Snort Notes – October 2009
INTERNET SOCIAL NETWORK FACEBOOK REMOVES A POLL FROM THEIR SITE THAT ASKED READERS IF PRESIDENT OBAMA SHOULD BE ASSASSINATED. THE POLL WAS REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNAMUSED SECRET SERVICE.
WTF???
There isn’t a font big enough to convey my outrage at this incident. Since when did Facebook become the property of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and/or Faux News? If any of these individuals and or organizations are remotely connected to Facebook in any way, then it answers my first question.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS DENOUNCE PRESIDENT OBAMA’S TRIP TO DENMARK TO PITCH THE CITY OF CHICAGO FOR THE SITE OF THE 2016 OLYMPICS. THEY ARGUE THAT OBAMA’S TIME COULD BE BETTER SPENT ON SUCH ISSUES AS HEALTH CARE REFORM AND THE ECONOMY.
Come on, guys! Cut him a break already! It’s not like a crisis erupted and he went deep sea fishing off the coast of Kennebunkport, Maine...unlike some recent presidents we could name.
Obama has had a very stressful time during the last few weeks. First, he had to sit through a long-winded speech by Moammar Ghaddafi at the UN, then attend an international economic summit in Pittsburgh, and then some idiot Internet site is soliciting opinions on whether he should die or not. Can you blame the guy for wanting to get a change of scenery? So maybe he wanted to get a piece of Danish. (I’ve been wanting to use that line since the Clinton Administration, but the occasion never came up. Okay, granted, the joke would have been more applicable to Bill Clinton in several different ways...if you know what I mean.)
In any case, what have the Republicans done to further health care reform this week? What’s wrong? Is your Ronald Reagan Bedtime for Bonzo Souvenir Magic Wand on the fritz, and you can’t get your agenda through Congress without it? Can’t you do anything without the President hanging around? Huh?
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES CLINCH EASTERN NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISONAL TITLE FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW.
Just when it seemed like the Atlanta Braves were catching up, and the Phillies seemed poised to implode like they did in 1964, the outcomes of two games this week reversed everyone’s fortunes. Now the best that Atlanta can hope for is the wild card slot. Unfortunately for them, the Colorado Rockies, who spoiled the Phillies post season two years ago, are more likely to advance to the National League wild card.
Of course, Phillies fans know nothing is assured. We could get knocked out of any of the two post season series that will need to be played before the World Series can begin. Still, it’ll be great to get a few more weeks tacked onto the regular season.
DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVE ALAN GRAYSON SAYS THE REPUBLICAN'S HEALTH PLAN CAN BE SUMMED UP WITH THE WORDS “DIE QUICKLY”. REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS ARE DEMANDING AN APOLOGY AND CALLING ON DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TO SANCTION GRAYSON.
Although this blog is in no way affiliated with the Faux News Network — and is therefore under no obligation to be "fair and balanced" — we at arteejee still feel it is our duty to call out reckless, irresponsible charges leveled in the halls of Congress. After all, we did chew out Congressman Wilson for his “You lie!” outburst when President Obama made a personal appearance in the chamber a few weeks ago. It’s only fair to make some sort of statement about this latest accusation, even though we doubt that this will be the last word heard on the matter. Therefore, at this time, we will say this: “Hey! How about those Phillies!!!”
(Thanks for reading. Please remember that obsession may be defined as any time a loved one keeps you in a cardboard box, but love happens any time that loved one pokes air holes in the box lid.)
