Here’s another one to add to the “Best of Nancy Pelosi” reel. Nancy “The Genius” Pelosi says that every month we don’t pass the economic stimulus bill, another 500 million Americans lose their jobs.
She must be including illegal aliens.

Capone got prison, Daschle gets an appointment
When the Obama administration learned that Tom Daschle had cheated on his taxes, one administration official reportedly said, “He’s our kind of guy.”
Add up Daschle’s unreported income from the use of a luxury car and chauffeur in 2005, 2006 and 2007, unreported consulting income in 2007, and reductions in his charitable contributions, and the would-be head of Health & Human Services under-reported his income by $353,552.
Amazingly, Daschle suddenly got religion, filed amended tax returns, and paid $140,167 in unpaid taxes on January 2 of this year.
And that’s not the end of it. The Finance Committee staff still is reviewing other possible “under-reporting” of income by Daschle.
The Obama administration said they were 100% behind Daschle. But forensic accountants estimate the number is probably closer to 120%. Only an audit can reveal their real level of support.
The Audacity of Dope. Obama’s brother busted for pot.
George Obama, half-brother of President Barack Obama, has been arrested and charged him with marijuana possession.
This is the same half-brother who several months ago was found to be living in a small shack in the slums of Nairobi. At the time, he said his annual income was less than $20.
The officer in charge of the investigation said Obama was arrested on charges of possession of cannabis (or “bhang” as its known in Kenya) and resisting arrest. He is scheduled to arraigned on Monday.
“They took me from my home,” he said from his jail cell, “I don’t know why they are charging me.”
“If Timothy Geithner can cheat on his taxes and become Secretary of the Treasury,” George could have said, “this should qualify me to become head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. I can start as soon as the trial is over.”
Stimulus package “unstimulating”
We’ve got trouble in River City. And the river is the Potomac. And the city is Washington, DC.
Looks like even leftwing puppets Jim Cramer and Chris Matthews are questioning the stimulus bill’s meager infrastructure spending.
“Take the infrastructure number. Do you know that it’s $30 billion for infrastructure for bridges?” Cramer queried. “The ‘Big Dig’ cost $22 billion…and it only put 5,000 to work…It’s not gonna put a lot of people to work.”
“Why in the world aren’t we doing what they said they were going to do – build bridges, factory jobs, replace the smell of decay with the smell of construction?” Matthews said.
Matthews went on to say other things — many other things, in fact — interrupting Cramer and other guests and complete strangers, but it was all so incoherent that we won’t bother quoting it here.
Hell, we’re still wondering what “the smell of construction” might be.
Bush gets standing O (The “O” doesn’t stand for Oprah or Obama)
The former President and his wife Laura attended the big women’s basketball game between No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 4 Baylor.
As they entered the arena with Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey, they received a long, loud standing ovation from the fans. They were lost in a sea of photographers and camera crews.
Later in the game, the former president was introduced during a TV timeout, and was greeted with another hearty round of applause.
Democrat operatives immediately accused Karl Rove of orchestrating the entire event.
Not everyone is buying the media’s message
Apparently, not everyone out there is buying the media spin. This sign was recently posted in a field in Shafer, Minnosota.
For you city folks, that piece of equipment is a manure spreader.
Obama friends pile up ethics violations “with lightning speed”
When the new Obama administration said it would act with lightning speed in its first hundred days, no one knew they were talking the speed with which their friends would pile up ethics violations.
First, Illinois governor Rod Blogojevich was busted for attempting to sell Obama’s senate seat the highest bidder.
Then, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson had to withdraw from consideration as Commerce Secretary due to similar “pay to play” accusations.
Then, Hilary Clinton was named Secretary of State despite the obvious conflicts presented by her husband’s acceptance of millions of dollars from foreign governments.
Then, Timothy Geithner was confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury despite cheating on his taxes.
And yesterday Tom Daschle, Obama’s nominee for head of Health & Human Services, had to pay $140,000 in back taxes and interest for limousine and chauffeur services given to him by a wealthy donor.
Doesn’t this Obama guy have any honest friends?
Weather Channel founder says global warming “greatest scam in history”
John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel says global warming is a “hoax” and “bad science” and that Al Gore refuses to admit his cause is based on bad research.
“I am totally convinced there is no scientific basis for any of it,” Coleman said. “Global Warming. It is the hoax. It is bad science. It is a high-jacking of public policy. It is no joke. It is the greatest scam in history.”
Al Gore reportedly responding by saying, “The Weather Channel? Hah. Everyone knows you can’t trust a TV weatherman.”
Cold water thrown on global warming alarmist
James Hansen, one of Al Gore’s closest allies, has given thousands of speeches and written enough papers to kill a medium-sized forest. Yet he repeatedly says he was muzzled by the Bush administration.
Oops. Hansen’s former boss, retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John Theon, says Hansen’s claims are nonsense.
“Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated NASA’s official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind’s effect on it). Hansen thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress,” Theon said.
Damn those inconvenient truths! Damn them to hell!
Freezing D.C. welcomes Gore’s hot air
Al Gore is about to begin his latest Chicken Little testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
But while Gore is blathering on about the ‘urgent need’ to combat global warming, a “Winter Storm Watch” has been issued for the region and significant snow, sleet, and ice has been predicted.
Global warming believers say this year’s brutal winter weather is proof of climate change. Highly-trained meteorologists at I Hate The Media say this year’s brutal winter weather is proof of brutal winter weather.
Rush vs. Obama: Round Two
“Obama was angry that Merrill Lynch used $1.2 million of TARP money to remodel an executive suite,” Limbaugh said. “Excuse me, but didn’t Merrill have to hire a decorator and contractor? Didn’t they have to buy the new furnishings? What’s the difference in that and Merrill loaning that money to a decorator, contractor and goods supplier to remodel Warren Buffet’s office? Either way, stimulus in the private sector occurs.”
The thing we love about Rush is the way he makes connections between seemingly unrelated ideas everyone else overlooks. Like this:
“How much money will the Obamas spend redecorating the White House residence? Whose money will be spent? I have no problem with the Obamas re-doing the place. It is tradition.”
“Cancel the new carpet,” Barack screamed to Michelle, “Limbaugh is onto us.”
Blago in Chicago foggo
IQ-impaired Illinois governor Rod Blogojevich continues to amuse.
“The fix is in,” he insisted, claming that the Illinois legislature’s sole motivation for impeaching him is to enact a large tax increase that he is against.
When reminded that Chicago Mayor Daly called him “cuckoo,” Blago replied, “Here’s a question I have to you, to Mayor Daly and everyone else: whatever happened to the presumption of innocence?”
We’re not constitutional scholars, but we think the 34th Amendment says the presumption of innocence doesn’t apply to Democrat politicians in Illinois.
Maybe we’re wrong. Maybe it’s the 29th Amendment.
Pelosi says birth control helps the economy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_PTqvyzwRgThis is the Speaker of the House of the United States of America. For God’s sake, we might be having some economic troubles, but we’re still the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
Is this stuttering, stammering, yammering lunatic the best and brightest this country has to offer?
Palm reader gets hands on Obama
Lori Reid, a palm-reading expert, has examined the lines on the Barack Obama’s palm and believes she has him figured out. Obama’s hand shape, she said, fits into a category common in artists, writers and thinkers.
“The middle section of his fingers are very long which shows he is a good manager – he has excellent psychology and listens to what people say, although he prefers to come to his own conclusions,” she says.
‘The little finger is particularly long in comparison to the other fingers and this reveals his exceptional talents as an orator.
Reid had no comment on the meaning of Obama’s middle finger extended toward taxpayers, the coal industry, the military, gun owners, and conservatives.
