In his weekly op-ed column, Mark Steyn writes:
Investor’s Business Daily argues that the “health” debate is really a proxy fight on the size and role of government. According to their poll, 64 percent of people think the federal government has “too much power.” Correct. But a big chunk of that 64 percent voted less than 18 months ago for a man and a party explicitly committed to more government with more power, and they’re now living with the consequences. Obama is government, and government is Obama. That’s all he knows and all he’s ever known. You elected to the highest office in the land a man who’s never run a business or created wealth or made a payroll, and for his entire adult life has hung out with guys who’ve demonized (deemonized?) such grubby activities. Many of which associates he appointed to high office: Obama’s cabinet has less experience of private business than any in the last century. What it knows is government, and government’s default mode is to grow, and grow.
Read the whole thing.
Indeed.
Audrey III coming to a surgical theater near you.
Feed me! Feed me! Feed me!
Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
That’s right, boy
You can do it
Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
‘Cause if you feed me, Seymour
I can grow up big and strong
Would you like a Cadillac (insurance or)auto?
Or a guest shot on Rachel Maddow?
How about a date with Chairman Mao?
You gonna git it.
Would you like to be a big wheel,
Junkets paid for as is every meal?
I’m the hunter that can make it all Riehl
You gonna git it
I’m your genie, I’m your friend
You be my taxpaying slave
Won’t be no Massa, just feed me and
You know the kinda eats,
My deem and pass tricks, with bribery treats
The kinda kickback sweets
I crave
Come on, Seymour, don’t be a putz
Trust me and your life will surely rival King Tut’s
Show a little ‘nitiative, work up the guts
And you’ll git it
[SEYMOUR]
I don’t know. I don’t know
I have so, so many strong reservations
Should I go and perform legislative mutilations?
[AUDREY II]
Think about a room at the Ritz
Wrapped in velvet, covered in glitz
A little nookie cleaned up Eliot Spitz
And you too are gonna git it
[SEYMOUR]
Gee I’d like a Harley machine,
Toolin’ around like I was James Dean,
Makin’ all the corporations bleed red by turning green
[AUDREY II]
So go git it
If you wanna be profound
And you really gotta justify
Take a breath and look around
A lot of folks deserve to die (and we’re going to allow them)
[SEYMOUR, AUDREY II]
If you want a rationale
It isn’t very hard to see
Stop and think it over, pal
That teabagger sure looks like plant food to me.
[SEYMOUR]
She’s so nasty, treats Reid so rough,
[AUDREY II]
Pelosi smackin’ him around and always talkin’ so tough.
[SEYMOUR, AUDREY II]
The government needs blood and you voters got more than enough
[AUDREY II]
So go git it!
cfbleachers, that is priceless! If you recall the end, there are a bunch of those little weeds around the fence. Vote them all in and out on a regular basis!
