FOR WYATT

M-o-n-o-n-u-c-l-e-o-s-i-s: (N) The kissing disease….

Since I razzed Wyatt this week about the lack of eye candy appearing on his blog he countered by leveling the same charge at me. While everyone knows FIRST IN is a family blog and not some smut-filled trash site like SYLG, he had me backed into a corner. However, he also said that the Oberfrau was somehow pulling the strings behind the scene at FIRST IN. This could not stand. So in order to restore the balance to the blogiverse, here is Marina.

In case you live in a cave next to Bin Laden with no electricity and haven’t heard I’ll clue you in. Marina Orlova is this smoking hot Russian babe who has turned YouTube into the new Rosetta Stone. She takes English words and gives the definition and origin of the word in about three minute videos.  It’s called “HotForWords.”  That’s about it. But that’s enough to make her one of the most popular searches going. It must be the accent…no?

All you’re going to get here is a still pic. If you want to see her vids, you’ll have to check out YouTube yourself. I’m not risking the liability if someone should suffer a cardiac episode while checking out FIRST IN. For the record, the Oberfrau and I saw Marina on the O’Rielly factor and it was a howl. I think it’s great when hot girls become rich and famous just because they are hot and have a gimmick. Why not? Plus, the Oberfrau thinks the whole blog thing is a colossal waste of time, could care less, and wishes I would quit anyway.

Ahh, what does she know right Wyatt, old buddy?

MEET JOE HUSSEIN CAMEL

I guess by now we all heard the news: the messiah has a vice. No, I’m not talking about increasing people’s taxes. I’m talking about an evil, wicked, dirty vice. A vice so evil and dirty it’s referred to as vice-x. The vice in question, of course, is smoking. Apparently the chosen one is not really perfect after all. That comes as a shock to his legions of devotees and a relief to the opposition. After all competing against divinity as we have seen can be tough.

Now you may think I am going to beat him up over this. No way in hell. As a conservative I really could care less if Puff Daddy smokes his brains out. As long as what the guy smokes is legal, (Cigarettes still are amazingly) then it’s his right to go stand outside the back door of the White House kitchen a bum lights off the cook. I’m cool with it, been there done that. I actually think it is one of the more independent, manly choices he has made in  his life. Think about it he probably didn’t consult anyone before starting. Good for you Barack. Your the man. Don’t let those girly, shemales that surround you make you quit either.

I guess the Secret Service will have to build him a bullet-proof smoking shelter somewhere on the White House grounds. Can you imagine?

I’m a reformed smoker of eight years. Like many who pick up the habit in their youth I was indestructible when I started. But somewhere around the time I got out of the service I decided I didn’t need them anymore and gave it up. It was probably one of the hardest thing I ever had to do but it was one of the most beneficial to my health. Of course I relapsed plenty of times before I broke the habit for good. Nothing worse than hanging out with your buddies at the bar for triggering a relapse. It happens. So I wish the President-Elect much luck in his quest to quit (If in fact he is trying). Seriously, Barack if you need someone to talk you through a rough patch I’ll take your call.

Now who really deserves the pummeling on this are the anti-smoking NAZI’S on the left and their years of behavior modification tactics. We all know the people I mean: local community boards and government agencies. All the people and politicians who ganged up on “BIG TOBACCO” and sued for zillions of dollars all the while continuing to reap zillions in tax revenue from the tobacco industry. All the second hand smoke hucksters and corporate lawyers who did everything they could to drive smoking from our midst. They did everything they could to make smoking just barely legal. Barely legal so as not to kill the cash cow.

Now their icon, their messiah has the habit. And what have we heard from all those frauds? Nary a peep! That’s right. Already Obama is to be forgiven this single flaw just like Bill Clinton was to be forgiven HIS flaw. Ironically only Democrats are to be forgiven their sins. Conservatives are to be excommunicated. These are the same people who went to war against a CARTOON! Yet Barry and his Cool Menthol’s get a pass. I really want someone to ask him what brand he smokes. Republican Marlborough Reds or Democrat Cool Menthols?

And what about the children of America? You know all the cute little zombies who sang his praises during the campaign? Do they know about this? Merry Christmas kids Barack SMOKES! What about Barack’s OWN children? Does he smoke in front of or around them? Are THEY exposed to his second hand smoke? Are they in any danger? Should Child Protective Services get involved and check out the White House? These are all legitimate issues that have been used before to attack other smokers, and the left orchestrated these attacks. Now they are silent.Typical hypocrites.

I just want to know one thing in case I happen to run into the President to be: can I bum a light?

INTERESTING READ

Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay Cuba. Better than most any prison in any other country in the world.

EXERPT:

The slaughter of the Hertzbergs and other Jews at Chabad House should be a wake-up call to Western liberals who believe that jihadism can be defeated through reason and happy talk. Only other Muslims can launch the stringent internal reform necessary to stomp this barbaric extremism out. But the events in Mumbai confirmed my opinion about the looming problem of a nuclear Iran: While I oppose all American military operations and bases in the Mideast, I continue to believe that Israel, whose security is directly threatened, has every right to take preemptive military action against Iran. LINK

It’s pretty safe to say I’d never find myself having drinks with the likes of Camille Paglia. However, I did find this article she recently penned for Salon.com very interesting. I have to admit I don’t read her often because, like most liberals, their take on the world at large is 1 part naivete’, 1 part stupid, 1 part rose colored glasses, 1 part “if only” and 1 part Kumbaya. It’s just too juvenile to be taken seriously by those of us who live in the real world. But from time to time she gets linked on Drudge and I’ll check her out. (Unlike most liberals who would NEVER read something by Rush Limbaugh).

I just thought it fascinating that she thinks it’s not acceptable for the U.S. to have bases in the Middle East. I guess she thinks that A) we have no friends there who may need our help, or B) we have no legitimate national interest there, or C) It’s not a good idea for the U.S. to show strength or keep tabs on a volatile region where we can provide stability.

Conversely, she thinks it is OK for ISRAEL to take preemptive action when they are threatened. I thought a cornerstone of the left these past seven years is that preemptive military action was verboten. Apparently that policy only applies to America. We must in all circumstances give rogue nations and terrorists the first shot whenever they decide to maim and kill our people.

Ironically, Iran HAS attacked our soldiers on the ground in Iraq and has provided the advanced munitions for IED’s that can take out our most heavily armored Abrams tanks. Grrrrrr.

Maybe Obama will listen to her one cogent point about not being able to reason with the Jihadis. With the trials in Guantanamo Bay back in the news, the Messiah is going to have to decide pretty quickly where oh where to put Kahlid Sheikh Muhammad and the rest of the garbage currently being held. He has already painted himself into a corner pledging to close Gitmo when it is functioning perfectly fine. Granted, it wasn’t perfect when it was brought online but there is no good reason to close it now. He has few options and a smarter guy would have left himself a way out. Ooops. My bad.

I know: maybe he can rebuild Alcatraz! It can be the showpiece for his new roads/bridges/prison bailout economic initiative. Hell, we can always use more prison space right?

So anyway, I’m not sure where Camille paints the threshold between pre and emptive. But I’m pretty sure wherever that line is, she’s never been anywhere near it. Just like Gitmo.
