How could Sharpton, Jackson, Rangel and the NAACP go after Don Imus for his “nappy-headed ho” comment after ignoring more offensive comments in the past?
The mystery is, why did Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Charlie Rangel and the NAACP the rest of the racemongers decide to go after Don Imus for his “nappy-headed ho” comment after ignoring far more offensive comments in the past?
Like this one, for example. It’s called “The Black Beatles.”
We honestly don’t know what year this clip ran, but since Imus hasn’t been funny in at least 20 or 30 years, we have to assume it’s from back in the 70s or 80s.
Anyone have a better guess?
An internal White House memo indicates there are facing a shortage of applications for a contest to win having President Obama as commencement speaker.
Forget the Rasmussen Poll, ignore Pew and don’t bother with Gallup. The best way to gauge President Obama’s popularity may be to look at strength among America’s youth. And a recent White House memo underscores the Commander In Chief’s plummeting popularity.
CBS News has the declining details:
The White House is ramping up an effort to promote a nationwide competition to decide which high school wins a commencement speech by President Obama.
An internal White House memo indicates that the White House is facing a shortage of applications less than a week before the deadline.
The competition was extended from the February 25 deadline until Friday, March 11 after few schools met the original application deadline. CBS News has learned a White House Communications Office internal memo dated February 22 noted “a major issue with the Commencement Challenge.”
“As of yesterday we had received 14 applications and the deadline is Friday,” the memo said. The memo also urged recipients to, “please keep the application number close hold.”
A follow-up memo on February 28 reported receipt of 68 applications. Noting the competition among more than 1,000 schools last year, the memo said, “Something isn’t working.” It called on staffers to ask “friendly congressional, gubernatorial and mayoral offices” to encourage schools to apply.
“We should also make sure the Cabinet is pushing the competition out to their lists,” the memo said. The note reiterated, “We do not want the actual application number out there (we didn’t release the number of applications we received last year until after the submission period)-so folks should not use it in their pitches.”
On Monday, officials declined to cite the number of applications received so far.
There does appear to be hope for the youth of America.

We must have been napping when the American Muslims rose as one and took that noble stand against terrorism, because we completely missed it. But it must have happened, because President Obama said so and he wouldn’t lie.
We must have been napping when the American Muslims rose as one and took that noble stand against terrorism, because we completely missed it. But it must have happened, because President Obama said so and he wouldn’t lie.
The Associated Press fills in the blanks in our memory. And probably yours, too:
The White House on Sunday praised American Muslims for helping fight violent extremism, but a House leader on terrorism issues said they aren’t cooperating enough with law enforcement to counter the radicalization of young followers by al-Qaida-linked groups.
Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough, speaking at an interfaith forum at a Northern Virginia mosque, commended its members for taking “an unequivocal stand against terrorism.”
“You’ve sent a message that those who perpetrate such horrific attacks do not represent you or your faith, and that they will not succeed in pitting believers of different faiths against one another,” McDonough said.
We’re picturing members of the mosque looking around at each other and saying, “Whatchu talking about, Denis?”

Australian Broadcasting Company host Jon Faine recently interviewed convicted terrorist and former Gitmo resident David Hicks.
Hicks was as quick to anger as you might expect a convicted terrorist to be. Faine, on the other hand, was merely quick. Make sure you read the whole transcript just to set up Faine’s closing line.
Hicks: I don’t think you’ve read my book, that’s correct?
Faine: No, I’ve not read your book.
Hicks: Are you aware that I’ve even written a book?
Faine: I’m aware that you’ve written a book called Guantanamo: My Journey. When it arrived at the radio station we asked if you were available. We were told you were not, so I didn’t read it.
Hicks: What do you mean by that?
Faine: Well, this was last year I think it came out, didn’t it?
Hicks: It came out in the middle of October.
Faine: Yeah, so at the stage the book arrived you were not available so I didn’t read a book for someone I wasn’t going to interview.
Hicks: Oh, fair enough. I’d have thought you had an interest in this area and obviously you knew you’d be speaking to me, you would read about it.
Faine: I was told I’d be speaking to you about an hour ago, so I haven’t been able to read your book in an hour, so keep going, though. If you renounce terrorism, what’s led to your change of heart?
Hicks: Nothing’s led to my change of heart. It’s a bit difficult to discuss this with someone who’s not read my book. There’s tens of thousands of Australians out there who have read my book and even before then were informed enough to know differently.
Faine: Well, I plead guilty that I haven’t read your book. You plead guilty to terrorism. I think your offence is the greater. Can we discuss it, please?
Your move, terror boy.

You really can’t really blame Charlie Rangel. He can’t be expected to know that ordinary citizens actually get punished for their crimes.
You really can’t really blame Charlie Rangel. Based on his experience you can blatantly break the law and get a slap on the wrist. So he can’t be expected to know that ordinary citizens actually get punished for their crimes.
The New York Post has the story:
Members of the Abyssinian Baptist Church packed a Manhattan courtroom yesterday, hoping to post $50,000 in church money to bail out an accused prep-schooler-turned-gun-moll — even though the renowned congregation had been the biggest crusaders against her drug ring.
But as Afrika Owes sobbed from the defense table, a Manhattan judge refused to set her free despite her contingent of church members, family and supporters — including embattled Rep. Charles Rangel.
The congressman had been so eager to weigh in in favor of the bond, he was told three times by court officers to sit back down in his front-row seat.
Not so fast, said Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Edward McLaughlin. There is no case law supporting the use of tax-exempt church funds for bail, he noted, and the parishioners who contributed these funds presumably had no idea they would be used to free an accused drug-gang conspirator.
Owes reportedly was caught on recorded phone calls agreeing to ferry guns for her accused drug-kingpin boyfriend.
“The witness against the defendant is the defendant — the defendant’s own words,” the judge noted.
We’d suggest they break out the old “She didn’t say what she said when she said it” defense. Or maybe the “Who you gonna believe – me or your lyin’ ears” defense. Either one should prove adequate to win the freedom of this poor victim of racism.

Republican Senators James Inhofe of Oklahoma and John Barrasso of Wyoming teamed up on Obama Science Guru John Holdren, who had predicted global cooling back in the ‘70s.
Think of it as bad cop and badder cop. Republican Senators James Inhofe of Oklahoma and John Barrasso of Wyoming teamed up on Obama Science Guru John Holdren, who had predicted global cooling back in the ‘70s.
The Daily Caller has the details:
The exchange started with Barrasso addressing the committee’s witness, Environmental Protection Agency Director Lisa Jackson.
“Forty years ago, the same scientists that are predicting the end of the world now from global warming were predicting the end of the world from global cooling,” said Barrasso. “So if we had committed the same amount of taxpayer resources and government manpower that the administration now wants us to commit to prevent global warming — if we’d done that prevent global cooling, we wouldn’t be the most prosperous nation on earth.”
He continued: “The fact is that the same doomsday predictions we were getting 40 years is the exact same thing this agency and this administration today. Only now…the problem is man-made global warming.”
… Still later, Inhofe got into the science debate by citing a 1971 study by Dr. John Holdren, who just so happens to be President Obama’s advisor on science technology. In that study Holdren wrote, “The effects of a new ice age on agriculture and the supportability of large human populations scarcely need elaboration here.” Holdren went on to write that the effects could “generate a tidal wave of proportions unprecedented in recorded history.”
A visibly satisfied Inhofe then turned to Boxer, and stated, “So even the president’s people are agreed with me, Madam Chairwoman!”
Inhofe and Barrasso must have felt like that old Steales Wheel song: “Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you.”
The video really is worth watching if for no other reason that to watch Barbara Boxer attempt to control events as they spiral out of control. Damn, we’re so proud to have her as our Senator.

In an online forum, Jennings told readers: “[Sens.] Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] and Harry Reid [D-Nev.] both called me back personally in 2004 to try to get me to run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate seat.”
Schumer went on to become head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2005 and earned a reputation for recruiting top candidates.
Jennings continued: “I am not making this up. Win on a game show and you can apparently run for the US Senate. That was when I realized the Democratic Party was f@#$ed in ’04.”
C’mon, guys. If intelligence was a prerequisite for being in the Senate, the Democrats couldn’t get quorum.

Question: What’s the only thing that takes longer than charging a Chevy Volt? Answer: Selling all 10,000 Volts they’ve committed to build.
Question: What’s the only thing that takes longer than charging a Chevy Volt? Answer: Selling all 10,000 Volts they’ve committed to build.
The latest sales figures tell a common liberal morality tale: They come up with some wacky socialist scheme and attempt to force it down the gaping gullets of the American people. In the unfortunate case of the Volt, it doesn’t look like even the most liberal of environmental lunatics will spend their own money on it.
The Washington San Francisco Examiner explains:
Peruse Chevrolet’s February sales release, and you’ll notice one number that’s blatantly missing: the number of Chevy Volts sold. The number — a very modest 281 — is available in the company’s detailed data, but it certainly isn’t something that GM wants to highlight, apparently. Keeping the number quiet is a bit understandable, since it’s lower than the 321 that Chevy sold in January.
Note that it’s also lower than the 326 that sold in December. There are about 9,200 left to sell.
326 sold in December. 321 sold in January. 281 sold in February. Please allow us to use those sales figures to extrapolate a projected sales chart for the rest of 2011.
Yes, you’re reading the chart correctly. At the rate sales are plummeting, zero Volts will be sold in September leaving Government Motors with about 7,000 oversized door stops.

Eleanor Clift and Bill Press actually claimed on PBS’ McLaughlin Group that the United States auto industry has never been stronger. No. Seriously.
There’s the intellectual equivalent of an arms race going on in the land of liberal television. Except the competitors seem to be racing to see who can say the dumbest thing possible.
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz got out to a big early lead, but Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift is coming on strong and liberal radio host Bill Press is keeping pace.
On Friday, for example, Clift and Press actually claimed on PBS’ McLaughlin Group that the United States auto industry has never been stronger.
No. Seriously. That’s what they said. We realize you doubt that anyone could be that delusional and still maintain a regular gig on network television, but we herewith submit the following transcript and video clip as proof.
Good lord, what morons.
Press: Then there was the auto bailout. Our auto industry is stronger than it ever was today. It was a George Bush program continued by Barack Obama. If he had not continued those two programs, we’d be in the toilet still today.
McLaughlin: (dumbfounded) You say the auto industry is stronger than it ever has been?
Press: Yes, it is.
Clift: Yes, it is.
Buchanan: No, it is not.
Crowley: No.
Press: GM reported its first profits, John.
McLaughlin: I know that. I know that.
Clift: Well, General Motors now has a nice fat share of the market in China. They have recovered, excuse me, and millions of jobs have been saved.
Why stop with millions, Eleanor. As long as your fantasizing, why not make it billions of jobs? Maybe even trillions of jobs.
The only question is, how do you keep yours?

Just the other day we wondered, “What ever happened to Rodney King?” He used to find himself in trouble and his name in the headlines on a regular basis, but he hadn’t been heard from for a few years.
But now the drought has ended and the Pasadena Star News has the story of Rodney’s well-timed return to the public eye:
One day before his famous videotaped beating at the hands of a group of Los Angeles police officers, Rodney King was cited Wednesday evening for driving with an expired license, police said.
A patrol unit pulled King over after a motorist called 9-1-1 and reported someone driving recklessly in the area of Santa Anita Avenue and the 210 Freeway, Arcadia police Lt. Paul Foley said.
After issuing him a ticket for having an expired license, officers allowed King’s girlfriend to drive him home, Foley said.
Foley said he could not confirm it was in fact the same Rodney King who was beaten by police March 3, 1991, sparking events that eventually culminated in the Los Angeles Riots a year later, but the two shared the same name and birth date.
We actually kind of like Rodney. He one of those amiable screw-ups who just can’t keep himself from doing something stupid every once in a while.
He’s a good guy. In fact, you might even say Rodney’s tough to beat. Well, no, on second thought, that’s probably something you wouldn’t want to say.

The mere thought of Joe Biden Elementary School makes us laugh. Out loud. Who could even come up with the concept of naming a school after a national embarrassment?
DelawareOnline has the story:
In a Brandywine School District contest lasting several months, voters decided the name of the new school being built in the Brandywine Hundred neighborhood of Chalfonte should be Hanby Elementary School, rejecting the name of the second most powerful officeholder in the land.
The winning name, which was revealed at Monday night’s school board meeting, was drawn Oscar-like from an envelope and announced ceremoniously by board President Olivia Johnson-Harris and two student members of a committee that had selected five finalists from several hundred names submitted by the community.
One voter, Ellie Kwick, had a very good reason for voting against Joseph R. Biden, Jr Elementary School:
Although she believes Hanby is perfectly acceptable, she was opposed to naming the school after Biden because he sent his children to private schools.
“It seems to me, if you have confidence in the public school district, you send your children there,” she said. “And so, why would you have a school named for you in a public district?”
This video demonstrates a few more reasons that no school should be named after Joe Biden.

Safelink Wireless has competition. Now we can add the ReachOut wireless to the list of companies that take your dollars and magically convert them into free cell phones for the poor.
We know the routine. We do an article on this subject and apologists immediately bombard us with comments saying, “This isn’t a government program.” Nonsense. ReachOut admits as much on its blog.
Did I mention that you can get a free cell phone? Believe it or not, if you are considered “low income”, you can. Low income families have it hard. Working hard, paying off bills, and taking care of everyone’s needs is a difficult task. Thankfully, the list of government-assisted products and services now includes a free cell phone.
Here’s how the ReachOut Wireless website describes the program:
REACHOUT WIRELESS™ service is U.S. government supported program for Income eligible households provided by Nexus Communications, Inc. In order to participate in the REACHOUT WIRELESS™ service, persons must meet certain eligibility requirements set by each State where the service is to be provided. These requirements are based on a person’s participation in a state or Federal support programs or by meeting the Income Poverty Guidelines as defined by the U.S. Government. REACHOUT WIRELESS™ service is limited to one person per household.
It’s nice to see that competition has been introduced into this program. Now Safelink and ReachOut will slug it out to see which company can give away more of your hard-earned dollars.
Capitalism at its finest.

Libertarians in Ohio want to draft Drew Carey, comedian and host of The Price Is Right to run for the United States Senate.
Libertarians in Ohio want to draft Drew Carey, comedian and host of The Price Is Right to run for the United States Senate.
That might sound crazy at first, but we’d love to see the Senate hearing where Carey grills a government contractor by saying, “Why wasn’t the winner the vendor who came closest without going over the real price?” That’ll put an end to those $1200 monkey wrenches and $700 toilet seats.
Politico.com has the story of libertarians asking Carey to come on down:
With no clear-cut Republican contenders having emerged yet for the contest, conservative activist Josiah Schmidt took it upon himself a little more than a week ago to construct a website and Facebook page to kick off the draft effort.
While Carey, who is from Cleveland but currently lives in Los Angeles as host of “The Price is Right,” has not yet commented on the movement, Schmidt told POLITICO the Reason Foundation has already agreed to reach out to the television star about the possibility.
Reason, a libertarian think tank, partnered with Carey on a documentary series on the plight of Cleveland last year.
“Carey’s outspoken libertarian-conservative policy advocacy, most notably through the Reason Foundation, has proven his credentials as someone who could be trusted to spare no sacred cows in his fight to reduce the size and role of government back to what it was originally intended to be. Furthermore, his name recognition, personal wealth, affability, and status as Ohio’s favorite son would be a huge asset in an election,” said Schmidt.
“Drew’s increasing activism in local Ohio politics certainly gives us no reason to think he’s uninterested in running for office. Also, his recent slimming down, the fact that he is in the last year of his five-year contract with Price Is Right, and the fact that he maintains a residence in Cleveland would all match up well with a 2012 Ohio Senate candidacy,” he argued.
Why not? He’s funnier than Al Franken. But what the hell, if that’s now the criterion for being in the United States Senate, get ready for Senator Carrottop.

The Oprah Winfrey Network, better known as OWN, drew 1.2 million viewers on launch day, but it’s been all downhill since then.
The power and the glory that was Oprah is no more. Last year, the TV show screamer announced she was quitting her successful syndicated TV show, launched her own cable network, and sat back to watch the suckers tune in.
It hasn’t quite worked out quite the way she’d hoped. The Oprah Winfrey Network, better known as OWN, drew 1.2 million viewers on launch day, but it’s been all downhill since then.
The Telegraph UK reports that Oprah’s omniscience is over:
The OWN channel, which launched two months ago, is being watched by only 135,000 people at any one time.
The ratings are 10 per cent lower than for the cable channel it replaced which was called Discovery Health.
And only 45,000 of those watching are women aged 25 to 54, the audience the channel is being aimed at.
Miss Winfrey, 57, has urged patience and supporters say ratings will improve when the chat show host begins appearing more regularly herself towards the end of the year.
She will still be busy filming “The Oprah Winfrey Show” for the ABC network until September, but will then be able to devote more time to her own channel. That will include having her own show two or three nights a week.
Oprah is riding to the rescue. Hell, we’d tune in just to see how the horse handled that load.

A 17-year-old high school senior was verbally assaulted by an old democrat who graphically described sexual tea-bagging to him.
In the sixties the counter-culture encouraged the stodgy squares of the era to “teach your children well”. Well, at least the members of Crosby Stills Nash & Young did.
How the times have changed … or are a-changin’ … or something like that.
Big Government has all the details:
The 17-year-old high school senior waded into a sea of communist red to deliver the truth of liberty in the form the US Constitution to the political pagans assembled.
In the process, Patrick was verbally assaulted by an old man who graphically described sexual tea-bagging to the high school student. The incident took place during dueling protests in Jefferson City, Missouri, and was caught on two separate video cameras.
Patrick had grabbed a stack of Pocket Constitutions and Declarations offered for free by the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition The Tea Party held a rally on the south side of the Missouri Capitol. He took those Constitutions to the north side of the Capitol where the unions and socialists had gathered to denounce Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
The contrast of the two generations–the dying union generation that demanding more of others with the rising Generation Tea–could not be more stark. Or more encouraging.
On the one hand, you have a creepy old man, speaking filth to a boy. On the other, you have Patrick, politely fending off the old pervert’s sexual advances.
To paraphrase the words of another graying sixties icon, this kid is alright.

Two U.S. airmen were shot and killed in Germany on Wednesday by a man screaming, “Allahu Akbar.” The Perry Mason of presidents is now sifting through the clues to determine why this teabagger committed such a horrible crime.

President Obama says the government will “spare no effort” to determine why two American airmen were killed and two others were wounded in a shooting in Frankfurt, Germany.
“I’m saddened, and I am outraged, by this attack that took the lives of two Americans and wounded two others. I think the American people are united in expressing our service to those who were lost,” Obama told reporters in a surprise appearance in the briefing room. “We are praying for a speedy recovery for those who were injured.”
Obama promised that “we will spare no effort” to figure out “how this outrageous attack took place.”
“We don’t have all the information yet,” he told reporters. “You will be fully briefed as we get more information.” He added that the attack is a “stark reminder” of the “extraordinary sacrifices” made by the members of the military.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who doesn’t believe in walling off the Mexican border and who led LA City efforts against Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law, isn’t quite so forgiving when it comes to protecting his own property.
CBS Los Angeles has the details:
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has asked for approval for a six-foot-wall around the Getty House, the mayor’s official residence in Windsor Square, according to city documents.
But at least one planning official was “caught off guard” by Villaraigosa’s request for increased security around the taxpayer-owned property.
The mayor’s office filed its request on Feb. 2 for a variance to city bylaws with plans to erect a security wall around the property at 605 S. Irving Blvd.
Officials say the wall’s design includes “embedded” security features that will save taxpayer money by cutting costs for security staffing.
Initially, the mayor proposed an eight-and-a-half-foot wall, which was quickly rejected by the Windsor Square Association.
Villaraigosa has scaled down his plans, but the new proposal still exceeds the permitted 42-inch height.
Please note that Villaraigosa’s mansion is located at 605 South Irving Boulevard in Los Angeles. Let’s all meet there at noon and have a picnic lunch on his front yard.
Make sure you leave your trash when you leave. We’ll all go inside the mansion like we own it and use his bathroom or if it’s being used we’ll just use the bushes. If any of us get hurt, we’ll go inside the house and demand that he give us medical care. And if any of us are short of money, we’ll demand that he Villaraigosa cut us each a check.
