White House Correspondents’ Dinner 2008
Bush may not rank high as a President, but he has got to be one of the funniest ever. Hot Air has the vids here.
Change
I tey to stay away from Politics on this blog (except for humour), but this post by dee here at Conservatism With Heart really got me thinking.
A little over one year ago: (16 months)
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate
(stock and mutual fund losses);5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Danish Input on the US Elections
Via the guys at This Goes To 11
“Some dude from Denmark named Lars gave me his perspective on our upcoming Presidential Election:
“We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even
bothering to hold an election.On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer . . . and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.
On the other side, you have a war hero married to a good looking woman with big tits who owns a beer distributorship.
Is there a contest here?”
