.

Affiliating with such a person is not what one would normally expect to find in the dossier of a serious candidate for the presidency of the United States. Yet that is precisely the case with Barack Obama.

Of course, Obama now denies knowing anything about Ayers' background and claims that he barely knew the terrorist.

However, the Republican Party has documented the Obama-Ayers relationship thoroughly, a document that can be viewed at the link below:

http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=768aa784-72f3-4b43-acb6-c5fe81d901cd

In addition, from the Weekly Standard, this report about CNN's review of the Obama-Ayers relationship:

"CNN's Drew Griffin reports that Obama and Ayers funded niche lefty causes and Jeremiah Wright's church. And a number of sources who attended Obama's coming out party hosted by Ayers in 1995 dispute the Obama camp's portrayal of that meeting:
Obama campaign representative Anita Dunn: A Democratic state senator organizes a meeting of her supporters at the house of another one of her supporters. ... It is the worst kind of inference and the worst kind of politics to say that that says something about Barack Obama....

CNN reporter Drew Griffin: What I can tell you from two people who were actually there is that, number one, former [Democratic] state senator Alice Palmer says she in no way organized this meeting. She was invited and attended it briefly.

Dr. Quentin Young, a retired doctor, told us this indeed was Barack Obama's political coming out party, and it was hosted by Bill Ayers."

http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/10/cnn_actually_reports_on_ayerso_1.asp

As much as Barack Obama and his minions would like to close their eyes and wish William Ayers away, the domestic terrorist is here to stay, and his presence in the life of the man who would be 44th President of the United States must be thoroughly investigated by responsible journalists, and explained by Obama himself.

Why did Obama affiliate with Ayers to begin with, and why did he deliberately lie about that affiliation?

Of course the larger question that the American people are owed a reasonable answer for is:

Why should anyone vote for a presidential candidate whose "coming out party" in politics was hosted by an Osama bin Laden-like terrorist?

Another nagging question: Why have mainstream tigers like Charles Gibson, Katie Couric, and others worked 24/7 to "expose" Governor Palin, while ignoring Barack Obama's frightening affiliation with William Ayers?

Of Keith Olbermann, the VP Debate, and Masturbation



















Satire By John W. Lillpop

Following the VP debate on Thursday, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann shared his astute observations with his viewers (moonlighting pharmacists, and on-call psychiatric nurses) about the opinion piece written by National Review editor Rich Lowry.

Olbermann,former sports caster turned intellectual pundit and water boy for the DNC, said Lowry's article, "read like soft core porn," and concluded, "I don't really care if you sat there last night during the debate and masturbated. But was it really necessary to tell America about it?"

Although lacking in any redeeming social value, the Olbermann drivel made it clear that the failed sportscaster indulges in porn, and,apparently enough of it, to know soft porn from the more pernicious genre, good old fashioned hard porn, a favorite among perverted lefties.

No doubt, Olbermann reads his porn after he runs out of box scores to mull over. Anything to keep the old mind sharp and alert, right Keith?

As to the masturbation jibe, where did that dilly come from? From the deep recesses of a diseased brain, one that finds football highlight films sexually stimulating?

Perhaps Olbermann was merely exposing his own sexual proclivities?

Indeed, did the host of "Countdown" spend last Saturday night alone in a dark room watching a replay of the VP debate while pleasuring himself?

While focusing on the images of the Democrat VP nominee?
