The Daily Plunge

ObamaCare: It seems like years ago when the Democrats passed one of the worst pieces of legislation in American history. Thanks to the evil Democrats the American taxpayer will be funding abortions. Remember when Stupak famously caved thanks to an Obama executive order? The pro-death left dismissed pro-life fears as paranoia. However, we should know better. Whenever you hear the words “let me be clear” be prepared to get the exact opposite of what is said.

Mandate equals tax: The dishonesty of the White House is becoming comical. When it was politically beneficial the White House claimed the ObamaCare mandate wasn’t a tax. My, how times have changed. The President told George Snuffaluffagus Stephanopoulos, “You can’t just make up that language and decide that that’s called a tax increase.” Or, you can, and that’s the way the White House is going to sell its unconstitutional bill to the courts. Let me be clear… The most transparent administration in the history of our great nation is also the most opaque. I’ll let you figure this paradox out on your own, because I can’t.

Inception: I saw the best movie of the year on Friday. Christopher Nolan’s Inception is the most original movie this year and by far the most entertaining. It also contains the best action sequence I’ve seen in a film since the Matrix. Did I mention it’s rated PG-13 and fairly family friendly? The only problem with the film are the petrol-guzzling, jet-setting, tire-burning, I-can-have-mine-but-you-can’t-have-yours stars, but most conservatives have learned to separate willfully ignorant artists from their work. Unfortunately, the willfully ignorant have a very hard time keeping their willful ignorance to themselves, just as Narcissus had a very difficult time taking his eyes off himself.

Gulf Oil Spill: It looks like the spill might finally be contained. The fallout, though, is going to play out for a significant amount of time. I don’t want to subscribe to any conspiracy theories, but it appears there’s been some kind of cap on the media coverage of the effected areas. I guess the devastation is too much for the American people. That didn’t seem to be the media’ philosophy when covering Katrina or Iraq, but who am I to complain? Plus, I’m too busy glued to TMZ and the latest on Lindsay Lohan to really notice. Apparently, she’s pretty “freaked out” about going to jail for 90 days. Don’t bend over for the soap, Lindsay!

Humanitarian Shopping Crisis: Speaking of lazy journalists, here are some images that western media outlets will not show in Gaza. Gauging by the images it sure doesn’t look that bad. I wonder how all those supplies are making their way into the the Hamas-controlled state? I’m sure human-rights activists like Jimmy Carter are all over this one since it looks like the Jews are allowing only three different colors of balloons into Gaza.

Finally, I can’t wait for the movie The Politician. The Aaron Sorkin project will be about the rise and spectacular fall of John Edwards (who, by the way, is a Democrat). I’ll be interested in how they spin one of the worst politicians to come around the past couple of decades. Something tells me it will be a re-telling of that classic tale, The Jerk…
