Nice

So what with all the other problems in our country solved, the Idiot-In-Chief has enough time in his busy political life and vacationing to write a book:

US President Barack Obama to Publish New Book

I say we all obtain copies and add them to the pile of Korans to be burned. I'll supply Kingsford fuel and matches to get the fire started.  I don't condone buying them as that would just put money in his pocket...

Here's a picture of the cover so you know what to look for:

Letter From The Queen

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars plus additional expenses for my vacation in Spain.

My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a $2,500.00 per night suite at a 5-Star luxury hotel. We only booked 70 rooms for our friends, staff and family. Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.

Air Force 2 only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. It costs only $11,500 per hour to operate Air Force 2 and each additional plane for the other members of our party group. These are only rough estimates, but they are close (who's counting?). That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.

I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. I do appreciate your sacrifice and do hope you find work soon. I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days. Will write more from Martha's Vineyard, after our weekend on the gulf coast, where we will spend our sixth vacation this year with more of our family and friends.

Cordially,
Queen, M. Obama

Why It's Not His Fault - Updated

Obviously, shit ain't gettin' no better. It's getting worse.
But it's not O-Asshole's fault, just ask him.

Step 1: Blame Bush. YES WE CAN!
Step 2: If step 1 fails, blame republican resistance to CHANGE!

Yeah, maybe bush was a moron. But like I said, shit ain't gettin' no better and democrats have had control of congress for how long now?

I've been seeing political ads for months already. The bulk of which is Harry Reid (D-umbshit NV) vs Sharon Angle - who is his republican competition. However, Labor Day weekend is pretty much the starting gun of the election season. They are indeed off and running. Pardon the pun.

I can hardly fucking wait. I'm guessing the 'Mute' button on the remote will be worn down to but a nub come November.

Update: I saw this 'toon on some random blog (sorry, I would give credit if I remembered where) and thought it most appropriate:
