Muslim-led Interfaith meeting – Gone Wild! Kind of reminds us of the old Rodney Dangerfield joke about going to a fight and having an interfaith outreach meeting break out.

NYC paying disgraced teacher $100K per year for doing nothing. Removed from teaching duties in 2001 for lewd behavior, the city can’t fire him (not enough evidence), they don’t want him teaching and he won’t retire, so he does nothing and gets paid for it, while adding to his pension windfall to boot. Spends his “work” time managing his $10 million real estate portfolio. It’s for the children!

Obama campaign rolls out “square mobile fundraising platform.” Just Politico’s Orwellian way of saying every campaign worker is going to have a credit card reader. They’ll be ready whenever the spirit moves someone to join the borg. Or in case a bunch of credit cards fall off of one of Warren Buffett’s trucks or something.

Would you buy a used car from this man? Obama’s old car for sale on eBay for *cough* $1,000,000 *hack*. Sure pal, what do we look like to you, a Democrack member of congress or something? A 5000% markup on a 7-yr old car does sound like a fitting metaphor for the Obama years. Oddly enough, the article says there are no bids so far. Strange.

Obama’s requirement that Catholic organizations provide abortion, sterilization and contraception coverage for its employees and hospitals provide those services as part of their operations is meeting with strong opposition throughout the country. Obamacare stirs up another hornet’s nest, not to mention maybe more court challenges. The bitter clingers fight back!

Emails show AG Holder was informed of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder the day it happened. Holder’s chief of staff at the time was also told the guns that killed Terry were from Fast and Furious, but no one can confirm of deny that the AG himself was informed. Gee, most competent AGs would be curious about something like this, wouldn’t they? Well, we are talking about Holder here.

Alleged comedian unhappy over Brewer-Obama tarmac incident, says a certain level of respect should be given to the office of the presidency. Yeah, the Hollywoodenheads were all over this when Bushitler was being portrayed as a chimp, right? Well, no, they were giving awards to movies fantascizing about his assassination. Funny word that “respect.”

Forget global warming, mini-ice age may be coming. New temperature data shows planet has not warmed for 15 years. The East Anglia climate science clowns say we don’t need the sun, greenhouse gases will keep us warm. We should believe them because of their excellent record on predictions thus far (insert derisive laughter here.)

CA air regulators adopted standards requiring 1 in 7 new cars sold there in 2025 to be an electric or other zero-emission vehicle. They’re hoping the Commerce Clause will enable President Michelle Obama to order would-be auto buyers into Volt showrooms at gunpoint. Failing that, the onus will be on govt agencies and contractors to buy more electrics when the public fails to cooperate.

Jeopardy contestants can’t identify MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. Guess they don’t watch the MSNBC cartoon channel, like just about everyone else in the country. Shocking.

Though her wealth is in eight figures, Elizabeth Warren says she’s not in the 1%. Yeah, Michael Moore, Obama, all the rich Hollywood celebutards, none of them are in the 1%. If Warren isn’t (update: SHE IS!) then who the hell is besides the Koch Brothers and Richard Mellon Scaife (remember him?) Isn’t it curious – no rich liberals are part of the 1%. And by “curious”, we mean “bull excrement.”

A “fanatical supporter” of President Obama is the prime suspect in an investigation into an Internet death threat against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Obama did urge his supporters to get in people’s faces and talked of bringing guns to knife fights, but this incident was undoubtedly provoked by Tea Partiers opposing Obamacare and Sarah Palin saying “target.”

Germany wants Greece to give up budget control. Yeah, that’ll work. Germany wants Greece to yield control of its budget “for a certain period of time” in return for a second 130 billion-euro bail-out package. Greece needs to strike a deal with creditors in the next few days or risk chaotic default. The can has just about run out of road to be kicked down.

Divider, not uniter: Obama’s 3rd year is the most polarized presidential 3rd year by a wide margin. Must be all that reach-across-the-aisle sweet talk of his. Stay tuned – a president’s 4th year is generally his worst in this regard.

Five-Year Treasury yield hits record low. The MSM will be spinning today’s 2.8% 4Q GDP into a “things are gettin’ better, REELECT OBAMA!” baloney sandwich like they were overpriced windmills. The bond market says something different. Investors pouring into 5 yr bonds at a .76% yield says we’re turning Japanese, they think we’re turning Japanese, they really think so.

Obama: I want an economy “where we’re making stuff and selling stuff and moving it around.” Maybe the economy would be better if the government weren’t being run by someone who thinks like an 8th grader.

Hawaii’s legislature is considering a measure requiring Internet providers to keep track of every Web site their customers visit. The reason for this stroke of genius is one of the legislators herself (one of the few Republicans, in fact) has been “attacked” by a web site. Hey Hawaii, if you paddle really fast, you can make North Korea in time for the spring food shortage!

North Korea threatens to punish mobile-phone users as “war criminals.” Citizens caught defecting to China or using mobile phones during the 100-day mourning period for Kim Jong-il will be considered “war criminals” and punished. Seriously, is there any place on earth more effed-up than this craphole? And to Jimmy Peanuts and the other morons who talk about it like it’s paradise… go there and stay there. Go to hell.

Lautenberg: Obama doesn’t have to convince voters they are better off since he became president. Asked if Obama could make the case to us that we are better off since he allowed us to serve him, Sen. Hackenberg gave a non-denail denial. Try it yourself: “Mr. President, do your proxies accuse your critics of raaaaacism to hide the fact you’re incompetent?” “They don’t need to!” See?

Madonna “bringing gay to the Super Bowl.” So says one of the dancers, anyway. Back in the early days of the Super Bowl, a typical halftime show featured stuff like the Whodaheckaredey College marching band playing music to chop celery by. Try and locate a video and play it instead of watching this one, you’ll enjoy it a lot more.

Gov. Beverly Perdue (D-NC) will not seek re-election – fears a fight with GOP over public education would become too political. Uhhh, yeah, right. Perdue is the nutjob who “joked” about suspending elections for a few years so the pols can “fix” the economy. What would really help the economy is getting dingbats like her out of high office. Good riddance.

Issa says Holder should apologize to Mexico: “Justice has blood on their hands”. 300 Mexicans killed by weapons handed out by a crackpot scheme to advance Obama’s political agenda. So what? Obama and Holder only “care” about people who are of political use to them. The “It’s All About ME!” Administration.

Issa demands Arizona assistant US attorney testify on Fast n’ Furious. Michael Morrissey, whose boss announced he would plead the Fifth last week, is expected to do so also. If we still had a viable free press in this country, they would’ve been interested in this. On that note, FnF now has its own website. As for the “MSM”, see ya on the unemployment line.

Occupy DC activist accuses Van Jones, MoveOn of smear campaign. Occupy DC leader states “a lot of these attacks on us came after we started to call out Democratic operatives that tried to take control of the movement.” Sounds like the Democraps, using their standard proxies and techniques, are out to trash any Occupado who objects to being a DNC sock puppet.

IRS report reveals 36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes. “These people working for Mr. Fair Share apparently haven’t paid any share, let alone their fair share.” We’re sure all those deadbeats will be inspired to pony up by President Tax-Free-Vacation’s wonderful “State of the Collective” speech.
