Comment on 3 Obama Successes You Probably Haven’t Heard About by Tbilisi

Doctor,

Thank you for sticking it to the naysayers. Now, I don’t want Obama to start getting a big head, but let’s not forget his success at criminalizing people who advise terrorist groups about how and why they should give up violence:

I salute this post! I stand on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Hypocrisy, wearing my flight suit and a gigantic Pepsodent grin, out-glaring the Cheshire Cat and causing all on deck to squint… and I salute this post!

signed,

Barack Hussein Obama, 44th US President

Comment on Why Can’t Americans Make Good Spy Movies? by porky

porky — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 08:23:39 +0000

when you say “americans cant make good spy movies” you are seriously mistaken…. For one, Salt is probably the worst excuse for a movie ever made so of course its not going to be a good spy movie. And if even consider salt to be review worthy, you have very shallow taste in film. Watch some of these before you say that americans make bad spy movies…

“Violante Placido plays Clara wonderfully. Of course, she’s required to spend 35-40% of her screen time topless.”

Burying the lede — when’s the next showing?

I’m missing something here. Why and how could a Clooney movie be worth 1. Notice 2. Attention 3. Review? Sheesh.

Perhaps Cantor or someone will offer the obvious solution, rolling back the marginal tax rates on diverted American aid. Most likely Glassman or Fund is dictating the academic rationale as we type, sipping a Corona wearing too little sunscreen poolside, thinking their leering at decades younger women subtle.
