Home run: San Diego Padres wear camouflage uniforms, give free tickets to military and vets

The Padres (wore) their camouflage uniforms Monday night for the opener of the three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Petco Park.

We’ve always been Los Angeles Dodgers fans, but this story is enough to make us consider becoming fans of the team just a couple hours down the freeway. The San Diego Padres have come up with the best damn promotion we’ve ever seen.

It's a beautiful day at the ballpark

SignOnAndSanDiego.com has the details:

The Padres (wore) their camouflage uniforms Monday night for the opener of the three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Petco Park… They also will provide two free tickets to all active, retired and veteran military (with a military I.D. or Padres Veteran Appreciation card).

The Padres usually wear the Marine-inspired camouflage jerseys only on Sundays as a tribute to the military.

But at least one player requested that the uniforms be worn Monday night to honor the military in the wake of the slaying of Osama Bin Laden and to recognize the on-going war against terrorism.

There could be a moment of silence to honor the military personnel who have given up their lives in the pursuit of terrorists.

Go, Padres.

Meanwhile, up the freeway, the Dodgers held “Risk Your Life At the Stadium” Night on Monday. Tuesday will be “Mexican Gang Night” and Wednesday will be “Guess Who the Owner Is” Night.

Note from Administrator: I beg your pardon, Editor. No Dodgers for me, being from San Diego.

Gloria Allred demonstrates anal sex on TV

Publicity whore attorney Gloria Allred has done some very strange things over the years, but this one is right up there at the top of the list.

Publicity whore attorney Gloria Allred has done some very strange things over the years, but this one is right up there at the top of the list.

Why, you may ask yourself, is Gloria Allred simulating anal sex with a baseball bat during a press conference. The explanation follows the clip.

And now, if you’ve fully recovered from the shock of what you just saw, here’s the full video that explains what the hell Allred was doing.

http://youtu.be/MKTSiH4bDtY

In case you are like us and can’t stomach the thought of watching two Gloria Allred video clips in one day, here’s the story:

The Atlanta Braves were playing the San Francisco Giants. Allred’s client was at the game with his two young daughters.

For some unexplained reason, Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell allegedly began screaming “homophobic slurs” at the San Francisco fans. Oh, if only the idiot had stopped there. But no, he is also accused of using a nearby baseball bat to simulate anal sex.

Allred’s client naturally took offense and complained that the coach’s words and actions were offensive to his two young daughters. We have to agree. The irate McDowell allegedly responded by screaming, “Kids don’t f@¢king belong at the baseball park.”

Allred, always in search of a TV camera, held a press conference Wednesday to demanded that McDowell and the Braves apologize and be fined.

Unfortunately, that press conference quickly strayed from the normal Allred publicity seeking circus into the land of the truly bizarre. She read the transcript of McDowell’s alleged remarks aloud while reenacting the event with her client while his two young girls tried to pretend they were somewhere else. Anywhere else.

What happened at the ballpark was bad enough. But we’re still trying to figure out why anyone would subject their young daughters to the humiliation of this press conference.

Apparently Gloria believes everyone wants to be in front of a camera as much as she does.

New York Times supports deficit spending. And to prove it, they’re losing $900 million on sale of Boston Globe.

The New York Times, that stalwart defender of all things liberal, put its money where its mouth is this week by demonstrating its own commitment to deficit spending.

The New York Times, that stalwart defender of all things liberal, put its money where its mouth is this week by demonstrating its own commitment to deficit spending.

AFP reports on the particulars of the Times’ investment prowess:

In a weird sort of way you have to admire the New York Times' commitment to deficit spending

The Boston Globe reported Friday that a businessman is preparing to offer more than $200 million to buy the struggling newspaper from its owner, The New York Times Co.

The Boston Globe said Aaron Kushner will make a formal offer within the next few weeks for the Times Co.’s New England Media Group, which includes the Boston Globe, Boston.com, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette of central Massachusetts and Telegram.com.

… The Times Co., whose holdings include The New York Times and International Herald Tribune in addition to The Boston Globe, sought a buyer for the Globe in 2009 but failed to receive bids attractive enough to merit a sale.

The Times Co. bought the Boston Globe for $1.1 billion in 1993 but the value of the newspaper has plummeted since then, along with the fortunes of the US newspaper industry.

To review: The Times paid $1.1 billion and is selling for $200 million. In other words, they lost $900 million on this nifty little transaction. In other other words, they lost 82% of their original investment.

These geniuses have a big future in the Obama administration.

Attendance at immigration reform rallies falls from hundreds of thousands to hundreds

Osama Bin Laden wasn’t the only death on Sunday. May Day immigration reform rallies across the country died, too.

Osama Bin Laden wasn’t the only death on Sunday. May Day immigration reform rallies across the country died, too.

In Los Angeles, for example, organizers boasted that 50,000 energized protesters would rally for immigration reform in on May Day. In reality, only a few hundred showed up.

At the rate they're going, immigration protest organizers will be able to hold their next rally in this phone booth

The Los Angeles Times reports the sad news:

There were American flags, union banners and vendors hawking treats such as ice cream and hot dogs wrapped in bacon.

But what was missing from this year’s May Day march on a crystal-clear Sunday morning were the crowds.

By 10 a.m. only a few hundred immigrant rights and labor activists had gathered at Broadway and Olympic Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles to rally public support for legislation that would legalize the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants.

“It’s really sad,” Luis Ortiz, an ice cream vendor who has been coming to the rallies for the last 15 years, said of the small turnout. “I’ve sold very little, almost nothing.”

Similar sparsely attended rallies were held in other major cities across the country.

You know your movement’s in trouble when you draw more vendors than protesters.

Night of the living brain dead: Zombies protest Republican congressman’s support of Ryan budget

Zombies against Social Security cuts: Perhaps the most ineffective protest we've ever seen

MyFoxOrlando.com has the overview of the overzealous:

A group of “zombies” gathered outside 8th District Republican Congressman Daniel Webster’s office on Thursday. They weren’t looking for “brains” to eat though. The protesters wore heavy make-up to get in character. They’re members of a group called “Organize Now.”

They describe themselves as an issue-based, community action group. They’re upset that Webster’s supporting Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan’s budget plan. It includes deep cuts to social security, Medicare and Medicaid. The group says they dressed as zombies to dramatize their message for Webster.

“Organize Now” member Mike Cantone says, “We’re saying don’t work us ’til we die under the Ryan budget, which Congressman Webster did vote for. This budget would eliminate Medicare as we know it and turn it into a voucher system. It would slash Medicaid benefits to seniors, children and people with disabilities who depend on it. And it threatens the future of social security that we all pay into.”

Don’t look now, kids, but the social security that we all pay into is already broke. Politicians have been raiding it for decades. It’s dead as the zombies you’re pretending to be. And it ain’t coming back to life without Ryan’s plan.

We suggest that Republicans stage a counter protest dressed as vampires, symbolizing the government’s on-going effort to suck the lifeblood out of every tax paying citizen.

Give him credit for originality: Bloomberg plan would allow illegal aliens to move to Detroit

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, would like to pass a law letting immigrants come in as long as they agree to move to Detroit and live there.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a man who fancies himself presidential material, came up with a very odd plan on Sunday’s Meet the Press.

He thinks we could reinvigorate Detroit by allowing illegal aliens to move there. Sort of a free pass, a get out of jail free green card.

Let’s let Bloomberg explain it himself:

“If I were the federal government, assuming you could wave a magic wand and pull everybody together, you pass a law letting immigrants come in as long as they agree to go to Detroit and live there for five or ten years.”

It’s sort of like just eliminating the United States off the map and moving Tijuana up there next to Canada.

Open season: California Democrat Party chairman thinks Jerry Brown should shoot Republicans

Remember just a few months ago when using the word target was so offensive that it caused Democrats to swoon? Well, times have changed in California.

Remember just a few months ago when using the word target was so offensive that it caused Democrats to swoon? Well, times have changed in California.

The Contra Costa Times tells the vivid tale of violent imagery:

john burton shoot republicans
If you won't vote for higher taxes, John Burton thinks you should be shot

John Burton, the state Democratic Party chairman, came under fire Friday for suggesting Gov. Jerry Brown “try shooting” a Republican to persuade them to vote for taxes.

In an interview with Bay Area News Group this week, Burton said Brown “can try shooting somebody and tell the next guy, ‘You don’t want that to happen to you, you better step up and vote.’ “… What’s Jerry going to do unless he took out a gun?”

What have those evil Republicans done to so outrage the state’s top Democrat?

They’ve refused to vote for tax increases.

Why shooting’s too good for those bastards. They should be horse whipped. Drawn and quartered. Maybe even forced to watch old Arnold Scharzenegger campaign speeches.

Strangest concept ever: Will Barack Obama become the next King of England?

Is there a fear that Barack and Michelle would appear to the “black Commonwealth” as superior to Charles and Camilla as future leaders of the Commonwealth.

Wikipedia calls Geoffrey Robertson “an Australian-born human rights lawyer, academic, author and broadcaster who holds dual Australian and British citizenship.”

Based on his recent article in Australia’s National Times, we’d call him a lunatic.

obama-king
And Joe Biden can be the court jester!

It is an open secret at the Commonwealth Secretariat that they do not want Charles III to be the next head of the Commonwealth when the Queen retires—they are looking for someone more inspiring. Mandela, once the favourite candidate, is now too old. But there is an even better candidate whose name is being mentioned as an alternative to Charles in due course, namely ex-President Obama, with his Kenyan ancestry (as some believe, Kenyan birth).

There are rumours that the palace’s refusal to invite him to the wedding was neither oversight nor overslight but a fear that Barack and Michelle would appear to the “black Commonwealth” as superior to Charles and Camilla as future leaders of the Commonwealth.

They’ll make a movie about his life. It’ll be called “The King’s Endless Speeches.”

Build it and they won’t come: Arizona governor authorizes state to erect a border fence

The good people of Arizona seem to understand a simple truth: If the federal government won’t do its job, the state will have to do it for them. In this case, the job in question is that of protecting the border against an invasion.

We haven't seen a glare like that since Dirty Harry said, "Feelin' lucky today, punk?"

CBS News has wall-to-wall coverage of the new wall:

A bill signed into law by Gov. Jan Brewer authorizes erection of a security fence along Arizona’s portion of the U.S.-Mexico border, either in a compact with other states or by itself.

Spokesman Matt Benson declined immediate comment Friday on why Brewer signed the bill Thursday and on whether she plans to invoke the authority.
The bill does not specify a cost or make an appropriation but says the state would use donations, inmate labor and private contractors.

Brewer recently asked President Barack Obama to extend the deployment of National Guard troops along the border and for more substantial border fences to block smugglers.

Our advice? Make it a do-it-yourself project, Jan. Send out a call for volunteers with hammers and nails and you’ll probably have about a million volunteers to help build that fence in no time at all.

Illegal aliens on parade: They left out un-freakin-believable

The Associated Press has details of what should more accurately be called the Illegal Alien Education Act:

Stepping up his demand to change the nation’s immigration laws, President Barack Obama promised graduates at a vast, multicultural community college in Miami on Friday that he’ll keep working to help students not legally in the U.S. to become American citizens.

The president’s renewed endorsement of the DREAM Act, which has become a rallying cry for Hispanic and other students around the country, drew enthusiastic applause from more than 3,000 graduates of Miami Dade College at their commencement ceremony. The students are part of an increasingly important political constituency in a state that will be crucial to the president’s 2012 re-election hopes.

The college graduates more Hispanic students than any other higher education institution in the U.S. Obama took note that some students had recently identified themselves publicly as immigrants without legal status in the country.

“Some were brought here as young children and discovered the truth only as adults,” he said. “They put their futures on the line in hopes they will spur the rest of us to live up to our most cherished values.”

Live up to our most cherished values? When did legalizing and educating criminals become one of our most cherished values.

That’s one of your most cherished values, Mr. President, not one of ours.

Calling Jimmy Carter a “useful idiot” would be a waste of one word

Carter has never met an anti-American dictator he didn’t love, but at least we can’t recall him ever bowing to one.

Remember back when Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy was thought of as the family idiot? Feel free to consider those the good ol’ days because Jimmy is proving himself not only to be the worst President in recent history, but the worst ex-President.

Politico.com has the story:

Wrapping up his visit this week to Pyongyang, former President Jimmy Carter says relations between North Korea and South Korea are “currently at rock bottom.” Nonetheless, he said he believes the North is committed to getting talks underway.

Carter was joined on the three-day trip by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland and former Irish President Mary Robinson. . . .

Carter also used his trip to North Korea to observe the country’s food rationing system. That the United States and South Korea have chosen “to deliberately withhold food aid to the North Korean people because of political or military issues not related is really indeed a human rights violation,” he said.

Yes, Jimmy Carter says the United States is guilty of human rights violations for deliberately withholding food from a nation that intentionally closes itself off from the rest of the world and routinely starves its own citizens.

Proof Obama’s ignoring the economy: He tours tornado alley and says “I’ve never seen devastation like this”

He toured Alabama after it was hit by a powerful tornado and expressed shock at the destruction. If he wants to see even worse devastation, he should take a look at the impact his Keynesian economic policies have had

Well, there you have it. Let’s have no more debate about the issue. President Obama came right out and admitted that he hasn’t been paying enough attention to the economy.

2008: Pelosi blames high gas prices on “oil men in the White House”

If Nancy Pelosi blamed high gas prices on “the oil men in the White House” back in 2008, shouldn’t she blame today’s high gas prices on the snake oil men in the White House?

Back in 2008 Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, “The price of oil is at the doorstep. Four dollars plus per gallon for oil is attributed to two oil men in the White House.”

Oddly enough, Pelosi is now conspicuously silent about gas prices. No public comments. No press conferences. No interviews.

Here’s a question for you: If Nancy Pelosi blamed high gas prices on “the oil men in the White House” back in 2008, shouldn’t she blame today’s high gas prices on the snake oil men in the White House?

Freedom of Information Act documents reveal that Obama got the “slippery character” gene from his father

New information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act reveals that government and university officials didn’t much care for Barack Obama’s father.

This may not be a great revelation – we always assumed he was a bit of a sleazeball – but new information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act reveals that government and university officials didn’t much care for Barack Obama’s father.

barack-obama-and-father
"Hey, son, check out the bazoombas on that one over there."

The Daily Mail UK has the unsavory specifics:

Though the proof that he was actually born in Hawaii may silence some critics, a new, rather more interesting side of his life has emerged – that his father Barack Obama senior was a serial womaniser and polygamist who government and university officials were trying to force out of the country.

Obama senior married Stanley Ann Dunham, a white student from Kansas, not only when he was said to have already been married to a woman in Kenya, but at a time when interracial marriages were still illegal in many parts of the U.S.
Documents obtained from the U.S. immigration service paint a picture of a man who ‘had an eye for the ladies’ and, according to his file, had to be warned several times to stay away from girls at the university.

Heather Smathers, a investigative journalist with the Arizona Independent, obtained the files through a Freedom of Information request.

A memo from a University of Hawaii foreign student advisor said that Obama senior had ‘been running around with several girls since he first arrived here and last summer she cautioned him about his playboy ways. Subject replied that he would “try” to stay away from the girls.’

It also considered his earlier Kenya marriage as a grounds to deny him a visa extension but concluded that ‘polygamy was not an excludable or deportation charge’.

He is further described as ‘a slippery character’, and his relationships with ‘several women’ are discussed and investigated, while questions about his ‘marital problems’ are repeatedly raised.

Another immigration memo, from June 1964, records that Harvard officials were trying ‘to get rid of him’ and ‘couldn’t seem to figure out how many wives he had’.

A philandering father and a mother named Stanley. That’s enough to screw up any kid.

Uh-oh. 57% of Americans disapprove of Obama’s handling of economy

What the hell is wrong with the 43% who don’t disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy.

First time unemployment numbers continue to hover over 400,000 per week. We’re this close to a double dip recession. The debt is soaring. The dollar in sinking. Far as we’re concerned, the only question that arises from this new Marist poll is this:

barack-obama-laughing
Mission accomplished: America's economy destroyed

What the hell is wrong with the 43% who don’t disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy.

McClatchyDC.com has the details:

Public disapproval of President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy reached a new high in mid-April, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll, as gasoline prices neared $4 a gallon and Washington lawmakers fought a bitter battle over the federal budget.

Some 57 percent of registered voters said they disapproved of Obama’s economic management, while only 40 percent approved. That’s the lowest score of his presidency.

“These numbers spell political trouble,” said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the survey. “To get re-elected with a 57 percent disapproval rating would be a very tall order.”

Meanwhile, public pessimism is growing: Fifty-seven percent of U.S. adults said they thought the worst was yet to come for the U.S economy, up sharply from 39 percent in January. And 71 percent said the nation was still in a recession, even though the slump, which began in December 2007, officially ended in June 2009.

Yes. The worst is yet to come. It’s more than a year and a half until the next election and no Republicans stand out yet.

No more pussyfooting around claiming they’re moderates. They’ve even given up claims that they’re merely liberal and gone straight to extremist.

The new ad campaign gives each of the hosts a chance to one-up the others by revealing just how out there they are.

Lawrence O’Donnell doesn’t think Barack Obama is liberal enough. Probably doesn’t think Stalin was, either.

Don’t loan Rachel Maddow money. Since she seems to think the country’s finances are in great shape we’d hate to see what her checking balance looks like.

Hop and change comes to the Australian legal system

An Australian academic, Dr. John Hadley of the University of Western Sydney, has broken new legal ground by suggesting the setting up of courts to protect property rights for animals.

No. Really? An academic came up with this concept? Who ever would have suspected.

Certain difficulties seem to lie in the way, however. How will Counsel take instructions from clients? How will questions of undue influence be avoided in the case of less intelligent creatures? (Wombats and the like are not generally distinguished by their brain-power.) Who will have locus standi in cases of sheep owned by farmers? Should the creatures concerned decide to bequeath their property, how are wills going to be witnessed and proved valid?

Another problem: koalas are said to be permanently drunk on the alcohol fumes from the eucalyptus-leaves that form their diet. Here again forensic difficulties may arise.

There is nothing more magnificent in nature than seeing a kangaroo gracefully bounding across the Australian outback. And nothing more asinine than seeing an animal activist chasing behind to inform it of its rights.

Ed Schultz comes up with a brilliant theory: It’s racist to question Obama’s intelligence

Ronald Reagan can be called stupid with impunity. Ditto for George Bush. But call Barack Obama unintelligent and you’re a racist.

We really need some kind of scorecard. Because we can’t keep up with the rapidly growing list of things Democrats define as racist. For example, according to Ed Schultz it’s now racist to question Obama’s intelligence.

Here’s what the genius said Wednesday on his MSNBC show:

You mean to tell me that [Trump’s] questioning the academic prowess of one of the smartest presidents we’ve ever had? Mr. Trump, when you start getting your advice from all of the special, special Republican advisers that we’ve seen step to the plate in the past instead of Jerome Corsi. Dude, you could do better than that… This is what the Republican Party stands for, though: racism. I think Donald Trump is a racist.

Based on what, Ed, have you determined that Obama is “one of the smartest Presidents we’ve ever had?” His extemporaneous speaking skills without a Teleprompter? The incredible success of his economic plan?

Ronald Reagan can be called stupid with impunity. Ditto for George Bush. But call Barack Obama unintelligent and you’re a racist.

Is it racist to question Ed Schultz’ intelligence?

Mother of all battles in the House: Styrofoam cups or paper cups in the Capitol Cafeteria

As the United States dollar swirls down the drain of international finance, the House of Representatives has its eye on bigger battles: Should the Capital Cafeteria be using Styrofoam cups or paper cups?

As the United States dollar swirls down the drain of international finance, the House of Representatives has its eye on bigger battles: Should the Capital Cafeteria be using Styrofoam cups or paper cups?

styrofoam-cup-of-death
Democrats fear the dreaded Styrofoam cup of death. Republicans fear spending money. We fear they're all morons.

The Media Research Center has the vital details:

As part of Green is Universal week, NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell highlighted a fight between Republicans and Democrats over the use of Styrofoam in the House cafeterias. On Thursday’s Today show, O’Donnell reported, “Many Democrats are boiling mad because Republicans, now in charge of building operations, put a fork in the bio-degradable utensils Democrats had picked.”

O’Donnell went on to relay the concerns of Democratic Congressman George Miller as she noted that he had alarmingly tweeted to Republicans, “Stop serving carcinogens to constituents,” and then aired a soundbite of Miller (while he was brandishing a Styrofoam cup) hyperbolically exclaiming: “This cup is a very expensive cup. It’s very expensive to the environment, it’s very expensive to our energy policy and it’s very expensive, in some cases, to the health of individuals.”

Styrofoam causes cancer? We’re not saying it’s not true, just that we’ve never heard that one. Of course, according to “researchers” everything causes cancer, so what the hell. Why not Styrofoam, too.

However O’Donnell did present the GOP side of the story as she reported that the House composting program, first implemented by a then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was costing the taxpayers “a half million dollars a year” and added: “Many diners complained those compostable cups, forks, and spoons broke easily and even melted in hot soup or coffee.”

Absolutely. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve lamented having to use compostable cups. Far as we’re concerned, and we think you’ll agree, carcinagenic cups give your lunch a special tang that compostable cups just can’t match.

Good lord, these people are complete buffoons. We think we could use compostable drink right about now.
