The Obama Inauguration in a nutshell:

obama-inaugeration-ballYou may have seen or read most of this, but I thought it'd be fun to present it this way.  Besides, I haven't had a chance to post anything about Obama's Debutante Ball.

Yes, I'm against the War on Drugs and all ... but c'mon!  Admit it! LSD is bad for you!

A group of magical and spiritual progressives proved my point Tuesday morning, as they joined together to sweep the town clean of evil spirits.

I see the "Maverick" is already running for the presidential nomination in 2012!  We now have another reason not to elect Senator John McCain - his mis-firing brain synapses.  War hero he may be, that good old "get-alonger" ... can't somebody just sit him down and convince him to retire?  I mean ... this is why he lost!


Something to be proud of, racism in America is finally a thing of the past!  Oh, wait ... maybe I've jumped the gun ...

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Sad ... but at least it got a grin out of the president!

Continuing the depressing news ... comedian and screenwriter Dan Gregor says, "It's the death of comedy. We've entered the era of sincerity." Does this mean Obama jokes will become crimespeak?  But wait ... we do have good news!

Comedian and host of "The View," Whoopi Goldberg, puts Milton Friedman in his place, by articulating the reasons for our current economic crisis.

"I don't think I could explain it to you righteously (sic), but it made sense when I heard the explanation. Basically, the bank is sitting because they're not below what their paperwork should say and they're not above what their paperwork should say - they're right at their paperwork mark and they don't want to move from that."

Don't know about you ... but I'm not sure I can even tie my shoes after reading this.  My brain can only handle so much knowledge at once.

President Obama's new era of transparency has begun ... yesterday, a reporter asked Obama's press spokesmen Robert Gibbs:

Note: I misplaced the source for this portion.  I'll find it for inclusion asap.

"Why did the administration believe it was important for the American people not to know the name of the two senior administration officials who briefed us this morning on Guantanamo?"

After some lame excuse about Brazilian soccer players using only one name, another reporter asked:

"How is it transparent, when you control the only image of the re-swearing - there's nobody in there but four print reporters, there's no stills, there's no television? And the only recording that comes out, as I understand it, is one that a reporter made, not one that the White House supplied."

"Change (TM)" you can't believe in!

Brazilian soccer players?  Hey, let's help the new president out, let's see ... transparency ... OK, let's try this article from Politico:

"It is ironic, the same day that the president is talking about transparency, we were not let in," CNN's Ed Henry said on the air Wednesday night after news of the second swearing-in broke.

Henry's main gripe was that television reporters weren't permitted to cover a historic moment, when Obama once again raised his right hand and took the oath before Justice John Roberts. The only images came from White House photographer Pete Souza.

Three wire services - The Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse - refused to move those images, in protest of the White House's handling of the event.

The wire services' photographers were also denied access to photograph Obama sitting in the Oval Office on the first day, and similarly refused to move the White House approved photos.

Michael Oreskes, the AP's managing editor for U.S. news, told his own news outlet that "we are not distributing what are, in effect, visual press releases."

Well, as Obama said to Republicans this morning, "I won." So I guess that means he's King!  I swear we overthrew one of them before ...

This is funny! At the same meeting, Obama also told the Republicans:

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done."

I laugh, because if Republicans actually listened to Rush Limbaugh, they would have won!

ALERT: Mark my words on this ... this remark of Obama's, was a small bomb, lobbed into the neighborhood of free speech.

By the way, if I were president ... I guarantee my first phone call wouldn't be to a terrorist leader.  Then again ... I wouldn't have had a speaker at my inauguration with terrorist ties either.  Yes, I know ... I'm soooo like PC-phobic, or something.

Of course, "change" includes, for the first time in 54 years, the new Commander in Cheif snubbing our veterans!

Anyways ... let's put aside our grievances, and join stars Jay-Z and Young Cheesy in celebration of our new president! (link goes to google cache)

Keep it moving bitch because my president is mother fucking black, nigga!
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My momma ain't at home, and daddy's still in jail
Tryna make a plate, anybody seen the scale?
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My money's light green and my Jordans light grey
And they love to see white, now how much you tryna pay?
Let's go!

My president is black, he's black, he's half white
So even in a racist mind, he's half right
So if you got a racist mind, it's alright
My president is black, but his house is all white.

Let's see ... a Lambo + in jail = pretty much any given Democrat or Democrat appointee!
