Congratuations!

Sincere and hearty congratulations to Victor David Hanson for the most unutterably fucking stupid anti-Obama blog post maybe ever, or at least in the last few minutes, or until the next time Jonah Goldberg feels especially flatulent. (Checking watch -- some trains never come late!)

Anyhow, Mr V. D. Hanson doesn't like how Obama uses pronouns, as they indicate Socialism. Yes, it's that special.

Anyhow, you fish, down there in the barrel? Say hello to my leetle fren.

My fellow Americans: I've spoken to you from this historic office on many occasions and about many things. The power of the Presidency is often thought to reside within this Oval Office. Yet it doesn't rest here; it rests in you, the American people, and in your trust. Your trust is what gives a president his powers of leadership and his personal strength, and it's what I want to talk to you about this evening.

For the past three months, I've been silent on the revelations about Iran. And you must have been thinking: "Well, why doesn't he tell us what's happening? Why doesn't he just speak to us as he has in the past when we've faced troubles or tragedies?" Others of you, I guess, were thinking: "What's he doing hiding out in the White House?" Well, the reason I haven't spoken to you before now is this: You deserve the truth. And as frustrating as the waiting has been, I felt it was improper to come to you with sketchy reports, or possibly even erroneous statements, which would then have to be corrected, creating even more doubt and confusion. There's been enough of that. I've paid a price for my silence in terms of your trust and confidence. But I've had to wait, as you have, for the complete story. That's why I appointed Ambassador David Abshire as my Special Counselor to help get out the thousands of documents to the various investigations. And I appointed a Special Review Board, the Tower Board, which took on the chore of pulling the truth together for me and getting to the bottom of things. It has now issued its findings.

Don't like that? Like to quibble with it? Well, all-righty then! (Going here, throwing dart totally randomly.) Okay, here we go:

Message on the Observance of National Nursing Home Week, May 12 - 18, 1985

May 13, 1985

During National Nursing Home Week, I urge all Americans to remember the contributions our older citizens have made in building America. These men and women are an important link with traditional American values for our young people today. Continued contact between older and younger Americans helps to strengthen these values for our future. I support the goals of the nursing home industry to provide the highest standards of medical and social services for the elderly, but institutional care is not enough. We must also encourage everyone to include the elderly in their lives.

Sweet Jesus Fuck! What a trivial announcement, and he uses the first person subject pronoun! In English!

My irritation at this bullshit goes beyond its obvious triviality. If Hanson thought this thesis about how Obama uses a particular pronoun was at all worth thinking about, and how this is somehow connected with "socialism," and I cannot imagine why, he could have gone at least to the fucking Google and see if Obama does this any more than any other modern presidents. I say "no, Obama doesn't." If he wants to say otherwise, well, he could check to see if his fucking thesis is correct before opening up his fucking yap.

Yeah, it's just a stupid blog post. But then again, I'm given to understand that Hanson is some class of "scholar." And yet he's content to throw poo because his biases tell him to. What a fucking embarrassment.
