It always amazes me how people in Washington just throw words out and expect reality to somehow wrap itself around them and make it true.
President Obama declared with bravado last night: “Let me make something clear: The United States military doesn’t do pinpricks.”
What? Are you kidding me? Obama’s central military doctrine is pinpricks. He’s the Prince of Pinpricks.
What, exactly, are all these drone strikes we’ve been heaving at individual bad guys? Those drones even look like pins. And of course the targets are pricks.
Sorry.
And what about special forces operations? The president has removed us entirely from Iraq and is getting our troops out of Afghanistan as fast as possible. Once they’ve been drawn down, our strategy for combatting terrorism in the Afghanistan-Pakistan theater will be a combination of keeping our fingers crossed and special forces operations.
So yeah, okay? We’re big into the pinprick business.
Look, I don’t mind of the president throws around a little juvenile machismo. Just lets be accurate about it.
Is a pinprick something you get when you deal with a pinhead? In a related issue:
If The Sun Doesn’t Blast It, Comet ISON Will Soon Light Up The Sky
Comet ISON has been renamed COBAMAT because of its similarity to Pres. Obama. The latter was preceded by reports of great light, but now is described as having the luminesce of a depleted AAA battery. The former, a ball of gas(another similarity), may suffer like fate if it approaches a real light source too closely.
Ohhh, I saw that story. Hope the comet survives passing the sun! Should be a good show in November/December if it does.
Hee hee, good ones! I was just reading Rush’s website and he called John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and John Kerry the Jurassic Park Senators and Secretary of State. I like that one too.
Obama, pin pricks, and juvenile machismo. The things one could say with each of those words.
If you leave out the and and depending on how you do it, it could be haiku.
Ah! The sound of one hand clapping,
As the wing of a butterfly
against the budget deficit;
The gentle breaking of wind in
a storm!
There are about three haiku there.
I cannot use Obama and machismo in the same sentence, juvenile or not. I always see him crossing his legs in unison with the ladies on that morning show.
You mean like:
The juvenile machismo Obama has a prick the size of a pin?
(And a brain even smaller)
Prince of Pinpricks! You got it almost right. LOL.
!
This is FUNNY, pinprick made me think of it. From Cain’s website….smack talk on FB among the players in the Obama/Kerry Syria “coalition” :D

Denise, thanks for the link. Very clever, very snarky. Loved it!
: – ))
Juvenile machismo? This whole thing has been one big “pull out the ruler and see who’s bigger” thing! Men! (I include Hillary–what the heck was she doing speaking on it?)
Are we certain Mr. Obama wasn’t referring to free family planning for “concealed weapons”?
Good thing I had a nap today, Playrighter, or that would have gone right by me. Brilliant! Politicoitol interruptus?
Politicoitol interruptus is pretty good too.
Thank you kindly.
Your (magnum) P.I. is likewise appreciated.
This administration is filled with the biggest passle of pricks I’ve seen in my entire life.
Ooh!!! now THERE’S a mental image for you!!!
I was referring to the “passle of pricks”. Let’s see, geese are in a gaggle, whales are in a gam, crows are in a murder. Now at least I know what to call a gathering of pricks. No, not a passle! Just “liberals”.
“Now at least I know what to call a gathering of pricks.”
A meeting of the local bar association.
Hey, I resent that. I LIKE to go to a gathering at the local bar!!! That being said, have you heard the old saying, “In a town with one lawyer, the lawyer starves but in a town with TWO lawyers, they BOTH thrive. Trite, I know, but I believe this has a lot to do with where our country finds itself today!!! Oh, and if anyone wonders what this has to do with pricks and pinheads, I DID use the word LAWYER twice!!!!!
“That being said, have you heard the old saying, “In a town with one lawyer, the lawyer starves but in a town with TWO lawyers, they BOTH thrive.”
LOL!
I’m fine with attorneys and litigation. It’s better to fight injustice in an arena with rules and regulations than to resort to brute force. Or, to have no arena at all.
And, it’s better to have a litigious system in which multitudes of rights are vying against each other than a system in which there are few rights.
From Shakespeare’s “Henry VI”:
“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
In such a system, we’d all fare poorly.
Remember what the Khmer Rouge did when it took control?
The disdain for intellectuals can be carried too far.
Please enlighten me. What does the disdain for intellectuals have to do with lawyers???
Surely, you jest.
You’re right of course. I’d just like to think our system would serve us all better if “Obfuscation” was not considered an art form. I will freely admit if I ever need a lawyer I will go directly to the gates of Hell and engage the services of the Prince Of Darkness himself.
Slightly on topic:
How many speech writers does Obama have? Online sources say 7, Medved says reports claim 60. Any details?
Here’s a great article on Obama lifting parts of his speech from BUSH:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/marc-thiessen-obama-lifted-his-syria-speech-from-bush/2013/09/11/a6662d02-1add-11e3-82ef-a059e54c49d0_story.html
How many angels can dance on a pinhead?
I’d prefer to attempt to pass a camel through the eye of a pinhead!!!!!
:)
Now that is something we can agree on, Keith.
America “doesn’t do pinpricks.”
He can’t speak in standard English when talking about people dying from military action.
He sounds like Beyonce announcing that she “doesn’t do carbs,” or some other stupid unimportant assertion by the barely literate.
I despise “doing” anything…most especially “Let’s do lunch.”
We have sunk to the depths of …Practically everything, including language usage, literacy, morals, etc., etc., etc. But we all know without a doubt that our eating habits are poor.
Sorry – I feel the overwhelming need to be sarcastic much more frquently.
We can laugh, or poke fun at MrObama’s juvenile machismo, but he is the most dangerous of effeminate or childish men. He let the whole world see how thin-skinned and dangerously childish he is when challenged or denied. Pushed and questioned by outside forces to back up his implied threat to do something if his red-line was crossed, he did what immature people do; he did the worst possible thing.
As he set our military out to prepare to bombard a sovereign country because he believed it’s leader did something that offended him, he was only brought back to sanity by his inner staff’s desperate appeal to his vanity or self-interest to not go it alone. His image or self-importance that he values so highly, almost brought us to the brink of WW3 as he abused his position of CiC.
Political pundits, supporters and opponents are still stunned at his seemingly amateurish geo-politics, but deeper thinkers in our government hallways should be wondering if he’s the man to have the power to push that red-button that starts the end of it all.
Where’s the make-up report we were promised?
A most sobering post.
Frightening but true, srdem.
Well said, srdem! If only the ‘deep thinkers’ in govt. could face the fact that this man is seriously mentally ill !!! Malignant narcissism and megalomania are mental diseases. He is, and always was, unfit to serve.
Spot on srdem
I agree with all of you. I like to make jokes but I truly believe these idiots should not be trusted to use “The Clapper” let alone have access to the Red Button!! I knew this was getting serious when I caught myself thinking “Well, at least they have Biden to advise them.)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SRDEM.. I would not say inner staff, but one or 2 smart advisors who could see through the others wanting him to push the button. Am glad there was a cooler head in the WH. Either that or the 45 min walk around the outside of the WH included a ass kicking around the back porch!
Truth.
Excellent post. As always, I am in awe of your wisdom.
Re Special Forces:
There are two things you can be sure of:
1. the o will take all credit
2. the names and whereabouts of Special Forces will be leaked by the WH or some other entity, and within a short time, they will be dead.
umm, I don’t recognize that avatar?
That’s Reggie Love!!
Back when the Commander-in-Chief knew what he was talking about, we used to call them “surgical strikes”.
That was before the 1st Black Woman was elected pres-dent.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Are you asserting that FCMABBHO’s actions are representative of how a woman would act as president?
If so, KISS MY ASS.
How dare you judge all women by some certain measure! How dare you judge us all the same as this Fucking Commie Muslim-Appeasing Bastard Barak Hussein Obama!
Man. My knickers are in a twist.
Calm yourself and PLEASE untwist your knickers. This was NOT meant as a generalization to demean the capabilities of women. I would sooner argue logic with my spouse. Who does happen to be a woman. This was a specific attack on an individual whose attempts to act in a stereotypically male fashion are countered by what seems to be an ambivalence to maleness. Personally, I think a little estrogen could make the world a safer place. We’ll just need to get Vlad onboard!
*sigh*
“Personally, I think a little estrogen could make the world a safer place.”
Wow.
Never get between a mother and her child.
This shit goes beyond gender-politics.
We are in the throes of the hissy-fit of a malignant narcissist.
Estrogen – Think with the BIG brain. Testosterone – Think? with the little brain!!
Narcissism:
*sigh*
Barack Hussein Obama = eunuch…
I thought he was referencing ValJar.
Plenty of rationale behind that concept.
Oh no he ‘dinn’t’ say that just after Kerry promised the strike on Syria would be ‘unbelievably small’, did he? Can these two get their stories straight?
“Oh what a tangled web we weave …..”
No, they CAN’T get their stories srtaight. That’s ’cause Obama says things off the top of his head (NO NSA, I DID NOT say “OFF WITH HIS HEAD” while Kerry says things he pulls out of his (rhymes with PASS).
Keith said “He’s the Prince of Pinpricks”. I’m thinking he’s the Prick of pinprinces.
Prince of Pinpricks? Oh joy. A new toy to play with. :) :) :)
“Look, I don’t mind of the president throws around a little juvenile machismo. Just lets be accurate about it.”
Ha Ha….Keith, you know better. When the president is speaking you can’t expect accuracy to be part of the equation.
