The Left Hand

Posted by Christopher Mc on Thursday, July 8, 2010, In : Affairs 
Gosh, I haven't blogged on The Left Hand of Darkness for ages.  It really was like shooting fish in a barrel for so long, the compassion in me wouldn't allow it.

But then we hear that Obama didn't, you know, realise there might be some hurricanes coming, and this might be interfere a little with the Gulf clean up.

And try this little test now.  You know NASA?  The National Aeronautic and Space Administration?  Okay, so you're the head of Nasa and the President calls you up.  He wants to tell yo...

Left handed liar

Posted by Christopher Mc on Friday, September 18, 2009, In : Affairs 
You remember all the discussions when The Left Hand of Darkness - that's Obama for new readers - was elected as to which church he would attend, being such a good Christian.  We've books like The Faith of Barack Obama with that fake holy look he practises on the cover.

Well it turns out the church he's attended most in the past nine months is the Catholic Church - aside from Kennedy's funeral (RIP), Notre Dame and Georgetown he's been to a Sunday service once - a special outing for Easter.

Truth stranger than fiction on Obama Beach

Posted by Christopher Mc on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, In : Affairs 
You'll recall a litle posting I did the  other day on how the Left Hand of Darkness at Normandy thought he was there because the beach was being named after him.

Well it turns out that Gordon Brown had the same idea and referred to the "Obama Beach".  Gordon's really more of a Dunkirk kind of guy isn't he, than a D-Day leader.  Small boats and good cheer covering up catastrophic policy decisions.

D-day commemoration - when the Queen's not there things get out of hand

Posted by Christopher Mc on Sunday, June 7, 2009, In : Humour 


"Mesdames et Messieurs les Députés, le président des États-Unis d'Amérique".

The President stands ponderously behind the podium, the massed soldiery, some missing limbs, others minds, all of them missing their lost comrades from that day, stand at attention as best they can.

"I am thrilled, indeed pleased and honoured, that so many people of different shades of colour, and none, have gathered here today to share with me the great privilege of having this beach named after me.  As one among...

Reaching out (and choking someone)

Posted by Christopher Mc on Tuesday, May 19, 2009, In : Affairs 
“Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion" said President Obama at Notre Dame.  Oh, well that's good, maybe this guy isn't so bad after all if he believes at least in respecting the consciences of pro-life health care workers.  What else does he say?

"and draft a sensible conscience clause" - but surely there is already the 2008 regulation which implements and enforces three federal laws protecting the conscience rights of health care providers, especially those at risk...

The cowardly fighting Irish

Posted by Christopher Mc on Monday, May 18, 2009, In : Affairs 


Obama silent on the rape and murder of two black children in Soweto.

Obama silent on the relegation of West Bromwich Albion.

Obama silent on the suspension of a teacher accused of abuse in Tallahassee public school.

Presumably we can conclude from this silence that Obama supports rape, murder, Liverpool FC and abuse in Tallahassee.  No, you say, that would be entirely illogical.

Try googling "Pope silent Obama invitation" and you will get some four thousand news articles, for example this one.  T...

Close, but no cigar

Posted by Christopher Mc on Wednesday, April 29, 2009, In : Affairs 

If you follow the fawning liberal American press, or all the European press, you will see they are all aglow at the 56% approval rating given in polls for The Left Hand of Darkness (TLHOD) during his first one hundred days trying to destroy America, facilitate more abortions around the world, pander to the Iranians and Cubans - oh and drive the world into a ten year depression.

What you will hear almost no where, and certainly not in Europe, is that this makes him the second least popular pres...

The Left Hand of Darkness

Posted by Christopher Mc on Sunday, April 26, 2009, In : Affairs 
As each day passes it becomes harder and harder to to like President Obama - as he bows to the King of Saudi Arabia he releases critical intelligence information that betrays the CIA, before running off to them to tell them not to feel ashamed or embarrassed by what they have done.  If they're ashamed, I bet it's having him as their Commander in Chief.

"President Obama's decision to release these documents is one of the most dangerous and irresponsible acts ever by an American president during...

Jimmy Carter II

Posted by Christopher Mc on Monday, April 6, 2009, In : Affairs 

Okay so I think Obama is evil, left-handed, possibly the anti-Christ, determined to destroy America and the world and now foolishly talking nuclear disarmament.

But I did enjoy the story of the handshake with the policeman.  In case you missed it, when going in to 10 Downing Street he stopped to say hello to the policeman on duty and shook his hand.  The policeman held out his hand for Gordon Brown, expecting he would be forced to do likewise.  He didn't.

Of course the New York Times (AA  Gill)...
