Who is Meryl Yourish?
Should I give a damn?

But will he accept ads on the bike?

Has anyone read what she wrote?

I did

And believe me, you deserve every word of it.

re: #1 Afrocity

Good grief.

She filed it under humor guys.

Sounds like a compliment to me. You really watch the tour de france?

I think she likes you Charles.

As for his blog, well, gee, definitely stay away from one of the most popular places in the blogosphere. Cut all ties with it. Why would you want to be friends with a guy who’s been exposing the jihadists’ agenda since 2001?

Why indeed. I don't want to be associated with that crowd.

Yet another bogus attack. That was a fairy not an angel. Sheesh.

That first sentence with the public flogging has to be a reference to Atlas silly statement.

Well, that blog makes a compelling argument. Since the only accepted political positions in America are "fetus-murdering atheist pinko" and "gun-obsessed redneck bible-thumper," it stands to reason that Charles Johnson is the devil and not to be trusted.

OK, I read the blog entry in question. Seems like it's a bit sarcastic no?

re: #62 zombie

Okay. I am officially jealous. Obama will meet the Queen.

A source said: “There is a wish to do these things as discreetly as possible in the first instance.”

President Obama, famed for his Yes We Can slogan, will fly with wife Michelle on Air Force One to Stansted, Essex.

The private talks will be held the next day at Buckingham Palace.

Mr Obama will then join the G20 leaders for a Downing Street dinner on the eve of the summit on April 2.

Last night it emerged he gave Gordon Brown 25 top US movies as a gift after talks in the US.

Mr Brown’s wife Sarah gave Mr Obama’s two daughters Topshop outfits. And the First Lady gave Mr Brown’s two boys toy helicopters.

re: #89 snowcrash

The hoof/horseshoe mitts are hilarious.

I wonder is she goes clippity clop clippity clop when she walks on all fours.

And then he watches the Tour de France, which is at least slightly more interesting than televised golf, but not by much.

Okay as a curator let me say that it was NOT Obama's place to return the bust. IMO it is the property of the White House archives and artifacts. Or he could have sent it to the Bush II Presidential Library when it opens. I am not certain when we got the bust was this while Bush was POTUS or before. He could have sent it to the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress...

If he offers the Queen a fistbump, Michelle will get awfully jealous.

re: #189 buzzsawmonkey

I still don't understand why the churl couldn't have just moved it to another room--or even to the attic. Why did he have to be such a lout as to return it when it was not a gift to him in the first place, but to the US?

re: #190 Afrocity

I am not sure that is correct. I believe it was on loan and Obama's staff thought it should be returned lest it be lost, as sometimes happens. The only uncouth thing Obama did was he did not know he was to ask the Brits to request it back, as is customary on loans after a term runs. He simply does not understand diplomacy.

re: #206 pat

I am not sure that is correct. I believe it was on loan and Obama's staff thought it should be returned lest it be lost, as sometimes happens. The only uncouth thing Obama did was he did not know he was to ask the Brits to request it back, as is customary on loans after a term runs. He simply does not understand diplomacy.

"He simply does not understand diplomacy."

Shit that's the understatement of the year!

re: #178 Iron Fist

Do you think someone should let Obama know that Lincoln was a Republican? They probably didn't teach that to him when he was at the Madrassa.

I try to overlook that, in light of his valiant service to our country.

/Lincoln's, that is, not Obama's...nevermind, you get the idea.

Fun article. Good to break up the bad and outrageously stupid with something funny.

Do we know what kind of food was served to the Browns during their visit to the White House? I have a sinking feeling that Spaghetti-Os, Velveeta, and Twinkies played a prominent role.

Huh?

re: #94 Afrocity

Okay. I am officially jealous. Obama will meet the Queen.

Last night it emerged he gave Gordon Brown 25 top US movies as a gift after talks in the US.

I wonder if "Saving Private Ryan" or "Casablanca" were included.

re: #215 SanFranciscoZionist

Yeah, that was silly. Arrugala joke? OK. I don't see Michelle OR Barack Obama eating any of the named foods. Maybe Velveeta. Velveeta has some serious uses as a cheese-like substance.

re: #211 Nevergiveup

He is rather stupid in the area, but many of us would be. The problem is two fold, The Clintonistas were like grifters and just as bad. They are advising Obama. Secondly, Obama really needs to have some staff that understands this stuff advising him. Reagan and George H, and W were born or lived in this league. Clinton and Obama are novices.

Don't they have people at the White House who know stuff like that professionally?

Regarding the return of the Churchill bust, it's too bad that one of the tenets of Reverend Wright's church was not the Disavowal of Utter Crassness.

But he made up for it by having A Crass Avowal of Utter Dissness.

re: #216 Nevergiveup

Hey, a good joke is always good. Especially when we have to more or less sit around and watch the new President follow in the footsteps of Carter...except it's highly likely he will be worse than Carter and do far more damage than the loon did.

Er, sorry. I ramble.

I was trying to think of some cheap eats that are readily available and don't require any effort. Like the plastic-from-the-White-House-gift-shop helicopters Michelle gave to the Brown children.

Of course, in honor of Great Britain, it could have been spam.

It really is sad. I am sure you are right about protocol and all also. It's just Winnie used to walk around naked in Roosevelt's White House during the war. He deserves a spot there now.

re: #230 Nevergiveup

Of course, and he could have put it in glass case somewhere. That would have thrilled the Brits.

It should have been handled by the curator. I am pretty sure they have one. I am positive. Someone a conservator or such person should handle that...White House Historian.

re: #230 Nevergiveup
Churchill walked around naked in the Whitehouse? This I did not know. I'm not sure whether I find that factoid disturbing or amusing; I guess a little both.

re: #203 Jim in Virginia

I believe it was given to us after 9-11.

Actually it was on loan from the British.

Arugula would work. Obama will never live down the arugula. I imagine them eating sort of pretentious chichi yuppie food that the kids won't eat. Definately NOT Spaghetti-O's.

Then there was that thing during the campaign where they were filmed making tuna sandwiches for the kids, and Michelle Malkin got sort of loopy because she didn't know what gherkins were. That's about all I know about Obama eating habits.

They must have someone like that--probably more than one someone--I would assume...

Well he had a tendency to do that at his home also. And he spent weeks at a time with FDR during the War. He felt right at home in the White House. He was half American after all. And the Roosevelt's liked him.

re: #237 HDrepub

Okay thanks for the link.
It sounds like a permanent loan.
In museums we often receive permanent loans when we recieve a gift from another collection but for whatever reason the collection's deed of gift says that no item shall ever be deaccessioned. Clearly this is supported by teh bust being moved down the street rather than back to the UK.

If this is the case, Obama is uncouth.

God, save the Queen....

re: #241 Nevergiveup

That's actually rather cool. I've always admired Churchill in the fact he was direct and no nonsense. To see how at home he was here, speaks volumes as to what America was like during that time period.

(Though, I still like the entertaining random thought of him just streaking through a press conference.)

Is there someone on the White House staff who is in charge of advising the President and First Lady about protocol?

I'm happy that my celery doesn't depend on it.

re: #245 livefreeor die

As far as those things go? I would think that Obama's staff should have notified the curator and take it from there. But his staff sounds like Romper Room so who knows what is going on. He could have simply moved it to another room if he found it distasteful.

I find this sort of thing in my profession cringeworthy.

re: #245 livefreeor die

Of course. I doubt Obama knows their names. He has that bit of nacistic behavior that involves delegation and belittlement. The man reeks of condescension.

re: #163 ErnieG

There was a splendid Epstein bust of Winston Churchill that had a place of honor in the Oval Office, a gift to the people of the United States from the people of Great Britain. It was replaced by a bust of Lincoln, and unceremoniously returned to Great Britain.

OK, fact check from the British press:

GW was a Churchill fan
The bust was loaned to GW
GW ia back in Texas
BHO returned the loaned gift
BHO has a Lincoln bust in it's place

You left out the part where it was offered to Obama for four years and he rejected it.

Why did you leave that part out?

It's all about upbringing. The president's was lacking.

and you forgot to say that UK offered to let BO keep the bust and he said NO. Which qualifies as a snub.

WASHINGTON -- Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd is moving to allow the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to temporarily borrow as much as $500 billion from the Treasury Department.

What scare me the most is Dodd is ahead of the Banking Committee.

re: #251 OldLineTexan

Because it was not in the British press link I posted. So now we have a problem that Obama preferred a bust of Lincoln to one of Churchill in his own office ? The Commie bastard. /s I'll google for the offer, but I still see no problem with BHO picking a American icon over a British one. Now if he'd pulled a Lincoln bust for one of Churchill, I might have a issue.

Note that the top comment at Meryl's post is a whine about how Charles cruelly persecuteth people who think that God used evolution as an instrument of creation.
