Slow posting on the Tunnel Wall is NOT my fault

Still trying to make good Wi-Fi connections here in Santa Maria, California. I'm doing the best I can, but the Japanese tsunami has caused great delays. Then came the Bush-caused breakdown of the society in which I am forced by birth to function and which has caused a massive domino-effect of unfortunate circumstances.

We should be back in Santa Paula Sunday evening and, hopefully, connected to a good, er...connection to make up for lost time.

 Please keep checking in because the TW never sleeps, it only languishes.

Cain steps into Letterman's lion's den and gets devoured

American Thinker  "In his promos for the Cain interview, Letterman said, "The road to the White House goes through me!" Maybe so, but only in the sense that Letterman has enormous power to block that road for any candidate he opposes, and that power only increases when the candidate, in a colossal lapse of good judgment, steps blithely into Letterman's parlor."

Obama’s Denigrate America tour; President views us through the eyes of our enemies

The Washington Times  "No other American president - not even Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - has vilified and denigrated his country while in office like Mr. Obama. It is not just that he routinely demonizes segments of his own countrymen - denouncing “fat-cat” bankers, millionaires, billionaires and corporate-jet owners. He has publicly attacked the Supreme Court for its decision on campaign-finance legislation. He has urged Hispanic supporters to “punish our enemies.” He has called Fox News and other media critics “illegitimate.” Since the 2010 midterm elections, he even has questioned the efficacy of our constitutional system, complaining about our “broken politics.” He derides “this big, messy, tough democracy,” openly admitting his temptation to bypass Congress and go it “alone.” This is more than hyperpartisanship. It expresses a deep-seated revulsion for American traditions and American democracy."  Via Lucianne

The Imaginarium of Barack Obama

Victor Davis Hanson  "The presidency of Barack Obama is full of funny things that need not follow any sort of logic. Images and ideas just pop in and out, without worry of inconsistency, contradiction, or hypocrisy. It’s a fascinating mish-mash of strange heroes and bogeymen, this imaginarium of our president."
....
"Those who now vote against raising the large Obama debt ceiling are political hucksters and opportunists; those who not long ago voted against raising the smaller Bush debt ceiling were principled statesmen."....
"Catching known terrorists and putting them in Guantanamo is very bad; killing suspected ones by drone assassinations — and anyone unlucky enough to be in their general vicinity — is exceptionally good."....
"A million Iranians protesting a soon-to-be-nuclear theocracy is false revolutionary consciousness and to be left alone; a few thousand Israelis wanting to buy apartments in the Jerusalem suburbs is subversive and worthy of presidential condemnation."....
"In the imaginarium, all sorts of demons and devils can unite to derail the brilliance of Barack Obama’s economic recovery plan."....  (emphasis added)

"In the imaginarium of Barack Obama there is no contradiction between smearing and shaking down Wall Street, a bunch that needs both to be told when and when not to profit, and to whom and to whom not to give tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions."
And much, much more...

Frank J. Fleming:  Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything

Obama is operating on a whole other level here where we can’t even follow his logic, and that can be scary at times. It’s like if some sort of primitive person — a West Virginian, perhaps — saw a surgeon doing an operation. He’d think the surgeon was harming the sleeping man by cutting in to him, when in fact the surgeon was helping that man. And that’s who Obama is — a smiling man with a knife that we’re a little bit scared of. But don’t worry; he knows what he’s doing.
