Lobster Cheaper Than Deli Meat: Finally . . . the average person can enjoy a small portion of the life they’ve been paying for Michelle Antoinette to indulge in.

Chris Rock: “Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks.” No Mr. Rock that wasn’t fireworks on the first Independence Day. That was gunpowder and the sacrifice of those laying down their lives to purchase freedom. Four score and some years later another 600,000 Americans laid down their lives in the conflict to help set right what the founders got wrong. And it is unfortunate that you cannot appreciate the efforts of those that did far more to end the slavery of their times than you are willing to do in order to confront that which exists in ours.

When fascism comes to America it will not be -as supposed by Sinclair Lewis- “wrapped in the flag” or “carrying a cross”. Rather it will be with the Supreme Court deciding that congress has unlimited power to exert control over the lives of the American citizen.

Seattle Occupy group drops $5,000 from hotel: And so it would seem that it is insanely easy to throw away money you haven’t earned. Meanwhile a lot of the rest of America had to go to work that day in order to earn enough money to pay these whiney whiner’s fair share.

Bus driver says caffeine made him grope girls: Obviously the man drinks the same brand of coffee that Bill Clinton does.

France may extend TV licence fee to computer screens: We were a bit curious as to why France didn’t seek to increase revenues by taxing soap. But as a frequent commenter here at IHTM recently revealed to us . . . the country remains largely unfamiliar with this item.

If Healthcare Law Is A Tax Is It Now Invalid? It seems that we remember something in civics class about Article 1, Section 7 that prohibits taxes from originating in the Senate. It also seems that we remember Obamacare originating in the Senate. So the question is . . . does that render any or all of this bill invalid? We won’t hold our breath though. The Constitution prohibits a majority of the things those in government do, which is why they’ve learned how to ignore it.

Katrina vanden Heuvel: Justice Roberts’s Legacy: We are all painfully aware of Justice Robert’s legacy. But what can you say about a man that must have felt the Dred Scott decision was not so much wrong as it was too narrow? What can you say about a man that has effectively made federal property out of us all?

Obama Contributor, Who Helped Enact Assault-Weapons Ban, Ran ‘Fast and Furious’ Guns don’t kill people. This guy does.

Ouch! Sarah Palin Slaps Down Bob Beckel on Death Panels: Alright, so Sarah Palin has certainly had more than her fair share of dim moments -although perhaps not so many as Barry- but it is pure joy to watch her shut Bob Beckel down in this fairly short clip.

Kevin Smith on God: I’m spiritual myself; I believe in God. I don’t need some dude judging me and how I live, and cramming God down my throat. God is something that, you go to the fridge and say, “I want a can of God,” and you enjoy it. The moment somebody is like, “You have to take all of this god, you have to carry it and you have to live these rules,” they ruin a good thing . . . That is good advice about not shoving “God” on people. Unfortunately Smith cannot apply this reason to the other place in which it applies. Otherwise he’d stop trying to shove his big government and his rules and his controls onto us.

Obama’s Legacy at Risk After Winning Health-Care Fight: Forget Barry’s legacy. We’re more worried for the one belonging to all those that sacrificed so much to end slavery in this country. Because the individual mandate pretty much brings that awful institution back.

Big Government Health Care PSA: Can’t afford to pay for your own health insurance? What a coincidence. We can’t afford to pay for your health insurance either.

Obama warns on healthcare ruling:Barack Obama suggested that any decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn his landmark healthcare law would send the country “backwards” and that Americans did not want to “re-fight” the battle over healthcare. Mr. President, we have not yet begun to fight.

Confrontation With TSA Agent Leaves Family Member’s Ashes On Floor: Don’t worry about the light Grandpa. Stay away from the TSA.

Nicke Gillespie owns Maddow and Maher (redeems them after the show for a cup of coffee whereupon he receives 35 cents back in change) : When confronted with REASON Maddow reacts with a shrill ‘I’m louder than you so I must be right” defense highlighted by obfuscation and an inability to process more than one side of what can only charitably be described as a debate. In other words, it was just like any other two minutes in her life.

Pres. Obama: ‘It’s Fashionable Right Now For People to be Cynical’: Better than in 2008 when it was fashionable to be stupid.

Obama’s enemies face tax scrutiny: Perhaps the best reason ever to vote Republican. They can’t even get away with covering up bungled hotel break-ins . . . there is no way they could get away with this.

The Nation: The Robin Hood Tax, A Powerful Antidote to Austerity: Yeah, also a powerful antidote to jobs and economic growth. But that doesn’t concern the kleptocrats. They don’t care about taxes trickling down to the middle class. Not so long as it means that someone is going to be on the hook to pay for their handouts.

Bill Maher unfamiliar with “Fast and Furious” Don’t worry Bill. All your bedfellows are more than familiar with the term. The former being the best way to describe your technique. And the latter most accurately describing their feelings about it.

Many Americans Can’t Name Obama’s Religion: Including the President himself.

Don’t kid yourself, daily newspaper journalism cannot be replaced: Who is kidding themselves? Daily journalism was replaced a long time ago by the propaganda, creative editing, editorializing and the outright mendacity machine. But if this Pitts fellow is really serious in his belief that We the People cannot possibly do the job that these journolists have failed at then we sincerely hope this modern day Chairman Ludd will drop by the IHTM page on Craigslist. We’ve got a Laser Disc Player, Motorolla DynaTAC 800X, Swatch Watch, a can of Billy Beer and several copies of Peter Frampton’s “I’m in You” on eight track cassette that we’d just love to get rid of.

Jack Webb Schools Obama on Democracy: Just the facts man, just the facts.

BATH SALTS: Finally a drug that the kleptocrat Flea Baggers won’t abuse!

This Week in Poverty: Ms. Vasquez Goes to Washington and asks JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon. This question: “Despite making billions last year, why do you deny the people cleaning your buildings a living wage?” Well Ms. Vasquez the answer to that is simple. Your chosen profession requires a skill set that demands very little ability, intelligence, education or physical strength. And so as hard (and admirable and honest) a job as yours may be the potential supply of employees is just so great that the level of compensation must drop very low before no one is willing to underbid you for the position -a situation exacerbated by illegal aliens that increase that supply and drop the potential income even lower as they will often work for less than their citizen counterparts.
