Omnibit Of The Day 12-4-13

Dietrich Buxtehude, the great Danish composer and organist, must have had an ugly daughter. Johann Sebastian Bach, who at age 23 didn't have a pfennig in his pocket, walked from Arnstadt to Lubeck, Germany to hear him play the organ. Buxtehude, ready to retire tried to make a deal with young Bach. The organist job, if Bach would marry Fraulein Buxtehude. "Nein," said Bach. George Handel, another promising musician, had rejected the offer two years earlier.Omnibit Trivia 12-4-13 by William W. Lawrence Sr.

Laughable Common Core Assignments

Gary Rubinstein tweeted an image of a page of his daughter’s Common Core-based kindergarten work book. Laughable Common Core Assignments
Twitchy.com has collected the responses including this reply which was an image of  an answer key courtesy of Colette Moran.

Government officials’ commands must be obeyed by all? Really? Tell that to Franklin or Jefferson.

Or Martin Luther King Jr.

Or  suffragette Lucy Burns who was chained to a cell and beaten by minions of progressive president and Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

Hat tip Joanne Yurchak

Ed note: Colette Moran has tweeted us saying “To be fair, assignment preceded Common Core, but both are indicative of what happens when libs are in charge of ed.”

Thank you Colette. Your example still holds as to what awaits if Common Core becomes established.

Fiscal Cliff Made Understandable

Courtesy of Cathy Craddock Fiscal Cliff Made Understandable

“Fiscal Cliff” put in a much more understandable perspective:

*U.S. Tax Revenue: $2,170,000,000,000

*Federal Budget: $3,820,000,000,000

*New Debt $1,650,000,000,000

*National Debt: $14,271,000,000,000

*Recent Budget Cuts:  $38,500,000,000

These numbers are much too big to comprehend.  Remove 8 zeros from each and pretend it is your household budget:

*Annual Family Income: $21,700

*Money The Family Spent: $38,200

*New Debt On The Credit Card: $16,500

*Outstanding Balance On The Credit Card: $142,710

*Total Budget Cuts So Far:  $38.50

Raising the debt ceiling really helps the situation, doesn’t it?!

Obama Plays Hardball LOLOLOL

President Obama with his signature health plan looking like it’s not merely going to fail but to kill supporters has been smoked out of his hole on the golf course and will now field questions from a journalist. Obama Plays Hardball LOLOLOL

Well, OK, it’s going to Chris Matthews.

On MSNBC, which nobody watches.

At 7 p.m., Thursday night.

If people tune in, it won’t be to hear the President’s explanation but to see if Matthews loses control of the thrill in his leg and begins humping our Commander in Chief as certain dogs do unwary visitors.

Expect the President’s media blitz to next take him to Michael Smerconish’s podcast.
