Ahmadinejad says, “Circumstances Changing Rapidly in Our Favor”

Our enemies seem to love President Obama’s “engagement” efforts. That can’t be a good sign.

Here’s how CNSNews.com reports it:

At a joint press conference with Syrian President Bashar Assad last Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad boasted that “those who one day called Iran and Syria part of the axis of evil now want to develop relations with Iran and Syria.”

“Circumstances are changing rapidly in our favor,” Arab media quoted him as saying. “We are on the road to victory.”

President Obama better start some of that smilin’, fist pumpin’ diplomacy in Iran. After all, it worked so well in Venezuela.

Purdue University muslims to woman against Sharia: “You have no right to speak”

Few dare to speak out against Sharia Law, and fewer still get the chance to do so in our one-sided, speech-coded, liberal halls of academia. When they do, they are treated with disrespect by both the school administration and students. And it would not be a stretch to say that they take their lives in their hands, delivering a message that the biased or blind media is unwilling to give.

One such person is Nonie Darwish, a woman who lived under Sharia for 47 years. On April 9, 2009, she gave a speech at Purdue University on the threat of Sharia Law. Some Muslims in attendance helped Darwish make her point, by shouting that she had no right to speak, and questioning how much her jewelry cost. School and security officials, did nothing to quiet the crowd. Although, as you will see in this video, they did plenty to quiet the speaker’s sponsor, the Conservative Coalition for American Values, outside before the event.

If she had attempted to give this speech in an Islamic country, she’d be buried neck deep and stoned to death. If she’d given it in many countries in Europe, she possibly be arrested for hate speech. So far, here in America, she only gets the treatment you see in the video. So far, we say, if our media –a nd organizations pretending to stand up for women, like NOW — does not begin reporting stories like this.

No job? No income? No problem. Massachusetts will give you a car

Gov. Deval Patrick’s free wheels for welfare recipients program is revving up despite the stalled economy, as the keys to donated cars loaded with state-funded insurance, repairs and even AAA membership are handed out to get them to work.

A few months ago we were appalled by a government program that gives a free cell phone and free minutes to the loosely-defined poor. Well, not to be outdone, Massachusetts is now giving them free cars.

Here’s how the Boston Herald explains the details of this welfare fiasco:

Immensely unpopular Democrat Gov Deval Patrick, may soon qualify for this program because he's going to be unemployed after the next election.

Gov. Deval Patrick’s free wheels for welfare recipients program is revving up despite the stalled economy, as the keys to donated cars loaded with state-funded insurance, repairs and even AAA membership are handed out to get them to work.

But the program – fueled by a funding boost despite the state’s fiscal crash – allows those who end up back on welfare to keep the cars anyway.

“It’s mind-boggling. You’ve got people out there saying, ‘I just lost my job. Hey, can I get a free car, too?’ ” said House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading).

The Herald added:

The state pays for the car’s insurance, inspection, excise tax, title, registration, repairs and a AAA membership for one year at a total cost of roughly $6,000 per car.

The program, which started in 2006, distributes cars donated by non-profit charities such as Good News Garage, a Lutheran charity, which also does the repair work on the car and bills the state.

Free cell phones! Free cars! Free food! Free medical care! Free houses!

Not working is almost as good as getting elected to congress.

Harry Reid says Obama’s supreme court selection will be as good as his cabinet selections. That’s what we’re afraid of.

Harry Reid is apparently pissed off that people think Joe Biden is the stupidest man in Washington, DC. He wants to win the title back. So he fired off this gem.

What does this mean, Harry? They will not have paid their taxes? They employed illegal aliens. They are illegal aliens?

Tennessee senate may authorize Al Gore statue

ice_gore According to WSMV.com, “A resolution urging the creation of statues to be built on the Tennessee Capitol grounds of the state’s two Nobel Peace Prize winners, Al Gore and Cordell Hull, is on its way to a full Senate vote.”

This will not be the first time The Goracle has been honored with a statue.

Earlier this winter, during a particularly bitter cold snap, Fairbanks, Alaska businessman Craig Compeau commissioned this lovely 8-1/2 foot tall ice sculpture of the former Vice President and current scam artist.

Congratulations, Mr. Gore.

President Obama and the press laugh at the thought of Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys failing

Hollywood hates conservatives. The press hates conservatives. And the worst conservative on earth is Rush Limbaugh. And President Obama loves all that. Put all these ingredients together and what do you get? Comedian and actress Wanda Sykes at the the White House Press Corps dinner last night saying she hope Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys fail, to the delight and laughter of our free press, and of course, our tolerant and very sensitive president.

Oh we know, she was just kidding. The press crops were just a little tipsy. And the president was just politely smiling along with the joke. Can’t we conservatives just lighten up?

Democrats want to put private health insurance out of business, think government plan is the right medicine

Angry, liberal (forgive us for the redundancy) Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) wants to put private health care out of business. And she admits that Obama’s health care plan will do exactly that.

You may have seen this video in which she says:

“And next to me was a guy from an insurance company who then argued against the public health insurance option saying it wouldn’t let private insurance compete; that a public option would put the private insurance industry out of business. (cheers) My single payer friends, he was right. The man was right. Here’s what I told him. I said excuse me sir the goal of health care reform is not to protect the private health insurance industry. And, I am so confident in the superiority of a public health care option that I think he has every reason to be frightened.”

Well, last week the angry, liberal (damn it, we did it again) representative showed up on Fox News, put on a happy face and tried to downplay what she said on the earlier video.

Media bias being what it is, Fox News is the only network that put the angry, liberal (we can’t stop ourselves) representative on the air to put her hypocrisy on display.

If Michael Savage is right and liberalism is a mental disorder, we wonder if it will be covered by Obama’s healthcare plan.

“Milk” screenwriter wants annual Harvey Milk Day in California

Benjamin Button prepares to celebrate "Old Guy With Young Chick Day"
Benjamin Button prepares to celebrate "Old Guy With Young Chick Day"

Dustin Lance Black, the guy who wrote “Milk,” says he’s hopeful that California will name May 22 as Harvey Milk Day.

Here’s how WilshireAndWashington.com reported it:

After he testified on Wednesday before the state Senate’s education committee, the panel voted 7-2 to send the bill to the full Senate.

“We not only won the vote, but we actually got bipartisan support,” he said from San Francisco. “That was very exciting to me. I got a little misty eyed.”

Black told the committee of how, when he was 14 and struggling with being gay in a conservative environment, a theater director in the Bay area told him the story of Milk, the nation’s first openly gay elected official, and how he “stood up to prejudice and bigotry” and “lived openly as who he was.”

“The big point I made is I was one of the lucky kids,” Black said. “But why did it have to happen through luck?”

In a related move fully-supported by the Hollywood community, the writer of “Benjamin Button” proposed that “Old Guy With Young Chick Day” be declared in both May and December.

John Edwards’ baby mamma demands DNA test

If John Edwards wasn’t such a complete schmuck, you could almost feel sorry for him.

His wife’s making the rounds of the media reminding everyone that he’s a schmuck who cheated on her while she is dying of cancer. And now his mistress also realizes he’s a schmuck and is demanding a DNA test to prove he’s the father of her baby.

According to the National Enquirer, which refused to let this story die when the liberal media attempted to bury it:

Rielle Hunter – the longtime secret lover of the disgraced 2-time presidential candidate – wants definitive proof that Edwards is the father of her 14-month-old love child Frances and is working with a lawyer to take legal action, say sources.



The blonde divorcee – who gave birth in February 2008 – was slammed in the explosive new book Resilience written by the ex-senator’s cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth.

The story continued:

“Rielle – probably naively – now realizes she had held onto a false promise that if she continued to take part in the cover-up John had engineered, they’d be together in the future,” a close source told The ENQUIRER.

“She was willing to protect John for the sake of the child. She agreed to allow a crony of his to claim he was the baby’s father, and she even kept the name of the father blank on the birth certificate.

“But now she can see there’s never going to be a future with John – and she feels he’s lied about his promise to keep Elizabeth from trashing her in the book,” the insider divulged.

Have we mentioned that John Edwards is a schmuck?

UPDATE: Andres Young now says there is a John Edwards and Rielle Hunter sex tape

CNN’s infamous Tea Party reporter back on the air, now covering Drew Peterson

Highly-respected reporter Susan Roesgen…hell, we can’t even say that with a straight face, so let’s start again. Partisan hack reporter Susan Roesgen is back on the air at CNN.

You may remember Roesgen as the so-called reporter who frantically attacked Tea Party participants in Chicago on April 15. Her pathetic performance drew such unanimous condemnation that Roesgen suddenly departed on a “previously-planned vacation.” A three week vacation, at that.

Roesgen is now back on the air reporting for CNN. Her assignment? The Drew Peterson arrest. And after the way she murdered her Tea Party assignment, what could be more appropriate?

Unconfirmed rumors say that Roesgen immediately caught Peterson’s eye and the dashing former detective is already planning a June wedding.

There’s not a word of truth in that previous sentence. But in our defense, you have to admit that those two deserve each other.

Chinese government more honest than American government about its cigarette habit

Patriotic Chinese child doing his part to boost his nation's economy.
If cigarettes are as bad as the government says, if they cause so much disease, so many deaths, so much pain, why doesn’t the government just outlaw them?

We all know the answer to that, don’t we? State and federal governments are addicted to the sales taxes that cigarettes generate. Without those tobacco taxes, they couldn’t keep building their house of cards.

At least the Chinese government is honest about it. Here’s how the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports it:

Officials in a county in central China have been told to smoke nearly a quarter of a million packs of locally made cigarettes annually or risk being fined, state media reports…

Departments that fail to meet their targets will be fined, the report said.

“The regulation will boost the local economy via the cigarette tax,” said Chen Nianzu, a member of the Gong’an cigarette market supervision team, according to the paper.

President Obama praises overseas tax cheat Charlie Rangel for helping him close overseas tax loopholes

Charlie Rangel and Barack Obama. Two of the three taxing amigos.
Charlie Rangel and Barack Obama. Two of the three taxing amigos.

This story hits the trifecta. It has liberal hypocrisy, media bias and remarkable stupidity all rolled into one.

The liberal hypocrisy? After being introduced by tax cheat Timothy Geithner, President Obama heaped praise on Harlem congressman Charlie Rangel for helping him close overseas corporate tax loopholes.

The remarkable stupidity? Rangel is being investigated for his own overseas tax scam.

The media bias? Have you seen it on the evening news?

Here’s how the New York Post editorialized about it:

Rangel, of course, knows a thing or two about offshore tax shelters: He’d been operating one for years.

The congressman had to fork over nearly $11,000 in back taxes last year after The Post reported that he failed to disclose more than $75,000 in rental income on his Dominican Republic villa.

Plus, he’s under investigation by a House committee for allegedly helping a company preserve its offshore tax loophole — in exchange for a million-dollar gift to a school named in his honor.

Though perhaps that’s not exactly what Obama meant when he gushed that the problems with tax havens “have been highlighted” by Rangel, among others.

This is perfect. We have tax vampire Barack Obama proposing the legislation, tax cheat Charlie Rangel writing the legislation, tax cheat Timothy Geithner enforcing the legislation.

ABC’s Jake Tapper reveals press corps’ secret nickname for press secretary Robert Gibbs

Behold a few rare moments of candor from ABC’s Jake Tapper and the Examiner’s Julie Mason. They explain that Robert Gibbs is known as “The Gibnotist” for his ability to bore the hell out of people who are paid to listen to him speak.

“People have actually fallen asleep in his briefings,” Tapper says.

This may explain the increasingly contentious relationship between Gibbs and the press: They’re not fighting with him. They’re fighting to stay awake.

Obama seeks to double tax law enforcement budget

MSNBC’s EdShow on life support. Where’s
Dr. Kevorkian when you need him?

Where did MSNBC find a shot of angry Ed Schultz actually smiling?
Where did MSNBC find a shot of angry Ed Schultz actually smiling?

“Just give Ed Schultz time,” they said at MSNBC. “We’re happy with the numbers for his premiere show. It will build over time.”

Now that the EdShow’s been on the air for a full month, let’s review how angry Eddie’s audience is building.

Uh-oh. Look at that. Schultz is sheddding viewers faster than a snake shedding its skin. And, yes, the comparison was intentional and apt.

The EdShow premiered amid great hype and hoopla on Monday, April 6. It drew a total audience of 725,000 viewers and 247,000 in the coveted Adults 25-54 demographic.

Four weeks later, Monday, May 4, the EdShow had a total audience of just 531,000 and the Adult 25-54 demo has shriveled to just 161,000.

Believe it or not, that’s an improvement. Ed’s audience has been as low as 365,000 per night and the Adults 25-54 demographic once fell to only 75,000.

To make matters even worse, Ed’s ratings are no better than David Schuster garnered on his last night in the same time slot. Shuster’s total audience was larger at 579,000 compared to the EdShow’s 531,000. Shuster’s Adults 25-54 demographic was 153,000 compared to the EdShow’s 161,000. This has to be a huge disappointment to MSNBC after all the time and money they invested in the EdShow.

Would someone please put a mirror under Big Eddie’s nose? Find out if he’s still breathing. Because his show is dead.

Pelosi tortures the truth: She was fully-briefed on waterboarding in 2002

Sgt Schultz knew nothing, but Nancy Pelosi claims to know even less.
Sgt Schultz knew nothing, but Nancy Pelosi claims to know even less.
Once again, Democrat Nancy Pelosi lies and the truth dies.

According to a report from the Director of National Intelligence, Democrat House Speaker Pelosi was fully-briefed on the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” way back in September of 2002.

Of course, this flies in the face of Pelosi’s subsequent statement that she knew nothing about waterboarding or any other “enhanced interrogation techniques.”

What? How could this be? A Pelosi spokesman said Madame Speaker thought the techniques were legal and, my oh my, she never knew waterboarding was used.

“As this document shows, the speaker was briefed only once, in September 2002,” the spokesman said. “The briefers described these techniques, said they were legal, but said that waterboarding had not yet been used.”

Pelosi wants to establish an independent commission to investigate anyone and everyone involved in the drafting the of interrogation methods. Everyone who has an (R) after their name, that is.

Question: How can you tell when Nancy Pelosi is lying? Answer: She moves her lips.

Saudi Miss Morality:
“The winner won’t necessarily be pretty”

Miss Congeniality 2009, Farina al-Muqtar bin Akbar, shows her stuff during the swimsuit competition
Call us blasphemous, but for Christ’s sake, how would they know?

The Saudi’s are putting on a little competition that may never rival the excitement of the Miss Universe pageant, but it does have a definite fervor about it. A religious fervor, that is.

Here’s how Associated Press described it:

Sukaina al-Zayer is an unlikely beauty queen hopeful. She covers her face and body in black robes and an Islamic veil, so no one can tell what she looks like. She also admits she’s a little on the plump side. But at Saudi Arabia’s only beauty pageant, the judges don’t care about a perfect figure or face. What they’re looking for in the quest for “Miss Beautiful Morals” is the contestant who shows the most devotion and respect for her parents.

”The idea of the pageant is to measure the contestants’ commitment to Islamic morals… It’s an alternative to the calls for decadence in the other beauty contests that only take into account a woman’s body and looks,” said pageant founder Khadra al-Mubarak.

“The winner won’t necessarily be pretty,” she added. “We care about the beauty of the soul and the morals.”

Too bad Perez Hilton wasn’t invited to judge the Saudi Miss Morality pageant. From what we hear, the Saudis are far less tolerant of gay marriage than Miss California is.

Ted Turner still an idiot, thinks forced abortions are a good idea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTME9ahQBWM Maybe that’s not precisely what he said, but he might as well have.

Turner appeared on Diane Rehm’s show and during a conversation on population control, Turner said the following, “We do have the example of China, and they’ve done it without, uh, draconian, as far as I can see, draconian steps.”

We would have said forced abortions fall into the “draconian” category, but it looks like we were wrong.

Turner quickly admitted that he didn’t know what he was talking about, which is something we’ve been waiting to hear for nearly 30 years.

Talk about wanting to be a fly on the wall. Wouldn’t you have loved to listen in on the dinner conversations Turner had with Jane Fonda when they were married?

Democrat congresswoman wants Obama healthcare plan to destroy insurance industry

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) comes right out and admits it. She wants to see the American insurance industry destroyed. Just like President Obama wants to see the coal industry destroyed.

This is actually an ingenious one-two punch and the cornerstone of President Obama’s economic program. When the coal industry and all its CO2 spewing plants are eliminated, Americans will live forever and there won’t be any need for healthcare.

Deserts will flower. The streets will flow with milk and honey. And beautiful people will throw themselves at your feet.
