The Dunking Chair

There is a simple but lengthy solution to all these many sexual harassment accusations and denials that are flying around the media these days. First, quickly resolve all cases where physical evidence is overwhelming. Then, one by one, in a very public forum (Constitution Hall?), place the remaining accusers under oath and penalty of perjury,then ask them for the specifics of their accusations. Next follow this up by similar questioning of the defendants. Then, if things are still not resolved, hook them all up to a very good lie-detector and qualified  questioner to finalize things.

If things are still not resolved, put the accused each in a dunking chair and hold them under water for five minutes. If they drown, then they were innocent.

A Gift

When asked, before he became President by a fellow U.S. Senator, why he spoke so well from a Teleprompter, Barack Obama replied, “It’s a gift.”  Yes, when reading someone else’s words, Obama was a savant. And he has gotten even better during his years in the White House – his staccato timing, his head bobs, his look-aways, his pursed lips, his pregnant pauses, his upraised chin, his cool demeanor, his well-timed hand gestures – all combine to make him a very convincing seller of his ghostwriter’s words.  His delivery is so special that, even after telling whopper after whopper (witness the recent revelations of all those Obamacare lies), much of the American public keeps nodding in sympathy with his next questionable pronouncement.  (I heard one wag on the radio today say that his Teleprompter needs to be replaced by a lie detector.)

Here is a taste of Obama’s gift for Teleprompter gab? See: YouTube video.

Afterward: The White House talking points which are being repeated in the main-stream media echo chamber say that, although millions of individuals are now losing their healthcare insurance, corporate plans are not affected under Obamacare.  Has everyone forgotten that the corporate mandate has recently been postponed by Obama for one year?  Is this just another fib in the fabric of fibs surrounding Obamacare?
