Just for fun, here's George Carlin's take on Earth Day. Do I need to tell you that there will be bad words in this video? Well, there, I just did.

Achievements anyone?

Now why did I ask you good folks to list his achievements right off the bat here? Well, that would be because I can't really think of any. Perhaps that's because I tend to think of achievements in a positive, not a negative sense.

The Fox News crowd had a panel on this morning to discuss Obama's achievements. What's the best they could come up with?

• He's perfected his brand and he's likable.
• He has a high popularity rating.
• He passed the most expensive spending package in history ... one written by the congress, not by him.

These are achievements? This is the best this esteemed Fox panel could come up with?

I guess we won't be able to avoid addressing this "First 100 Days" stuff this week, so hang around. For right now let's just say that the people who will really remember these first 100 days will be your children and grandchildren. They are the ones who will be paying the bills while living in a country where achievement is no longer rewarded.

... And so are the French!

You've heard this story by now, haven't you? The Somali Muslim pirates tried to board an Italian cruise ship far off the coast of Somalia. Well it seams that the Italians decided that they want to protect their cruise ships and their passengers .. so they went out and hired security teams.

Hmmmmmm.

Now where would you go for some good kick-ass security teams? Did they hire Blackwater (or whatever they're called now)? Nope. They hired Israelis. Every Italian cruise ship has a team of Israeli commando-types. When the Somali Muslim pirates approached firing. When they tried to put up a ladder to board the ship the Israelis opened fire. Pirates left. Hopefully some of them complete with bullet holes.

In the meantime ... several other ships were attacked by these Muslim pirates and some were taken hostage. The international community needs to declare this place a war zone and start blowing these goons out of the water.

The White House has officially declared a "public health emergency" because of this swine-flu pandemic. Here's the call from your drill instructor: "Mill around .. .MILL!" (Wonder how many people will get that.)

Is it just me, or are some people getting a little on the wild side about this. If you have a cough - swine flu. If you have an itch on your buttocks - swine flu. As of right now, there are 20 reported cases in the United States. California, Kansas, New York, Ohio and Texas have all reported cases. The whole thing started in Mexico, where it has killed 80 people and infected over 1,300. If the Mexicans are as successful in sending this bug north as they were in sending framers and sheet rock installers, we might be in for a spot of trouble.

Not to belittle this but ... ok, who am I kidding. Over 1,300 Mexicans have been infected with this swine flu out of a population of 109 million. So what percentage of the population are we talking? Something like .00001% of the population. And in the United States, that number is clearly smaller, considering that we have a population of over 306 million and there have been 20 reported cases. I'm just not in panic mode yet.

Either way, guess who is in charge of handling this situation? The acting head of the CDC and Nitwit Napolitano. That's because the Obama administration does not yet have a secretary of human services, a surgeon general or a director of the CDC. Instead of spending some time on these appointments Obama hit the golf course over the weekend. That's OK, though .. because he was briefed on the flu every hour. So Janet is in charge. She now has the chance to save face and recover from her major goof with the DHS report. That's IF she doesn't muck this up too.

As of now, the federal government is going to release 25% of its stockpile of Tamiflu and Relenza. Governor Rick Perry of Texas has requested for more than 37,000 doses of Tamiflu to be sent to his state. The liberals are giving him a hard time about that. They are calling him a "hypocrite," citing that just two weeks ago Rick Perry made mention of succession and now he is calling on the federal government for help in this flu pandemic. Yeah, that's about as braindead an argument as you could expect from a liberal.

In the meantime .... Wash your hands and don't kiss any illegals.

.... and keep it closed. The idea of closing the Mexican border has been brought up. New York Democrat Rep. Eric Massa is one of those people who suggested that the border should be closed until the threat is resolved.

Great idea. Why haven't we thought of that sooner? Why did it take a flu pandemic for this to seem like a logical idea? If we can get our butts in gear to close the border to protect ourselves from a flu infection, why can't we use half of that urgency to seriously arm and protect our borders from illegal aliens?

Over the weekend, Barack Obama decided that it would be a good idea to re-institute the pay-as-you-go legislation, otherwise known as PAYGO. Basically, this would require that any new federal spending be offset by cuts in the budget or ... tax hikes!

Wait a minute her! Obama just presided over the largest government spending increase in the history of our nation .. and now he's on the PAYGO kick? We all know he's not going to cut any government spending to pay for his new programs, so what does that leave? Raise taxes, that's what. The key here is that you don't raise taxes on the people what brung you to the dance. So ... if you're an achiever. If you are an evil business owner. If you're one of those people who provide about 80% of the jobs out there ... it's BOHICA time. Raising the tax rates on the productive is change you can believe in.

Hillary Clinton says that last week's deadly bombings in Iraq are a sign that extremists are afraid that the Iraqi government is succeeding.

Know what? Hillary may be right. But this is something only a Democrat can say. Imagine if a Republican had tried to explain that bombings in Iraq were a sign of progress. Wouldn't fly.

Wendi Aarons is a blogger from Austin, Texas. She's a very clever writer. Here's a link to a letter she wrote to the president of Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. Since some of you wouldn't click on a link if your life depended on it, I'll just go ahead and post her letter here. It's a trip. For those of you who do know what a hyperlink is, you can click right here.

Jamie Dupree covers the swine flu from Washington D.C.

Here is a classic story of a woman who voted for Obama because he was supposed to solve all of her problems ... but now reality has set in, and she isn't too pleased that Obama hasn't shown up at her door to personally pay her electric bill. Gotta love it.

Dianne Feinstein wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal explaining why her Senate committee should be allowed to conduct investigations into CIA interrogation tactics.

Meanwhile, the White House is considering releasing more memos, while Democrats like Patrick Leahy are giddy at the thought of a "truth commission." Loving the Democrats in charge, aren't you?

What does the public think about a "truth commission"? According to Rasmussen, just 28% think the Obama administration should do further investigating of how suspected terrorists were questioned during the Bush years.

Leading up to Obama's 100th day in office, the New York Post has taken the liberty of listing 100 mistakes for his 100 days in office.

Al Sharpton is daring Rudy Giuliani to run for governor of New York against David Patterson.

Attorney General Eric Holder is begging Europe to take our Gitmo detainees. Maybe the administration should have thought about this before deciding to shut it down. Yeah ... like Europe wants those Islamic goons.

Democrat Rep. John Dingell tells Al Gore, "Nobody in this country realizes that cap-and-trade is a tax -- and it's a great big one."

Remember, government education is not about educating your children .. it is all about making sure that the teachers unions maintain their power.

Guess who is going to be the senior advisor to our labor secretary? A woman known as an influential advocate for the card check legislation.

Did Al Gore lie to the Senate committee about how much money he has personally kept from his global warming scam?

How close are we coming to government-backed credit cards? Some are calling them "O-cards" since they would essentially be backed by Barack Obama.

Once the Gargoyle takes the celestial dirt nap ... it looks like he is already grooming his son to take his place. Oh joy.

The King of Jordan says that if the United States doesn't do something soon, there is going to be a war in the Middle East.

Who is going to be the Senator from Minnesota? Looks like we are going to have to wait until June for the state Supreme Court to decide.

I'm glad that somebody has come to the conclusion that Barack Obama is our nation's "hippest" president. Being "hip" is really going to do wonders for our nation and our future.

Everybody panic ... the number of bird strikes is on the rise.

The swine flu is being linked to factory farms?
