Both Fingers

President Obummer has taken his finger symbolism to another playful level ... flashing Churchill's "V" for victory sign at a gathering of international leaders for nuclear security this week. His newest digital sign is perhaps not just a hippy wish for peace ... but a tongue-in-cheek combination of his previous Shahada pledge (see: A Different Finger) and his middle finger salute (see: One Finger Salute) ... in response to all the Internet buzz about his previous cryptic digital representations, For the story on his latest flashing see: Daily Mail Commentary.

I know, I know. Enough of this obsession with Obummer's obsession with fingers. This is the last posting this issue, I promise!

The Smirk

I don't know about you, but I often get the feeling the President Obama enjoys twisting the tail of the collective American public. Whenever he says something that he must know drives us up the wall, he often gets that half smirk on his face ... for an example, see the following video about his "non-foreknowledge" of Jonathan Gruber's role in crafting Obamacare: Breitbart Video. He knows he is lying ... and he knows that we know he is lying. His half smirk is his way of giving his enemies the one-finger salute and showing his gang members that he is still the alpha dog. All that is really missing is that playground taunt, "NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH!"

How did we Americans get ourselves into such a Kafkaesque position?

Wee Weed Up

Fast-growing small marijuana plants? Kindergarten slang for being upset? Wild growth of dandelions? Pissing up a rope? A room full of bed wetters? Exactly what did Barack Obama mean when he used this unfamiliar street vernacular (or, rather, scatological term), "wee weed up" see Barack Obama speaks? Didn't Jack Paar lose his job in 1960 by using the tame English bathroom term "WC' (water closet). Now, we have a President who can obliquely refer to our urinating without any repercussion. Oh, well ... if, during his campaign, he can slyly give the one-finger salute to Hillary Clinton and to John McCain without a public ripple, I guess he can insult his current opposition by questioning their bladder control.
