The Tragic Death Of Od

24 Comments

This is indeed tragic!

Incompetent Harvard ideologues are a dime a dozen, the northeast alone could keep Nile River hippos in crunchy snacks indefinitely, but a really good Thai dwarf trap artist is irreplaceable!

Do you really think that things going as well as you describe?

I suppose that I just haven't gotten used to the daily humiliations yet.

In the land of Od

Life can be good, but ends in a snap. Dang.
Sgt, getting used to the humiliations of the BHO WH isn't in the DNA of the Conservative base of the nation. It will always be like sand in an oyster.
Perhaps a nacreous solution will coat the Chosen Moron and a Pearl of Great Wealth will emerge?

They dont seem to have any guts to them. They've had these huge majorities in congress and the White House and look how at sea they are. The moderates on either side are irrelevant, its now a war between two hostile ideologies. We are right and we will win. When unemployment is at ten percent for more than a year, and it will be, people will be ready to listen to Supply Side talk.

Thats the most optimistic thing I've heard anybody say about Barry in a long time. He's sure to emerge from his first-ever executive job much wealthier than when he arrived but wiser? Our Grandchildren will be smacking their forheads as this reincarnation of Jimmy Carter roams the Earth pandering to bloodthirsty idiots.

Gar

This is going to be the mother of all pearls(ouch, pun not intended) because this grain of sand is the size of a bowling ball!

You are correct about the DNA. It's the self-loathing gene that produces liberals!

Skep

Gutless would be a step up for these people; they're going to have to butch up just to get to cowardly!

Unemployment is going to be a huge factor. I think there are several categories of unemployment that are serving as significant mind changers.

The 18-24 age group is at 52%, while overall unemployment, adjusted for those who have quit looking or taken part-time jobs, is effectively 17%.

Every May & June we get a new crop of grads, who having quaffed deeply at the kool-aid trough, emerge seeking those high paying jobs their professors told them were just waiting for them. They are shocked!

Some go to grad school where they can keep the illusion alive for a time but they will eventually be competing for the same job at Starbucks as their undergrad friends.

Reality is a great teacher, many political souls are being saved daily!! HaHaHa!

Is "Od" Just a Metaphor, Skep,.....

or is this really a true story?

I mean the name, his physical appearance, what occurred, and his occupation border on the surreal. If what you related is true concerning "Od", then "Life imitating Hollywood" takes on a whole new meaning; and I probably need to drop the "name" my grandchildren call me (i.e., "Crockett"). Either that or I never go even near Alamo, Tennesssee.

A truly interesting article Skep, and an even more interesting metaphor/observation.

PS: It appears that in Mississippi, the upper middle class Black community is dropping in their support of the Democrats. The "welfare" Black community seems to be increasing in their "shrillness" of their support. I am not sure what all of this means.

Skep

Pop some corn, get a cold drink and sit back and watch. He WILL take Liberalism down with him.

Sarge

What those statistics dont show are the number of grads who have been forced to take jobs way below their expectations. There is an air of desperation among young kids. When I worked on the night shift on G-Force, a real dead-end gig, most of my co-workers were fresh out of art school with six-figure debts and VERY limited career prospects. I think of how easy in was (in comparison) when I was that age. If you wanted to work you worked. It didnt take four months to find a crappy job. Now they look around and see who's running things. The Old Left Boomers. The enemy.

Gray Ghost

The incident with Od really happened. Of course I turned it into a metaphor but you can Google it. It really happened. What a way to go, eh?

Verrrry interesting two posts

Look, the problem with having God deal with evil right now, is: He rarely does. He may use people , nations, and cultural, eco. and even political situations to nail the bums but even then, it could take years. As Obamacare ruins the nation, as Cap and Tax does too and debt piles up, the Dem libs can do the most outrageous things to America and nothing will happen in a spiritual manner to stop it. Yet, yet, people in strange times sometimes rally with great Godly efforts to stamp out evil and stop ruination. We saw it in WWII especially. And Reagan tearing down the wall et al. It can be done but it will take unity of purpose, prayer and patience. God works very very very slowly sometimes. People often don't have that much time to deal with evil and wrongdoing. We shall see how all this converges. Drop by anytime and ruminate.

FinalRac

The way out of this mess is well-known. Lets see if people are ready for it. We'll find out in the elections coming up next month. If the Dems take a drubbing you can kiss ObamaCare and Cap and Tax goodbye.

Skep

I hear you. I failed to mention that the 48% employed are considered to be underemployed.

I can't remember ever being unemployed for more than a week since I started work at age 15. That was a while back. (hint: JFK was president) LOL!

I'm really cheesed that I didn't get the Nobel! I exactly the same amount of accomplishments as the One, plus I never missed a trash day in that time period.

I'm beginning to think the game is rigged!

Sarge

Nobel Prize? I dont got no Nobel Prize. I DONT GOT TO SHOW YOU NO STEENKING NOBEL PRIZE!

But Seriously Folks

This was a bigger national humiliation than the Copenhagen Incident. It would be like giving the Nobel Prize for Literature to Oprah. It points out what a complete zero Barry is. It just looks so bad. Its like when Gwenneth Paltrow won an Oscar for Best Actress. Its ludicrous.

Skep

I have to agree. When I first saw the article on Drudge, I thought it was a gag.

Oh well, our long national humiliation continues.

I suppose the One should get credit for forcing many of us to live our lives one day at a time since you never know what new idiocy is coming tomorrow.

Remember Sarge

Barak Hussien Obama UMMM, UMMM, UMMMMM!

skep41

And still the blame Bush excuse goes on...



mmm mmm mmm

I Blame Bush

If W had answered back his critics, if he had stood up for conservative principals, if he had reduced the size of government, if he had spent any time tending to the state of the Republican Party then we wouldnt be where we are now. I dont blame him for the continuing disaster but I blame him for his part in it.

Skep

I can't disagree about W other than to say that he usually only embarrassed himself and not the country.

President MMM!^3 might want to considered that when your biggest fan is Fidel Castro, you might be a Marxist!

Skep

What a great story!

It knid of reminded me of "World Championship Being Eaten By A Crocodule," where today's winner is tomorrow's crocodile sh!t.

Sarge

They laugh at the term Marxist. They're going to do socialism better than everyone who's tried it before. You see, they're much smarter...

Arik

Its us who are in the shi'ite!
