Number Ten:
He's nothing more than a liberal mouthpiece.
Number Nine:
Two words: Not funny.
Number Eight:
He was never funny. His writers were, a long time ago. He's just a bitter aging liberal with sagging ratings and a bad hair piece.
Number Seven:
There's no dignity in a bitter aging liberal trying to pick up on girls fifty years younger than himself.
Number Six:
Why stay up late to listen to liberal claptrap when I can get it on the evening news?
Number Five:
Dave doesn't understand that addressing a crisis is more important than being insulted by him. Going on the evening news is more important than being insulted by you, Dave. Heck, just about anything is more important than being insulted by you.
Number Four:
Dave's offensive liberal bias is as worthy of my time as Michael Moore.
Number Three:
Conan O'brien got the job you couldn't get last time, Dave. Maybe he's better than you.
Number Two:
Because Dave, you are a boob.
And the number one reason I don't watch David Letterman anymore is:
I grew up. Letterman didn't.

The Company That He Keeps, The Content of His Character
Obama has been using the current financial disaster as fodder for his sagging campaign, saying that John McCain has been a part of the problem and will only allow the culture of corruption to continue. He's actually coming frighteningly close to telling us the truth. He's just gotten a few of the names wrong.
Barack Obama comes in second behind Chris Dodd in donations from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson was on Obama's committee to help select a vice president. He also admitted that he received preferential treatment from Countrywide mortgage. Who else got preferential treatment from Countrywide mortgage? Chris Dodd. Now look at another Fannie Mae CEO named Frank Raines. He commited fraud to the tune of $6.3 billion. Why isn't he in jail? Why weren't the hearings done? Good question. Mr Obama doesn't have an answer for that. He should, though. Raines is Obama's adviser on housing policy. And he, like Mister Johnson, walked away with tens of millions of dollars.
In four years, Obama ranks second among donations from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae among all members of congress since 1989. In four years Obama has received more money from Fannie and Freddie than any other member of congress in the past two decades except for Chris Dodd, and Chris Dodd has been in federal office since 1975. Obama's only been in office since 2005. He's second among donations from Lehman Brothers among all members of congress since 1989. The top executives at Lehman Brothers, Ted Janulis and John Ray, are chief fundraisers for Obama. And by the way, one of them was a part of the head of Mortgage Capital at Lehman Brothers.
Mister Obama is pretty good at changing words and facts around to suit his purpose, but the company that he keeps... the people he worships with and studies under and benefit from and employ say a great deal about him. None of it is good.

Where America Lives
I saw something on the evening news that actually didn't make me want to throw an egg at Brian Williams' fake smile. People in Texas actually helping each other out. Not because they were running for office or fullfilling a community service sentence. They were helping each other out because they wanted to. Earlier in the week there were stories about people helping out neighbors who didn't have electricity by stretching extension cords across the street. That is when I'm reminded of what is actually right about this country. Patriotism has nothing to do with paying more taxes or expanding an already bloated and broken government. It has everything to do with actually building up the bedrock of America, which is the community. America doesn't live in the swamp that is Washington DC. It lives in Houston and Galveston and New Orleans and Scranton and San Diego and Juneau and the Bronx. It lives where people work for a living in a community and depend on each other and don't count their assets in voting blocks. America lives in the hearts of people of all races, creeds and colors who live here legally, pay their taxes and do their best to make a comfortable life. America lives in traffic jams and factories and grocery stores and malls and movie theaters. It lives in bus stops and schools and on beaches. America lives where we are. Where we are working and playing and living and struggling honestly. It lived, at one time, in the halls of government where patriots struggled, sometimes with each other, to unite a nation where before only enslaved colonies existed, but it doesn't live there now. It does live on blog sites and talk radio that keep a careful watch on the ivory towers of government that used to represent us. It lives in Wrigley Field, but not the Chicago Machine. It lives in sand-encrusted equipment that volunteer soldiers struggle to maintain in a desert country, just as it lives where people protest against the war. But it doesn't live in the hearts of politicians who think that losing the war would be good for their careers. It lives in classrooms where people argue about creationism versus evolution, but not in people who deny us the right to disagree. It even lives in liberal newscasts where sometimes, after all of the 'if it bleeds it leads' sensationalism and editorializing disguised as reporting, in the last moments of the newscast, almost as if by accident, we get to see a quick shot of real Americans helping each other.

What Obama Knows
This is a topic that one post can't really do justice to, but let's just talk about it a bit.
Ever since the Founding Fathers threw off the shackles of King George, we've understood that government does best when it does the least. There is not a single instance in our history when the government has taken over a job from the public sector and improved on it or even maintained it at the same quality level. Our Founding Fathers understood just how dangerous a government is when it becomes perpetual and self-serving. They feared what we have now, which is a bloated, voracious, and all-powerful giant with no real understanding of or interest in the people from whom its power is supposed to flow. The Constitution is pretty specific with respect to the power that the federal government is entitled to when it talks about 'those powers not specifically granted to the federal government'. That is for a reason. A federal government that can grant itself more and more power as the days and weeks and years go on is a dictatorship in the making. Absolute power does in fact corrupt absolutely. And what does Mister Obama think of this? What is the answer to the ills of our country? He thinks the answer is a bigger, more powerful government. He thinks that public service should be managed by the government, just as he wants to take still more money from businesses that are already struggling (under the guise of 'taxing the rich'), not so that hard-working middle class people can create their own prosperity, but so that the government can have more money to reluctantly hand out to whatever group's votes are coveted on a particular day. It has been stated (by Democratic deity John F Kennedy) that no country has ever taxed itself into prosperity, but they keep trying to sell us the same empty idea. The Soviet Union tried to do that, and someone who knew better ran them into the ground. Thanks Ronnie. But Mister Obama, who has spent more than his share of time studying communism, just doesn't get it. Mister Reagan was a very kind, charitable man (the kind who simplistically clung to guns and religion when he wasn't winning the cold war), would probably very kindly say that it isn't that Mister Obama doesn't know anything, it's just that he knows so much that isn't so. Well, that's probably true. Mister Obama knows that simple people (who are only the backbone of this country when he's trying to get their vote) bitterly cling to guns and religion. He knows that big government has always been the answer to mankind's problems. He knows that we can tax our way to prosperity. And he also knows that the election's already won.

Shooting From the Left
I've been pretty quiet lately, but I've been busy just the same. Aside from working on my fantasy trek project (see http://fantasytrek.blogspot.com for the only "Star Trek: The Experience" you can still Experience... and for free by the way). But I've also been watching all the shooting from the left that somehow just seems to be catching them in the foot. Not an easy thing when the left foot in question is so firmly entrenched in their own mouth.
Mister Obama says that he's going to change things, and that's why we should vote for him. First of all, Mister Obama seems to do much better when there's no voting at all. Either it's him not voting on any issue that might come back to haunt him (regardless of how important it is that someone charged wth representing the people actually take a stand based not on focus groups or snap polling but on conviction and principle), or it's votes not being allowed from Michigan or Florida (until he knows he'll win anyway), or it's votes not even being taken in the Democrat love-fest in Denver (rather than risking some delegates going against the commands of party bosses and 'super delegates'... and more on the subject of super delegates later), and declaring, not electing, the Chosen One's victory by Acclamation. Star Wars fans, remember that the last 'Chosen One' may have started out looking innocent but ended up being Darth Vader. The party that shouted out how much they wanted every vote to be counted suddenly seems to feel otherwise. And there is something else that needs to be considered here. Is it a pure coincidence that Darth Hussein Obama's :) victory speech so closely coincided with the anniversary of one of Martin Luther King Jr's most famous speeches? I don't think so. I think it was decided long ago who was going to be giving a victory speech on that night. I think 'super delegates' were put in place and the 'Acclamation' was planned long before a single primary vote was cast. I think that Hillary's campaign was doomed from the start. I think that the Kennedy's were all in on the act from the start. That's why they suddenly wanted nothing to do with the Clintons and were throwing their entire weight behind someone with so little experience and with twenty years of association with controversial America-hating, white-hating racist demogouges like Louis Farrakhan and Reverend Wright. They chose(n) him as the new JFK, and they weren't going to let a silly thing like democracy get in the way. And about those super delegates. I remember when a concept called 'one man, one vote' was an important idea in this country. Not any more. Now we have Super Delegate, who knows what's best for us, even in the voting booth. That's why they're given the voting ability of hundreds of us mere mortals. Who needs Batman?
