This year, Germans will pay $26 billion for $4 billion worth of (green) electricity. Obviously, the U.S. doesn’t have a monopoly on the glories of green energy.

Climate whackadoodles blame Syrian civil war on Global Warming. So it’s our fault, don’t you see? We made them start sarin-gassing each other by spewing so much carbon dioxide into the air.

Backlash! After six years of increasingly dysfunctional leftwing rule, conservatives swept into power today in Australia in a landslide victory. They promise to cut income taxes, end the wildly unpopular Global Warming tax on carbon, and crack down on illegal immigrants. Gee, sounds familiar.

U.S. military leaders embarrassed and repelled by Obama’s Syria plans. Well, they share those sentiments with the rest of us.

You think Miley Cyrus was on fire? This girl is making a twerking video for her boyfriend and really ends up on fire. No, really.

Feds have spent $2,202,873 studying why lesbians are fat. Maybe they should listen to Michelle Obama and watch what they eat.

Woman advising Kerry and McCain on Syria is paid advocate for Syrian rebels. No wonder these old boneheads think the rebels are moderates. And as if that’s not stupid enough, during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings Kerry named her as a reference and spelled her name for the senators: “A woman by the name of Elizabeth Bagly, B-A-G-L-Y…” Her name is actually Elizabeth O’Bagy. So Lurch can’t spell, either.

Maybe women really are better at multitasking. A woman in China was pulled over by police for breastfeeding her baby while driving a moped in city traffic. No word on whether she was texting updates to her Facebook page, too.

Russia gave UN 100-page report blaming Syrian rebels for March sarin attack. The Russians submitted their report in July, before the current hullabaloo started, so this is not a response to current efforts by Obama to blame Assad for the August incident.

Meanwhile, a previous military intervention masterminded by Obama has gone to shit.

“We all thought Libya had moved on – it has, but into lawlessness and ruin.”

So much for cruise-missiling a country into radical Islamist hands. Doesn’t work out well for the country we bomb (oil production in Libya is zero) and doesn’t work out well for us either (ambassador dragged out of consulate and murdered).

McCain calls Chairman of the Joint Chiefs a liar. According to McCain, General Dempsey was being “disingenuous” when he said military intervention in Syria would be a “fool’s errand” and cost $1 billion a month. Another fool’s errand, we’ve heard, is trying to explain modern military reality to senile old video-poker addicts.

Al-Qaeda vows to slaughter Christians after U.S. liberates Syria. If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the friend of my enemy is my enemy, and the enemy of my friend is my enemy, what is Barack Hussein Obama?

French President François Hollande is not the village idiot. Regardless of how he looks in news service photos.

Did you know Turkey caught Syrian rebels with sarin gas back in May? This jibes with intelligence reports that rebels accidentally caused the August chemical deaths by mishandling sarin weapons they received from the Saudis. This information is directly at odds with President Obama’s desire to bomb more Middle Easterners to install more Islamists in power, so expect the mainstream media to give it short shrift.

Nation’s only unionized strip joint closes. San Francisco’s Lusty Lady peep show became a workers’ cooperative in 2003 and the SEIU dancers put everything they had into the venture but it wasn’t enough… even though, as you can see from the picture, they had plenty to put.

The photograph John Kerry doesn’t want you to see. In 2009, when Kerry was on a congressional jaunt with his wife, they had a convivial dinner in Damascus with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad… the man he now compares to Adolf Hitler.

Extreme Global Warming emergency affecting Peru and Bolivia. 33,000 people are stranded by winter snow and extreme cold, but somehow, some way, this is caused by AGW – we just know it.

Obama said “we would not put boots on the ground…” in his speech Saturday, but the authorization he sent to Congress for approval says:

“Authorization.- The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in connection with the use of chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in the conflict in Syria…”

Amateur Hour: Obama will seek congressional approval. Let’s summarize: Obama drew a “red line in the sand” and the Syrians stepped over it, so Obama said he was going to intervene militarily to teach them a lesson, but then the Brits told their prime minister, “No, hell no!” and now Obama has changed his mind and will seek congressional approval… while insisting he doesn’t need congressional approval and not bothering to call Congress into session (like the Brits did) so they can actually talk about it and, by the way, if he doesn’t get congressional approval he’s going to bomb the living shit out of Syria anyway for “humanitarian” reasons. Got all that?

Senate candidate Cory Booker and his imaginary friend T-Bone. This guy will fit right in when he gets to Washington, D.C. He can introduce his imaginary friend to Elizabeth Warren’s imaginary Indian family, listen to Richard Blumenthal’s imaginary Vietnam stories, appreciate Barack Obama’s imaginary birth certificate, and laugh at Joe Biden’s imaginary brain.

Man on moped leads police on hour-long chase. The fearless moped rider “led them on a terrifying pursuit with speeds reaching up to 25 mph.” Living the dream, visions of Easy Rider in his head.

“If the president bombs without congressional approval, I will move to impeach.” Guess which U.S. senator said that. Don’t look until you guess, and prepare to be surprised.

U.S. government funding $313 million in mortgages… for Palestinians on West Bank.

Mildest summer in a century. In 1934 we had nearly 14,000 100-degree readings in the U.S. This year we’ve had fewer than 2,000. We can’t wait to see how James Hansen and Michael Mann blame this on Global Warming.

MSNBC host hangs up on conservative to avoid answering question. Karen Finney, host of the weekend show Disrupt, was desperate to hide the extent of her own ignorance. Hugh Hewitt was asking her if Alger Hiss was a communist. (He was. Secret archives released after the fall of the Soviet Union settled the matter, proving once and for all that Joe McCarthy was right.) She refused to answer and was probably thinking to herself, “Alger who?”
