Just minutes after the election returns arrived in Boston Tuesday night, Martin Walsh’s cellphone rang. It was the vice president of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, offering his congratulations.

“You son of a gun, Marty!” he thundered. “You did it!”

The only problem was, it was the wrong Marty Walsh.

Biden had called the cellphone of Marty Walsh, a former aide to US Senator Edward M. Kennedy who is now the president of Gateway Public Solutions, a government relations firm in Boston

Well, Joe is still Joe! Stupid is as stupid does. I understand that Obama has to have the Good Humor Truck turn off it’s speakers when it passes the White Hut, because if Joe hears the music, he wants an ice cream.

Slow Joe doesn’t recognize himself in the mirror.

This is why the Obama Tinhorn Circus doesn’t worry me - the most expansive, intrusive government we’ve ever had in this country, and they can’t get a phone number right. Gun registry? Government run healthcare? Yeh, in your dreams, folks.

Where or WHERE are the ENDLESS "one heartbeat away" stories that plagued Dan Quayle when it comes to Biden?

Biden does stupid crap every damn day.

To the point that, YEAH, I do worry about Obama's health.

Imagine someone like Biden in the Oval Office.

Every time I see that particular sentiment, I remember my Cicero:

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

A murderer is less to fear.

The traitor is the plague.

Better a corrupt , amiable dunce than an evil despot who fully intends to destroy the economy and the nations.

Nice. And sadly, so far above the heads of even the best "educated" Americans.

The movie "Christine" written by Stephen King has a wonderful line.

When Arnie buys the possessed car, his friend tries to confront the old codger who sold him the demonic car that has corrupted Arnie's mind. Arnie defends "Christine" to the death.

The coot says: "You don't know $hit, boy!".

So many Americans are just mesmerized by the lies of Obama.

I'm stunned at the level of obedience.

A nation simply cannot survive if their own people are so easily duped.

Well it turned out to be a test of what America would do if its government became all cockeyed.

Well here’s what happens. A polite stir.

So God lets the evil bear down another notch. Repeat test.

Until the answer to “Miss Me, yet?” is “YES LORD YES LORD YES YES YES WE DO!”
