Author: Bonfire of the Absurdities

China’s Getting Our Oil Because of Obama, Says Canada PM. “…shows there will be major consequences from what the Obama administration clearly believed was a harmless little political game it could play with the Keystone XL permitting.” Yeah, the Democrat-media complex’s current truth is that a president can’t do anything about high gas prices – except cause them, that is.

Priceless – LA radio host decimates Debbie over her choice of LA mayor Villaraigosa as DNC convention chair. “I really find your comments disappointing and borderline offensive,” Wasserman-Schultz told [790 KABC’s Doug] McIntyre. Just her way of saying they’re absolutely true (as well as being pretty funny.)

Dog bites man again: another Obama-supported solar energy company bites the dust. Solar Trust for America received $2.1 billion in conditional loan guarantees from the DOE – “the largest amount ever offered to a solar project,” according to non-car owner Steven Chu – for a project near Blythe, CA, but declared bankruptcy within a year. Maybe we should stop calling it “bankruptcy” and start calling it “solar-ruptcy.” Or better yet, “Obama-ruptcy.”

Rasmussen: Even if it survives the Court, Obamacare is doomed. The pollster says “an approach that increases consumer choice has solid support and a plan that relies on mandates and trusting the government cannot survive” and thus Obamacare will die even if the SCOTUS or the GOP don’t kill it. An encouraging sentiment, but we think Scott is optimistic to assume the government still gives an airborne fornication what the public actually wants. It sure didn’t in 2010.

Obama: “My entire career has been a testimony to American exceptionalism.” Undoubtedly perjured testimony.

French-owned service company Sodexo slaps SEIU with RICO suit. Suit alleges that the SEIU, in an effort to “organize” the company’s employees, employed tactics like “throwing plastic roaches onto food being served by Sodexo USA at a high profile event.” You know, the typical leftist “reality-based” arguments.

Good news: IRS hiring more agents to enforce Obamacare. Overlooked in all the “good” news about Obamacare is that it significantly increases the amount of personal info we’ll need to share with our buddies at the IRS. If the SCOTUS doesn’t kill this POS, just give us the pain pills NOW and let us get it over with.

Van Jones: Obama wouldn’t lose black vote if he came out as gay. So is Obama gay? Of course not (and don’t you dare look in that closet on your way out!)

DNC member promotes ‘Hoodie Rally,’ voter registration on scene. “Ironically, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, is a registered Democrat.” We surmise this means the Party of Hate has decided to write off the “white hispanic” vote as well.

Biden: “We want to create a Global Minimum Tax.” “We want to create (what’s called) a global minimum tax, because American taxpayers shouldn’t be providing a larger subsidy for investing abroad than investing at home.” Yeah, right, foreign manufacturers are gonna agree to penalize themselves to offset the cost of inane regulations that people like Biden impose on ours. This fool couldn’t find his way out of a wet paper bag with a top-of-the-line GPS.

Obama faced tougher decisions than FDR, Biden says. “I’ve watched him make decisions that would make another man or woman’s hair curl,” Biden told the crowd. Oh yeah, we get it – Barry was The One who decided to curl Biden’s and Moochies’ hair. At least he didn’t have to announce a stock market crash on TV.

Engineering Humans: A new solution to Climate Change? Yeah, like inducing intolerance to red meat, making humans smaller to reduce the amount of energy they consume, etc, etc. These same people would likely throw a hissy fit if they had to eat a genetically-modified tomato, but going Frankenstein on the human race is just ducky. Why don’t we just turn people into plants so they would be able to thrive in an environment dominated by pseudo-scientific fertilizer?

L.A. – $7 million worth of taxpayer-funded city fuel “missing.” “The unexplained transactions occurred despite a $12-million fuel tracking system the city put in place more than a decade ago.” Well, they can’t blame the unicorns, they’re all solar-powered.

Obama, the Democrats, and The Society for the Preservation of Racism. “Increasingly, racism – and more generally the division of our country into racial and ethnic interest groups — is all the Democrats have. The rest of liberal/leftist ideology is disintegrating all around them, as fragile and illusory as the welfare state itself.” If they prevail, it will be the mother of all pyrrhic victories.

George Zimmerman’s Father Blasts Obama: “So much hate coming from the president.” It’s nothing personal, Barry’s just trying to distract attention from all the problems Bush caused. As for the others, we note this comment: “Eric Hoffer is reported to have written something to the effect that causes begin as movements, evolve into businesses and end up as rackets.”

TSA manager arrested for running prostitution ring. Well, the airport scanners would’ve been really helpful in sizing up new “employees” for his business. The country’s in the best of hands – (pun intended.)

Sarasota murder: Shawn Tyson found guilty of murdering British tourists. A horrible killing in Florida that somehow escaped the attention of the national press because, well, they just have sooo much on their plate right now. And frankly, local crimes just aren’t that interesting, especially the ones that do nothing to advance the Democrat-Media complex’s narrative or help re-elect Barack Obama. They simply don’t have time to talk about everything, dammit.

The Entitled States of America: We Want More! “I’m here to get a check … whatever they’ve got to offer,” he explains. “It’s not like they’ve got a checklist … I’m just here to get what I can get.” If you’re still working, you’re paying for your own lunch and someone else’s free one. Got a problem with that?

Elderly couple living in fear over erroneous Spike Lee Tweet. Spike Lee thought he was retweeting George Zimmerman’s address but it turned out to be the home of David McClain, 72, and his wife Elaine, 70. Nice going. Do the right thing? Hell no, Spike Lee won’t apologize, has “no comment” on terror Tweet. And where’s our “uniter, not a divider” president on all this? [Sound of crickets chirping.]

LA Times says justices poised to strike down entire healthcare law. “One way or another, Congress will have to revisit it in toto,” said Justice Antonin Scalia. Justice Anthony Kennedy said it would be an “extreme proposition” to allow the various insurance regulations to stand after the mandate was struck down. Is it just us or do those statements suggest they’ve already made up their minds?

A preview of Obama’s 2nd-term agenda? House Dems propose raising taxes by 40%, including on middle class. Like Obamalinsky told the Russians the other day, “After my election, I have more flexibility.” Translation: If you think he sucks now, well, he ain’t sucked nothing yet….

Criminal immigrant with illegally-obtained documents who ignored a federal order to leave the country will get away with almost plowing into a police car while driving drunk. It’s Obama’s uncle and it’s Massachusetts. Need we say more?

Trayvon Martin killer Zimmerman was a registered Democrat and self-identified Hispanic American. Registered as a Democrat in Seminole County, FL, in August 2002, according to state voter registration documents. We only bring this up because the professional and unbiased journ0listic hacks in the national media WON’T. Oh, and to continue beating the dead horse of a narrative those losers tried so hard to sell about this case. BTW, eff you, Karen Finney.

Jeffrey Toobin, lawyer, legal analyst and writer for The New Yorker, calls Obamacare law a “trainwreck for the Obama administration.” A bullet train wreck, we hope! “This law looks like it’s going to be struck down. I’m telling you, all of the predictions, including mine, that the justices would not have a problem with this law were wrong,” Toobin said Tuesday on CNN. “I think this law is in grave, grave trouble.” Sounds like someone had a bad hair day.

Former NAACP leader accuses Sharpton and Jackson of “exploiting” Trayvon Martin. Bryant, who explores the topic of black-on-black crime in his new film “Runaway Slave,” said people like Jackson and Sharpton are being misleading to suggest there is an epidemic of “white men killing black young men.” If only they were the only ones – yeah, we’re lookin’ at YOU, MSM.
