Progress Notes for Patient 540463: OBAMA, Barack, H.

12/2/13: Just when I thought Patient was regaining some sense of proportion regarding his massive ego, that equally egotistical twat, Piers Morgan, broadcast a segment about patient on CNN in which Morgan wondered aloud whether the physically unfit Chris Christie could follow the "perfect physical specimen" Barack Obama into the White House:  Patient had been rerunning the segment on his DVR ever since. "It was only a matter of time before my superb physique was noticed by the great and famous." said patient  as he continued to do crunches and push-ups on the floor of his private quarters as I entered.  He was clearly trying to impress me. "I'm impressed," I said in the hope that it would stop him exercising and enable me assess his mental  progress "...38..39...40!" the moron said triumphantly. "Push-ups?" I asked. "No, the number of people who have signed up on the revised health.gov site today" ---Dictated by SH Rink, M.D.  ECS

Barack Obama's Diary: 'O' must go

Dear Diary: I have been practicing my Spanish ready for a visit tomorrow from President Juan  Manuel Santos Calderón of Colombia. The man has an excellent education --Tufts,  The London  School of Economics, among others.  I  must admit to envying his grand-sounding name.  I wonder if, at this stage,  I can get the media to refer to me as President Barack Obamacare Obamarón. [Note to self: Have discreet words with Jay Carney about my being afforded more respect by media hacks. "Bam"  or "O" must  cease forthwith or authors will face an IRS audit. Hacks are notorious for their  padded "expense" accounts. ] But enough about me.

Obama joke o' the Day

One sunny day in January, 2017, an old man approaches the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He speaks to the U.S. Marine standing guard and says, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” The Marine looks at the man and says, “Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here. ”The old man says, “Okay,” and walks away.
The following day the same man approaches the White House and says to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” The Marine again tells the man, “Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here.” The man thanks him and again just walks away.
The third day the same man approaches the White House and speaks to the very same U.S. Marine, saying, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looks at the man and says, “Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I’ve told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand?”
The old man looks at the Marine and says,“Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.” The Marine snaps to attention, salutes, and says, “See you tomorrow, Sir!”     [ECS]

When civilians shot back at the Texas Tower Sniper...

"On the morning of August 1, 1966, not long before summer classes at the University of Texas at Austin were about to let out for lunch, an architectural engineering major named Charles Whitman arrived at the Tower dressed as a maintenance man. He would be described the following day in the Austin American as “a good son, a top Boy Scout, an excellent Marine, an honor student, a hard worker, a loving husband, a fine scout master, a handsome man, a wonderful friend to all who knew him—and an expert sniper.” The footlocker he wheeled behind him contained three rifles, two pistols, and a sawed-off shotgun, as well as a cache of supplies (among them canned peaches, deodorant, an alarm clock, binoculars, toilet paper, a machete, and sweet rolls) that suggested he planned to stay awhile. After a receptionist switched on an elevator that Whitman had been trying in vain to operate, he smiled and said, “Thank you, ma’am. You don’t know how happy that makes me.”
Whitman rode the elevator to the twenty-seventh floor, dragged his footlocker up the stairs to the observation deck, and introduced the nation to the idea of mass murder in a public space... the 25-year-old ushered in the notion that any group of people, anywhere—even walking around a university campus on a summer day—could be killed at random by a stranger.

Progress Notes for Patient 540463: OBAMA, Barack, H.

11/29/13: Patient seemed despondent today. I asked him why. "Why not?" he replied. "Yesterday the common herd united in intimate family gatherings to give thanks for my beneficent presidency, but now the impudent swine are running amok in the malls battling each other for flat-screen TVs and cheap baubles. "Thoughts of me and my health-care revolution have been pushed aside in the name of greed."
The Moron, sinking ever more deeply into the slough of self-delusion, now appears to think that Thanksgiving exists only to honor him and him alone. Good grief. --Dictated by S.H. Rink. M.D. 

Boris: Why we need inequality

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, talking at the Centre for Policy Studies, a free-market think tank:  "Like it or not, the free market economy is the only show in town. Britain is competing in an increasingly impatient and globalised economy, in which the competition is getting ever stiffer.
"No one can ignore the harshness of that competition, or the inequality that it inevitably accentuates; and I am afraid that violent economic centrifuge is operating on human beings who are already very far from equal in raw ability, if not spiritual worth.
"Whatever you may think of the value of IQ tests, it is surely relevant to a conversation about equality that as many as 16 per cent of our species have an IQ below 85, while about 2 per cent have an IQ above 130. I stress: I don’t believe that economic equality is possible; indeed, some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity.
Johnson nonetheless called for a more meritocratic society that may lead to some reduction in economic inequality. He announced his support of plans for a return of selective state schools and more state-funded scholarships for academically successful students to attend private schools. Read more

Barack Obama's Dairy (oops) Diary

Dear Diary: As you can see, above, this  has not been a good day for me. My negativity meter went into the red zone when I read a comment on the interwebs saying "America's bird is a bald eagle, but America's president is a turkey."
All over the country families are gathered at the table saying how grateful they are for my presence in the White House, but there's always some sour grapes in the bunch.  Valerie Jarrett  says, at such times, I should bask in the light of  my own brilliance and give her a raise.

Lies from my Father?

"We know ObamaCare was sold on a lie, but what about the Obama presidency itself? It seems that rumors that Obama's violent leftist pal Bill Ayers ghost-wrote the memoir that launched his political career may actually be true.  Obama has always claimed authorship of his bestselling Dreams From My Father.
But Ayers is telling a different story. In promoting his new book, Public Enemy, Ayers' publisher, Beacon Press, has written a blurb on Amazon.com that says Ayers "finally 'confesses' that he did write Dreams From My Father.'"   Read More       [ECS]

Happy Thanksgiving

Laughing Conservative  wishes  its multitudinous readers a very happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.  We regret that [unlike Obamacare's promoters] we do not feel the need to distribute free condoms to celebrate.
