Connect The Dots: Obama And Reindeer-Dung Jewelry

Don't laugh, it's true. Obama and Reindeer-dung jewelry both call Illinois home. That's not the only dot worth connecting, though.

Courtesy of an Illinois zoo. No wonder Obama got his start in Illinois, those damned people will buy anything!

The $15 pendant necklaces contain dried, sterilized reindeer droppings — sprayed with glitter — on a beaded chain. They'll be available at the zoo's gift shop, or by mail for $20. The ornaments are back, and 450 have already sold this season. About 1,500 are still available for $7.50, or $10 by mail.

Unfortunately, they aren't able to buy a whole lot these days because the largely corrupt and liberal state is bankrupt. That's the other dot, bankrupt, just like Obama is currently making us and the US.

You can check that out in a video courtesy of two Republicans running there I've posted on before - McKenna and Murphy. Thanks to Blago, we may have a shot at making some gains in Illinois. Along with the video, if you want to help them out, that's the place.

Sure would be nice to notch some wins in Obama's home state. The Reindeer-dung jewelry costs extra, of course. It kind of reminds me of Democrats in a few ways, now that I think about it!

Americans are going to be sorely disappointed when they discover that all of Obama's economic road signs lead straight to Grove Parc Plaza Chicago, Illinois.

Economic pain, the best education protected-class Ivy-inbred academics are incapable of learning.

This is what passes for "insight" among the dregs of the right wing blogosphere. It's so juvenile, petty and witless that it pretty much says it all about what right wingers have to offer these days. If you want someone to actually try to help regular people facing difficult challenges, get a Democrat who actually gives a sh*t. If you want empty, petty nihilism, get a wing nut like Riehl. Dan, what was the last constructive suggestion you made here?

I have never seen anyone complain so much about something yet use it so much while complaining about it? Bob - since your blog is so much better I would love to visit it. Can you post a link to it? I am being serious, I would really like to read your blog and post on it. I am sure you must get a million hits a day given you critique of Riehl's site. Only a person willing to critique someone else as much as you do Dan would have something to offer up as an example of a blog that is not juvenile, petty and witless. Or do you just critique and are afraid of being critiqued, answering the question as to why you don't have a blog, or why if you do, you are not willing to link us to it?

People like Riehl (and you) whose only apparent role in life is to be unfair, petty and vicious have no basis to complain when someone criticizes them for it. If Riehl ever once showed a trace of fairness or intellectual honesty, maybe I'd be the first to acknowledge it. But he never does. I can almost not believe how he constantly out-does himself with crude, petty commentary like the post above. I believe that people like him (and you) are harming our political discourse, and I think there's something useful in pointing out your unfairness and hypocrisy. You don't like it? Too bad. Maybe you can whine about it some more.

"If Riehl ever once showed a trace of fairness or intellectual honesty, maybe I'd be the first to acknowledge it. But he never does. I can almost not believe how he constantly out-does himself with crude, petty commentary like the post above."

This from the lying, hypocritical, cowardly racist skank whose idea of "honest debate" is "Dude, YOU're the one dressed up like an ewok".

Dance, bitch, dance! (guffaw)

[O!]

Bob, thank you for that additional helping of Journolist/Axelturf talking point spam.

2010.

Bob, I aked you a simple question - do you have your own blog, its not a trick question, it has only two answers from wich you can respond with to answer the question: yes or no.

so let me ask the question again: do you bob have your own blog? yes or no? and how about applying some of that honesty to your answer since you expect it from Dan and me by telling the truth.

Oh, hell, x11, Bob doesn't know the difference between commentary and having fun. I'm sure he's over at the fever swamps at DU and Kos telling them how their lunacy is ruining political discource. And speaking of ocean front property in Arizona!

[x11b1p]

templar - all bob has to do is tranny up and answer yes or no, the truth is always in whats not being said, and so far bob wont answer the question. i wont assume, however whats he/she got to be afraid of when it comes to telling the truth?

[Darth Venomous]

Speaking of trolls, Templar - what's happened to lgm, RSS and the others over at Michelle's? Don't see 'em much anymore, and I can't get on there myself to ask.

[templar knight]

Dont'know, DV, as I haven't been following the comments there, but have found myself on the climate blogs of late. But liberal trolls are a dime a dozen, so I'm sure others have taken their place.

Bob is hardly an honest man, x11, so yes or no is difficult for a liar. He prefers the gray area where most liberals inhabit. Nothing is black or white to a liberal, and there is no right or wrong to those people.

[x11b1p]

templar - gray area is a very kind place to put bob. anyone who calls people names and then whines about being called names, or demands honesty and wont be honest is a pos in my opinion.

[x11b1p]

as expected no "yes" or "no" answer from bob? i am sure he will pop up in a couple of days when we see him typing the word "wing nut" to describe us as and blasting dan for having such a deplorable site, and in the same sentence cry about being called names and justify it becuse we are all dishonest, yet he/she won't answer a simple question. I wonder why?

[Bob]

"Bob, I aked you a simple question - do you have your own blog, its not a trick question, it has only two answers from wich you can respond with to answer the question: yes or no."

No, I don't and never have had my own blog. There -- now I've answered both of your outstanding questions. Now maybe you can answer a question for me: Is it true that Medicare and Veterans Administraton patients like their GOVERNMENT-RUN healthcare better than people with private insurance do? It's a simple yes-or-no question . . .
