“The guy still standing, that’s my mortal enemy” (B0bots confuzzled)

I went in B0botland today to see what the news of offshore drilling has done to them. I think it’s best summed up in a joke:

Two guys walk into  a bar in the Wild West. One says to the other: “See that guy?”

“Which guy?”

“The one in a hat”

“They all wear hats”

“The one in jeans”

“They all wear jeans”

Losing his patience, first guy takes his gun out of its holster, shoots everyone in sight, leaving only one standing:

“That guy. That’s my mortal enemy”

Looks like b0bots are just being explained this and they are very excited about it.

Here’s a sample of it

3. He stole their top issue and will impliment it responsibly.

It’s pure hell for Republicans. Boner is already on record as opposing Obama’s plan, apparently because it’s too environmentally responsible.

12. ”He stole their top issue and will impliment it”

And you don’t see a problem with that??? If Obama is implementing THEIR agenda instead of OUR agenda, it isn’t a clever ploy to where Dems win. We WIN by enacting OUR agenda and defeating THEIR agenda. If having their agenda enacted is “pure hell” then I’d sure like a double dose. 14. No I don’t see a problem with that. Edited on Wed Mar-31-10 01:52 PM by tridim I see a Democratic SOLUTION. I guess that’s the difference between you and I.

Mind you, this comes on the heels of celebrating getting Romneycare – because that “neutralized Romney”

Someone sees the absurdity

18. Don’t you see? It’s brilliant

Capitulate totally to what the other side wants and then beg them to help us lower green house emissions. Just like HCR. Promise to keep all our best ideas out of the bill and then beg them to let us pass a bill based on plan masterminded by the Heritage foundation plan. Historic!

In fact to be fair, there are entire discussions going this way

I have failed to appreciate Obama’s brilliance.

don’t know why the Dems didn’t figure this out decades ago. All we need to do is enact the legislation the Republican agenda has sought for 30 years and in one fell swoop we make ourselves immune to Republican criticisms AND we achieve historic legislative accomplishments that give the President lots of political capital to push through even more of the Republican Agenda.

What’s next? War on Venezuela to preserve democracy? That will show those Republican’s who is boss…

but of course there are those missing the sarcasm

25. Most dems are accustomed to their presidents speaking to them..

where as Obama actually speaks to the middle. This seems like a wise move to me as he becomes immune to the “too liberal” argument that most conservative politics is founded on. Do

Some are still naive enough to ask this question

Is there still room in the Democratic Party for those who advocate for these Liberal Issues?

*Medicare for anyone who wants it.

*Immediate withdrawal of ALL military forces and “contractors” from the Middle East.

*Immediate reduction of Military Spending by at least 50%

*The immediate break-up (Trust Busting) of everything “Too Big to Fail”.

*Fair Competition Legislation that lets Mom&Pop (small locally owned businesses and farms) compete with Big Box and Factory Farms on a level playing field.

*An end to “Free Trade” (Race to the Bottom)

*Organized LABOR and local co-ops.

*Women’s Right to Choose

If I posted there, I would bring the joke I started with as the illustration:

See? You are the other guys in the bar. Obama just shot you all to point out who the enemy is.  The Republicans are the enemy. Aren’t ya glad they were finally singled out?

Or to quote one of the operatives:

“it’s pure hell for Republicans”

Bicycles in New York City (photographs)

Today, walking in the Lower East Side I saw a bike on top of the curious underwater pile in this graffiti

No sooner did I ponder the significance of this, I saw on the same sidewalk a crochet covered bike

here’s another view

In NYC, locking your bike is bound to secure at least parts of it

Maybe the owner of that should get together with the owner of this

Not sure why I included this in the bikes collection.

It was in our community garden

and maybe it did remind me of this

Tabloids: Off shore drilling, war, tardy flights, puff and fluff

Wapo has some war news, but it’s all cream puff in the center – I guess B0bots need something to take their Romneycare with

Washington Times has stories on the Sarkozy meeting and proposed sanctions to Iran and a better fluffy center – the cherry blossom season

There is no fluff in Obama Times. Off-shore drilling front and center. I can’t say it’s a broken promise as he went back and forth on it during the campaign.

Some fluff – or local stories in the NYC tabloids:

NY Met takes pride that NY is number one …in delayed flights. Yea us!

while the NY Post looks at the loss of a federal grant for schools by misspending state officials
