UK Member of Parliament says he may kill Miss California, kills career instead

Alan Duncan is a Member of Parliament in Great Britain. He wants to be Home Secretary, but after last night he may find himself unemployed instead.

The boneheaded MP was discussing Miss California, Carrie Prejean, on the BBC comedy show “Have I Got News For You” when he called Prejean a “silly bitch.” If would have been bad enough had he stopped there, but he didn’t.

“If you read that Miss California is murdered,” he said, “you will know it was me.”

At least we think that’s what he said. It was difficult to tell with his foot buried so deeply in his mouth.

Viewers complaints began flooding into the BBC and Britain’s Broadcasting Standards Authority almost immediately.

“Mr. Duncan has crossed the line,” said the Reverend George Hargreaves. “A senior politician suggesting, even as a joke, that it is OK that Ms. Prejean should be murdered for her Evangelical Christian views is totally unacceptable.”

“If you read that my career is dead,” Duncan shold have said, “you will know it was me.”

Republican Congressperson accuses Al Gore of making windfall profits on cap-and-trade regulations

Looks like those evil oil companies aren’t the only ones making windfall profits these days.

Republican Congressman Congresswoman Congressperson Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee finally did what we’ve been waiting for – she confronted Al Gore about the vast fortune he expects to make from Cap-and-Trade legislation to supposedly fight climate change.

Gore tap dances. Gore acts shocked. Gore acts insulted. Gore shucks and jives.

Hey, there’s an idea. Maybe they should be honest here and change the name from Cap-and-Trade to Shuck-and-Jive.

Who would ever believe we weren’t political science majors?

Reporters disgusted by Hillary Clinton sex scandal

Hillary offered State Department reporters her own "stimulus" package.
Hillary offered State Department reporters her own "stimulus" package.

Put yourself in this situation and imagine how horrified you’d be.

You’re a reporter. You’re assigned to cover the State Department. The White House gives you a special phone number so you can call in and listen to a Hillary Clinton conference call. You call the number expecting to hear Hillary and you hear:

“Do you have any hidden desires? Well, if you feel like getting nasty, you came to the right place.”

Luckily for any reporters with delicate stomachs, it wasn’t Hillary talking.

Someone at the White House screwed up gave reporters a phone number that was off by one digit. Instead of getting Hillary’s conference call, they called the “Swank” phone sex line.

The recording went on to say that Swank’s services would cost from $2.99 to $5.99 per minute.

Today’s world is full of frightening things. But none – absolutely none – are more frightening than the words “Hillary” and “pornography” in the same sentence.

The One’s one hundred mistakes in the first one hundred days

We "hope" things "change" in the next 100 days.
We "hope" things "change" in the next 100 days.

While the left is celebrating the greatest president in history, the hippest president in history, the greatest orator in history, the…ok…you get the idea. While they’re doing all of that, some people are living in the real world and seeing what an unmitigated disaster this unskilled rookie has become.

An article in Sunday’s New York Post lists the top 100 screw-ups in The One’s first one hundred days.

1. “Obama criticized pork barrel spending in the form of ‘earmarks,’ urging changes in the way that Congress adopts the spending proposals. Then he signed a spending bill that contains nearly 9,000 of them, some that members of his own staff shoved in last year when they were still members of Congress. ‘Let there be no doubt, this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business, and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability,’ Obama said.” — McClatchy, 3/11

2. “There is no doubt that we’ve been living beyond our means and we’re going to have to make some adjustments.” — Obama during the campaign.

3. This year’s budget deficit: $1.5 trillion.

4. Asks his Cabinet to cut costs in their departments by $100 million — a whopping .0027%!

5. “The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties.” — ABC News, 4/15

6. “Mr. Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the ‘teleprompt president’ over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech.” — Sky News, 3/18

7. In early February, the 2010 census was moved out of the Department of Commerce and into the White House, politicizing how federal aid is distributed and electoral districts are drawn.

8. Obama taps Nancy Killefer for a new administration job, First Chief Performance Officer — to police government spending. But it surfaces that Killefer had performance issues of her own — a tax lien was slapped on her DC home in 2005 for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help. She withdrew.

9. Turkey tried to block the appointment of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as new NATO secretary general because he didn’t properly punish the Danish cartoonist who caricatured Mohammed. France’s Nicolas Sarkozy and Germany’s Angela Merkel were outraged; Obama said he supported Turkey’s induction into the European Union.

10. . . . and he never mentioned the Armenian genocide.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu babbles when Congressman asks him where oil comes from

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this guy is in charge of America’s energy future.

Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) asked the energy expert where oil comes from and Steven Chu begins babbling about continental plates drifting around and geology and scientific stuff like that. But he finally bit on Barton’s bait and said, in effect, “Yes, the oil drifted up there.”

Kind of like this administration is drifting. Only slower.

Extra! Extra! Time Magazine sets a new record for presidential butt kissing, puts Obama on cover for 13th time in a year.

obama_time

Time magazine’s report on Obama’s First 100 Days begins with a swoon: “Obama’s start has been the most impressive of any President since F.D.R.” At that point we fell asleep faster than Obama’s economic advisor Lawrence Summers.

Does anybody really read Time anymore? Of course not. That was a rhetorical question. Their “news” is always a week old. People must look at it for the exciting pictures, like the behind-the-scenes photo essay consisting of 77 dynamic shots of The One contemplating paintings, moving a chair, and a dandy close-up of his healthy snack consisting of cheese, crackers and a pear. (Yawn.)

Lawrence Summers demonstrates that the stimulus plan is somewhat less than stimulating.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Sorry. Dozed off at the keyboard. If you manage to get through the story, let us know if there was anything “newsworthy.”

Any guesses as to who will be Time’s next Man of the Year? For the next four years. Maybe eight.

Kenya’s Muslims and Christians battling for the soul of Barack Obama’s grandmother

Seventh Day Adventist terrorists are causing trouble for President Obama's grandmother in Kenya.
Seventh Day Adventist terrorists are causing trouble for President Obama's grandmother in Kenya.

Oh, my! We have a battle going in Kenya. Muslims claim Christians are trying to convert Sarah Obama, who just happens to be the president’s grannie.

Mrs Obama, who’s been basking in her grandson’s aura since he became the most powerful man in the world, was recently stopped from going to a Seventh Day Adventist Church by local Muslims who feared she might convert to Christianity.

Not to worry, say the Seventh Day Adventists. They say she had merely been invited to attend one of their events.

“We had invited her to grace our meeting in Kisumu which was to mark the end of a three-week convention, but although she had prepared, she did not attend,” said Lewis Ondiek, a senior church figure.

Hey, Reverend Wright. Get your butt on a plane bound for Kenya. You may have lost one Obama, but it looks like there’s another one ripe for conversion.

Susan Boyle, Britain’s virgin singing sensation, offered $1,000,000 to make porn flick

susan_boyle If you thought Simon Cowell looked stunned when he heard Susan Boyle sing on “Britain’s Got Talent,” imagine the look on his face when he sees her in a porn flick.

Los Angeles-based Kick Ass Films has offered the singing British spinster one million smackers to star in a porn flick.

Unfortunately, the deal calls for the homely virgin with the fabulous voice to sacrifice her virginity on camera. Boyle, a self-confessed virgin, says she’s never kissed a man, much less bedded one.

“We want to get this movie shot and out while Susan has the world’s attention,” said Kick Ass honcho Mark Kulkis. “Besides, after 47 years of virginity, I’m sure Susan is also anxious to get something cracking as soon as possible.”

If Boyle accepts the offer, Kulkis says Kick Ass will fly her to Hollywood on Virgin Airlines.

A YouTube.com clip of Boyle singing on Cowell’s British TV show, “Britain’s Got Talent” has been viewed more than 100 million times around the world.

We just hope that the woman with the voice of an angel isn’t seduced by the man with the soul of the devil.

If government officials are prosecuted for approving torture, let’s include Congress

If waterboarding won't break Pelosi, threaten to withhold her Botox.
If waterboarding won't break Pelosi, threaten to withhold her Botox.
President Obama says he’s open to prosecuting Bush officials for their anti-terror legal advice. This comes only two days after Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said no prosecutions were being considered because this is not the time for “anger and retribution”.

So much for “looking forward”.

Well, if government officials are to be prosecuted for approving “torture,” shouldn’t we include Congress? After all, Congress was fully briefed and approved of the “enhanced” interrogation tactics used by the CIA. But then, that would mean Congress would have to investigate and prosecute itself. You know, kind of like Barney Frank fixing the financial mess he helped create.

The Wall Street Journal notes in its “Presidential Poison” editorial that Bush officials won’t (or shouldn’t) be the only ones on the hot seat if this goes forward: “Congress will face questions about what the Members knew and when, especially Nancy Pelosi when she was on the House Intelligence Committee in 2002.

The Speaker now says she remembers hearing about waterboarding, though not that it would actually be used. Porter Goss, her GOP counterpart at the time, says he knew exactly what he was hearing and that, if anything, Ms. Pelosi worried the CIA wasn’t doing enough to stop another attack. By all means, put her under oath.

Here’s an idea that might help jog Pelosi’s memory as to what she actually heard and approved:

Waterboard ‘er.

Sean Penn drawn to Hugo Chavez’ robust sense of humor, ignores that inconvenient dictator-ish thing

Sean Penn always has a scowl on his face. But he wants a president who smiles.
Sean Penn always has a scowl on his face. But he wants a president who smiles.
Want proof that Sean Penn is a lunatic? He gives you all the evidence you need in a piece he wrote for the Huffington Post on Friday.

I know President Chavez well. Whether or not one agrees with all his policies, what is certainly true of Chavez is that he is a warm and friendly man with a robust sense of humor (who daily risks his own life for his country in ways Dick Cheney could never imagine). To treat such a man coldly is akin to spitting on him. As a country we’ve done enough of that. Say what you will, but it has only resulted in the self-celebration of our smirking spitters, while costing us international respect, American lives, and left wounds in the hands of our children’s future. The Cheneys, down to the O’Reillys and Hannitys and Limbaughs, effectively hate the principles upon which we were founded. They are among the greatest cowards in all of American history. I applaud an American President who’s tough enough…to smile.

Oh, if only Barack Obama had been president back before the Iraq war. He could have smiled at Penn’s other buddy, Saddam Hussein.

California congressman jumps all over Hillary Clinton

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was testifying in Congress yesterday. It wasn’t pretty.

When long-time conservative California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher asked her about former Vice President Dick Cheney’s request to release additional CIA interrogation documents, Hillary tried to deflect the question by saying, “I don’t find him to be a particularly reliable source of information.”

Rohrabacher jumped on her like a bulldog on a bone. It was a thing of beauty. What Rohrabacher did, not Hillary.

“Mademe Secretary, I asked you a specific question…we’re not asking your opinion of Dick Cheney…you want to maintain your credibility with us, what is your opinion on the release of those documents”

The woman didn’t answer, wouldn’t answer, couldn’t answer, all of the above.

Obama so tough he can fight jihadists with one hand tied behind his back

President Obama demonstrating how easy it is to do stuff with one hand tied behind his back.
President Obama demonstrating how easy it is to do stuff with one hand tied behind his back.
“I’m sure that sometimes it seems as if…we’re operating with one hand tied behind our back, or that those who would argue for a higher standard are naïve,” said President Obama to an audience of CIA spooks at Langley.

The reason for Obama’s appearance at CIA headquarters was to explain his release of OLC memos that tell terrorists exactly how to train against U.S. interrogation methods.

You may be wondering, how will we defeat jihadists now that they know how far we’re willing to go to extract information? Better technology? Better weapons? An army of lawyers armed with lawsuits?

Here’s how Obama explained his reason for releasing the OLC memos and how he plans to wage the War on Terror, or whatever it’s called now:

“I believe that our nation is stronger and more secure when we deploy the full measure of both our power and the power of our values –- including the rule of law.”

Bask for a moment in the power of our values. It sure put a quick stop to those Somali pirates, didn’t it?

Can we bankrupt the country? Yes, we can!

Obamanomics 101: Even if every citizen paid the government every cent of income, we still couldn’t cover the projected deficit for one year. But don’t worry, only the rich are paying taxes.
Obamanomics 101: Even if every citizen paid the government every cent of income, we still couldn’t cover the projected deficit for one year. But don’t worry, only the rich are paying taxes.
Forbes.com points out that even “if the government increased the top tax rate from the current rate of 35% to 100% (yes, that’s right 100%), it would only collect an extra $400 billion this year. In other words, confiscating all the income that is currently taxed at 35% would not raise enough revenue to cover any of the annual deficits projected in the next 10 years.”

If this is hope, where’s the change? Why bother trying to save any money at all? The Feds are printing new money faster than all of us together can earn it. (Though not as fast as Congress can spend it.)

We say, enjoy it now. Do what the politicians do and blow it on your own special interests. Buy a boat. Name a building after yourself. Rack up your credit cards like there’s no tomorrow. Then vote yourself a raise.

Idiot Jihadist stuffs bomb in false leg, detonates it, only kills himself

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCi5sHRE2mY

Let’s subtitle this story “The extremist who was missing an extremity.”

This genius Afghani jihadist crammed his artificial leg full of explosives, then detonated it inside a provincial governor’s compound. The good news is that this suicide bomber truly was a suicide bomber, because he was the only one to die in the explosion.

Here are more hilarious details from Afghanistan:

The bomber hobbled into the heavily guarded compound of the governor in the western city of Herat and exploded his bombs after police fired at him, deputy provincial police chief Delawar Shah Delawar said.

“Today a suicide attacker, a disabled man who placed his bombs in his artificial leg, was able to enter the governor’s compound. He exploded himself after our police fired at him,” he said.

The report continues:

Chief Delawar said intelligence reports tipped off authorities about a possible suicide attack on the compound, which houses the provincial governor and other government entities.

The blast took place about 500m from the governor’s office.

The explosion shattered windows and scattered body parts of the attacker, including shards of his artificial leg, an AFP reporter said.

In honor of this peglegged lunatic, we present you with ZZ Top’s big hit “Legs.” On one hand, it features a scantily-clad Carmen Electra dancing, which should horrify all good jihadists. On the other hand, the two bearded members of ZZ Top look as if they should be hiding in a cave with Osama bin Laden, which should mollify them.

We take great pleasure in thinking about how conflicted IslamoFascists will be when they watch the video.

Reinout Oerlemans. Why would a nice Dutch man like you inflict Nadya Suleman on the rest of the world?

Nadya Suleman says she’s landed a reality show deal. Or a documentary deal. Or maybe she hasn’t.

“Yes, it is official,” Suleman said. “I’m going to be doing a show, but it’s not a reality show. What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It’s being done by Eyeworks. They’re in the UK. It will air in the UK and then we’ll see if the US is interested.”


Unfortunately, Nadya may have jumped the gun here. No European network has agreed to carry the show and even Eyeworks disputes that it’s reached an agreement.

“At this time we are in active negotiations with Nadya and her attorney for an unscripted format following the life of Nadya and her children,” said Eyeworks CEO Reinout Oerlemans. “Nadya’s story is a unique and exciting one that needs to be told in the right manner…We are confident that we are the right party to tell their story around the world.”

How could the OctoMom story get any wierder?

Yup, that’s verbatim. We’re excited about supper, too. Mmmm, pot roast tonight.

Shep Smith goes apesh*t on the air, screams “We are America. We don’t f*cking torture.”

Shephard Smith probably wishes he could take back an exchange he had yesterday on Fox News. The anchor got, shall we say, a little heated during a discussion with Trace Gallagher and Andrew Napolitano.

He said, and we quote, “We are America! I don’t give a rat’s ass if it helps! We are America! We do not f*cking torture!”

Immediately after the outburst, Shep got very quiet. We imagine his director must have been screaming some equally color language into his earpiece.

We have one question for you, Mr. Smith. If torture is not allowed in America, how does Keith Olbermann stay on the air?
