Funny Obama Endorsement

I don't read Iowahawk regularly but this Obama endorsement from T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII, representing "conservatives from Greenwich to Chevy Chase," is hilarious.  A sample:   

I've taken a good measure of this Obama fellow, and I must say I like the cut of the man's jib.  How can I say this, you ask? One look at this Obama chap is all the answer you need. Suave, tanned, unflappable, Harvard connections; it's obvious that here is a man to the conservative manor born. One imagines him at the helm of the Ship of State, basked in the sunlight diffusing through the seaspray over the bow, like some beautiful rugged Othello from a rapturous Ralph Lauren catalog, calmly issuing instructions to the deck crew in that magnificent mellifluous baritone of his. It's that easy-going, almost effortless grace that has all the A-list conservatives like David Frum and Kathleen Parker whispering Reaganesque in hushed tones. Even Peggy Noonan -- the Grand Dame of Gipperism -- has succumbed to Obama's undeniable conservative charms. Just last month I listened to her wax poetic about the Adonis of Chicago between chukkers at the Newport Club polo tournament final.  "Why Peggy, you old dowager," I quipped, "I believe you just had an orgasm."

I Just Died Inside

Fox is canceling King of the Hill and replacing it with a Family Guy spin-off.  Apparently, Fox loves manatee humor.

Joe the Plummer to Pursue Music?

I guess weirder things have happened:

Move over, Sanjaya, and tell William Hung the news: Joe the Plumber is being pursued for a major record deal and could come out with a country album as early as Inauguration Day.

Congratulations, Philadelphia Phillies

I'm a Cubs fan through and through, but I'm pretty happy this morning that the Phillies prevailed last night to win the World Series because my grandmother has been a loyal Philadelphia baseball fan since she went to her first game in 1931 (back when the local team was the Philadelphia A's, playing in what later was renamed Connie Mack Stadium). 

But here is a worrisome thought.   When my grandmother saw her first baseball game, it was one year before the "Roosevelt Realignment" -- when FDR was elected in a landslide that changed the political landscape for a half century.   When the Phillies finally won their first World Series with Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt, Bake McBride and the rest -- it was just a couple weeks before the sun rose on the Reagan Revolution.    With Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid licking their chops at the the present poll numbers, should all of us Obama-skeptics have been rooting for the Rays??

World Goes Topsy Turvy

So wait... the U.S. nationalized its banking sector, and the old Soviet propaganda machine, Pravda, is advocating adoption of a gold standard?

TV Characters That EW Hates

Brightest Young Things points to this list from Entertainment Weekly of TV Characters that their readers don't like.  I fully support Mohinder Suresh and Dawson Leery making the cut.  I'm also amused that approx. half of the cast of Grey's Anatomy made the list.  But I must say, where is Naomi from the new 90210?  Is it too soon?  Because she is super annoying.
