Barack Obama was wrong. The are only 24 states, not 57. And the 4th of July is the perfect day to celebrate each and every one of them.

"Reporting from Waziristan, this is Osama Bin Laden, Action News al Jazeera."
MSNBC now has some competition for the virulently anti-American American TV viewer.
Al Jazeera English language service began 24-hour a day broadcasts in Washington, D.C. on July 1.
But as Forbes points out, Al Jazeera has a bit of a marketing problem:
Though well respected among Muslims worldwide, in the U.S. Al Jazeera is presumed to be biased against the U.S. and western Europe. It has, at any rate, some controversial connections–or, depending on your point of view, courageous reporters. Correspondent Taysir Alouni interviewed Osama bin Laden just after the Sept. 11 attacks and is now under house arrest in Madrid after a Spanish court convicted him in 2005 of transporting cash for al Qaeda. Correspondent Tarek Ayoub was killed in a U.S. missile strike on Al Jazeera’s Baghdad headquarters in 2003; Alouni, then Baghdad bureau chief, helped recover Ayoub’s body. Then there’s Sami Al-Hajj, an Al Jazeera cameraman who was arrested in Afghanistan in 2001 and held at Guantanamo Bay for six years. Al-Hajj claims that he was beaten and force-fed prior to his release, without charge, in May 2008. In January, during the war in Gaza, the network was the only TV newscaster with reporters on both Palestinian and Israeli sides of the conflict.
Burman seeks to turn skepticism about the network’s point of view into a benefit. “We aim to appeal to viewers who get tired of Western or American perspectives and want a more global view of the world,” says Tony Burman, managing director of al-Jazeera English.
MSNBC executives must be very worried that their network will be abandoned by viewers who want to watch a real anti-American network instead of a cheap knock-off.

As Lahoma Sue Smith told her customer, "No chips, no dip."
What the hell is going on in the nation’s heartland?
Lahoma Sue Smith, an Oklahoma City prostitute, pleaded no contest after being accused of trading her…uhhh…services for a box of chips. She was fined $1,142.
Police report that undercover officers saw Smith “trying to catch a date” by flashing her headlights. (We will pause now while you make your own joke about a prostitute “flashing her headlights.”) When they approached Smith’s car, her blouse was open and a man was pulling his pants up in the passenger seat.
The man told Smith he was looking for company but had no money. He must have caught her in a generous mood, because she agreed to trade sex for the $30 case of Frito-Lay chips she noticed in his back seat. (We will now pause again while you make your own joke about the name Frito-Lay and prostitution.)
When police asked Smith if she had ever been arrested for prostitution, she said, “Yes. Two or three times.”
We assume the attached photo of Smith doesn’t do her justice. Because she’s obviously all that and a bag of chips.

Bruno isn't half as fraudulent as LA School Superintendent Ramon Cortines
School District honcho Ramon Cortines is outraged by photos of pseudo gay fashion icon “Bruno” taken with football players at LA’s Birmingham High School.
Cortines howls that the district has “allowed our students to be used.”
We’d salute his efforts to protect the city’s children. Except for one thing: It’s nothing but phony showboating.
In reality, Cortines seems far more worried about students being used by comic predator Cohen in a Hollywood photo shoot than about students being used by real predators in the city’s classrooms.
A recent Los Angeles Times report concluded, “Repeatedly, the district failed to follow up on sexual misconduct complaints against employees once police or prosecutors dropped criminal actions. Some ended up at new schools. In at least one instance…the new principal had no idea of his history.”
Molesting your young students? No problem. Sexually involved with your older students? No problem. But shooting some funny photos with an actor? That’s a problem.
It’s not easy to be this stupid. Cortines must be a graduate of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Congressional Black Caucus being abused by evil Republican slave master John Boehner
Looks like we were right to be concerned that the House of Representatives’ apology for slavery was just a prelude to reparations.
Otherwise, it’s difficult to explain black House Democrats’ reaction to a “no reparations” disclaimer inserted in the Senate version of the apology.
The Senate disclaimer says: “Nothing in this resolution (A) authorizes or supports any claim against the United States or (B) serves as a settlement of any claim against the United States.”
Those simple words have angered members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
“I would not want to have any language in place that would deny anyone, any citizen, the right to address a grievance,” said wacko Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat.
“I feel that some method other than just an apology should be made. People should be made whole,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said.
To that we say, “Shut the hell up, Sheila. Close your pie hole, Bennie.”
Uh-oh. Have we gone too far? In that case, we would like to issue an apology for the previous paragraph. But no reparations.

The President says California has a brilliant energy policy that should be emulated by the rest of the country.
President Obama must be a Michael Jackson fan. Because when he talks about California’s energy policy, he’s definitely in Neverland.
Yesterday the President called California’s “energy-efficiency policies” an example for the rest of the nation and noted that “Californians consume 40 percent less energy per person than the national average.”
Harvard’s Edward Glaeser logically points out that California’s temperate climate has far more impact on the state’s low energy consumption than the state’s draconian energy policies.
“January temperature does a terrific job of explaining carbon emissions from home heating and July temperature does almost as well at explaining electricity usage,” Glaeser noted. “California has the most temperate climate in the country and as a result, homes use less heat in the winter and less electricity in the summer. In hot, humid Houston or frigid Minneapolis, people use plenty of energy to artificially recreate what California has naturally.”
According to the President’s illogical spin, California’s lack of power plants is another sign of its success. But in reality, California uses 20% more electricity than it generates and is forced to import power from neighboring states that aren’t crippled by California’s overly-strict environmental regulations.
The President may have been completely wrong about California, but at least he’s consistent. He’s wrong about the other 56 states, too.

So-called Town Hall meetings have always been a farce. Same with Obama’s idea of “transparency.” Now reporters are even starting to complain.
Absent the pretense of a campaign “debate” platform, Town Hall meetings are now merely infomercials. Pure propaganda. Filled with hack partisan activists and axe-grinders who have nothing better to do than ask pre-approved questions. Unless it’s your job to report on these charades, you shouldn’t be watching them.
But it seems the media lapdogs are growing restless. Some in the White House press corps are no longer content to be the Obama administration’s public relations pep squad.
Helen Thomas has covered every president since Lincoln, er… Kennedy. Anyway, she’s old enough to know better and to resent the spoon-feeding. We don’t agree with Thomas on muchof anything, but we can’t help but cheer for her in this video. Watch as she teams up with CBS’ Chip Reid to confront smarmy spokes-tool Robert Gibbs about the White House’s manipulative question-planting techniques and his insulting non-answers.
Then imagine the outcry if the Bush team had been as “transparent” as this bunch.

The next question will come from that complete stranger in the second row."
President Obama called on three complete strangers at his healthcare town hall forum get-together and ice cream social, three random Americans who just happened to be in the neighborhood.
As the Washington Post reports, “The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence.”
Yup. A whole roomful of people showed up and our Fearless Leader coincidentally calls on three who just happen to be members of organizations that back his healthcare legistlation.
That’s not a coincidence, it’s a friggin’ miracle. What are the odds? No wonder this guy wanted to speak at Harry Reid’s fundraiser in Las Vegas. Let it ride, baby. When you’re hot, you’re hot. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.
Either that or the whole damn thing was as pre-planned as a White House press conference.
Make your own decision.

Perhaps the researchers be happier if kids movies had a little inter-species lesbian sex
Hold onto your hats. You’re not going to believe this one.
A University of Michigan study says love stories told in G-rated children’s films (such as Disney’s Little Mermaid) are responsible for what they label “heteronormativity.”
Real world translation: Not enough gay sex.
“Despite the assumption that children’s media are free of sexual content, our analyses suggest that these media depict a rich and pervasive heterosexual landscape,” said a report in Gender & Society, a publication of the Sociologists for Women in Society.
Researchers looked at the most successful G-rated movies between 1990-2005 and concluded that kids’ films “construct heterosexuality” via “depictions of hetero-romantic love as exceptional, powerful, transformative, and magical,” and “depictions of interactions between gendered bodies in which the sexiness of feminine characters is subjected to the gaze of masculine characters.”
“Characters in love are surrounded by music, flowers, candles, magic, fire, balloons, fancy dresses, dim lights, dancing and elaborate dinners,” the report noted. “Fireflies, butterflies, sunsets, wind and the beauty and power of nature often provide the setting for – and a link to the naturalness of – hetero-romantic love.”
We say, bravo, you brave researchers. That’s what’s wrong with America’s kids. They need more gay sex in their cartoons! More group sex! More bestiality!
And for god’s sake, man, somebody put some pants on that perverted Donald Duck.

Yeah, that's how we all feel when Biden speaks
President Obama may need to appoint a Biden Speech Czar just to keep an eye on the vexing Vice President.
Biden was appearing at a town hall meeting in the lovely city of Perrysburg, Ohio. The subject was “the middle class and manufacturing” but the veep veered off into unexplored and unexplained territory.
He blithely informed told the assembled crowd that “the Buick LeSabre is made in Ontario, Canada,” and that “the UAW worker in Canada makes the same wage as the UAW worker in the U.S.”
He was trying to make the point that the Canadian-made LeSebre cost 14% less to build because of that country’s socialist healthcare system.
But as we’ve all learned, Biden just makes crap up as he goes along.
In reality, they haven’t built the LeSabre since 2005. It was actually manufactured in the United States, not Canada. And to complete the Biden trifecta, Canadian Auto Workers split from the UAW and became an independent union way back in 1985.
Overall, it was a fine speech. Other than the everything-he-said-was-wrong part.

Don’t ask us to explain this video.
As far as we can tell, some guy named Raffle van Exel grabbed Jesse Jackson as he was walking through an airport and asked him to offer up an inspirational message for Michael Jackson’s fans.
Reverend Jackson, of course, has never met a microphone he didn’t like, so he started jabbering away.
We just have three questions about the Reverend’s comments:
Question #1: What’s this “dignity” he attributes to Michael Jackson? The guy’s date at the Grammy Awards was a chimpanzee named Bubbles.
Question #2: When did “decency” become an acronym for child molester?
Question #3: Is it our imagination or is Jesse’s speech pattern starting to sound like he’s reading Dr. Seuss?

We hope Congressman Waxman feels a lot better than he looks
What Rep. Henry Waxman lacks in good looks, he makes up for in brains.
The powerful chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee felt a little ill on Tuesday, checked himself into an expensive private hospital and received treatment before ObamaCare makes that scenario impossible for ordinary citizens.
Waxman, who plays an important role in President Obama’s proposed health care legislation, checked himself into Los Angeles’ exclusive Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for what a spokesman called “routine testing.” Waxman is “feeling much better now.”
What’s gone unstated by the biased liberal media is that when ObamaCare becomes the law of the land, only the rich and powerful like Waxman will be able to get immediate medical care.
For the rest of us, checking into exclusive medical facilities for “routine testing” will be impossible. We’ll be reduced to drawing numbers and waiting in line as if we’re trying to buy a glazed twist at a neighborhood donut shop.
That’s probably a bad analogy, because the liberal food police will eventually outlaw donuts, too. But we suspect that Henry Waxman will still be able to get his French cruller with white icing and sprinkles.
Note: You need to also read previous article, Henry Waxman hospitalized, global warming to blame?
