Bromance

I’m surprised that neither the mainstream media nor even the not so mainstream media has picked up on this story.  I’m sure it’s just a mere oversight, they’ve probably been too busy covering some gold digger in Chicago and guys in a shower at the Penn.  (Sorry is the Penn State joke too soon?) You could probably surf the internet for hours and not find a single story.  If the media and the blogs started to take notice, America could benefit from the media getting on this story ASAP.

Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are having a HUGE Bromance.  Oh so you’re not sure what a Bromance is?  Bromance: Describes the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males.  That’s all I kept seeing in the footage from the G8, G6, G12, G482 One of those G conferences where a bunch of guys get together for photo ops and a bunch of protestors also get together for a different kind of photo op.

I think Obama and Sarkozy are the only two world leaders who attend these useless meetings and they just hire a bunch of guys to play the part of the other leaders for the photo ops.  Once the extras from the photo ops go home, Sarkozy and Obama hang out in the hotel suite telling each other how great the other one is.  I can just see them hanging in the hotel room drinking beer and laughing about Obama’s Nobel Peace prize.

The Sarkozy-Obama bromance has only turned up trouble for the guys.  Like the photo of Obama turning around to glance at a girls backside.  I often feel like I’m watching an episode of Bosom Buddies.  Unfortunately, I don’t think either one of these guys will go on to have the career of Tom Hanks but more like Peter Scolari.  Then to top it off, the whole Bad Bosom Buddies episode Sarkozy and Obama just like Leslie Nielson fell for the open mic trick and talked like real housewives of Jersey about Netanyahu.  Sorry, but if there was a cage match between Netanyahu, Obama and Sarkozy, my money would be on Netanyahu.

Now normally, I wouldn’t care if the President wants to have a Bromance with another world leader but this is Sarkozy, the President of France.  France?  I mean if you want to look strong don’t hang with the short guy from France?  Let’s be honest, Sarah Palin is tougher than Sarkozy. I know Obama couldn’t have a bromance with her but it would look better.  How about Putin for a bromance?  Putin has got the whole cowboy ride with my shirt off and hunt a dangerous animal thing down.  I think America would look better if Obama was pictured hunting with Palin and Putin.

I’m reminded of a story that I heard George Bush tell once where he invited Putin to his ranch in Crawford.  He did this, explaining the meetings at the ranch where better than the G8 meetings, since you could really get to know someone.  Bush asked if he wanted to meet his dog. When Barney came around the corner, Putin did not look impressed and Bush said he kind of dissed Barney.  A year later, Bush was in Russia visiting Putin when Putin asked if he would like to meet his dog.  With a whistle, a huge massive dog came running around the corner and Putin leaned over to Bush and said “Bigger, Stronger, Faster!”  Bush went back and explained this story to an aide who then told the President, be happy he only showed you his dog.   

I can only imagine the lessons Obama is learning from Shorty Sarkozy.  Maybe this is why we fought without really fighting in Libya.  I’m just worried that Sarkozy is giving him lessons in the art of surrender.  Obama has already got the submissive bow down; I really don’t want to see him learn how to surrender with both hands in the air it seems like he has already gotten half of it down.  

I’m truly worried about Chicago next spring as Sarkozy and Obama continue their bromance.  I have often wondered why cities would host one of these useless G summits when all we see is footage of the bromance followed by footage of trust fund kids tearing up the city because mommy and daddy wouldn’t buy them a Porsche.  Nothing I would love more than to see an officer use their pepper spray or some tear gas on these punks!

So please can we end this useless G-bromance and save Chicago from the next great fire.  If Obama and Sarkozy want to continue their bromance, I say let them be but let’s leave the other world leaders and the rioting brats at home.  Let the two of them get a nice ski resort in France and leave the rest of us out of it!

OWS

  

As many of you know, I have had the pleasure of hanging out with the Occupy Wall Street folk.  I have to admit, I was a bit shocked at how much we had in common.  Turns out that OWS does not like the bank bailouts; Funny neither did most of the Tea Party.  My theory is that the members of OWS have been stoned for the past few years after the bailout and are just now sobering up because mom and dad no longer have extra cash to give to junior.  Maybe next we’ll have to bailout the suburban drug dealers since junior won’t be able to get his allowance from daddy and buy drugs. 

I’m thinking maybe the Occupy’s could take a few lessons from the Tea Party.  For example and maybe the biggest tip is to set a start and end time.  As of right now Occupy has no way out and will be sleeping on the street forever.  You have to worry about people that want to sleep on a city street; I don’t think even the homeless want to be there.  The other lesson OWS could learn is to have a clear message, I know this is difficult for potheads coming down from a high.  Remember, this is the same high that made them not only miss TARP but also got Obama elected.  The Tea Party was very clear, less spending and smaller government or we vote you out.  Here is my best idea of a list of demands from OWS.

1.       Forgive all student loans

2.       Houses for everyone

3.       End global warming

4.       Cash for everyone

5.       Unions everywhere

6.       Plastic drums for everyone

7.       Starbucks vente Latte’s

8.       Legalized drugs (because sometime Starbucks just isn’t enough)

9.        Memorial Steve Jobs I-phones for all (The Revolution must be tweeted)

10.   Gladly pay you Tuesday for a cheeseburger today

I do love the fact that these people are out protesting capitalism while drinking their Starbucks, tweeting on their I phone while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask that was featured in a Warner Brothers movie and yes, Warner Brothers is getting a cut.  Not to mention that they sit and listen to Michael Moore who is usually trying to sell his latest book or movie that he shot with a non union crew.

Although the Tea Party and OWS may have similar ideas they are actually miles apart.  I’m reminded of the old anti-drug commercial, “This is your brain, and this is your brain on drugs.” This is the Tea Party this is the Tea Party on Drugs.

A little OWS photo fun

This just in!!!!!!

 According to reports a large amount of paper was dumped on occupiers in Chicago.  The papers dumped on the occupiers was actually McDonald's applications.  Good for you CME Traders!!!
