The look on the guys’ faces are priceless…….   OHIO –  Vice President Joe Biden got caught in a stunning photo with a female biker sitting on his lap.

The Associated Press snapped the shot at Cruisers Diner in Seaman, Ohio on Sunday.  A White House pool report says the bikers may be part of a group called the Shaddowmen.” No details were available on their real names or what discussion led to the lap incident.

Some observers were quick to joke that Biden is starting to resemble the working-class parody Biden seen in The Onion.

Earlier in the diner visit, Biden made banter with biker Jeff Cook: (more…)

A most excellent and succinct article (below) describing the pending doom of the Democrat party.   The signs are everywhere…. you just have to see beyond the media’s curtain.  

The podium at the DNC was just like the podium in Bagdad Iraq circa 1991  2003 (corrected) where we got to laugh nightly at Bagdad Bob telling everyone how the infidels were being crushed by the mighty forces of Iraq’s Elite Republican Guard.   Meanwhile in the background we bore witness to the “Shock and Awe” coalition campaign destroying everything around him.

It was so sad, and yet so comical to watch.  That metaphor describes the modern DNC and is very aptly described in the following article:

(Via WSJ ) Julian Castro is no Barack Obama. And for that, Democrats have themselves to blame.

The focus of this week’s Democratic convention was President Obama. Lost in the adulation was the diminished state to which he has brought his broader party. Today’s Democrats are a shadow of 2008—struggling for re-election, isolated to a handful of states, lacking reform ideas, bereft of a future political bench. It has been a stunning slide. (more…)

That’s what Democrats have to make Bumper Stickers –  I hate fibbers liars !

(IBD) The Obama camp can’t stop clucking about how he saved GM and the car industry. But if the GM bailout is such a success story, why can’t it pay back its debt to taxpayers?

The president’s new campaign video narrated by actor Tom Hanks claims GM has “repaid” its loans. But in a revelation by the special inspector general monitoring the TARP bailout program, GM and GMAC together still owe the biggest share of the remaining $119 billion TARP debt.

Of the top bailout recipients, GM is the biggest laggard, the TARP watchdog says in his latest quarterly report to Congress. Bank of America, Citigroup, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial all have paid off their debt and left the TARP program. Even AIG has paid back more than 75% of what it owes taxpayers.

GM, on the other hand, still owes more than half the $50 billion in federal funds it received when the combination of the recession and its costly union contracts drove it into bankruptcy. And its lending arm, GMAC (now Ally Financial), still owes $14.5 billion. (more…)

This is just reflective of something any substantive political watcher already knows; but it is affirming to find supportive evidence nonetheless.

President Obama continually sells the story of his across the aisle outreach as an excuse for why his policies failed.  He claims he tried too hard to work with the other side.

This is a regular talking point for the institutional leftists.   However, the truth is divergent in the extreme, and Bob Woodward hits on it within his new book “The Price of Politics”.

In an example Woodward shares: (more…)

Rep. John Lewis foolishly, but effectively and falsely, accused the Tea Party of “spitting” on him in 2010.   It did not happen, but the media drummed the controversial talking point to death in their futile effort to ridicule the Tea Party as racist.

Well, Mr. Lewis is at it again this year.   Ridiculously claiming that Republican fiscal policy will bring back segregation.

“I’ve seen this before, I lived this before,” he claimed, after extensively describing his activism in Southern states in the 1950 and 1960s. (more…)

The vast majority of Democrats are furious that Cardinal Dolan was allowed to pray at their convention.   They are furious.    Following on the heels of forced acceptance of God and religion in their party platform, and on the heels of a forced/manipulated floor vote to falsify acceptance of Israel and Jerusalem,  the base of the Democrat party is rabid with anger.

Allowing Cardinal Dolan to pray for the unborn, and pray for a pro-life/pro-family message was just too much.  His prayer became the straw that broke the camel’s back. The base of the Democrat party is in uproar:

The report’s weak tenor was also underscored by revisions to June and July data to show 41,000 fewer jobs created than previously reported. The labor force participation rate, or the percentage of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one, fell to 63.5 percent — the lowest since September 1981.

BLOOMBERG – Payrolls rose less than projected in August and the unemployment rate declined as more Americans left the labor force, indicating the U.S. labor market is stagnating.

The economy added 96,000 workers last month following a revised 141,000 rise in July that was smaller than initially estimated, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The median estimate of 92 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a gain of 130,000. Unemployment unexpectedly fell to 8.1 percent, and hourly earnings were unchanged. (more…)

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,” [Clint] Eastwood told The Pine Cone this week. “Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle.”  […]

“I had three points I wanted to make,” Eastwood said. “That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job. But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.”  (read more)

If you remember the Moonbatty Howard Dean “scream” campaign speech;  and if you saw the Moonbatty Jennifer Granholm speech last night during the DNC convention and her, well, bizarro behavior…….  you just knew someone was going to mash them together.

Below is the original speech from Granholm last night.  It is funnier than the mash up in my opinion. (more…)

Ahhh, thank heaven the circuses are over, and political discord can advance to the next-to-last stage of smash mouth positioning.    Both sides have had their turn at their highly visible, yet self-indulgent, pep rallies and now it’s time to get down to business.

Smash Mouth Politics

The remainder of September will be filled with punch, and counter-punch, bantering with media pundits keeping score on who lands the most effective blows.   Let the Games Begin, only this year certainly looks more like a cage match blood sport in the works.

Desperation always brings out the very ugliest in Democrats, the more desperate they are the more ugly they become.   Remember the fleabaggers in Wisconsin who bolted for Illinois when they were crushed in the election?   Yup, it is THAT exact level of despair amid the closed circle types of left-wing politicos we are about to witness.
