Author: Bonfire of the Absurdities

Obama Biographer: “The world seems to disappoint him.” Well, it’s only fitting that Putts punish us by getting lost and never being heard from again.

Oregon State fires Obama’s brother-in-law as basketball coach. “Robinson, who is the brother-in-law of President Barack Obama, went 94-105 in six seasons with the Beavers, failing to make the NCAA Tournament.” And his record is a whole lot better than his brother-in-law’s, who wasn’t fired in 2012. Go figure.

Attkisson: There’s a “well-orchestrated strategy to controversialize” Benghazi. “The key words they use, such as ‘conspiracy’ and ‘delusional,’ are in my opinion clearly designed to try to controversialize a story — a legitimate news story and a legitimate area of journalistic inquiry.” Sounds like a clear case of the pot calling the kettle conspiratorial and delusional.

Eleven terrorists with links to Al Qaeda have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the disappearance of MH370. Like Chicago voters, the “dead” Al Qaeda keeps on popping up…

Putin’s plan to reclaim the old Russian empire. “What’s often misunderstood about Putin is that, while he pines for the vanished image of Soviet power, he knows that Communism didn’t work. Nor does he expect to re-establish the Soviet Union’s domination over Europe’s eastern half (as much as he’d welcome it). Putin has become a Great-Russian nationalist, a bigoted throwback to the days before the Bolsheviks arrived. His intent is to regain all the lands that once belonged to the czars.” Putin’s playing chess, Obama’s just playing.

The Fat Lady. Foreign leaders have stopped listening to Obama and the Republicans are starting to sniff blood in the water. Is the fat lady warming up for a song? La la la la la la la….

Seizing Control: A better way to cover the White House. “Five ways to shift leverage from the government to the press and public.” Gee, if only someone had thought of this six years ago…

Harry Reid on Benghazi Committee: something something Koch Brothers something. Mumbles threw in this gem: “Senate Democrats will remain focused on fostering economic growth for all hard-working Americans.” Their “focus” drove almost 1 million people out of the labor force last month. Great job.

Former Obama NSC spokesman on Benghazi: “Dude, this was like, two years ago.” Dude, Watergate was older when Nixon resigned – and nobody died there.

DEMOCRAT Illinois governor up for re-election facing criminal probe. Must be something in the water there… something like untraceable cash in paper bags.

Are pilotless drone command & control systems the “treasure” in the strange disappearance of MH370? According to this report, the systems were hijacked by the Taliban and sold to the Chinese. But on its way to China via Malaysian Airlines, the cargo was recovered by American and Israeli commandos who hijacked the plane it was on… MH370. Interesting.

3D printer builds 10 small houses a day for $5,000 each. Yeah, it doesn’t look like much, but neither did the first automobiles.

EPA delayed Climate Change regulation until after Midterms. “…allowing vulnerable Senate Democrats to avoid a vote on the measure six weeks before voters go to the polls.” As Ketchup face says, Climate Change is the most critical issue there is – next to saving the political asses of Democrat senate hacks.

White House: Hey, those explosive Benghazi emails weren’t even about Benghazi! “Karl asks Carney why the specific Ben Rhodes email was not released to Congress, why it took a court case to pry it out of administration’s hands. Carney’s answer: ‘This document was not about Benghazi.'” Sure, it was about Ben Gazi. Or maybe it was about Ben, Gazi. Would you believe Bengal Tigers?

Newly-released WH email shows Rice talking points on Benghazi politically motivated. “If this isn’t a smoking gun on Benghazi, at least on the controversy over the talking points that blamed a YouTube video rather than the terrorists who plotted and then conducted the attack, then it’s not clear what would qualify.” With today’s sh*t-stream media, nothing would qualify. More here.

One-time Dem gubernatorial frontrunner, “proud” of ObamaCare, now sits at 7% support. Gaffe.

Driver that struck teen suing dead boy’s family. “…the driver of the SUV… is suing the dead boy for the emotional trauma she says she has suffered. She’s also suing the two other boys, as well as the dead boy’s parents, and even his brother, who has since died. She’s also suing the County of Simcoe for failing to maintain the road.” For some reason the words “signs of the Apocalypse” come to mind…

Top climate expert’s sensational claim of government meddling in crucial UN report. “He was one of only two scientists present, surrounded by ‘45 or 50’ government officials. He said almost all of them made clear that ‘any text that was considered inconsistent with their interests and positions in multilateral negotiations was treated as unacceptable.’” How the settled politicized science gets settled.

Oligarchy in the Twenty-First Century. “The inequality of income our bipartisan ruling class sanctimoniously condemns is the very tool it uses to shore up the inequalities of power and communication from which it benefits.” The real party of the rich babbles about “income inequality” while doing all they can to further it (especially for themselves) and nobody seems to notice. If we’re doomed, it’s because we deserve to be so – we’re too stupid to survive.

California: Hey, why aren’t we using cap-and-trade taxes to finance this high-speed rail boondoggle? “They have been cut off by the federal government…they have raised no money from private investors, and no local government has even put up a dime.” Maybe if the train is forced to pay cap-and-trade taxes, it can be self-financing.

With Ukraine in turmoil, Hagel can’t get Russian counterpart to take his calls. Must be using his answering machine to screen out nuisance calls….

Pentagon: Russian spy ship, tug operating near U.S. “…officials suspect the ships were part of a spying operation since March against the U.S. nuclear missile submarine base at Kings Bay, Ga. and other U.S. military facilities.” Not only is Putin on the wrong side of history, he’s on the wrong side of the ocean as well.

#Unseriousness: While Putin plans for a real war in Ukraine, Obama’s people are focused like lasers on winning the only war that matters, the Facebook/Twitter War. ObamaCare should’ve taught them… it’s better to do nothing than to do something stupid. But it didn’t.

Ill. Gov. Quinn’s campaign wonders: Black Republicans like Jewish Nazis? “…campaign tweeted—and then quietly deleted—several messages urging backers to read an article comparing black Republican voters to Jews who collaborated with the Nazis.” Playing the race card and screaming “nazi!” – this guy’s record must really, really suck.

Japanese MP who was angry that Michelle didn’t join president on Tokyo trip makes extraordinary claim that Obama CHEATS and their looming divorce is “an open secret”. “The president has been criticized for having no visions or leadership to solve domestic and diplomatic problems, some even ridiculing him as the worst president of the postwar era.” If the “war” in question is the American Revolution, we’ll go along with that.
