If you saw it in a movie, you’d say it was so preposterous that it was a fatal flaw in the plot. It’s just so unbelievable that it’s…well…unbelievable.

Of course, Fox News reported the story that the other networks couldn’t be bothered with:
Mexican oil, sí! American oil, no!
Despite President Obama’s moratorium on U.S. deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Export-Import Bank intends to guarantee $1 billion in loans to PEMEX, the Mexican state oil company, to bolster the company’s oil drilling in the region.
The bank, which is the official American export credit agency, loaned more than $1 billion to PEMEX in 2009 — when the company was the bank’s largest borrower — in support of its drilling activities. That year, the bank also guaranteed two loans totaling $300 million made by a commercial lender.
The latest request comes during a drilling moratorium that was first imposed by Obama in May to find out what was the cause behind the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons of oil spewing from BP’s undersea well.
After a federal court struck down the ban amid complaints that it threatened thousands of jobs in the offshore oil industry, the Obama administration issued a new moratorium in July on most deep-water drilling activities that is in effect until Nov. 30.
The Export-Import Bank said the moratorium doesn’t affect its pending deal with PEMEX.

Another day, another scandal for the Congressional Black Caucus. Now Sanford Bishop, a Georgia Democrat, has been accused of awarding scholarships from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to family members.
Another day, another scandal for the Congressional Black Caucus.
Now Sanford Bishop, a Georgia Democrat, has been accused of awarding scholarships from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to family members. Specifically, his stepdaughter and wife’s niece. And no one can scream racism on this one, because the details come straight from the records of the non-profit group itself.
Politico.com has the details:
Sanford Bishop wants to educate America's youth. Especially if they're his relatives.
Bishop is the second Democrat found to have funneled Congressional Black Caucus Foundation scholarship funds to relatives, threatening to turn the program into a larger political problem for the party. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) recently paid back $31,000 to the foundation for scholarships that she improperly awarded to various relatives and children of a top staffer.
Rep. Donald Payne (D-N.J.), chairman of the CBC Foundation, has promised an “extensive audit of the scholarship program” run by the organization.
Bishop, though, also appears to have favored family members with CBC scholarships.
In 2003, Emmaundia Whitaker, the niece of Vivian Creighton Bishop, who is Bishop’s wife, was awarded an education scholarship. She was also given a similar award in 2005.
And in 2003, Aayesha Owens Reese, the congressman’s stepdaughter, was granted an education scholarship as well.
As much as we enjoy condemning Congressman Bishop, we figure this is just the tip of the iceberg. He’s probably no more corrupt than the rest of the leeches in Congress – black, white, yellow, brown, green and purple.
There’s just too much money floating around Washington, DC. And too much temptation for these little gods to skim a little off the top for themselves.
We’re not implying that the New York Times would not recognize the truth if it bit them in their collective journalistic asses, but we are inferring it.
John Boehner takes lobbyist money equals New York Times headline. Barack Obama takes same lobbyist money equals sound of crickets.
The New York Times has boldly broken the news that “Mr. Boehner, the House minority leader and would-be speaker if Republicans win the House in November … maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R. J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.”
What the rag fails to mention is the fact that The Most Honest and Righteous President In History also received a wee bit of help from these same groups.
According to Opensecrets.org, Obama collected a cool $994,795 from the evil Goldman Sachs, $695,132 from the nefarious J.P Morgan and a whopping $701,290 from the untrustworthy Citigroup.
According to the same website, during the 2009 – 2010 campaign cycle Boehner collected a grand total of $238,300 from Securities and Exchange and $164,000 and change from Commercial Banks. So who is tied to who exactly?
The Times also attempted some character assassination by describing Boehner as a “…a 60-year-old, perpetually tanned, sharply tailored, chain-smoking golfer.” Hey, take ten years off the age and that sounds like a certain president we know.
In regards to lobbyists, the Wall Street Journal reports that, “New campaign finance data shows that Democrats now receive far more campaign cash from lobbyists and corporate fund-raising arms than Republicans.
Lobbyists have donated twice as much to Democrats as Republicans this year -– and corporate PACs have sent 60% of their money to Democrats, according to the data.”.
We’re not implying that the New York Times would not recognize the truth if it bit them in their collective journalistic asses, but we are inferring it.
Luke Angel, a 17-year old British teenager has been banned from America for life for calling President Obama “a prick” in an email to the White House.
Barack Obama’s supporters have called him The Greatest President In History, The Most Intelligent President In History, and now they can add The Most Thin-Skinned President In History.
Luke Angel, a 17-year old British teenager has been banned from America for life for calling President Obama “a prick” in an email to the White House.
The Sun UK has the details:
17-year old Luke Angel is a bad boy. An honest bad boy.
The FBI asked local cops to tell college student Luke Angel, 17, his drunken insult was “unacceptable.”
Angel said he fired off a single email criticizing the U.S. government after seeing a TV program about the 9/11 attacks.
He said, “I don’t remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly — the sort of thing you do when you’re a teenager and have had a few.”
Angel, of Bedford, in central England, said it was “a bit extreme” for the FBI to act. “The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don’t really care but my parents aren’t very happy.”
A Bedford Police spokesman confirmed they had spoken to Angel about the email. Officers will take no criminal action.
We say shame on Angel. He should not have called President Obama a prick. The proper terminology is socialist prick.
Just a little advice for young Luke: If you ever change your mind and decide you do want to visit the United States, no problem. Just fly to Mexico first and walk across the border illegally. President Obama will then greet you warmly, offer you free medical care, a job and citizenship.
Federal workers across the fruited plain owe more than $1 billion in back taxes. That’s bad enough. But now comes the news that congressional employees owe more than $9.3 million.

The Washington Post has the deadbeat details:
A fish rots from the head down: Tax cheat Tim Geithner apparently sets the tone for all of Washington
The debt among Hill employees has risen at a faster rate than the overall tax debt on the government’s books, according to Internal Revenue Service data. It comes at a time when some Republican members are pushing for the firings of government workers who owe the IRS and President Obama has urged a crackdown on delinquent government contractors.
The IRS information does not identify delinquent taxpayers by name, party affiliation or job title and does not indicate whether members of Congress are among the scofflaws. It shows that 638 employees, or about 4 percent, of the 18,000 Hill workers owe money.
The average unpaid tax bill is $12,787 among the Senate’s delinquent taxpayers and $15,498 among those working in the House.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it does. Poke into any corner in Washington, DC and you’ll find deadbeats:
41 White House employees owe the government $831,055 in back taxes. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis’ runs a department in which 463 employes owe $7,481,463. Eighty-one people working for the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors owe $1,076,733. And Eric Holder’s Justice Department has a remarkable 1,971 employees who have stiffed the government for $14,350,152 in overdue taxes. Janet Napolitano, Director of Homeland Security, has 4,856 employees who owe the IRS $37,012,174.
Fact is, they all owe us an apology. With penalties and interest.
Obviously, Michelle and Barack’s marriage is over. He’s left her for the only thing he loves as much as he loves himself – his Teleprompter.
Suspicions were first raised when the First Lady flew to Spain instead of celebrating the President’s birthday at home. Then, last week the media was all atwitter when Obama showed up at his press conference without his wedding ring.
Obviously, Michelle and Barack’s marriage is over. He’s left her for the only thing he loves as much as he loves himself – his Teleprompter.
No, seriously, now the guy brought his damn Teleprompter to a press conference.
We feel very badly for Riches. But in Obama’s world, anyone who disagrees with him is a radical and racist and bigot.
Jim Riches is a former deputy with the New York City Fire Department and father of a fallen 9/11 firefighter. His son Jimmy died the day before his 30th birthday.
“I am very upset, you know. I think Obama was lecturing to us yesterday, talking down to us like, you know, like everybody is a radical and a racist and a bigot.”
We feel very badly for Riches. But in Obama’s world, anyone who disagrees with him is a radical and racist and bigot.
Federal, state, local. Add ‘em all up and you discover that a majority of union members now work for the government. At least that’s what a new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows.
Federal, state, local. Add ‘em all up and you discover that a majority of union members now work for the government. At least that’s what a new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows.
Of course, since the report comes from the BSA, it was probably produced by union members, so who knows how accurate it may be.
Heritage.org lays out the depressing facts:
New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show that a majority of American union members now work for the government. The pattern of unions adding members in government while losing members in the private sector accelerated during the recession. The typical union member now works in the Post Office, not on the assembly line.
… The BLS’s annual report on union membership shows the labor movement’s decline in membership continued in 2009. While a full 23.0 percent of Americans belonged to labor unions in 1980, by 2008 only 12.4 percent did. In 2009, that figure dropped slightly to 12.3 percent.[2] There are now 15.3 million union members in the United States, 770,000 fewer than in 2008.
… What is newsworthy, however, is another figure reported by the BLS: 52 percent of all union members work for the federal or state and local governments, a sharp increase from the 49 percent in 2008. A majority of American union members are now employed by the government; three times more union members now work in the Post Office than in the auto industry.
That’s really only half the story, though.
IHateTheMedia.com’s editor’s next door neighbor owns an engineering company that builds bridges. He’s a liberal who said his company wouldn’t be allowed to bid on government jobs (100% of his business, since there aren’t a lot of private bridges being built) if his workforce wasn’t unionized.
So it may be true that 52% of all union workers work for government, but that understates a significant number of private sector union members whose jobs are dependent on and mandated by the government.
Any questions as to why the unions support big government liberals?
There are undoubtedly those in Congress who look at the results of this poll and say, “Ungrateful peasants.”
There are undoubtedly those in Congress who look at the results of this poll and say, “Ungrateful peasants.”
Rasmussen has the details:
Nancy Pelosi, the poster child for "no matter how bad things are, Congress can make them worse"
Heading into the final weeks of the congressional election season, 62% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that no matter how bad things are, Congress can always make them worse. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% disagree, with 19% more not sure.
This level of skepticism is shared by a majority of just about every partisan and demographic group, including 53% of Democrats whose party currently controls both houses of Congress.
The only exception is the nation’s Political Class. Seventy-five percent (75%) of voters in the political Mainstream say if something is not going well, Congress can always make it worse, but 63% of the Political Class disagree.
Got that? This poll is completely incomprehensible to the Political Class. They think they’re doing a dandy job. They know that if they just had a little more money to spend, they could do it better. And if they had a lot more money, they could do it a lot better.
If the President wanted to quote some lyrics that more accurately reflect the situation we find ourselves in today, he should have gone with Hendrix’ version of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower”:
President Obama had another one of those off-Teleprompter moments the other day. They seem to be coming more and more frequently as he looks in the mirror and sees the face of failure staring back.
Has President Obama been listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix lately? With just under two months to go before Election Day, Obama kicked off the fall campaign season Monday with an aggressive speech targeting Republicans. But it was an off-script moment in the speech that’s attracted the most attention, as Obama accused his GOP critics of talking about him “like a dog.”…
Though Obama didn’t acknowledge it, the line was a verbatim quote from “Stone Free,” the first song Hendrix wrote after moving to England in 1966. “They talk about me like a dog,” the song says. “Talkin about the clothes I wear. But they don’t realize they’re the ones who’s square.”

Jerry Brown told a Silicon Valley crowd that he has a plan to save California, but it’s apparently classified Super Double XX Top Secret, because he says he won’t reveal it until after the election.
Taking a page from Richard Nixon, Governor Moonbeam told a Silicon Valley crowd that he has a plan to save California, but it’s apparently classified Super Double XX Top Secret, because he says he won’t reveal it until after the election. It’s so secret that he would have had to kill everyone in the audience if he had accidentally revealed it.
IHateTheMedia.com’s plush international headquarters is in California so we feel qualified to say that there’s no great choice in the governor’s race this year. But if the blood-sucking leeches and lunatic liberals in this state elect Jerry Brown, they truly deserve the bankrupt government they get.
The Huffington Post now lists Hart as a “Scholar in Residence.” Writing as only a Scholar in Residence can, Hart confronts Middle Class America.
There's a big difference, Gary, between getting yourself a little and getting by with less
Like most of America, we assumed that Gary Hart of “Monkey Business” fame had fallen of the face of the earth. But the Huffington Post now lists Hart as a “Scholar in Residence.” Writing as only a Scholar in Residence can, Hart confronts Middle Class America.
“There is nothing wrong with high ambitions, expectations, and dreams. Americans lead the world in all of these, and for much of our history with good reason. But almost nothing in this world is guaranteed, including our superiority and inevitable success. Nations and empires rise and fall. Leaders come and go. Sometimes we’re up, and sometimes we are down. History is a sobering teacher. About the only thing that is inevitable is human folly.”
This seems to be a very thinly veiled attack on the concept of American exceptionalism and nothing said elsewhere in the article dispels that theory. In fact, it gets worse.
“Are our dreams permanently shattered?” asks the frisky former Senator. “Are we in a sharp decline? Is our hour over? No, I don’t think so. A certain kind of way of life may be coming to an end, one marked by excessive consumption, waste, and inefficiency. And if you have defined your life or your nation’s life by those standards, it does look gloomy. But what really is wrong with smaller cars and more efficient homes and deferred gratification and saving for a rainy day?”
This from a man who spent a considerable amount of time cruising around on luxury yachts while balancing a blonde on one knee and a beer on the other.
In answer to the former Senator’s questions, we say there’s nothing wrong with driving a small car or having an energy efficient home or even with saving for a rainy day. What Middle America doesn’t like, Mr. Hart, is leftist elitists proposing a somewhat less satisfying lifestyle for “the other guy” while they continue to live a life of luxury and excess.
Unless, that is, Mr. Hart now gets his kicks with smaller boats and smaller blonds.

French newspaper Courrier International created an ad suggesting that we could have avoided 9/11 if we’d simply built the twin towers a bit shorter.
Every year, at least one advertiser somewhere in the world is guaranteed to exploit the 9/11 attacks with a tasteless ad.
French newspaper Courrier International gets the “honor” this year with an ad suggesting that we could have avoided 9/11 if we’d simply built the twin towers a bit shorter. The ad shows two jets flying over a substantially shorter World Trade Center along with the headline, “Learn to anticipate.”
MyFoxLA has the tasteless details:
The website Ads of the World reported that Saatchi & Saatchi France is the agency behind the ad.
The Montreal Gazette reported that the campaign is an attempt to imply that the newspaper’s coverage will help readers anticipate major events.
The 9/11 terror attack are only one of the events used in the promotion. The campaign also uses the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy and the 1969 moon landing.
Many who have posted comments about the ad on various websites are upset about its insensitivity.
“Stupid beyond belief. There will NEVER be a right time to reference 9/11 in advertising,” reads one comment on the website AdFreak.com. “Oooh, I know, perhaps the Saatchi creatives could do one on the deportation of gypsies from their country,” quipped another post on the site.
Considering that the campaign features three American news events, perhaps the campaign should feature a new headline:
France. Where you can anticipate that nothing of any significance will ever happen.

The Ohio Republican told Good Morning America that both parties should work together to create jobs by cutting spending to 2008 levels and freezing all tax rates for two years.
“What I’d like to do is work on a bipartisan basis to do two things. First, instead of waiting until after the election to put together some big omnibus spending bill with a bunch of wasteful spending, why wouldn’t we do this? Why don’t we pass a bill this month at 2008 spending levels — before the TARP, before the bailouts, before the ‘stimulus’ — and let’s put some certainty in the economy. … Secondly, why wouldn’t we work together to make it clear that all current tax rates will be extended for the next two years? What that will do is help small businesses, who have no clue what the coming tax rates are going to be, and give them some certainty. If we’re able to do this together, I think we’ll show the American people that we understand what’s going on in the country and we’ll be able to get our economy moving again and get jobs growing in America.”
Of course, George Stephanopoulos looked at him like he had two heads. Which, of course, would be two more than the Democrats seem to have these days.

Oh, how times have changed. The man who used to fill stadiums is now having trouble filling community college recreation centers.
Obama fans get ready to do "the wave" at his speech in Parma, Ohio
Oh, how times have changed. The man who used to fill stadiums is now having trouble filling community college recreation centers.
Cleveland.com has the story of the empty suit who now faces seats as empty as his promises:
With less than an hour before President Obama’s scheduled speech, 75 seats remained empty in the recreation center at Cuyahoga Community College’s Western Campus.
So organizers went around campus and recruited more students to fill the seats.
Student Jennifer Rahal, of Parma Heights, whose class was canceled today, was working on her art work in the coffee shop in the basement of the building when the call went out for more guests.
After dropping off their stuff at a bag check, the newly invited guests cleared security and filed into the gym.
The math on this one is pretty simple: Empty suit plus empty promises equals empty seats.
It’s just not possible for Stephanie Miller, for example, to have ten percent of the listeners that Rush Limbaugh does. Just not possible.
This ranking of radio talk show hosts and the size of their audiences comes from Talkers magazine, the bible of the talk show industry. Well, call us blasphemous, but we doubt the word of the bible.
We buy the rankings, but not the audience size of the liberal talk show hosts. It’s just not possible for Stephanie Miller, for example, to have ten percent of the listeners that Rush Limbaugh does. Just not possible.
Now, perhaps, the discrepancy can explained by the fact that Miller’s show airs in the more highly-rated morning slot, while Limbaugh airs in the generally lower-rated midday time period. But that still can’t explain away the fact that Miller doesn’t air in most major markets and has low ratings in the markets in which she does air.
So either the lib talkers’ numbers are grossly overstated or Limbaugh’s numbers are grossly understated.
And that would be the only thing understated about Rush Limbaugh.

Frederic von Anhalt wants to be the last man in Hollywood to mount Zsa Zsa Gabor
Relax. We’re not talking about necrophilia here, but it’s still pretty damn weird nonetheless.
AFP has the unusual news:
The German husband of ailing 93-year-old Hollywood actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor said he wanted preserve her body by plastination after she dies, the Bild newspaper reported on Thursday.
“My wife has always dreamt that her beauty would be immortal,” Frederic von Anhalt said, “I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films.”
Von Anhalt said German anatomist Gunther von Hagens should carry out the procedure, after his controversial world exhibitions displaying plastinated bodies with just muscles and tendons intact.
Gabor, who has been hospitalised several times in the past months, returned earlier this week to hospital in Los Angeles after von Anhalt had found her unconscious.
Of course, Zsa Zsa has been married nine times, so this won’t be the first time she’s been mounted. But it will be the last.

Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba’s communist economic model doesn’t work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since stepping down four years ago.
It’s taken 50 long, tyrannical years, but Fidel Castro has finally been slapped up the side of the cabeza with a long-missing dose of reality.
The Marx Brothers are finally figuring out that their economic models don't work
The Associated Press has news of the aging Communist’s moment of clarity:
Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba’s communist economic model doesn’t work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since stepping down four years ago.
The fact that things are not working efficiently on this cash-strapped Caribbean island is hardly news. Fidel’s brother Raul, the country’s president, has said the same thing repeatedly. But the blunt assessment by the father of Cuba’s 1959 revolution is sure to raise eyebrows.
Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, asked if Cuba’s economic system was still worth exporting to other countries, and Castro replied: “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore” Goldberg wrote Wednesday in a post on his Atlantic blog.
He said Castro made the comment casually over lunch following a long talk about the Middle East, and did not elaborate. The Cuban government had no immediate comment on Goldberg’s account.
News of the future: August 12, 2060 (Dateline, Chicago): Former President Barack Obama today admitted that his economic model doesn’t work anymore.

I’m A Democrat. And I hate the fact that MSNBC.com produced this horrible cartoon.
If you ask me, it’s pretty sick that someone would draw our beloved Muslim President nailed to a cross. But it was our side that did it, so, of course, there’s no moral outrage in the rest of the media. And that’s what upsets me — a little more moral outrage from the left might help us score some political points that we really need right now.
See, if someone on the right had drawn this cartoon, we could’ve said all the things we always say about the right being racist, Islamophobic, hayseed hicks desperately clinging to their guns and their God, crucifying the Lord Barack Almighty despite the miracles he’s performed for this country.
Oh, who the hell am I kidding? We’re going to say those things about you conservative loons anyway.
But you can still help us out. This boneheaded MSNBC artist screwed up and drew Obama hanging on a cross. We need someone on the right to draw him hanging from a tree, the way good Democrats in the Ku Klux Klan hung black people from trees for generations. (You may recall that West Virginia Democrat Senator Robert Byrd once advocated doing in order to get elected. And Bill Clinton said he made all Democrats proud.) That cartoon, my conservative friends, would be solid proof that you are the horrible racists we Democrats keep saying you are.
While our liberal media brethren have ignored how disgusting it is to show someone hanging on a cross, especially the first black President, there’s no way they’d ignore a cartoon that showed him hanging from a tree. That would be offensive. Our liberal media friends would go nuts.
Are there any conservative cartoonists out there who’d like to help us out in November? We could use your help right about now.
This is not the way it was supposed to happen. By this point in his administration, the adoring masses were supposed to have spontaneously arisen to demand the abolition of the 22nd amendment so that he could serve until He decided to step down.

Instead, Rasmussen reports a new low:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 23% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-seven percent (47%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -24.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve…
Overall, 41% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-eight percent (58%) disapprove.
Today’s Approval Index rating is the lowest yet recorded for this president. Overall Job Approval matches the lowest recorded number, and the number who Strongly Disapprove matches the highest yet recorded.
C’mon, November. What’s taking you so long to get here.
Of course, since the report comes from the BSA, it was probably produced by union members, so who knows how accurate it may be.
