The inauguration is finally over. Which is great, because I don’t think I could have taken much more of Obamathon ’08.  Every time I turn around, I get to hear somebody else talking about how awesome and historic this all is, even though when it gets down to the nuts and bolts of what Barack is going to actually do, his supporters still don’t have a clue.

 

But hey, we’re not racist! Yay! Look how awesome we are. We elected the most left-leaning person to the presidency ever, but at least he’s slightly browner than I am. I don’t see the big deal, because if Colin Powel had said in 1996 that he wanted to be president, he would have easily won. But whatever makes all the people on the coasts happy.

 

So how is Barack going to run the country? I don’t know, but we can probably get some clues by who he is surrounding himself by.

 

His Global Warming (sorry, since it isn’t actually warming, we’ll call it Climate Change now, so it can still be a big crisis) Czar is a card carrying member of the Socialist leadership. Literally. That’s not exaggerating. And even then, her husband is a lobbyist for big oil companies, because in typical liberal tradition, there’s no such thing as hypocrites.

 

Eric Holder was a lousy #2 to the worst Attorney General in US history, and was the architect of such Justice Department highlights as kidnapping Elian Gonzalez with a SWAT team. As the new boss of the ATF, I’m sure that will be just awesome.

 

Timothy Geithner is going to be the new Treasury Secretary, which after George Bush’s idiotic bailout nonsense is now the most powerful person in Washington. I feel extra warm and fuzzy about this because Geithner doesn’t like to pay his taxes either, but then again, I’m not the head of the IRS.  It’s okay though, because he’s apologized for not paying $34,000. I’m sure if I ‘accidentally’ didn’t pay $34,000 in taxes, the IRS will totally be cool with an apology and I’ll get a pass.  

 

Rahm Emanuael as Chief of Staff? Sure, why the heck not? This was a man so slimy that Bill Clinton found him personally distasteful. He comes from the same political machine where half of their governors from the last 50 years are either serving time, or soon will be.

 

And Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State… Well, at least she’s tougher than Barack, so when Vladimir Putin and Hugo Chavez are sexually violating the US over the next few years, she’ll totally stand up for us… unless there’s some good money to be made from Indonesian coal bribery or something.  Nope, our foreign affairs are in fine hands.

 

Yep, it is going to be fun.

 

I’ve got something like 500 channels on DirectTV.  482 of them were about Obama yesterday.  Heck, I think HGTV was remodeling the Obama’s bathroom, the Travel channel was showing pictures of shirtless Barack frolicking in the ocean, and Animal Planet was about his kid’s dogs.  Hell, Barack was on the cover of the latest issue of Spiderman. SPIDERMAN!!!!!! 

 

I said it almost two years ago. Barack Obama is the Boy Band of Politics. No substance, no real talent, no experience, but media manufactured into a phenomenon. Like all Boy Bands, he’ll lose his luster eventually. The question is, what kind of idiotic policies are we going to push before then?

 

I’ve got faith in America though. We’ve survived stupidity before, and I’m just going to hope that the wuss party, (sorry, Republicans) channel the spirit of Newt Gingrich and actually put up a fight. Either way, we’re heading for some interesting times.

I’ve been on a roll.  Being a semi-unemployed writer guy does have a few advantages. As of yesterday I’ve written 50,000 words of my latest novel in January. It’s amazing how much you can get done when you’ve got actual time.

For entertainment I’ve been watching the DVD for the Showtime series Dexter. I’ve got to recommend it. It’s an excellent show. Imagine a really likable serial killer who lives by a strict moral code to only kill bad people. It’s good TV.

Sadly, I’m still going to have to find a real job. I’ve been applying for different accounting jobs, but the market really sucks right now.

Carol Browner isn’t just a democrat with socialist leanings. She’s an actual socialist. She belongs to socialist organizations. Not only does she belong, she’s leadership.

Now she’s going to be the person in charge of raping our energy policy.  “Climate Change” is a myth that is going to be the propaganda weapon used to bring about world government. I like how since the Earth hasn’t really been warming, it is no longer Global Warming, it is Climate Change. Whatever. Either way, it’s an excuse to destroy freedom.

So, do you have warm fuzzies yet? How’s that Hope and Change feeling for ya?

I sold a LOT of STIs in 2008. I just didn’t realize how many of them that really was though.

My favorite pistol is still my 4.15 Tactical, because it makes me look like I know what I’m doing.

Okay… Barack’s first speech since the election, and it is about how we’re going to use the government to spend our way out of the recession. The government is going to spend a TRILLION dollars on stupid projects, and somehow that is going to make everything better.

If anybody thinks this is a good idea, I’m guessing that you didn’t major in Economics or Accounting. This is bad. This is dumb. It was bad and dumb when George Bush did it, and now doing it with even more money isn’t going to work. It didn’t work when FDR did it either, despite the propaganda that you got spoonfed in high school history.  That money is being taken from somewhere, and that somewhere is like the .gov is putting it on some massive credit card that our kids and grandkids are going to get to pay until they die.

The last time the government went this far out on a limb was to fight the biggest war in history to develop the greatest war machine of all time and to harness the atom, with the very path of mankind at stake, and this time it is because we’re experiencing minor discomfort primarily caused by news propaganda and 7% unemployment.  As much as the democrats like to bitch about Ronald Reagan’s massive deficit spending, he was at like 8% of the GDP, and we’re going to move that to 11% or 12%.  Ronnie was only trying to win the Cold War, you know, the one where evil communists were prepared to clense us from the face of the world with nuclear fire.  This times is more important because we need the government to spend that much money so stupid people who couldn’t afford houses in the first place get to keep their houses, and American automakers can make substandard cars.

For all of you that voted for Hope and Change, get ready, because here it comes. Your change is going to be to socialism, only with a new frilly wrapper. The hope comes in where people like me hope and pray that the idiots in charge don’t try to make a bad situation better and end up destroying the US in the process.

And you might come back and say that it isn’t socialism. Really? I’d love to hear how. And when you can’t tell me how this diverges from the fundamental philosophy of Karl Marx, you can tell me that “But… but, George Bush sucked too!” Yes! I know. George Bush sucked, no kidding. John McCain was an idiot. Thanks, let’s move on to something that won’t destroy America now.
