OBAMA'S JOB-DESTROYING MACHINE GRINDS ON:

I can’t figure out whether it is due to malice or incompetence; all I know is, if you wanted to hurt America’s economy, you would do pretty much everything the Obama administration does.

Commenter Vova Khavkin responds: "I guess it's both -- monumental incompetence that is characteristic of all quota appointees and malice driven by intense hate for our country."

FIVE LESSONS learned from the European fiscal crisis. The video is worthy, but the real lesson is in the chart at the bottom.

KATHLEEN PARKER: The Palinization of the GOP. Parker's commentary simply drips with condescension.

Translated: "We are the liberals, the intellectual elite, the guardians of knowledge, and the font of all scientific wisdom. Therefore anyone who has the temerity to disagree with us must be an illiterate religious bigot like Sarah Palin."

OCCUPYFAIL: Where are the occupiers?

LEFT'S BIG GREEN AGENDA abuses the working poor. It's not just the poor.

TIME TO think about adoption?

CHANGING SEASONS VI: 20 November 2011


Part VI of a series. Only a week later and almost no leaves left.

WHY OCCUPY A TENT when you can occupy a luxury hotel?

MEMO TO WASHINGTON: Kick the spending habit!

TAKE AWAY THEIR ALLOWANCES: Capitalism's spoiled children.

By sheer coincidence, I received this in my email today:

My daughter just walked into the living room and said " Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out the window, take my TV, stereo, iPod, iPhone and my laptop. Please take all my jewelry to the Salvation Army or cash converters. Then sell my new car. Take the front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Disown me and never talk to me again. Write me out of your will and leave my share to my brother."

Well, she didn't put it quite like that. She actually said, "Dad, I've decided to work for Obama's re-election campaign."

Sounds right to me.

OCCUPY D.C. CAMPS are protesting the right way.

Yeah, breaking the law is the 'right' way.

"IF A TINY GROUP of committed Utopian socialists can’t create a tiny socialist Utopia when it’s just them in a park, where is this notion likely to succeed?"

JEEZ: paying students not to go to law school. Is this like paying farmers not to grow crops? If so, consider me in. I'll gladly not go to law school and not grow anything in my garden for a modest payment from your tax dollars.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC.

While I'm not particularly religious, I miss the days when patriotism was the rule and not the exception.

GOD'S DIVERSITY PLAN:

God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.

He inquired, "Where have you been?"

God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look,
Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"

"It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on it.. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused.."

God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things."

God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"

"That's North Dakota, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful rolling prairies, rivers and streams, hills, and plains. The people from North Dakota are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God smiled, "I will create Washington, D.C. Wait till you see the idiots I put there.

It worked.

BECAUSE that's where the money is. I wondered about that myself.
