Who's sorry now, who's sorry now
Whose heart is achin' for breakin' each vow
Who's sad and blue, who's cryin' too
Just like I cried over you
Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now.
I'm not sure "who's heart is achin' for breakin' each vow" the most. Either it's the President's or maybe it's the New York Times' editorial board (about whom I wrote recently) along with most of the lying liars who constitute the American media, or the agit-prop branch of the Democrat party, as I prefer to think of them. There they all were, like an operatic chorus of hags screeching that their beloved president did not lie when he said, "If you want to keep your healthcare plan then you can". Remember, he said it not once,not twice, not thrice but twenty-nine times! But no, according to the careful parsing of the media he merely "misspoke".
Thus, was 'el Presidente' surrounded and protected by his praetorian guard in the media. But then the ninny went and blew it! On TV the other night he apologised for doing what his chorus had insisted he didn't do, that is, lying through his teeth! There is a certain amount of amusement to be derived from watching some of these poltroons in the press attempt journalistic acrobatics, or watch others, like the NYT, strike a pose of haughty denial by refusing even to report the President's confession and apology.
There is a temptation, I confess, to enjoy a snigger at all those suckers 'over there' who voted this dangerous dimwit into office but, alas, it is easier to weep at their folly and ask "who's cryin' now?"
No, No, No. He is not sorry for lying. He's sorry that they misunderstood him (Misunderstood=believed.)

What he meant to say was, "if I want you to keep your healthcare plan, you can". So give the guy a break. He was so close. Just off by one pronoun.

I gain the impression, Gentlemen, that I am preaching to the converted!

You are cheer leading. This is important, and may God bless you for it.

Maybe a few nights in a cell with constant Connie Francis records playing would drive Obama to depression.

Look stop worrying about the small stuff like Obummer, this is what terrifies me:

The first steps towards Skynet? (an excerpt):
"They suggest: "In the city environment, they could recharge using urine from urinals in public lavatories. In rural environments, liquid waste effluent could be collected from farms."
Naturally, our vision for the future is Terminator-style urine-powered killbots menacing humanity, or at best generally making a complete nuisance of themselves hanging around toilets begging for a drink."
So a 'mobile autonomous distributed sensor network that's fueled by digesting dead flesh or urine' - what could possibly go wrong?
Note to self: find out what the best calibre for terminating Terminators is and see if they stock 'phased plasma rifles in a 40 watt range' at my local hunting emporium.
(Why couldn't they just stick to zombies? I've read all the books and have all I need to beat them already.)

Jimmy, being locked in a cell listening to non-stop Connie Francis would constitute "cruel and unusual punishment" - exactly what he deserves!
As for your comment, Able, all I can say is 'piss off'!
