ALTERNATE UNIVERSE - CODEPINK protests Obama's visit to Notre Dame

In the "ALTERNATE UNIVERSE" department, I ask, "What if the ultra-wacko gals from CODEPINKO finally realized the hypocrisy of their militant anti-war (especially in the defense of this country) and pro-abortion (advocating unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand).

Notre Dame's invitation to Pro-infanticide president Obama has resulted in a constant stream of demonstrators getting arrested. The latest batch of protesters in defense of human life finding themselves "cuffed and roughed" were ladies from the pro-life group CODEPINK.

The CODEPINK ladies carried a lengthy sign that read "WE WILL NOT RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO KILL ANOTHER MOTHER'S CHILD".


When asked for clarification as to the meaning of this message, the spokeslady for the group stated, "It used to mean that our children would never become soldiers in the defense of this country under any circumstances, and that we would have been 'tickled pink' if our sons instead had become gay Miss America judges who threw hissy fits at conservative babes. Now that our pyschotic out-of-control progesterone levels have been brought under control, we now realize what a horror the so-called 'pro-choice' movement really is. So when we say, 'WE WILL NOT RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO KILL ANOTHER MOTHER'S CHILD,' it refers to our refusal to allow our children to grow up to become abortion doctors in this obamanation.

Only slight changes necessary for CODEPINK to come over from the dark side.

"Arise then...women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts! From the bosom of a devastated Earth mother and child, a voice goes up with Our own. It says: Disarm! Disarm! LIFE! LIFE!"— Julia Ward Howe, Mother's Day Proclamation, 1870 Chattering Teeth, ND Commencement Day Proclamation, 2009

This Mother's Day Commencement Day, we held our second 24-hour vigil in front of the White House Golden Dome, where we honored all mothers and women who live where war abortions are happening— where women and their babies are paying the price with their bodies, loved ones, homes, future. We wanted to recognize the price they pay and honor their courage and power, by standing with them in solidarity to not only tell their important stories but to model what women-centered community looks and acts like.

We continued our call for our troops Obama to GO come home from Afghanistan and Iraq Notre Dame so that no more mothers will suffer the unbearable grief of losing a child to these wars Godless Liberals. And with your help, we have also sent a message of sorrow, friendship and peace directly to the women suffering in occupation from the democrat party and their families.

Transcript of Obama’s WHCD Speech from an Alternate Universe Where He’s Capable of Making Fun of Himself and Not Just Taking Thinly Veiled Shots at His Detractors

Successful entrepreneurs told by Obama, "No franchise for you!"

PICTURED: Joe Biden asks Obama a question while lunching recently at a Ray's Burger Hell: "Mister president, are you finished with the Jesse Jackson's fried nuts?"


In other, totally unrelated news...
Between GM and Chrysler, over 2,300 U.S. auto dealers have been given a pink slip and an Obama swift kick.
The unprecedented closures under the direction of the Obama administration put an estimated 100,000 jobs at risk and showed the economic pain from the collapse of the two Detroit-based automakers.

Ripples to be felt by this? More like a riptide through the economy, sucking many many more jobs out to into the Obamasea.

RUSH: It is a crying shame what is happening to the US automobile industry. I mean, this really makes sense, doesn't it? Here, we're going to save the automobile industry. We're going to get rid of 4,000 dealerships, making the cars invisible and hard to find and we're gonna cut our advertising budgets in half, that's right. And that's really going to help us sell cars. A tragedy, is what it is.

Chattering Teeth Exclusive!
Obama now moves on to "save" the hamburger industry by forcing the closure of McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, and all other burger joints not named Ray's Hell Burger. It is unclear what the plans are for the existing inventories of patties at these franchises. I'm sure the SOBOTUS will think of something.

So now I have to travel 10 hours to the nearest Ray's Hell Burger location for my fast food fix. What happens if I get the bag home from the 20-hour roundtrip only to discover I am missing the order of fries? That's a long drive to get my order serviced.

Skipping Commencements

Some Notre Dame Students to Forego Commencement in Protest of Obama Visit

Good for them.

I'm thankful that my son at Notre Dame doesn't graduate for a couple more years. Not just because I am in no hurry for the kids to "grow up", but because I would have hated to miss his graduation over that S.O.B. Obama giving the commencement address. Hey, I like that! The SOBOTUS. Maybe it's already been used before. The internets is a big and scary place, afterall. But if I indeed coined the phrase, everyone has my permission to use the term freely.

I remember several years ago there was a parade of some sorts down Main Street Davison, Michigan (hometown of Michael Moore, and current hometown of DaBlade). We always took the kids to the parades and secured a front curb seat for the candy. Anyway, here comes ultra-lib democrat Rose Bogardus, waving from the back seat of a car in the parade. As she approached, I simply stood up and turned my lawn chair around and sat back down with my backside to the street. After she passed, I stood and turned the chair forward again. It was clear to all (including Bogardus) what I thought of her. Maybe that's how I would handle the SOBOTUS graduation speech. Headphones and my backside.

HEY SCUMBAG!

When you spread the universe around, it's good for everybody

DARK ENERGY, it is theorized, produces a repulsive force in space and is causing the expansion rate of the universe to accelerate by 74.2 kilometers per second per megaparsec, which coincidentally is the same expansion rate of the U.S. deficit under Obama. Weird, huh?

What is the nature of this dark energy that is causing the total expansion of everything? The Hubble telescope just may be providing the answer.


The funniest (and saddest) thing I've read today (so far)
Barack Obama's Declaration of Dependence

White House jazz and hip-hop poetry slam

The first ever White House Poetry Slam will be hosted by the Obama's tonight. The featured performers include James Earl Jones, who happens to possess one of my very favorite voices.

"Luke, I am your father!"

"Simba! You deliberately disobeyed me!"

"People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door, innocent as children, longing for the past." - Field of Dreams

Sneak Preview of James Earl Jones' poetry slam


According to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, it is generally felt that Joe Biden has the most to gain from the Alphabet poem.

Oh, and some professional slam poet named Mayda Del Valle will be there, as well as jazz pianist ELEW. It is not known if Wanda Sykes will make a repeat performance of "Roses are red, Limbaugh's kidneys are blue". There could be surprise performances by Reverend Wright, with his ever popular "G-- D--- America" slam; and possibly Iran's own Mahmood Akmadeenadude, performing "Armageddon Thru To Jew?"

Maya Angelou is always good for a mish-mash of random words that are fawned over like they hold some cryptic deeper meaning. Sort of like Obama "hisself".

Wanda Sykes named as the new Obamacare czar

The messiah-in-chief claims that Obamacare could save U.S. trillions.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will aim on Monday to build support for a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system by highlighting a drive for greater efficiency he predicts could save trillions of dollars.

Blah, blah, blah. Of course, to position ourselves to save these trillions, The One will need to "invest" a few gazillions. Sure there will be upfront costs in providing health care to the 48 million unisured healthy Americans and some 20 million illegal aliens., but we can save gobs in "streamlining paperwork". Think of it as "creating health" in the same way he has been "creating wealth".

OBAMA: When you spread the health around, it’s good for everybody.

JOE THE PLUMBER: What if I have "plumbing problems", if you know what I mean. Say the ol' "garbage disposal" is backing up, or the pipes are leaking. How is your plan gonna help me?

OBAMA: My attitude is that if health is good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. Besides Joe, I thought the media had already given you a colonoscopy?

JOE THE PLUMBER: I was talking about my friend, Rush Limbaugh.

OBAMA: Oh, him. Well part of our savings in health care is elimination of coverage for conservatives. We'd just let his kidneys fail. Did I mention that I've named Wanda Sykes as the new Obamacare czar?

Happy Mother's Day

Hanging in the study are 3 framed 3rd grade school assignments on why "I Love My Mom" from our 3 boys. The scans didn't come out legibly, so I retyped the text below (with a few editorial comments from Dad, of course). These sentiments from her boys are on the wall next to her computer, so mom will always remember how much she is loved. For me, these assignments represent a snapshot into the distinct personalities of our boys take from when they were roughly the same age.

The first "Dear Mother" is from Adam, our oldest. He just recently completed his sophomore year at Notre Dame and is doing splendidly, so PLEASE do not call protective services after reading his work. It was all a misunderstanding. How many times does his mom have to tell him, "NO WIRE HANGERS!"?

Dear Mother,
You're the best person I know. So what if you're mad at me sometimes. You care for me when I'm sick, and you even let us go in the road with our rollerblades! But that doesn't matter now.

You taugh(t) us how to be kind by reminding us to make a card for our sick cousin. You're pretty kind yourself, if you know what I mean! Wait! One last thing. I guess I'm just saying, you're the best mom!

Love, Adam

Now comes Joe, our middle child, who will be entering his senior year of high school in the fall. Apparently, the "many reasons" are all inclusive below. There are 3 reasons, and he very precisely lists them through and including "The last reason". He was just reading this over my shoulder, so I asked him if his list of reasons had grown at all over these last 8 years. "She's appreciated," he said, in reference to some rapper named Too Pock(?) whatever. Oh, the innocence of youth...

Dear Mom.
You're nice in many ways. I Love you because you are kind. Another reason I Love you is, if I'm sick you always are there. The last reason I Love you is you are always at my hockey games. I'm glad you're my Mom.

Love, Joe

Now for Josh, our baby, who will be entering into his Freshman year of high school in the fall. Obviously, a poet, or just a kid sucking up for his next meal?

Mom,
I love your cooking. It tastes like a piece of heaven. Thank you for the putter that you got me. Thank you for letting my friends come over. I love you! I know you love me! Thanks alot for helping me with my prep books and school homework. You're the best mom in the world!
Love, Josh

I'll take the "Fetal Hand Grasp" over the "Obama Fist Bump" any day

PICTURED: Meet Samuel Armas. He is a strong and healthy 9-year-old boy who lives with his family in Georgia. His mother Julie says that Samuel has a "very strong sense of right and wrong”. Is there is something about Samuel that looks vaguely familiar?

Look closely at those hands. Chances are, you've seen one of them before in his first baby photo. Samuel was only a twenty-one week old fetus who had just had successful surgery in utero. After the surgery, but before the C-section incision was closed, little Samuel must have decided to thank his doctor. Out pops Samuel's hand and closes on the doctor's extended finger for the now famous "hand shake".

It's almost as if Samuel was saying from his mother's womb, "Samuel Armas here, good to meetcha doc! I appreciate what you've done for me here. Don't take this the wrong way, but it's getting a lttle drafty in here. Can you close me in for another 4 or 5 months? I promise, we'll catch up then over lunch. Have your people call my mother."

That Little Hand from the Womb: Samuel Armas still Reaching Out for Life

In the propaganda war which has sadly convinced many that dismembering children in the womb - or killing them through chemical strikes - is some form of “health care”; it communicates the truth by exposing the evil behind every procured abortion.

Mister president, at what point does a baby deserve human rights?

OBAMA: “Whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”

You, sir, are an Obamanation and a disgrace.

Do yourself a favor and visit the photographer's home page
www.michaelclancy.com
Read his "first-hand" acccount (pun intended) of the tense surgery and how he got the shot he titled "Fetal Hand Grasp". Watch the sequence of stills of this event, but have some tissue nearby. It will take your breath away.

"As we enter into Mothers Day weekend we need to remember the women who were lied to concerning what really occurred in the Abortion they had. These mothers continue to suffer and are also victims."

Deeply religious Obama just can't squeeze in one more thing and skips National Day of Prayer

Pictured: Obama and Biden order burgers at Ray's Hell Burger. The president's handlers surreptitiously placed a teleprompter on the counter cleverly disguised as a chalk board menu.


Remember when McCain Called for a debate delay during the campaign in order to focus on the blossoming financial crisis? Obama's teleprompter instructed him to rebuff McCain's request to fly back to Washington, thus winning him political points.

September 24, 2008, in response to McCain:
OBAMA: "A president is going to have to deal with more than one thing at a time."

He added: "If there were ever a time for both candidates to hold a debate before the American people about this serious challenge, it is now."

Fast forward: President Obama makes a guest appearance on the 'Tonight Show’ to chat it up with Leno and to make fun of Special Olympian bowlers. This was the first time a sitting president makes such an appearance, and so he was asked whether the television stint distracted from his work to fix the economy.

March. 19, 2009, in response to his critics:
OBAMA: "I can do more than one thing at a time and am working on a host of issues, including climate change and health care reform."

Joe "The Simple-minded democrat": See there!? Obama is a multi-tasker. Unlike Bush, President Obama can walk and chew gum at the same time! Ha Ha!

Apparently, even our SUPER HUMAN president has his limits, for while he had time to wait in line yesterday for a hamburger with his vice president (and the full regiment of enchanted press corp followers covering this huge story and taking pictures from every angle), he just can't seem to make room for God.

Obama to be prayer day no-show
"President Obama is distancing himself from the National Day of Prayer by nixing a formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning."

OBAMA: You thought the Hell burger that I had for lunch yesterday was big, well I've got a lot more on my plate today. Get this... I will be spending the day signing a proclamation honoring the day. I couldn't possibly work in one more thing. Well, I might have time to walk Bo, but that's it! Maybe a few quick smokes on the back porch, but other than that, my schedule is booked! My lack of attendance at the prayer service should in no way insinuate that I harbor utter disdain for those bitter clingers.

PRESS SEC. GIBBS: "Prayer is something the president does every day. We're doing a proclamation, which I know that many administrations in the past have done. The proclamation was Mr. Obama's choice. That's the way the president will publicly observe National Prayer Day - privately, he'll pray as he does every day."

If there were ever a time for both candidates The President to hold a debate pray with the American people during these serious challenges, it is now.

"...Privately, he'll pray as he does every day."

Kneeling on a rug facing East, no doubt.

Late Night Crickets

What's so unfunny? Political comedians and their 'hero worship' of Obama.

Not only do late night comics NOT make fun of the target-rich environment that is our teleprompter President because they share his manifesto for America, they are still stuck on Bush/Cheney. It's actually rather sad.

DISCLAIMER: This video is a representative sample of David Lettermen "performing" patently unfunny material. Nothing to see here. Maybe this is why I haven't watched him in 30-some years.


DAVID LETTERMAN: What really can you say wrong about the determined new president?

JAY LENO: Today was President Obama's 100th day in office. Isn't that amazing? Actually, when you think about it, George W. Bush was president for eight years, and he never came close to spending 100 days in the office. So, we're way ahead.

CRICKETS: Chirp, chirp, chirp.

Sit on it Jenkins!

I know I seem fixated on this whole Notre Dame/Obama controversy, but I guess it has me torque off. I'm sure I will move on to other areas of interest after he gives his little speech on May 17th.

PICTURED: Notre Dame University replaces the statue of the Virgin Mary atop the Goldem Dome with that of a large Obama Chia Head in honor of the presidents' commencement visit.



The president of Notre Dame, Father Arthur Fonzi... I mean Father Jenkins, met with an ND alumni group and defended his decision to invite Obama to speak at this year's commencement. [source]

As he has repeatedly stated publicly, he reaffirmed that The University of Notre Dame is unequivocally and firmly committed to the Catholic teachings about the sanctity of life, and the protection of life. Father Jenkins stressed that Notre Dame’s fundamental commitment is to God, but the University also has a tradition of expressing respect for the political order by offering the elected leader of our nation an honorary degree.

Did Jenx really say, "...God, but"? Fr. Jenkins got a big ol' butt (oh yeah?)

I am sick and tired of this push to water down what should be absolutes. Jeb Bush said Saturday that it's time for the Republican Party to give up its "nostalgia" for the heyday of the Reagan era. Should Catholics do likewise and give in to the desecrators of life? What do you say Jenx? Should Catholics stop being "nostalgic" for the heyday of the era of the sanctity of life? Thank goodness Jenx wasn't around for input on the Declaration of Independence, or it might go a little somethin' like this:

"...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness... BUT I don't want to be rude, so all of these terms are negotiable."

QUESTION: "What was with the Arthur Fonzarelli reference?"
ANSWER: Just like the Fonz, Jenx just can't seem to say he was wr-wr- wr... wro... wrrrrr... WRONG! Other than that, he has more in common with Potsy throwing airballs over the backboard. Yes, it's true I loved Happy Days. Look for the Fonz stutter at 1:40ish:

LCAHL TIGERS DAY AT COMERICA PARK

[click here for more pics] My Album

What a great day for baseball, even for us diehard hockey fans and the knowledge that our hometown hockey heros were also playing just down the road. Prior to the game, all Little Caesar Hockey Champions and their coaches took to the field for a photo op and acknowledgement from the announcer. Each youth hockey team was sporting their colors, with the Flint 94's in their home darks. The scoreboard scrolled the champion teams by division to applause. Very cool! Then it was back to our seats for the 1PM start. The Tigers (and Verlander) did their part to complete a great day at the park with a 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

As for the Wings... nevermind. I take full responsibility for their triple overtime defeat at the hand of the Ducks. Had I been home in front of my 9-inch black-and-white t.v. screen, this never would have happened. Apparently the hockey gods do not appreciate my galavanting around to other sporting events just as much as they have made it clear that my big HD widescreen LCD is OFF LIMITS during the playoffs.

Notre Dame's new motto: "Obama, Country, Notre Dame"

Notre Dame has recently redesigned the carved inscription above the side door entrance to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. What used to read "God, Country, Notre Dame" now proudly declares "Obama, Country, Notre Dame."

Not really, but my cheap cut-and-paste job more accurately reflects the universities' and U.S. Catholics' priorities.

*******************************

PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST ARRESTED FOR PROTESTING INFANTICIDE ON THE GROUNDS OF NOTRE DAME
This, from a so-called "Catholic University?" Arrested was none other than Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue. What is he guily of? Take a look.

“Stop Obama at Notre Dame”
Our Mission:
1) Stop President Obama from Speaking at Notre Dame on May 17 by peaceful protests;
2) The dismissal of Rev. Jenkins as Notre Dame President.
Our Secondary Mission:
1) If Obama decides to run again in 2012, we have politically tarred him with the blood of babies in such a way that he cannot win;
2) Create such peaceful havoc that no other Catholic University commits this treachery;
3) Recruit and train new warriors to defend Life and Truth in “on the job” training.

This is blasphemy against The One, the most high Lord Barack Hussein Obama! The state has incarcerated Mr. Terry, while at the same time Obama works to release the terrorists from Guantanamo.

*******************************

A Pew Research survey shows Catholics approve of the decision by Notre Dame to invite President Obama to give the Commencement address and receive an honorary degree by a decisive margin, 50-28. But the difference between practicing and non-practicing Catholics is profound. Practicing Catholics disapprove by a margin of 45-37 while non-practicing Catholics approve 56-23.

CAFETRIA CATHOLIC: A Catholic will pick and choose what he/she chooses to believe in in regards to the faith. Typically they will deny or mutilate revealed truths in order to justify their sinful lifestyles.

Sometimes they are even priests.
Mrs. DaBlade:
Finally a true Catholic says no to Notre Dame President Father Jenkins. Mary Ann Glendon, a pro-life Harvard Law professor and former ambassador to the Vatican, had previously accepted an invitation to receive the prestigious Laetare Medal. This award has been given to American Catholics who have illustrated the ideals of the church and enriched the heritage of humanity since 1833. An inscription on the Laetare Medal reads “Magna est veritas et prevalebit,” which means “Truth is mighty, and it shall prevail.” The hypocrisy of this award being given the same year that Barack Obama speaks at the University was not lost on Mary Ann Glendon.

Empty Souter retiring

Liberal-leaning Justice Souter to retire
Empty Souter is "left-leaning"? More like a liberal left-wing political hack.
Judicial Philosophy:

He told the committee that he was opposed to using original intent as a method of constitutional jurisprudence. Souter has described himself as an "interpretationalist," who embraces a strict construction of the Constitution's language but reads its words "in light of contemporary conditions, and is not bound by [the framers'] original meaning."

In other words, just make it up as you go. Don't weigh yourself down with what the framers' meant, decide the case before you based on what you wish they had meant. Or better yet, find some European judge with whom you agree and cite them.

To think that Souter was a George H. W. Bush appointment. Nice job #41! You missed your calling and should have been a talent scout for the Detroit Lions. I'm surprised the wispy-framed Harvard philosophy major and lawyer didn't draw earlier Lion's interest to fill a need for outside linebacker.

Obama is expected to appoint a woman. At least that is what is stated in every article on this story. If you read between the lines, what it really says is, "OBAMA BETTER APPOINT A WOMEN." Liberals never look for the most qualified individual for the job at hand. They count noses and separate people based on sex and skin color. Fellow left wing justice Ruth "Buzzi" Ginsberg is the only women on the court, but has been in an ongoing fight cancer. The call for another women may spring from a desire to give Ginsberg a girl friend to accompany her to the powder room, or just to have a women on deck to prepare for the time when the frail Ginsberg finally kicks the bucket. Not that I would like to see this happen.

I have gone on record here wishing the 76-year-old Ginsberg a full recovery and a long life of at least four (but no more than 8) more years.

I wonder if Hillary is kicking herself with her thunderous thigh. She would have been a shoe-in for this post for life instead of this temporary 4 year gig she currently holds.

Hey Barry, you know what we don't have on the court right now? A lesbo.(John Paul Stevens questions notwithstanding) In the spirit of true liberal diversity, you need to appoint a special kind of women. Should "she" be a Dyke, Butch, Femme, Lipstick Lesbian, Girly Girl, Futch, Stone Butch, Stone Femme, Chapstick Lesbian, Baby Dyke, Tomboi, or Hasbian? (it must be tough to be a fair lib.)

by Allahpundit over at Hot Air: "The only “good” news is that Souter was one of the most reliably liberal votes on the Court. Barry O would have to appoint an out-and-out socialist, practically, to tilt it further left."

Hey Soutie! Don't let the small, hinged swinging door hit you in the arse as you leave the courtroom for New Hampshire.
