Reflections From a Murky Pond

When geeks dream their dreams are not that fundamentally different from other people’s dreams. Wealth, power, happiness, women, or some combination of these things are the common subject matter.

There are, of course, a great deal of dissimilarity in the details of their dreams from those of the mainstream.

A Geek’s Dream: Sudo Make Me A Sandwich

A definitely pleasant dream, but one that is forever doomed to be unfulfilled since nobody, with the possible exception of their mothers, has ever figured out how to gain superuser access to a woman.

Indeed, trying to gain such access in the waking world often results in inadvertently dropping into the “bash” shell. 😉

The American military, and the respective military forces of much of the Civilized World, is making strides to “upgrade” their arsenal of ordnance, weaponry and delivery platforms to meet society’s new “Green” agenda.

I Love The Smell Of Napalm In The Morning;
It Smells Like … French Fries?

This will, of course, have some largely unexpected and probably disturbing consequences. 😉

H/T to Attack Cartoons from whence I shamelessly stole this cartoon.

It’s been a recent trend in television to air television shows which are pure fantasy but which are produced in a manner as if they were a documentary or a piece of investigative reporting. It’s an interesting and, admittedly, engrossing technique for presenting what would otherwise be received with scorn and derision.

While this is certainly a laudable method of providing entertainment to the viewing public, it’s had some very unfortunate bleed over into other areas of the American media. 😉

I Heard A Noise. It Must Have Been The “N” Word

Yeah; it’s pretty much just like that. If President Obama, the Liberals, and the collaborators in the Leftist MSM don’t have a valid argument against the American people’s complaints, they’ll just take advantage of Obama’s mixed-blood heritage and invent racist phantasmagoria.

H/T to Attack Cartoons from whence I shamelessly stole this cartoon.

Most people in the Civilized World have been shocked and confused by the puppet ruler of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s repeated public claims that the Holocaust never happened. Fortunately we now have enough evidence to put forth a theory on the matter.

Ahmadinejad’s New Beer Goggles Let Him Not See The Holocaust

I bet his new Beer Goggles 2.0 also let him look at history and not see what 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians, and 400 Thebans did to 100,000 or more of his Persian ancestors at the Battle of Thermopylae. 😉

I wonder though if Ahmadinejad’s new goggles let him see a future where Iran isn’t a blackened and shattered wasteland and the ragged, pathetic, and diseased remnants of its people aren’t scattered around refugee camps living off the largess of other nations.

I had been concerned by the lack of jokes about President Obama by the late night hosts. I was worried that either the media executives – mostly all Obama followers – were censoring the comics or that Obama’s race was having a quelling effect upon the hosts of late night television.

I’m happy to be proven wrong in this matter.

Here’s a sampling of some fairly recent “Question & Answer” sessions with some of America’s late night television hosts. I hope you enjoy their return to normal behavior somewhere near as much as I do.

Question: Have you heard about McDonald’s’ new Obama Value Meal?

Answer: Order anything you like and the guy behind you has to pay for it.

— Conan O’Brien

Question: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon?

Answer: A fund raiser.

—  Jay Leno

Question: What’s the difference between Obama’s cabinet and a penitentiary?

Answer: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers and threats to society. The other is for housing prisoners.

— David Letterman

Question: What was the most positive result of the “Cash for clunkers” program?

Answer: It took 95% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

— David Letterman

Question: If Nancy Pelosi and Obama were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and it started to sink, who would be saved?

Answer: America!

— Jimmy Fallon

Question: What’s the difference between Obama and his dog, Bo?

Answer: Bo has papers.

— Jimmy Kimmel

Yes! It’s good to hear these men lampoon President Obama in the same fashion they and the predecessors lampooned the previous American presidents.

The late night television hosts are, to some extent, a weather vane for society’s views and their renewed willingness to mock Obama shows that “The Messiah” has fallen from grace and from the pedestal his followers placed him upon.

All leaders in the Free World need a certain amount of satire and mockery directed towards them, but President Obama, due to the circumstances surrounding his rise to power, the currently hyper-polarized political climate of America, and his particular psychopathology, needs this reminder more than most. 😉

So, keep up the good work, Gentlemen; your nation needs you. But, Mr. Letterman, please get some new material! I’ve heard the one about the Cabinet and the penitentiary during every Administration since Reagan.
