Author: Damon Vickers

Blurb: “The U.S. government is having its regular auction of U.S. Treasury notes. Here we go again begging to the world with our tin cup. Only this time the world says, ‘No. We aren’t going to buy any more U.S. I.O.U.s.'”

Review: “I got Damon’s new book as a present recently from my grandpa and was totally put off because the topic is definitely one that had never interested me before.”

Obligatory Glenn Beck Endorsement: “This is the only person I have heard who seems to have the total picture and the guts or the insanity to actually say it out loud.”

Our guest columnist this evening is not allowed to use a fork.

A mysterious, pale green figure seen in televised news coverage of the Egyptian riots has prompted some viewers to ask, “Could this be the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse?”

Dunno if anyone is a fan of the Ricky Gervais podcast, but this new show, where they send Karl Pilkington around the world, should be even funnier.

So apparently somebody who sells expensive things we have no interest in buying posted a Naughty Tweet about Egypt the other day, which angered many people, causing him (or it, or the Assistant Director for Social Media) to apologize and delete the message.

In case you missed it, an enterprising freelance publicist attached a handsome representation of the tweet to the window of the proprietor’s San Francisco retailarium early Friday morning. And to think, we had to make do with cheap photocopies during our guerilla-satirist days.

“‘Once we’re 100 percent sure Joe Lieberman is retired, we will allow it to die,’ said [Connecticut for Lieberman Party] current chairman and very unsuccessful U.S. Senate candidate, John Mertens. ‘We’ll meet again in 2010, and that will probably be our last meeting ever.'” [Hartford Advocate, via Tom Tomorrow]

Speaking of fears of religious takeovers of proud nations, let’s visit the Fox website…

President Obama misquoted a familiar Bible verse during a faith-based address at the National Prayer Breakfast.

“Those who wait on the Lord will soar on wings like eagles, and they will run and not be weary, and they will walk and not faint,” the president said during a speech to several thousand people at the breakfast.

But the actual passage, from Isaiah 40:31, states: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Well, if you want to go there, the actual passage states this:

וקוי יהוה יחליפו כח יעלו אבר כנשרים ירוצו ולא ייגעו ילכו ולא ייעפו׃

But since God’s Language is English, and He personally dictated the contents of the King James Bible, Fox Nation is correct. Obama, quoting from the New International Version, revealed that he’s going straight to Hell.
