Years ago, the Editor used to drop in unannounced at his friendly competitor’s office. One day one of the competitor’s employees approached the Editor in the hallway and angrily said, “Know what’s wrong with this place? Too many milkers, not enough cows.”
And that, friends, is the problem with socialism as unwittingly demonstrated by the protesters in Madison.

In 2008, Candidate Obama held a campaign rally at Illinois’ Old State Capitol to announce Joe Biden as his running mate. Now they are stiffing the city for the cost of security.
Springfield mayor Frank Edwards is pissed off. Back in August 2008, Presidential candidate Barack Obama held a campaign rally at Illinois’ Old State Capitol to announce Joe Biden as his running mate. Now the deadbeat and the running mate are stiffing the city for the cost of security.
St. Louis Today has the details of the mayor’s debt threat:
Edwards has written President Barack Obama seeking the balance of the bill the city ran up for police when the then-candidate visited in 2008 to announce his running mate.
The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reports that the city submitted a bill for $68,139. It’s still owed $55,457.
The interim mayor says there appears to be confusion about whether the Secret Service or the White House owes the money.
Edwards wrote that “sometimes only the executive himself can cut through such inter-departmental differences of opinion.”
He says he’s not trying to embarrass anyone, but times are tight.
If President Obama can’t scrape together enough cash to pay this bill, perhaps he should handle it the same way he pays every other bill:
Borrow the money from China.

He wants to know why gas costs so much, and he wants to make sure no funny stuff is going on with the markets.
Challenging times demand timely challenges. And just as JFK once spurred the country to greatness with words of leadership, wisdom and inspiration -so now has BO laid forth his challenge to this nation of ours. But instead of merely landing a man on the moon and returning him safely Obama has given the country a far more exacting mandate. He wants to know why gas costs so much, and he wants to make sure no funny stuff is going on with the markets.
Marketwatch has the score:
President Barack Obama ordered a probe into potential gasoline price-gouging on Friday and said the government is watching for manipulation in oil markets.
Speaking at a White House press conference, Obama said he’s asked his attorney general and U.S. government agencies to work with state attorneys general to monitor for gasoline-price gouging, “to make sure that nobody is taking advantage of working families at the pump.”
As good American subjects, we here at IHateTheMedia.com have heard the President’s call and will answer.
Dear Mr. Obama:
Gas prices are high for a number of reasons. Here are some of the biggies:
1. You’ve decreased supply by banning drilling in the Gulf and ANWR. There has been no such similar decrease in demand. Scarcity of the resource has increased its value.
2. Congress has mandated the combining of gasoline with ethanol. This ethanol has led to food shortages across the world. These food shortages have resulted in the destabilization of oil producing nations. Speculation on the further scarcity of oil, due to regional difficulties, has greatly increased the price of gasoline.
3. The government taxes the hell out of it.
4. Your economic policies have destroyed the value of the dollar. As a consequence it takes more of them to buy every barrel of oil.
With warmest personal regards,
The Guys at IHateTheMedia.com

File this one in the folder labeled “Least Surprising Things That Have Happened This Week.” NPR has whipped out its corporate cookie cutter and used it to replace disgraced CEO Vivian Schiller.
The Daily Caller has the details:
If NPR is trying demonstrate in the wake of the video scandal that it embraces a diversity of viewpoints and is not the left-wing outlet it has been portrayed to be, its first move after the resignation of president and CEO Vivian Schiller isn’t a particularly good start.
After Schiller announced her resignation on Wednesday, the NPR Board of Directors promptly named Joyce Slocum as NPR’s interim CEO. According to a statement from NPR, Slocum’s appointment was part of a CEO succession plan adopted by the Board in 2009. Slocum, however, appears to be just another Democrat.
According to data from the Center for Responsive Politics website OpenSecrets.org, Slocum has donated $3,480 dating back to 1999 — all to Democratic candidates.
This barely qualifies as news. News would have been if they had hired someone who had even once in his or her life donated to a conservative. Or someone who would even admit to knowing one.
Yeah, if that were to happen NPR would be forced to do one of those “We interrupt this broadcast for this special news bulletin” announcements.

Councils across the UK are refusing to pick up low-energy lightbulbs from homes as they contain toxic mercury, which gives off poisonous vapours.
But confused consumers are putting the new bulbs — classed as hazardous waste — in their dustbins when they burn out, potentially putting the safety of thousands of binmen at risk.
… A study by Germany’s Federal Environment Agency found that when [a compact fluorescent bulb] breaks, it emits levels of toxic vapour up to 20 times higher than the safe guideline limit for an indoor area.
The Republicans are making some muted noises about repealing the law behind this idiotic lightbulb, but we don’t expect them to see the light until it’s too late.

A group of Muslims bought some land in Texas, but apparently never bothered to check out how the neighboring land was being used. That was an unfortunate lapse…
This story is from 2008, but we’d never seen it until it was emailed to us by Miles, the Editor’s tax guy:
A group of Muslims bought some land in Texas, but apparently never bothered to check out how the neighboring land was being used. That was an unfortunate lapse, because the land adjacent to the planned mosque was a pig farm.
The owner of the pig farm got pissed off when the Imam called him a liar at a local planning commission meeting. So instead of getting rid of his pigs he built a track and began training the porkers to race. Now he holds pig races each week during the mosque’s Friday night services.
The pig races are pretty funny on their own, but as far as we’re concerned, the highlight of the video clip is right at the beginning when Shep Smith tries to keep a straight face while his production crew cracks up in the background.

Arlington police say a brawl broke out during the DMV music awards ceremony, sending one person to a local hospital.
Police say five people were treated Saturday night at the scene of the awards ceremony, which honors local rap, hip-hop and R&B performers.
About 1,500 people attended the ceremony at the Crystal City Hyatt, and witnesses said more than 20 police vehicles responded to deal with a half dozen fights that broke out.

While falsely accusing Limbaugh and Hannity of using these fake calls, Schultz confessed that he has used fake callers and said the fakes were actually Democratic Party staffers.
The lunatic left is at it again. They’ve taken a fact, twisted it beyond recognition, and convinced themselves that it’s something it isn’t.
The background: Premiere Radio Networks said it offers paid actors for call-ins to radio hosts. They explained later that the service is designed for FM entertainment shows, not AM talk shows, but libs had already jumped to the conclusion that Premier-syndicated talk shows like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity must be using those paid actors.
Enter poor, dumb Ed Schultz.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has created a whole bunch of jobs by raiding Phoenix restaurants and arresting dozens of illegal aliens for identity theft crimes.
We doubt that President Obama has saved or created any jobs for Americans, but we know for a fact that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has. Fact is, he created a whole bunch of ’em by raiding Phoenix restaurants and arresting dozens of illegal aliens for identity theft crimes.
Voila! Jobs for Americans.
Ahhh, but what about the old canard that illegal aliens do jobs that Americans won’t do? “Crap,” said one woman with a Masters degree who was willing to take one of the $8 per hour jobs being offered at Phoenix’ Pei Wei Chinese restaurant.
Liberals, as always, contradict themselves when it comes to jobs and illegal aliens. On one hand they say, “There are no jobs.” On the other hand they say, “Illegal aliens do the jobs that Americans won’t do.”
Which is it? Choose one. Because you can’t have it both ways.

Things aren’t going well for Democrats and the nanny state these days. Not well at all. The juxtaposition of these two stories demonstrates exactly what we mean.
At 8:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, this story broke at TheHill.com:
Democrats complain Styrofoam cups in the House cafeteria could contain carcinogens.
In a letter to Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) and other Republican leaders, the nine Democrats say the Styrofoam cups and other dining materials could hold chemical components that could cause cancer. The Democrats are upset with the switch to Styrofoam from recyclable materials put into place when Democrats ran the House.
The letter asks Boehner to reconsider the switch away from recyclable to polystyrene-based foam containers, and warns that the health of visitors to the Capitol could be compromised.
Two hours later, this story broke in the Telegraph UK:
Recycled Paper Causes Cancer?
Breakfast cereal manufacturers are to stop using recycled cardboard in packaging after a study indicated that current boxes could pose a cancer risk.
Jordans — whose brands include Country Crisp and Crunchy Oats — has already stopped using recycled cardboard, while Kellogg’s and Weetabix say they are taking steps to reduce the risk to human health.The alert was sparked when researchers in Switzerland found that mineral oils in printing ink from recycled newspapers used in cardboard can get into foods — even passing through protective inner plastic bags.
Only one conclusion can be reached:
Democrats want to kill people and they must be stopped because that is the exclusive purview of Republicans.

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s iPod gift to Obama was filled with an assortment of Aussie music, including some anti-American songs from Midnight Oil.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard visited the White House on Wednesday and gave President Obama an iPod. Imagine the joy on the manchild’s face when he saw the iPod, assumed he was being re-gifted the same iPod he gave Queen Elizabeth and got excited about the thought of being able to listen to his own speeches again.
No such luck. Gillard’s iPod was filled with an assortment of Aussie music, including some anti-American songs from Midnight Oil.
The Sydney Morning Herald explains:
As the lead singer with politically edged Aussie rock band Midnight Oil, Peter Garrett railed against “US forces”.
Now the Oils – whose singer is a minister in the federal Labor government – feature on US President Barack Obama’s iPod.
The music player, chock-full of Australian pop and rock music, was a gift to the American leader from Julia Gillard on her first visit to Washington as Prime Minister.
While US forces doesn’t feature on the iPod, the Oils songs include King of the Mountain, Blue Sky Mine, Beds are Burning and Short Memory – a lament of the superpower’s interference in nations such as El Salvador, Cambodia and Afghanistan.
Unfortunately, the most Aussie of all Aussie rock songs, Men At Work’s Land Down Under, was not included. So we’ll do what Julia Gillard didn’t do and offer it here.
Hell of a lot better than an Obama speech.
And, c’mon, Julia, what about the very first international hit by an Aussie artist, Rolf Harris’ Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport?

Jake Tapper, Cokie Roberts and George Will get together on ABC’s This Week to discuss last week’s revelations about NPR’s leftwing bias.
Jake Tapper, Cokie Roberts and George Will get together on ABC’s This Week to discuss last week’s revelations about NPR’s leftwing bias. Needless to say, Roberts and Will didn’t see eye to eye.
Tapper: Cokie, you’ve been at NPR for almost 40 years. Obviously this institution means a lot to you, but why should we care?
Roberts: Look, I should just say that they did then reject that money, and sent internal e-mails basically saying this is totally unacceptable. We have to have tax forms, all of that. So, that should be stated. But, look, we should care because 34 million people listen every week and want to get the news that you get there, that you can’t get any place else. NPR’s got seventeen foreign bureaus. That’s something you can’t say for any other broadcast organization these days. And brings you terrific information, day in and day out, week in and week out. And the reporters who are there on the line, being shot at in North Africa at the moment are being very badly served by the management that’s now gone.
Cokie, honey, the reason they have more foreign bureaus than any other network is because the American taxpayers give them $450,000,000 per year.
Tapper: George, very quickly.
Will: We learned this week redundantly that NPR is run by people who don’t like people like me. Which is fine. The problem is there are 14,000 radio stations in this country. The government shouldn’t be subsidizing neither entertainment, certainly not journalism. In fact, this is a solution in search of a problem.
Roberts: Well, there are not 14,000 radio stations in rural areas, which is where most of the federal funding goes. Most of those stations are the ones that, NPR gets hardly any money from the federal government, and the big stations get hardly any money. But the little, tiny, rural stations that, where there’s nothing else on the air, get a lot of money and they would go dark.
So we’re spending $450 million per year to subsidize NPR so that “little, tiny, rural stations” can broadcast to areas where virtually no one lives?
Take a few minutes, Cokie. We’re pretty sure you can come up with a better argument than that.

The Congressional Budget Office – you know, the guys the Democrats said were unimpeachable sources during the ObamaCare debate – now says the Dems’ proposal doesn’t quite add up.
Remember last week when the Democrats touted the fact that they were proposing a miniscule $6.5 billion in budget cuts? To hear them tell it, they were going after the budget with a chain saw, hacking away at spending like there was no tomorrow.
Surprise, surprise. The Congressional Budget Office – you know, the guys the Democrats said were unimpeachable sources during the ObamaCare debate – now says the Dems’ proposal doesn’t quite add up.
ABC’s Jake Tapper checks in with the specifics:
After last week’s meeting on Capitol Hill among congressional leaders and Vice President Biden, Senate Democrats wrote legislation and gave it to CBO to be analyzed.
CBO put the cuts at $4.7 billion.
Well, c’mon now. $4.7 billion with a b is nothing to sneeze at. And that doesn’t even include the Cowboy Poetry Festival.

The leftwing blogosphere is atwitter about the fact that those bastards at Fox News lied by trying to pass off a violent protest in California as a violent protest in Madison, Wisconsin. IHateTheMedia.com even picked up a new troll who made repeated references to “the Fox News palm tree lie.”
Here’s the video clip that started the whole brouhaha:
And here’s the description that accompanied that clip at YouTube:
Fox News is at it again! Here’s a clip form tonights O’Rielly show with reporter Mike Tobin. They are still lying and deceiving people! You’ve gotta see this. They spliced in a clip from some place else to make it seem as though there was a rowdy crowd in Madison Wisconsin. Look closely for the palm trees in the background (I have yet to see a palm tree in Madison). UNBELIEVABLE!! FOX NEWS LIES AGAIN!
So did Fox lie? Based on that clip, it sure look like it. Ahhh, but not so fast. Mediaite took a look at the whole story and reached a different conclusion.
While, in the 43-second clip that’s being linked to on YouTube, it does look like Fox News lied, but watching the entire segment for context makes it clear that they did not.
The segment in question occurred during The O’Reilly Factor as Bill O’Reilly was discussing the anger in the union protests. At the top of the piece, he rolled footage of a number of the “union thug” videos that have become so popular on Right Wing news sites in the past few weeks. O’Reilly clearly identified the videos as collectively coming from “all over the country.” … this B-roll footage was replayed again during the rest of the segment, including during an interview with Mike Tobin, Fox News’ reporter who’s been on the ground in Wisconsin.
Here’s the unedited video:

In an administration that’s already exceeded its quota of boobs and dunces, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar stands out as for his complete ineptitude. His explanation of why the Obama administration opposes drilling for oil in the Arctic not only defies logic, but very nearly defies comprehension.
CNSNews.com has the story of Salazar’s shortsightedness:
CNSNews.com asked Salazar, “Given the rising cost of gasoline why is the administration opposed to drilling in the arctic refuge?”
“We don’t believe that you need to drill everywhere and we don’t believe that the ‘drill, baby, drill’ program is the way that’s going to get us to the energy independence that we need for America or that will power our economy and that’s why the President has been so clear from day one and we in the Department of Interior have been so clear that what we need to do is need to have a robust energy program that includes a number of different sources of energy and while yes, we are pushing forward with oil and gas development both offshore and onshore which was the subject of much of the hearing today, we’re also moving forward with renewable energy,” he told CNSNews.com after testifying before the House Natural Resources Committee about his Department’s FY2012 budget.

According to the Inspector General, Penn State is guilty of a whitewash of an investigation into Climategate and one of the scandal’s central figures, Michael Mann.
When it comes to independent inquiries, a federal Inspector General thinks that Penn State has an interesting take on the concept. “Independent” appears to mean totally not independent and “inquiry” seems to mean a way to avoid any type of investigation.
According to that Inspector General, Penn State is guilty of a whitewash (or, in keeping with the school’s colors, a blue and white wash) of an investigation into Climategate and one of the scandal’s central figures, Michael Mann.
Penn State is being thrown to the Nittany Lions on a couple of things for its “independent” inquiry. Specifically, the school never interviewed a key witness who could corroborate – or not – the fact that Mann hid data that might disprove global warming theories. They also never asked whether Mann deleted or asked anyone else to delete the data.
While the official report on the inquiries hasn’t been released, early indications are that the school’s Happy Valley nickname may need to be revised.

It was the highest number of people in an Ipsos poll who think the country on the wrong track since Obama took office in January 2009. The survey comes as many indicators show an improving U.S. economy.
64% of the American people agree that we’re on the wrong track?

“I think it is a look inside what NPR executives really think and for me this is a revelation in the sense that here they are saying exactly how they view the world,” Williams commented. “And what’s incredible to me is here they are doing business with people who identify themselves of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
