this one – as I explained before:
The cartoon that is on my Jr.jr page for a year now as well as more recent entries, including the very popular latest DUdies finally makes its way there (with the disclaimer it’s “from Canada” – kinda like the Coneheads were “from France”). I found it at Truthdig. Last year when these scaners were first discussed.
Fine. Canada I am.
New epiphanies
Obama is not bringing a knife to the gunfight with the Republicans.
He’s bringing some casserole to share.
All agreements. One slim hope
3. well that’s nice
Most popular discussion
My hero,Dr. Cornel West,on Bush,and current Obama administration
CORNEL WEST: And I would say that even about the Obama administration. The Obama administration seems to have very little concern about poor people and their social misery. Look at the policies vis-à-vis Wall Street downplaying Main Street. Look at the policies of black farmers, a settlement already in place but they don’t want to executed because they don’t want to be associated with black folk too explicitly. Look at the dilapidated housing. We can go across the board. Look at the New Jim Crow system: the Prison Industrial Complex. We’re not talking just about individual presidents. We’re talking about a system that is tilted against poor people, against working people, disproportionately black and brown and red.
Suddenly, they can criticize Obama without being called racist!
12. I guess we won’t see the “this is just more racism from the left”
Most posts are pure Cornel West worship.
36. Dr. Cornell West, my brother.
Still, some Os are undounted
45. Stupid lie; the administration is plenty concerned about the poor
But hiding behind West’s color gave them courage
60. Obama Admin. seems concerned with creating MORE poor ….
Cutting food stamps — !! Permalink
For fun
What if I just whipped it out while being screened by TSA?
Would it be considered helping them do their jobs, or would they come down hard on me? Just wondering. Any TSA airport screeners out there?
I’m going to fly next month so any tips or ideas would be appreciated.
(Oh yeah, I’m a male, btw
Hilarity ensues.
However, as Obama weighs in, lots of anger
Obama: TSA pat-downs frustrating but necessary
“I understand people’s frustrations, and what I’ve said to the TSA is that you have to constantly refine and measure whether what we’re doing is the only way to assure the American people’s safety. And you also have to think through are there other ways of doing it that are less intrusive,” Obama said.
“But at this point, TSA in consultation with counterterrorism experts have indicated to me that the procedures that they have been putting in place are the only ones right now that they consider to be effective against the kind of threat that we saw in the Christmas Day bombing.”
Some of the reactions
13. How can he possibly understand it considering he and his
Firs he, with his wife and daughters should go through airport security, be patted down and scanned, and then he should talk on how he understands it. Permalink
and
2. Then he will be willing to set an example as a leader and
I know what is good for me and my family. A politician who is protected from these abuses cannot and does not speak for me. And to think I once thought he did.
Michael Chertoff thanks him for his free ad for his disgusting product. Permalink
and then there’s a picture
. Obey
and
21. Obama is stupid
the most succint
29. Kiss my ass. Seriously. We’re talking about molestation here. Not “frustration”.
Another one
The President decides. TSA groping will continue.
where the defenders try hard
72. SO is Obama an evil fascist or just an enabler of molesters according to DU?
and
137. Basically Obama is “covering his own ass”
Permalink
and a new one
I am sorry. I can’t support any President who requires naked pictures or groping of my genitals to–
to keep me “safe.”
Biden hearts Obama. Some O’s not so much.
“He’s got backbone like ramrod, a brain bigger than his skull and a heart that just keeps beating”
and don’t forget clean and articulate.
I noticed the link to the thread doesn’t work – can’t fix it. Use the comments links to get to it – they work

Another good one

Do you feel an opportunity was squandered after the election of 2008?
…..The Republican President and the Republican Party were at the bottom of it all. They could have been forced to agree with just about any policy that would help to get our economy stabilized. They had no choice.
But somehow, the Democrats let them back into the game. They did not apply the knockout punch which was deserved and called for. After a year of debating healthcare reform, they had regained their credibility with a lot of voters. Then, they killed the Democrats in the midterm elections a few weeks ago. Did the Democrats squander an opportunity to put the Republicans away for a long time?
Many think the answer is “yes”. But the loyal Os are still at it
118. Uh, let’s see…
Others blame the media, congress and …high expectations

ouch (from Canada)
It’s almost unanimously praised. Almost
19. Of Course! Obama is EXACTLY the same as Bush!
He was born into money and power, failed upwards his entire life, was a C student, a womanizer, an alcoholic coke-head, a PNAC puppet installed in office for the sake of launching wars in the Middle East, a personal embarrassment to the US in every foreign nation he made a diplomatic faux-pas, the vast majority of the world despises him, he has blown off warnings about terrorsts entirely, corporations and their minions LOVE him, he has helped funnel billions of dollars to his cronies’ and father’s business interests, he is inarticulate, intellectually incurious, and can’t pronounce the word ‘nuclear’.
Can’t even tell which one I’m talking about, can you? Permalink
I have to give this the DUdie .
It feels like Biden would get it, but considering the ecstasy here, the O’s have it

See you back Friday, for the next edition!.
Most TSA front pages are either from the gropers POV today – or trying to boost it.
TSA Chief warns the squeamish travelers that if they don’t submit to fondling, the terrorists win
The New York Times also frontpages their woes: AT CHECKPOINT FACING TERROR FEARS AND NOW, TESTY TRAVELERS Read the rest of this entry »
Remember this joke Colbert made about W, to his face?
I was reminded by it reading this morning tweet
Lowest ever: Obama job approval sinks to 39%, as even Democrats' support melts away http://lat.ms/gzTCeT #tcot #sgp #p2—
Top of the Ticket (@latimestot) November 23, 2010
To be sure, Andrew Malcolm has his own image at the link – and it has nothing to do with W
and mind you, this is not a Rasmussen poll that O’s dismiss off the bat. No, it’s a Zogby – who has been an O himself.
From Malcolm’s snarky piece
President Obama has passed the Big 4-0 — going the wrong way.
Turns out voters were not simply satisfied to spank the Democrat and his party in the Nov. 2 midterm elections with historic losses in the House of Representatives.
Obama’s job approval rating as calculated by the Zogby Poll has now sunk to 39%, a new low for his 22-month presidency that began with so much hope and excitement and poll numbers up around 70. As recently as Sept. 20, his job approval was 49%.
A whopping 60% now disapprove of his job, up from 51% disapproval Sept. 20.
Obama now trails in hypothetical 2012 matchups against Republicans Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and the next Bush, Jeb.
That last one really scared me. Of course, the most amusing part for Malcolm is the tie with Palin that came out of that poll
But for me, the cherry on top is the awakening of the O’s
But, Zogby notes, perhaps most ominous for the president is that he’s now losing support among his own party people. His approval plopped nearly 10% in just one week, from 78% down to 72% in Zogby’s latest read.
Obama, John Zogby writes, “is failing to please more than one-fourth of his own party’s voters. This is a perilous position for the President.
Comments Zogby
“Conventional wisdom calls for him to reach for the center and assume that Democrats will stay with him in 2012. But as we saw in the mid-terms, Democrats can’t win without strong turnout from the young and minorities, both of which are demographics that need more motivation than others to vote.“
Time to reopen Camp Obama. And stock it with targets with Palin’s pictures on it.
