The Joy of Barry
“‘Erotic’ Novel Featuring Barack and Michelle Obama on Sale Now:”
A new, erotic novel being described as “fan fiction,” which features the first couple as protagonists in chief, is now on sale.
Surely American literature has reached new heights with the publication of GuestHouse Games, in which Barack and Michelle Obama, “alone in their isolated beachfront guesthouse in the tropical paradise of Kailua, Hawaii,” are “drawn into the ancient Hawaiian spiritual world and into the exploration of their own deepest and most forbidden desires.”
As Dr. Strangelove’s Soviet Ambassador de Sadesky would say, their source was the New York Times, right around this time four years ago:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I needed to get into the bathroom to shave my legs, and then he was being yelled at by my husband, Max, for smoking in the house. It was not clear whether Max was feeling protective of the president’s health or jealous because of the cigarette.
Judith Warner, an early entrant into the Small Dead Animals’ blog’s overflowing file of “Take Me, Obama” moments from the MSM, explained why she was willing to admit her fantasies in public:
“This is the first president I’ve known who looks, talks and acts like a peer,” is how one Washington man explained it to me. “Notwithstanding his somewhat exotic life story, I feel like I understand what he’s like and where he’s coming from. And despite his incredible achievements, he still seems like a lot of people I know. If you stopped the clock in 2004, in fact, or maybe a couple of years earlier, he’d feel roughly like a peer in terms of accomplishments, too.
As I wrote at the time, “Which means that if he had an (R) after his name instead of a (D) that Washington man would be calling him grossly unqualified for the White House, instead of admiring his rapid rise to power and vapid, chameleonic style.”
And that dovetails well into another moment of Deja Barry from 2009, this one merely PG-13 rated. After we’ve all smoked a cigarette and caught our breath, click to the next page.
The left deifies all their presidents and presidential hopefuls, since they have to believe in some higher power (or in the case of Ms. Warner, want to believe they’re on the same plain with the higher power).
Come early 2015 or so, they’ll start settling on a new demigod on which to invest near-mystical abilities on to set up another ‘good v. evil’ presidential campaign. The nominee worship may not reach same level as their current icon, but at the very least on the levels of Bill Clinton or even Jimmy Carter when he first took office. It’s also why no matter what he may think right now, Joe Biden is not going to be the Democrats’ nominee in 2016 — there are just some bridges too far for even the big media to brainwash themselves over, and going into rapture over the political version of Jeffrey Tambor’s character from “Arrested Development” is one of them.
After the USSR joined Marx on the scrap heap of history, the Right said four decades of stiff US opposition culminating with the Reagan defense build up were what did the deed. The Left claimed Gorbachev pulled the plug.
When the MSM finally implodes, perhaps the Right will say their Obama-Democrat-crypto-Marxism killed them whereas the Left will say they were killed by the iPhone.
I like that ancient racist Mark Twain’s line: I won’t go to the funeral but I will send a note expressing my approval.
They’re so loud. LOUD. Why are we so quiet? Sure, we hang around here and yak at each other, but are we talking to our kids and co-workers and forwarding our thoughts to others?
Heck, I got into an almost argument with an ignorant bartender and was able to maybe point him in a direction that might lead to truth. But it was Very uncomfortable to my like-minded companions. PC has trained us well. We must resist the urge to be silenced, if you know what I mean.
I don’t want to be annoying. I just want the truth to be heard, and there are a lot of indoctrinated souls that have only ever heard one truth – and it is a LIE.
Fight. Win.
Yes. We MUST speak out more, engage others more. The trick is to find ways to do this that will reach people or at least get them to the point where they will question authority.
Couldn’t agree more, and in my somewhat limited, humble experiences, there is/are only a few effective ways of doing ‘this thing’
The Trick is to make those you speak with think, imagine or semi-delude
themselves into making your spoken ideas, their inate ideas. [in their thoughts and minds]
It takes some doing and No, you’re not always going to be successful, especially at first. But it is more than possible, even probable, if you can possibly make your subject matter personal, and how it ‘effects them’. [right here and now ]
I was, [until this crunch that seems to never end ] a Constuction Inspector involved in Heavy Civil construction,such as Roads, Sewers, Water Mains, Dams, etc. I found the most effective way ‘to plow the road’ was to sound out my opposites[i e, Contractors] and see/hear what bothered them most about what my trade ‘Did To’ them. Then, after mentally noting what they would be ‘looking for’, I did not Do That. There were other ways to get what was needed, and they were used, again and again.
Reactions were astounding, to say the least. ” You’re not like any inspector I ever met..”, was a commmon refrain. Co-operation was always more forthcoming, Ease of Job progress was noted continually by many concerned, and my job actually got to be semi-enjoyable. My last project was valued at over $15 Million in 2001 dollars and I was ‘requested’ to the site, for it’s duration, by The Guy Who Approved The Bills, in the city I was contracted to.
This method has carried over into most everything I do or say. It’s admittedly not always successful , but more often than not it opens doors, and makes ‘em think, and progress comes from thinking……
…and that is after all, what we’re after. We gotta start somewhere.
Make It ‘Their’ Idea, Marilena. See what happens.
Freedom and Liberty, to All and Sundry. You had them Both at Birth and are going to have to fight to keep them…….
wait till the re-education begins, as it always does.
Begins? What is political correctness but a multi-generational re-eduction process?
well gotcha’ed Mr. Driscoll.
(btw: your articles since Atlantis slipped below the waves last November have exceeded your previous high standards. Thanks for laying the truth on the table.)
Many have remarked that Obama gets clear sailing because he is black. But I only recently noticed that a great part of appeal lies in the fact that he is slender and trim. None of his supporters will admit this.
Oh, yes: “Cult of Personality” porn. A new thing!
Here’s perhaps the strangest and ugliest example of celebrity cult-of-personality porn I’ve ever seen.
I note that John Judis fails to mention the mega-deaths and remarkable suffering caused by Marxist ideology while really laying it on thick about how bad capitalism.
He mentions “corruption” under capitalism yet there is no mention of breadlines and starvation for the little people while the Party bosses drove limo’s to their McDaches and dined on caviar and fine vodkas. There is no mention of mass deportations, gulags, secret police….and perhaps more central to folks like John Judis the targeted assassination of reporters and journolists (sp) that have the temerity to publically disagree with the party line.
His comments are a reflection of how poorly-educated and feckless the Left has become. In a more responsible time Judis would be ashamed of himself these days I imagine he does not even notice how strange and offensive his comments really are.
