#2 Now I ask you, is this a man concerned or worried about scandals? Concerned about his legacy? Concerned about the financial plight of a vast number of US citizens? Is he [the esteemed constitutional expert and Harvard grad] totally daft? Of course NOT! He knows he has absolutely nothing to worry about, either now or when he leaves office. No one could be that cavalier without being 'fully wired' and insulated. No one!

#3 Obama vacations, an effective strategy:

Constituent view: Fully supportive. It's our turn. He takes care of us, we take care of him. He's entitled and besides, it angers 'The Man' and causes 'The Man' to boil with anger, rage, and resentment, which can easily be exploited as racist.

Non-Constituent [The Man] view: Fully unsupportive. Seen as slothfulness, wasteful, and gross inattention to duty. Causes boiling anger, rage, and resentment which can easily be viewed as racist.

#4 Remember the snit the Left made about Prez Bush continuing to read to the school kids after he'd been told of a plane striking a building in New York. However, a few minutes later as second notice occurred, he was back on the job. Right back at you. Your guy is AWOL. Anytime, any place. One set of rule for everyone.

#5 Has there ever been a time when the PotUS and his cronies, sycophants and advisors have NOT been "the man"?

How is this impossible state supposed to have come about? And I thought a Klein bottle was hard to understand 8^{

#6 Here, AlanC. They're easier to understand when you can hold one in your hands.

#7 It is remarkable how isolationist oriented el prez's domestic agitprop program is; how visually unaproachable he is yet has a vested interest in the kind of light bulp you use.

FDR: "Hey, you know what would make this whole Phillipines thing go away? Horseback riding, that's what. On a gay English draft horse named Blacky. Churchll named it. Where are my waffles?"

#8 I'm afraid that they'll run out of vacation ideas.

#10 And I mean that. RMN would have made Vlad come into thru the kitchen entrance.

#11 If I remember correctly, TW, what is offered at the link is a three-dimensional representation of a four-dimensional object. Sort of like a tesseract.

#12 TW, those phony Klein bottles are just a commercial faux-Klein bottle.

I want one that passes through itself WITHOUT a hole. This whole crowd lives in the middle of their imaginary bottle that they made by gluing the edges of their Moibus strip intellects (no beginning, no ending, one dimensional) together. ;^)

#13 1/ That bike's too small
2/ The saddle is WAY WAY WAY too low.

#14 Bobby, AlanC -- yes to you both, and I do understand, AlanC, though I'm not up on tesseracts beyond the explanation in A Wrinkle In Time. Nonetheless, I've been gifting the things to select recipients for a decade now. All but the engineer received them with shrieks of glee. (The engineer looked at it and said, "Yeah. So?" which was terribly disappointing. But as I had married him, It became mine without further effort -- such being one of the major joys of married life.) This is the gentleman who manufactures them: Cliff Stoll -- TED Talk Mr. Wife remembers him from a mutual timeline intersection in the University of Buffalo dorms back when they were a good deal younger than either is now,

#16 TW, never thought that those bottles aren't way cool. I may have to ask for one for Xmas. 8^)

However, what would make it really cool would be trapping the souls of this regime and all their supporters in the endless loop. Of course that assumes that this crew HAS souls, probably not a good bet 8^(

#17 I own one of those bottles made by the Webmaster TW linked, if you've ever had a yen for one by it from him. The box it arrives in (hand lettered!) and the instructions are crazy good, also he's a nice guy.

#18 Oh heck, didn't see your 2nd comment TW, yeah. You want a Klein bottle, this is the goto, he's funny as hell.

#21 There is a flower within my heart,
Lazy, lazy.
I've always felt like a man apart;
I think I'm really swell.
Whether she loves me or loves me not,
I tolerate Michelle:
Without her there couldn't be Camelot,
This beautiful lazy shell.

Lazy, lazy, sweet land of liberty,
You're half crazy, watching me on TV.
That muslims might burn the coptics,
Could make for lousy optics,
But life is sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for me.
