And so I shall do so, in great celebratory ululations!

The gas tax holiday is pure pandering. Curse John McCain for giving the witch her opening. But… but…

But then she decided to take on OPEC! “I SHALL CRUSH OPEC!!!” If ever the peasant Nikita Khrushcgev was reanimated, it was at that shoe-pounding, populist, communist moment. And to her so-very just desserts the evil Hillary Clinton shall now retire to dine! I hope that shoe in her mouth tastes oh so very divine!

But it is not her fault. She is merely the Evita Peron to the monstrous, thoroughly evil Juan Peron. And he was the monstrous evil, as Bill Clinton was the monstrous corruption of evil that stained the Democrat Party far, far worse than Tom Delay could ever stain the Repubs!

Twas Bill who sold America out! Primarily to the Chinese and to Dubai. And, to a lesser degree, so many others. In his view of a multi-national world to which Eva Peron could not disagree, he sold our country out to his highest bidder and she, like Evita, simply went along. Once the deal in blood is sealed with the Chinese and with Dubai, could Evita repudiate their beloved Juan Peron’s deals? Scarcely, scarcely… especially not to the shadow Bill Clinton Former-President funds — and she could then be President???

So, my CDS (Clinton Derangement Syndrome) campaign now comes to an end. The Roman Empire died of corruption. And our ascendancy may yet wither and die due to corruption.

But Clinton - Hillary that is- was ready to go on Day One. That means her Corruption Machine was ready to go on Day One. And it is now dead. DEAD DEAD DEAD. Thank God for America and for all that is just and worthy.

A new hope dawns. Can we seize it?

Even if it wasn’t Buckley, (a) it still sounds like something he would have said and (b) it sounds like something with which I agree.

Whatever Obama is, he certainly behaves in this manner. It seems he’s constantly belittling someone else’s intelligence if he disagrees with him (note his Jay-Z impersonation after being trounced in the recent debate with Clinton).

But of course, Obama is elitist. He attended the same grade school as the Hawaiian Royal Family. He graduated from Harvard. He’s making beau coup bucks with an autobiography when he was clearly a man of no accomplishments. He’s Mister Ivy League, and the fact that his skin is black doesn’t negate that.

His stances and the way in which he approaches any criticism of any sort is reminiscent of the Liberal Arts elitists at my old college. Facts don’t move them much but we articulation and intonation does. You have to have th right opinions to be heard at all. Or else you’ll be banished into the gloom in the category of “one of those idiots” who disagrees with them. Ah, those college years…

In any case, this is a hurdle Obama still hasn’t gotten over. What little we know of him (since he has such a fully empty repertoire of accomplishments) has shown him to be, thus far, a cool, collected, detached, cerebral elitist who bandies about in bad company.

If this is sufficient to be President, whell!, I know a couple of Joe’s up for th job!

“It highlighted the period between 1996-97 through 2000-2001. Results suggest that among the schools the Challenge supported, the Challenge had little impact on school improvement and student outcomes, with no statistically significant differences between Annenberg and non-Annenberg schools in rates of achievement gain, student behavior, student self-sufficiency, and social competence. ”

If Obama had some direct public school experience, he might have been better able to evaluate the potential effectiveness of the pie-in-the-sky proposals coming from the ed school types soliciting funds from the $50 million Annenberg Challenge. Obama chaired a project that handed out $50 million in grant money for improvement in Chicago schools, and the $50 million had no result. That doesn’t say much about Obama’s abilities as an executive. It also stereotypes the stereotype of liberal solutions for social problems: throw some money at it.
One can see why Obama has apparently not been inclined to volunteer to gush about his experience with the Annenberg Challenge. His ineffectiveness in chairing the Annenberg Challenge , coupled with the Annenberg Challenge’s association with Bill Ayers, inform us why he has been less than forthcoming about this matter and others.
