NASA-funded group makes up wacky theory to explain why global warming isn’t causing sea levels to rise

Damn it! Damn it to hell! Satellite measurements show that sea levels aren’t rising like the warmers predicted, so a NASA-funded group has come up with its own scientific theory to explain the shortfall.

global warming sea level rise — Nature in balance: Land masses are rising almost as fast as sea levels are rising!

Forbes has the latest global warming “facts”:

Satellite measurements, however, show global sea level rose merely 0.83 inches during the first decade of the 21st century (a pace of just 8 inches for the entire century), and has barely risen at all since 2006. This puts alarmists in the embarrassing position of defending predictions that are not coming true in the real world.

The University of Colorado Sea Level Research Group is coming to their rescue. The NASA-funded group claims glacial melt is removing weight that had been pressing down on land masses, which in turn is causing land mass to rise. This welcome news mitigates sea-level rise from melting glacial ice, meaning sea level will rise less than previously thought. However, it is very inconvenient for alarmist sea level predictions. Therefore, instead of reporting the amount by which sea level is rising in the real world, the Sea Level Research Group has begun adding 0.3 millimeters per year of fictitious sea level rise to “compensate” for rising land mass.

In other words, they’re twisting the facts to make them fit the theory. Kind of like they did with tree ring data and the hockey stick.

Seems to us that those same precise satellite measurement devices that are capable of measuring a miniscule rise in sea levels should also be capable of measuring any corresponding rise in land masses.

We’ll just sit here and wait for the University of Colorado Sea Level Research Group to deliver that data.

Oh, wait. What were we thinking? They’re the Sea Level Research Group. That data will probably have to come from another NASA-funded organization called the Land Mass Level Research Group.

Howard Fineman: Don’t judge Obama on his performance in office

MSNBC contributor Howard Fineman suggests that President Obama made a bit of an error early in his administration when he told voters to judge him on his performance.

MSNBC just keeps upping the ante on intentionally bizarre. They’re turning into the political version of Weekly World News.

For example, MSNBC contributor Howard Fineman suggests that President Obama made a bit of an error early in his administration when he told voters to judge him on his performance.

Fineman now realizes that’s a losing concept so he thinks Obama should pivot and run on some nebulous “values” platform instead of running on his record.

We would suggest you keep your day job, Howard, because your future as a political strategist seems very limited.

Keith Olbermann then: Evil Dick Cheney heads a secret, unconstitutional assassination team
Keith Olbermann now: How ‘bout those cool Navy Seal assassins

Just a couple years ago, Keith Olbermann said newly-elected President Obama should shut down the evil Bush-Cheney assassination apparatus. But now…

Just a couple years ago, Keith Olbermann feared a constitutional crisis. He called JSOC “shocking”, “egregious” and “terrifying to the nature of democracy”. He said newly-elected President Obama should shut down the evil Bush-Cheney assassination apparatus.

But now, according to a new video posted on Olbermann’s website, it looks as if hyperbolic host has gained a new appreciation for professional assassins. As long as they report to a liberal Democrat, that is.

Barack Obama got Osama Bin Laden. And every other political calculation, every strategy that suggests Democratic weakness or liberal uncertainty is … as dead as Bin Laden.

There’s certainly one liberal uncertainty that’s no longer uncertain – Olbermann is just as big a putz off the air as he was on the air.

Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky says America was a “loser” until Bin Laden was killed

Jan Schakowsky tells Chris Matthews that America was a loser until we whacked Bin Laden.

Jan Schakowsky is like Alan Grayson without balls. On second thought, that may not be an accurate description because we’re not convinced that Grayson has any more balls than he has brains.

But we digress.

The following short video clip tells you all you need to know about this lunatic. She tells Chris Matthews that America was a loser until we whacked Bin Laden.

“This was a seminal event in their lives, you know? This is the big deal for them growing up. And so I think that there is this feeling now, not just with young people, but getting over this feeling that America is kind of loser and now we’re a winner.”

OK, we finally came up with the proper description for Schakowsky:

Alan Grayson in drag.

Yup. That works.

The worst honeymoon in history, even worse than the Editor’s

Stefan Svanstrom of Stockholm set out on a 4-month honeymoon with wife Erika and their baby girl and the number of troubles they faced is astounding.

Eleven years ago this month, on the first morning of the Editor’s honeymoon, he turned on CNBC (yeah, he’s a romantic devil) only to discover that the two stocks in which he had just invested had both plummeted. The new Mrs. Editor assumed that his sudden, deep depression was an indication that he regretted the marriage.

Although that seemed horrible at the time, both stocks eventually recovered as did the Editor’s mood, and the honeymoon was saved. And in retrospect, that little financial glitch was nothing compared to the honeymoon described in this Associated Press story:

Stefan Svanstrom of Stockholm said Tuesday he set out on a 4-month-long honeymoon with his wife Erika and their baby girl on Dec. 6 and immediately got stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe’s worst snowstorms.

After that, he says, they experienced the devastation of a cyclone in Cairns, Australia, and the flooding in Brisbane, and narrowly escaped the bush fires in Perth.

Just before arriving in New Zealand, Svanstrom says, the 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch and at the couple’s last destination, Tokyo, they felt Japan’s largest temblor since records began.

Feel free to share you honeymoon horror stories.

Oh, and happy anniversary, Mrs. Editor.

Exclusive: Shocking excerpts from Osama Bin Laden’s diaries

Thanks to our high level contacts in the CIA, IHateTheMedia.com is proud to be the first media outlet to offer excerpts from the Bin Laden diaries.

The Washington Post reveals that, “U.S. officials say that Osama bin Laden kept a hand-written journal filled with planning ideas and details of operations. The journal was seized in the dramatic US raid.”

Thanks to our high level contacts in the CIA, IHateTheMedia.com is proud to be the first media outlet to offer excerpts from the Bin Laden diaries:

osama-bin-laden-2 — Dear Diary, Hold on. Sounds like someone's at the door. I'll be...

Dear Diary,
So sad today. Martyrdom can be very lonely thing. Hiding out in a massive complex with just the bare minimal number of satellite channels and only a few wives while all your friends are getting blown up by American bombs is some times too much to bear. Sorry. Got to go. Abduhl just found repeats of Everyone Loves the Raymond!

Dear Diary,
Each day I realize that Islam is the religion of peace. If I could only kill all the people who don’t share this opinion. Here’s hoping.

Dear Diary,
Al-Zawarhi is on Fox. He’s so dreamy. That thick beard and those little glasses. He looks so intellectual. I think I have a little man-crush going on! lol.

Dear Diary,
It seems like everywhere Islam goes there is conflict. Israel. Kashmir. Iran. Indonesia. And Africa? Forget about Africa! Everyone is hating on us there. Why is it? Why do all cultures seem to fight against us? If I wasn’t so theologically correct in the teachings of Mohammed, praise him, I would speculate that we’re the aggressors. I just made myself laugh so hard I spit espresso on my journal.

Dear Diary,
Good news! I am receiving help from my friends in the… Pakistan… I mean Kapistani… government and intelligence agencies. Time to get my jihad on.

Dear Diary,
Found new website today – IHateTheMedia.com. Started posting as Jameela. Still waiting for free Obama phone 🙁

Dear Diary,
Met with wife number five and boy is she pissed. Seems she now has nasty camel rash. My bad.

Dear Diary,
Started using new beard dye. Local farmers not happy about stains on their goats. To them I say, build taller fence!

Dear Diary,
Really enjoyed the Royal Wedding. So romantic. That Pippa is something, isn’t she? She’s, like 27, though. A little too long in the tooth for me. Also, she is not a goat.

Dear Diary,
Q: Why were my last three posts about bestiality? A: Have you seen wives 2 through 5?

Dear Diary,
Hah! Joe Biden has not yet figured out he is chatting with me in the Hair Club for Men forum.

Dear Diary,
The damn air conditioning unit is on the fritz. Again! It is clicking and knocking. It’s noisier than a bunch of American Special Forces helicopters. Hey, wait a minute…

Fuel on the birther fire: Comparing and contrasting Obama’s “forged” birth certificate and his “real” one

Just when you thought the Obama birth certificate controversy had officially been put to bed, up pops this video analysis of the President’s long-discredited “forged” birth certificate.

The supposedly forged document has been floating around on the internet for a year or so and has been condemned as blatantly phony.

Therein lies the problem. If the forgery is, in fact, a forgery, it has some very interesting similarities to and differences from the new “authentic” long form birth certificate released a couple weeks ago.

As we always say, we think the guy was born in Hawaii, but this video makes you wonder.

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir asks former Congressman if he’d rather have Obama killed than Osama

Martin Bashir actually asks Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo is he’d prefer having Obama killed than Osama.

There seems to be quite the little competition going on at MSNBC – a competition to see which host can make the most outrageous comment. In fact, it seems to be an intentional corporate strategy.

Martin Bashir officially entered the fray during his interview with former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo. Don’t let Bashir’s English accent fool you, because he’s quite capable of out-Schultzing Ed Schultz.

Scientist: “We think we saw a few birds that had a few spots of oil on them over there.”

Good lord almighty, they actually found a few oil spots on some birds returning to Newfoundland from the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a crisis.

Please allow us to translate the highly scientific jargon found in our headline: Give us some money and we’ll study the situation.

Good lord almighty, they actually found a few oil spots on some birds returning to Newfoundland from the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a crisis.

northern gannet — The Northern Gannet flies south for the winter. Northern scientists undoubtedly want to do the same.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sounds the avian alarm:

A bird researcher has found northern gannets returning to a large nesting colony south of St. John’s are faring well despite concerns that a massive oil spill that began in the Gulf of Mexico a year ago would dramatically cut the area’s population.

Northern gannets from six colonies in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec migrate to winter in the Gulf annually.

Bill Montevecchi, a Memorial University researcher who has been tracking the birds’ journey to the Gulf of Mexico and back again, said Tuesday hundreds of the gannets were likely killed by oil that spilled after a rig explosion on April 20, 2010.

A year later at the Cape St. Mary’s colony in eastern Newfoundland, Montevecchi said he believed there are signs that some of the thousands of birds that return to the province to lay just one egg each year have been damaged by the spill.

“We think we saw a few birds that had a few spots of oil on them over there.” he said.

We think? Well, that’s good enough for us. Quick, alert the government! Emergency grants must be issued so scientists can begin studying the situation.

This calls for another trip to the Gulf. Probably in the middle of December when it’s minus 30 in Newfoundland and nice and sunny on the Gulf.

Waiter! Another mimosa, please!

California Governor Jerry Brown has cancer removed from nose, allows cancer in state to continue growing

They may have removed the cancer from Jerry Brown’s nose, but the cancer of socialism is still growing unchecked in the state of California.

It’s been said that Jerry Brown was born with a nose for politics. Maybe so, but he has a little less of that nose today.

CBS Sacramento has the proboscis particulars:

Gov. Jerry Brown has undergone surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his nose, his office said Saturday.

Brown nose: They're still ignoring the real cancer in the state of California

The governor’s office said in a statement that Brown, 73, had the procedure under local anesthetic Friday, after tests revealed the presence of basal cell carcinoma, a common, slow-growing form of skin cancer, on the right side of his nose.

“All of the basal carcinoma cells were removed, but some reconstructive surgery to the nose was required as a result of the procedure,” his office said. “Governor Brown is at home and has continued to conduct state business today.”

They may have removed the cancer from Jerry Brown’s nose, but the cancer of socialism is still growing unchecked in the state of California. Everyone knows this ugly growth is killing the patient, but no one is willing to cut it off. In fact, Brown’s solution to the state’s budget crisis is – no surprise – more taxes.

This is one of those cases where the cause of death is known in advance and the obituary is written long before the patient actually dies.

Unbelievable: California bans American flag

The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans), however, has stymied Orcutt, California’s American flag monument, calling it an impermissible act of “public expression.”

Just a few miles down the road from IHateTheMedia.com’s intergalactic headquarters you’ll find the lovely little village of Orcutt, California. There’s trouble in Orcutt.

A private group raised $60,000 to erect a 60-foot flagpole and monument at the entrance to the community’s Old Town section. Since it’s located right between a freeway exit and a park-and-ride lot, it may not be the most picturesque spot. But no one ever said patriotism had to be picturesque.

american flag monument orcutt ban — Scale model of the "offensive" American flag monument in Orcutt, California

Plans for the monument show a 60-foot American flag surrounded by pillars representing each branch of the military.

So far, so good. But now The Weekly Standard reveals what happened when the State of California got involved:

The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans), however, has stymied the effort, calling it an impermissible act of “public expression.”

The Orcutt Pioneer reports that, although the Old Town Orcutt Revitalization Association (OTORA) “intends its flag as a tribute and symbol of freedom” — which would seem to be how most Americans would view their nation’s flag — “CalTrans sees it as a form of speech or expression, something more personal than patriotic.”

OTORA, a typical Tocquevillean-style private civil association, has been fundraising for over a year to collect the necessary $60,000 to build the flagpole and monument, above which would wave a 12-by-18-foot iteration Stars and Stripes. But CalTrans has declared that its policy forbids such efforts. In a letter to OTORA, CalTrans explains that it developed its policy in response to a ruling released by a 3-judge panel of the notorious Ninth Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, a ruling that was issued in response to impromptu flag-hanging in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals? Who ever would have expected those patriots to make a decision like this?

Hang in there, Orcutt.

Outreach to the Muslim world update: Imam says Obama is an apostate who must be executed

How’s that Cairo speech aftermath workin’ for you, President Obama? All those pretty words, all those flowery phrases, all those good intentions gone. Poof. Vanished. Turns out the Muslim world hates Barack Obama every bit as much as they hated George Bush.

angry-muslim — Please stop screaming. We have a headache this morning.

Check out this story from Middle East Media Research Institute:

Following are excerpts from a statement by Sheik ‘Atiyya Muhammad Sa’id, a member of the Sudanese Islamic Scholars Association, at a rally, which was posted on the Internet on May 5, 2011:

Sheik ‘Atiyya Muhammad Sa’id: By Allah, the state of Islam will be established upon the land, whether the infidels like it or not, whether the Jews like it or not, whether that apostate… What’s his name… The one from America… Obama! Obama is a Muslim who has left the fold of Islam. Hence, Allah, the angels, and all the people curse him. He is a real apostate. Obama is an apostate. Obama is an apostate. He left the fold of Islam…

Crowds: The apostate must be executed.

The apostate must be executed.

The apostate must be executed.

The apostate must be executed.

Calm down, guys. Chill. Relax. November 2012 is just around the corner and then you’ll have a new American president to hate.

The only difference will be that the new one won’t bow to your kings and and his attorney general won’t kiss your butts.

Goddess Gaia’s heretic? General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt says he regrets going too green.

Jeff Immelt, the man who’s done more for the green movement than any other CEO in America, has now had a change of heart. At least that’s what he’d have you believe.

Reuters has the story of Immelt’s supposed conversion from the religion of the Goddess Gaia:

“If I had one thing to do over again I would not have talked so much about green,” Immelt said at an event sponsored by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Even though I believe in global warming and I believe in the science … it just took on a connotation that was too elitist; it was too precious and it let opponents think that if you had a green initiative, you didn’t care about jobs. I’m a businessman. That’s all I care about, is jobs.”

Here’s our bottom line:

When Immelt stops taking boatloads of federal dollars, when he stands up against those stupid twisty light bulbs, when he puts out a memo telling NBC to end those moronic green weeks, that’s when we’ll believe anything he has to say on this subject.

He’s a maverick, damn it: John McCain has the second lowest approval rating in the Senate

According to the old saying, “If you try to please everyone, you won’t please anyone.” John McCain is the personification of that saying.

KOLD-TV has the results of a new poll that Arizona’s senior senator will undoubtedly find particularly unpleasant:

angry-john-mccain — If you thought John McCain was angry before, just wait until he sees the results of this poll

John McCain has the second-lowest approval rating among U.S. senators, according to a new poll.

About one-third of Arizona’s registered voters approve of McCain’s job performance — 34 percent compared with 53 percent who disapprove of the job he’s doing — according to a new poll by Public Policy Polling.

That’s a drop from 40 percent approval in January.

Only Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) scored lower among sitting senators, 29 percent to 58 percent.

To repeat, McCain’s approval rating is a lowly 34%.

Let this be a lesson: Officially abandon your party and become the United States Senator with the lowest approval rating. Unofficially abandon your party and become the senator with the second lowest approval rating.

It appears that people have figured out that the definition of maverick is “someone who has no moral convictions and is willing to screw anyone anytime anywhere.”

Verbal gymnastics: White House security adviser … uhhh … uhhhh … defends Obama’s terror policies

White House Security Adviser Tom Donilon showed up on Fox News Sunday and quickly painted himself into a very tiny corner.

He did what he was sent out to do – defend President Obama’s contradictory terror policies – but made himself look remarkably foolish in the process.

Donilon parroted the Obama administration line that waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was against our American values, but didn’t have an answer when host Chris Wallace asked him to explain how that jibed with shooting Osama in the head.

Michael Rubin explains it succinctly in Commentary magazine:

All terrorists deserve death. Perhaps it is time for Americans, Europeans, and their media elite to reexamine their most glaring double standards: If Americans can kill a master terrorist targeting civilians then Israel too should be able to target Hamas leaders in Gaza, Damascus, Oslo, or Dubai, wherever they may be.

In fact, if it were up to us the list would be broadened and include a few non-terrorists.

It would include the guy who did Joe Biden’s hair plugs, Nancy Pelosi’s botoxologist. The guy who’s responsible for Donald Trump’s comb-over. The guys who beat up the Giants’ fan in the Dodger Stadium parking lot. Hamid Karzai’s tailor. Whoever gives Janet Napolitano her testosterone injections. Whoever told Jay Carney he had a personality and should pursue a career in public relations. And finally, the fashion designer who always seems to make Michelle Obama’s ass look like the only thing in the room bigger than her husband’s ego.

Obama the Warrior showed “as much courage as our Navy SEALs”

The media has moved into full Obama hype and hyperbole. America’s most effeminate Commander In Chief is now being touted as a cross between General Patton and Chuck Norris.

Of course, we have to depend on a foreign newspaper like the Telegraph UK to point out the latest ludicrous comment:

obama-ninja — Brave Barack the Ninja Warrior leaped from a burning helicopter, battled a great white shark and then skateboarded in to kill Osama Bin Laden in fierce hand-to-hand combat

There’s been a fair amount of — how shall I put it? — sucking up to President Barack Obama over the past week for his decision to send in the US Navy SEALs to kill Osama bin Laden. Certainly, it was a bold gamble that paid off richly and if it hadn’t it could have crippled his presidency. . . .

But the top prize for the most sycophancy towards Obama this week surely has to be awarded to Wendy Chamberlain, Middle East Institute president and former US ambassador to Pakistan, who had this to say on CNN:

But he made that decision to go without telling Pakistan and that took some real courage, as much courage as our Navy SEALs did in pulling off a near flawless operation.

Hmm. Think about that. Deciding not to tell the Pakistanis makes Obama as brave as one of the SEALs on the Geronimo mission? As brave as a man who rappels down a rope from a Black Hawk into a compound deep in Pakistan at the dead of night knowing that it is the hideout of a mass murderer who happens to be the world’s most wanted terrorist?

Well, maybe not that brave. But definitely brave enough to go on TV and claim credit for it.

Budget brouhaha: Chairman of presidential deficit commission says Ryan’s budget is better than Obama’s

Co-chair the Presidential Deficit Commission, appointed by Barack Obama, says the President’s budget proposal is inferior to Paul Ryan’s plan.

Next thing you know, the President will send a Navy Seal team after Erskine Bowles.

Bowles, a Democrat who co-chaired the Presidential Deficit Commission and was appointed by Barack Obama, says the President’s budget proposal falls short on several key goals. In fact, he says it’s inferior to Paul Ryan’s plan.

Bowles: It is $4 trillion, however, over 12 years. It is heavily back-end loaded, so when you compare it to the Ryan plan and to the Commission’s plan, which also has $4 trillion in savings, it is probably more like $2.5 trillion. And in fairness, the way it is setup, according to our analysis, it really doesn’t stabilize the debt, and the debt as a percentage of GDP gets up to around 77 percent and it never gets to primary balance, which is about a deficit-to-GDP ratio of around 3 percent.

Other than that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Good news! Prince Charles has flown into Washington, DC aboard his private jet to lecture Americans about our wasteful lifestyles. This time the heir to the British throne is upset because we eat too much meat.

Credit the Telegraph UK for the details:

America’s appetite for beef is jeopardising the world’s water supply, the Prince of Wales said during a visit to the US.

In a speech in Washington, the Prince said that the need for vast amounts of irrigation in industrialised food production was threatening to deplete reserves of the “magical substance we have taken for granted for so long”.

“For every pound of beef produced in the industrial system, it takes two thousand gallons of water,” he told the Future of Food conference at Georgetown University.

“That is a lot of water and there is plenty of evidence that the Earth cannot keep up with the demand.”

Americans eat more than 41kg of beef a year on average, according to the UN, almost twice that consumed by Britons and four times the international average.

Back off, bub. Or should we say Prince Bub. We don’t need your kind coming to this country telling us what to eat and what not to eat. That’s Michelle Obama’s job.

We don’t often find ourselves supporting the monarchy, but in this case we pray that Queen Elizabeth live forever.

Obama to motorists: The problem with you is that you don’t give enough money to me

To make things a bit more fair the Obama Administration has started looking into the possibility of instating a mileage tax.

It is said that only two things are certain in life. Those two things are death and taxes. This statement is not entirely true. Any number of Americans don’t pay taxes. We call the majority of those people Obama supporters.

To make things a bit more fair the Obama Administration has started looking into the possibility of instating a mileage tax.

obama mileage tax — Some cars will undoubtedly be exempt from Obama's mileage tax

The Hill drives home the point:

The Obama administration has floated a transportation authorization bill that would require the study and implementation of a plan to tax automobile drivers based on how many miles they drive.

The plan is a part of the administration’s Transportation Opportunities Act, an undated draft of which was obtained this week by Transportation Weekly.

The White House, however, said the bill is only an early draft that was not formally circulated within the administration.

“This is not an administration proposal,” White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said. “This is not a bill supported by the administration. This was an early working draft proposal that was never formally circulated within the administration, does not taken into account the advice of the president’s senior advisers, economic team or Cabinet officials, and does not represent the views of the president.”

News of the draft follows a March Congressional Budget Office report that supported the idea of taxing drivers based on miles driven.

We hope the Obama-bots won’t be too worried though. It seems entirely likely that a significant portion of the funds generated from this mileage tax could be used to provide bus passes.

Obama versus Osama: Putting it all in perspective

Obama uses intelligence gained through a waterboarding he damned from a suspect still kept in a facility he vowed to close to send Special Forces to kill a man who’s a hero to many of the Muslims he vowed to reach out to.

We are now regaled with stories from the left wing propaganda machine telling us about our brave, young Commander In Chief and how he personally led the dangerous mission to get Osama Bin Laden.

Andrew Bolt puts it all in perspective in one very short sentence:

Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama uses intelligence gained through a waterboarding he damned from a suspect still kept in a facility he vowed to close to send Special Forces to kill a man who’s a hero to many of the Muslims he vowed to reach out to. And he reaps the rewards.

If you’ve never read Andrew Bolt’s blog, try it.

He’s writes for the Melbourne Herald-Sun, but it’s a fascinating read not just because he covers so much American news, but because so much Australian news sounds so much like American news.

So much for this story.

Obama has American flag removed from Ground Zero just before TV cameras begin rolling

Obama had the American flag removed from the shot just moments before the TV cameras began rolling at his Osama Bin Laden Victory Tour 2011.

UPDATED UPDATE: Tapper has now said that he was saying that construction workers took the flag down at the end of the day. Certainly not what it sounded like he was saying, but we’ll take his word for it.

NOTE: Is this story correct or not? It appears debatable. Michelle Malkin says it’s not true, but Jake Tapper has not retracted. This leaves us with a very strange situation where a conservative is defending the President and a liberal reporter is dinging him. How about if we straddle the middle by saying take it with a grain of salt until we hear from Tapper.

ABC’s Jake Tapper was so surprised that he tweeted the news that team Obama had the American flag removed from the shot just moments before the TV cameras began rolling at his Osama Bin Laden Victory Tour 2011.

OK, let us reword that. Can you imagine any president other than Jimmy Carter removing an American flag from a site like Ground Zero?

What excuse could there be? The old favorite: We didn’t want to enflame Muslim passions? Or maybe the President didn’t want to find himself in a situation where he’d have to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Or maybe …
