ABC News: Fisker auto company gets U.S. Loan, builds cars in Finland. Their fiskin’ good excuse? “There was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle,” the car company’s founder and namesake told ABC News. Why didn’t you get your money from the Finnish taxpayers then? Oh yeah, Finland doesn’t have a doofus like Barack Obama as president to flush taxpayer money down the toilet. Never mind.

Economics prof pushing ballot measure to end collective bargaining for CA public unions. Prof. Lanny Ebenstein doesn’t believe unions should be able to negotiate with bosses they’ve likely campaigned to elect. Well, FDR was opposed to it, too. Obama is definitely no FDR.

DC Protest orgainizer notices Obama’s high-dollar fundraisers put him “out of touch with the people and very much in touch with the money elite,” Gee, ya think????

Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds suffered on Thursday as fighters battling to complete an eight-month-old uprising against his rule overran his hometown Sirte, Libya’s interim rulers said. Mother always told us if we can’t say something good about someone, don’t say anything. So here goes nothing.

The Intergenerational Foundation, a left-leaning think-tank that aims to “promote fairness between generations”, says over-60s should be forced out of their homes to make room for younger people. What exactly is “fairness”? We’ve figured it out: if you have something that someone else doesn’t have but wishes to, “fairness” is code for their plan to use the political system to steal it from you.

Rep. Issa: Holder’s Chief of Staff “had intimate details [of FnF]; we have notes in his handwriting that shows that… Eric Holder’s right hand had intimate details for long time.” Sure, Obama knew, Holder’s COS knew, Obama’s dog Bo knew… but Holder didn’t know. Sounds plausible, right? The above quote appears around the 9:00 mark.

Al Gore appears to have faked climate experiment. Al Gore’s recent “24 hrs of Climate Reality” contained a video experiment to prove the “greenhouse effect” of CO2 in our atmosphere. Anthony Watts tried to replicate it and FAILED: “The experiment as presented by Al Gore and Bill Nye ‘the science guy’ is a failure, and not representative of the greenhouse effect related to CO2 in our atmosphere.” In non-politicized science, if the experiment don’t fit, then your theory is sh*t.

Obama for America requests artists volunteer to help push “jobs” bill. Irony meter flashing red: OFA “is seeking poster submissions from artists across the country illustrating why we support President Obama’s plan to create jobs now.” Submissions, as in artists send them artwork and they send artists approximately nothing. Barry, get a clue: hiring artists to make artwork creates jobs (you’d know that if you ever had one.) He didn’t ask George Kaiser to submit a bankrupt green energy company, did he?

OWS protests are providing a “stimulus” for security firms. “One company has gotten dozens of calls since the protests began and expects to increase its revenue at least 40 percent this year..” It’s true, Obama’s regime HAS lifted many industries: survival foods, weapons and ammo and now, personal security firms for the moneyed elite. And he did it without spending one single trillion cents, all he had to do is open his ocean-lowering mouth. If only his rhetoric could be weaponized. Hey, wait a minute…

Obama tells ABC’s Tapper “All the choices we made have been the right ones.” So Bammy, are you saying the lousy results you’ve achieved were exactly what you intended? Because insisting your “choices” were right in the face of their epic failure suggests exactly that unless you’re an incredibly incompetent fool who doesn’t learn from mistakes. Which is it?

Federal employees (average salary exceeds $126,000) and the nation’s greatest concentration of lawyers helped Washington edge out San Jose as the wealthiest U.S. metropolitan area, government data show. “Wall Street has moved to K Street,” said Barbara Lang, president and chief executive officer of the DC Chamber of Commerce, referring to the Washington street that’s home to prominent lobbying firms. “Those two industries clearly have grown in our city.” Confirms our suspicion the “occupiers” are crapping in the wrong streets.

Get your picture taken with the FLOTUS… only $10,000. One of the comments asked, “Do you get a (slang for fellation) too?”, to which someone replied “Would you really want one from her?” Our solution would be to save time and embarrassment by skipping the picture and just throwing the money directly down the toilet.

Obama campaign ties Mitt Romney to Wall Street and corporate greed. The 2012 Obama reelect strategy is clear: get the MSM to anoint Romney as the “inevitable” GOP nominee, have the MSM sell OWS as a broad-based grass-roots movement, publicly identify himself with the OWS defecators’ anti-Wall St. populist rage and then capitalize on the manufactured anger by tying Romney to Wall St. via his hedge-fund roots. Well, Obama did say he was going to be the most transparent president ever.

Windmills to shut at night following demise of rare bat. Somebody made toothpicks out of Babe Ruth’s bat? No, they’re shutting down an entire wind farm during the nighttime hours because an endangered species of bat was found under one of the windmills. Nobody knows for sure the windmill killed it, but “innocent until proven guilty” is for terrorists, not windmills. And what about the folks who used the electric power the farm generated? They’re going batty.

Obama has voiced support for OWS at every opportunity, but nixed a chance to meet the activists in person during his Southern non-campaign bus trip. The OWS folks’ reaction to this was to chant “Hey Obama, I’m no fool, I know you’re a corporate tool.” But to be fair, Obama’s bus is well-appointed and likely fit for one of the Saudi kings he likes to bow to. Would you let people who poop in the streets on a chariot like that?

Obama’s Big Green Mess. Revelations of waste, fraud and abuse in the Obama Administration’s “green” agenda as reported by NEWSWEEK! So, we’re not all socialists anymore? A liberal Democrat losing Newsweek is kinda like a Politburo member losing Pravda.

Elizabeth Warren: “I’m going for the hick vote.” “’I’m a new category, an elite hick,’ said Warren, on the ‘Left Ahead’ podcast. ‘I don’t even know what to say about that one,’ she said, laughing.” We know what to say about it but the editor won’t let us do so in print. BTW, did she say “hick” or “hack”?

So, Obama walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. Bartender says, “Does he talk?” Parrot says, “Not without a teleprompter.” “President Obama had beers the other day with four unemployd construction workers. Obama asked what it’s like to lose their jobs. And they said ‘Oh you’ll see.'” Thanks everybody, he’ll be here each nite until at least January 2013 (unless we get really lucky.)

Wall St. Insider: Obama admin told by unions to lend support to OWS protests. “Unions are holding a gun to the head of America’s free market system and they appear increasingly willing to pull the trigger. These protests are an extension of that willingness.” Well, the Obama administration is in bed with the unions, the GM bankruptcy is proof of that. The goal appears to be violence, destabilization of the system and the end of capitalism.

OWS leaders now sporting bizarre neo-swastika. The orange tic-tac-toe thing on the “community organizer’s” right sleeve is supposedly just a Twitter hashtag, but remember the Nazi swastika originally was a good luck charm from ancient India before morphing into the universal symbol of fascism. And next, a Starbucks putsch? BTW, who does she remind you of? David Bowie maybe?

Journolist 2.0: Occupy Wall Street emails show MSM, Dylan Ratigan, working with protesters to craft “message”. The medium is the message now that the MSM believes the freakshow can be manipulated to the advantage of the political class. Bonus comment from the Instapundit blog: “This is what astroturf looks like.”

The Hill poll found that only one in three likely voters blames Wall Street for the country’s financial troubles, whereas more than half — 56 percent — blame Washington. Occupy Washington DC? It might be difficult – it’s only the politicians’ heads that are empty, their fat butts are still there. Except for Obama’s, he’s likely on vacation or something.

Occupy Hollywood! Take a long look at the robber barons you are NEVER instructed to hate. “If you hate rich people, harbor a conviction they avoid ‘paying their fair share’ through shady accounting tricks, and deeply resent the way your wallet is being emptied through price gouging, then it’s time for you to Occupy Hollywood. Bonus: it’s lovely this time of year.”

The #OWS movement, in a nutshell (and the use of the word “nutshell” was purely intentional.) Yeah, we gotta spend more money to “educate” this nitwit so he can make a better sign demanding more money to “educate” this nitwit…

Nazi and Communist Parties throw their support behind #OWS. Obama, the MSM, Hollyweird, the Nazis and the Commies… together at last! Hey, didn’t the MSM tell us the Tea Partiers were actually the Nazis? Ooops, caught them lying thru their teeth again. The ANP (American Nazi Party) endorsement is linked here. The CPUSA (Communist Party US) endorsement is linked here. Enjoy!
