Gerard Baker is mentioned at the beginning of the monologue on the screen – prominently enough for even a Fox Channel watcher to be aware of it. However the video contains images to match the dialogue so they may have mentioned the producer to credit him for the work done on the video.

that Obama’s gas
lifted him far and high.
But it turned that out hope
in this secular Pope
was misplaced;
another idol
like many gone by.

Laughter is the best antidote to Messianic blowards.

I can’t stand that aspect of some male writer/talking heads I see on television. Fox News is starting to hire all of these types of males. It’s quite annoying.

1) Afghanistan will say “No you can’t.”
2) Global cooling will say “No you
shouldn’t.”
3) Ron Paul in 2012 will say “No you won’t.” But lest I jink my own predictions:

I’d like to predict the future.
But surely if I do,
the One who owns the future
might pull a switcheroo.

Here is a youtube of Gerald Baker giving a dramatic reading of his column on “Hannity & Colmes” (Courtesy of R.S. McCain)

[So why did Hannity not credit Baker, and said only, “my producer”? It’s wrong.–IM]

They had an Andy Warholesque picture of Obama peering out ala Che Guevara in that kitschy photo of the new socialist man. Under each photo was the word “Hope” or “Change” (your choice!). It promised to be the most inspiring T-Shirt you could have that day for the low price of $10 each.

Even worse, people lined up looking to buy them. It was very creepy that a man can get so popular by saying absolutely nothing and having a background so utterly devoid of accomplishments.

This is the first election where I’m simply not going to vote. I won’t even be voting Libertarian. The entire system is rigged and it isn’t going to get fixed until the entire ship heads over the falls.
