Israel’s Axis of Evil

Breaking the Obama code

During tonight’s State of the Union address, I finally realized why Barack Obama’s speeches drive me crazy. It’s not what he says (although I disagree with, well, almost everything he says). It’s the way he says them. Tonight, he addressed … Continue reading

Monday morning snarks

It’s the Chicago Way: Obama’s now trying to bribe the middle class. Hell, it worked to get him 60 votes for the Obamacare crap sandwich, why wouldn’t he think it will work on us? (P.S. to Obama: Who’s going to … Continue reading

Friday briefs

I’m not even going to bother pointing out the anti-Israel spin. Really. The whole article blames the failure of the peace process entirely on Israel. It’s not worth parsing. Compare and contrast, Obama version: Let’s take a look at why … Continue reading

The evening political snarks

Obama: The Musical. Yes, really. In Germany, but the songs are in English. And judging by the excerpts, it, uh, sucks. Sure, I may be a bit biased, but really—these are not songs that will leave you humming as you … Continue reading

Sunday snarks

I know you are, but what am I? A spoiled rich Saudi prince calls Israel a spoiled child. Really. Irony is apparently not a part of the Arab world. Priceless: Number of non-Israeli newspapers carrying Israel’s strike on Gaza tunnels: … Continue reading

The War President’s Peace Prize
