Fox News: The Great Satan?

This is almost embarrassing.

Some lady from the White House, who looks like she's wearing a small pup-tent on her head (oh, sorry, that's her hair), announced today that White House employees will no longer be allowed to speak to Fox News.

What is this, kindergarten?

Actually, the White House doesn't seem to have much regard for things like the First Amendment, so it's not all that surprising. Their attitude toward US citizens seems to be, "They don't need no stinkin' information!"

I mean, look what American citizens do with information -- it tends to change their positions; they may act on it and vote all these miserable cusses out of office at the first opportunity. Then maybe the Comrade and his Band of Merry Marxists will have to get real jobs.

Heaven forbid!! They won't even have Acorn to kick around anymore and broadcast upon the land to do their bidding, fetching them voter registrations and grateful first-time homeowners.

This would be funny -- it's so childish -- except that's it's so pathetic. "If you continue to question me and my friends, we just won't speak to you anymore."

Fox will have to sit all by itself at the corner table in the lunchroom.

Think maybe some people have some really screwy perceptions of power? It always seemed to me that the President -- any US President -- has so little power, really. He's got to deal with the House and Senate, after all. An army of bureaucrats. And then a real Army, too. And heaven knows, the general public.

When a President -- any US President -- says "Jump!" none of the above are likely to ask "How high?" Except maybe Pelosi, Baucus, and Reid. Barney Fudd would, but only when no one was looking. He does have a certain reputation to maintain.

What is truly worrisome is that the Comrade and those around him don't seem to understand that words aren't magic. You can't just say something to make it come true. He seems to believe that's all that's necessary. He confuses the media with the message.

And does he really think that everyone should just automatically believe everything he says, no questions asked? I've never in my life met anyone who was quite so convinced of his own wonderfulness. He seems to really expect people to regard him as a deity. That's actually crazy, you know? Really kinda twisted.

And as far as the Nobel Peace Prize goes, that's kind of a farce. I mean, look who's won it so far from the USA: Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson (who bragged about being a member of the KKK, by the way), Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore. Well, they're all famous, anyway. I wouldn't care to live next door to any one of them.

Anyway, didn't I say that as this government pursues its strange and twisted path, doing its best to 1) deny American exceptionalism; 2) wipe out free market capitalism; 3) demolish the US military, apparently; 4) hold hands with Abracadabrajab and Hugo Chavez.... Didn't I say many blogs ago that all the Comrade was doing was making the US government irrelevant?

At least I won't hear much from him anymore. The Comrade doesn't have anything important enough to say to me to compel me to sit through colonoscopies on Katie Couric's friends and family, or listen to drivel from NBC, and Diane Sawyer, who I used to like, just seems to be trying too hard nowadays to present herself as a "regular person." She's always so breathless. It's exhausting.

I should be serious about this. But I can't quit laughing. It's just so-o-o-o-o Middle School.
