Where Does the Vice President Belong?
By GLENN HARLAN REYNOLDS

• Constitutionally, we should pass a law to keep Joe Biden from assuming the executive power that Dick Cheney is allowed under the Constitution.¹

‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

¹ Cf. Professor Reynolds’s June 23, 2007 exegesis on vice-presidential powers.

The answer appears to be: working at the IKEA in Dusseldorf.

RedState asks:

Why is Nigeria 5th in foreign web users at barackobama.com? […] Is there a huge scam eminating from Nigeria???

Dear Mr. State,

Maybe so.

Planck’s Constant asks:

But what about all the millions of Democrats – they can’t all be anti-American – why would they be giving money to a person who is barely qualified to run a Harlem barbershop? Can they all be that stupid? Do they really want a closet communist whose friends and spiritual mentors are anti-American terrorists and Jew-hating demagogues to be President of this country? Can they all be that naive or blind?

Dear Mr. Constant,

You seem to be assuming that running a Harlem barber shop is easy. Instead of scissors, you have to rely on clippers to a remarkable degree. And, well, let’s go to Black Hair Media, the website for “Hair Care and Beauty Information for Women of Color” and see what they’re talking about these days:

McCain’s Current Adviser Endorses Obama

The Wall Street Journal today rounds up the horde of prominent Republicans jumping ship to Barack Obama. Now one of John McCain’s actual advisers has switched sides:

Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January.

This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision “is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis.”

TPM has the press releases touting Fried’s presence on the McCain campaign.

Does that answer the rest of your questions?

Also, Black Hair Media officially wins the Internet:

James4America asks:

Why was the PACER system “links” in the Berg v. Obama docket disabled just MOMENTS before the decision was faxed out? Is it possible that the Judge had actually issued a DIFFERENT ruling, and was FORCED to issue the one that was sent to him? …Does this explain the comments from the Obama camp all through Friday the 24th that ALL Obstacles to the White House had been overcome, and “they now had a clear path.”?

Dear Mr. 4America,

Indeed, who will watch the watchers? Please add your research to the Obama Death List and email it to all the AOL.com, WalMartConnect, and CompuServe addresses in your email address book. Your ideas are intriguing to us and we wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Pat Buchanan asks:

What if ‘SNL’ mocked Michelle Obama? […] ‘Saturday Night Live’ would be facing hate-crime charges.

Dear Mr. Buchanan,

That’s exactly why they’ll never do that.

Gateway Pundit asks:

The LA Times has video of Obama toasting a former PLO operative at a Jew-bash but will not release the video. This is outrageous. Obviously, this video would do great damage to Obama who struggles with Jewish voters due to his circle of close anti-Semitic friends. Maybe this is the reason it is not being released?

Dear Mr. Pundit.

Probably. We went to a Jew bash once, but got freaked out when they stomped on the glassware and carried the guy around on the chair.

We also visited a Judo master and, um, something about Jujubes, except we can’t decide how to set that one up, so there you go.

Mark Levin asks:

The question is whether enough Americans understand what’s at stake in this election and, if they do, whether they care. Is the allure of a charismatic demagogue so strong that the usually sober American people are willing to risk an Obama presidency?

Mr. Levin,

‘Usually sober’ is also a good way to describe the sawed-off fireplug of bad legal reasoning and hysterical self-promotion that sits in the farted-out office chair of Mark Levin. …Yes, that’s what someone might say who wished to lower his or herself to rudeness. For our part, we would rather say that whenever… Wait, ssh! What was that noise?

Oh my God, hide under your desk, Mr. Levin. Hide under a coat on the coat rack. No, no, in here; in this closet. No, leave your shoe. Get in! Get in! Just squeeze in! It’s Dalia Lithwick, and she looks hungry!

Um, yes, where were we? ‘Usually sober’ is also a good way to describe the sawed-off fireplug of bad legal reasoning and hysterical self-promotion that sits in the farted-out office chair of the closeted Mark Levin.

More on Palin’s Nazi connections here. Excerpt:

In 1989 this writer attended a Populist Party meeting in Chicago chaired by Shearer where the featured speaker was David Duke. Security was provided by Art Jones, Chicago’s foremost uniformed Nazi, who choked a TV news reporter with his necktie for critically questioning Duke at the meeting. Jones was also a regular participant in Aryans Nation gatherings when they were planning insurrectionist activities, at least two of which were witnessed by this writer. It is not clear why Shearer picked Jones to provide security or why Phillips selected Shearer for national leadership of the new Party.

During and after this period Sarah Palin maintained friendly relations with the Alaska branch of the Constitution Party for many years, according to many news reports. She attended their convention again in 2000 and in 2006 sought their support for her run for governor. In June 2008 she sent them a video wishing them “good luck on a successful and inspiring convention, keep up the good work and God bless you.”

Her husband Todd joined the party during the period of militancy in 1995 and changed his voter registration in 2002 to “undeclared.”

Gramps McSame rattles his, er, saber:

“I’m gonna test them,” Republican John McCain said at a campaign rally in New Mexico [yesterday]. “They’re not gonna test me.”

♫ ♫ Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. ♫♫

The coming Race War under an Obama presidency is scaring Our Lady of the Blessed Apostrophe, so much so that Marie Jon’ feels the need to regurgitate every wingnut smear against the man in a single column.

‘The specter of an Obama administration is foreboding,’ she begins, to which we can only add that its zombie will also prove to be foreshadow. After a few potshots at Fannie and Freddie, Bill Ayers and noted commie-capitalist George Soros, plus a lengthy cut-and-past job from some crank, Marie Jon’ really gets down to business — her condensed history of America:

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith

2. From spiritual faith to great courage

3. From courage to liberty

4. From liberty to abundance

5. From abundance to complacency

6. From complacency to apathy

7. From apathy to dependence;*It has been suggested that this is where the USA currently finds itself

8. From dependence back into bondage

So much to work with here … and like the Chinese before us, our 200 years are almost up! In common with a syndicated horoscope, what’s great about this explanation of civilization is that you can assign whatever meaning you want to it. I’d like to think that for Marie Jon’, ‘bondage’ can only mean bondage to Britain. ‘Great courage’ is necessarily the Revolutionary War, with ‘liberty’ its fruit, while ‘abundance’ is obviously the 1950s. That means ‘complacency’ begins on Day Two of Woodstock at approximately 11:23am, with ‘apathy’ following hard in discos throughout the 1970s, back to a brief ‘abundance’ interlude sprinkled with a healthy pinch of ‘liberty’ and one giant scoop each of ‘great courage’ and ‘spiritual faith’ under Reagan, on into the ‘dependence’ era of today and soon to be overtaken by ‘bondage’ once again, under Barack Obama.

It makes sense to me, anyway. At some point, Marie Jon’ and I will have to address the problem of the ‘liberty’ period including the institutionalized enslavement, segregation and extermination of minorities, and somehow reconcile that with our claim that ‘bondage’ returns when one of said minorities is elected to our highest office … but really, that’s just a few tweaks and twiddles on the knobs of our Grand Unifying Socio-Economic Theory and shouldn’t be too difficult.

Dan Riehl:

This race is still close and were there an effective candidate who could counter Obama’s liberal nonsense with solid Right of center answers, it would be a slam dunk in the end. From the debates to the stump, McCain has not presented an image of someone who is ready to be in-charge. I suspect a great many people want to vote for him very much. Unfortunately his decision making, statements, and his appearance of flailing about has done no good service to his cause. And still he might pull this one out.

Hammer, meet nail. The ‘race is still close’ and ‘a great many people’ want to vote for John McCain very much, aside from that tiny, nagging detail that he regularly and very publicly makes terrible decisions, says retarded shit all the fucking time and couldn’t boil a pot of water without ‘suspending’ all water-boiling activities a couple times before knocking the pot over in a spasmodic rage, leaving everybody in the kitchen with second-degree burns.

Spot on political analysis, there, Danno.

Obama’s Campaign Ends: Federal Judge Orders DNC Remove Obama From All Ballots
October 24, 2008
By Daniel Downs

After reviewing evidence presented by Attorney Philip Berg, US District Court Judge Honorable R. Barry Surrick has ruled that Barak Hussein Obama was not a “natural born” or “naturalized” citizen and is ineligible to run for and/or serve as President of the United States.

Judge Surrick then ordered the Democratic National Committee to cease all campaign activity on behalf of their candidate for President. He further ordered Obama be removed from all election ballots.

OMG, They were right. They were freaking right all along. OMFG!

Oh wait.

Holy crap, Obama’s thugs are scrubbing the story.

Update: Damn you, Pastor Swank, the last laugh is yours:

JUDGE ORDERS OBAMA CAMPAIGN END
J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Judge orders Dem National Committee to halt, to remove B. Hussein Obama from “all election ballots” per Daniel Downs of Greene County Dailies.

“After reviewing evidence presented by Attorney Philip Berg, US District Court Judge Honorable R. Barry Surrick has ruled that Barack Hussein Obama was not a ‘natural born’ or ‘naturalized’ citizen and is ineligible to run for and/or serve as President of the United States.

“Judge Surrick then ordered the Democratic National Committee to cease all campaign activity on behalf of their candidate for President. He further ordered Obama be removed from all election ballots.”

Those of us following this have known all along that sooner or later truth would out even though liberal media sidelines the facts. However, liberal media is not the only voice “out there.” There are truth-sayers who give forth actual data.

Read the whole [sob!] thing!

Ding-dong. Who’s there? Oh my, it’s “Korir” of African Press International, come to explain why he hasn’t released the Michelle Obama ‘White Racists’ tape:

Democrat: Obama’s grandma confirms Kenyan birth
‘This has been a real sham he’s pulled off for the last 20 months’
Philip J. Berg

Oh hell, wrong story again. No, this is a third apocryphal Obama-related tape, this time allegedly of Obama’s grandmother saying that the infant Barack was born in Kenya. The alleged possessor of this game-changing tape is Philip Berg (now also a minor patsy in the multiple-shark-jumping African Press International saga), and the bamboozling here begins with the word ‘Democrat’ — which is, as you’ll notice, preceded by no other word in the article.

In brief, and not to offend anyone who may be wandering by from our sister site: Along with its historically dominant meaning of ‘Democrat,’ the term now provides cover for literally dozens or even hundreds of rageoholic Hillary cultists who, if not for historical accident, would be glaring scornfully at each other across the sociopolitical chasm that normally divides humorless Maeve Binchy-reading, Annie Sez-oufitted women of a notionally liberal Dolores Umbridge variety (sturdily shod, unencumbered by progeny, smelling of lavender and cat pee) from humorless crypto-LaRouchie neo-Birchers with an ear or nose hair problem and a dues-paying history in MUFON, FUFOR, CUFOS, NUFORC, or another such committee of correspondence. Also attracted to this coalition have been Democrats who don’t like black people, although of course no one answers openly to that description.

Berg, as well as being a litigious 9/11 truther fighting a war of survival against ear hair, seems to have a peculiar animus against Barack Obama that’s difficult to pin down or explain, and that he himself dismisses by mentioning that he’s a “paid-up lifetime member of the NAACP.” We merely note that these credentials are for sale on the Internet, and that the online sign-up form does not ask applicants to say one way or another whether they approve of black people.

For our part, we are paid-up lifetime members of the NWACP. It’s like the NAACP except with attitude.

As you can imagine, paying your dues is… Oh, never mind, this joke has no exit strategy.

The Pennsylvania Democrat who has sued Sen. Barack Obama demanding he prove his American citizenship – and therefore qualification to run for president – has confirmed he has a recording of a telephone call from the senator’s paternal grandmother confirming his birth in Kenya.

The issue of Obama’s birthplace, which he states is Honolulu in 1961, has been raised enough times that his campaign website has posted an image purporting to be of his “Certification of Live Birth” from Hawaii.

But Philip J. Berg, a former deputy attorney general for Pennsylvania, told the Michael Savage talk radio program tonight that the document is forged and that he has a tape recording he will soon release.

“This has been a real sham he’s pulled off for the last 20 months,” Berg told Savage. “I’ll release it [the tape] in a day or two, affidavits from her talking to a certain person. I heard the tape. She was speaking [to someone] here in the United States.”

This could be the last, best hope for truth to prevail before Obama, who is on a last-minute, quote-unquote “unscheduled” trip to Hawaii, scrubs the records and kills his grandmother.

So, a day or two, huh? Before the tapes are released? That seems agreeable.

Can she say she told us so?

She totally can! Because the Ashley Todd story is so not about the nastiness of news-cycle culture. It’s not about the depths to which our political climate has sunk. It’s not about the lengths to which a young and pathetic person would clumsily fuck a political rat for local consumption, only to see her dumb stunt implode in embarrassment and shame for all the world to see.

It’s about Michelle Malkin being RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT in this latest 24-hour hyper-cycle of political news. Which, incidentally, is probably the most risky for an individual in Ashley Todd’s position to do something even rasher and dumber to herself as the Michelle Malkins of the world gloat at her expense.

Gavin adds: See, that’s a coincidence, because Ace thinks it’s all about him being wrong.

Assuming this is true — which I do — she really screwed us nicely. She put people like me in a difficult spot as I was forced to defend her on the small chance she was on the level.
