Reuters notices North Korea is poor. “The reality is that life is tough in North Korea in the best of times, however. International sanctions over its nuclear weapons program, a decaying economy and a defective food distribution system have left almost a third of its 24 million people poor and hungry and it has few friends besides its neighbor China.” Just by coincidence they also have a dysfunctional political system and incompetent, self-serving “leaders”, but the terrible conditions are just the result of bad luck.

For the 31st time, Obama White House says ‘Don’t read too much’ into a bad Jobs report. But be sure to read a whole lot into a good one if by some Fed-fabricated miracle we get one before election day. If we dont… Look, a squirrel!

Seriously, How did Harry Reid get so rich? “As a senator and the majority leader in the Senate, Reid pulls down a salary of $193,400 per year. According to the latest data from Opensecrets.org, which is from 2010, Reid has assets totalling $10,360,000.” Maybe like Nancy Pelosi, he accidentally participated in a bunch of wildly profitable stock IPOs.

Obama fundraisers to deny thousands a day at the beach. “The Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, Connecticut will have to turn away thousands of bathers so that Obama can get to and from his events, including a $35,800 per head bash at the 9,000-square-foot, $8.3-million waterfront estate of movie mogul Harvey Wienstein…” Yeah, and Romney is only for the fat-cats… Look, a squirrel!

The American Totalist Party. “An apt description of fascism is that it is one variant of what psychiatrist and historian Robert Lifton called ‘totalism.’ Professor Anna Geifman explains the Totalist political world view: ‘… Its devotees — anarchists, Marxists, or Islamists — want to impose a new order based on an ‘all-or-nothing claim to truth.’ ” “The beating heart of Totalism in all its forms is power and control over others. This has become the raison d’etre of the Democrat party.” When they call us “Nazis”, it’s projection.

Ann Romney slammed for $990 Shirt, Michelle Obama praised for $6,800 jacket. If it weren’t for double standards, the Washington Compost would have no standards at all.

Italy rules ‘no balls’ insult for men is a crime. “Italy’s highest court has ruled that telling a man he has “no balls” as an insult is a crime punishable with a fine because it hurts male pride in a ruling on a curious row between two cousins.” On the other hand, “no brains” is not only not an insult, it means one is qualified to sit on Italy’s highest court.

If you don’t buy health insurance, will you really pay the tax? “Though ObamaCare’s individual mandate imposes a tax on people who do not purchase government-approved health insurance, the law explicitly neuters the IRS’s ability to collect the tax.” According to this article, the IRS has two options – to ask you for the money or to reduce the size of your tax refund. Obamacare has to be one of the worst, most incompetent pieces of legislation ever written.

San Bernardino, California, files Chapter 9 bankruptcy petition. “We are set up for failure.” And another one bites the dust.

It’s a Depression, Not a Recession. “Barack Obama didn’t ‘save’ us from any damn thing.” Well, Barry thinks his plan “worked” but he obviously has no idea what that word means, and that includes all of its eleventy-odd dictionary definitions.

You didn’t lift that! “A North Korean won Olympic gold. But he didn’t lift that: ‘I am very happy and give thanks to our Great Leader for giving me the strength to lift this weight. I believe Kim Jong Il gave me the record and all my achievements. It is all because of him,’ Om said.” Yup, a little tub of lard is the source of every North Korean’s strength just like a gaffe-prone doofus is the source of every American’s smarts. The “joke” sign is lit all over the world.

Rahm Emanuel, Chick-fil-A, and the easy slide into fascism. “Political correctness has transformed into a strange American version of fascism — over a chicken fillet sandwich and an opinion about marriage that even our Democratic president officially held as recently as two months ago.” Well, it ain’t about doing good or equal rights or anything like that, it’s about manipulating people in order to obtain and keep power. In that context, everything they do makes sense.

Series of high level executions paint a picture of GM in turmoil. “The GM stock is at an all-time low. GM is losing market share. When July numbers will be announced this week, GM won’t look so good, industry oracles say. Mass executions always are great to deflect criticism – for a while.” Like his promises, BO’s “accomplishments” have a very limited shelf life. More here.

Federal court: DOJ official may have lied about the New Black Panther Case. “In a little noted decision on July 23, a federal district court judge concluded that internal DOJ documents about the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case ‘contradict Assistant AG [Thomas] Perez’s testimony that political leadership was not involved in’ the decision to dismiss the case.” The Obama DOJ consistently smells of burning trousers.

New book claims Obama canceled Bin Laden “kill” raid 3 times at Jarrett’s urging. In ”Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him,“ Richard Miniter also says Obama was less interested in passing Obamacare than Pelosi. It appears Obama’s “You didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen” remark is a classic case of projection.

What Newsweek’s “wimp” cover SHOULDA looked like. Shucks, they left out Barry’s Randy Johnson impersonation from a couple of years back when he reached home plate on only 2 bounces.

Elizabeth Warren: People think I’m Capitalism’s savior. We call such people “brain dead”, among other things. Seriously, Fauxcahontas is like a pitcher behind 3-0 on the count with the bases loaded, she just keeps laying those fat pitches in there. In almost any state besides Taxachusetts, she’d be down 30 points to Bozo the Clown.

Criticizing Obama’s “you didn’t build that” line is racist! You knew sooner or later the Democrat-media complex would play this dog-eared card.

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) gets standing ovation for speech on over-regulation. He said publicly what many of us say privately every day.

Boston Mayor Menino was at ribbon cutting for city-subsidized mosque that teaches “death to gays.” Well, it doesn’t sound like they are opposed to gay marriage so Menino has no reason to “keep them out,” we surmise.

Boston mayor Menino says he can’t actively block Chick-fil-A. ” I’m the mayor of Boston and I get elected to make my opinions known.” Really? Once upon a time, mayors were elected to run city governments, not to pass gas. Look at the record… Nanny Bloomberg, Rahm and this clown’s cities are going to hell while they are busy making their opinions known instead of doing their alleged jobs.

Top Immigration officials describe border chaos resulting from Admin’s Amnesty policy. You didn’t build this mess… Obama did it!

You didn’t build that… Obama helped! Gee, we hope he doesn’t lose patience with us for posting this.

New NBC/WSJ poll shows Obama +6… using a D+11 sample. “This poll has nothing to do with reporting the state of the race, it has everything to do with convincing the left that president Obama is not in the trouble he is in.” Well, that’s basically all the MSM is good for these days.

Obama has no patience for “you didn’t build that” attacks. “I have to tell you, I generally have patience with what the other side says about me, that’s a requirement of this job,” Obama said during a $5,000-per-plate fundraiser… “The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I’m criticizing is success… I want to promote success,” Obama said. Yep, the mooch-in-chief who’s never had a real job in his life is just the guy to promote success.
