Obama's Litmus Test for SCOTUS: "empathy"

""I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with people's hopes and struggles, as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes," Obama said.

In related news, the WH today realeased the name of Obama's leading choice to fill Justice Souter's seat.

Ya Can't Fix Stupid...

...but you can find out how high it went.

Do we really believe a mid-level WH flunky was the angel on the top of this decision tree? Let's say, as I for one am not willing to do, purely for the sake of argument, that the unabashed narcissist in the Oval Office wasn't aware of this 'photo op,' was never told of it by lackeys scurrying to curry favor. Do you think a low-level flunky like Caldera was the top of the decision loop? Possibly Barack Obama was not aware of activities involving his personal ride, his biggest piece of Presidential bling. But Rahm Emanuel? His chief of staff? He never got the memo?

This raises disturbing questions about the decision-making process inside the Obama White House. If something this dumb can be authorized without the knowledge or approval of the President or his highest subordinate, what else is going on in Barack Obama's own office that he has no notion about?

Fat People Blamed for Global Warming!

British scientists say they use up more fuel to transport them around and the amount of food they eat requires more energy to produce than that consumed by those on smaller diets.

According to a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine this adds to food shortages and higher energy prices.

Researchers Phil Edwards said: “We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility. Obesity is a key part of the big picture." (Daily Telegraph)

Well, as anybody who has seen my videos below knows, I am ALL about the big picture.

CARBOHYDRATE CREDITS!

That's right! Carbo-Credits!  It's so simple it ought to be illegal!

Here's how it works:

Persons of, er, substance pay less substantial people to stay skinny, to offset our exuberant circumferences!

This allows many of the diameter-challenged to earn valuable cash benefits, people like

Celebrities!

And People Who Already Live Under Progressive Governments!

Now they can afford to maintain their diameter-challenged lifechoices by underwriting the indulgences of the great and good (okay, mostly the great) among us!
