Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day.
As they walked, they come across a sign: "Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world."  "I am entering!" said Snow White. After half an hour she comes out and
they ask her, "Well, how'd ya do?"   "First Place!" said Snow White.
They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest man in the world."
"I'm entering," says Superman. After half an hour, he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?"  "First Place," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"
They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?" Pinocchio enters.After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes.  "What happened?" they asked.  "Who the hell is this Nancy Pelosi?" asked Pinocchio.

What more can I add?  Pelosi has outdone herself.  The Democrats cannot stand their own prosperity.  Obama makes a rookie mistake by elevating Cheney to his level and then getting schooled by the senior (ie experienced) Mr. Cheney.  Reid is going to lose his seat in Nevada.  The once promised powerhouse is fracturing as it turns to bickering and political infighting.  Ahhh....American politics has been restored.

Great article in WSJ a couple of days ago comparing Obama's policies to the South Park episode "Underpants Gnomes."  The gnomes steal underpants and then sell them for a profit in the episode and the execute their famous strategy.

Phase 1 - steal underpants
Phase 2 - ?
Phase 3 - Make profit!

What does this have to do with Obama?  Simple...

Problem:  Iran

Phase 1 - talk to them
Phase 2 - ?
Phase 3 - World peace!


Problem: Global warming

Phase 1 - Introduce the green initiative
Phase 2 - Repeal the first and second laws of thermodynamics
Phase 3 - Carbon neutrality

Problem:  Gitmo and torture

Phase 1 - Announce closure of Gitmo
Phase 2 - (Ignore everything else)
Phase 3 - Close Gitmo

Hilarious.  Absolutely hilarious.  And true.  You see folks, this is what we stick in the mud conservatives were getting at when we called Obama out for being a junior, inexperienced Senator and statesman.  Great idea, no substance, no plan results in irrelevance.

Enjoy your day, weekand month. 

Amanda was a tall beautiful woman. She was young, athletic, terribly funny, charismatic and never wanting for friends. "Strangers were just friends she had not yet met," she liked to say. She could always see the best in people and gave everyone the benefit of the doubt when they were mean and nasty. "Perhaps they are just having a bad day," she would say. She always saw the silver lining and projected that to everyone around her. Of course her detractors thought she was inexperienced and naive. These had earned their pessimism no doubt the old fashioned way, taking it on the chin everyday in the real world. They admired Amanda and wished her well as she battled the negative in the daily world on eperson at a time.

Amanda met a new girl at work named Irina. She too was young, athletic, and beautiful. She was charistmatic to her small group of friends but she did not like Amanda at all. They simply had differing viewpoints on everything and Irina was heard to use words like "hate" and "get rid of" in her verbal attacks on Amanda. These attacks were right to her face or whenever she had an audience. Amanda's friends were in shock and tried to come to Amanda's defense but Irina focused her attacks only on Amanda.

Amanda had taken some courses in conflict managment so she thought she would use the techniques to find common ground with Irina and hopefully become friends with her or at the very least, to stop the terrible attacks. Her friends cautioned Amanda against this course, reminding her of Irina's visceral hatred toward her. They were concerned about how the attempt could turn confrontational. Amanda ignored them and pointed to the silver lining of solving the problem and becoming friends.

At the local watering hole after work, Amanda approached Irina and extended a hand in friendship. Irina did not take it. Amanda asked Irina what it was that made her dislike Amanda so much. Irina spat back, "Because of who your friends are and how you support them hurts me and my friends!" Amanda did not back away. She lowered her voice and asked for more specifics. Irina took to name calling and threatening Amanda with violence. Amanda extended her hand again only to be slapped in the process and further insulted. Amanda was shocked and finally moved away.

On the way back to her friends she was stopped by the barkeep, an old fella from Texas named George, who had heard the exchange with Irina. He laughed and said, "Watch that one Amanda, she is an evil witch.

"No, I refuse to believe that," she said. "There is good in everyone."

Her friend Izzy, joined Amanda at the bar and overheard the conversation with George. Izzy said, "Damn you sure are naive Amanda. You just can't reason with Irina. Look, I know how to deal with evil like her. We just have to go over there and kick her butt right there in front of her friends. And if you don't I will. It is the only way to get through to her."

Amanda just sat there sulking feeling like a fool for having been so naive to think she could make friends with a bitter illogical enemy.

Putting her rose colored glasses back on she thought maybe she could make friends with her other bitter rival Kora.

Again Izzy chimed in, "Amanda, do you realize how big a fool you are? And how weak Irina and Kora think you are? You need to take off those rose colored glasses and live in the real world where not everyone is nice and happy to be your friend."

Amanda said, "Maybe if I just go apologize one more time for whatever I did wrong."

Izzy cut her off, "I 'm going to go kick both of their backsides and then you can apologize for me, how's that?"
