My brother, a talented but too-busy writer, “… was going to try to write Obamacon satire, but I can’t match this.”

I love Iowahawk’s take — he skewers the canapés-set take on “people like us” perfectly — but I think Smith’s is even better, which is saying a lot. Smith’s line on Israel — well, put down the drink and swallow thoroughly before you get to that line.

You can’t go wrong with either of these satires, even if the whole country’s about to go Carter-now-available-in-black wrong on the macro level.

See you all in re-ed camp. All the best people (although, perhaps, not as Coddington VII would define “best”) will be there!

Iowa Hawk is great. If we want to win, we need to get drive these phony blue blood country club types the leadership.

Its not surprising Chris Buckley et al. like Obama, he’s one of them. Harvard Law, Columbia, Private prep school, etc. His blackness has concealed what a typical Ivy-League Liberal Democrat he is. No different from Kerry or Dukakis.

David Gergen recently pointed out that the graduated income tax was introduced by Teddy Roosevelt and the earned income credit was introduced under Ronald Reagan. Those damn socialists! They probably got their ideas from that communist Jesus Christ.

Obama will destroy the USA. Bush has had the unenviable job cleaning up Clinton’s policies of the 90s. Spread the wealth? How f’kd up is that? Giving to others, what other hardworking Americans earned themselves? How does destroying others benefit the nation? Taxing only the wealthy? Wealthy will drive up the costs of the goods and services they produce, then everybody pays more. Facto, reduce the burden on all Americans, everyone benefits. Thank you for the fall of the good ole U S of A.
