U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a mission that has not been announced publicly, said the American troops were operating out of a joint operations center on the city’s outskirts and that their role was limited to supporting forces loyal to the country’s fragile unity government.
Couric’s new daytime talk show to be titled “Katie.” We can only guess that “Perky Little Twit” just didn’t focus group as well. Doug Steckler, guesting with Tim Conway Jr on KFI/Los Angeles commented, “No offense, Katie Couric, here’s a tip. If you’re going to get into the TV talk game, be prepared to give away cars. You’re going to have to give away something to get people to watch you.”
MSNBC officially gives Al Sharpton his own daily program: “PoliticsNation”. If you’ve ever wondered just how low MSNBC can go, this should answer the question. Resist we much. Watch we not so much.
Pentagon bans farting in Afghanistan because it offends the natives. In other words, do not allow the Dogs of War to howl. Odd, is it not, that a country shrouded in the stench of camels and goats should be offended by odors that pale in comparison?
World Net Daily: Cost of Michelle Obama’s Africa Trip? Mmm mmm mmm it’s a state secret. So, Judicial watch is now suing to find out. Just the C-32 aircraft for the trip alone was $430,000.
Seeing lessa Contessa: Brewer out at MSNBC. Imagine how you’d feel if your show got cancelled the same week that Al Sharpton secured a daily slot. Credit to Ace of Spades with the best line ever: “She is one of the dumbest, most blatantly biased gutterscrunts on MSNBC; she’s basically Ed Schultz with a smaller rack.”
Unique defense: Underwear Bomber thinks he should be released because the Koran okays killing infidels. Screw you and the goat you road in on, Umar. Oh, wait, screwing goats is also okayed by the Koran. Never mind.
Rick Perry says, “I dislike Washington. I think it’s a seedy place.” No, Rick, Tijuana is a seedy place. Seems to me you’re giving Washington far too much credit.
Still no solar panels on White House because project is mired in the “competitive procurement process.” Might be time for one of those no-bid Halliburton contracts.
Obama’s promise that the stimulus would lower unemployment was “the stupidest thing that basically any administration probably ever said.” Believe it or not, a Democrat said that. To be specific, it was Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY). He has not, apparently, heard that Barack Obama is the most intelligent man who’s ever graced the Oval Office.
US now on recession watch: Q2 GDP revised sharply downward to 1.0%.It’s almost zen-like, isn’t it, that GDP numbers should always be unexpectedly revised downward while unemployment numbers are always unexpectedly revised upward? Ohmmmmmmm. The universe is in balance.
“Irene’s got a middle name, and it’s Global Warming.” Far be it from us to be pedantic, but wouldn’t Irene need a last name in order to have a middle name? Perhaps the folks at the Daily Beast/Newsweek meant to say “Irene has a middle name, and it’s Global.” See, that would make Warming the last name. Irene Global Warming. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. But sense has rarely been a concern at the Daily Beast, so let’s just forget the whole thing.
Washington Times: Romney likes it both ways? Perhaps Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) knows something we don’t about Mitt Romney? Talk about running hot and cold!
It seems that Dallas Fed chief Richard Fisher has a different take on things Keynesian and uses Texas as a shining example:
Obama and his loony tune financial advisers seem to think that doing all things Keynesian will get the economy back on track.
We'd love to see a Rick Perry vs. Jerry Brown death match on the next UFC card
It seems that Dallas Fed chief Richard Fisher has a different take on things and uses Texas as a shining example:
On Wednesday, Richard Fisher, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, gave a speech in which he separated “fact from fiction” about the record of job creation in Texas.
We can help but wonder whose fiction he was talking about?
Texas job gains are a result of pro-growth policies on taxes, spending and regulations: “…people and businesses have been picking up stakes and moving to Texas in significant numbers over a prolonged period… And yet Texas, like all states, is subject to the same monetary policy as all the rest… From this, I draw the conclusion that private sector capital and jobs will go to where taxes and spending and regulatory policy are most conducive to growth.”
Want further proof this guy is right? Look at the financial mess the U.S. is in and look at what’s going on in California, a state losing businesses daily to Texas and other states with better business climates.
Don’t believe us? Let’s send Rick Perry to California and send Jerry Brown to Texas and see what happens. We’d wager millions of unemployed workers in California would soon be working again and Texas would be bankrupt.
They had to pass it to find out what was in it and now it’s been discovered that Obamacare contains an appetite suppressant.
They had to pass it to find out what was in it and now it’s been discovered that Obamacare contains an appetite suppressant. Specifically, the uncertainty the bill creates regarding future healthcare costs suppresses any appetite companies may have for investing money in their operations.
At least, that’s what CKE Restaurants (owner of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr restaurants) CEO Andy Puzder says in this video:
Healthcare is probably the most significant unknown at the moment. People are unsure how much it will impact their business but they know … it will be negative. It’s very hard to model the costs because the [Obamacare] bill was so complex and it’s very difficult to find people that understand it. We have a national healthcare … consultant that we use …. and the range that they gave us for our healthcare costs increasing at CKE restaurants was between $7.3 and $35.1 million dollars. That’s a huge range… Their estimate was that it would increase our healthcare costs by about 18 million dollars. We spent about 9 million dollars last year building new restaurants so that would be totally wiped out.
OK, demolishing the only “achievement” he has to show for his political career ain’t as much fun for Obama as taking bus tours or dropping mega-bucks for a train from Nadaville to Zerotown. But if he’s serious about creating jobs, the surest way is to remove his roadblocks and let those who normally do it, do it. That’s the problem.
Unfortunately, allowing the private sector to create jobs now would mean Obamacare, the Stimulus and all of his Keynesian delusions were wrong. Ensuring high unemployment and blaming his opponents appears to be the strategy around which his 2012 campaign is wrapped.
Obama has to make sure nothing (nor anyone) works.
PS – Your new Carl’s Jr. advertising campaign sucks, Andy. Dull, dull, dull.
Charles Blow, the New York Times columnist who seems to spend his fantasy time fellating Barack Obama, surprised the world by writing something critical about The One.
Charles Blow, the New York Times columnist who seems to spend his fantasy time fellating Barack Obama, surprised the world by writing something critical about The One.
Of course, force of habit required that he spend the first 2/3 of his column setting up the criticism by comparing Republicans to robots but then he did the unthinkable and concluded by nothing Obama’s cold, aloof robotic personality:
Charles Blow, perhaps the most appropriately named man in the world
Blow, Charles, blow:
But one person I never thought would fall into this valley was Barack Obama, the charismatic candidate who electrified the electorate in 2008 and whom many saw as the fulfillment of the dream of the even-more-electrifying Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Yet here Obama is, down in the valley, struggling to connect with the American people and failing, increasingly coming across as dispassionate to some and outright revolting to others.
A robotic Sustainer-in-Chief with an eerie inhumanity will not satisfy.
And we know from countless previous columns that Charles likes to be satisfied by President Obama.
Do the porn attorneys think this guy downloaded their porn flick and then went blind after watching it over and over and over?
Or, at least that sounds like what the attorneys for porn studio Imperial Enterprises, Inc., must think. We mean really, do they think this guy downloaded their porn flick and then went blind after watching it over and over and over?
She's got a great set of dots
In what seems to me to possibly be the stupidest lawsuit we’ve ever seen:
A porn studio is accusing a blind man of illegally downloading the company’s pornographic content.
The blind man, known only as John Doe in the suit, is one of the 3,500 people being sued by California porn studio Imperial Enterprises, Inc.
He claims he was too busy to password-protect his wifi connection and that someone else must have used his network and downloaded the porn in question.
… The firm are now demanding a few thousand dollars from him in a settlement.
Looks to be proof-positive that attorneys are not only sleazebags, they work for sleazebags, too.
What next? Will they check to see if he’s got hairy palms?
In the wake of Britain’s riots, a group of American radicals are planning a “Day of Rage” targeting Wall Street and U.S. capitalism.
Yes, Wall Streeters, you are evidently the next target for anarchy, violence and looting, brought to you by the kind folks at ACORN, SEIU and a host of others who want you to work your ass off so they can reap your rewards and sit on their asses. Just think London riots and you’ll know what we’re talking about.
The latest British fashions are coming soon to Wall Street
World Net Daily channels the rage:
In the wake of Britain’s riots, a group of American radicals are planning a “Day of Rage” targeting Wall Street and U.S. capitalism.
The upcoming protests, replete with a planned tent city in downtown Manhattan, is closely tied to the founders of ACORN and leaders of major U.S. unions, including the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU.
There are indications the protesters are training to incite violence, resist arrest and disrupt the legal system.
The protest aims to take root nationwide.
Activists are advertising on social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter for a “Day of Rage” on Sept. 17 to begin with the “occupation” of Wall Street and continue with protests across the nation.
It will be interesting to see if Mayor Bloomberg sits on his ass while New York burns or if he’ll do something needed like sic the whole NYPD on these clowns.
It’s amusing (and when we say amusing we mean sickening) that when the liberals don’t get their way they go from 0 to violence in 7 seconds, something they accuse conservatives of doing.
In psychology it’s called projection. It blogging it’s called unadulterated bullshit.
