Scam-a-rama: The FCC just approved “cheap” internet for the poor. We warned you that it was coming and now it’s here. It was a unanimous vote. All the commissioners said, “You know, what we really need to go along with that free government cell phone scam is a cheap internet program that can eventually become a free internet program. This article says it perfectly. Lord save us.

Holy cow: Another Obama lie from the State of the Union Address. This clip, in which Obama makes a “joke” about stupid regulations, has been making the rounds of the internet. He takes credit for getting rid of a 40-year old regulation that classified milk as a pollutant, but as this IHTM article from June 10, 2010 points out, it was the Obama EPA which issued that idiotic interpretation of the 40-year old regulation. In other words, the President is attempting to take credit for eliminating red tape that his administration established. Holy cow, indeed.

Funniest video of the day. Maybe the week. Froma Harrop is a journalist, head of the National Conference of Editorial Writers’s Civility Project, in fact. Jon Stewart reveals that she’s both unintelligent and, dare we say it, uncivil. Watch. Laugh.

No good deed goes unpunished: Free government cell phone program mutating into cheap internet service. The FCC is strong-arming cable TV, phone and broadband companies into offering a new cheap internet service. The bad news, of course, is that you’re not eligible. Hide your wallet! It’s more Obamanomics!

Obama has the shakes. Here’s a hilarious clip from Aussie TV showing how Obama got a little over-exuberant upon his arrival in Australia, shaking hands with Australian Governor-General Quentin Bryce. And then shaking a bit more. And more. And more. All the while Prime Minister Ju-liar Gillard (as she’s known down under) stood there waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

The world’s most honest politician? Nigel Farage, Britain’s outspoken member of the European Parliament, has been standing up and speaking the truth for years and no one listened. They called him a fool. They called him a clown. They called him crazy. They should have been calling him prescient. (For those of you who have free government cell phones, that means he can see the future.) This video is 14 minutes long and every second of it is worth watching.

Julia Gillard, Aussie Prime Minister, demonstrates the meaning of the phrase “going down under”. It could have been worse. She could have bowed to Obama. But, no, that’s a sign of subservience that liberals usually reserve for tinhorn despots.

We’re sad to report that Occupy Sydney is sort of unoccupied. It appears that we have more lunatics here in our little town than they have in all of Sydney, Australia. Believe you me, we’re puffed up with pride about it, too.

Flashback: December 2010. Filmmaker Michael Moore is getting a jump on his New Year’s resolution by checking himself into a luxury weight-loss camp in Florida. Pritikin Longevity Center in Miami charges $4,500-a-week. Based on this photo from Occupy Oakland, Michael should demand his money back. Mrs Editor insists that this is actually a photo of Obama’s campaign bus, not Michael Moore.

Once a pirate, always a pirate. From an early age President Barack Hussein Obama seems to have believed in stealing treasure from those who earned it. Arrrrrgggghhhh.

Who’d a thunk? Federal government’s free cell phone program cuts into prepaid cell phone industry sales. As highly-trained economists, we feel confident in telling you that everyone will stop buying cows when the government starts giving away milk and Bosco. Please send that Nobel Prize for Economics to us here at IHTM intergalactic headquarters.

Monday: Obama says he’s made all the right decisions. Friday: His former top economic advisor says, “Not so fast, Tonto.” Austan Goolsbee admits that Cash For Clunkers and the home buyer tax credits weren’t such good ideas after all. No wonder he left Washington. If he’s going to be honest he had no future there.

No comment necessary. None at all. Nope, the photo just about says it all.

That Damn Columbus, Part I: He caused global cooling. It’s really tough to keep up with the lunatic left’s global warming/global cooling theories. Check this one: “The European conquest of the Americas decimated the people living there, leaving large areas of cleared land untended. Trees that filled in this territory pulled billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, diminishing the heat-trapping capacity of the atmosphere and cooling climate,” says Richard Nevle, a geochemist at Stanford University.” Of course, scientists believe the Atlantic ice pack began to grow in about 1250, which predated Columbus’ first voyage by about 242 years, but why let science get in the way of a theory that simultaneously promotes global warming and condemns an important historical white European male? That’s like winning the daily double for a liberal.

America breathes a sigh of relief: Obama’s teleprompter stolen. “A truck carrying President Obama’s podium, teleprompter and audio equipment was stolen in Richmond, Va., a local news outlet reports.” Police have no suspects, but Obama reportedly blamed George Bush.

The road to nowhere. Orlando, Florida has officially opened Barack Obama Parkway, a one-way street on which you can only turn to the left. (rimshot) It starts off nicely, but most people grow disappointed before they get to the end of the road. (rimshot) Problem is, they thought it was going to lead them in one direction, but it took them somewhere completely different. (rimshot) Thank you. Thank you very much. We’ll be here all week.

Conspicuous consumption. This Occupy Denver protestor wants to eat the rich, but the rich are a tough bunch, which will make their consumption all that much more difficult for a guy who appears to have one tooth.

New polar bear ice cubes will also melt your heart. We’ll just let Geekosystem.com explain this new product: “The ice cubes produced by these trays … utilize high-tech iceberg technology to ensure that your icy polar animals stay afloat above the water as their ice floes flow around in your drink … Clearly, if you’re looking for ice cubes fraught with meaning and enjoy watching an ecosystem slowly dissolve in your drink, these are the ice cubes for you.” These ice cubes are sure to horrify any global warming fanatic. And that’s enough for us to give them our endorsement.

Occupy San Francisco is exactly what you might expect it to be. We’ll go out on a limb here and guess that they both voted for Nancy Pelosi.

Don’t ask, don’t tell: Obama calls the First Lady “Michael”. It’s pretty clear that Michael wears the pants in the White House. And even clearer why he wears ‘em.

Obama admits he was “intimidated” by Lady Gaga. Business Insider reports, “President Barack Obama addressed the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington Saturday night and remarked that ‘It was a little intimidating,’ to meet the music superstar Lady Gaga at a California fundraiser last week.” Jeez, if he’s intimidated by a freakish female singer, imagine what might happen when Vladimir Putin gives him the death glare. Medic!

“The president needs to change his message. You don’t get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success.” That was the advice given by Robert Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television, to President Obama. In other words, from a guy who’s spent a lifetime building something to a guy who’s spent three years destroying something.

Roseanne Barr wants to behead rich people if they won’t give up their wealth. “I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay back anything over $100 million (in) personal wealth, because I believe in the maximum wealth of $100 million. If they’re unable to live on that amount, they should go to re-education camps. And if that doesn’t work, they should be beheaded.” Since Rosanne suggests the $100 million cut-off mark (you’ll pardon the expression), is it safe to assume that she has only $99 million or so.

CDC issues another bogus disease alert. To summarize the CDC’s comments on the dreaded HEV68 virus: This variation of the common cold has killed just three people in three years (two of them in a third world country) and that fact that more cases are showing up can probably be attributed to the fact that better diagnostic tools are now available. Nevertheless, expect frantic demands for more reseach money in 3 … 2 … 1 …

Punishing the achievers comes to elementary school football. Sixth grader Demias Jimerson of Malvern, Arkansas is so good that he scores every time he touches the football. Instead of celebrating his talent, they’ve put a limit on how many touchdowns he’s allowed to score per game. Welcome to Obama’s America, Demias, where it’s assumed that you stole your rushing yards from the oppressed masses and where they must be redistributed to the other team so that the outcome is equal.
