GQ decided to feature Barack Obama. Not just as Man of the Year, mind you, but as Leader of the Year. That, of course, makes it even funnier that President Ego-bama was caught carrying the magazine.
You have to be a bit of an egomaniac to be a politician. In fact, it may be an absolute requirement.
But, c’mon, our current Commander-In-Chief takes it to a new level.
GQ, once known as Gentleman’s Quarterly, is about as far to the left as a publication can get. So, naturally, when they decided to do a “Men of the Year” issue, they also decided to feature Barack Obama. Not just as Man of the Year, mind you, but as Leader of the Year. And they filled the cover of the magazine with his huge, smiling mug.
That, of course, makes it even funnier that President Ego-bama was caught carrying the magazine.
Not that it’s surprising. After all, Barack Obama is Barack Obama’s favorite topic.
The gloves have apparently come off. Obama is fair game. Maybe it took that “under 50% approval” thing for SLN to finally see the humor in this administration.

Al Gore has lost a little credibility with his attempt to scare the bejeezus out of readers by including a heavily-Photoshopped photo of Earth just inside the front cover.
Sure, Al Gore’s made hundreds of millions of dollars with his global warming scam, but you still have to feel sorry for the poor schlub.
America’s book buyers have decided that “Our Choice,” Gore’s latest book, is more science fiction than science. Instead of flying off the shelves in droves, it’s being left on the shelves in droves. Perhaps Gore has lost a little credibility with his attempt to scare the bejeezus out of readers by including a heavily-Photoshopped photo of Earth just inside the front cover.
What kind of PhotoShopping? Let’s just start with these egregious examples:
All the Arctic ice and most of Greenland’s ice has mysteriously disappeared
Florida is mostly submerged
Central America is gone
Cuba is gone
The hemisphere is bedeviled by four different hurricanes. Simultaneously. The thing is, though, that the one off the coast of mini-Florida is spinning in the wrong direction, meaning that it is actually a Southern Hemisphere hurricane.
There is a hurricane down there near the equator off the coast of Peru, which is damn near physically impossible.
To give Gore the benefit of the doubt, we wanted to assume that this artwork was an attempt to demonstrate what could happen if all the ice in the arctic and Greenland were to melt (as is shown in the photo). Unfortunately, for Panama to disappear beneath the waves would require sea levels to rise more than 11,400 feet (slightly more than the 14-inches anticipated by the IPCC report).
That sea level rise would leave only five towns in the entire world above water – Namache Bazaar, Nepal at 11,482 feet; Potosi, Bolivia at 13,420 feet; El Alto, Bolivia at 13,615 feet, Lhasa Tibet at 12,200 feet; and La Rinoconada, Peru at 16,728 feet. Denver, the Mile High City, would be a mile under water.
Sara Palin’s book is a runaway #1 this week on Amazon.com and has been in their Top 100 for 52 days. Glenn Beck’s book is #8 and has been in the Top 100 for 44 days. The global warming-bashing SuperFreakonomics is #10 and has been on the Top 100 for 46 days.
Meanwhile, Gore’s “Our Choice” never reached the Top 20 and has dropped to #123 after just 15 days. Two weeks ago it was #49 and last week it was #59. So it’s dropping even faster than worldwide temperatures and Gore’s credibility.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must be livid. Turns out Paris still has a law on the books that prohibits women from wearing pants. That, of course, makes her world-class collection of pant suits worthless in the City of Lights.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must be livid. Turns out Paris still has a law on the books that prohibits women from wearing pants. That, of course, makes her world-class collection of pant suits worthless in the City of Lights.
The Telegraph UK reports this odd tale from the land of ungrateful frogs and women with hairy arm pits:
The rule banning women from dressing like men – namely by wearing trousers – was first introduced in 1800 by Paris’ police chief and has survived repeated attempts to repeal it.
The 1800 rule stipulated than any Parisienne wishing to dress like a man “must present herself to Paris’ main police station to obtain authorisation”.
In 1892 it was slightly relaxed thanks to an amendment which said trousers were permitted “as long as the woman is holding the reins of a horse”.
Then in 1909, the decree was further watered down when an extra clause was added to allow women in trousers on condition they were “on a bicycle or holding it by the handlebars”.
In 1969, amid a global movement towards gender equality, the Paris council asked the city’s police chief to bin the decree. His response was: “It is unwise to change texts which foreseen or unforeseen variations in fashion can return to the fore.”
The latest attempt to remove the outmoded rule was in 2003, when a Right-wing MP from President Nicolas Sarkozy’s UMP party wrote to the minister in charge of gender equality. The minister’s response was:
“Disuse is sometimes more efficient than (state) intervention in adapting the law to changing mores.”
“They can kiss my ass,” Hillary reportedly muttered.
To which Nicolas Sarkozy responded, “Ce, ma cheri, serait un emploi à plein temps.”
Translation: That, my dear, would be a full-time job.”
Barack Obama not only creates jobs where none exist, he creates entire congressional districts where none exist.
Obama's Imaginary Congressional District Czar researching the number of jobs that have been saved or created
No wonder his admirers think Barack Obama is The Greatest President In History. The guy not only creates jobs where none exist, he creates entire congressional districts where none exist.
“The Obama administration,” ABC News reports, “under fire for inflating job growth from the $787 billion stimulus plan, slashed over 60,000 jobs from its most recent report on the program because the reporting outlets had submitted ‘unrealistic data,’ according to a document obtained by ABC News.”
For example, Alabama’s Talladega County claimed 5,000 jobs had been saved or created from only $42,000 in stimulus funds. Ohio’s Belmont Metropolitan Housing Authority reported 16,120 jobs saved or created thanks to $1.3 million in stimulus money. Alabama’s Shelton State Community College used $27,000 in stimulus funds to save or create 14,500 jobs. And Alaska’s Alkan Builders used $11 mil to save or create 3,000 saved or created jobs.
Unfortunately, the reporting was bogus and all those jobs have been quietly subtracted from the 1,000,000 jobs Obama now claims he’s saved or created.
But the Obama administration, never sticklers for the truth, also claimed that Arizona’s 15th congressional district was able to use $761,420 to save 30 jobs. In one Iowa district, $10.6 million spent to create 39 jobs. And another 25 jobs were created in Connecticut’s 42nd district.
Problem is, those congressional districts – and many others listed in the government’s report – do not exist. Well, to be 100% accurate, they do exist, but only in the minds of White House imagineers.
Now that Obama has created these districts, Nancy Pelosi will soon begin crowing that evil Republicans want to deny the districts’ voters their constitutionally-guaranteed rights. The ACLU will rush in to file a suit on their behalf. Dead people from Chicago will move en masse to those districts so they can vote. And the Democrats will gain another ten seats in congress.
The sad part is that you’re wondering right now if that last paragraph is a joke.
Texas Governor Rick Perry didn’t mince words in a recent speech: “This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country.”

Breitbart.com reports:
The Chinese have learned English from his speeches and celebrated the way he rolls up his sleeves. Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he’s being greeted with “Oba Mao” T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames.
The Associated Press reveals that Fidel Castro has a man crush on Obama and warmly welcomes him to the ranks of Communist leaders. Or his boudoir. We’re not sure which Castro wants more.
Fidel Castro appears to have a fascination with the American leader that would make Obama Girl jealous, writing obsessively not only about his politics, but of his youth and vigor.
And unlike with past American heads-of-state — he slammed President George W. Bush as a genocidal drunk — Castro seems to genuinely like the fresh face in Washington.
Since handing over the Cuban presidency to his brother in February 2008, the 83-year-old has continued to publish his thoughts in essays called “Reflections of Comrade Fidel,” which are dutifully printed in state media and read repeatedly on government-controlled radio and television.
Hardly a week goes by without a mention of his nemesis to the north, the most recent on Thursday. In an opinion piece that took up an entire newspaper page, Castro waxed philosophic about everything from Obama’s Asia trip to his prospects for re-election.
Last month, Castro pronounced it a good thing that the American president was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In September, he termed Obama’s call-to-action on global warming courageous.
See, Obama is bringing people together. Who ever thought an evil Republican fascist racist homophobe like Rick Perry would find himself agreeing with Fidel Castro, the wise elder of the “progressive” movement?

An anagram is a word or phrase created by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The ancients believed the results often revealed hidden truths. And, Dan Brown’s best seller The Lost Symbol demonstrated the importance of the number 33, which makes it even more astonishing that we come up with not 32, not 34, but exactly 33 modern day anagrams. What are the odds?
We normally don’t buy into that kind of mystic claptrap, but by God, it works.

Our position on this is clear: if masturbation becomes part of the curriculum in the United States, we’d rather be in Carrie Prejean’s class than Joycelyn Elders’.
Discretion is our middle name. So we think we’ll just let US Magazine reveal the latest Carrie Prejean news:
Days after Carrie Prejean admitted that she participated in a sex tape and called it “the biggest mistake of my life,” seven additional such videos — all “solo performances” have surfaced starring the de-crowned beauty queen.
In addition, the website says that 30 photographs of Prejean have turned up of the topless and fully nude variety, “most taken by Carrie using her reflection in the mirror.”
Allegedly, in one clip, a moaning Prejean wears “just a flowing white blouse,” touching herself suggestively.
But all is not lost for the former Miss California. Despite the revelation of more sex tapes, Prejean can still be a role model for Spanish teenagers. Because according to the New York Daily News via Fox, Spanish teens are now being taught the “art of self pleasure.”
Teenagers in the Spanish region of Extremadura are being taught the “art” of masturbation, New York’s Daily News reported.
The workshops feature instructions on self-pleasuring, and pamphlets on self-respect and contraception are being handed out, according to a report in The Guardian.The socialist government’s aim is to aid teens with “sexual self-exploration and the discovery of self-pleasure.” The government hopes to remove the “mystique” that surrounds sex.
“The campaign is simple, clear, natural and easily understood by the people it is aimed at, who are aged between 14 and 17,” said Laura Garrido, a youth council president in Extremadura.
This reminds us of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who advocated masturbation education back in the Clinton years.
Our position on this is clear: if masturbation becomes part of the curriculum in the United States, we’d rather be in Carrie Prejean’s class than Joycelyn Elders’.
We’d rush home every night to do our homework. Especially if we could do it while watching some of those Carrie Prejean tapes.
Remember back during the campaign when Obama didn’t quite get the concept of the National Anthem (bottom photo)? Based on recent Veterans Day ceremonies (top photo), he still doesn’t get it.

Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, a Democrat from California, says the government needs to wake up and take a close look at the dangerous religious extremists who live among us. Catholics?
You can sleep soundly tonight, America, secure in the knowledge that Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey is out to get the evil Catholics
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, a Democrat from California, says the government needs to wake up and take a close look at the dangerous religious extremists who live among us.
Congratulations, Congresswomen Woolsey. It’s about time someone challenges those murderous Muslims.
What’s that? Woolsey wasn’t talking about murderous Muslims? She was talking about Catholics?
Yes, sir and yes, maam. Woolsey wants the IRS to investigate the possibility that the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops did something – anything, really – during the ObamaCare debate that might threaten its tax-exempt status. In a direct violation of the separation of church and state, Woolsey is almost praying that the IRS can dig up some dirt.
Job well done, Congresswoman Woolsey. We, too, have had our eye on those Catholics for a long time and we say it’s about time someone else catches on to them.
Those Saturday night bingo games are obviously terrorist fundraisers. And who really knows what the St. Vincent DePaul Society is doing with those old shirts we gave them.
Shape up, Catholics. Uncle Sam knows what you’re up to.

The only reason Barack Obama can go around the world spewing his nonsensical pablum about “engaging our enemies” is because there are American military people willing to engage them in a way those enemies not only understand, but fear.

The fall of the Berlin Wall is one of the most celebrated and iconic events of the late 20th Century. So where’s Barack Obama when the rest of the world is marking the 20th anniversary of the fall?
Obama visited Berlin in better times. (Translation: When it was all about him)
The fall of the Berlin Wall is one of the most celebrated and iconic events of the late 20th Century. So where’s Barack Obama when the rest of the world is marking the 20th anniversary of the fall?
You may recall that before he was elected president, Obama wanted to speak in front of the Wall’s historic Brandenburg Gate. Back then, it was all about Him, not some anniversary party and he wanted to be seen in a historic context. Sadly, his request was denied by German authorities. So candidate Obama had to settle for speaking in front of the Victory Column during his Hope and Change Express World Tour 2008.
Could that be part of the reason why Obama is snubbing Berlin? Who knows?
It’s certainly not because he doesn’t like to travel. “In his first year in office,” Columnist Rich Lowry notes, “Barack Obama has visited more foreign countries than any other president. He’s touched ground in 16 countries, easily outpacing Bill Clinton (three) and George W. Bush (eleven).”
Remember, this is the same president who jetted over to Denmark for ONE HOUR to pitch Chicago for the Olympics. So why miss this historic occasion? Is the health care crisis or the state of climate change really so dire that The One can’t take a day to celebrate the triumph of liberty over tyranny? Can’t he delegate something to Joe Biden?
“His schedule is reportedly too crowded,” Lowry explains.
John F. Kennedy famously told Berliners, ‘Ich bin ein Berliner.’ On the 20th anniversary of the last century’s most stirring triumph of freedom, Obama is telling them, “Ich bin beschäftigt.” That is, “I’m busy.”
All of which begs the question: Where is Obama today anyway? Let us know if you find out what was more important than marking the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Must be a beer summit somewhere. Or a golf course that demanded his undivided attention.
British climate fretter George Monbiot said in the Guardian UK. “Climate change denial is spreading like a contagious disease.
George Monbiot frets that people are finally waking up the the global warming scam
Please allow us to translate: “Aw, crap, the truth is getting out.”
“There is no point in denying it: we’re losing,” says British climate fretter George Monbiot said in the Guardian UK. “Climate change denial is spreading like a contagious disease. It exists in a sphere which cannot be reached by evidence or reasoned argument; any attempt to draw attention to scientific findings is greeted with furious invective. This sphere is expanding with astonishing speed.”
Consider this a crack in the damn, one of the first acknowledgements that all is not well in global warming land.
Wikipedia says Monbiot is “known for his environmental and political activism. He writes a weekly column for The Guardian, and is the author of a number of books, including Captive State: The Corporate Takeover of Britain (2000) and Bring on the Apocalypse: Six Arguments for Global Justice (2008). He is the founder of The Land is Ours campaign, which campaigns peacefully for the right of access to the countryside and its resources in the UK.”
Mr. Monbiot may want to polish up his resume, because his current job selling snake oil will soon be terminated.
It’s a thinly-veiled commentary on the Obama administration. The bad guys are alien reptiles who bear a very strong resemblance to a certain socialist administration.
Even if you aren’t a science fiction fan you should check out “V,” the new series on ABC-TV.
Why? It’s a thinly-veiled commentary on the Obama administration. The bad guys are alien reptiles who bear a very strong resemblance to a certain socialist administration.
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s an excerpt from a review in the Chicago Tribune:
Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: “Why don’t you show some respect?!” The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader’s origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: “Embracing change is never easy.”
So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait — did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who’s come here to eat us?
Welcome to ABC’s “V,” the most fascinating and bound to be the most controversial new show of the fall television season. Nominally a rousing sci-fi space opera about alien invaders bent on the conquest (and digestion) of all humanity, it’s also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president’s supporters and delight his detractors.
ABC has committed to four episodes of “V.” If it does well, they’ll renew it. Unfortunately, the Obama administration can’t be canceled for three more years.
Stepping in when Britain’s socialized medical system failed, American Idol judge Simon Cowell donated nearly $160,000 to help save the life of a cancer-stricken little girl.
Thanks to the miracle of British socialized medicine, it's been proven that Simon Cowell has a heart
Stepping in when Britain’s socialized medical system failed, American Idol judge Simon Cowell donated nearly $160,000 to help save the life of a cancer-stricken little girl.
This report from London’s Daily Mail tells the story:
The pop Svengali donated the money for 18-month-old Sophie Atay–from Birtley, Gateshead–to fly to the US for pioneering treatment at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York.
He acted after learning the youngster’s family launched a last-ditch appeal for £500,000 to pay for the treatment last week after they were told Sophie was suffering from a rare form of neuroblastoma and needed treatment within days.
Now hold on just a gol-danged minute here. There’s something very fishy about this story.
We all know Great Britain is a paradise where socialized medicine has done away with all sickness. So why does this little English girl have to fly halfway around the world to get medical care in the United States? And for god’s sake, why does a wealthy stranger have to pay for it?
This is obviously a phony story cooked up by evil Republicans in an attempt to keep the United States from having a wonderful socialized medical system like Great Britain.
“Cheers” was a very funny television show. But it was a damn drama compared to what Joy Behar puts on the air every Monday to Friday night.

Clearly, Cheers star Ted Danson is too stupid to understand the irony of an entertainer involved in politics complaining that another entertainer is involved in politics.
The combination of Joy Behar’s sparkling wit and Ted Danson’s glittering intelligence is a marvel to behold.
From now on, we will all lead our lives based on the wisdom found in The Ten Commandments According To Barack Obama.

The deification of Barack Obama continues.
Sting says, “He’s sent from God.” Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle of Ghana said there is “a divine plan behind” Obama’s election. “It’s like the biblical story repeating itself,” the Archbishop said, noting the Old Testament story of Joseph, who became a top government official after being sold into slavery.
As a result, the 1900-page ObamaCare bill will probably be the last piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.
After that, we will all lead our lives based on the wisdom handed down in The Ten Commandments According To Barack Obama.
