THE DUKE OF EARL

DukeOfEarlBaja

It really doesn’t make sense anymore to refer to Barack Obama as the “President” of the United States of America. He has long since abandoned the duties and responsibilities of that office as outlined in the Constitution, instead assuming powers which that document was specifically designed to outlaw. He needs a new title — but what should it be? The Duke of Earl would work for me, conveying both the pretension and the absurdity of the role he is trying to play. As he walks through this world, nothing can stop him — because he’s the Duke of Earl. Or is that being unfair to a great and wonderfully witty rock and roll song?

DEFENSELESS

United States Supreme Court Building

Now that the Supreme Court has struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, what stands between me, an unprotected straight man, and gay marriage?

I guess I will just have to go ahead and marry a man, since my last line of defense against the inevitability of this has been swept away.

BIG STATE, LITTLE DICKS

The gentleman of the Texas State Legislature didn’t treat this little lady very well, did they? Indeed they behaved towards her like craven eunuchs.

Oh, men of Texas, you who once fought the merciless Comanche, tamed a wilderness and treated women with gallantry — your strain grows weaker.

RECIPROCITY

It appears that Edward Snowden may not be in Russia, but if he is Putin should respond to America’s arrogant and self-righteous demands for extradition by proposing the following — if Obama will ensure that James Clapper is prosecuted for lying to Congress, Russia will return Snowden to America so he can be prosecuted for exposing Clapper’s lies. That seems fair doesn’t it?

MOVEMENT

Much more of the brain is devoted to movement than to language. Language is only a little thing sitting on top of this huge ocean of movement.

THE LITTLE FUGITIVE

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testifies in Washington

The present whereabouts of James Clapper (above) are not known — and the Obama administration isn’t offering any hints — but he’s believed to be hiding out in a government office building in McLean, Virginia hoping to avoid prosecution for lying to Congress, a crime that could land Clapper in jail for as much as five years. Both China and Russia have urged Obama to turn Clapper over to the DOJ for immediate indictment, to demonstrate to the world America’s commitment to the rule of law.

CLOWNS

The U. S. government needs to stop whining to foreign governments about not following the rule of law with respect to Edward Snowden — it just throws into starker relief the practices of an administration which sees the “law” as an inconvenience it can disregard at will. Our spokesmen, like John Kerry, might as well wear red rubber noses and floppy clown shoes when they lecture other governments on the rule of law.

Don’t they realize the world is laughing at them?

LIABILITY

ObamaCriminal

Barack Obama is clearly, on the face of it, guilty of violating his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”. Violating an oath of office is, for a federal official, a federal crime. However, although the law is not settled on this point, there’s a general consensus that a sitting President cannot be indicted in a regular court of law, because of the issues this raises about the separation of powers.

FederalPrisonCell

The best way to get Obama into jail is thus for the House to impeach him and the Senate to convict him on the articles of impeachment, removing him from office. Then it will be possible to prosecute him criminally and send him to prison.

We need to get on this right away!

ASYLUM

KimJong-un

Barack Obama and his intelligence director James Clapper have both apparently opened secret negotiations with Kim Jong-un about the possibility of seeking asylum in North Korea in case they are prosecuted in the United States for their joint role in subverting the U. S. Constitution and, in Mr. Clapper’s case, lying to Congress. The State Department needs to revoke their passports immediately to insure they don’t avoid justice here at home.

A NEW REVIEW

On Amazon:

An excellent, satisfying yarn

Why are most novels so long? It’s a function of the economics of the publishing industry more than art. Fonvielle shows how in 82 pages one can tell a complete and even epic tale. Set during the California Gold Rush, the action moves from lush New Orleans to the dangerous open plains of the midwest to the hallucinatory heat of the Nevada desert as the two main characters, Missouri and Jim, learn to trust and love one another. I read it in one sitting. It’s filled with action, emotion, humor, and heartache.

You a fan of Westerns? Adventure stories? Great storytelling? If the answer is yes to any of those, you’ll want to add this to your collection.
