Either this is the greatest health plan in history or Harry Reid is over-promising with this post-ObamaCare vote comment.
The good news is that you'll live forever. The bad news is that Harry Reid will live forever.
Either this is the greatest health plan in history or Harry Reid is over-promising with this post-ObamaCare vote comment:
“Today we vote whether to even discuss one of the greatest issues of our generation – indeed, one of the greatest issues this body has ever face: whether this nation will finally guarantee its people the right to live free from the fear of illness and death, which can be prevented by decent health care for all.”
Live free from the fear of illness and death?
Well, hell, why didn’t the Democrats just mention immortality in the first place? Now that we understand the miracles to be wrought by ObamaCare, we’re behind it 110%. Maybe 115%.

George Monbiot, the Grand Poobah of British global warming society, is horrified by the growing email scandal.
Just a few months ago he warned that global warming denial was spreading like a contagious disease. Now he appears to have come down with a mild case of it himself.
It’s no use pretending this isn’t a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I’m dismayed and deeply shaken by them.
Yes, the messages were obtained illegally. Yes, all of us say things in emails that would be excruciating if made public. Yes, some of the comments have been taken out of context. But there are some messages that require no spin to make them look bad. There appears to be evidence here of attempts to prevent scientific data from being released, and even to destroy material that was subject to a freedom of information request.
Worse still, some of the emails suggest efforts to prevent the publication of work by climate sceptics, or to keep it out of a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I believe that the head of the unit, Phil Jones, should now resign.
Now we’re waiting to hear something as honest from Al Gore. (Please forgive us for using the mutually exclusive words “honest” and “Gore” in the same sentence.)
Within a 12-hour period, Saturday Night Live did a scathing skit about his profligate spending. Chris Matthews compared him to Jimmy Carter. And to complete the trifecta, Maureen Dowd, New York Times columnist and queen of Inside-the-Beltway Liberals, penned a devastating review of the Obama presidency.
Is Maureen Dowd on the leading edge of liberals fleeing from Barack Obama?
It was a bad weekend in the media for Barack Obama. A very bad weekend, indeed.
Within a 12-hour period, Saturday Night Live did a scathing skit about his profligate spending. Chris Matthews compared him to Jimmy Carter. And to complete the trifecta, Maureen Dowd, New York Times columnist and queen of Inside-the-Beltway Liberals, penned this devastating review of the Obama presidency:
If we could see a Reduced Shakespeare summary of Obama’s presidency so far, it would read:
Dither, dither, speech. Foreign trip, bow, reassure. Seminar, summit. Shoot a jump shot with the guys, throw out the first pitch in mom jeans. Compromise, concede, close the deal. Dither, dither, water down, news conference.
Oh, one more thing while we’re at it: Gallup confirmed that Obama’s approval rating has now dropped below 50%.
How quickly things change. Just a couple weeks ago, the liberal media was fretting that Obama was losing the independents. Now the liberal media is fretting that he’s losing the liberals.
In what can only be called a desperate attempt on our part to connect this story to Thanksgiving we would like to note that President Obama’s approval rating has hit an all-time low on the same day that the day that the Indian leader is visiting the White House.

Get it? Thanksgiving? Indians?
Yeah, it was a stretch, but we’re already in holiday mode and that’s the best you’re going to get out of us today.
So let’s let Rasmussen give you the details:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama.
Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 68% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, just 16% Strongly Approve and 51% Strongly Disapprove.
Minus 15. Ahhh, this is going to be a glorious Thanksgiving. Glorious, indeed.
Fox Sports has suspended Los Angeles Clippers announcers Ralph Lawler and Mike Smith for one game. What did they do to merit the unscheduled vacation? We’re not quite sure.
Fox Sports has suspended Los Angeles Clippers announcers Ralph Lawler and Mike Smith for one game. What did they do to merit the unscheduled vacation? We’re not quite sure.
Whatever it was, only one viewer complained about it. But that was apparently enough to scare the bejeezus out of Fox.
Here’s the damning conversation that supposedly merited the suspension:
Smith: “Look who’s in.” Lawler: “Hamed Haddadi. Where’s he from?” Smith: “He’s the first Iranian to play in the NBA.” Lawler: “There aren’t any Iranian players in the NBA.” Smith: “He’s the only one.” Lawler: “He’s from Iran?” Smith: “I guess so.” Lawler: “That Iran?” Smith: “Yes.” Lawler: “The real Iran?” Smith: “Yes.” Lawler: “Wow. Haddadi – that’s H-A-D-D-A-D-I.” Smith: “You’re sure it’s not Borat’s older brother?” Smith: “If they ever make a movie about Haddadi, I’m going to get Sacha Baron Cohen to play the part.” Lawler: “Here’s Haddadi. Nice little back-door pass. I guess those Iranians can pass the ball.”
Clipper season ticket holder Arya Towfighi was watching the game with his young son when the conversation between Lawler and Smith occurred.
Towfighi was so offended that he escorted the lad out of the room before replaying the comments. “I didn’t want my son to hear that,” he said. After watching the replay, the outraged Iranian emailed complaints to Clippers and Fox Sports executives. For good measure, he shot one off to the Los Angeles Times, too.
Cyrus Hadavi, a spokesman for the Alliance of Iranian Americans in L.A., was equally horrified. He was left “kind of speechless. In this day and age, why would someone say something like this? Were they trying to offend a whole nation?”
For the life of us, we can’t figure out what was so offensive about the sportscasters commentary.
Here’s our bottom line: Lawler has been the Clippers announcer for 31 years. Anyone who’s been forced to watch this pathetic team for that long should be given dispensation to say just about any damn thing he wants.
Martha Stewart, convicted felon and the most amazingly boring person in the history of television, thinks Sarah Palin is boring and dangerous. Oddly enough, that makes us like Palin even more.
Martha Stewart, convicted felon and the most amazingly boring person in the history of television, thinks Sarah Palin is boring and dangerous. Oddly enough, that makes us like Palin even more.
Here’s what the genius had to say in an interview with Showbiz Tonight’s producer Jenny D’Attoma:
D’Attoma: Now, on to Sarah Palin, why do you think she’s so polarizing to so many people?
Stewart: She’s a very boring to me. Very boring, and a very, to me, kind of a, a dangerous person. I mean, to, she’s dangerous.
D’Attoma: In what way?
Stewart: She speaks, she’s, she’s so confused. And anyone like that in government is a real problem.
D’Attoma: Meanwhile, they’re saying her book is already a bestseller. Do you find it…
Stewart: Good for her. Good for her.
D’Attoma: Have you been able to catch Sarah Palin’s interviews?
Stewart: Why’s everybody asking that? I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t watch her if you paid me.
Last time we checked out the legs of Martha Stewart and Sarah Palin, only one of them was wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. It wasn’t Palin.
Barack Obama’s personal storm troopers, also known as Organizing For America, held a contest to create a commercial promoting ObamaCare. Oh, excuse us, they call it “health insurance reform.”
Barack Obama’s personal storm troopers, also known as Organizing For America, held a contest to create a commercial promoting ObamaCare. Oh, excuse us, they call it “health insurance reform.”
This, believe it or not, is the winner. Yet another of those stupid left wing commercials in which supposedly “real” children preach to adults.
Can we ask a question? What kind of weak-minded moron has ever had his opinion swayed on any subject by the persuasive powers of a seven year old?
We hope Organizing for America spends a lot of money running this commercial everywhere. In fact, we’ll gladly take their money if they want to run it on IHateTheMedia.com.
Hell, OFA’s money is as good as anyone’s. Not that anyone’s is worth all that much these days.
For the last two years Chris Matthews has acted as if Barack Obama is the second coming of Christ. Now even Matthews seems to recognize that he’s the second coming of Jimmy Carter.
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the guy who once got a tingle up the leg at the mere thought of Barack Obama now suggests the President may be “Carteresque.” And there’s no way to interpret that as a compliment.
Here’s a transcript of Matthews conversation with David Ignatius and Anne Kornblut of the Washington Post:
Matthews: Welcome back. The word these days is optics, visuals, signals. In the Carter presidency, the optics were not exactly robust, and Ronald Reagan rode that to a big victory in 1980. Is the Obama White House sending some Carteresque signals these days? Some see that in the deep bow to the Emperor of Japan, an unforced error say critics. Then there was, there was what happened in China: Obama got nothing in the way of concessions over there in spite of playing the polite visitor. And his effort to speak directly to the Chinese was jammed by the government. Third, that decision to try the terrorists up in that federal court in New York City. Again, nothing that had to be done, and critics say it shows that Obama, his team doesn’t understand this is a war we’re in. David, that’s the question. These optics are everything in a president. Carter used to carry that garment bag over his shoulder. This president is he making mistakes like in China like in Japan?
Ignatius: I think he is coming across as stiff. He is talking too much sometimes and communicating too little. So the opposite of what we saw during the campaign. Although the decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York apparently was Eric Holder’s, it strikes me that it really is a mistake. I mean, there are too many bad things that could happen. There is no reason to have to have done this. And, you know, it’s a political feel for decision-making. That wonderful thing you just did about President Johnson’s feel for the moment. That’s what I think is missing now with this group in the White House. I don’t know where it’s gone. They certainly had it during the campaign. Maybe they’ll get it back. But it’s missing now.
Matthews: It’s the political touch. You were in China. You just got back. Tell me about that. The president tried to speak to the Chinese people and apparently it was jammed. Tell me about that.
Kornblut: This was the big moment of the whole trip to Asia in fact, eight days in Asia he was going to speak to Chinese students in Shanghai unfiltered at least in his answers, and in fact the Chinese government, you know, they allowed the event to take place, but it was only shown locally on Shanghai television. People didn’t see it. The one piece of news he made in it saying that the internet should be free and people should have access dribbled out to the Chinese public and then started being deleted from all the Chinese websites. So, then, the following day he held a quote unquote press conference with the Chinese President Hu Jintao in which there were no questions and they read statements. Now, this is of course, this is the Chinese, it’s their home turf. They were allowed to do what they wanted to. That was the White House’s argument. And the White House haggled with them to get it more open.
Matthews: The White House got jammed here. Did they know this was coming, that it wouldn’t get to the people?
Kornblut: Sure. They knew, previous presidents had been allowed to reach the Chinese public. They knew that it might or might not. It did. But they didn’t have to stand there at a press conference, call it a press conference, and not answer questions. And I think they’re expect, they may have raised expectations a little for how much they were going to be able to do.
For the last two years Chris Matthews has acted as if Barack Obama is the second coming of Christ. Now even Matthews seems to recognize that he’s the second coming of Jimmy Carter.
We’re conflicted. We don’t know whether to laugh or laugh really hard.
Leave it to a bunch of hackers and a Russian server to reveal that a cabal of environmental theorists may be fudging the figures on the amount of climate change that the world is actually enduring.
Al Gore's new book "Our Choice" may refer to climate change researchers choice of stats that only back their claims
“Follow the money.”
That’s the motto investigative journalists chant when they’re delving into the lives of Republican politicians or big, nasty corporations. But that motto doesn’t appear to apply to left-leaning figures or causes like heroic climate change theorists or climate change research programs, which, as it happens is the biggest gold rush of grants, donations, and government funding that has ever hit academia since the Ice Age scare of the 1970s.
Leave it to a bunch of hackers and a Russian server to reveal that a cabal of environmental theorists may be fudging the figures on the amount of climate change that the world is actually enduring.
According to the New York Times:
The e-mail messages, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments — in some cases derisive — about specific people known for their skeptical views.
The emails also refer to a “trick” on how climate temperature statistics can be manipulated to show more dramatic increases.
In a 1999 e-mail exchange about charts showing climate patterns over the last two millenniums, Phil Jones, a longtime climate researcher at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, said he had used a “trick” employed by another scientist, Michael Mann, to “hide the decline” in temperatures.
A Penn State researcher we know says a “trick” is not a secret, but a scien-terrific term for solving a problem. And perhaps that problem is the possibility that funds to investigate phony climate-change claims would one day dry up.

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.
Barack Obama believes in free speech for Communists, but not so much for Republicans.
Well, sure, he believes in free speech for Communists, but not so much for Republicans.
“Mr. Obama used the forum at Shanghai’s Museum of Science and Technology to make a plea for a free flow of information, saying it makes societies stronger and holds political leaders accountable. People in positions of power may bristle at criticism, he said, but open criticism ‘makes our democracy stronger, and it makes me a better leader because it forces me to hear opinions that I don’t want to hear.'” – Wall Street Journal, November 16
“Speaking privately at the White House on Monday with a group of mostly liberal columnists and commentators, including Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Bob Herbert of The New York Times, Mr. Obama himself gave vent to sentiments about [Fox News Channel], according to people briefed on the conversation.” – New York Times, October 23

Sure, the communist nation of China, dedicated to our downfall, is a source of strength. But that damn Fox News, on the other hand, those SOBs are the enemy.

SEC. 2006. SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT TO FMAP DETERMINATION FOR CERTAIN STATES RECOVERING FROM A MAJOR DISASTER.
Section 1905 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d), as amended by sections 2001(a)(3) and
2001(b)(2), is amended— (1) in subsection (b), in the first sentence, by striking ‘‘subsection (y)’’ and inserting ‘‘subsections (y) and (aa)’’; and (2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
‘‘(aa)(1) Notwithstanding subsection (b), beginning January 1, 2011, the Federal medical assistance percentage for a fiscal year for a disaster-recovery FMAP adjustment State shall be equal to the following:
‘(A) In the case of the first fiscal year (or part of a fiscal year) for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), increased by 50 percent of the number of percentage points by which the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year after the application of only subsection (a) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5 (if applicable to the preceding fiscal year) and without regard to this subsection, subsection (y), and subsections (b) and (c) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5.
‘‘(B) In the case of the second or any succeeding fiscal year for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the preceding fiscal year under this subsection for the State, increased by 25 percent of the number of percentage points by which the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year under this subsection.
‘‘(2) In this subsection, the term ‘disaster-recovery FMAP adjustment State’ means a State that is one of
the 50 States or the District of Columbia, for which, at any time during the preceding 7 fiscal years, the President has declared a major disaster under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act and determined as a result of such disaster that every county or parish in the State warrant individual and public assistance or public assistance from the Federal Government under such Act and for which— ‘‘(A) in the case of the first fiscal year (or part of a fiscal year) for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year after the application of only subsection (a) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5 (if applicable to the preceding fiscal year) and without regard to this subsection, subsection (y), and subsections (b) and (c) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5, by at least 3 percentage points; and ‘‘(B) in the case of the second or any succeeding fiscal year for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year under this subsection by at least 3 percentage points.
‘‘(3) The Federal medical assistance percentage determined for a disaster-recovery FMAP adjustment State under paragraph (1) shall apply for purposes of this title (other than with respect to disproportionate share hospital payments described in section 1923 and payments under this title that are based on the enhanced FMAP described in 2105(b)) and shall not apply with respect to payments under title IV (other than under part E of title IV) or payments under title XXI.’’
Translation:
“We’ve established what you are, Senator Landrieu, now we’re just haggling about the price.”
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.

Grammy award-winning musician Stevie Wonder said President Barack Obama’s popularity has been decreasing because “people are afraid of change.”
More news from CNSnews.com:
Grammy award-winning musician Stevie Wonder said President Barack Obama’s popularity has been decreasing because “people are afraid of change.” Regarding health care reform, Wonder said people are “bickering over something that we should have had a long time ago.”
You’re wrong, Stevie. Come up out of the heavy ganja smoke in which you live and see the reality: People aren’t afraid of change, they’re afraid of socialism and the loss of liberty.
Consider this proof that there are none so blind as those who will not see.
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present Little Stevie Wonder singing “Uptight (Everything’s Alright).” Consider it a reminder that whatever you have now is better than what you’ll have under socialism.
We have Senator John Kerry’s daughter, Senator Richard Lugar’s wife, and President Obama’s attorney general. The first two were drunk on alcohol and the latter was drunk on power.
What the hell is going on with politicians and their families? Everywhere you look these days, you find drunks. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll be shocked to learn that there’s no Kennedy connection in this story.
Instead, we have Senator John Kerry’s daughter, Senator Richard Lugar’s wife, and President Obama’s attorney general. The first two were drunk on alcohol and the latter was drunk on power.
Let’s start off with this story from the Los Angeles Times about John Kerry’s daughter:
The daughter of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) was arrested in Hollywood early this morning for alleged drunk driving. Los Angeles police say Alexandra Kerry, 36, was stopped by police during a traffic stop at about 12:40 a.m.
Now let’s move on to Fox News for this story about Senator Richard Lugar’s wife:
The wife of U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., has been charged with drunken driving and hit-and-run after police said she hit a parked car in northern Virginia.
And finally, in the most egregious story of them all, Fox News reports the story of an Attorney General who’s drunk with power:
According to Holder, his decisions regarding the trial location of the Gitmo detainees could not be based upon a desired outcome rather a protection of the integrity of the American legal system. The trial of terrorists on American soil, Holder argued, was driven by his responsibility to uphold the “Rule of Law.”
When asked however about the possibility the detainees might be acquitted by virtue of some unanticipated technicality, Holder insisted all cases had been meticulously pored over so that only those which could be reasonably ensured a conviction would be brought before the Federal Court. Time and again, the Attorney General reiterated his confidence that the outcomes would be successful. A prosecutor himself, Holder insisted that if he had been concerned any of these cases might lead to a negative outcome, he almost certainly would have opted for a different course of action. But as one reporter justly queried, how could one possibly consider it within the spirit of the “The Rule of Law” to try certain cases in the Federal Court System as opposed to the Military Tribunals based upon an assessment of which could be guaranteed victories and which could not? And specious logic aside, many opponents have expressed their concern over the degree to which the United States Government might now be forced to divulge classified information during the impending discovery process.
In addition to being drunk with power, Holder was accused of making illegal left turns.

Consider this hilarious retraction another example of “ready, fire, aim” on the part of the media. In this case, the Mirror UK:
On 17 July 2008 in our front page article “Ron the Lash” we falsely reported that whilst recovering from an operation to his ankle Cristiano Ronaldo had “gone on a bender” at a Hollywood nightclub where he splashed out pounds 10,000 on champagne and vodka and threw his crutches to the ground and tried to dance on his uninjured foot. We now accept that Cristiano did not “go on a bender”, did not drink any alcohol that evening, did not spend pounds 10,000 on alcohol, nor throw his crutches to the floor or try to dance.
We also accept that he did not act irresponsibly nor jeopardise his recovery and in fact made a full recovery from his injury in record time. We apologise to him for the embarrassment and offence caused and have agreed to pay him substantial damages and his legal costs.
Ronaldo should consider himself damn lucky that (a) the story wasn’t reported by an American newspaper, and (b) he’s not a Republican.
A distraught Oprah Winfrey is telling pals her “thank you” for helping Barack Obama win the presidency has been a knife in the back. Michelle Obama is jealous of her.
The Most Glamorous First Lady In History gives Oprah Winfrey the evil eye
We’ve been crying our damn eyes out over this one — wishing, hoping, dreaming that it’s not true, but knowing in our heart of hearts that it probably is.
The National Enquirer reports:
A distraught Oprah Winfrey is telling pals her “thank you” for helping Barack Obama win the presidency has been a knife in the back.
A jealous first lady has frozen the talk queen out of the White House inner circle, say insiders. “Oprah is devastated,” revealed a friend.
“She had no idea that Michelle was so jealous about the influence she had on Barack. She hated the way her husband would huddle with Oprah over strategy and jump when she called.
“The jealousy and anger was eating up Michelle. During the campaign, she vowed Oprah would not be a part of the new administration.
“Oprah had visions of being a close adviser to the president and a regular visitor to the White House. She was actually planning to redecorate the famous Lincoln bedroom, which is reserved for special guests of the first family.
“But in the first 10 months of the Obama administration, Oprah has visited the White House only twice, and one visit was for a business meeting to do an interview with Michelle for O magazine.
We know what you’re thinking – it’s just the National Enquirer. But these guys were right all along about John Edwards and the baby mama, so who are we to doubt them?
Next week: The Enquirer reveals that Malia and Sasha are the result of Michelle’s encounter of the fourth kind with reptilian aliens.

“The argument against unions–that they unduly burden employers with unreasonable demands–is one that corporate America makes in good times and bad. . . . The real issue is whether enhanced unionizing would worsen the recession, and there is no evidence that it would. There is a strong argument that the slack labor market of a recession actually makes unions all the more important.” – New York Times editorial, December 29, 2008
“The New York Times News Service will lay off at least 25 editorial employees next year and will move the editing of the service to a Florida newspaper owned by The New York Times Company. . . . The plan for the news service calls for The Gainesville Sun, whose newsroom is not unionized and has lower salaries, to take over editing and page design.” – New York Times, November 13, 2009
And the funniest thing about the Times hypocrisy is that it was reported by the New York Post.
