Look at BHO and then pronounce it phonetically.

Bho? Bee haych oh? Boe?

Or is it pronounced more like "Osama bin Saddam-Hitler, Dark Lord of Mount Doom"?

No, it's more like "B-Osama bin Saddam-Hitler, Dark Lord of Mount Doom-O".

You forgot "Islamic Imam".
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Might find myself going to Mass. Guaranteed later today for Satuday Vigil, but who knows what tomorrow brings.


I don't have cable, so I won't be seeing his interviews either. The local television sucks as well. The Digital TV box crap ruined local channels, since I live out in the woods.

Did you know Barack Obama has been interviewed more than GwB and Clinton combined at this point in an administration?

One might say that this is consequence of the times, but I do feel it's over-exposure to some extent, Of all the 5 morning shows, not one is FOX. That's a fairly pointed choice and I'm not too sure it's a wise one.

At some point, answers merely lead to the next question, he comes across as justifying too often where, when mud is thrown, mud sticks anyway. He should, to some extent, cut the interviews, and he also shouldn't pointedly omit a channel that, for better or worse, does represent a large audience that might resent his dismissal of them all.

It even seems from here that people aren't really bothered to hear another outline,

I believe the typical U.S. citizen may watch one episode of Obama Sunday, if any. Is B.O.'s ego so inflated that he believes that anyone other than hard-core constituents and the professional media pundits will watch him more than once on the same day, again, if at all?

Check your local scheduling and fire up the DVR or VHS or whatever, it's going to be a long ride.

How will you celebrate Obama Sunday?


It is NFL Sunday. I don't give a shit about B.O's jive talk or the network news channels.

Honestly, he can't win for trying. He doesn't go out there and pitch and he's not selling his plan hard enough, he goes on a blitz and tries to sell it and he's over-exposed. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. And if that's the case, then it's given the choice between just taking it on the chin or campaigning, which is where he shines, so he might as well go with his strengths.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Not too bad. Town is only 6 miles away. It's annoying at times, but it keeps you in fair shape.

Clearly the Dark Lord wishes for Republicans to be shunned at the workplace during water-cooler chats about one of the showings they didn't see, and as a consequence for them to commit suicide, assuring the democrats' victory in the 2010 elections and also freeing up hundreds of thousands of jobs, causing unemployment to be a non-issue.

I'm not entirely sure if you're seriously suggesting he wants everyone to watch all his appearances. It seems like anyone with an ounce of common sense would know he's trying to increase his potential audience by appearing on different networks, rather than going for some sort of marathon session everyone is required to watch.

Which is just trying to maximize the spread of his subliminal messages and the mind-numbing Gaze of Sauron which turned all those unsuspecting schoolkids into Socialist Muslims of course.
