At last, Putin Comes out with an Honest Assessment of the US and its incompetent Joke of a POTUS.

Putin allegedly said off the record : "negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, shits on the board and then struts around, like it won the game.

Here is a comprehensive list of Obama's administrations blunders.

Caution. This is a long long list.

New York Times Cites Oct 8th International Tests Subject in blog below

Americans are being outperformed by all western European countries plus Japan---except Spain & Italy. Check out the alarmist editorial by the august graybeards of its board of wise people.

The Pussification of Today's Male Proceeds Apace

Dennis Mangan writes with his usual insight and brilliance on dimorphism of the genders over the centuries, going all the way back to the Lascaux Cave handprints!

"[Sebelius's] head must roll!"

JournoLista Ezra Klein's expostulation about the cabinet leader from HELL, Katherine Sebelius, although he didn't specify her for fear of incurring the wrath of his imbecile readers, is entirely TRUE.

Read James Taranto's take on the horrid biyotch who will supervise the designated Death Panel executioners as soon as they are appointed.

Who the Tea Party Faithful Really Are

William Galston has an interesting article in the WSJ about the Tea Party as falling into the Jacksonian tradition of American democracy.

American Adults Score low in International Tests

American adults resemble their children in chronic lack of how-to old-fashioned Yankee know-how.

When I was Vice Consul in Lyon, my boss Peter Tarnoff read of a study that showed that American workers were overall more literate than French labor at the same level. Members of the U.S. work-force had double the amount of words at their disposal on average than their French counterparts.

This is still true, according to the latest study, with France, Spain, Poland, Ireland and Italy lagging behind. However, the build-up of a giant educational bureaucracy in the US which spends profligately on layer-after-layer of unnecessary bureaucrats is impeding the actual teaching of the three R's. Instead, a barmy version of sociology is imparted that hate-crimes bullying and all sorts of recreational and social customs that are deemed 'hateful' by elitist extremist busybodies.

Don't expect to read anything about this among the elitist eunuch media courtiers surrounding Obeyme and his media-fed firewall of spinners and prevaricators.

Stalin: In the Court of the Red Tsar

Simon Sebag Montefiori [Bloomberg] has written the best book on the Red Czar --- a creature who was a terrorist against his own people --- who considered Ivan The Terrible his model for governance!!!

The only issue that disturbed this criminal more than conspiring colleagues was their wives, who were murdered in their hundreds to remind their husbands to obey the Party Line!

For a small taste of this brutal savage's insanity, take the book out of your nearest library or read Richard Pipes' book review in the NYT a few years back.

Remember that Putin stores Stalin's entire hoard of books in his Kremlin Office and is fond of showing visitors Stalin's annotated texts, all while wearing Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring!

The tradition of brutal homicidal maniacs ruling The Motherland continues even unto today!
