That’s Not Funny

As predicted, the late night jokesters are beginning to pick up the elitist refrain:

"Of course, Obama’s supporters got him his usual birthday gift of gold, frankincense and myrrh." –Jay Leno

It seems like between this and “change” Leno, at least, is actually trying to poke fun at him:

"And Barack Obama now says he is open to offshore oil drilling. So, apparently, when he promised change, he was talking about his mind. I guess that’s what that was." –Jay Leno

Funny. This was filmed back in May and yet seems appropriate today:

Obama the Humorless

When I was studying History of Civilization back in college one of the things that I noticed was that leaders of times passed had interesting names.  These names were not ones that they claimed (though one could make the argument that Charlemagne could have picked “Charles the Great”) because of the way the names sometimes made fun of the person they were given to.

Is the Government a Better Parent?

Bill Clinton has done parents all over the United States a favor.  You see, parents everywhere were unable to control their child’s nutrition, especially when it came to what they ate in school.

He saw the need—some kids were buying snacks that were high in fat with their lunch or snack money, and since we know that teaching kids discipline or self control is out of the question, the only way to get them to eat healthier (more healthy?  more healthily?) was to only give them healthy options.

Bad News for a Democrat

Republicans and Democrats in today’s culture have two different “guiding themes” by which they are measured.  The Republicans are known to be the people of smaller government and more self destiny.  The Democrats are the ones with government solutions to problems.

In reality, both of these parties differ only in degrees.  Certainly the Democrats want to have more government than the Republicans, but the Republicans have been catching up—especially as they had almost exclusive power during most of President Bush’s time in office.
