Obama Interviews The Pups

I subscribe to The New Yorker Magazine. I do that because George W Bush was elected president of the US for two terms, and I make it a point to read articles in magazines that take the opposite political opinion of whomever is in office. Most of the time I don't agree with the opinions expressed by the liberal political spectrum, but at least I'm aware of what that side is up to, and that's important to me. It's soon time to change magazine subscriptions since Obamarx has been elected president for the next 4 years. I'll probably get the Weekly Standard and allow The New Yorker to lapse.

Meanwhile, I continue receiving the issues left on my subscription to TNY. There hasn't been enough time for them to begin earnestly gushing about the wonders of our new POTUS which is a good thing. My stomach still has not settled down from the battering upset it took election night. I may not be up to all that gooey nonsense about "change" and "saving the world" that other publications and media services have begun.

However, the 8 December 2008 issue of TNY has an interesting cover. It shows Obamarx interviewing one dog while a line of hopeful pups wait their turn outside his office door. I don't know or care what the artist who concocted this image had in mind, but I know what I thought as soon as I saw the cover... Obamarx is spending more time and giving more thought to what kind of puppy he's going to give to his children as the bribery payoff he promised them than he gave to whomever his Secretary of State was going to be.

He actually did it. He named Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State for his administration. Not only did he put her in his cabinet, but he did it with the same straight face he used to announce Joe Biden would be his running mate.

I keep a book of my favorite quotes into which I enter new additions as I come across them anywhere from online to bumper stickers. One of the more recent entries is, "100,000 lemmings can't be wrong." Apparently neither can several million American voters urged on by an almost criminally incompetent media who served up Obamarx on a regular basis with a halo shining over his head and some drivel about his bringing "change" to Washington. Now I get it. While everyone thought "change" meant a difference in behavior, what it really means is the pennies and nickels that rattle around in the bottom of our handbags. We usually refer to that as "loose change", but in this case there's nothing "loose" about Obamarx. He hatched his plans and kept his intentions secret from those millions of American voters, some of whom still believe they're actually going to get tax breaks and not worry where their jobs have gone. Better start counting up all that "loose change" people; it may come in handy to balance your own personal budget very soon.

Meanwhile, the Clintons are about to be set loose in Washington once again. We can only shudder to think what Willie has in mind as he finds ways to entertain himself. And Hillary? I'd make darn sure anything that isn't nailed down in the White House is guarded by round-the-clock secret service agents. Last time she was allowed free reign there even typewriter keys disappeared.

It will be interesting to see what new covers TNY comes up with week after week as Obamarx continues to define his priorities. Not interesting enough to renew my subscription to TNY, but there ought to be a few chuckles before my Weekly Standard kicks in.
