Top doctor’s chilling claim: UK’s NHS kills off 130,000 elderly patients every year. “NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed yesterday.” Ummm, they don’t by any chance make crackers out of… never mind.

White House Insider: Obama owns Fast and Furious now. “Received in-house word regarding ‘scrambling’ at the White House. Something has them very spooked. The Grassley message had to have shook them up… White House must be aware Issa and Co. might have something that could inflict a hell of a lot of damage.” Obama’s presidency may be about to collapse, fast and furiously.

Nigel Farage: “Barroso is a delusional idiot, the whole thing’s a giant Ponzi scheme!” Nigel Farage refutes EU commission president Barroso’s assertion that U.S. banks are responsible for Europe’s problems.

16 Reasons To Move Away From California. Well, number 1, “California Is Run By Elitist Control Freaks That Have No Common Sense At All” is pretty much the cause of the other 15…

3 Fallacies in Obama’s Public-Sector Stimulus Strategy. Paying people to do busy work won’t revive the U.S. economy. “Every (unsubsidized) job in the private sector exists because it generates more in wealth or value than it consumes in resources—and hence grows the economic pie. That’s not the case with the public sector.” Why Marxist economics fails – too many pie-eaters, too few pie-makers.

Another Obama green-tech stimulus company foundering. “Battery maker A123 got more than $250 million in taxpayer subsidies from Barack Obama’s green-tech stimulus” but “the company’s latest SEC filings admit ‘substantial doubt'” about its future. Winning the Future by losing our shirts. It wasn’t that long ago Ofailure was bragging about A123.

Man with 100-pound scrotum rejects offers to perform $1 million corrective surgery for free because his giant organ has made him famous. Six months ago, he wanted it fixed. But since he became a minor celebrity because of it, he seems to have changed his mind. Still… ouch.

UN official: Western nations “don’t need more cars, more TV, whatever.” The UN party clowns are gearing up for another “environmental conference” (i.e. vacation at taxpayer expense.) What we really don’t need is any more UN boondoggles. What we really do need is to move UN HQ to Havana or Pyongyang.

Bedford County (VA) dead dog receives voter registration forms. The community organizers must be running out of dead people and cartoon mice to register. How odd that this occurred in a swing state.

EU commission president Barroso blames eurozone crisis on US banks. One thing super-smart expert technocrats seem to have in common the world over: they all blame someone else for their problems. Hey Jose, which US bank designed the Monopoly Money known as the “euro” and let Greece into your clown club? More here. If the Eurozone fails, it’s because it deserves to.

Niall Ferguson: If young Americans knew what was good for them, they would all be in the Tea Party. “Governments should be more honest about the size of their debts and young voters would be wise to get politicians to pay them off as soon as possible…” Well, if the publik skools taught kids math instead of the Gospel according to Gore, maybe they’d be able to figure this kind of stuff out.

Obama memoir full of hyperbole and fibs? “Barack Obama’s most recent biographer David Maraniss has discovered that Obama’s memoir was less a reliable historical account — and more of a carefully crafted didactic narrative intended to score political points.” We always suspected Obama was full of something – “hyperbole and fibs” is just the polite way of saying it.

Socialists win absolute majority in France. The media was focused on the Greek sideshow but the more important election was in France. Socialist President Hollande now has free rein to do whatever he wants. Is that gonna leave a mark? Probably: “Mrs Merkel warned the policies of the new Socialist president could destroy the eurozone by bringing the sovereign debt crisis to France itself.” Just call them the PFIIGS.

The Coming of the Next American Republic. James DeLong‘s book, “Ending ‘Big SIS’ (The Special Interest State) and Renewing the American Republic” explains how US gov’t has become what the Founders wished to avoid: “a Special Interest State.” The various interest groups know exactly how to manipulate the system (and us) and the useless media has been an able and willing ally. The result is “almost everyone who actually does something productive is on the menu for those who do nothing but redistribute the wealth.” Sounds familiar, for some reason.

MD man accused of selling bogus energy credits. “A Maryland man faces trial in a $9.1 million fraud case that is shedding light on problems in a renewable energy credits program run by the U.S. EPA.” It’s easy to spot bogus energy credits: genuine ones have a picture of Al Gore’s carbon footprint up your butt. The EPA runs a scan and gets mad ’cause another grifter tries to get in on the action.

“Angry” money gives funding edge to GOP and Romney. The “angry” money was with Obama in 2008, but not now, apparently. Of course, in 2008 it was “righteous anger of the people” and in 2012 it’s “racists angry that a black guy is president.” Soros good, Koch bad. Blah, blah, blah, puke.

Swedish politicians urge: Stop stand-up urination for men! Nanny Bloomberg move over, there’s a bigger bunch of idiots in town: “Vänsterpartiet, known as a socialist and feminist organization, believes seated urination is healthier for men and more hygienic for both sexes.” We bet you guessed they were socialists without having to be told, didn’t you?

You probably missed “global wind day.” It has nothing to do with politicians (with them, every day is global wind day): “It’s a day for environmental activists to push for more funding for wind farms and indoctrinate young children.” Yeah, we missed it but if they never have another one, we sure as hell won’t miss it.

Anna Wintour re-decorated Sarah Jessica Parker’s home before Obama fundraiser. “Sources said the fashion oracle wanted to clean out SJP’s ‘shabby chic’ furniture. One told us, ‘Anna was going crazy about the decorating.'” Going crazy? Musta been a short trip. Seriously, his majesty King Putts cannot be seen plopping his royal butt on “shabby chic”, not even for $40K per butt. More on the gala event here.

Grieving father struggles to pay dead son’s student loans. Some, not all, student loans are erased by the borrower’s death, but they are not cancelled by bankruptcy, giving the lender the right to pursue the borrower (or in this case, the co-signer) to the ends of the earth for the money. Yeah, one shouldn’t borrow more than one can repay but bankrupcy is the legal means for dealing with those mistakes. Why are student loans immune?

Is Perestroika Coming In California? “When Jerry Brown was elected governor for a third time in 2010, there was widespread hope that he would repair the state’s crumbling and dysfunctional political edifice. But instead of becoming a Californian Mikhail Gorbachev, he has turned out to be something more resembling Konstantin Chernenko or Yuri Andropov, an aged hegemon desperately trying to save a dying system.” Interesting analogy – note that after Gorbachev and Yeltsin came Putin.

Biden praises Arab Spring on same day Egypt dissolves its Parliament. “Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at a high school commencement ceremony in Virginia on Thursday, called the Arab Spring a ‘democratic movement’, on the same day that the Egyptian high court nullified the Islamist majority parliament and the Egyptian military assumed control of the legislature.” Obama chose this dope for his foreign policy “smarts”, kinda like choosing Wiley Coyote for his explosives expertise. That “boom” you hear is smart power detonating in someone’s face.

Military drone mistaken for “UFO” along DC highways. “People in the D.C. area are buzzing after pictures began popping up online showing what many believed to be a ‘UFO’ in transport along the Capitol Beltway…An official at Northrop Grumman confirmed … that the craft was actually an X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System.” Heck, we were hoping it really *was* aliens here to pick up their pal Baracko for the trip back to his home planet of Marxpoo.

Romney “Doing Fine?” ad turns tables on 2008 Obama ad. Compare and contrast. Obama hoisted by his own petard. And maybe hoisted with his own canard, as well.
