#1 To misquote some dead German guy: "When I hear the words 'social justice', I reach for my pistol."

#2 You're thinking of Ernst ~~Rahm~~ Röhm.

The actual quote is "Wenn ich Kultur höre ... entsichere ich meinen Browning!" This translates as: "Whenever I hear [the word] 'culture'... I remove the safety from my Browning!"

(This quote is often mistakenly attributed to leading Nazi Hermann Goering, or occasionally to Julius Streicher. This misattribution may date from the famous Frank Capra documentaries (Why We Fight) shown to American troops before shipping out.

In fact, it is a line uttered by the character Thiemann in Act 1, Scene 1 of the play Schlageter, written by Hanns Johst. The association with Nazism is appropriate, as the play was first performed in April 1933, in honor of Hitler's birthday. At the time the word "Browning" was used to refer to any pistol).

#4 It is doubtful Ebbang. The words "culture" and "Obama" are quite distant, unless you punctuate the language with clicking sounds.

#5 Since Obama's maternal grandfather ("the furniture salesman") and his mother both seem to have been wholly owned properties of the CIA, I suspect that the intent with Obama was that he be a deep cover Cold Warrior, able to penetrate the Kremlin itself.

But "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Obama?" With the end of the Cold War, here is a man who can convince anyone that he is a hardcore leftist, with gold plated radical credentials. So why shouldn't the CIA have their own senator?

Among his committee assignments were the International Security subcommittee of Homeland Security and 5 subcommittees in Foreign Relations.

H.W. Bush had been DCIA and become president, so why not allow an agent to become POTUS?

#7 I really enjoy your posts moose.

Regarding OTUS and the CIA. Are we not all assets owned by someone. Are you not owned?

Now, regarding the OWS protestors, many were, I'm sure, on unemployment, so let us gladly shift the burden of their upkeep.

Though it is likely that the taxpayers pay for these people directly or indirectly whether they are unemployed, or acting for the parties and unions or the big corporations and investment firms they protest.

Maybe these protesters will realize after their short stint on Wall Street that they should be inside the buildings where a much larger portion of government money is divided amongst a much smaller group of goons.

Their educations surely were overpriced if they haven't learned that lesson by now though, har har.

#8 Guess which corporation jumped in to support the Wall Street protesters?

Ben and Jerry's.

I wonder what countries might be interested in giving support.
