Chavez: I do have some machiso ideas on how to keep your wife from outshining you.

ARE YOU STILL THERE?

Yankee Doodle, are you still there?
The fog around you is dense.
There are many who want you to disappear,
But I stubbornly have a sense

That you’ll be here forever,
That it’s not just me seeking you,
But millions of average Americans
Still color themselves red, white and blue.

There are heroes among us every day,
Each fighting for you in their own small way.
Let politicians sneer at our middling roots.
They are not worthy to polish your boots.

So stick a feather in your cap
And blow the fog away.
You’re still our ultimate hero
While we breathe freedom another day.
-- Mimi Evans Winship 

COAST IS CLEAR
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s The Arrogance of His Power: 

Yes, early on Obuma poked his head out to see if the coast was clear to attack America.  Undoubtedly pleased and surprised no one chopped it off, and encouraged by the warm appeasement of his vituperative remarks by the evil big media, the beast is slowly emerging farther out of his hole to vent progressively the full vials of his bottled up hatred against his own country.
-- Robert Henderson

LOOKING AHEAD
Re: Philip Klein's Obama's Big Government Gamble: 

 Once elected, will a Republican President and Congress be able to undo the overspending, or even be willing to do so once their districts become addicted to mainlining D.C. narcobucks?
-- David Govett
