I had a call from Michelle on Oahu earlier. She sounded way too happy. I suspect she's been hitting Saks and the boutiques of Waikiki, with a stack of credit cards in her purse. Sigh...This is goin' to be to the next deficit war.

'Concussed' Hillary in Caribbean
After being too "concussed" to testify in Congress on Benghazi, Hillary Clinton has now popped up in Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic where she and Bill will reportedly celebrate New Year at the Puntacana Resort & Club. Details here. UPDATE: The State Department denies the SoS is in the Caribbean.
How Obama wasted trillions
Scott Grannis, who has a rare talent for making economics understandable: "The burden of our debt binge is already upon us because we have borrowed trillions of dollars to support consumption, rather than new investment. What matters in the future is how productively we spend the proceeds of future bond sales, not how we pay off the bonds we've already sold. We can make progress... if we can reduce federal spending relative to the size of the economy, since that in turn will reduce the ...resources we waste. Allowing the private sector to increasingly decide how to spend the fruits of its labors will likely improve the overall productivity and strength of the economy... We've got to get the government out of the way if we are to move forward..." Read it all.

What they want for Christmas is a Dad
From The Telegraph: "A truly heartbreaking story broke over Christmas. A British consumer agency released a survey that showed that the tenth most requested gift from Father Christmas was “a dad” (coming in just behind “snow”). The first choice was a baby brother or sister, which is a heartening sign that materialism hasn’t quite claimed our souls yet. But the stand out figure is one that shows that a growing number of children see a father not as a “given” but as a “blessing” – as precious and elusive as a Nintendo Wii...." More here.
Democrats demand inquiry into North Pole philanthropist

Claus, on allegations of a possible conspiracy with American retailers such as Walmart, Target, Macy and others involving profiteering, reports Diogenes' Middle Finger.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal) accused Mr. Claus of conspiring for years by way of a made up holiday to enrich himself as well as already wealthy retail and related industry CEOs. Read more

Amendment proposed for Piers Morgan
Laughing Conservative is proposing an amendment to the appearance of Lord Smugly of Conceit, a.k.a. Piers Morgan, who thinks it's OK, while one is a guest in another country, to be thoroughly rude to one's hosts. Our proposed amendment to the loathsome windbag's appearance is simple: it would involve a nightclub bouncer, a fist and simpering Smugly's nose.
Mr President, what the heck's going on?
President Obama, what's going on? The four officials supposedly out of jobs because of their blunders in the run-up to the Benghazi terror attack remain on the State Department payroll — and will all be back to work soon, The New York Post reports.
The highest-ranking official caught up in the scandal, Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, has not “resigned” from government service, as officials said last week. He is just switching desks. And the other three are simply on administrative leave and are expected back, the Post says.
Meantime, Hillary remains out of the public eye with no update on her "concussion."
Laughing Conservative has been unable to confirm a rumor that she is now being treated for a nasty case of laryngitis which will prevent her indefinitely from speaking in public.

Piers Morgan wants Bible amendment
Lord Smug of Conceit [a.k.a Piers Morgan] is apparently not content with denigrating the Second Amendment. The loathsomely self-satisfied Brit now wants to second-guess God and have the Bible amended to endorse gay marriage. More here.
The number of signers on a petition urging the White House to deport Morgan has exceeded 65,000 names. Understandably alarmed at the prospect of Morgan being hustled back to Britain, a British citizen has started a counter-petition asking that the vainglorious windbag not be returned to Britain.

Barack Obama's Diary: Making merry
Barack Obama's Diary: Me? An egomaniac?
Aloha Diary: We islanders revert to our native customs when we are over here from what we call the mainland... For me that means saying aloha on all possible occasions, like at my Presidential briefing this morning, when I noticed that my advisers were eating into my precious golfing time. I stood up and said: "Guys, our response to Assad's reported use of nerve gas can wait, unlike my round of golf. Aloha."
Meantime, I'm getting real tired of people saying all I ever talk about is me. Today I saw on the news that a Boston cop selflessly jumped into frigid waters to save a woman who had fallen in. I often plunge into water without hesitation when I am in Hawaii. I like to body surf and I don't slowly walk out into the waves. I dive straight in and swim. I've never much liked board surfing, because I don't feel a true connection to the sea. I first tried surfing when I was seven. Where was I? Oh, yes, the myth that I'm always talking about me. Au contraire, I have always been interested in other people's lives. This began when I was 11 years old and had begun to realize that there were other people in the world besides me...

Heh! of the Day
A businessman boards a flight and is seated next to a gorgeous woman. She is reading a manual about sexual statistics. He asks her about it and she replies: "This is a very interesting book about sexual statistics. It identifies that American Indians have the longest average penis and Polish men have the biggest average diameter.
By the way, my name is Jill. What's yours?"
"Tonto Kowalski, nice to meet you."

Why Hillary is 'working from home'
"Just because everything Hillary Clinton has said about Benghazi has been a lie, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take her word for it that a dog ate her homework she fell down and hit her head and that’s why she can’t testify about Benghazi this week. After all, what possible motive could she have for lying, other than covering up her own incompetence and keeping this whole debacle from derailing her 2016 hopes?" The Daily Caller has more
