Audacity of Truth
Kruggie to Fibbs:
"Rudeness at the proper moment can serve a purpose — as I hope I’ve demonstrated over the years. But if you vent for the sake of venting; if you alienate people you’re going to need; then you’re just being stupid."

New issue of Rolling Stone deifies Obama
This has become standard operating procedure for this left wing rag:
Artist Shepard Fairey, whose iconic HOPE campaign poster of Barack Obama was a global sensation, is back with a new image that both questions and deifies the President.
Appearing on the cover of the Aug. 20 Rolling Stone, the portrait depicts Obama with a brow knit in determination, surrounded by a halo of stars.
“Will he take bold action or compromise too easily?” asks a headline enshrining the President’s head.
Fairey said it wasn’t meant to be a halo. Rather, the picture he worked from showed Obama standing in front of the presidential seal, he said.
“It’s one thing to be running for president and it’s another to be President and I think this new illustration that I did hopefully captures the complexity and the weight of his new role,” Fairey said.
“Not only will we see how he performs, but also whether we as Americans will now help him and continue to push for the changes we asked for.”
The Rolling Stone cover story, appearing on newsstands Friday, examines the issues testing Obama in his first year in office. For more details, go to www.rollingstone.com.
A guerrilla street artist who has several graffiti arrests, Fairey said his portrait was also inspired by a classically stuffy artwork: Gilbert Stuart’s unfinished painting of George Washington, the basis for the engraving on the dollar bill.
Check the cover closely – not only does it make Obama appear “above this earth,” but the “roundtable” panel Rolling Stone chose to quote for this article consists of …. David Gergen, Michael Moore, and Paul Krugman.
Which, needless to say, is about as diverse a panel as The View, with the exception of Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Is he The One?
*shakes head*

It’s a great topic – media bias – but is it just me or is it getting tedious hearing about it endlessly? I’m guessing there’s little to do about it except to point it out, but I don’t feel the outrage lately…I am more and more simply accepting it.
Shepard Fairey? If he’d been born 70 years earlier, he could have made a good living by painting official portraits of Stalin.
As for the motto encircling Lord Zero’s head, I’ve got a better one:
“The Bigger They Come, The Harder They Fall”
I have but one thing to say:
General and then President George Washington had a record of accomplishments long before he sat for portraits. Obama wrote two books about himself, and he, federal funds and his buddy Rezko couldn’t build a single housing project in Chicago that he would let his family dog live in.
I still want the edited Obama poster for my office, with the Fairey Obama on top, and the Fairey word “OBEY” on the bottom. ;o/
I think he looks like he’s wearing a silly hat.
You know what Obama and God have in common?? Neither have a birth certificate!!
Here is more evidence that Obama is heaven sent, even tho Michelle says he smells like that other place.

Just. Make. It. Stop.
Remember last year when we were lamenting about all the media-overexposure and ridiculous MSM hype of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan? Good times…
And, of course, according to Max Baucus “He sounds like a symphony”

I do like the “phony” part!
Tilt the head back and do a little photoshopping and you’d almost have the classic pic of Jesus in the garden.
How do you know the middle class is about to get a huge tax increase? Gibbs swore it wouldn’t happen.
How do you know Big Zero is in trouble? He’s still prez, isn’t he?
What will Biden do for an encore gaffe today? Don’t know, but wait till he opens his mouth, it’ll flow out as naturally as water flowing downhill.
How did we know Obama was about to shred the Constitution? When sworn in he promised to uphold it.
‘Nuff said.
Well, if I ever saw a PIG with lipstick on,it is Michael Moore. If he had any brain cells,he might even be dangerous. The only thing is that many of my age folks,and esp. some of the younger generation, (I was a hippie for 20 yrs.–but GOD SET ME FREE–& been NOT ONE for 21 YRS!) who are ignorant & gullable and some–just–stuck on stupid, are actually believing this wierdo! The way I SEE IT–the “wealth of the wicked is going to come to us SOON,” (the Remnant of Christ Jesus–the REAL ONE!) and Michael Moore is just getting more of “our share of the bucks”, ready to soon hand over to us—by these LIEING,FAKE, STUPID MOVIES! It saddens me that so many are believing this goobledly-goop crap as “facts.” RISE UP and OPEN UP YOUR EYES–ex-hippies and EVERYONE ELSE! You been dooped! MM is just another one of the “devils cheelrleaders” mouths , as I call them, just like NBC,ABC,CNN,CBS,PBS,etc. ARE! The lipstick on this pig is NOT CUTE IN ANY WAY or ATTRACTIVE!
They removed all the Bibles from hotels in San Francisco and replaced them with Al Gores book. Will MM’s movies be next?
Good bye Rolling Stone. Thank you for the stories I read about musicians I admire or admired. You just had to take it to a new low with this cover. Gone are the days of free thinking. But while I still have some free thought left I choose to think you now suck and will never purchase another of your magazines…..See how well you do with your liberal socialistic view when the only ones interested in what you write are the lazy stupid and unemployed that you are now catering to.
It’s like having a round table with Cookie, Krusty, and Clarabell discussing Bozo D Clown’s accomplishments.
Or a discussion on “The View”…
Q: What’s the difference between God and Obama?
A: God doesn’t think he’s Obama.
I gave up on Rolling Stone many years ago. They’re MTV for people who can read, and who have an attention span greater than two minutes.
But not much greater. P.J. O’Rourke was my last reason to read that hack Stalinist rag, and he finally left to work for a real magazine (albeit one still lefty). I wouldn’t use it to line a parrot cage – it’d be cruely to animals.
Good analogy–MTV for those who can read. But, uhm . . . hasn’t Rolling Stone et al always been in the tank for the liberals? I’ve never bothered to put my fingerprints on a copy for that very reason. What is it with the dimbo’s in Hollywood(who make millions impersonating real people) and the music industry that they are up the butts of any flaming spread-the-wealth lib?
A Rolling Stone cover? That’s hack work. Fairey has been staying in South Dakota the last few weeks–he’s measuring all the rest of Mount Rushmore!
Jann Wenner cannot fall asleep at night without imaging his lips wrapped around Obama’s… um… cigarette!
