Boortz to Bow Out: The Talkmaster has announced that he is hanging up his microphone on 01/21/2013 -either in celebration or with lamentations- ending a career in talk radio that has lasted over forty years. For many Boortz was the gateway drug into libertarianism and has been a longtime champion of the notion that devotion to political philosophy trumps adherence to political party. Longtime friend of the Bootz Show, and victim of a high profile media lynching, Herman Cain will be replacing Boortz. Note: Don’t get Boortz in your area? Here is an app for that.

New York bans big soda. LA bans plastic bags. It seems that instead of the arms race the 21st century has a stupid race.

Hmmm. The 2012 Election Reminds Me Of Something. This article questions which election of the past is most similar to the one looming before us. A number of them are noted. For our purposes here we will focus on the first: “1936: Franklin Delano Roosevelt vs. Alf Landon, says Alison Dagnes, who teaches political science at Shippensburg University. “The Republicans tried to attack FDR for his New Deal programs, saying they were too expensive and moved the country toward socialism — sound familiar?”The problem, she says, is that once a president gives the people new rights, the public grows attached and wants to keep them.” Can anyone spot the main problem here? Ding, ding, ding! That is correct. Despite what poli-moron Alison Dagnes thinks Presidents can’t grant new rights. Nor, despite the best efforts of Barry and company, do they have the authority to take any of our old ones away.

Uh-oh, Planned Parenthood rep caught attempting to facilitate gendercide: Here is your modern American liberalism . . . coldly offering a “final solution” to the “gender problem”.

ABC’s Barbara Walters to Michelle Obama: ‘Will Racism be a Part of This Campaign?’: Interesting question. We’re tempted to say yes. This time around, just like last, a significant portion of the population will turn out and vote for the man simply because of the color of his skin.

Holder to brief black pastors on campaign: Perhaps some of these pastors can offer Holder some advice of their own. Like say how he could start following that commandment about not killing.

Jay Carney explains the difference between Solyndra and Bain Capital:. Well, that is an easy one. Bain Capital didn’t cost the taxpayers 500 million dollars in kickbacks for Obama cronies.

Happy Memorial Day: It has been said that if you love your freedom you should thank a vet. This is certainly good advice. But we must remember that not all of those that secured our freedom were able to come back to our thanks. And so today is just one of the many days that we should set aside to remember them.

The EEOC: Protecting the public from the dangers of attractive people. This time around their targeting a coffee shop. We’re not sure why. Of course we here at I Hate the Media are committed feminists. Which is why we are combating misogyny by including this video. Because no man could watch it and come away with anything remotely close to hate for women.

Priest removed from ministry due to sex abuse allegations now works for TSA. From the article,iTeam has learned that a Catholic priest who was removed from the ministry over sex abuse allegations now holds a sensitive security post at Philadelphia International Airport. We look forward to the day when none of these guys will be able to hold sensitive posts.

Buffett Says Free News Unsustainable: So not only does Buffet want to control your access to the news, he wants to charge you for the privilege of his being able to control it.

Pro-Abortion Americans at Record-Low 41%: Opinion polls are nice and all but some things should be well beyond the authority of any electorate. Like the right to be born.

Colombia prostitution scandal sparks investigation of U.S. DEA: This is the DEA, reach for the sky and spread ’em!

Senate Dems back increase in air travel fee to close funding shortfall at TSA: Hey, they might as well charge us out the ass since their hands are going to be probing in the general vicinity anyway.

France’s Hollande steals show: Small wonder here. Stealing is what this man does best.

Karzai Thanks US for ‘Your Taxpayers’ Money’: Silly Karzai. There is no so such thing as ‘taxpayer money’. It is all government money. And Obama is just kind enough to let us keep some of it.

Report: ‘Fat Tax’ Could Curb Nation’s Obesity Problem: It is not as though there isn’t some precedent for this working. After all look at how they’ve taxed jobs, capital gains and -by proxy- our savings accounts. And all of those things have certainly been curbed!

Justice: Prisons to step up anti-rape efforts. Those unable to comply with this initiative can expect a swift transfer to the TSA.

Chris Matthew’s epic JEOPARDY fail: We’ll take “dumbass” for one thousand.

FBI may charge George Zimmerman with hate crime: In a nation where there are emotion police how long can it be until there are ones enforcing thought restrictions as well?

Warren: Wall Street Fighting A “Guerrilla War” Against Regulations. From the article: “Well, this is about accountability,” Elizabeth Warren said about her call for Jamie Dimon to step down as CEO of JPMorgan Chase. “You know, the banks have been loading up on risk and they don’t want to be accountable. And Jamie Dimon not only is CEO of JPMorgan Chase, he holds this position of public trust, advising the New York Fed on how to regulate risk for these large financial institutions like his own financial institution.” If accountability is the issue we have a much better idea. Let them fail. Let them go out of business. Let them end up in bread lines, soup kitchens and going door to door trying to get work mowing our lawns. Of course a committed corporatist like Elizabeth Warren could never allow for that solution. That gives the power to the market. That gives the power to the consumer. That gives the power to the people. And if that were ever to happen there would be precious little left for her to use in that never ending quest to control our lives.

Former Obama Speechwriter to Pen White House Sitcom: This could be great. Clearly the man has demonstrated a certain proclivity for producing material that is largely laughable.

Yet another warning that Greece will soon run out of money: Unfortunately we’ll probably be going greek sooner than we might suppose.

Blind N.J. Man Gets Guns Back Years After Police Took Them Away: Although we wouldn’t be surprised if the cops keep an eye on this fellow.

Strange Time cover features woman breastfeeding large kid: We wouldn’t be at all surprised if there was a hidden provision in Obamacare that forced Catholics to perform this very service for lonely law students at Georgetown.
