Pippa Middleton signs $622,000 book deal

As if she weren't magnetic  enough,  Pippa  Middleton (she of the curvaceous rear) has now signed a $622,000 deal for a  party-planning book.  Details (and a slideshow  for Pippafreaks)  here.

Gingrich 45%, Obama 43%, in national poll

Newt Gingrich has moved to the top of the polls in Iowa, has  made big gains in New Hampshire and now has a two-point edge over President Obama in a hypothetical general election match-up.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters finds Gingrich with  45% of the vote while President Obama is supported  by 43%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided. Details here.

President Grinch steals a Christmas highlight

Obama had the best advice available in NYC and he  is choosing to ignore it.

The global triple threat builds

The prospect of   a new  Middle East war involving Israel and Iran, coinciding with  a collapse of the Euro provoking global economic chaos, has not receded. On the contrary, it seems to be escalating: the Euro crisis is far from  being solved, the  Iranians --  rattled  by sabotage of both  a nuclear and a  missile installation -- are clearly trying to distract attention by  storming the British Embassy in Tehran -- an act verging on war.
 Israel  is  openly  repositioning   its Jericho long-range missiles [ no doubt to reduce vulnerability to thousands of Hezbollah rockets.]  
Meanwhile the  British have  been moving a missile-equipped  nuclear submarine to the Gulf and the US has  deployed a carrier to the same area.  And Obama? Probably leading from under the Resolute desk  in the Oval office. Has there ever been a worse time to have an irresolute commander-in- chief?

President Oblunder

President Obama seems determined to alienate the USA's closest ally.  Now he has stumbled over the difference between England, Britain and the UK. There is no such thing as an "English" embassy anywhere in the world.  They are British  embassies.  Imagine the MSM ridicule  if this had been Herman Cain or  Rick Perry. 

The Great Global Warming Fizzle

Obama, what the hell are we paying you for? Christie asks

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has torn into President Obama for the failure of the debt supercommittee calling the president "a bystander in the Oval Office"
 “I was angry this weekend, listening to the spin coming out of the administration, about the failure of the supercommittee, and that the president knew it was doomed for failure, so he didn’t get involved. Well then what the hell are we paying you for?” Christie asked.

Obama approves slaughtering horses for human food

Fire up the grill...
Never let it be said that  President Barack Οbama doesn't care about the soaring price of meat. He has now signed legislation allowing the slaughter of horses and consumption of horse meat by humans. More here.

Hopes for Euro rescue, but the price may be freedom

Europe appears to be moving towards a solution to the Euro crisis. But it would involve a huge loss of control by individual countries over their  budgets and dominance by  Germany. Good news for bureaucrats. Bad news for libertarians. More here.

Embassies brace for Euro currency collapse

Euro: Break-up 'inevitable' 
Britain has instructed its embassies in Europe to prepare contingency plans for thousands of Britons who would be stranded  in Europe amid financial  chaos and possible rioting if the Euro currency collapses,  which many think is inevitable. Britain  belongs to the  European Community, but  its currency is  independent of the Euro.  Read more

Russian TV pays homage to Obama

Russia is clearly   as deeply  impressed  as we are by Barack Obama -- even pausing a newscast to  honor him  with   an ancient Russian salute,  known as  "flippink da bird."

O is for Egotist

 "Mr. Obama's career has been one in which the main effect has been the impression he leaves on audiences—the main effect has been himself. Familiarity with his country—or any other country—would be helpful at this point, if only to counterweight his mesmerization with the arc of his personal story."

Good news from Down Under

Abbott:  Future PM?
We may be dismayed by the Republican line- up here.  But Australia may be seeing light at the end of the socialist tunnel. We've had an optimistic update from our correspondent in Australia, currently writhing under the heel of socialist Prime Minister "Jackboot Julia" Gillard.  
He says: "Obama was  here earlier this week  telling everyone we're his best friends, as he says to everyone wherever he goes. What was truly nauseating was to see (Gillard's) Labor Party brown-nosing him.  I heard Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, speak  at the Sydney Institute last night. He is staunch conservative and is going to make a great Prime Minister. The Left loathe and fear him, which will make it all the sweeter."

Hillary's moment in history

"If President Obama is not willing to seize the moral high ground and step aside, then the two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, must urge the president not to seek re-election—for the good of the party and most of all for the good of the country. And they must present the only clear alternative—Hillary Clinton."  This  is the core of a seminal piece in The Wall Street Journal,  that may signal historic change in this  country.  Read it all. 
We speculated here some months back that Hillary's  strategy might be to do nothing until desperate Democrats  beg her to run and give her the covering fire she needs. That  moment may be at hand.  [Thanks BJS]

Protester outrage over pepper on soyburgers

Students at UC Davis,  gathered in a cafeteria  to peacefully protest corporate greed,  accused the university chancellor of attempted genocide when they saw a cafeteria cook grinding  pepper to their soyburgers."They were sitting there peacefully," said a spokes committee, "when this cook picked up a large pepper grinder  and walked up and down a whole row of burger patties, cold-bloodedly grinding pepper directly on to their surface. " This is  pure, unprovoked brutality,"  the spokes committee said. "We held a general meeting and everyone  uptwinkled that we should eat hot dogs instead. No-one is going to push us around."

Adultikids feel the sting of reality

Indignant OWSers posted videos like this one on YouTube of police pepper-spraying protesters at UC Davis who were directly disobeying police orders to move on. Far from being outraged, I find it quite satisfying to see these adultikids playing "rebellion," and feeling the sharp sting of reality. In Syria it would be bullets.

Jackboot Julia's carbon dioxide tax: You have been warned

Best of mates
Those who think I have been too rude about  that odious harridan  'Jackboot'  Julia Gillard, should read this terrifying  account of the introduction of  her carbon dioxide tax which sounds like it came out of a totalitarian state like Myanmar rather than the gentle land Down Under. Obama has been cozying up to the socialist Prime Minister [left].  Americans, you have been warned.
