Teh One is continuing the mop flying tour, bringing his act to Wall Street where he is wagging his finger
even as he is collecting their money. Some old donors miss the mop session though
Part of the reason, several Democratic fund-raisers and executives said, is a fear of getting caught in the public rage over the perception that Wall Street titans profiting from their government bailout may use their winnings to give back to Washington in return
The IKEA in Glasgow door gets a possible Jesus (h/t The Confluence) – but maybe Gandalf . I clearly recognize the druid Getafix who was fixing Asterix’s power potions.
Over at WaPo, they are crying oppression again,
whilst hoping to outbreed us in the end
The culture war is up for grabs. The good news is that religious conservatives continue to breed like rabbits, while secular saboteurs have shut down: they’re too busy walking their dogs, going to bathhouses and aborting their kids. Time, it seems, is on the side of the angels.
To think all this time I thought angels were asexual!
Over at CNN, they are fantasizing about girl fight again and mopping (there’s that word of the day again) over the results
Sixty-five percent say they have a favorable opinion of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and 64 percent say they view first lady Michelle Obama favorably. Both women rate higher than the six in 10 questioned who view Obama in a favorable light. Forty-five percent say they have a favorable opinion of Vice President Joe Biden, 5 points higher than the four in 10 who view Biden unfavorably.
“It’s not surprising that Clinton tops Barack Obama on the favorable ratings,” says Holland. “Secretaries of State don’t get blamed for economic problems or unpopular domestic policies, and they often don’t get the same share of the blame as the commander-in-Chief for international slip-ups either. But typically, the first lady gets even better favorable ratings than the Secretary of State, so the fact that Clinton’s numbers are slightly better than Michelle Obama’s is a bit surprising.“
And, back to the White House, a witch hunt has started for Fox News, because their opinions of their opinions are bad.
One can only wonder what did Axelrod and Roger Ailes agree at their last meeting as Paul Begala astutely notes how this is beneficial to both party by both boosting ratings and rallying koolaid base.

Bravo Edge!
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that.
I noticed it a few years ago.
Religious Fundies were having HUGE families and making Mommy (OctoMoM where are you?) stay at home raising their herd.
I assumed it was a planned strategy then, just as I had discovered that the Palestinians were using large families on purpose too as a strategy against Israel.

Well, I can understand why HRC got a 65% approval rating, she more than earned it, but I’d like to know what the 64% found so appealing about MO? As far as I can tell, she hasn’t done a damned thing worth mentioning since she moved into the WH. Where is she anyway? Wasn’t she supposed to be out there pushing healthcare reform?
btw, Rasmussen has a slightly different take the O’s numbers:
“Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13. That’s just a point above the lowest level ever recorded for this President. It’s also the sixth straight day in negative double digits, matching the longest such streak.”

I thought the comparison was very offensive to Hillary and sexist to both.

It’s definitely offensive, but what can you expect? CNN will never, ever allow Hillary Clinton to shine alone. MO’s a first lady & that’s how she should be rated, NOT paired with the Secretary of State.
OT, but Cheney’s going after BO tonight.
Obama’s Afghanistan strategy “bears a striking resemblance” to the one announced by President Obama in March.”
“They asked us not to announce our findings publicly, and we agreed, giving them the benefit of our work and the benefit of the doubt,” Cheney said in prepared remarks.

True to form, Obama apparently did a copy & paste job on Bush’s plan, and claimed it as his own.
