Obama’s labor boss buys new car to ‘support American workers’ … but it was made in Canada First Obama’s bus was made in Canada and now this, ehh! You have to ask what’s the matter with these people, ehh? Are they braindead, ehh?

Putting the comic in comic books: New graphic novel features Arianna Huffington. “Female Force: Arianna Huffington” is a new comic book that features highlights from the life of the Huffington Post publisher. For example, her time studying in England, her marriage to a closeted gay congressman, her preposterous campaign for governor of California and how AOL purchased her website for $315 million. We assume it glosses over the fact that AOL is now on the verge of bankruptcy as a result of that purchase.

George Clooney says Obama “is smarter than anybody you know.” Not so fast, Clooney. I know the self-made gazillionaire owner of an NFL team. And the CEO of a major international beverage company. And the worldwide marketing director for one of the world’s largest computer companies. And Bill Gates ex-girlfriend. And a guy who left Apple to start his own company and sold it a couple years later for $200 million. And the guy who created the “got milk” ad campaign. And the Administrator. I know the Administrator of IHateTheMedia.com, for god’s sake. They’re all really smart people and as far as I can tell, none of them have ever screwed up the world’s largest economy.
Concord Man Killed Over Color Of His Belt Fashion Police go crazy? Nah, just some gang kids blowing off some steam. And the belt was BLUE after all.
Dude! Free weed lying on San Jose street snatched up by bystanders. Like wow man. A truck full of pot crashes scattering large bags of pot. It’s unclear how the truck crashed. Unclear? You need a police investigation to figure out that Cheech and Chong were the drivers? Dude!
New Mexico cop caught having sex on hood of car Officer? Are you sure this is the way a sobriety test is done?
One in 25 business leaders may be a psychopath, study finds. Kind of sounds like the current resident of the White House to us. All charm BS, no substance and only worried about keeping himself in the spotlight and getting reelected.
Maxine Waters strikes again: President Obama should tax “gangsta” banks out of business. Leftwing lunatic Maxine Waters held town hall event in Los Angeles. That’s where she said the president should “bring the gangstas in, put them around the table and let them know that if they don’t come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes, that they’ve worked so hard for, we’re gonna tax them out of business.” Don’t you worry, Maxine, you and the President are on the same page.
Come out of the closet, Ed: MSNBC anchor impressed with Marco Rubio’s “pretty boy looks”. We’ve called Marco Rubio telegenic, but the macho Ed Schultz seems to think he’s “pretty”. Careful, Ed, that macho mask seems to be slipping just a little.
You will be shocked to learn the majority owner of Solyndra (the “green tech” company that Obama touted last year and which filed for bankruptcy Aug 31) is an Oklahoma billionaire named George Kaiser, who was a major fundraiser for the 2008 Obama-Biden campaign.
Frankly, we would be more surprised to find out he wasn’t.
‘Sleeping gas’ thieves target super-rich at Italian billionaires’ resort Apparently there were no Obama speeches available to them.
Don’t think of it as the federal government but as your “federal family.” Or so goes a meme the administration is currently trying to popularize. We, of course, are not at all fooled by this “all in the federal family” push towards paternalistic government. No matter what they say, Big Brother is not our keeper.
North Korea woos tourists with launch of first cruise ship. Sounds luxurious! Their mode of transport is a far cry from the glamorous cruise liners that ply the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Instead, passengers are travelling on an aging 9,700 ton ship which was formerly used to transport cargo from North Korea to Japan before its entry was blocked following Pyongyang’s 2006 missile and nuclear tests.
Trump: Everything Obama Does Is a ‘Campaign Speech’ Trump is a loudmouth, and thank God for that during this campaign season. Keep it up Donald, and we promise to watch another season of Apprentice.
Cash for Clunkers: The new Chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers’ biggest claim to fame. President Obama just nominated Princeton economist Alan Krueger to be chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers. Krueger’s greatest claim to fame was coming up with the ill-fated “Cash for Clunkers” program. The government bought thousands of cars, had no place to store them and no system in place to destroy them. So they rented abandoned Bush Stadium in Indianapolis and filled it with clunkers. Thousands and thousands of clunkers. As they say in the Obama administration, “It’s only money.”

Kansas State Green-Friendly Mascot Revealed, Mocked. They’re going greentard in Kansas. We’re all in trouble now.
Panel of scholars reviews facts, says Jefferson did NOT father Sally Hemings’ children. But bureaucrats at Monticello insist that a “consensus” of historians feels otherwise. There’s that word again. “Consensus” is starting to be a synonym for “stupid.”
El Nino incites wars and the Post Office controls temperature. A satirical post that “proves scientifically” we can eliminate global warming by reducing US first class postage rates. Correlation does not prove causation unless we’re talking about something for which left wing politicians want to make a pseudo-scientific case, then correlation magically becomes sufficient. And according to a leading scientist, failure to agree is raaaaacism.
Obama’s Speech Won’t Change His Polls. To use Obabbler’s favorite analogy, the engine is revving at full speed but the car is plodding along at 3 mph due to the ten ton dumpster filled with crap named “Obamacare” it’s dragging behind it. Instead of cutting the tow rope, Obama proposes to spend a trillion dollars on a “fuel booster” brewed by a magic unicorn in order to add more pep. With Obama driving, this heap will be lucky to make it to the nearest ditch.
REJECTED: Boehner Says No To Wednesday Jobs Speech. Looks like the Speaker of the House isn’t having any of Obama, who conveniently tried to time his speech to a joint session of Congress to be held at the same time as the Republican Presidential debate. Sounds like another downgrade in progress.
Angelou says MLK Memorial change makes him look like an ‘arrogant twit.’ Evidently Maya doesn’t like the Chinese version of Martin Luther King. We do think this would be the perfect guy to do a statue of Obama. He could get the same result without modifying anything.
HIV/AIDS group charged with diverting tax dollars to strip club The $330,000 federal tax dollars were intended to be used to renovate a jobs training center… no need to worry, the exotic dancers have started doing table dances for food stamps.
Gallup polling last week showed that only 41 percent of women now say they approve of the way Obama is handling his job as president. That is an all-time low–down from the previous low of 43 percent, which is what Obama’s approval had been among women in each of the previous three weeks. Well, they don’t like what he’s done as president but how do they feel about the way he’s handled the role of being the nation’s first metrosexual demi-god amateur golfer? These days, thanks to a celebrity-addled culture and a totally worthless journalistic establishment, it’s easy to confuse the two.
Panel: Supercommittee should look at wartime contract waste, fraud. No word yet on if a super-duper-committee will be needed to look at the waste and fraud of super-committees.
Obama’s jobs “plan”: another speech. If an Obama speech falls flat on its face on prime time TV and nobody’s watching, is his suit still empty? No change and you can believe it.
