I've just realised ...

* America has a President who has actually done a reasonable to good job in extremely trying circumstances, but almost everyone hates him passionately anyway and is likely to vote for someone far less able next time (and without even Reagan's redeeming qualities).

* It's bleedingly obvious that our reliance on oil is fucking up the entire world, but people are sticking their fingers in their ears and singing LALALALALALA! when alternatives are announced.

* I have a fringe.

* The global economy is tanking due to private over-reach being blamed entirely on governments (who in reality mostly bear a part of the blame, but very rarely even the bare majority of it).

* Skylab Redux is about to occur.

We are TOTALLY reliving the 1970s!

If you hear any whistling sounds coming from above this afternoon, duck, and then grab a pair of tongs and see if you can pick up a sale-able piece of space junk!

One thing my dad likes to do is blame every day inconveniences on Obama. Burnt toast? It's Obama's fault. Probably because it was socialist toast. ;P

Poor Obama! At the moment, he either needs to bump off someone all Americans hate again, or else survive an attack himself if he;s to claw back popularity ratings. I vote for him outlawing Donald Trump.

Too damn true.

One of the fake news anchors - I think it was Jon Stewart - commented about two weeks after Bin Laden died that "After a brief surge in popularity, President Obama's approval rating is back down to pre-Bin Laden figures. Proving, beyond all doubt, that there is absolutely nothing he can do to get Americans to like him."
