HuffPo writer claims gays are being beheaded
in the American South

OK, so maybe Huffington Post writer Johann Hari didn’t exactly say gays were being beheaded in the Deep South, but that’s exactly what he implied by saying that the Deep South one of the most homophobic places on Earth.

State sanctioned execution of homosexuals in <s>Alabama</s> <s>Mississippi</s> Iran
State sanctioned execution of homosexuals in Alabama Mississippi Iran

OK, so maybe Huffington Post writer Johann Hari didn’t exactly say gays were being beheaded in the Deep South, but that’s exactly what he implied by saying that the Deep South one of the most homophobic places on Earth.

This bizarre assertion came in an article that defended Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen’s movie about a gay Austrian fashion designer:

The joke isn’t on gay people; it’s on the bigots who, when confronted with this creation, believe he is real, and typical of gays. Baron Cohen literally risked his life to make the point. He went to some of the most homophobic places on earth — the refugee camps of the Middle East, and the Deep South of the US — and behaved as a gargoyle drawn from the subconscious fears of homophobes.

There you have it. Homophobia is as bad in the American South as it is in the Middle East. Except for one thing. Unless we’re mistaken, they’re only comparable in the twisted mind of Johann Hari.

Hari should read what the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association says about homosexuality in Islamic countries:

Homosexuality is illegal in most Muslim countries and punishable by death in several. Amnesty International, Homan (an exiled Iranian group) and other human rights groups regularly report shocking abuses and crimes against homosexuals. For example, in April 2001, nine gay men were given prison terms of 4 to 5 years with 2400 to 2600 lashes in Saudi Arabia. Abdul Sami (18) and Bismillah (22) were killed by the Taliban by having a wall toppled on them in 1998. In 2001, 52 men were arrested following a party on a river boat and charged with “immoral behaviour” and “contempt of religion” in Egypt (a supposedly “moderate” Islamic country). Many were given prison sentences with hard labour.

Iran has been particularly enthusiastic in its persecution of homosexuals. Estimates of the numbers of gay and lesbian people this evil regime has murdered range from hundreds to thousands but, as many executions are not public, and bereaved families may cover up the reasons out of shame, the higher estimates are plausible. Those cases that have been publicised include three gay men and two lesbians beheaded in January 1990, and 70 people executed in the early 1980s for trying to set up a lesbian and gay organisation. The Iranian Chief Justice, Morteza Moghtadai, justified the 1990 beheadings by saying, “The religious punishment for the despicable act of homosexuality is death for both parties.” False, trumped-up charges of homosexuality are also used to suppress political opponents, as happened to Dr Ali Mozaffarian, a Sunni Muslim leader executed in Shiraz in 1992.

Now we readily admit that we can’t read every newspaper in the world every day. So we may have missed the stories about gays being beheaded in Alabama and lesbians sentenced to hard labor in Mississippi.

Or maybe there’s another possibility:

Perhaps the HuffPo writer is as prejudiced against Southerners as he claims Southerners are against homosexuals.

Alford-Boxer Part II: “She assumed that I’m going to be some little ignorant jigaboo”

Black Chamber of Commerce Leader Harry Alford isn’t done with Barbara Boxer. Not by a long shot. Alford called Boxer a racist, obnoxious and caustic. He said, “She assumed that I’m going to be some little, ignorant jigaboo.”

Black Chamber of Commerce Leader Harry Alford isn’t done with Barbara Boxer. Not by a long shot.

During an interview with John Ziegler on KGIL/Los Angeles, Alford called Boxer a racist, obnoxious and caustic. He said, “She assumed that I’m going to be some little, ignorant jigaboo.”

If you look back at the Senate hearing where Barbara Boxer and Harry Alford went at it, you might add vacuous and condescending. And if you’re really on a roll, you might add that she’s desperately in need of Nancy Pelosi’s botox dealer.

But that would be catty and totally beneath us.

10 reasons Hillary Clinton is absolutely nothing like Chucky

TMZ.com recently noted that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton looks just Chucky, star of “Child’s Play” movies and its sequels. On behalf of Chucky, we must protest this vile comparison.

hillary-chucky

TMZ.com recently noted that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (left) looks just Chucky (right), star of “Child’s Play” movies and its sequels.

On behalf of Chucky, we must protest this vile comparison. Other than the striking resemblence between the two, they have virtually nothing in common.

In fact, here are ten ways they are completely unalike:

1. Chucky returned from the dead in “Bride of Chucky.” Hillary’s political career died forever when she lost to Barack Obama.

2. Chucky was killed in Chicago. Hillary was born in Chicago.

3. Chucky tries to frame the innocent, but Hillary tries to free the guilty.

4. Chucky became more human as the years went on.

5. Chucky killed a doctor in “Child’s Play.” Hillary killed healthcare in 1993.

6. Chucky has a heart (as revealed in “Child’s Play”).

7. Chucky is a demented doll. Hillary is not a doll.

8. Chucky electrocuted his girlfriend after she waited for him faithfully for eight years. Hillary shocked the world by staying with her husband after he was unfaithful to her.

9. Chucky blamed all his problems on an accomplice named Eddie Caputo. Hillary blames all her problems on a vast right wing conspiracy.

10. Chucky is evil incarnate. Hillary is…well…uhhh…what do you know…we could only come up with nine reasons.

Good news! We’ve finally found a member of Congress dumber than Nancy Pelosi

Missouri’s Democrat Congressman Russ Carnahan, for his role as Barack Obama’s pathetic bootlicking Obamacare lacky, is the dumbest congressperson.

And the award goes to…Missouri’s Democrat Congressman Russ Carnahan for his role as Barack Obama’s pathetic bootlicking lacky.

Carnahan recently held a meeting in his home district to drum up support for ObamaCare.

“The overall cost of the package has been estimated at about a trillion dollars over ten years,” Carnahan said. “About half of that comes from savings and efficiencies in the system.”

The audience broke into laughter.

Undeterred by reality, Carnahan continued. “The congressional budget office most recently came out and analyzed the current plan and said that it was not only deficit neutral, which has been one of the important factors for the president and congressional leaders,” Carnahan continued, “but also that over ten years would create a six billion dollar surplus.”

The audience broke into even more raucous laughter.

Carnahan continued his unintentional laughfest when someone – apparently blogger Kevin Jackson of TheBlackSphere.net – hollered out the logical question, “If it’s so good why doesn’t Congress have to be on it?”

Why, indeed, Congressman?

Warning: Do not call Buzz Aldrin a coward or a liar

79-year old Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin punched out a conspiracy nut who didn’t believe he went to the moon.

Buzz Aldrin was a fighter pilot and Apollo 11 astronaut who walked on the moon. Doesn’t matter that he’s now 79-years old because he’s still a tough sumbitch, as one of those we-never-went-to-the-moon conspiracy wackos discovered when he approached Aldrin and called him a coward and a liar.

Aldrin responded with a quick punch and the wacko started seeing stars that no astronaut has ever seen.

Way to go, Buzz.

Ted Nugent says, “I don’t like repeat offenders. I like dead offenders.”

Ted Nugent starts off by calling Hilary Clinton, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein “a gaggle of numbnuts,” but that’s just a warm-up for other comments.

Always-entertaining and refreshingly-blunt rock star Ted Nugent, also known as the Motor City Madman, talks about the Second Amendment with Texas Monthly’s Evan Smith.

A heartwarming video that will almost make you forgive Massachusetts for Kennedy & Kerry

The scene was Fenway Park in Boston on July 4. The Red Sox had invited a disabled young man to sing the Star Spangled Banner.

The scene was Fenway Park in Boston on July 4. The Red Sox had invited a disabled young man to sing the Star Spangled Banner.

It only took a note or two for the crowd to realize he wasn’t a professional singer. He missed a word or two, laughed nervously and then…a sell-out crowd of 40,000 joined in and helped him complete the anthem.

It’ll bring tears to your eyes. But not in the same way that Kerry and Kennedy do.

Janeane Garofalo bombs in Britain, walks off stage when no one laughs

Janeane Garofalo cut short her Saturday afternoon set in Latitude’s comedy tent because of the poor reception she was given by the audience.

Discerning British comedy fans gave Janeane Garofalo a sitting non-ovation

In honor of our long-standing, warm relationship with the Brits, we sincerely hope no one actually paid good money to see Janeane Garofalo based on the concept that she might be funny.

Here’s how Uncut UK describes the cold reception she got at the hands of discerning British comedy fans:

Janeane Garofalo cut short her Saturday afternoon set in Latitude’s comedy tent because of the poor reception she was given by the audience. The American comedienne’s rare UK live appearance was expected to be one of the highlights in a strong comic line-up, but she failed to win over the festival crowd.

Best known to TV viewers as talent booker Paula in The Larry Sanders Show and political campaigner Louise in the final series of The West Wing, Garofalo was due perform for half an hour, but left the stage after less than ten minutes when her routine about post-9/11 security checks at airports met with stony silence.

“It’s not you, I blame myself for this,” she said before leaving the stage. The gap her abrupt exit left in the schedule was filled by the next act Ed Byrne agreeing to go on early. He opened his own routine with a question for the event promoters; “Now that I’m doing a longer set, can I have some of Janeane’s money?”

Garofalo did regain her sense of humor during an interview on the BBC when she said, “Mostly the media in the States is much more to the right. I mean there is almost no liberal outlet for news commentary and editorializing.”

To paraphrase Kenny Bania, Jerry Seinfeld’s unfunny comedian friend, “That’s gold, Janeane, gold.”

Turks create craziest reality TV show ever: Conversion or No Conversion

Tovbekarlar Yarisiyor pits a Muslim imam, Catholic priest, Jewish rabbi and Buddhist monk against each other in an attempt to convert 10 atheists to their religion.

"I'll take 'Suicide Vests" for $2000, Alex."
“I’ll take ‘Suicide Vests” for $2000, Alex.”

The lucky winner of a new reality show on Turkish TV and you win the biggest prize ever: eternal salvation.

“Tovbekarlar Yarisiyor” (“Penitents Compete”) pits a Muslim imam, Catholic priest, Jewish rabbi and Buddhist monk against each other (like that hasn’t been done for thousands of years) in an attempt to convert 10 atheists to their religion.

If you thought that was odd, wait until you hear the prize. The winning contestants will be given a pilgrimage to their new faith’s most sacred site —Mecca for Muslims, Jerusalem for Jews, Tibet for Buddhists, or the Vatican for Catholics.

What makes this show so remarkable is that it’s the first time in the history of television that network executives have thought of worshipping anything other than the almighty buck.

Hilarious music video simultaneously parodies R&B singers and ObamaCare

French “youths” riot, burn cars. Were they (a) Baptist, (b) Catholic, (c) Jewish, or (d) none of the above

French (muslims) youths burned 317 cars and wounded 13 police officers overnight during the now traditional bout of street violence on the eve of the Bastille Day national holiday, police say

French youths (Muslims) demonstrating their youthful (Muslim) exuberance
French youths (Muslims) demonstrating their youthful (Muslim) exuberance

Please allow us to translate a story from France, reported by the BBC, found in an Australian newspaper, but generally ignored in the United States.

French youths burned 317 cars and wounded 13 police officers overnight during the now traditional bout of street violence on the eve of the Bastille Day national holiday, police say.

Paris police said 240 people had been arrested, almost double the number held after unrest on the same day last year.

The injured officers are suffering from hearing difficulties caused by home-made explosives blowing up beside them.

Last week, the death of a young man in police custody caused three nights of riots in the southern town of Firminy.

Police said Mohamed Benmouna, a 21-year-old of Algerian origin, had died after trying to hang himself in a cell earlier in the week.

So when you strip away the politically-correct reportage, you understand that “French youths” is an euphemism that actually means “Muslim youths.” You know, the same ones who’ve begun the delightful tradition of rioting and burning cars to celebrate the freedom they’ve found in France.

But, of course, it might offend some “French youths” if that story were to be reported…uhhh…accurately.

Sotomayor’s “inspiration” consistently prosecuted innocent people

Sonia Sotomayor said she had been inspired to become a prosecutor by Hamilton Burger, the fictional District Attorney character in the old Perry Mason TV show. Burger was consistently wrong, gleefully prosecuting innocent people in 206 of those programs.

There was a very strange moment in Sonia Sotomayor’s Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday.

The Supreme Court nominee said she had been inspired to become a prosecutor by Hamilton Burger, the fictional District Attorney character in the old Perry Mason TV show.

Sotomayor told Democrat Senator Amy Klobucher of Minnesota that she first knew she wanted to be a prosecutor while watching the TV show “Perry Mason” as a child.

She recalled that at the end of one case, after another of Mason’s clients had been proven innocent of Burger’s trumped-up charges, “Perry said to the prosecutor, ‘It must cause you some pain having expended all that effort and to have the charges dismissed.’

“And the prosecutor looked up and said, ‘No, my job as a prosecutor is to do justice, and justice is served when a guilty man is convicted and an innocent man is not.’ And I thought to myself, that’s quite amazing, to be able to serve that role.”

“My point,” she added, “is that it is such a wonderful part of being a prosecutor…That TV character said something that motivated my choices in life.”

In the words of Hamilton Burger, “We object.”

The Hamilton Burger character appeared in 207 episodes of the old Perry Mason TV show. He was consistently wrong, gleefully prosecuting innocent people in 206 of those programs. In the 207th episode, “The Case of the Deadly Verdict” Mason was eventually able to prove that his client has been wrong convicted and the worked tirelessly to have the decision overturned.

We would have been far more impressed if she said she had been inspired by the Perry Mason character – the rich, successful attorney who frequently worked without payment to see that justice was done. Instead, Sotomayor was inspired by the character who enthusiastically prosecuted innocent people week after week for ten years.

But it certainly helps explain why the Supreme Court has overturned so many of Sotomayor’s decisions.

Let’s just call it “The Case of the Leftist Latina.”

First pitch at all-star game symbolic of Obama’s presidency: It came up a bit short

The President doesn’t throw like a little girl. actually Obama throws like a little sissy boy. Here’s the pitch at the MLB All-Star game.

Couple weeks ago, we caught all kinds of flack for saying Obama throws like a girl.

“You’re being unfair,” the left wing howled. “Wait ‘til you see him throw out the first pitch at baseball’s all-star game.” Okay, let’s look:

Now that we’ve seen the pitch, we take it all back. The President doesn’t throw like a little girl. He actually throws like a little sissy boy.

Contrast “Lefty” Obama’s wimpy pitch with the one “Righty” George Bush made at the 2001 World Series. Obama threw a big ol’ lob that fell short of the plate. Despite the fact that Cardinals star Albert Pujols positioned himself to receive the pitch in front of the plate, it still fell short and had to be scooped out of the dirt. Bush zinged one right down the middle of the plate.

Once again, the right wing proves superior to the left wing.

Korshid is a Saudi scientist, faculty member at King Abdul Aziz University and President of the Tissues Culture Unit at King Fahd Center for Medical Research. After five years of research, she has announced that nano-particles in camel urine can be used to fight cancer.

Dr. Khorshid says she was inspired by medical advice given by the Prophet Muhammad in the Koran.

“This treatment is not an invention,” she said, “but rather, taken from our Prophet’s legacy.”

Al Gore rewrites history, London Times rewrites Al Gore

Al Gore compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis, who are apparently today’s global warming realists.

Al Gore's vision of global warming realists

What is it with newspapers named “The Times?” No mater where they may be located, they seem to do whatever necessary to support liberals. Even the Times of London is now marching in lockstep with the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.

Al Gore was in England last week to issue his latest doom and gloom proclamation. The Times of London first reported his speech this way:

Al Gore today compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis.

Nazis? Global warming realists are now like Nazis?

Five hours later, the Times story had magically been rewritten, the comparison of global warming realists to Nazis had been removed, and Gore had been recast to appear much more statesman-like:

Al Gore invoked the spirit of Winston Churchill today by encouraging political leaders to follow the example of Britain’s wartime leader and unite their nations to fight climate change.

Where’d those global warming Nazis go? Probably off to kill a few polar bears.

Bush looked into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul, then captured his heart

Apparently, Vladimir Putin hasn’t been watching MSNBC. He doesn’t seem to know that America’s friends and foes alike are supposed to hate George Bush.

Putin sent warm birthday greetings to the supposedly universally-hated Bush just hours before meeting with the supposedly universally-loved Barack Obama.

“During the last years we have been working on strengthening Russia-U.S. cooperation. Although there were differences between our countries, I always valued your openness and sincerity,” Putin said. “With special warmth I recall your hospitality in the Crawford ranch and your family estate in Kennebunkport.”

“I’ll never forget that night we spent together watching Brokeback Mountain,” he added. “And talking until the sun came up.”

Note: We made that last paragraph up. Vladimir Putin could kick our scrawny blogging asses and we sincerely apologize for any embarrassment our snide comments may cause him.

Inappropriate title: Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” is admitted communist

One would think it newsworthy if the President of the United States Barack Obama appointed Van Jones, an admitted communist, to a key position as Green Jobs Czar in his administration. Wouldn’t one?

Van Jones Communist Green Jobs Czar
Is Van Jones is a watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside

One would think it newsworthy if the President of the United States appointed an admitted communist to a key position in his administration. Wouldn’t one?

Then how can it be explained that the media has given virtually no attention to the political beliefs of Van Jones, the man President Obama has named “Green Jobs Czar”?

Jones is William Ayers without the bombs. He’s the ultimate watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside.

Here’s how the East Bay Express described the Van Jones’ background:

[Van] Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.'” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.”

And Van Jones is a member in good standing of the Obama administration, one of “czars” appointed by Obama who reports only to Obama and who, therefore, never had to withstand the rigors of a senate confirmation process.

Michelle Obama turns children into sharecroppers, then tries to poison them

Michelle Obama invited a group of Washington, DC school children to plant a vegetable garden on the White House lawn, turning them into sharecroppers who could be poisoned.

White House chef cracking the whip on crew of child sharecroppers
White House chef cracking the whip on crew of child sharecroppers

On April 9, Michelle Obama invited a group of Washington, DC school children to plant a vegetable garden on the White House lawn.

Of course, this was done with the greatest possible hoopla, the press telling us how amazing it was that this stunning fashion icon would actually stoop to get dirt under her perfectly-manicured fingernails.

On June 21, the children were brought back to the White House to harvest lettuce, onions, tomatoes and other vegan delights.

Wikipedia says, “Sharecropping is a system of agriculture or agricultural production in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crop produced on the land (e.g., 50 percent of the crop).”

So in a strange parody of post-Civil War agronomics, small children were brought in to supply free labor to plant and harvest vegetables that the First Family will now dine on daily. We scoured the news reports of the harvest and could find no references to the children being allowed to take home any of the fruits vegetables of their labors. However, they did get to snack on some of them after the harvest was complete.

But it gets worse.

On July 2, it was reported that the soil in the White House vegetable garden may hold enough lead to poison the child gardeners who worked in it and anyone who eats what’s been grown in it.

The White House, of course, says it’s no problem. They had the soil tested and the results show lead content of 93 parts per million. That’s higher than what’s typically found in urban areas, but not high enough to be considered a health risk.
 


“The garden recently underwent extensive soil testing that proved it is completely safe,” said the First Lady’s press secretary.

Will the United Farmworkers Union protest the White House’s use of non-unionized farm labor?

Will child welfare advocates protest the White House’s forced child labor policy?

Will eco-wackos protest the White House’s callous disregard of food safety regulations?

Stay tuned.

Obama’s secret to solar energy: ex-convicts

“Obama’s ‘Green jobs’ adviser Van Jones a leftist agenda as a panacea for all of society’s problems: train to make solar cells, helping to harvest the sun, heal the land, and repair our souls.

Obama nuclear arms reduction policy was developed by know-it-all college student

Researchers have come across a magazine article written 26 years ago by Columbia student Barack Obama. Full transcript here. It was the height of the Cold War and Obama came up with a plan for the two super powers to “dial down the danger humanity faces.” In short, nuclear disarmament.

Barack Obama Breaking the War Mentailty, 1983 Columbia Magazine article page 1 of 3

Would you feel safer knowing that your nation’s nuclear policy was dreamed up by a naïve college student? We hope your answer was “yes,” because that’s exactly where you find yourself today.

The President is in Russia to work out a deal on nuclear arms reduction. It’s part of his long time vision of a nuclear-free world – the same vision he’s had since he was smoking dope and getting high in college.

One would hope that our leaders would become more sophisticated in their thinking as the years roll on and they gain maturity. But no such luck with Obama.

We don’t mind if the President wants to live in the past as long as it doesn’t interfere with us living in the future.

Following is the entire magazine article, typed out from a poster at the Free Republic:

Michelle Obama spent more on her purse this month than you spent on your mortgage payment. A lot more.

Michelle Obama was spotted carrying a $5950 black alligator manila clutch made in Italy from the skin of an endangered alligator. So much for J Crew and Gap.

First of all, we must make a correction. It wasn’t a purse. It was a $5950 black alligator manila clutch made in Italy from the skin of an endangered alligator.

OK, we have to make another correction. We don’t actually know if alligators are endangered, but this particular alligator is definitely not basking in sunshine anymore.

Enough corrections. Let’s get to the story.

If you were strolling through the woods outside Moscow, you might carry a backpack and a compass. Not First Lady Michelle Obama. No, she showed off her expensive tastes in fashion by carrying that aforementioned $5950 black alligator manila clutch.

We’re not fluent in Italian, but as far as we can tell “manila clutch” is an Italian term that means “Crazy American with too much money.”

The First Lady has completely abandoned the pretense that she wears affordable American brands such as Gap and J.Crew. That story went up in a puff of smoke on election night and she’s rarely spotted anymore without some expensive designer bauble.

Michelle’s clutch was handmade in Italy VBH, the luxury leather goods company. And you’ll be happy to know it’s part of their Spring 2009 collection.

Michelle Obama. Today, First Lady. Tomorrow, Czarina.
