Worst ever mass murderer memorialized where?
Posted by Bigfoot on December 23rd, 2009
Back in 1968, John Lennon sang the following lines in the Beatles song Revolution:
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
Lennon was not what I’d call an anti-communist. His politics leaned leftward, including opposing the war in Vietnam, as reflected in another one of his songs. But perhaps he still realized how evil Mao was. If so, he had more sense than the designers of this year’s White House Christmas tree ornaments.

When I first saw this story about the ornaments on the Christmas tree in the White House Blue Room, those words from “Revolution” immediately popped into my mind. A generational thing, I suppose.
Anyway, those ornaments on that particular Christmas tree are a travesty!

Just showing their wide and uncompromising diversity. Also, showing just how deep the lack of common sense is in the one place our country needs it most.
By the week before next year’s election Duh-1 had better have all his ducks in a row. Hopefully, if citizens can let their attention span extend more than three minutes, there will never be a jackass majority in Congress again.
Then maybe we can get back to a Congress that at least has a modicum of transparency. Can’t hope for that at the WH until the Thug-in-Chief is unceremoniously dumped.

It’s almost as if the administration is making a list of the most ridiculous things that no one previously thought would ever happen and going down checking them off one by one.
