Well, that certainly clears the President of any spiritual wrongdoing. The Lexingtom Dispatch issued the accompanying retraction after first incorrectly printing that reader Boyd Thomas claimed President Obama is the Antichrist.
As much a relief as it is to scratch the President off the list the nagging question remains. For what it's worth my money, as to the evil genius, the future ruler of the world and unflinching source of total world dominion, is on this guy:
First Ann B. Davis dies in June . . . and now President Reagan's former press secretary. Man, it's been a tough Summer to be a Brady . . . .
Just when you think the accusations against Israel can't get any more silly or outrageous comes the story on Breitbart.com by Thomas Rose that the United Nations top human rights official has once again condemned Israel.
The charge against Israel by Navi Pillay?
"Deliberately defying International Law . . . in a way that constitutes war crimes."
Writes Rose:
The UN chairwoman criticized the U.S. for helping fund Israel's Iron Dome system which has saved countless Israeli and Palestinian lives. "No such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling," she said.
Just because Hamas fires rockets indiscriminately aimed at Israeli civilian population centers without provocation and fires them from within its own population centers does not “absolve” Israel from its own legal violations, Pillay told reporters Thursday.
Actually, Pillay may have a point. In this ever-evolving environment of equality for all, whatever the merit, the gap is widening between the ruthless winners in the world and us schubs who are upset because we sometimes get picked last in the company softball game.
In fact, the San Francisco Chronicle reported this morning the San Francisco Giants are considering suing the Los Angeles Dodgers for not allowing star pitcher Clayton Kershaw to throw for the Giants every other time his spot comes up in the rotation.
In addition USA Newtwork is complaining to the FCC that HBO refuses to run top rated Game Of Thrones free of charge on their channel and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has filed a grievance with God that she is not Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.
Sometimes life is so unfair.
It's not just the lower and middle class families struggling to make ends meet these days. Hard times have hit the White house as well. Money is tight enough for the First Family that the President and First Lady are looking to turn their kids out to earn a few dollars like Fagin in the musical Oliver!
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama suggested that they are actively searching for dead-end, low-paying jobs for their two daughters so the teenagers can appreciate the quiet desperation that millions of Americans experience.
“We are looking for opportunities for them to feel as if going to work and getting a paycheck is not always fun, not always stimulating, not always fair,” President Obama said in a hard-hitting interview in Parade magazine. “But that’s what most folks go through every single day.”
If Malia and Sasha can turn their famous energy into a little piggy bank cash it sure might help their parents from falling into the same poverty trap that befell Bill and Hillary Clinton when they first left The White House.
We can only hope . . .
Congressman Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in charge of the investigation of alleged misconduct by the Internal Revenue Service, has subpoenaed the hard drive of Lois Lerner. Lerner, the former agency official at the heart of the scandal claiming that the IRS targeted conservative groups for political reasons, was notified recently that several years worth of important emails subpoenaed by the committee have gone missing.
"The dog computer ate crashed and destroyed my homework the emails," Ms. Lerner was overheard saying to her teacher Chairman Issa. "Sometimes stuff just happens . . . "
As such, Issa has ordered Ms. Lerner's hard drive, along with several other devices used by her in the office—a thumb drive, a fax machine, an iPhone, the coffee maker, an ear hair and mustache removal system—to appear before The Committee as soon as possible.
It is not yet known if the hard drive, believed to be either a Western Digital or Seagate model, will cooperate with the fact-finding committee or if it will plead The Fifth Amendment, protecting its right against self-incrimination.
Should the failed drive follow Lerner's lead, Chairman Issa will likely offer a leniency deal to the other office machines for testimony leading to conviction and hard time for the hard drive.
