Michigan Bar Owners Bounce Lawmakers to Protest Smoking Ban. Doug McIntyre, host of the nationally-syndicated Red Eye Radio said, “Who in the world ever thought that you wouldn’t be able to smoke in bars forty years ago? You try telling that to Humphrey Bogart as he walked around Casablanca with a cigarette hanging out of his trap. By the way, he died of lung cancer.”

Lockerbie bomber found living in Tripoli Villa
Whatever happened to the Lockerbie bomber since Gordon Brown’s government released the mass murderer from prison two years ago, ostensibly for “humanitarian purposes” since he only had three months to live. Well, the bastard’s not with his 72 virgins yet — he’s been living the life in a palatial villa in Tripoli, 21 months longer than our lying governments told us. It seems crime does pay, when an oil deal is involved.
Adult children sue parent over “bad mothering”
Raised in a $1.5 million Barrington Hills, Ill., home by their attorney father, two grown children have spent the last two years pursuing a unique lawsuit against their mom for “bad mothering” that alleges damages caused when she failed to buy toys for one and sent another a birthday card he didn’t like. Must be why Barack’s mom raised him in Hawaii. He woulda won this case given how great a lawyer he is and the fact that no jury would be raaaaacist enough to find against the distinguished plaintiff.
Global Warming strikes again – Mosquitoes disappearing in Africa
Global Warming strikes again – Mosquitoes disappearing in Africa. Oh, the woes of Global Warming! Scientists say climate change has killed off so many African mosquitoes that researchers can’t test their drugs in some areas… because there are no children left with malaria.
Uncle Onyango Obama arrested for DUI after almost slamming into police car.
Uncle Onyango Obama arrested for DUI after almost slamming into police car. Yes, it’s President Obama’s uncle. Will US Attorney General Eric Holder launch an investigation to see if this was a racist police car while conveniently forgetting Uncle Onyango is an illegal alien? How about another beer summit? Nah! Might result in another DUI.

Out with Qaddafi and in with Al Qaeda
Out with Qaddafi and in with Al Qaeda. The Al Qaeda-linked, Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), led by an al Qaeda veteran once captured and released by the CIA, now controls Tripoli strongholds. What, you haven’t heard of the LIFG? You might know them by their other name: “rebels.” You know, some of the freedom-loving protesters we backed to oust Qaddafi.

Al Gore says AGW deniers are like raaaaacists. Hmmm, just like those not agreeing with Prez Obama. We’re starting to detect a pattern here.
CERN: ‘Climate models will need to be substantially revised’
Oil company shills at CERN: ‘Climate models will need to be substantially revised’. Al Gore’s settled science unsettled. A big ball of hot gas 93 million miles away from here has more effect on earth climate than a big tub of hot air living in a mansion in California would have you believe.
Now Banks Don’t Want Deposits
Another change you can’t believe (in): thanks to Obamanomics, banks don’t want deposits. We thought it was just sludge deposits or something they don’t want but, no, they don’t want money either. With the advent of the non-recovery recovery, it just sits in their vaults gathering dust like Mooch’s law degree.
Perfect Storm of Hype: Politicians, the media and the Hurricane Irene apocalypse that never was

Why you should never, ever listen to Nobel Prize-winning New York Times Paul Krugman again. Ever.
Why you should never, ever listen to Nobel Prize-winning New York Times Paul Krugman again. Ever. This August 2, 2002 quote is all you need to know about the sagacity of Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman: “To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble.”

At this rate every Chinese man, woman and child will be driving a Prius in just 1,350,000,000 years. One. Toyota sold one Prius last year in a nation of 1,350,000,000 people. “Hopes that the country will also become a pioneer in the shift towards ‘clean car’ technology have suffered a setback as the Chinese show little sign of interest in electric and hybrid vehicles despite ambitious government plans. Last year, Toyota managed to sell only one Prius – the world’s most commercially successful hybrid car – in the fastest-growing market. Sports utility vehicle sales, by contrast, are surging.”

For those of you who aren’t as mathematically-inclined as we are, that’s just a hair short of 28 trillion, which means that every single man, woman and child in the world visited IHTM more 4,000 times last month. Several fetuses, aliens and time travelers also stopped by.
What’s that? Alexa says we’re only the 54,800th busiest site in the world? Well, maybe so, but Alexa determines those rankings with an old-fashioned, simplistic formula, while we calculated our position by using the same highly-complex algorithm the Obama administration uses to determine that it has now “saved or created” 3,000,000 jobs.
And based on those calculations, we’re number one! We’re number one! We’re number one!

President of NAACP says he didn’t call Tea Party racist, video says otherwise
What we have here is a basic contradiction between what NAACP President Ben Jealous said on Thursday and what he said earlier in the week. Damn inconvenient videos.
What we have here is a basic contradiction between what NAACP President Ben Jealous said on Thursday and what he said earlier in the week. Damn inconvenient videos.
Politico reports his Thursday comments:
NAACP President Ben Jealous said Thursday that the resolution passed by the group on Wednesday does not call the tea party “racist.”
No?
A portion of the resolution does indeed characterize the behavior as “racist,” but Jealous said Thursday during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the resolution was not intended to condemn the entire movement as such.
“We aren’t saying that the tea party is racist,” Jealous said. “What we’re saying is that with their increasing power comes an increasing responsibility to act responsibly…and to call out when they see those things on those signs.”
And furthermore:
Asked if he thought members of the tea party are racially insensitive, Jealous responded: “No, not at all.”
Of course, this is a little hard to square with the video clip above in which Jealous says the Tea Party is a direct descendent of white supremacist groups.
But never let it be said that Jealous let truth get in the way of a good line of bullshit.

Labor Hilda Solis urges illegals to call government for help in getting paid fairly
Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has upped the ante. She’s created a Public Service Announcement, at your expense, to promote this important message: illegals in America may be unfairly paid. The PSA even includes a phone number for these poor, exploited workers to call and report their racist employers. Again, at your expense.
Come on now, who says the Obama Administration is not doing something about the illegal immigration problem? From sending 1200 troops to desk jobs somewhere near the Mexican border, to suing Arizona for complying with federal immigration laws, you can rest assured that our government is working on behalf of the American people.

Oops. Meredith Vieira interview goes awry when teen girl says the C-word. Twice.
Meredith Vieira asked young teen guest Kayla Manson to describe a series of bullying emails and the sweet, innocent-looking young girl surprised the Today Show host by blurting out the C-word. Not once, but twice, within a few seconds.
Meredith Vieira recently learned the wisdom of the old saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”
She asked young teen guest Kayla Manson to describe a series of bullying emails and the sweet, innocent-looking young girl surprised the Today Show host by blurting out the C-word. Not once, but twice, within a few seconds.
“Be careful with our language, but that’s alright, sweetie.” Meredith cooed. But you know, you absolutely know, that they were dying in the booth.
Of course, Meredith’s proved that her own nether regions are never far from her mind when she called herself “a horny old woman” while hitting on a studly-looking Navy fighter pilot on the air.
Don’t hate the playah, Meredith, hate the game.
Lord, forgive us, for we are about to say something nice about Randi Rhodes

San Antonio wants to ban smoking, but Hispanics call ban “racist”
Last week the astronomical geniuses at the NAACP called “black holes” racist. This week Hispanic activists have one upped them in the stupid department by calling a proposed smoking ban in San Antonio racist.
Last week the astronomical geniuses at the NAACP called “black holes” racist. This week Hispanic activists have one upped them in the stupid department by calling a proposed smoking ban in San Antonio racist.
No. Really. It has to be true, because no one could make up anything that crazy.
WOAI Radio has the story of the activists huffing and puffing:
The effort to ban smoking in all workplaces across the city appears to be going up in smoke, as prominent advertising executive Lionel Sosa tonight will brand the proposal as racist, 1200 WAOI news reports.
“The proposed ordinance is economically discriminatory to members of the Hispanic community,” Sosa will tell council, according to a text of his letter obtained by 1200 WOAI news. “When you look at the population of the small area bars, poll halls, and VFW halls that populate our community, you will see the overwhelming majority of those that will see their freedom of choice stripped from them by this ordinance are Hispanic-owned businesses.”
OK, NAACP, let’s see if you can top that one for stupidity. (When it comes to stupid, our money’s on the NAACP if for no other reason than they’ve had more practice.)
