"Birth of the Cool" is an album that collects the twelve sides recorded by the Miles Davis nonet (featuring Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz and others) for Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950. The music is considered seminal. This blog is dedicated to that spirit -- keeping things "cool" by blog birthing. If you've got somethin' cool to share, blow on.

A loyal Obama fan recharges his batteries
For quite some time now I have been discouraged over the Obama presidency. As I have written before, it's sort of like forcing a gifted quarterback to play on a team with a horrible offensive line, receivers with snail-like speed and concrete hands, and no defense at all. After a while even the most loyal fan stops going to the games because it is too painful to watch his idol be sacked, and literally beaten up, while his receivers drop the few passes he is able to get off, and meanwhile the defense is letting the other side score at will. My loyalty and admiration remain intact regarding the president, but I have to confess that I have been missing quite a few games these days. Thus, it was truly refreshing to read this article by Eugene Robinson. Guess I should pull out my season tickets and head for the stadium.

Obamacare is a testament to govt. incompetence.
Obama and Holder have lied about;
Fast and Furious
Benghazi
ACA
IRS
etc, etc.
Under Bush the US was feared by our enemies and had the trust of our allies. Today Obama has achieved exactly the opposite.
The economy continues to suffer under Obamanomics.
Obama continues to pick and choose what laws and rules he will enforce. That is not the role of the president but is the role of the congress. He deserves to be impeached, because without impeachment, an unconstitutional precedent will have been established.
