Obama forgets
How big is it?
I appreciate that the BBC are a tad fond of Barack Hussein Obama, but, honestly. This from their front page right now:
Once today’s celebrations have concluded, Barack Obama will be faced with the stiffest challenges facing a new American president for a generation.What? Some banks and a couple of car manufacturers being in trouble are stiffer challenges than September the 11th? On what planet?
Well…

The Barack Obama paper plate
Too Much Information
What’s Barack and Michelle ’s secret to keeping their relationship fresh? Skip to around 1:45 to find out.
Only time will tell if the “Obama Trombone” will enter the lexicon like the “Dirty Roosevelt” or the “Grover Cleveland Steamer.”
Goths and other chavy minority groups
Establishing an ethnic group:
There’s also this article: a woman whose daughter was murdered for dressing up as Goth says that people who do dress like that should be protected under hate crime laws. She demands it should apply on the grounds that it’s a “different culture”!
While I completely agree that people shouldn’t be attacked for the clothes they wear, this is a complete joke. Dressing up in dark clothes is completely different from being part of a minority group - it’s akin to the laws against religious discrimination because it’s a choice, a belief - it’s nothing at all like race/sex/sexuality. Like one of the comments says “Would this mean we would no-longer be able to call Chavs, Chavs? Although abundant throughout the country they are different“
Sticks and stones…
French anthem is a protest song
French Socialists, unhappy about reform of article 13 of the Constitution (Presidential powers, by the look of things) etc etc decided to make a scene.
The anthem as a form of protest:
Legoland inauguration
Legoland Obama:
White phosphorus investigated
Islam Supermicists in Melbourne
It’s not about the Jews…
Julie Andrews’ Botox and nose drops
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Obama’s bullet-proof suit and the KKK
Anorak reader Cheryl writes from the US:
President Obama took the oath of Office again tonight in the White House with Justice Roberts. Turns out after the mix-up in verbage yesterday, an hour afterwards a who else but a reporter made the remark it may not be legal, since it did not follow the exact verbage in the Constitution. Of course, that remark with others comments was printed in newpapers today. Even though we have been assured yesterday’s was THE ONE never hurts to repeat it again ‘just to shut the critics up’ (that’s my feeling re the critics not what was said on TV awhile ago).
Another tidbit of gossip on the late news is that President Obama’s suit yesterday was bullet proof! A lot of firsts for this country, that is for sure. We have our first Black President, the Presidential limo is in reality a tank and he wears bullet proof clothes.
I’ve watched many inaugurations over my life but none like yesterdays. Put my TV on a 6 a.m. and turned it off at 3 a.m. this morning seldom leaving the room and the boys starved or had to make their own food. The only thing that didn’t happen that I half-way expected was there was no small earthquake during the day. I expected that to happen from all the dead slave owners and KKK turning over in their graves!
