SH>It's been a good week in politics (and a hearty hello to you DUmpster
SH>divers):

SH>1.  You just thought enemies lists disappeared with Tricky Dick.
SH>Well, they are back full force as Obama and the ballerina who serves
SH>as his chief of staff paint Rush Limbaugh as Public Enemy Numero Uno
SH>(whatever happened to Osama bin Laden and Bernie Maddof?).  Like the
SH>lemmings and intellectual lightweights they are, all Obama's
SH>supporters can muster up to talk about these days is Rush - just
SH>another voice in the market place of ideas that liberals are so
SH>frightened of.  And notice what the lemmings talk about - his weight,
SH>the way he dresses and his past addiction to pain killers - anything
SH>but his ideas.  Howard Kurtz is reporting that since Emmanuel/Obama
SH>have declared a dunderheaded war on Rush, his ratings have doubled.  
If 
SH>this ratings surge lasts, Limbaugh will soon be pulling down $170,000
SH>per broadcast.

SH>2.  English Prime Minister Gordon Brown pays a visit to the US and is
SH>snubbed by the Obamas.  Brown brings Obama a pen holder made from
SH>wood of the anti-slave ship HMS Gannet, sister ship of the HMS
SH>Resolute whose wood was used to make the Oval Office desk.  Obama
SH>gives Brown 25 movies.  A hastily thrown together joint press
SH>conference takes place not in the East Room as is traditional but in
SH>the Oval Office.  England is our most trusted and longest standing
SH>ally.  For now.

SH>3.  Secretary of State Mrs. Cigar Rodham Willy pledges almost a
SH>billion to nation build in Gaza after Hamas took a pounding there at
SH>the hands of the IDF.  Almost certainly, Hamas will get its hands on
SH>this money and buy weapons with it, which will further escalate
SH>violence in the Middle East. Israel is our most trusted ally in the
SH>Middle East.  For now.

SH>4.  Commentators both left and right are commenting on Obama's
SH>apparent addiction to his teleprompter.  At speaking events both big
SH>and small, White House staff arrive early to make sure the boss's
SH>prompter is set up and working.  The effect of the prompter is that
SH>Obama rarely makes eye contact with either the people in attendance
SH>at these events nor the people watching on television.  Watch him and
SH>notice that his eyes move constantly left and right and very rarely
SH>look forward; eye contact, which is key to establishing trust, is
SH>rare to nonexistant.  Another effect of the the prompter is that when
SH>it breaks, Obama's soaring oratory begins to disintegrate into
SH>cringe-inducing babble (recall his embarassing, no-prompter attempt
SH>at discussing ashtma during the campaign).  Is our generation's
SH>greatest orator nothing more than our nation's most famous reader?

SH>5.  On the Larry King show, Liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller
SH>accused Rush Limbaugh of treason and wondered aloud if he should be
SH>put to death for it.  Neither Larry King nor Arianna Huffington gave
SH>even the slighest reaction to this bizarre suggestion.  Since 2003,
SH>many liberals - not all of course, but many, including the
SH>kitty-loving Archie - celebrated our every defeat and mistake on the
SH>battlefield.  They post the American body count with great relish.
SH>They call Guantanamo Bay Auschwitz.  They celebrate the death of
SH>political voices on 911.  But I don't remember Republicans (and some
SH>democrats) doing much more than condemning these comments. Visit the
SH>DUmp and read the weird calls for violent retribution against 
Republican
SH>s. More than once, I have read that I should be publicly ridiculed,
SH>sent to prison or kicked out in the street and shot behind the ear.
SH>This dangerous sentiment is now moving into the mainstream.

SH>6.  For those of us who still place some value on our
SH>Constitution...Article I Section 9 prohibits anyone holding office in
SH>the US from accepting a title of nobility from any foreign government
SH>or monarch.  How does this prohibition affect Ted Kennedy, who was
SH>just awarded knighthood by Queen Elizabeth?

Nice job.  We also had the Ward Churchill and Bill Randy Ayers anti-
American show out in Boulder, Colorado yesterday.  These clowns won't go 
away.
