THINGS THAT MAKE OBAMA CRY make me laugh. Be sure to scroll to the bottom.

YOU SAY "GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN" like it's a bad thing. My favorite comment: "I've just 'survived' the mayhem of the Minnesota State government shutdown, where we learned that it is the function of state government to license beer labels. Bring on the Federal Government shutdown."

We should shut the whole thing down and then restart only those parts the people notice.

SPACE-X CEO ELON MUSK: "I think we're at the dawn of a new era of spaceflight, one which is going to advance much faster than it ever has in the past."

OBAMA 3.0: "The sad thing now is that no one knows what the president will say about deficits on any given day, other than a rough (and often wrong) calculation of what he thinks will win in November 2012."

CORRECT: The One becomes The Jerk. "It’s one thing to try to act like an adult in the room, but when you try to act like the only adult in the room by holding your breath and stomping your feet, your cover’s been blown."

AFTER WATCHING THE PRESIDENT for the past 26 months I have determined he has two negotiating positions: Arrogant and petulant.

HEH. If the Obama phenomena is any indication, I'd agree that higher IQs are existential threats.

MORE: proof here.

WOULD YOU TRADE YOUR CAR for a lifetime pass on public transit? No, and here's why:

Cars didn’t shape our existence; cars let us escape with our lives. We’re way the heck out here in Valley Bottom Heights and Trout Antler Estates because we were at war with the cities. We fought rotten public schools, idiot municipal bureaucracies, corrupt political machines, rampant criminality and the pointy-headed busybodies. Cars gave us our dragoons and hussars, lent us speed and mobility, let us scout the terrain and probe the enemy’s lines. And thanks to our cars, when we lost the cities we weren’t forced to surrender, we were able to retreat.

HONEST DEMOCRAT wonders if Obama has any idea what he's doing.

He's not alone.
