It's been a good year in politics.

1.  The media-hyped bullshit called global warming came crashing down a
month ago after researchers discovered email from climate researchers
warning that their data were to be kept secret or destroyed if compromised.
The half wit class in Fido always crowing about ***REAL SCIENCE*** are
either silent or are defensive of these pseudo-researchers, who will not
sumbit their findings to peer review, a hallmark of ***REAL SCIENCE***.  The
mainstream media barely notice.

2.  The mainstrea, media have their worst year ever (except for the WSJ and
Fox News).

a.  The New York Times, print arm of the Obama White House, borrowed $250
million from a Mexican loan shark at usury rates to stay afloat.  The New
York Times sold their building and now lease office space from the new
owners.  The New York Times sold their coroporate jet.  The New York Times
fired more than 100 reporters and editors.  Every big market daily paper in
the US but one lost readers this year with the Chicago Trib going under and
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution falling out of the top 25 papers for the
first time in memory.

b.  The three broadcast primetime news shows notched their lowest ratings
since they started keeping ratings.  The Wall Street Journal is now the
largest circulation daily newspaper in the country, and Fox News has the
ratings of its three nearest competitors combined (O'Reilly continues to
massacre ultra weirdo Olbermann in the ratings).  Charles Krauthammer had
this to say: "With Fox News, Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes discovered a
niche market - half the American people."  Nowhere was the bankruptcy of
mainstream television more apparent than when Harry Smith invited Al Gore to
read his insipid global warming poem on the air.  The prissy Gore with his
sibilated S's, sincere eye contact and melodramatic delivery caused every
man in the country to cringe.  Cringe turned to nausea as Smith went
Brokeback with Gore and gushed over how special it was to him to hear the
poem from Gore himself.

3.  At year's end, Mrs. Cigar Willy and Sarah Palin are the most admired
women in America with Oprah Winfrey coming in third.  In fourth place (with
half the ratings Ms. Palin notched) is Michelle Obama.  I am going to
venture some analysis here; I believe that Americans are sick to death of
the Michelle hagiography that passes for news about the First Lady, the
sickening tongue bath this broad gets from the mainstream.  She is a big,
butt ugly woman with no fashion sense and less grace, wearing $500 designer
sneakers to a food bank, fercrissakes.  The country just told the mainstream
press that their empress has no clothes.

4.  Congressional leadership in this country is a laughable clown posse of
former gay madams, dour lefties, worms and criminals.  Barney Frank, Nancy
Pelosi, Harry Reid and William Jefferson have been disastrous with some
writers predicting a bloodbath rivaling 1994 come November.  Elections in
Virginia and New Jersey (a state Obama visited five time in the effort to
get John Corzine re-elected) may be harbingers of an election day massacre
of democrats.

5.  Barrack Hussein Obama is the most listless disengaged and boring
president of my lifetime.  Gerald Ford was a barrel of laughs compared to
the pompous windbag who fancies himself commander in chief.  After two weeks
in office, Obama declares himself tired of being in the White House and goes
wandering around DC with Michelle in tow.  After his failed climate summit
in Copenhagen, Obama declares himself tired period - this clown has
vacationed, played golf and had date nights more than any president in
American history, and he is tired??  After promising a "timely, targeted and
temporary" stimulus package, this disengaged chief executive punted the
issue to congress who returned a pork laden package that produced a single
year deficit of $1.9 trillion.  After promising a plan to reform American
health care, the disengaged reformer punted the issue to the clown posse in
congress.  What emerged from each house is legislation so confusing and
wordy that nobody has bothered to read it.  This disengaged commander in
chief dithered for four months before answering Gen. McChrystal's request
for more soldiers for his counterinsurgency in Afghanistan (I wonder how
many times he played golf during that four months?)  After a crazed muslim
shot up Fort Hood, Obama ambled onstage and rambled on for several minutes
before he said a word about our 13 dead soldiers in the process wrongly
identifying someone in the crowd as a Medal of Honor winner.  After a crazed
muslim tried to bring down a jet on Christmas day, the duffer in chief
waited three DAYS before he said anything - and then he blamed George W.
Bush - staute of limitations for blaming GW is over.
