JAB takes the time to send us another letter.

Your Czarness:

Poured myself an adult beverage yesterday evening and, like your Czarness, watched Obama deliver a mighty stern talkin’ to…to…to nobody in particular.
He sounded to me like some Regional VP for Sales in some Holiday Inn conference room explaining that if the bad numbers don’t turn around, and quick, well then we’ll be forced to make some difficult decisions. Difficult decisions. So get out there and sell more widgets.

The President seems mightily annoyed that he’s having to spend valuable time dealing with this situation, when there are other things he’d rather be doing. Like running GM or ramming through a health-care bill. Those issues are the ones that warm a community organizer’s heart and put a spring in his step. And I suspect that he really thought that we’d have no more of these unreasonable displays of unreasonableness. Surely by now the dudes in the Waziristan have had time to read the transcripts of the Cairo speech, haven’t they?

But DNI Dennis Blair says that everyone in the “intelligence community” received the President’s message that this “failure to connect the dots” was “unacceptable.”

288 people come really, really close to having their pieces-parts scattered over Detroit…and the word is “unacceptable.” Ouch. What a big meanie our President is.

I think that what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Obama wants Jihadi-whack-jobs to know his middle name is Hussein so they should chill, and maybe he’ll slide them some stimulus $$$.

Jihadi-whack-jobs want Obama to know that all they want to do is kill infidels. Lots of infidels.

Obama doesn’t understand message despite it being sent on Christmas Day.

Failure to communicate.

Your Czarness, I do want to compliment your “Knickerbomber” and “Kabloomers!” But I think my favorite moniker that I’ve seen remains “Eunuchbomber” (I mean…didn’t the dude stop to consider tht if his nasty plan had succeeded, he would have proven to be a terrible disappointment to his allotted 72 virgins???).

And while I’m ranting, I’ve decided to institute a new drinking game here at the Doublewide. Every time Obama gives a speech, you have to select a phrase. And every time he says “Now, make no mistake” or “Let me be clear,” you chug your adult beverage of choice. If he wags his finger while uttering your phrase, then you gotta chug twice! Fun for the whole family!

Some thoughts.

Surely by now the dudes in the Waziristan have had time to read the transcripts of the Cairo speech, haven’t they?1. “Knickerbomber” goes to Jonah Goldberg, who may not have originated it, but was the first occurrence the Czar saw. And likewise “Kabloomers” was something we spotted on IMAO.

2. The 72 virgins consideration is a wickedly awesome question.

3. As far as drinking games go, the Czar’s whole family is usually involved, particularly Цесаревич and Царевич during hockey night. Best regards to the Doublewide.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
