Looks like the Peace President quietly shipped an additional 13,000 moms, dads, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, daughters and sons off to Afghanistan while nobody was looking. Not to worry, though – they’re only support troops, not combat troops. I suppose I ought to just change out of my pajamas and STFU anyway, ‘cuz I need to realize what a tough job it is running the country (gee, where have I heard that before?). Of course, I either wear shorts and a t-shirt or (this time of year) sweats, not pajamas, but I reckon it’s the same thing. Yep, the words of some anonymous coward in the Obama Administration certainly seems to have pissed off “bloggers” everywhere. Not that I really care if a bunch of sanctimonious bloggers got their jammies in a twist, but it wasn’t really bloggers that the White House thinks are a bunch of uninformed adolescent crybabies. Mr. Anonymous was talking about any of us who have ever expressed disappointment with Obama. Thanks for getting me elected everybody, now shut up (but keep those campaign contributions coming).

Oh, I know. It wasn’t Obama dissing us. No, he left that to some anonymous “source” while he was off trying to pacify “the gays,” promising to end “Dont’ Ask, Don’t Tell” (and this time, he really, really means it). But, sorry, it’s still on you, Barry. It reminds me of an Arlo Guthrie song, Presidential Rag.

If you didn’t know about that one, then what else don’t you know?
Nobody elected your family,
and we didn’t elect your friends,
no one voted for your advisors…
You’re the one we voted for, so you must take the blame….

In other news, Magic Johnson has endorsed Arlen Specter. Um, that’s nice, I guess, but so what? Does Magic have any connection to Pennsylvania? I mean, he was born and went to school in Michigan and played pro basketball in LA (and still lives out there, as far as I can tell – at least, he popped up in commercials I saw last week). Oh well, Arlen has to take what he can get, I guess. Plus, Magic is black, and they’re all the rage in politics these days.

It appears than Joe Lieberman, however, has lost the all-important Ninja vote.

A man seen dressed as a ninja on the side of the road in Vernon, Conn., swinging nunchucks and yelling about wanting to beat up Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), was arrested Saturday and released to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

According to the Hartford Courant, 30-year-old Garland Eastman became calm and cooperative once police pulled out their tasers and bean bags

I thought it was illegal to pull out your bean bags in Connecticut (in public, anyway).

Speaking of pulling out your bean bags, the winner of the Ultimate Poll Dance Competition has been announced. Oh, the judges had a hard decision to make, alright, but congratulations to Barbara Dial for coming out on top. To paraphrase renowned author Bill O’Reilly, “hey, Barbie, get off that poll, and get….” Oh, never mind.

Back to work today. That sucks. Plus, I have to attend a “lunch and learn” (‘cuz it’s my group doing it, though the extent of my participation will be to try and sit still through it). And they don’t even provide lunch (which is why I’ve never gone to the other groups’ dog and pony shows). That’s no way to encourage participation. It’s like a union event without donuts.

Please, oh Mega Millions gods, let me be tonight’s $170 million winner.
