  2. I got the Branagh version on DVD.
    also the Gibson and the one this pic was fudged off, the Olivier version.
    my fav Shakespeare play. Hamlet didn’t ‘lose it’ because of his aunt/mother-uncle/father’s incest, he lost it because there was rot and corruption everywhere he looked.
    gee, kinda like politics nowadays.
    some things never change eh Bill? you sure pegged that one.

  4. “The devil hath power
    To assume a pleasing shape.”
    – William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 2.2

  5. Even as I write this comment, Jimmy Carter is rejoicing that he will no longer be called the worst President ever

  6. Every president I can think of held a senior executive position before becoming president, whether it was as state governor, vice-president, senior military officer, high-ranking government official, and so on.
    The only modern exception I can think of is that Kennedy only had the rank of lieutenant in the navy (but was a war hero).

  7. And to complete my comment…
    And of course, Obama, who held no serious managerial post before becoming president.
    Hillary was right. The Presidency is a poor place for on-the-job training.

  9. i reckon he must be using a skin lightener on his face..
    do you see how DARK his legs are compared to his face?
    i notice stuff like this…it just jumps out at me…

  10. ]Fed up with a president “who can’t make his mind up” as Libyan rebels are on the brink of defeat, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is looking to the exits.
    At the tail end of her mission to bolster the Libyan opposition, which has suffered days of losses to Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s forces, Clinton announced that she’s done with Obama after 2012 — even if he wins again.]

  12. Imagine how much fun it would be if the print and TV journalists weren’t such consistently corrupt stupid incompetents. They would be pounding him into the mud. Carving him a new one 31 (24+7).

  13. A dithering Hamlet seems a more apt analogy than any other previous pop psychology theory I’ve seen floated here.

  14. “I am but mad north by north-west. When the wind is southerly, I can tell a hawk from a hand-saw.”

  15. Hillary was right. The Presidency is a poor place for on-the-job training.

    hi rabbit.
    didja hear ms. clinton declared she wasn’t interested in serving in a 2nd BO term?
    whatever could it mean …….

  17. “I only laughed because you said you were Sir Geoffrey’s son. But no matter—’tis a wise child that knows his own father.”
    [1823 Scott Peveril III. x.]

  20. Two terms, or not two terms, that is the question,
    whether to suffer the slings and arrows of
    adult responsibility, or by golfing, avoid them;
    to dream, perchance to sleep through Arab spring,
    while a thousand brave idealists perish,
    ah there’s the rub, the hopey changey dream
    was just illusion, much like Tiger’s goodness,
    and the long awaited global warming.

  21. He’s a narcissist. He wants to play President, not be one. Should have been an actor, like so many who suffer from his particular emotional deformity.
    (The Branagh version is great in that it’s a complete read-through – take my word for it, I sat there with the text and the clicker, pressing pause and rewind every 2 minutes – which is pretty much unheard of for this very long [longest?] play. Also it’s pretty to look at.)
    Sgt. Lejaune – “It is a wise father that knows his own child” – Merchant of Venice, Act 2 Scene 2

  24. “Hamlets, past and present, are as admirable in theory as they are fickle — and often dangerous — in fact.”
    THAT’s how to end an article.POW!!
    We’ve allowed too many people from non-real worlds to hold us in thrall,Obama just the latest pretender.
    It would be comforting to think he’s the last “Hamlet”, but I guess it all depends on how badly people want to be seduced.
    We’ll see in 2012.

  25. Obama’s the logical consequence — and the tragedy — of all of the dumbing down and affirmative action crap that’s elevated non-thinking, non-producing, non-sense, mediocrities and worse to positions of “authority” and power so as not to offend them and the members of their “downtrodden” group.
    ‘Just returned from a trip Stateside where you can cut the torpor with a knife. The malls are almost empty and the people are walking around with their tails between their legs. You can feel the discouragement and the inertia.
    It was eerie and disconcerting. God bless America. The sooner the Obama presidency is past-tense the better.

  27. That photo is funny
    instead Obama need to hold rather than
    skelerton of Hamlet
    to hold
    turky tray holder to hide more heat of turky and a lie in air and also all radicative spreading
    http://www.clipartof.com/details/clipart/7707.html
    Obama need to hold
    turkey tray with cap to
    to send this to Japan
    what I mean:
    radiactive emission in Japan will lead to high
    temperature and can be deadly need to get
    under control
    this radicative rather than escape out of plan is not solution because this can spread in air
    if similar tanker holder like similar like
    turkey tray need to hold turkey warm no go out
    the similar shelf need to cover
    today Japan radioactive energy building
    to prevent more hazardous go out

  30. Hmmmm … when Hamlet got going, he did a lot of
    damage. Starting with Polonius. That’s probably applicable.

  32. I wouldn’t blame Bambi too much. Was it not Bertrand Russell who said that an electorate that elects a stupid man is stupider than he is?
    I think that Americans deserve Obama. They were stupid — really, really stupid — to elect thim. They haven’t learned much in three years.
    Eight years might do the trick.
    However, WE don’t deserve him!

  33. 1) In result:

    all highrise all building and fight or change
    mother nature may cause all earthquick
    How obama can control this radiactive emision is big challenge

    When japan has 10 times more population in smaller than Ontario this is real problems
    Ontario:
    1,076,395 km2
    Total (2010) 13,210,667

    Japan:
    377,944 km2

    as can be result of August 9, 1945 bombing atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in south of Japanm killed 150000 dead which is 15 times more than Japan 2011 Tsunami

    then 1973 nuclear japan plan built

    then location of nuclear and earthquak may related to their activies caused that disaster
    4)
    while 2011 Japan tsunami was near area called Sendai in Japan in North of Japan
    ( The epicenter was 130 kilometers (81 mi) off the east coast of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku near Sendai, with the hypocenter at a depth of 32 km (19.9 mi). ) killed more than 10000 people

  35. UN Wants Attack on Libya!

    A number or Arab governments were still voicing reluctance to back a U.N.-mandated operation in Libya, given frustration over the White House’s handling of the recent democracy surge in the Middle East.
    Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., in particular, felt the U.S. abandoned its long-time ally Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and hadn’t shown enough support for the Bahraini royal family.
    “There is a serious trust deficit right now,” said a senior Arab diplomat. “I don’t see any of the Gulf countries participating in a no-fly zone.”

    Obama would never throw any of his Arab friends under a bus.
    We have the dearest,
    most trusted man ever to lead a nation,
    Why- he even won the Nobel Peace Prize.
    (heh)

  42. This nuclear thing might be worse that we think. Obama says there is nothing to worry about, then bugs off for Rio.

  43. The picture depicts Barry after coming out of his bunker a few years after the US was destroyed.
    Barry had gone golfing in south Carolina and forgot that he had left the nuke launch codes in his basketball shorts…realizing it too late.
    Speaking to the skull:
    “Uh, uh…I think you’ll be my buddy…Just like the Tom Hanks movie with that basketball face…
