No, he was not bribed, nor was he threatened. His point is simple: Congress has the right to tax and spend. It is his (Robert's) belief that the entire bill (ACA) should be challenged Constitutionally. Not just one aspect of it. That wasn't before the Court. It as too narrow an issue (tax or fine) and there are plenty of cases where the difference between a tax and a fine are blurred. Stay with him. He will redeem himself on the exchanges issue -- which will effectively kill the ACA.

You have to love it. So the bullshit artist bloviates as usual and the real leadership in Washington, the New Congress, is simply going to ignore him and his crap. Even Democrat Bob Menendez has turned on The Anointed One on the Iran sanctions issue that the ShoeShine Boy said he would veto. LOL Without Democrat support, his veto will not be sustained. Sorry Charlie. What's even better is the fact that the New Congress has invited Benjamin Netanyahu, the PM of Israel, to address a joint session of Congress. They never even told His Holiness about it, nor the Lurch down at the State Department at Foggy Bottom. They simply made the invitation and BeeBee will Be here to argue before Congress in support of sanctions against Iran's nuclear weapons program. Thus, 0bama has now turned himself into a joke.... something his wife discovered years ago.

Or, perhaps more accurately, "Newly Documented Democrats"

Easy on John Roberts. Yes, we all have hurt feelings over that Tax versus Mandate fiasco. Get over it. If he comes down on 0bama's side in the state exchanges versus federal exchanges subsidies, we'll revisit his value. But as for now, it could be a lot worse. As for the founding fathers: Yup. Well said. As I have opined before, the inevitable war between the Madison and Jefferson perspectives is swinging dangerously far to the Jeffersonian side. But some fresh blood on the Court can return some of the Madison wisdom. It takes time.

No. Not only is that not something to say, were it to happen, it would assure at least 8 more years of DemoCrap rule. 0bama is the best thing that ever happened to the GOP. He is unifying, energizing, and his programs have resulted in 82 fewer Democrats in the chamber last night than with he gave his first SOTU address six years ago. He's doing fine. Send him dozens of bipartisan bills for him to veto and that will be the last we see of Democrat presidents for at least two, maybe three cycles. When your opponent is digging his grave, why take away his shovel?

"And let's close the loopholes that lead to inequality by allowing the top one percent to avoid paying taxes on their accumulated wealth." Very odd. He must know the difference between passive income (capital gains) on one hand, and wealth (assets) on the other. Maybe he really was tipping his hand. Remember this:

Well, invest and investment ran a good race, but fair (fairness, fair share, fair shot, etc.) won the race going away. Depending on your count, it appears that we got a mere three (3) invest/investment repitions and a whopping eight or nine fairnesses. Lots of proposals, but he decided not to mention how he is going to pay for all the freebies he's planning to distribute to the fairthull. He said he will send a budget over that will reflect how he will do that (capital gains tax, death tax, etc.) He did make one slip, however, which showed where his mind is going: "And let's close the loopholes that lead to inequality by allowing the top one percent to avoid paying taxes on their accumulated wealth." Our Constitution allows the government to tax our income but not our assets. That is what is commonly referred to as "Communism." Did anybody else hear him say that?

Yeah, I addressed that earlier. We no longer educate our students, we indoctrinate them into (1) a fairness obsession; and (2) a personality cult deifying one left wing ass after another. They're all perfect, don't you see. Who is the next to be deified by the Democrats? The bug-eyed mental case or the squaw? Anyway, this evening, if you are keeping count, my guess is that the word(s) "invest" and "Investing" etc. will be repeated at least a dozen times.

All joking aside, because he wants to raise taxes on everybody, the most frequent word / phrase, will be Invest / Investing. But the other options were fun. Fair, a few, Let me be clear, maybe once. Nice things are so predictable. But if you are serious about watching what terms are used by which presidents in their SOTU addresses, this is a fun link: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2015/01/the-language-of-the-state-of-the-union/384575/

We are now just minutes away from first contest of the afternoon. Lining up in the pole position is “Extraordinary” which received zero pari-mutuel wagering, nor did “invest/investing” starting out of gate 5. All of the imaginary wagering was equally divided between “Fair / fair share,” “Make no mistake,” and “Let me be clear.” The flag is UP, and remember to hold all tickets until the results have become official.

Hey. Squirrel. You forgot the number one, most popular, insistent and omnipresent Leftist fallacy and manipulation device of all: Post hoc ergo propter hoc "Since I have been in office, just a we promised, the ice caps have begun to grow again. Today, they are more than twice the size they were when we came into office. But there is so much more to do! [pause for applause]" But he is not to blame, in reality. He is a stupid puppet, an affirmative action college, university, and law school putz. Notice that they always say that he was "president of law review" at Harvard Law. That's like being the President of the Soviet Union or Iran. The person in charge at law review is the Editor, not the president. No, the villain here is the American system that permits people to vote who have no skin in the game. The basic idea was for land-owning tax-paying men to vote on behalf of their families in state elections and those state bodies would meet and elect a president. Not no moe Jackson. Now even the illegal aliens line up to vote. "Lets see, should I vote for or against a bunch of free stuff? Let me think. Hmmm. I guess that's a yes!" Why not? You don't pay any taxes, you own nothing, you have no job, you are a mushroom living off the body politic so hell yes, you vote for free stuff. That makes you an asshole. How do we spell asshole? D e m o c r a t "Democracy means everybody gets to vote!" Cool, sez me. I vote for $1.00 gasoline at every pump.... by law. "Oh no, Bunkie, that won't work. It costs more than that to made the stuff and what about all them there taxes and such?" "You're mistaken, Muffin! Just make it the law and they will have to comply or go th jail. Think how great it will be to fill up for under twenty bucks, Muff!" "Yeah. But what if they go out of business? Then what, Buckaroo?" "Are you some kind of Republican Faux News lying cunt with all those racist facts or what? All you care about is the 1% people, Muffin. But it's not your fault; your M&P are rich and you suffered from White Privilege. Poor Muffin. You need reparations." The ShoeShine Box has never really been America's president. He's merely a placeholder until a real American steps up to fix the mess he's made." No, the culprit are all the post-racial fucktards who wanted to feel good about themselves by voting for some clown nobody has ever heard of. Saul Alinsky was the organ grinder and Barry Sortero was the monkey with his little hand out. American had to get over that white black thing. Okay. Done. Now are they looking to place the same game with the bug-eyed bitch? Gee, maybe if Hillary gets elected, she and Bill can send the B2B's back over Serbia and kill civilized Europeans to impress the Muzzie Monkeys again. That's what you get when you have an electorate who majored in Feelings.

Another version of the Pizzicarella. Oh, my Pizzicarella, the way you walk, na nee na na, the way you walk looks like a dance. My love, what would you have me do? At fifteen you made me crazy. At fifteen you made me crazy, you made me forget my own parents. I was struck from the first moment I saw you. I made a gesture so that you would notice me. Oh, my Pizzicarella, the way you walk, na nee na na, the way you walk looks like a dance. Oh well. Something like that. Good enough for folk music.

For this one, it's best if the volume is turned way up. Makes it more... I don't know... authentic sounding.

The downside of playing this game is that you actually have to pay attention to what that fellow has to say tomorrow and keep score. I suppose one could download the text of the speech after it's over and then do a word-search to identify the winning phrase, so one should vote right away -- before the speech -- so you can root for your chosen chunk of crap oozing from The ShoeShine Boy. Go for it. Voting will be closed at the start of the speech. Personally, I was going to go with "Extraordinary" with a bonus guess at Ten Times during the speech. But I think that I'll change my selection once I post the poll. Vote NOW !!!!

Okay. Bedtime. Nite.

These are two different tracks from the same album.

Tomorrow is a holiday of sorts for some people here in the good old USA. I've decided to celebrate by sleeping in and then writing a pilot for a new TV comedy show. It's going to star a retired doctor who is concerned about young children eating dog shit in the pet exercise area at the local city park and thereby catching worms and other unpleasant things. The working title is Dookie Hazard, M.D. but that is subject to studio adjustment, of course. Opening credits theme:

Tonight, I had recorded a string of "Intervention" episodes. I started wheezing like an old drunk from laughing so hard. For those of you who have not seen this dumb dookie show, it's faux reality bullshit where obviously nuts people are addicted to something or other and after whining for 3/4 of the time slot, the whole family gangs up on them in some cheap rented conference room at the Sheraton or someplace like that. In exchange for their public debasement, they are given (by the shows' producers) a free trip to some dry-out joint in Florida or out in the Mojave someplace. Everybody has to cry at least once during the taping. It's 100% humorless but I'm sure there are a lot of laughs during each show's production. Intervention is almost as good as "My Strange Addiction" or something like that. I like these addition shows because they are all so self-absorbed and play into every conceivable stereotype Mr. and Mrs. Polyester Plaid have about like on the edge. My favorite "addiction" episode was about a girl who inhaled the contents of those compressed air Dust-Off cans. Can after can, all day long. But the funny part is that you could see that this bitch was nuts from the jump, with or without the Dust-Off. Here, this is what I mean. Now that's quality entertainment. Hahahahaha.
