Michelle Obama refers to herself as a “busy single mother”. It might be a Freudian slip but we don’t think Freud wore slips. [Video at the link.]

So where’s the warming? “I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the ‘settled science’ of the government-funded doom-sayers.” Well, the explanation for this apparent anomaly is… SHUT UP!

Did Obama tell a Democratic audience that a “fully automatic weapon” was used at Newtown? According to the transcript, he suggested as much: “…make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon — by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.” If Obama had a son, he’d look just like Pinocchio.

Bank of Japan to pump $1.4 trillion into economy in unprecedented stimulus. Targeting 2% inflation – of course, now other countries will now have to inflate [devalue their currency] in order for their exports to remain competitely priced. Q: Imagine a street intersection with 4 gas stations, one on each corner. If a price war breaks out, which station owner will “win”? A: The stupidest owner with the most money to lose.

ObamaCare’s incompetence could lead to its failure says… Time’s Joe Klein. “Sooner or later, the Republican party may come to understand that its best argument isn’t about tearing down the government we have, but making it run more efficiently.” The problem is some things are just junk and can’t be made to run efficiently, or even run at all for that matter: New Coke, Ishtar, the Hindenberg… ObamaCare.

Leno: AP replaces “illegal immigrant” with “undocumented Democrat”. Jay Leno is the closest thing to reality at NBC – no wonder they want to get rid of him. [Video at the link.]

Slobbering Interviewer to Michelle Obama: ‘How does it feel to have a husband who is a sex symbol?’ Scientist in chief, golf, basketball and bowling star, economist par excellence, champion waffle eater and now a sex symbol! Is there anything the media won’t pretend this man can’t do?

France’s former tax tsar admits having undeclared Swiss bank account. “The scandal has plunged the government into crisis. Seen as a pillar of the cabinet before his resignation, Mr Cahuzac, 60, was responsible for making drastic government spending cuts and leading the fight against tax evasion.” Sounds like he was leading that fight from behind, eh?

Stockton, CA becomes most populous U.S. city to file for bankruptcy, setting up pension fight. “And, here’s where we run into an issue that will reverberate around the country. What wins out? Federal bankruptcy law, which ostensibly allows for the tearing up of contracts (even pension promises) or state and local laws, which protect pension promises?” Not the USA but the USB – United States of Bankruptcy.

Death knell for global warming hysteria, Al Gore full of sh*t. “Throughout human history we have witnessed swings in temperature. Glaciers have come and gone. They will probably come again and human beings will still die from climate changes. That’s a fact. One day, the earth will cease to exist as well. And it does not matter a damn whether or not the whole world is driving water mobiles or a Prius.” What about a Fisker? Oh wait, they’re bankrupt.

Bernanke breaks down: “This whole thing is a kleptocracy”. “Paul Krugman and I put on witch doctor masks and we dance around a campfire waving dead chickens and chanting nonsense. That’s Keynesianism.” Those are masks? Too bad it’s April 1st or it could be a change we would believe in.

Teen mob action takes over Chicago’s Gold Coast. “You had a group of teens, close to maybe 500. They assaulted a Chicago police officer that was mounted on a horse and all of a sudden they assaulted a citizen walking the streets, just a normal citizen shopping and enjoying the weather.” End stage progressive utopia.

WaPo executives make millions while paper cuts staff, benefits. “The publisher of the struggling Washington Post made over $2.4 million last year, and at least three other executives made over $3 million…” But like the Hollyweirdos, they’re lefty Democrats so shut up.

In UK, nearly 900,000 leave disability rolls rather than face needs test. “The 878,300 who decided not to have an official assessment of whether they were fit for work was more than a third of the total number of people claiming sickness-related benefits. …some claimants cited conditions such as ‘blisters’, ‘sprains and strains’ and ‘acne’ as preventing them from having a job.” Miracle cure!

Countdown to chaos: Can the Feds get their Obamacare act together in time? “We are 149 days away from the October 1 deadline for state insurance exchanges to be up and running so that citizens can purchase plans and find out how much of a subsidy they are eligible for. The IT requirements to connect everything, have all the interfaces in place, not to mention securing the system from hackers looking to steal your personal information, are incredibly complex.” And remember that the contract to build them will go to the lowest bidder – or more likely, some pol’s crony.

North Korea threats predictable but Kim Jong Un is not, analysts say. “Kim Jong Un may need to consolidate his political power at home. A strong response by the U.S. or South Korea, such as this week’s B-2 bomber flyover, helps rally domestic support and distract from economic problems.” Yeah, a good war always makes people forget they’re eating cardboard. Did we say “eating”?

Turin Shroud “is not a medieval forgery”. “The Turin Shroud is not a medieval forgery, as has long been claimed, but could in fact date from the time of Christ’s death, a new book claims.” Centuries-old mystery continues to be mysterious.

NPR laments “confusion” campaign to teach two sides on climate change. Yeah, ’cause that’s how science is s’posed to work: once the politicians, journ0lists and celebrities vote on the truth, it’s settled and everybody shut up.

Egyptian Cleric: U.S. aid to Egypt constitutes Jizya Tax. “Jizya tax is the extra tax imposed on non-Muslims who live under Muslim rule according to the Qur’an and hadith.” How about we sequester this money, bozos?

Obamacare gets Juicy: Obama hipsters learn health care law comes at a heavy cost. Hip, trendy, high-end NYC retailer Juicy Couture downsizes 128 FT employees to 19 as result of Obamacare costs. Hip, trendy young Obama voters discover: 1. The law of unintended consequences 2. Elections do matter 3. There’s no free lunch. Juicy!

And the least free state in America, is… New Yawk, of course, with California hot on its heels. The bottom 5 are all blue states while 4 out of the top 5 freest states are red. Check out the interactive map to see where your state falls.

Two Redfords in one. “Actor-director Robert Redford used his opening address at the Sundance film festival last night to add to the pressure on Hollywood to rein in its depiction of gun violence in the wake of the Newtown school massacre.” “Redford’s next film, due out in American theaters early next month, is a homage to Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground.” Well, like another Hollywood brain might say, it’s violence but it’s not violence-violence.

Squatters, looters overrun Sandy-Ravaged Staten Island. In other news, imperious, self-righteous mayor ignores problems he was elected to manage in order to devote his time to stuff that’s none of his effing business.

I want a “leave me alone” society. “…one where Christian schools can turn people away for rejecting their doctrine, just as gay rights groups can reject those who don’t share their beliefs. …’consensus’ is usually a fancy word for muting minority viewpoints. I want us all to be free to be annoyed with each other from our separate corners.” Throw in drinking as big a soda as we want, owning guns, not buying health insurance, etc, etc… subvert the entire leftist, nannyist, technocratic, statist dominant paradigm.

Unwilling to work; 25% in Hale County AL collect disability, 14 million nationwide. “Hale county’s Dr. Timberlake asks a simple question to all his patients. ‘What grade did you finish?’ If you claim ‘back pain’ and do not have a degree, Timberlake believes you are disabled.” Disability is the new welfare. What’s more, it saves the states money as welfare was paid by the states whereas disability is federal money. Stimulus.
