Hussein is back at it again, trying to keep attention focused on his right hand so the American people won't see what he's doing with his left.
Hussein is lauding the fact that he has cut $17 billion from the federal budget. That sounds like a lot of money to us regular folks, but when compared against the giant taxing machine that is the Democratic Party, it's not even chump-change. The cuts amount to one-half of one percent of the total budget: 0.005%. That's the dirty penny in the gutter that no one bothers to pick up. But it's a big enough number to get people's attention. Too bad it pales in comparison to the budget increases Hussein wants.
The Department of Smoke and Mirrors has pulled that penny out of the gutter, spit-shined it, and is making a huge show of dropping it in the collection bucket, all the while punching a whole in the bottom.
Typical Nobama administration: long on style, short on substance.

National Day of Prayer & the Unfaithful
Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer. A day when the whole country should (but doesn't), step back from the grind and give thanks to Our Heavenly Father for the grace he has bestowed upon our unworthy selves.
Ronald Reagan (God Rest His Soul) scheduled a Rose Garden event to mark the day. Bush Sr. had a breakfast for the occasion. Bush Jr. twice invited Christian and Jewish leaders to the East Room of the White House for a short speech and prayers from the participants. All of which showed men who believed in and valued the Judeo-Christian foundation of our country, and knew that it was important to uphold.
Slick Willy had task force leaders schedule "low-key" events. Kind of like the guy who stands up for the Pledge of Allegiance but doesn't recite it.
What is Hussein doing? Jack-shit. Issuing a proclamation. Wow. That really sends a strong message, doesn't it? A strong message to all of the scumbag muslims Hussein kowtows to, letting them know that he has to do something to save face, but isn't really in favor of it.
I'll say it again: Hussein is an anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-American bastard. He is doing everything he can to undermine true faith in God while promoting a vile and ignorant death cult.
One of Hussein's lackeys stated that the prez will: "privately...pray as he does every day". I'm sure he will. Five times while facing Mecca.
Hussein and his buddies will get theirs. Very publicly, I hope.
Ezekiel 25:17 - "I will execute great acts of vengeance on them, punishing them furiously. Thus they shall know that I am the LORD, when I wreak my vengeance on them."

The 5th of May
Today is May 5th here in America. It's known by a different name in a different country where they speak a different language. It's a holiday for them, a celebration of their heritage and culture. All fine and dandy for them.
But I'm reminded of Teddy Roosevelt's words of wisdom: "There is no room in this country for hyphenated-Americans."
I used to make a big deal about my heritage, and where my ancestors came from. But as I've grown older, I've seen the mistake in putting too much stock in that. I'm an American. I always have been, and always will be. And that is what makes me the proudest. Being an American, born and bred.
Multiculturalism has run amok in this country. Many people take more pride in where they're from instead of where they are, and that seems backward to me. If they're so proud of where they're from, why are they here? Don't get me wrong: having pride in your roots is a fine thing. But when the pride of the roots takes over the pride of the tree, the tree's growth becomes stunted, and it never realizes its full potential. There is a reason why people have come, and continue to come, to America, since the nation was founded. It's the Greatest Nation on Earth. But it gets much less respect than it deserves. Many in this country who celebrate Cinco de Mayo are more proud of the Mexican side than the American one. That kind of thinking weakens the fabric of a nation.
So I won't even be a peripheral part of the celebration. People want to join in, that's their right, I suppose. But don't try to bring that party to my house.

Hardly a Surprise
I'm back, after a long weekend of youth sports. Building Character and Class, in exactly the same way Hussein didn't when he was a child. I bet my daughter could strike him out.
So I'm flipping through the paper this morning, while eating my oatmeal and raisin toast, which I had only because my kids ate the rest of the mini chocolate donuts. I come across the lead article for the Chicago Tribune's "Live!" section, which is about zombies. I'm disappointed in two ways.
First, with a lead article like that, I think it would have been much more clever, just for today, to rename the section "Dead!". But, being clever, that would have confused a lot of people, so maybe they were just playing it safe.
The article itself is nothing big: it just talks about the growing popularity of all things Zombie. Zombie books, zombie movies, zombie bowling parties, zombie parades...the "zombie zeitgeist". The article dubs this year as the Year of the Zombies.
Well, considering the marxist bastard we have in the Oval Office, that's hardly surprising. An anti-American muslim gets elected, and it's news that there's a surge of mindless corpses taking to the streets? Not really; they're probably just ACORN shills still looking for the brains they were promised in exchange for their votes.
But that's not the second disappointing thing about the article. Let's face it, Hussein disappoints on an exponentially larger scale, so we can put that aside for the moment. The second thing, the more disturbing thing about the article, is that nowhere does it mention the Zombie drink...no picture, no recipe, nothing. I'm choosing to interpret this as another example of the pussification of America. Oh, the article mentions pub crawls, but BFD. Any self-respecting drunk should have the dignity to at least get on his feet and stumble to the next bar. A timeless, classic drink, tailor made for this "zeitgeist", goes unrequited. How boorish. How pathetic. How totally off the mark. How...Nobama-ish.
And hey, think about this...
O-B-A-M-A.............Z-O-M-B-I-E.............
those words are eerily similar, wouldn't you say?
For the record, here's how to make a Zombie:
1 oz. light rum
1/2 oz. Creme de Almond
1 1/2 oz. Sweet and Sour
1/2 oz. triple sec
1 1/2 oz. orange juice
1/2 oz. 151 proof rum
Shake all ingredients except 151 rum together with ice. Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Float 151 rum on top. Add cherry if desired.
