Dirty Harry’s clean energy cronyism. “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has been working to secure sweetheart deals for Chinese green energy firms, according to reports. Reid…has been ‘pulling strings behind the scenes’ for months on behalf of ENN Mojave Energy, a Nevada subsidiary of the Chinese-owned ENN Group.” Show us your tax return, loudmouth.

Photo of President Obama removed just days after book exposes agenda to eliminate suburbs
Photo of President Obama removed just days after book exposes agenda to eliminate suburbs. “A photo of President Obama was suddenly pulled from the website of the group Building One America, whose goals were documented extensively in Stanley Kurtz’s book ‘Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities.'” Kruglik, the head of Building One America, is the same guy who hired Obama as a community organizer, another radical association the MSM lapdogs couldn’t be bothered to find.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz: I don’t know if Priorities USA is made up of Democrats
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz: I don’t know if priorities USA is made up of Democrats. Talking about Priorities USA Super-PAC, the folks who brought you “Politicians Who Are Not Obama Cause Cancer.” Pssst, Debbie… not only are they Democrats, but we hear you are one too! But don’t tell anyone, the Party would rather people didn’t realize that.
The colossal disappointment/gregarious drunk ticket vs. the Adult/Adult ticket
The colossal disappointment/gregarious drunk ticket vs. the Adult/Adult ticket. A former Democrat kinda likes the Ryan pick: “His [Ryan’s] coolness under fire may evoke real hope. Hope based on solutions, not emotionalism and denial. The hope will be akin to the moment …an alcoholic walks into a gregarious AA meeting and realizes its neither a cult or a church.” Awesome.
Hermosa Beach (CA) meter maids making nearly $100K?
Hermosa Beach (CA) meter maids making nearly $100K? We gotta think bullet train conductors will pull down at least $500K, more if CA actually builds the bullet train. Hey, it’s only taxpayer money – there’s more what that came from!
Superpower denied? Why China’s “rise” may have already peaked
Superpower denied? Why China’s “rise” may have already peaked. “How a toxic mix of economic, demographic, environmental, political, and international challenges could end China’s ascent.” Well, don’t tell the China fanboys like Tom Friedman, they think the Chinese crony-capitalist model is just Peking-ducky.
Janet Napolitano-run Homeland Security treated male staffers like lapdogs, federal discrimination lawsuit charges
Janet Napolitano-run DHS treated male staffers like lapdogs, federal discrimination lawsuit charges. “A blistering federal discrimination suit accuses agency honcho Janet Napolitano of turning the department into a female-run ‘frat house’ where male staffers were banished to the bathrooms and routinely humiliated.” It’s OK, they’re Democrats. Nothing to see here.
For unpaid college loans, Feds dock Social Security benefits
For unpaid college loans, Feds dock Social Security benefits. “Many of these retirees aren’t even in hock for their own educations.” Student loan debt is like a zombie, it never dies. Our advice: nix cosigning loans for little Johnny to get a degree in Transgender Marxist Dance Studies unless your name is Buffet.
Could Obama balance the budget by getting the wealthy to pay their “Fair Share”?
Could Obama balance the budget by getting the wealthy to pay their “Fair Share”? The short answer is “no.” But the self-interested pols pretend this is the case because “…most of our politicians just want to keep the party rolling as long as humanly possible so that they can keep getting voted back into office. And that goes 3.2 trillion for Barack Liar Obama.
Obama: Let’s repeat the “Auto industry bailout success” with every industry
Obama: Let’s repeat the “Auto industry bailout success” with every industry. Better we repeat the 2010 election with every Democrat, especially the top dog-eater.
Complete absurdity in Greece: ECB prints Euros to give to Greece to make interest payments to ECB
Complete absurdity in Greece: ECB prints Euros to give to Greece to make interest payments to ECB. “At the moment, a Greek default is being fought off from week to week — and politicians are trying to duck responsibility.” Euro-zombie!
Pelosi “swears” spirit of Susan B. Anthony spoke to her in White House
Pelosi “swears” spirit of Susan B. Anthony spoke to her in White House. She and Harry are both hearing things now, must be contagious. Or maybe it was just the spirit Jackie Daniels talking. Seriously, we believe you Nancy, just like we believe the spirit also told you to STFU.
Obama complains that Michelle doesn’t make money as First Lady
Obama complains that Michelle doesn’t make money as First Lady. Get out the electron microscope, we’re going to play our nano-violin. Seriously, we’d suggest you both quit in protest; we can’t actually start missing you until you’re gone. Squirrels.

Bernanke says student loans won’t cause crisis
Bernanke says student loans won’t cause crisis. As numerous commenters noted, this is the same bozo who said housing was not in a bubble shortly before that non-bubble burst. Fasten your seatbelts, we’re in for a bumpy ride.
Montana Dem governor Schweitzer doesn’t think much of his constituents
Montana Dem governor Schweitzer doesn’t think much of his constituents. The guv went to Ohio and made a speech during which he called the people who elected him racists and rednecks. Well, he merely came out and said what the whole Party thinks: “You make us sick!” Right back at ya, slick.
CNN: outrageous claim in pro-Obama Super-PAC spot
CNN: outrageous claim in pro-Obama Super-PAC spot. Romney will give us all cancer because he’s running against a failed jackass fraud president. The Obama campaign is so slimy they make the underside of rocks go “yecch!”
Reid has history of making dubious charges
Reid has history of making dubious charges. Played the same game against Sen. Paul Laxalt in 1974. “Any man or woman who will not be completely candid about his or her finances does not deserve to be in public office,” Reid said. So we can expect to see Harry’s tax returns sometime today, right?
DOJ hits Gibson with $300K fine in settlement over exotic wood raids
DOJ hits Gibson with $300K fine in settlement over exotic wood raids. Not much of a penalty. Not much of a case. Not much of a presidency.
Harvey Weinstein on Obama: “The Paul Newman of American Presidents”
Harvey Weinstein on Obama: “The Paul Newman of American Presidents.” Well, Paul’s career is history so if Obama’s joins it come January, we’ll be happy to buy in to that analogy. We’d also note that actors are all about pretend and fantasy, an apt description of the last 4 years if there ever was one.
American government is a deviant subculture
American government is a deviant subculture. “A chief of staff for a Democratic senator once told me that a bill that perfectly reflected Democratic policy was rejected because it was introduced by a moderate Republican.” There’s little wrong with America that a big meteor hitting Washington DC wouldn’t fix.
Emails: Geithner, Treasury drove cutoff of non-union Delphi workers’ pensions
Emails: Geithner, Treasury drove cutoff of non-union Delphi workers’ pensions. “The move, made in 2009 while the Obama administration implemented its auto bailout plan, appears to have been made solely because those retirees were not members of labor unions.” Yep, they’re all about “helping” the middle class… well, maybe the parts of it that are in their pockets, anyway.
Nancy Pelosi: “It is a fact” that somebody told Harry Reid about Romney not paying taxes
Nancy Pelosi: “It is a fact” that somebody told Harry Reid about Romney not paying taxes. Yeah, and it’s also a fact that we’ve read that Harry Reid is a pederast. We can even point to places where we’ve read it. In neither case does the “fact” prove anything about the allegation in question being true. But thanks for chiming in with that useless and misleading “information”, Nancy.
Is sugar toxic?
Is sugar toxic? The Democrat-media complex hard at work to gin up a new public health “crisis” for their buddies in the lawsuit industry to fill the coffers with. Aye matey, thar’s gold in yon citizens’ cupboards!
WH Press Corps goes seven weeks without a question
WH Press Corps goes seven weeks without a question. “The last substantive question Obama took from a White House reporter was during a June 20 press conference following the G20 Summit in Los Cabos, Mexico. Obama allowed only six questions during the event, which was nearly guaranteed to keep him out of political hot water as the focus was on foreign policy.” Well, he’s just trying to limit the questions to stuff he actually knows something about.
Remember the photo of President holding baseball bat while on the phone? It’s caused outrage in Turkey
Last week’s photo of Obama holding baseball bat while on the phone has caused outrage in Turkey. Obama’s bats? Certainly looks that way.
