WELL IT IS GROUND HOG DAY

Kerry Skis While Davos Demos Dive.
John Kerry unsuccessfully tried to organize a Democratic Party filibuster to prevent the nomination of Judge Alito to the Supreme Court from the — literally — rarefied atmosphere of Switzerland’s ski slopes. Finding that the Demo’s obfuscating arguments against Alito were getting their own people confused, the effort flopped and Alito became the newest Justice. The words “Davos Democrats” entered the vernacular for the first time (for those who spend little time on sticks: Davos is a ski resort in Switzerland), causing hysterics in most Republicans and making them change their underwear.

Bush, er, Bad. Bad Boy. Sit.
Here’s a surprise — virtually every talking head, newspaper and anyone with access to a computer was dissecting every adjective of the State of the Union speech and generally droning on about how bad it was. Energy policy — or lack thereof — seemed to have drawn a lot of flak, though apparently EVERYthing GB presented was wrong, incorrect, tepid, simplistic, farcical and otherwise unworthy. (Personally, I missed the national policy segment of the speech, because I just don’t care enough). The San Francisco Congressional and House contingents simply hated it en masse. Grave walking whacky Peace Mom — who should meet whacky Dead Bomber Sons’ mom and compare notes — was tossed, assuring that her 10 minutes of fame, which was up at least 120 minutes ago, continued.

Dysfunctional Diatribes Continue
The terrorist Mutts and Murderers Society has called for yet another jihad — get this — because a paper in Denmark had the audacity to print cartoons of Allah. They added Israel to the list as well, but no one can figure out why. The cartoons appeared in a SEPTEMBER 2005 edition here. Then, crazy ol’ President Ahmadinejad of Iran said the rest of the world should allow Iran to live in peace while it tries to destroy the rest of the world; Iran’s defense minister said Iran’s Air Force is ready to defend Iran (yeah, so was Iraq’s).
