What the President meant to say is that Nancy Pelosi is all washed up
Poor Nancy Pelosi. According the Greatest President In History, she’s been working hard. Really hard. “Nancy’s busy with her mop, cleaning up someone else’s mess,” he said. “And we don’t want someone sitting back saying, ‘You’re not holding the mop the right way.’”
Poor Nancy Pelosi. According the Greatest President In History, she’s been working hard. Really hard.
“Nancy’s busy with her mop, cleaning up someone else’s mess,” he said. “And we don’t want someone sitting back saying, ‘You’re not holding the mop the right way.’”
We’re not sure whose mess Nancy is cleaning up. After all, she’s represented her district in Congress for more than 20 years. You would think that the worst moppers ever – you know, the ones who don’t hold the mop right – would be able to clean up a substantial mess in 20 years.
Speaking to his critics Obama asked, “Why don’t you grab a mop? Why don’t you help clean up?”
The President’s critics are hoping that the major clean up starts next year, and rather than taking 20 years, that it’s pretty well completed by 2012.

White House: Fox must be silenced because it cannot be controlled.
Last week’s Anita Dunn headline was “White House escalates war on Fox News.” This week’s Anita Dunn headline is “White House admits: We ‘control’ news media.” The latter certainly goes a long way toward explaining the former.
Last week’s Anita Dunn headline was “White House escalates war on Fox News.” This week’s Anita Dunn headline is “White House admits: We ‘control’ news media.” The latter certainly goes a long way toward explaining the former.
Here’s how World Net Daily reports the story:
Anita Dunn, the White House Communications Director who declared war on Fox News, inadvertently revealed the truth behind the effort to silence the network. She says the Obama administration “controls” the media.
President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was “controlled,” White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference.
“Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control,” said Dunn.
“One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters,” said Dunn, referring to Plouffe, who was Obama’s chief campaign manager.
“We just put that out there and made them write what Plouffe had said as opposed to Plouffe doing an interview with a reporter. So it was very much we controlled it as opposed to the press controlled it,” Dunn said.
Continued Dunn: “Whether it was a David Plouffe video or an Obama speech, a huge part of our press strategy was focused on making the media cover what Obama was actually saying as opposed to why the campaign was saying it, what the tactic was. … Making the press cover what we were saying.”
Sure, Anita. Like you really had to twist the media’s arms to get positive coverage for Obama. And Fox, the only apparent voice of dissent in the country, must now be silenced because it cannot be controlled.
Is there still anyone out there who doesn’t find this administration frightening?

Uh-oh. Obama losing Socialist support because he has more troops in combat than Bush ever had
A President’s in real trouble when he loses his base. And that’s the only way to interpret the fact that socialists are slip slidin’ away from their early enthusiasm for the Press Event President.
A President’s in real trouble when he loses his base. And that’s the only way to interpret the fact that socialists are slip slidin’ away from their early enthusiasm for the Press Event President.
Here’s how the World Socialist Web Site reports the end of the slobbering love affair:
The combined US troop deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan have now reached a higher level than existed at any time under the presidency of George W. Bush. This surge past the record set by its predecessor marks another grim milestone in the Obama administration’s escalation of American militarism.
In addition to the 21,000 US soldiers and Marines that Obama ordered deployed to Afghanistan as part of the escalation he unveiled last March, another 13,000 “support” troops are being quietly sent to the country with no official announcement, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
This stealth buildup is a replay of the methods used by the Bush administration in its Iraq surge, when it announced the deployment of an additional 20,000 combat troops while saying nothing about the 8,000 support troops sent with them.
In neither case was the failure to declare the full number an oversight. Obama, like Bush before him, recognizes that the military interventions he oversees are deeply unpopular with the majority of the American people.
According to the troop numbers provided by the Post, there are now 65,000 US troops in Afghanistan, with another 124,000 still in Iraq, for a total of 189,000 American military personnel waging two colonial-style wars and occupations.
At the height of the Bush administration’s 2007 “surge” in Iraq, there were 26,000 US troops in Afghanistan and 160,000 in Iraq, for a total of 186,000.
There is every indication that the policies being pursued by the Obama White House will send these numbers significantly higher.
That early aura of invincibility is slip slidin’ away, Barack, it’s slip slidin’ away. Which is our cheesy way of leading into the Paul Simon video embedded at the top of this story.

Great news for golfers: Obama’s economic stimulus program will pay you to buy a golf cart
Whoever designed this program must have had too many brewskis at the 19th hole. It’s like Cash-for-Clunkers on steroids.
Whoever designed this program must have had too many brewskis at the 19th hole. It’s like Cash-for-Clunkers on steroids.
Let’s just let the Wall Street Journal report this one while we take a few practice swings:
The federal (tax) credit provides from $4,200 to $5,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle, and when it is combined with similar incentive plans in many states the tax credits can pay for nearly the entire cost of a golf cart. Even in states that don’t have their own tax rebate plans, the federal credit is generous enough to pay for half or even two-thirds of the average sticker price of a cart, which is typically in the range of $8,000 to $10,000. “The purchase of some models could be absolutely free,” Roger Gaddis of Ada Electric Cars in Oklahoma said earlier this year. “Is that about the coolest thing you’ve ever heard?”
The golf-cart boom has followed an IRS ruling that golf carts qualify for the electric-car credit as long as they are also road worthy. These qualifying golf carts are essentially the same as normal golf carts save for adding some safety features, such as side and rearview mirrors and three-point seat belts. They typically can go 15 to 25 miles per hour.
In South Carolina, sales of these carts have been soaring as dealerships alert customers to Uncle Sam’s giveaway. “The Golf Cart Man” in the Villages of Lady Lake, Florida is running a banner online ad that declares: “GET A FREE GOLF CART. Or make $2,000 doing absolutely nothing!”
Golf Cart Man is referring to his offer in which you can buy the cart for $8,000, get a $5,300 tax credit off your 2009 income tax, lease it back for $100 a month for 27 months, at which point Golf Cart Man will buy back the cart for $2,000. “This means you own a free Golf Cart or made $2,000 cash doing absolutely nothing!!!” You can’t blame a guy for exploiting loopholes that Congress offers.
This is obviously the Obama administration’s attempt to reach across the aisle to the rich country club Republicans.
Pardon us, but this story makes us want to go whack a few balls.

Un-friggin-believable: Ten French soldiers killed after Italians bribed Taliban not to fight
Italy’s bribery strategy proved more creative than the typical French strategy of retreat and surrender, but considerably more deadly.
Italy’s bribery strategy proved more creative than the typical French strategy of retreat and surrender, but considerably more deadly.
The Australian reports via Andrew Bolt:
TEN French soldiers killed in Afghanistan failed to realise the risks in the area because Italian officials had secretly paid the Taliban to desist from violence.
The Italian secret service had been paying tens of thousands of dollars to Taliban commanders and local warlords to keep the Sarobi area near Kabul quiet in the months before French forces moved in.
The French had been in charge of the area for just a month when the 10 soldiers were killed in an insurgent ambush in August 2008, in one of the biggest single losses of life for NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Cuban punk rocker (who knew?) Gorki Águila is not a fan of Fidel Castro’s revolution.
“Communism is a failure. A total failure,” he says. “Please, leftists of the world-improve your capitalism. Don’t choose communism!”
Águila, who still lives in Cuba, wears homemade anti-Castro t-shirts, frequently denounces the Raoul and Fidel, and leads what may be Cuba’s only political punk band, Porno Para Ricardo. He is often arrested and charged with “social dangerousness.”
Cuban officials granted Águila a rare visa to travel abroad, hoping that he’ll travel overseas and stay there.

Balloon Boy to Wolfe Blitzer: “We did it for the show”
Sounds like another Wife Swap encore is in order for this clever family. Either that, or a visit by Child Protection Services.
Yesterday in our story “Publicity stunt or coincidence? Balloon Boy has a video called “I’m Not Pussified,” we suggested that the story was a publicity stunt. But trying to be sensitive to the family, just in case we were wrong, we posed this as a question rather than a charge. Well, we were right. Just listen to not-so-crafty-after-all little co-conspirator Falcon cause his parents Richard and Mayumi to freeze in shock as he tells CNN’s Wolfe Blitzer that “We did this for a show.”
Sounds like another Wife Swap encore is in order for this clever family. Either that, or a visit by Child Protection Services.
Update: Here’s a clip of Wolfe Blitzer coming back to Falcon’s comment, gently asking for clarification. We’re no body language experts, but we’d say he knows he was busted big time. Given Wolfe’s performance on Celebrity Jeopardy last month, we’re lucky he even picked up on the slip.
Deciding vote on Obama Nobel Peace Prize cast by radical Socialist and KGB informer
Although it was originally reported that President Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after a unanimous vote, the final tally was actually a much close 3-2 vote.
Although it was originally reported that President Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after a unanimous vote, the final tally was actually a much close 3-2 vote.
The Conservative Party’s Kaci Kullmann Five and the Socialist Left’s Aagot Valle voted no.
The swing vote that broke the 2-2 tie and awarded the Nobel to Obama was cast by committee Chairman Thorbjørn Jaglan, President of the Storting.
Wikipedia (yeah, we know the problems with Wikipedia, but we’re quoting it anyway) says, “Since 1999, Jagland is also one of several vice presidents of the Socialist International. Jagland stated that the left wing in Norway does not use Socialist International enough. From 2000 to 2006, he chaired the Socialist International Committee on the Middle East, and he has outspokenly opposed the perceived presence of islamophobia in Western societies.”
They also said, “…a former Soviet spy described Jagland as a friendly politician during the 1970s and 80s. Jagland said he held diplomatic talks with the Soviet unions and that all the conversations were innocent exchanges between them.[14] He was classified as a ’confidential contact’ by the Committee for State Security (KGB).“
Well, surely, you say, President Obama can’t be held responsible if some foreign socialist wants to give him a multimillion dollar award. It’s not like he named a socialist to his administration or anything.
Not so fast.
E&E News reports that Carol Browner was also an official of the Socialist International until forced to resign due to negative publicity surrounding her appointment as Obama’s Climate Czar.
So now we know who thinks Obama deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. And we know whom Obama appoints to key positions.
So the only remaining question is how anyone could possibly believe this guy’s not a socialist.

Irrascable, almost unwatchable curmudgeon Don Imus has helped the Fox Business Network rack up its first ratings triumph over arch rival CNBC.
Imus’ radio show, a simulcast of his radio show, averaged 148,000 viewers a day for the week of October 5. That allowed FBN to eke out its first narrow victory over CNBC since FBN fired up its transmitter two years ago.
The New York Daily News reports:
Imus retained about 75% of his audience for the period, and helped propel Fox Business to its highest overall ratings for a week.
Imus’ total viewership on Fox was several times the average of his last simulcast, on the RFD network, and a little less than half the number he averaged when he was on MSNBC.

The new Mazda CX-7 4WD uses a special liquid similar to human urine to reduce emissions. The special compound, which goes by the name AdBlue.
Perhaps that’s not a scientifically accurate description, but it’s close enough for blogging purposes.
The new Mazda CX-7 4WD uses a special liquid similar to human urine to reduce emissions. The special compound, which goes by the name AdBlue, is 1/3 urea and 2/3 demineralized water.
The technology, which is common in Europe and Australia’s trucking industry, is called selective catalyst reduction. Without getting over our heads in scientific jargon, it injects AdBlue into the car’s exhaust system and renders NOx emissions harmless.
According to The Age Australia, “Regulatory authorities in Europe and the United States are planning to introduce strict new limits on diesel emissions in the future, which will eventually make the urea-based systems mandatory equipment on all cars.”
We’re not that impressed with a car that runs on pee. We’d be a lot more excited if they could develop a car that runs on bullshit.

You’re going to die of swine flu this winter. Just like thousands of Aussies did.
Our friends down under have just come out of the Southern Hemisphere’s winter with the swine flu raging through the nation, decimating its people and destroying its economy everywhere…
Our friends down under have just come out of the Southern Hemisphere’s winter with the swine flu raging through the nation, decimating its people and destroying its economy everywhere from the Opera House to the Outback.
Or not.
The predictions had been that the swine flu would kill thousands, maybe tens of thousands of Aussies.
Back in April, the World Health Organization said “all humanity is under threat.”
Aussie Health Minister Nicola Roxon said flu could kill 6000 Aussies this flu season and put 80,000 in hospital. And that’s out of a total population of just 20 million.
Professor Raina MacIntyre, a member of the Government’s influenza advisory group, anticipated an even higher toll.
“If you look at deaths that are directly related to influenza and also to pneumonia, which is the most common complication of influenza,” she said, “we could be looking at anything in the ball park of 10,000 deaths, 10,000 to 20,000 deaths.”
None of it happened.
The actual number of Aussies who died from swine flu?
A mere 185.
As Aussie blogger Andrew Bolt said, “Add swine flu now to a notorious list of other great scare campaigns: bird flu, SARS, acid rain, the Y2K bug, Chernobyl, genetically modified food, impending famines … Oh, and global warming. “
Expect equally devastating results during our upcoming flu season.
