Kabuki theater if ever there was…I’m calling this one as coordinated PR efforts.

I barely knew who Seth Rogen was before the controversy about his movie. Money can’t buy the kind of publicity he and James Franco are getting out of this.

Hey, and I’ll applaud when the public ignores this pornographic filth

Hello there, little Tommy. This is your opportunity to tell Santa directly what special present you want most for me to place under your family tree for you to open Christmas morning in celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior. So, go ahead, son, tell me.

Santa, what I want most of all is complimentary tickets or an enhanced extras DVD of the latest boffo comedy stylings of Seth Rogan and James Franco (that’s Franco, James, not Flacco, James, or Flacco, Joe, who I watch on TV on most Sundays during the NFL season). I realize it’s possible that this isn’t their best boffo comedy, and that Seth Rogan’s been responsible for the release of several movies where the total comedy in them amounted to under the average length of a stand-up comedy club routine on open mike night, but I feel that this one must be ROTFLMAO funny, or else Kim Jung Un would not have taken on such an awesome risk of his dictatorship against the world’s reigning superpower empire.

Now Tommy, Santa wouldn’t want you to be disappointed, so, you’re not concerned that this entire movis may be based on an idea the comedic possibilities of which are completely exhausted in the first 15 minutes and after that devolves into a series of lame chase scenes that make Buster Keaton jogging tiresomely around Rome in a toga at the end of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum seem like the epitome of dry wit?

Santa, I just feel like this movie has to strike a crucial blow for liberty in the timeless struggle against foreign tyranny, or else why would Sony have gone to all this trouble to publicize its release?

Like the public always ignores pornographic filth … like Utah’s about to ignore online porn, any day now.

Breaking News. Obama Approval Rating at all time high - 48%-50%

Improving views of the economy have helped hike President Barack Obama’s approval rating to a 20-month high, a new CNN/ORC poll showed Tuesday, as markets climbed to record levels at news of an economy in overdrive.

More Americans still disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President. But at 48%, Obama’s approval rating is at its highest point in CNN polling since May 2013.

Get complete coverage of breaking news on CNN TV, CNN.com and CNN Mobile.

I am sure all the right wing heads are exploding as well s Darcy and UFG,

Lame Duck my ass!!!

Gallup, who conducted the poll (and, BTW, is owned by GOP interests), has tried to downplay its own poll, by claiming the approval numbers for Obama ‘lag behind pre-decessors’.

And by ‘pre-decessors, they restrict the comparison to POTUS’ in the last 2 years of their second terms. So, out go JFK, LBJ, Carter and GHW Bush, and we’re down to the only available comparisons: Ike, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, and GW Bush (the younger).

What do Gallup’s numbers say about how Obama did in those comparisons?

Obama loses to Ike and Clinton, but beats Nixon like a freakin’ dead snake in a drum shop, beats Reagan by a couple of points, and beats GW Bush (the younger) like he’s a serious contender for worst POTUS in POTUS history. That’s 2 losses, against 3 wins.

And the 2 losses are to a fellow Democrat, Clinton - who appears must have received a big boost from the nation being thrilled he could still get it up for an intern, not to mention the soaring economy - and the guy who wiingers always claim was a closet Democrat (and indeed who was urged by President Truman to run in 1948 as a Democrat on an Ike-Truman ticket with Ike being the POTUS candidate - and who Truman wrote had actually COMMITTED to this deal but broke it) - who, not unlike Clinton, appears to have been boosted by a soaring economy.

So, onto meaning: If you’re the POTUS and the economy is soaring, then in year 6 of your 8th year you get net positive approval … and are actually or end up getting ‘outed’ as a Democrat.

But if you’re the POTUS and the economy is sinking, or you stink of the stench of paranoid authoritarianism, or if you secretly bomb countries or approve of secret wars in Central Amerca or secretly torture folks, or if you’re simply just an icon of GOPerism, then in year 6 of your 8th year you get a national thumbs down … and, as it turns out, you are, invariably, a Republican.

R U FINALLY LISTENING, AMERICA?

Inside job much? Just a lesson on marketing an otherwise flop of a Christmas film in 2014. It;s how it;s done…

Do you really think Angela Jolie was butthurt about it?

Where is Little Miss Can’t be Wrong anyways?? sniffle sniffle…

The air is so much better to breathe in here…

Still a dud, but now with new improved surprise. Don’t you dare miss it-Your Life Might Just Depend On It!

Further proof that the Fucking Moron in the White House is indeed a Fucking Moron. The only thing I can think of worse than this idiot in the white House is the worthless piece of shit to follow (of whatever party).

Brendan, this is the second article in a row in which you’ve spelled the middle day of the week “Wendesday”. Once is a typo; twice suggests that you actually think that’s how it’s spelled. Um, it’s not.

Thinking is not exactly your forte is it guy?

“FuckingMororn” must be the vocabulary words in your AryanNationHandbook for Dummies for this week.

How many ‘brownie’ …I mean whitey points do they award you for malignorance?.

…and intended consequence.

Stupid folks are soooooooooo easy to manipulate.

…and Sony thanks its mother, father, and president O for all the publicity.

This ploy needs its own classification as coordinated incoordination. You can be sure the public won’t let the madmen down. Listen, it is not easy to market inane crap in a sea of inanities.
