Obama, Lesbos and... and "why so serious?"
The Savior of All Mankind Tour now underway... let the fawning begin.
Our Messiah (sans The Amazon) is now off playing world leader where every leader he meets will will have far more experience, political savvy and insight than this political poseur.
And all of them will probably speak more than their native language....
Merci beaucoup?
How embarrassing... Shouldn't he be home tutoring his daughters in Spanish?
Stay tuned to gaffes-a-plenty mixed with overriding and crushing boredom.

The National Organization of (Ugly) Women...
... attended some nut-roots convention in Austin last week and ballyhooed their presence by proclaiming:
No Capes, No Masks, No Boundaries:
Feminist Super-Women Unite!
Apparently, this is a junior high attempt to portray womyn as not equals but superior to men in every way; and, it's a not so subtle rip on "Dark Knight"... a good guys' movie-- the the latest in the Batman franchise.
Some press release highlights:
"We need not be superhuman heroes who fly or dodge bullets -- our pride, passion and resilience make us extraordinary. (My coaches always told me that if you keep insisting to you're the greatest, you ain't.)
Here are some of NOW's superior-because-they-are-female heroes heroines:
Barbara Hillary-- first black women to go to the North Pole (and at 75 years old). Okayyyy????
Lilly Ledbetter -- "she spoke out against wage discrimination, igniting a fierce battle that reached the U.S. Supreme Court and the halls of Congress."
Wow... what an accomplishment; NOW doesn't mention what happened as a result.
Jehmu Green -- "used her legendary organizing skills to take Rock the Vote membership from 1500 to over one million during her tenure as president.
Double-wow... only the slacker numbskulls who watch MTV would have been slightly aware of this. But, here's the rub... the youth vote (18-24) targeted by Green is by far the lowest voter turnout (2000-2004) at 36%; the voter turn out for all ages was 61%.
She was apparently responsible for this dumbass' perplexing encouragement of democratic principles.
Super.
Here are more current NOW "super heroes": Donna Edwards, Patricia Ireland, Nancy Redd, Irshad Manji, Marie Cocco, and Dr. Erika Falk.
Except for Ireland (a NOW prez) as anyone ever heard of a single one of them? Didn't think so.
Readers are welcome to send me the names women who are truly making a difference in the community, state, nation through their intelligence, hard work, dedication, service and sacrifice instead of bitching about a "glass ceiling", blaming men, and cheering the murder of children in the womb.
And finally in NOW Lesbian news (this is funny):
Dimitris Lambrou, is suing, the Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece because of 'insults the identity' of people on Lesbos, known as Lesbians. "Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies," he said.
Hey... they ain't no ladies.
Understandably, Dimitris wants them to find a new name.
With great conviction, he said he and his wife and daughter "are Lesbians." It's a matter of geography and not sexual orientation.
LM31 welcomes CLEAVER (not vile) new names for the gals with chains attaching their truckers wallets to their belts.
Sorry, Hap. Even the Navy knows they don't "own" the Marines.
But I like "Beaver Bandits". A little long, and a little crude, but a good (and funny) place to start.
I, myself, am a "Beaver Bandit" trapped in a man's body.
The limited voting block of Lesbos residents is not likely to change the language even in their own country, so I don't think we need worry about it.

Hap Owning the Marines is like putting a choke collar on a tiger. Go ahead. Yank it. Just once.

"LM31 welcomes CLEAVER (not vile) new names for the gals with chains attaching their truckers wallets to their belts."
Would that be 'Meat' or 'Theodore (Beaver)' Cleaver? Which suggests....in keeping with the military theme of this blog, how 'bout 'Beaver Bandit Battalion' for the chicks in chains? Very alliterative....
Signed: Hap Arnold, a blue-suiter what nevuh seen one o' them fancy-schmancy AF "luxury pods" mentioned in the prior blog. BTW, did I mention that the USAF became a SEPARATE military service branch way back in '47, while the USMC remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of the USN?
