Okay I Admit It...I Am a Zombie


TW:...young folks and I suppose some of us old farts are lobotomized by the mysterious Islamo-Kenyan-Indonesian dude...but those teabaggers...absolute pillars of well-thought out logic...

From Drudge Report advertisement for apparently a real book:
"In 2008, Barack Obama lobotomized a generation.

For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history.

Twitter messages were machine-gunned to cell phones at mach speed.

Facebook and MySpace groups spread across the Internet like digital fire.

YouTube videos featuring celebrities ricocheted across the globe and into college students’ in-boxes with devastating regularity.

All the while, the mega-money-raising engine whirred like a slot machine stuck on jackpot.

The result: an unthinking mass of young voters marched forward to elect the most radical and untested president in U.S. history.

Recognized as one of the country’s top young conservative activists by Human Events, Jason Mattera created an internet sensation with ambush video interviews that exposed clueless young liberals and cunning Democratic officials. Now he reveals the jaw-dropping lengths Barack Obama and his allies in Hollywood, Washington, and Academia went to in order to transform a legion of iPod-listening, MTV-watching followers into a winning coalition that threatens to become a long-lasting political realignment.

Obama Zombies uncovers the true, behind-the-scenes story of the methods and tactics the Obama campaign unleashed on youth culture. Through personal interviews and meticulous original research, Mattera explains why conservatism’s future rests upon jolting the young masses from their slumber, yanking out their earphones, and sparking a countercultural conservative battle against the rise of the ignorant Left

The WaPo POTUS Tracker

TW: As I have had said before anyone running for public office has to have an incredible ego and glutton for punishment. Anyone running for POTUS is deranged given the campaigning dynamics and demands of the office. WaPo has come up with the POTUS tracker so that everyone can get a feel for what our POTUS does practically every minute of the day. And yes we expect more from a POTUS than any single person can ever deliver.

ps- btw every opposing party whines about POTUS vacations, if there is one person that deserves and should take vacation it is a POTUS. Spending 30% of your time at a Potemkin ranch is a slightly different story but that tendency was the least of his problems.

Obama Cuvee

From Der Spiegel:
"...A [French] female vintner, originally from Africa, has created an Obama wine -- and is donating all the profits to an NGO in Darfur.

...French winemaker Angela Bousquet-Keita, who hails originally from Guinea in Africa, has created the Obama cuvée (or vintage wine) to celebrate the election of the first African-American to the White House. Bousquet-Keita, who believes she is the only black female winemaker in the entire country, described how she felt a "moment of ecstasy" when Obama won the election. "It was the advent of a world that I had always dreamed of for my children," she told the French daily Le Monde.

While she intends to charge a steep €150 ($198) for three bottles of the wine, Bousquet-Keita says all the profits will go to an NGO working in the Darfur region of Sudan.

She hopes to be able to present the president with a bottle personally when he visits France in June. Made from three different grapes, she says the wine should improve with age: "It will be much better when served during his second term."

Over the Top: The Obama Lava Lamp

TW: Lava lamps were a refugee of the 70's which have seen periodic rebounds so naturally someone feels the need to create the Obama lamp...and no we will not be buying one...I don't think.
