Tanks, Rifles, Bullets – But No Easter

Obama has plenty of money for 2,700 tanks, 7,000 automatic rifles and 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, but no money for an Easter egg hunt.

Obama’s budget is 30%  ($1 trillion) larger than the biggest budget prior to his Presidency, but he has no money for White House tours.

For more than a century, the White House Easter Egg Roll has been insulated from the sort of partisan sniping that now dominates Washington politics.

That tradition ended Monday, when Republicans started complaining about a notice that the event could be canceled due to a potential government shutdown. The Obama administration has already come under GOP criticism for canceling White House tours due to the mandatory, across-the-board cuts known as sequestration.

Could a government shutdown doom the White House Easter Egg Roll?

Massive Crowds Of Protesters

In 2003, I experienced firsthand the massive demonstrations against GWB during his visit to London. I was staying a few blocks away from Buckingham Palace, and walked past the palace every day to get to meetings on Pall Mall.

The US press corpse reported that there were huge crowds of protesters outside the palace chanting anti-Bush slogans. I counted about four protesters, silently holding signs.

Later that weekend, England won the rugby world cup. 600,000 people lined Whitehall to cheer on the team when they returned from down under.

This was when I realized that CNN is nothing more than a left-wing propaganda outlet.

Will The Real Satan Please Stand Up?

Paul Krugman says that climate skeptics are Satan and will burn in in hell, but the History Channel thinks Satan looks like this guy. Note that the wart has been relocated to protect the guilty.
