>Been A While Since I Did One Of These….

>Tacky, tacky, tacky. Maybe tin ear, I’m not sure.  That might explain why he didn’t say anything like “Guys… cheering?  Come on, be respectful.” Either way– did nobody say “Hey, maybe handing out t-shirts with a logo on them is a little, um, out of bounds for a memorial service?”  (Side: why does a school have [...]

>Keepin’ It Tacky

>Another in an enduring series:  when invited to golf with someone who opposes him, he relays the message “go play with yourself.” *head desk*  And I had such hopes from the lack of obvious screw-ups with the new Brit PM…. On a side note: CY has an outstanding delivery, you really should go read it.

>And Again With The Tacky

>One of the time-passers I use when driving is the “what if?” You take something that is– you always seem to lose only one sock of a pair, for example– and come up with out-there reasons– there’s a monster that breeds in dryer lint that eats socks– and try to argue for or against them. [...]

>Tacky

>Confederate Yankee: The Punk White House Pretty good summation of the latest in crass….

>Tacky Little Man is Tacky

>Yeah, Obama? Grow up.

>I Should Make A Series

>How Tacky Is This Twerp?

>Just heard on the news– KOMO, if you must know:  ”The President injected a few barbs into his Prayer Breakfast remarks.” Knew he was tacky, but that’s taking it even further than being openly insulting to guests bound by precedent and honor to not speak out in their own defense. Greatly lacking in couth. Grow [...]

>Kids These Days-

>wearing too much makeup. Fah! ((What, is there some kind of rule for libs that says “when you’ve repeated yourself too much on the parents, go for the little girls?))  If I’d posted something like that– shoot, if I’d SAID something like that in public– my mom would chew my tail…. Dad would probably look [...]

>Oh, Come On-

>is *anyone* surprised that the Obamas were tacky as all get-go in greeting PM Brown and his family?  I’ve heard several suggested reasons why this might be– the President holding a grudge for his grandfather being smacked down during the Mau Mau Rebellion, “Lady MacBeth Obama” made him do it, or that Obama just felt [...]
