The "Uh" Game


I do home day care for a living and have a new game for you to try at home.  The only thing you need is a working television or radio…  

One day at the onset of the Obama administration, my four year old charge and I were sitting around during naptime.  I decided to watch the news in hopes of lulling her to sleep.  As luck would have it, a live press conference was in session hosted by the president’s press secretary, Robert Gibbs.

As he was responding to questions and evading concrete replies, I noticed that he said “uh” whenever the answer was in the cloudy section of clarity.  To entertain my preschooler, I said, “Let’s play the ‘Uh’ game!  Every time the man on TV says ‘uh’ you have to raise both hands in the air.  Whoever is fastest to catch the ‘uhs’ wins.”

She eagerly joined in with me and I can tell you, our arms were pretty tired at the end of the fifteen minute press conference.  Now every afternoon, she begs me to turn on the set to see if the “Uh” game is on and sad to say, we’ve been able to play it all the time.  She just loves that man.  Who knew obfuscation could be such fun!

Wish I could say the same for what he is uttering.  My little teammate asked me if he will always be available to play the game because he makes her laugh so much and I replied wistfully, “Hopefully only for the next four years!”

I think tomorrow we’ll turn on Chris Matthews and play the “Scream” game!

Conservative Casserole

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

1 PART: Getting married in the 70’s, paying 900.00 “marriage tax” while my single,  pregnant friend received a one year leave of absence at her teaching job at a public school, free health insurance, food stamps, and welfare as the father of her child continued working and driving a large SUV.

 

3 PARTS: Daily listening of Dr. Laura to re-learn what was taught in Sunday school and washed out of me in 12 years of government education - that we are responsible for our own choices and actions, have a moral duty to take care of ourselves, that we are not a victim just because life throws us a curve, and that common sense is not that common anymore.

 

10 PARTS: Heeding my parents’ advice (and not my liberal brother’s) about Rush Limbaugh, actually listening to him (learning that he is not an idiot, that he fairly presents the liberal viewpoint by playing their own words, teaching listeners volumes about conservatism,) and discovering that he is indeed a great patriot who loves this country.

 

30 PARTS:  Rediscovering God while raising a family and knowing deep inside that there is more to life than just existing here on earth, resulting in joining a Bible-believing church and consulting the Good Book for guidance rather than Oprah, Dr. Phil or the Hollywood glitterati.

 

COMBINE the above ingredients as listed and stew slowly over 20 years.

 

SEASON with daily sprinkling of FOX News, the Drudge Report and World Net Daily.

 

NOTE: for spicier flavor, combine with Rick Santelli’s call to arms (http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1039849853) and SERVE WITH TEA!
