How to Handle a Scandalanche®? Hint:You’ll Need a Few Rounds. UPDATED WITH THE NEW WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS, est. 1971

We’re hoping everyone has forgotten about this so-called Scandalanche® (like an Instalanche, only smellier) over the long weekend holiday.

Things have gotten so out of control that we had to cancel our usual plans to visit friends in Chicago in order to attend the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier ourselves this year.

While people across America spent the long weekend remembering our fallen heroes, disconnected from their personal electronic devices, resting up and roasting wieners, Big Guy was busy HOPING that you’ll forget about all those so-called scandals swirling around.

If not, we’ll just have to relegate them to one of our Big Government approved recycling dustbins of history:  “sideshows,”  “distractions,” “political circuses,” or – my personal favorite - “bumps in the road.

bumps-in-the-road

Then we’ll just let everything work it’s way out through the media cross-hairs as it always has in the past.

Don’t worry, we will survive this Scandalanche® too. Especially since we now have “a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military at our disposal.

So - now do you finally understand what we need those 1.6 billion bullets for?

If this Scandalanche® trend continues we’re going to need every round we (legally) purchased to properly defend ourselves against our enemies.

Memorial Day 2013: America’s Spirit Is Alive And Well

“Not for fame or reward; not for place or for rank; not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity; but in simple obedience to duty, as they understood it. These men suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all, and died.”

Today’s Memorial Day post is dedicated to our country’s fallen heroes; the 1.4 million men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in wars waged across centuries in order to preserve the principles of freedom and liberty.

And to brighten your day I offer a couple rays of light into our sometimes very cloudy skies:  two amateur videos that represent tiny glimpses of why America is the last, best hope of the world. The first is Gary Sinise performing with the  Lt. Dan Band; proving that not everyone in the entertainment business is dedicated to fundamentally transforming America.

 

God Bless the USA!!!

Gary Sinise & Lt. Dan Band 

Next, young Hunter Haden with his first grade class from Pepperell Primary in Lindale, GA performing Lee Greenwood’s anthem. I should note that Pepperell is a public school!! God bless flyover country.

Warning: this young man is more notable for his unbounded patriotism than his vocal skills, butt the cuteness factor supersedes his not-ready-for-Carnegie Hall creds.  Plus, it provides real HOPE for America’s future.

 "God Bless The USA" (Lee Greenwood)

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today

'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away


And I'm proud to be an American where as least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA


From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA
Well, there's pride in every American heart
And it's time to stand and say that


I'm proud to be an American where as least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA

God bless the USA

This just in from Cannes: Big Pharma Creates Shemales

We spent our first four years blaming everything on former President Bush,

Obama InaugurationSo long, butt not goodbye.

We’ve now decided to (finally) move on to more sophisticated defenses for our inherent inadequacies. The new excuse alibi immunity is provided by defenses variously known as “the Sgt. Schultz,” “the Nuremberg” or the “Three Wise Monkeys” (I think we can reject that last one out of hand; not because it’s a dog whistle, butt because of the “wise” part.).

msm Monkey See Hear Speak No obama Evil

Of course, we will continue to use the ever popular “Blame it on the R-words” excuse, as it can be generically applied to anything and everything.

-axelrods_tweetHey - What happened to the first $60 billion infrastructure stimulus?

Now, before you get out there and fire up the charcoal grill, or campfire if you’re in one of the Global Warming zones, here’s something else that isn’t the Wons’ fault: the masculinization of women.

That’s right, it’s not Lady M’s and Val Jar’s fault that they sometimes, shall we say, fall short of the feminine ideal:

Screenshot Studio capture #1111Screenshot Studio capture #1112

That’s the fault of “birth control pills.” Don’t take my word for it; this is coming straight (heh) from the Cannes Film Festival. From no lesser luminary than the darling of the glitterati set, ex-Hollywood director and child sexual predator Roman Polanski:

Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski on Saturday blamed birth control pills for "masculinising" women, as he premiered what he called a satire on sexism. (snip)

"I think to level the genders -- it's purely idiotic. I think it's a result... of progress in medicine. I think that the Pill has changed greatly the woman of our times, 'masculinising' her -- how would you say it?" he said, looking to his cast for a prompt.

And who would know better about masculinized women than the man convicted of giving a 13 year old girl drugs and booze before practicing safe statutory rape?

Sorry to leave you with such a conundrum on your holiday weekend: butt what are we to do?  Keep fighting the Republicans’ War on Women by continuing to hand out free birth control pills and risk shemale-ing the entire female population of America? That would eliminate the Democratic advantage:

Screenshot Studio capture #1113Rosen, Rice and Rosa: and that’s just the R’s!!

I say let’s just focus on our shovel ready projects instead, and fix the infrastructure that the R-words broke:

michelle-obama-shovel

Now on to the weekend festivities: let’s get out there and roast some wieners! Lady M would want you to.

Obama’s Naval Academy Commencement Address: “Sub-Optimal”

I don’t want to come right out and say that BO is losing it. But for a guy who has been regaled for his rhetorical gifts, has raised over $1 billion in campaign funds, and ran a political organization the envy of Tammany Hall, how else do you explain all these things?

Tell me, how can someone like Big Guy surround himself with so many incompetent people heading up so many agencies that keep coming up with such “suboptimal outcomes?”

For starters: an IRS staffed with senior management who either know nothing,

irs

or are unwilling to tell us what they do know, for fear of incriminating themselves.

lerner nose in airLois takes the Fifth: Oh sure, now they all believe in the Constitution.

An Attorney General who knows even less,

eric_holder_hand_to_head

and an ex-Secretary of State who doesn’t even know what difference it makes.

who gets stiches in their cheeks naturally

So Big Guy gets a chance to change the subject from a week of embarrassing non-testimony on the Hill about various scandals by addressing the graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy yesterday. And what does our Orator in Chief do? Give a soaring patriotic speech just ahead of the Memorial Day weekend? No. He goes off and gives a tone-deaf commencement lecture speech. Add our speech writers to the growing list of “sub-optimal.”

“Every day, elected officials like those on this stage, but also all across the nation, devote themselves to improving our communities and our country.

en_0416_cordes_480x360GSA Administrator Jeff Neely, chillin’ in Vegas, baby!

GSA WasteMr. Neely takes the Fifth

But all too often we’ve seen a politics where compromise is rejected as a dirty word, and policies are driven by special interests rather than the national interest.

Obama_scandals_thumb

And that breeds a cynicism that threatens our democracy.

Every day, our civil servants do their jobs with professionalism -- protecting our national security

20111005_FastFurious

and delivering the services that so many Americans expect.

tea audit copy

But as we’ve seen again in recent days, it only takes the misconduct of a few to further erode the people’s trust in their government.

obamainchargeofeverythingresponsiblefornothig

That’s unacceptable to me, and I know it’s unacceptable to you.

hb WM
And against this backdrop, what I said here four years ago remains true today: Our military remains the most trusted institution in America.[ed. not to diminish that distinction, butt the competition is growing smaller all all the time] When others have shirked their responsibilities, our Armed Forces have met every mission we’ve given them. When others have been distracted by petty arguments, our men and women in uniform come together as one American team.

arlingtonAnd they always have

And yet, we must acknowledge that even here, even in our military, we’ve seen how the misconduct of some can have effects that ripple far and wide. In our digital age, a single image from the battlefield of troops falling short of their standards can go viral and endanger our forces and undermine our efforts to achieve security and peace.

benghazi bombingBoy, I’ll say.

benghazi-panetta dempseyAt least they didn’t take the Fifth

Likewise, those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that make our military strong. That’s why we have to be determined to stop these crimes, because they’ve got no place in the greatest military on Earth.

Excuse me? Did I hear that right!? He’s lecturing the graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy about sexual assault? At their graduation ceremony!!?? Is that really appropriate, even if you are the man who can fix anything with his silver tongue?

Barack Obama Barack Obama Speaks Naval Academy 4Cz49oDHvDsxThe Commander-in-Chief man-handles one of the new female Naval Academy grads. I think that’s unacceptable.

When was the last time a Commander in Chief gave a political speech at a graduation ceremony of one of the Armed Services Academies? Oh yes, that would have been Big Guy, last year; at the Air Force Academy commencement.

“Our economy was in the worst recession since the Great Depression. Around the world and here at home, many questioned whether the United States still had the capacity for global leadership.”

“Today, you step forward into a different world,” Obama said, before implicitly giving his own policies credit for changing perceptions of American leadership and his nation’s position in the world. [ed. thanks to me]

Gosh, I don’t know what to make of all this. Maybe it’s time to go shopping for a new chair?

Screenshot Studio capture #1110This one’s too big…this one’s too small

“Okay, that one looks just right. And very presidential, even empty; I’ll take it.”

Of course, it looks far more presidential with a President in it.

We Are the Enemy We’ve Been Waiting For.

This does not bode well for my future as MOTUS (Mirror Of The United States):

pogo-31

That’s right; simply by peering into the mirror, we have met the enemy and, shockingly, he is us.

obama-holder“We are the enemy we have been waiting for”

As always, the people responsible for this travesty will be held accountable, so I expect to receive my notice of (paid) administrative leave shortly.

Butt wait! I think I’ve found an IRS approved loophole!

You can’t really blame an empty chair can you?

EmptyChair mirror boAnonymous2jpgGood work MOTUS! - if I do say so myself.

With a h/t to Clint Eastwood, allow me to make my case for clemency with this little vignette I like to call  "It’s like talking to an empty chair":

Scene 1: the IRS

“Okay, which one of you two clowns authorized the IRS targeting of conservative groups for harassment?”

acting irs commissioner steven miller former irs commissioner douglas shulman

“It wasn’t us, Congressman. It was the empty chair, right here, that authorized it.”

“Look, the President said he didn’t even know about it until he heard it on Fox News.”

“Okay then, it was Lois.”

Screenshot Studio capture #1109

“I didn’t do anything wrong, and if he doesn’t have to answer questions then neither do I.”

Scene 2: Benghazi

“Our consulate is under attack by Libyan terrorists; our ambassador and his staff are in grave danger. Request permission to send in the Marines, Mr. President.”

panetta-and-the-empty-chair_thumb

“Mr. President?”

“I’ve got a fundraiser in the morning, Leon, get a hold of Valarie.”

val jar chair_thumb[4]

“Look Leon, you know I’m not leaving my fingerprints on that. Besides, I don’t have the ‘authority.’ Ask Hillary.”

hillary inquires about BHO nightly rounds

“Sorry Leon, you know Val’s rules; the empty chair is the only one who can do that.”

Obama%20blackberry1

“Sorry Leon, wheels are up; you know I have to turn off all my portable devices now. Check in with me again after I’ve caught a few zzz’s.”

Scene 3: Spying on AP/Fox News

“Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” Mr. Obama said in a wide-ranging address on counterterrorism policy. “Our focus must be on those who break the law.”

Mr. Obama said he raised the issue with Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who he said shared those concerns and would gather representatives from news media organizations as part of the review. Mr. Obama instructed Mr. Holder to report back to him by July 12.

With the truth, the whole truth and nothing butt…

holder testifies copy

“This might get awkward, Ricky, so let’s just make sure your investigation doesn’t turn up any more embarrassing facts about this little wiretap exercise, Okay?”

“Of course Bo, we’ll only interview the people who know nothing.”

empty pres chair

I’m sure everything will turn out just fine. After all, Big Guy’s taking counsel from the best.

Lyndon_Johnson_Richard_Nixon_1968_th“Look Boo-Rock, a little advice: you’ve got to do more than assemble an enemies list. But not too much more.”

So in closing then: when Big Guy says “there’s no there there,” you can take him at his word. Literally.

Note to self: this might fall under the rubric of too much more:
