"We write to express concern that in your recent decision to delay implementation of the employer mandate, you have unilaterally acted and failed to work with Congress on such a significant decision. Further, while your action finally acknowledges some of the many burdens this law will place on job creators, we believe the rest of this law should be permanently delayed for everyone in order to avoid significant economic harm to American families," the senators write."Two Term Presidents usually work on their 'legacy' in the second term. But Obama's plate is so full that I suggest he postpone the work of his legacy, until after the midterm elections. The president is too busy looking busy.

I think I liked "Obama the mockiation president" better. But maybe that's just because of the neighborhood I live in.
I faced a dilemma this morning, which obviously I must have had before, but apparently I had unconsciously dealt with it.
Today it was different.
Today, before brushing my teeth, just now, I was trying to decide which blog to check first. My own or the professor Althouse.
I paused and after about 2 seconds, decided to check my own first. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that, no one, other than me, is looking on to check which one I check first.
I was channeling the Bush educa_tion president.
When I goggled "mockiation" I appeared to be first, I was like wow. But then I thought that could turn into an unwelcome attention, should someone with no sense of humor discover it next the name of the president.
There was something on Drudge last night about Obama telling people to spy on each other?
This morning, Althouse has a follow up post to the very mockable Obama... I mean, Osama Bin Laden wearing a cowboy hat.
When Osama Bin Laden was hiding, and alive, well of course he was alive, you can only hide when you are alive, after you are dead you cant do anything. Where was I, oh yea... Osama Bin Laden wore a cowboy hat, to, apparently try to fool the drones he believed were up there looking for him.
BTW, Where was president Obama, exactly, when our US consulate was attacked in Benghazi, on 9/11 2012? Was he out herding something?
But I digress.
Osama Bin Laden must have convinced himself, somehow, that this cowboy hat would work as a camouflage.
Please go and check out the funny photoshop long time Althouse commenter Freeman Hunt submitted and comeback and tell us what you think.
Obviously you don't have to do that if you don't want to. But I'm still interested on what you think.
I just want to make that clear.
I'm aiming for clarity on this blog, clarity is important if you want to achieve the heighten state of continuous, if not permanent, levity. leviathan. lev.
Actually, I don't think I could be clear all the time. Clarity can turn into a leviathan if I get carried away like I'm just now. Levity, at least in my own mind, is associated with letting go. Don't hold on to things that cause discomfort too long ;)
Clarity is too tecknical. Fuck clarity.
Clarity is an illusion, much like reality.
as for Choom, yeah, Rev Wright's smilin' right now in Chi-town.
He'd hoped he'd be vicar of the US of KKK, but ended up under the bus. Now, the chickens comin' home to roost.
BTW this article talk's about how the NHS, y'know the one we're emulating, is going broke. Worse than Red China's.

That's the way to do it.
PS Saw Freeman's photoshop. Good idea, she could have had him saying, "Yippee ki yay, motherfuck", but, of course, she's too much of a lady.
I'm reading what's happening at the Zimmerman trail and I'm thinking Zimmerman is so screwed.
The prosecution is changing the charge after the defense has defended another charge and rest it w/o a chance to defended it.
I'm not a lawyer but that is so blatantly unfair I believe there should be plenty of other words to describe it.
There was something on Drudge last night about Obama telling people to spy on each other?
Federal employees and federal contractors are now required to spy on each other, looking for people that are having a bad day. The Administration's own security experts seem to think it's a worthless program, but when has that ever stopped this Administration from doing anything? Hell, that's practically encouraging them....
Always start with your own blog. It's your own blog!
Zimmerman is so much of a slam dunk that even the possibility of a conviction is an embarrassment. The very idea that the state, for political reasons, would hang this sword over a citizen's head after defending himself from someone who said "You're gonna die tonight" in the middle of the assault he was under is a travesty. Some people are saying to just trust the system. That system selected an all woman jury and a judge who seems consumed with proving she's man enough for the job while protecting the jury from any difficulty including considering all relevant information, and that gives me no confidence in it.
An acquittal is the only acceptable outcome, and anyone who is saying trust the system needs to be ready to attack that system for it's failure if it does fail. Those of us on the other side are under no such obligation to apologize for fearing a failure. The stakes are too high, as would be understood if you were George Zimmerman.
Our system gave Zimmerman the choice of accepting a beating and possible death or risking a long prison sentence - your choice. Nice system. The government that is in place to protect him, in fact, attacked him for reasons of personal political ambition and mob mentality, and there is nothing wrong with finding that wrong and the trial merely the means of that crime. A failed crime is still a crime and this trial is a crime with or without an acquittal. An acquittal is analogous to an attempted murder where the perpetrator says " What? Nobody got hurt. Chill out."
I wrote, "Enough with the hats already!" This is at least the third post about bin Laden's friggin' hats. I'm trying to keep up with content, but why bother if all I'm going to get is email from "readers" (which seems like an obvious demotion from "commenter") about bin Laden's hats.
And as I wrote last night (shameless self-promotion, just like the Althouse Amazon portal but you don't have to buy anything on the other side), all these bin Laden stories are starting to sound like someone is trying too hard. The whole bin Laden raid thing is starting to look a little more phony every day, even if it was real.
Don't hold on to things that cause discomfort too long
I had that happen yesterday morning. Fortunately I got to a toilet in time.
I want to see the Chip Ahoy version with bin Laden in a hoodie eating some Skittles and drinking ice tea.
Saying trust the system here is like if you were at a keg party and saw some drunk trying to shoot a beer can off the head of his girl friend because he thinks this will help him look good with his buddies, and you stand there saying "Don't worry - he's a good shot, he does this all the time, and hardly ever misses".
Well it is hard to bring the funny when you are a humorless
twat.
That seems to have been Althouse's position this morning. I took that to task: Fear of a Guilty verdict.
Unfortunately, I did that in between playing chase with my daughter and reading "Dick and Jane" stories to her. (It's really hard being a grown man and reading, "Come, Dick. Come, come." with a straight face.) I hope to return to it later today and write up something a little more coherent.
The one bit of good news is that Zimmerman's defense basically covers most of the lesser charges too. One has a right to self-defense. I'm not saying he WON'T b found guilty, but that at least his defense argument covers this bullshit.
The very idea that the state, for political reasons, would hang this sword over a citizen's head after defending himself from someone who said "You're gonna die tonight" in the middle of the assault he was under is a travesty.
Actually, we do not know that this is what happened. This is part of about two minutes during which we do not know what happened.
That said, Zimmerman's account is at least plausible, while the states account that Zimerman basically hunted someone down for a thrill kill is complete garbage. Zimmerman should be acquitted in a just trial because doubt of the state charges is extremely reasonable.
Have to agree with Ice. If he can beat the murder 2 charge, he should beat murder 3 (whatever that is) also.
The defense is Z was jumped and defended himself.
That should hold against any charge, although the prosecution may have given O'Mara a great angle for appeal, worst comes to worst.
Saw that. She seems to be going back to her hippie roots here. (I'm wondering if all the harassment and threats from the Lefties (not to mention her faculty buds) finally got to her and she caved)
She's old enough to remember the race riots of the 60s, having lived in both the Philly outskirts (DE, like S Jersey, is considered a part of metro Phila) and Gotham 'burbs as a teen, but she wants to take Jacobson to task for mentioning it.
Why not go after Choom and Sharpton and the media for fomenting this in the first place?

When I first read that, I swear I thought it said "going back to her nipple roots". I have no idea what that would mean, but it sounds painful.

Surely you know the most heinous crime in this day and age is Noticing Things.
I know I've said this before, but now I'm sure as the nose on your face, the comments section will open soon. The list has been made. Who has been naughty and who has been nice?
"I would never belong to a club that would have me as a member."
I'd rather be uncomfortably tolerated than perfectly acceptable, especially among elite intellectuals.
I say the same thing Bags... but never underestimate the power of charm. I don't know how long I would be able to resist should she go that route.
This is all speculation of course.
Did you hear that? that's the sound of my head swelling because I just linked myself.
BTW I just opened a Zimmerman thread.
Oh boy, this is one of those thing that once you do it you want to do again and again.
Bad link ^^^
Oh that's so like God punishing me.
lol.
I'm mocking myself btw. don't want to create a misimpression so early on here. sorry.
You will never be a successful blogger if you admit an error, or have the ability to laugh at yourself.
Well, that's not what I set out to do. This place, I'm realizing now, is about having a place to kick back and put my feet on the furniture and not have to worry about abusing some else's digs. I was doing that over at Althouse. I realized it one night, when at a Meade Amazon thread, I asked him for permission to do a musical theme, like I used to, it dawned on me I had never asked Althouse for permission, ever.
I'm just remembering now, in one of the posts just before she shut down comments, she re-iterated the purpose of a café as a place for conversation. not musical monologues.
No Ennui here.
Post your music, dude.
