Obama should inseminate every fertile woman in the USA, and of course Canada, so that we can ensure that the future is secure.

OMG! Dennis Miller, the energetic, kick-ass, always-something-smart-to-say, sassy, rabble rouser seems subdued and depressed.

No wonder.

It doesn't seem to matter how incompetent, dishonest, or bungling Obama is, he's getting a pass from a lot of folks, the result of lowered expectations.

Like, what would you expect from the first affirmative-action POTUS?

Nothin' it seems.

I've always liked Dennis, but I think he's too smart for the average Joe. I completely agree with his take on Clinton - imagine if some Republican corporate CEO was getting fellatio from a young intern in his office. Can you imagine the outrage at the Daily Kos or HuffPost, or any other lefty blog? They'd be calling for him to be fired at the least, and they'd probably want a jail term for him too. But slick Willy gets a total pass, when he's clearly a serial sexual predator.

As for Will Smith - I understand he's fixing things by going out on manicured green places and waving his magic wands about. It's workin' real good.

When Miller gets really worried, I get worried...

Miller is really wonderful. I didn't find him depressed --just bewildered like the rest of us. But still cheerful. Interesting his mention of Michele Bachman, who I find to be very HOT.

I don't recall seeing anything here about America's First Black President's (TM) defense of the recently deceased senator Byrd and his white sheet (trying to get past the filter here) days.

According to Clinton they were "fleeting" associations, and anyway, he was a poor Country boy who was "just trying to get elected".

You want proof positive of Bubba's inner psychopath? There it is in 5 words.

Hey Kevin, here you go:

Too bad it wasn't current, we could see the hypocrisy explode. Maybe some creative types out there could help...

batb @ 11:55 commented "It doesn't seem to matter how incompetent, dishonest, or bungling Obama is, he's getting a pass from a lot of folks, the result of lowered expectations".

This just shows the extent to which the Marxist ideology has penetrated North America. Thanks to the sixty years of work of the sleepers in the educational system.

Anyone who is a regular to Dennis Miller's program knows that the past few months he has been on a new, very clever narrative essentially mocking and goading the members of the MSM. I think it's an excellent tactic because just coming right out and criticizing Obama will get you nowhere with converting any of the say 40% of Americans who are still apt to vote for him. But by coming at the problem in the way Miller is, essentially pointing out that the MSM won't challenge him NO MATTER WHAT occurs, then you have a chance of reaching all but the most dedicated sycophants.

Incidentally, from a Canadian perspective, isn't this very reminiscent of the decades long love affair between our MSM and the Liberals?

By the way, I heard an economist saying the other day that the U.S. job picture this Fall is expected to be bleak. It'll be most interesting to see how the MSM spins this. They will mind you, but it'll still be interesting!

Frankly though, as I told a friend in Houston the other day, I don't think most Americans have yet felt enough economic pain to come to their senses. Take California for example. That state is so dominated by idiotic Leftist policies yet Democrat candidate for governor, Jerry Brown, is still many percentage points ahead of Meg Whitman. How any sane person can vote in "more of the same failed policies" is beyond me.

I think what people say and what people do, might be two different things.

Obama ran and always runs, on race. He also works by controlling people by trying to make them feel guilty. Racial guilt whether they had a thing to do with slavery or not. Now he's moving into illegal immigration and 'discrimination against illegals because they are hispanic'. Wealth guilt - anyone in America who wants to 'do well' and even does so - is labelled as 'greedy'. Private enterprise guilt - where anyone who thinks they can look after themselves rather than the govt looking after them is labelled as 'isolationist' and selfish.

Foreign affairs? Rejecting Islamic terrorism as real because to do so means, somehow, that you are being 'racist'. And so on...

But people are reacting. CNN is, more and more, criticizing Obama. Of course, there's FOX news and it happens to be the most watched news show despite Obama's attempts to belittle and marginalize it. Print MSM is more and more criticizing him. Above all, they are wondering - what's wrong with him? I don't think that America has ever dealt with a president who was psychologically pathological and, moreover, deeply anti-American. They can't accept that this is the case; that they were hoodwinked.

His polls are down. Not yet far enough but the Democrats are worried. That's why we've seen the latest tactics. Remember, the Obama Gang's tactics are to maintain power not help America.

The Arizona lawsuit- to appeal to hispanic voters.
Health care - to appeal to no-income, low income and blacks.
His new filiation with Israel, which is a sham, but he was losing the pro-Israel vote in America.
And so on.

My feeling is that a LOT of Democrats won't vote in the next election. They are puzzled by Obama and worried but they are kept in check by the ongoing manipulation of them by the WH Gang. So they'll say they are in favour but won't go out and vote.

QOTW: "The buck doesn't stop there any more."

"There" being the Oval Office.

Miller has a very good understanding of politics, ideology and deference to leaders who espouse particular views.

I find his views on the Clinton presidency to be far more insightful than his views on Obama's presidency, though the latter is still unfolding and he has the benefit of hindsight for the former. Miller's recollection of the feminazis absolving Clinton despite his flagrant and incessant womanizing rings very true.

I'm not sure if Miller started to say "inventil-environism" or "infantil-environism" both would perfectly fit his topic and big "O".

"Scamvironist" would also well describe the "15th greatest".

Miller is upset that the MSM is not blaming Obama for his response to the BP oil spill. The problem is that Obama's response is starting to look pretty good - in fact he may come out of this looking very good. MSM is reporting, daily, what's happening in the gulf - it's not assigning blame to Obama - but it is still reporting on it. Obama, or someone (including BP), has done a good job of managing expectations. The public is not expecting any progress until August or September. If all this new skimming stuff, and better Coast Guard blimps to track this stuff and target skimming, and big improvements in BP's ability to capture much more of the escaping oil from the well, is now being put in place (which we are told) AND if the well actually does get capped in the next 10 days or so - which may happen according to reports on the progress of the 2 secondary holes being drilled - then Obama (and even BP) will look like heros simply because they surpassed the public's expectation, not only in capping the well, but in cleaning up the mess.

Katrina is a different situation. Bush does not deserve the blame he got (although he has to be ultimately responsible because it happened on his watch). The only real thing that you can blame him for was the decision to place FEMA under Homeland Security. This may have caused FEMA to refocus efforts to support Homeland Security after 9/11 and de-emphasize natural disasters. In the big report, a year before Katrina, FEMA conducted a sort of mockup 5 hurricane hitting the gulf and New Orleans - they called it Hurricane Pam. It concluded a whole bunch of things and forecast exactly what did happen in NO a year later: 1) the poor communications between local, state, and federal agencies and overlap in responsibilities, 2) the extremely decrepit state of NO levies and flood alleviation - which should have been addressed decades ago, 3) the destruction of wetlands, sand bars, etc. over the past 50 years which removed natural storm barriers, 4) etc. etc. etc.

Robert W. (nice to see you back!): "How any sane person can vote in 'more of the same failed policies' is beyond me."

It's called DENIAL, Robert. These people are in utter denial of the reality of the situation. It's always preferable to come up in the world rather than the other way around: You have a firmer grasp of reality.

North Americans (especially the U.S. of A. variety) have had it so good, have lived with such an embarrassment of riches and choices, that to have to contemplate a pair of only black shoes and brown shoes, compared to a cupboard full of shoes in every colour of the rainbow, is absolutely beyond them. In fact, it's unthinkable.

Then add to this denial very few inner resources, no faith to pull on, no community to help you through the hard times, and all you've got is an unrealistic hope that "things have got to get better; they can't get any worse."

And great will be the fall ... when you build your house on sand.

Yes, welcome back Robert. You called it right when you said "Incidentally, from a Canadian perspective, isn't this very reminiscent of the decades long love affair between our MSM and the Liberals?"

They (MSM) are still at it too. Hopefully Kory's new news channel will help tip the balance.

The Media is the root of all evil.

"Hey, reporters are people too!"
"Oh yeah? You ever eat lunch with one?"

He said what I've been saying since I figured it out about gun control. The stunning MSM silence on the oil spill proves it was never about the environment. Global warming isn't about the environment. Gun control isn't about public safety. Feminazi-ism was never about women, unions aren't about workers, and on and on.

Only now the veil is lifted pretty much across the board, isn't it? All the heart-felt "causes" of the Left are STRAW MEN. The Left's true and I think only core belief is that people are stupid and must be controlled. Central planning and control are their only answer, their only method, their only belief, their only goal. All else is strategy and tactics.

I'm more of a "get out of my face!" kind of guy, so central planning and control is my own special vision of Hell. Anarchy, as bad as that would be, is preferable IMHO.

Thanks for the welcome back, folks. Please know that I was never anti-SDA. I just found myself too wrapped up in politics 24/7 and found I was way too angry.

So nowadays I listen to my subscription to Dennis Miller's show during the week, along with Charles Adler's podcast and John Batchelor's too on iTunes. From there I get a whole lot of good information, plus on here too. Though up until recently I was commenting at all on SDA, just reading the wisdom from you all!

Phantom @11:53 - Global warming isn't about the environment. Gun control isn't about public safety. Feminazi-ism was never about women, unions aren't about workers, and on and on.

Yes, exactly. That's a very nice way to sum it up. Perfect, really. (And the race-ralations industry isn't about doing anything for black people or minorities or what have you either.)

Robert W. says it well. It is too bad more people do not realize this and fall for the scams.

I had the dubious pleasure of being in a union for 5 years and what an eye opener.

Phantom @ 11:53: BINGO!

And, it's all about the Leftists making money by their "redistribution" of our hard-earned dollars to the ne'er do wells who will keep voting them into power: Votes for dollars.

With Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the CPC, there's been a hold put on this agenda, but with all of the brainwashing that's gone on in daycares, schools, universities, the media, it's tenuous because the sheeple really believe that when asked "Who's your daddy"" the answer is "the government!"

Miller has a keen brain behind the laughs.
He's just saying to the public, what we've all known for a good long time.
Like the rest of us he's watching the puppet show counting hypocrites. Born from the toxic caldron's of brass they have made with Marxist ideology. Filled with assorted evils, dressed in the rags Tolerance & Multiculturalism. The self imposed righteous of the age, start to crack under reality.
Its a great play to watch than ponder.

I have a non-partisan, non-political comment. Where do people get off referring to the mess in the Gulf as "the greatest man-made ecological disaster in history"? I am the only one old enough to remember the great North American dustbowl? In both natural and human terms there's no comparison.

In more recent times, we have the virtual disappearance of the Aral Sea between the late 1960s and the 1980s. It's not polluted; it's almost GONE.

The situation in the Gulf is bad enough without hyperbole.

Zog...not to put too fine a point on it, but Dennis Miller did say "in the history OF THE COUNTRY", which I believe is a little less hyperbolic than you suggest. Additionally, I believe the dustbowl was probably not man-made, at least for the most part. Other than picking those two nits, I concur with you that in some quarters there is a tendency to sensationalize stories, usually for a political purpose. Miller's bigger point in that piece though, was the almost total abdication of responsibility by the MSM.

Beyond even the politics of left and right, Miller is just spot on.

Here is an absolutely devastating disaster of epic proportions in the Gulf of Mexico and 70 days on the word is: [stifled yawning] meh.

All you Save-The-Planet types: good luck with engaging humanity on climate change then.

"The Left's true and I think only core belief is that people are stupid and must be controlled."

I agree with what Phantom said except one small point: the fact that "people are stupid and must be controlled" is simply a means to the end that batb mentioned. Your money! The control is just a necessity to pry the wealth from others, and is likely looked at as a fringe benefit as well. In my view the actually root of socialism is envy and sloth. JMO Talk about spitting hairs eh?

Robert W

It's good to hear from you again, but I'd bet RG might be a little miffed that you don't make time for his show; being a contributor and all./sarc

I don't mind whatsoever that there are some opinionated people on TV shows about politics. But when they are present, it's critically important that their biases and allegiances are shown up front.

What bothers me to no end is when a so-called "non-biased journalist" turns out to be anything but pretends otherwise. Their bias most often seeps through with the way they frame the question. Case in point: Look at this interview with Contessa Brewer earlier this year. What's the difference between her and a Democrat PR hack? Nothing.

Indiana H.: I listen to Roy Green's show all the time, even when I was over in Hawaii! I just don't write & call in as much as before, that's all.

Funny ... I was just watching this last night....

John Kelly,

Yes, I realize that Dennis Miller said, "...history of the country" but, because I've read several disertations by others with reference to "the worst manmade ecological disaster worldwide", I took the liberty of using the generalized terminology. My bad.

As far as the dustbowl goes, it was unquestionably man made through "black" cultivation from fenceline to fenceline, burning of stubble, deep plowing etc. When there was a short succession of hot, dry years the result was inevitable. It took ten years to undo the damage with lister plowing perpendicular to the prevailing winds, strip farming, summer fallowing and other techniques suited to the region. In recent years, the introduction of no-till farming has ensured that the disaster of the 1930s will never happen again.

There's a really good book about the post-dustbowl recovery efforts: "Men Against the Desert" by Jim Gray.

The worst man-made ecological disaster ever: communism.

Phantom @11:53 - Global warming isn't about the environment. Gun control isn't about public safety. Feminazi-ism was never about women, unions aren't about workers, and on and on.

Five stars & your own goat to call your own. (O:}
Nice bit of summing up these self evident truths of the left own form of Taqiyya.
