I bought this shirt. Or so I think, considering I gave TeeFury my credit card info three hours ago, but I still haven’t received an email confirming my purchase. Anyone else having this problem?

Hope he gets it.

Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, but did you know he also won the Stanley Cup?

President Obama Calling Kanye West A Jackass
Leave it to TMZ to obtain the audio of Obama’s now-infamous off-the-record “jackass” remark made just prior to an interview with CNBC.
This is everything I hoped it would be.

Yesterday, I noted that Florida’s GOP Chair Jim Greer had heard about President Barack Obama’s intention to address the schoolchildren of America on the occasion of the start of a new school year, and went quite mental, warning darkly that the address was nothing more than a dastardly inculcation into socialism and a viral spread of liberal propaganda. Naively, I imagined this would be a derangement confined to a few weird nobodies, but, duh, I forgot: everyone is crazy now. So, this matter has thus become a Thing. Let’s dispense with the highlights!

Right, because killing 6 million innocent people and trying to provide health care for 50 million Americans are pretty much the same thing.

Obama Is The Anti-Christ? →
The fine folks at WorldNetDaily — the wingnut outfit that was the original source of most of the Birther conspiracy theories, and remains their most ardent defender — has a new theory it wants to trot out for mainstream consumption.
An American Christian has produced a brief film for YouTube that connects one statement by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke to President Barack Obama.
His 4-minute video focuses on the direct quote: “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” (Luke 10:18)
“When I started doing a little research, I found the Greek word for ‘lightning’ is ‘astrape’, and the Hebrew equivalent is ‘Baraq,’” said YouTube contributor “ppsimmons,” a self-described Christian with a theological education and many years in the ministry, who spoke to WND under condition of anonymity out of concern for members of his local church. “I thought that was fascinating.”
As he continued looking into the rest of the words in the phrase, he focused on “heaven,” and found that it can refer not just to God’s dwelling place, but also “the heights” or “high places.”
He then recalled Isaiah 14:14, where Lucifer, another name for Satan, is quoted as saying, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
“I wondered what the word ‘heights’ is,” said ppsimmons, “and I looked it up in the dictionary, and it’s ‘Bamah.’”
Thus, on the video, the announcer notes, “If spoken by a Jewish rabbi today, influenced by the poetry of Isaiah, He (Jesus) would say these words in Hebrew … ‘I saw Satan as Baraq Ubamah.’”

House Passes Resolution, Obama is a Citizen →
This evening, the House passed a resolution sponsored by Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) that commemorates Hawaii’s 50th anniversary as a U.S. state by a vote of 378-0. The resolution also contains this provision: “Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii,” a measure that some GOP members may have had trouble supporting. However, many of the Republican representatives who at expressed at least subtle doubt that Obama was not born in the U.S. voted for the resolution. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who had earlier in the day prevented the resolution from coming to a voice vote on the House floor, and Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL), who sponsored a bill requiring presidential candidates to prove natural-born citizenship, both voted for the resolution. Rep. John Campbell (R-CA), a co-sponsor of Posey’s bill who expressed doubt about Obama’s citizenship last week on MSNBC, did not vote.
Amusing, but not exactly meaningful. To quote Jon Stewart, “That’s great… now fix the economy.”
