Thank goodness that Pres. Obama is now committed to repealing DADT. Now openly gay men and women can go to Afghanistan and help with this problem of sexual identity thing that some Pashtuns suffer from. Thank goodness there are men and women that are familiar with this problem willing to serve their country and help their fellow men with this closet issue.

Interrogating the Christmas Undie Bomber
Posted by madjillmom on January 27, 2010
It comes out that the administration is now admitting to only 50 minutes of interrogation of the Christmas Undie Bomber. Robert Gibbs has told us that they were able to get all there was to get from him in that 50 minutes. It takes me longer than 50 minutes to find out who ate the candy bar I left on the counter. It takes a few minutes to set up the waterboard.

Pay Czar Executive Compensation Clawbacks
Posted by madjillmom on January 21, 2010
The Obama Pay Czar is coming around to trying to get compensation clawbacks from executives of large banks and possibly AIG. Will there be clawbacks required from the political appointees that have run Fanny and Freddie into the ground? Or GM and Chrysler? I won’t hold my breath.
Jobs report comes in bad. Obama announces new restrictions of large investment banks after trotting out a new tax on the banks last weekend. Thank goodness everything is going so well.

Haiti and Homeland Security
Posted by madjillmom on January 14, 2010
This morning, Pres. Obama hauled part of his cabinet and Sheriff Joe to the podium to tell us all that our priority now is Haiti. In this group was Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security. Does the President think that Haiti is one of the 57 states? We are just a few weeks past the Christmas terrorist attempt on Northwest Airlines. We are a few months past the killing of 14 by a home-grown extremist. There was epic failure on Christmas, according to the President. It would make us all feel good to help out in Haiti, but doesn’t Homeland Security have enough to do at this time. Is Homeland Security priority in Haiti? Isn’t it the State Dept. that is responsible for our citizens abroad? I do not think that muslim extremist are breaking out in Haiti. I wonder how the Katrina refugees will feel when money and resources go to Haiti. I feel bad for the people of Haiti, but wonder what can be done to when a country has failed on so many levels. If we can’t fix New Orleans, how can we fix Haiti?
It also seems that Pres. Obama has also told us that the economy and jobs are their first priority. Oh, yeah, don’t forget Obamacare.

Cosmo’s Sexiest Man ’82 Can Take Down Obamacare
Posted by madjillmom on January 14, 2010
A few nights ago, while reading Althouse, I learned that the Republican candidate for the Mass. Senate seat was chosen as the sexiest man in ’82. I am not sure how the candidate handles this bio point, but I feel that he could be crowned sexiest in 2010 if he wanted to. In ’82, men were more manly than the current crop of androgynous pretty boys that would be chosen by Cosmo editors now. While I cringe when I think of Helen Gurley Brown drying out while pedaling soft core smut, there was a time when such a display of manliness was of interest to me. I hope he wins. If I had a little extra money, I would send it to this guy. He would be way easier on the eyes than Teddy was for the last 3 decades. Take a look at Scott Brown’s Cosmo pictures if you were as curious as I was.

Game Change: John and Elizabeth v. Palin
Posted by madjillmom on January 10, 2010
For the last week, several blogs and tv programs have features this new book, Game Change. For the first 5 days or so, all I heard about was the “revelation” regarding Sarah Palin calling Joe Biden “O’Biden”, something that Palin herself had already written about in Going Rogue. This story has been passed around as proof positive that Palin is an idiot. Whatever, not real proof or real earth shattering. But now, I have read an excerpt from the book regarding the Edwards Campaign. OMG!! I am now certain that the press will knock over a real story to pursue a non story to discredit Sarah Palin.
I have heard for several years about the long suffering Elizabeth Edwards. How wonderful she is. If 1/10th of this story is true, she is a nut-case just like her husband’s mistress and all the people who witnessed this stuff firsthand should thank their lucky stars that Obama won. I am not thankful that Obama won, but given the Edward’s saga, better Obama than John. At least I was wise enough to vote for Hillary in the primary.
