Charlie Rangel gave money to Democrats on Ethics Committee. You know, the ones who are investigating him

Good ol’ Uncle Charlie Rangel, the New York Democrat who heads the committee that writes the tax laws, is under investigation for a wide range of tax violations. So naturally, he decided this would be a good time to make campaign contributions (wink, wink) to some of the other fine, upstanding gentlemen on the committee that’s investigating him.

Good ol’ Uncle Charlie Rangel, the New York Democrat who heads the committee that writes the tax laws, is under investigation for a wide range of tax violations.

So naturally, he decided this would be a good time to make campaign contributions (wink, wink) to some of the other fine, upstanding gentlemen on the committee that’s investigating him.

The beneficiaries of Rangel’s largesse include Kentucky Democrat Ben Chandler, North Carolina Democrat G.K. Butterfield, and Vermont Democrat Peter Welch.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Rangel’s been spreading the wealth around the House of Representatives at a furious pace, making donations to 119 different Congressmen since the ethics probe was launched last year.

Rangel, of course, remains nothing if not arrogant.

“I recognize that all of you have an obligation to ask questions knowing that there’s none of you smart enough to frame it in such a way that I’m going to respond,” Rangel told reporters.

Time for a perp walk here. Ankle cuffs, orange jump suit, the whole shebang.

Ben & Jerry celebrate gay marriage with new ice cream flavor called “Hubby Hubby”

The leftwing lunatics at Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream are celebrating Vermont’s decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples by renaming its “Chubby Hubby” ice cream flavor “Hubby Hubby” for the month of September.

The leftwing lunatics at Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream are celebrating Vermont’s decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples by renaming its “Chubby Hubby” ice cream flavor “Hubby Hubby” for the month of September.

Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.

“At the core of Ben & Jerry’s values, we believe that social justice can and should be something that every human being is entitled to,” said Ben & Jerry’s CEO, Walt Freese.

“From the very beginning of our 30 year history,” he continued, “we have supported equal rights for all people. The legalisation of marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont is certainly a step in the right direction and something worth celebrating with peace, love and plenty of ice cream.”

Hubby Hubby contains chocolate-covered peanut butter-filled pretzel nuggets.

We assume it also has twice as many nuts as the old Chubby Hubby.

Meet your government: Obama’s Green Jobs Czar thinks America got what it deserved on 9-11

Van Jones, President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar,” an admitted black nationalist and radical communist, on 09/12/01, led a vigil in Oakland, California to express solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans.

Don't let the warm smile fool you. This man wants to destroy your way of life.
Don't let the warm smile fool you. This man wants to destroy your way of life.

Van Jones, President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar,” an admitted black nationalist and radical communist, is either crazy or dangerous. Maybe both.

On 9/12/01, he led a vigil in Oakland, California to express solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans as well as what he called the victims of “U.S. imperialism” around the world. It was spearheaded by Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a Communist revolutionary group founded and lead by Jones.

Get this:

“Reclaiming Revolution,” STORM’s official manifesto, proudly states that the purpose of the vigil was to express solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans and to mourn the civilians killed in the terrorist attacks.

They should have stopped there, but went on to say, “as well as the victims of U.S. imperialism around the world.”

“We honored those who lost their lives in the attack,” the manifesto said, “and those who would surely lose their lives in subsequent U.S. attacks overseas.”

Equally. The victims of 9/11, the “victims” of American imperialism, and victims of American attacks that had not yet happened. So STORM was not only Communist, but clairvoyant. Their logo should be a hammer and a sickle and a crystal ball.

2012 cannot come soon enough.

“In tonight’s headlines, trouble in the Middle East, unemployment jumps, and I’ll sell you this suit for $125.”

Now a new website is selling slightly-used clothing that TV news people can’t wear out of fear that viewers may have seen a little too often. The consignment website is called TVNewsCloset.com. It was initially set up to sell TV professionals clothes to other TV professionals. But the site is really open to anyone.

Now a new website is selling slightly-used clothing that TV news people can’t wear out of fear that viewers may have seen a little too often.

The consignment website is called TVNewsCloset.com. It was initially set up to sell TV professionals clothes to other TV professionals. But the site is really open to anyone.

As the site says, “Whether you are an anchor, reporter, meteorologist, sportscaster, or host, you can make money and save money with TVNewsCloset.com.”

Unfortunately, TVcloset.com doesn’t tell you who consigned the clothing to the website. That is, you won’t know if that gorgeous Brooks Brothers suit was worn by Brian Williams or the weather doofus in Asheville, North Carolina.

And that’s unfortunate. Because we’d buy anything if we could be assured that it had once graced the body of Fox News’ Courtney Friel.

We’re nearing the Christmas season and if you were wondering where to find the perfect presents for your loved ones, Glenn Beck has a suggestion.

Visit the NBC store to find some of the finest Obama-themed gifts available anywhere. You can choose from an Obama action figure, a Obama coffee mug, a “Yes We Did” T-shirt, and four other delightful items featuring the President’s image.

That leads directly to Beck’s brilliant analysis of NBC’s prejudiced reporting.

And that analysis is the best gift of all.

Green Jobs Czar Van Jones: Republicans are assholes

There is nothing green about Jones, the green movement is simply a convenient vehicle for his, and Barack Obama’s, social justice (aka marxism) movement. But hold on–aren’t republicans part of the social fabric of this country. If so, where is the social justice in him calling Republicans assholes?

By now you’ve all heard of about the self-described communist, Green Czar Van Jones. You know him, the Berkeley radical who is going to save the earth and transform America at the same time by “moving formerly incarcerated people from jail cells to solar cells—helping to harvest the sun, heal the land, and repair our souls.”

It’s all bull. There is nothing green about Jones. The green movement is simply a convenient vehicle for his, and Barack Obama’s, social justice (aka Marxism) movement. But hold on–aren’t Republicans part of the social fabric of this country. If so, where is the social justice in him calling Republicans assholes?

The bigger question to us is, where are Republican leaders on the subject of Van Jones? Are we really at the tipping point in America where we don’t scream about the president picking a Marxist as a key advisor to cripple the economy?

President pisses off a majority of adults, now moves on to children

President Obama will now be directing his propaganda toward children. It’s a first. Barack Obama, The Greatest President In History, will give a nationwide address to American children while they’re supposedly safely ensconced in their NEA indoctrination centers schoolrooms.

The President is about to piss off a whole new demographic
The President is about to piss off a whole new demographic

Now that polls show a majority of adults giving President Obama a big thumbs down, he’s making the only logical move – directing his propaganda toward children.

It’s a first. Barack Obama, The Greatest President In History, will give a nationwide address to American children on September 8 while they’re supposedly safely ensconced in their NEA indoctrination centers schoolrooms.

Outrageous? Of course.

The White House even released an pre-approved list of questions for the wee nippers to discuss before, during and after President asks for their future votes.

Questions like this:

Police confirm that President Obama is on euphoria-inducing stimulants and hallucinogens

Law enforcement officials have confirmed that the President’s face, which has graced everything from comic books and action figures to paintings and chia pets, is now found embossed and printed on illegal street drugs, usually Ecstasy.

obama-drugs

Before you say, “That explains a lot,” please allow us to clarify.

Law enforcement officials have confirmed that the President’s face, which has graced everything from comic books and action figures to paintings and chia pets, is now found embossed and printed on illegal street drugs.

The Obama drugs – usually Ecstasy – have been seized from drug dealers in cities across the United States. The illicit pharmaceuticals come in a range of colors and typically sell for about $20 a pop.

According to Answers.com, ecstasy (also called XTC or X), “is a derivative of the amphetamine family and a relative of the stimulant methamphetamine. Taken in pill form, it has a chemical relationship to the psychedelic drug mescaline.”

A little artificially-induced euphoria may be exactly what Democrats need as the President’s poll numbers stagger even lower.

Perhaps it’s even covered under ObamaCare.

Obama month-by-month: Love in an elevator, going dowwwwwwn

When you track the President’s Job Approval on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports has compiled the numbers on a full-month basis.

monthly_approval_index_august_2009

Rasmussen threw up an interesting chart today that shows Obama’s approval rating averaged out on a month-to-month basis.

Here’s how Rasmussen described the rapid descent: “When you track the President’s Job Approval on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports has compiled the numbers on a full-month basis and the results can be seen in the graphics below.”

Even the most ardent Obamaphile has to look at this chart and recognize that the trend is not their friend.

Which leads us to Aerosmith, America’s greatest rock and roll band. Let’s join them as they describe the trajectory of the once torrid love affair between the American people and Barack Obama.

Bungling Saudi suicide bomber puts the ass in assassination

A bungling al-Qaeda terrorist tried to assassinate a Saudi prince by detonating an improvised explosive device he had cleverly concealed up his…uh…in his…errrr…well, let’s just say where the sun don’t shine.

His Royal Highness the assistant of the Interior Minister for security affairs, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef bin Abdul Aziz survives assassination attempt

A bungling al-Qaeda terrorist tried to assassinate a Saudi prince by detonating an improvised explosive device he had cleverly concealed up his…uh…in his…errrr…well, let’s just say where the sun don’t shine.

According to the Associated Press, “Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned television network, said the attacker concealed the explosives in his anus, allowing him to evade detection. The network also quoted an expert as saying that the method of concealment aimed the blast away from the target, while blowing the bomber to bits.”

Deputy Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the Saudi prince, survived but the would-be assassin went to meet his 49 virgins in a most undignified manner.

At this point we would like to pause briefly to pat ourselves on the back for the remarkable maturity we displayed by not going with our original headline:

Video exposé: Shameless Obama organizer tells supporters how to disrupt meetings

A DNC group organizer tells them how to shout down opponents who get up to ask Rep. Jan Schakowski tough Obamacare healthcare questions. He even tells them how to deny others the right to speak at all.

Health Care for America is a front group of the Democratic National Committee. You know, the patriotic hypocritical organization that’s accused opponents of ObamaCare of being members of organized groups. Astroturfers, in the current vernacular.

What’s most remarkable about this video clip to us isn’t that the organizer for Health Care for America Now is so blatant. It’s that he doesn’t seem to care that he’s being videotaped outside a town hall meeting giving precise instructions to paid ObamaCare supporters.

He tells them how to shout down opponents who get up to ask Rep. Jan Schakowski tough questions. He even tells them how to deny others the right to speak at all.

One other thing: Please note that these “grassroots” protesters are being handed HCAN bumper stickers at the end of the video.

The truth about ObamaCare: A Republican congressman tells it like it is

We’d never heard of Michigan Republican Congressman Mike Rogers before. But based on his scathing opening statement during ObamaCare hearings last month, we hope we hear a lot more of him in the future.

We’d never heard of Michigan Republican Congressman Mike Rogers before. But based on his scathing opening statement during ObamaCare hearings last month, we hope we hear a lot more of him in the future:

Abraham Lincoln said, “You can’t make a weak man strong by making a strong man weak.” And so what we’ve decided to do today is to abandon the very principles of America and say, “It’s so hard and it’s so difficult that we’re going to punish the 85% of Americans who have earned healthcare benefits as part of their employment. We’re going to punish them and the employers who give it to them to cover the 15% that don’t have it.

That doesn’t sound like a conclusion any of us would come to. Why would we punish the part that’s working to cover the part that’s not? It’s like taking a queen size sheet and trying put it over a king size bed. I will guarantee you that the corners are going to come up.”

We need a couple hundred more congressmen like this guy.

Congratulations! President’s website names you an “heir of Bid Laden”

A story on my.BarackObama.com, the official website of the President’s Organizing For America program, refers to ObamaCare protesters as “heirs of Bin Laden.” It also uses terms like zealot-horde … misguided … easy-pickings for demagogues … spoon fed … false prophets … shameless … pawn.

Bill Clinton’s north of the border speech goes south in a big way

What do you do when you’ve agreed to pay Bill Clinton a small fortune to give a speech, but ticket sales are, shall we say, less vigorous than expected?

Bill Clinton laughs at the thought of people paying $50 to hear him speak.
Bill Clinton laughs at the thought of people paying $50 to hear him speak.

This is embarrassing for the former President. Very embarrassing. Which is exactly why we enjoy it so damn much.

What do you do when you’ve agreed to pay Bill Clinton a small fortune to give a speech, but ticket sales are, shall we say, less vigorous than expected?

If you’re the folks who organized the former president’s Saturday speech in Toronto, you take two steps. One: you quickly reconfigure stadium seating so it looks smaller and, therefore, fuller. Two: You slash the price of the remaining tickets to an embarrassingly low $5 at the door.

Only about 7,000 tickets were pre-sold for yesterday’s speech, a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to the 25,000 tickets the organizers expected to sell.

“I’m the eternal optimist. I thought we were just going to sell like crazy at the very beginning and it looks like we’re going to sell more towards the end of this sales cycle,” spokesman David Bednar noted. “I can almost guarantee that we will not sell out.”

Tickets were originally priced at $20, $40 and $50. The good seats sold out, but thousands of the cheaper tickets are, shall we say, still available.

Congressman Anthony Weiner gets roasted

Here’s a great clip of Anthony Weiner catching hell from a voter at his latest town hall fiasco. Watch it through the end for Bonnie Cohen’s rousing conclusion

At this point, Anthony “The Most Appropriately Named Man In Congress” Weiner must be wondering why he ever ran for Congress. And his constituents must be questioning it, too.

Here’s a great clip of Weiner catching hell from a voter at his latest town hall fiasco. Watch it through the end for Bonnie Cohen’s rousing conclusion:

“I think its fair to say that Congress has been acting stupidly! My question for you Congressman is; do you plan to go back to Washington and deliver for us what we actually voted for? Or is that above your pay grade and do you plan to just promote your own career and campaign every hour on MSNBC?”

Not a bad question, Bonnie. Not bad at all.

ObamaCare opposition is growing like a weed in the middle of a Texas

Sam Bate, just outside Lubbock, Texas, plowed his a into a field of weeds. The former art teacher trimmed some weeds like a giant conservative crop circle, leaving a message that shouts, “Say no to Obama!” to anyone flying overhead.

Sam Bates farms a plot of land just outside Lubbock, Texas. He’s come up with an unique way to protest ObamaCare, but you can only see it if you fly over his spread.

Sam plowed his protest into a field of weeds. The former art teacher trimmed some weeds like a giant conservative crop circle, leaving a message that shouts, “Say no to Obama!” to anyone flying overhead.

“This is a sign of frustration,” Bates said. “You know, it’s not so much Obama, but just some of the things he’s done recently with the health bill he’s trying to pass through, and it’s just as much Republican and Democrats’ fault in the House and the Senate that won’t stand up to some of the things. That’s basically what’s frustrated me.”

“I thought, maybe some pilots flying from here to Dallas would get a good chuckle,” Bates noted dryly.

Anyone know if airsickness is covered by ObamaCare?

Howard Dean suffers an embarrassing moment of honesty

Howard Dean is going to watch this video and ask himself, “What was I thinking?” For that matter, the rest of the Democrat party is also going to wonder why Den thought it was a good idea to come clean about the iron grip trail lawyers have on the Democrat party’s testicles.

Howard Dean is going to watch this video and ask himself, “What was I thinking?”

For that matter, the rest of the Democrat party is also going to wonder why Den thought it was a good idea to come clean about the iron grip trail lawyers have on the Democrat party’s testicles.

“This is the answer from a doctor and a politician. Here’s why tort reform is not in the bill. When you go to pass a really enormous bill like that, the more stuff you put in it, the more enemies you make, right? And the reason that tort reform is not in the bill is because the people who wrote it did not want to take on the trial lawyers in addition to everyone else they were taking on. And that is the plain and simple truth.”

Can’t wait for Howard’s next speech. Maybe he’ll admit Obama’s a socialist.

The guy who chairs the committee that writes tax laws is a lying, cheating swindler

Charlie Rangel may be a Congressman from New York, but he’s also the King of Chutzpah.

The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is being investigated for a wide range of ethical lapses (“lapses” is probably an inappropriate word because it implies that this latest incident is a temporary break in otherwise ethical behavior, but there is no evidence that Rangel has ever been ethical).

The New York Post reports the sordid details:

Lunatic leftist Rep says opponents want to destroy “first President who looks like me”

Congresswoman Diane Watson attacks Rush Limbaugh, insults the wealthy, praises Che Gueverra and Fidel Castro, lauds the Cuban healthcare system and she announces that opponents of ObamaCare are trying to destroy the first President who looks like her.

Someone alert the folks at the Guinness Book of World Records, because it looks like Diane Watson (D-Havana) may have set a world record for cramming the most stupid comments into one 2:45 sound bite.

Within that remarkably brief period of time she manages to attack Rush Limbaugh, insult the wealthy, praise Che Gueverra and Fidel Castro, laud the Cuban healthcare system and to cap off her tour de force, she announces that opponents of ObamaCare are trying to destroy the first President who looks like her.

Problem is, we’re not sure which President she’s referring to.

Is she saying we’re anti-black because she looks like Barack Obama or that we’re anti-Whig because she bears a remarkable resemblance to Millard Fillmore?

Shameless Kennedys send grandchildren out to shill for ObamaCare at Teddy’s funeral

The torch has been passed. Teddy may be dead, but shameless socialist hucksterism is still alive and well in the Kennedy family. They actually sent Teddy’s young grandsons out to push for ObamaCare at grandpa’s funeral.

The torch has been passed. Teddy may be dead, but shameless socialist hucksterism is still alive and well in the Kennedy family. They actually sent Teddy’s young grandsons out to push for ObamaCare at grandpa’s funeral.

“For what my grandpa called the cause of his life,” one grandson said, “as he said so often ‘In every part of this land that every American will have decent quality healthcare as a fundamental right and not a privilege,’ we pray to the Lord.”

“For my grandfather’s brave promise last summer that, ‘The work begins anew, the hope rises again, and the dream lives on,’ we pray to the Lord,” another grandson said.

And then, being good Kennedys, they downed a couple Chivas & sodas and peeked up their girl cousin’s dresses.

The biggest loser: Britain’s National Health Service collapsing under its own weight

The President and his minions would have you to believe that Britain’s National Health Service is the ideal toward which ObamaCare would take us.

According to the Daily Mail, one of Britain’s leading newspapers, the country’s expectant mothers beg to disagree:

Thousands of women are having to give birth outside maternity wards because of a lack of midwives and hospital beds.

The lives of mothers and babies are being put at risk as births in locations ranging from lifts to toilets – even a caravan – went up 15 per cent last year to almost 4,000.

Health chiefs admit a lack of maternity beds is partly to blame for the crisis, with hundreds of women in labour being turned away from hospitals because they are full.
