You say Sestak, I say Sleestak

Sometimes middle-aged befuddlement is a blessing in disguise.

For example, whenever I hear discussion of Obama's attempt to bribe Joe Sestak into not running against Arlen Specter in the primary, I am transported back to childhood days and the mid-70s TV series Land of the Lost. Sestak looks and sounds an awful lot like Sleestak, especially when pronounced by someone else who remembers the TV series and has never quite banished the lizardy green Sleestaks (three of which are pictured above) from their nightmares.

So what might have ended up another indignant rant against the megalomaniac manchild currently in residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue becomes, instead, a brief period of happy recollection. Hands over ears, la la la, how long until January 2013?

Obama's Memorial Day

Today, Memorial Day 2010, Vice President Biden laid the wreath at Arlington National Cemetery.

Honoring America's war dead conflicted with the wartime President's vacation plans, so Obama visited a cemetery that was more convenient to the site where he has chosen to get some R&R. The picture above is from Obama's very Presidential appearance.

Don't worry, the President will be returning from vacation in time to greet Paul McCartney at the White House on Wednesday.

Is there any doubt where this man's priorities lie? As former KSFO morning host Lee Rodgers used to ask, if Obama isn't anti-American, what would he be doing differently if he was?
