The Chosen One Will Save Us!!!

OK, we are now just hours away from Inaguration Day for The Chosen One Who Will Save Us.

But, save us from what, exactly?

I mean, it looks like his government spending policies and national security policies won't be too radically different from George W. Bush, right?  So what will the Savior actually do?

Well, here is my personal top ten list of things that He Will Deliver Us should deliver on:

10) Remake all the Star Wars prequels so they don't suck.

9) Get Mother Nature on board with this whole "global warming" thing so we can stop freezing our asses off and shoveling snow.

8) Asteroids!

7) Stop NBC from pan-and-scanning The Office for everyone who doesn't have widescreen.

6) The Children (tm).

5) Killer space robots!

4) Make all the VCRs in the world stop blinking "12:00."

3) Finally stop that pesky Voldemort once and for all!

2) The BCS.

And finally, the number thing the Annointed One should get to work on right away:

1) No more lame reality TV shows!

I left an AOL general blog site and was stunned by the volume of angry, ill-informed, and often blatantly racists comments. I decided to look at more conservative sites and see if these sites also were beseiged by angry, equally ill-informed assaults from extreme leftists. It seems that neither the 'left' or 'right', nor so-called 'compassionate middle' can escape assaults from members of the lunatic fringe. I must say, I am disappointed that gracious good will for a New Administration is not more evident--if only for a day.
The last time I looked, President Elect Barack Obama was the elected one --elected, not annointed; elected by a significant margin. Your chosen one humor escapes me.

Because you have no sense of humor, perhaps?
Seriously, take a step back and see how insane this Obama worship is.
I for one am disgusted by the condescending "we forgive you righties" attitudes being extruded by the elite liberal media and hollywierd. I don't forgive you for the last eight years of bullshit accusations and Bush = Hitler nonsense. Take your lack of humor and your fake patriotism and piss off. I think this top ten is extremely amusing...

And speaks to the reality of the lives of the majority of Americans.

The power of apodictic argument is in its unassailable logic. Having suffered through decades of Leftist vision and revision, most of us are left understanding the faults inherent in the opus of George Lucas and the failure of the BCS.

But, we've been told that using that same, laser-like insight into problems of governance is wrong. Rather, we need to be compash. We need to share. We need a strong government in charge so that things will be better.

The only fault of this argument--or line of thinking--is that it does nothing to get a can of asparagus to market more cheaply. Or, a single erg to the end user, more affordably or simply.

Policy should make the playing field more efficient, not less. But the new policy is to increase the frictions in the marketplace. That requires barriers be placed in markets, rather than letting markets do what markets do best. Policy makers prefer their own outcomes to market outcomes. Is this really good for markets? Shouldn't we have policy that is good for markets?

And besides, shouldn't USC played in the Chammpionship game?

Personally, I'm saddened and offended that his list doesn't include any mention of the inequality between hot dog and hot dog bun packaging. Is this the Hope and Change(tm) we were promised?

I think not.

I'd like to add there should be a resolution to the attack of the alien space bats.

(those who've read S.M. Stirling's "Change" series will get that ... although the series has absolutely *nothing* to do with "hope and change")
