    You forgot to supply the attribution for your citation:

    Of course, it rings with more authority, when presented in the original German.

    I suppose you are right.

    To jump to the assumption that I express contempt for the President, based on his ethnography rather than his behavior is a huge leap to make.

    Maybe, if like the esteemed and beloved Dr. Cornell West, I call him "Brother Obama", then I would avoid the accusation.

    Y'all didn't pay so much heed to me, when I voted for Sister Cynthia, and called on others to do the same.

    So you got another Uncle Tom. Bush, with a tan. President Oreo.

    Polar bears can, as a general rule, swim for 80 Km in frigid water. After which, they remain active and vigorous.

    We need not only better educated bears, but bears trained to swim.

    It appears that these polar bears could only dog-paddle. If polar bears are to survive the coming anti-ice age, we must be prepared to send Red Cross-approved instructors to graduate these bears for Swimming and CPR.

    He ALSO signed a continuation of Emergency Powers.

    How Nice.

    Funny this little occurrence receives so little attention, when, of these invoked powers, The Washington Times wrote on September 18, 2001:

    Simply by proclaiming a national emergency on Friday, President Bush activated some 500 dormant legal provisions, including those allowing him to impose censorship and martial law.

    I guess there wasn't enough NewSpeak in that article for the WT to preserve it from their Memory Hole. Here it is on the Wayback:

    Now, back to Barry's continuation of the legacy:

    Notice of September 9, 2011

    Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks

    Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency previously declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the
    terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.

    Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2011. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency that was declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.

    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

    I hate all of these. It's WORSE when they add "gestures" or other crap. The additional manager they add on the mouse controlpanel for Windows machines is a "value-subtracted" offering.

    I use the old, Thinkpad trackpoint thingie. Or I go bluetooth.

    The newest pads can't be disabled on Linux - with no driver, they are PS/2 emulation only! I had to open the chassis and pull the ribbon cable out.
