It’s Nice To Know The Media Is Finally Reporting On Obama’s Iraq Plan, But They Aren’t Giving Me Credit

Finally, the media is reporting that Obama is actually extending US combat troop deployments in Iraq longer than the Bush plan.  It’s something I reported several days ago, and was met with some skepticism. I just wish they’d give me a little credit for uncovering it for them.

Oh For Crying Out Loud: Most Technology Savvy Administration Forgets “Number” Of Government Website.

I know, I know … it’s Biden, and he’s an idiot. That doesn’t act as an excuse. First he forgets Recover.Gov … then he asked what the “number” of the website is.

Here’s the vid.

Yes Biden, you should be embarrassed.

Obama Incorrectly Says America Invented The Automobile

Remember when he was embarrassed by Toyota when he incorrectly gave Toyota’s fleet average in mpg? He messed up again.

Tonight Obama said that the US invented the automobile, but we didn’t. In fact, the US was the fourth nation to come up with an automobile.

Obama To Keep Combat Troops In Iraq More Than A Year Longer Than Bush Was!

Today the AP is reporting that Obama will remove US combat troops from Iraq by August 2010, and that all US troops will be pulled out by December 2011. On the surface this looks good for Obama supporters, but Obama can’t take credit for getting US troops out of Iraq. That was ALL Bush.

In fact, before the election, Bush and the Iraqis signed the agreement to get all US troops out of Iraq by December 2011. So Obama can’t get any credit for that date of withdrawal. Especially since it was in the works for over a year at the time it was signed last November.

However, all US troops is different than US combat troops. So when did Bush say he would withdraw all US combat troops? Bush signed an agreement with the Iraqis to have all US combat troops out of Iraq by June 30, 2009. You’ll notice the date released by the Obama administration to have all US combat troops out of Iraq was August 2010. So Bush was actually going to withdraw our combat troops 14 earlier than Obama! So much for hopeandchange.

Breaking: Obama Has Created The Office Of Urban Affairs!

It just came across the news wire right now. I’ll post the order as soon as I get home.

It will coordinate the Departments of the Treasury, Justice, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, HUD, Transportation, Energy, Education, and EPA. It appears to now have the authority to supersede what local governments want for their communities.

Shocking Study: Men Want To Have Sex With Hot, Naked Women!

I am sooooo in the wrong business …

clipped from www.cnn.com

New research shows that, in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis.

The research was presented this week by Susan Fiske, professor of psychology at Princeton University, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

“This is just the first study which was focused on the idea that men of a certain age view sex as a highly desirable goal, and if you present them with a provocative woman, then that will tend to prime goal-related responses,” she told CNN.

Shocking, I know. A man sees a hot chick wearing sexy nothingness, and he has a goal to sleep with her. Who’d have thought?

OMG! This Is EXACTLY Why I Left Verizon Wireless!

I used to have Verizon Wireless years ago, but literally had to fight them every month because my bill was always wrong. The would always fight me with some idiot who could not do simple math … just like this.

The Stimulus Changes Everything, But No One In Congress Read It.

The sad truth is that he is 100% right.

We can all imagine several reasons why Congress broke their promise to allow all of us to read the bill before the vote, and rushed this thing through. Now we know that at least one reason is there is a vacation to get to.

Awesome Prank
