Barbara Walters on Obama: “We thought he was going to be the next Messiah”. Yeah, we already knew they thought this but it’s odd to hear one of ’em actually admit it. (Are you sure you meant to use the past tense “thought” there, Babs?) [Skip the mindless chatter to the relevant part 1:25 in.]

GLENN BECK MAKES A VERY EXCITING OFFER TO THE CAST OF ‘DUCK DYNASTY.’ We hope A&E enjoys being on the receiving end.

Obama: Everybody hates me!!! “White House insiders say the deeply depressed Commander-in-Chief is hardly eating or sleeping, hasn’t talked to First Lady Michelle, 49, in weeks and is convinced everyone hates him!” OK, we concede that the National Enquirer is not necessarily reliable, but they did get John Edwards right. And when was the last time you saw something concerning Obama in the “legitimate” media that you would bet what’s left of the ranch on, hmmm?

Obama commutes sentences of eight crack cocaine offenders. Well, now we know he’s a crack President.

Did State Department blow $11.5 million on Obama’s trip to Mandela funeral (NOT including the cost of Air Force One)? Man, those were some expensive selfies! Only $2.875 million apiece! (NOT including the cost of Air Force One).

Target: Hack may have hit 40 million accounts. So, while the NSA was tracking little Johnny’s phone conversation with grandma, hackers stole 40 million accounts from Target. We have to ask why doesn’t the NSA re-focus on cyber crime instead of usurping the 4th amendment?

CNN FALSELY CLAIMS ‘DUCK DYNASTY’S’ ROBERTS COMPARED BESTIALITY TO HOMOSEXUALITY. We can’t imagine why CNN’s market share is dropping like the Hindenberg. Perhaps they should rename it Pravda West?

$37,680,000,000: THAT’S HOW MUCH THE U.S. SPENT ON FOREIGN AID IN 2012 — HERE’S A CHART THAT HELPS EXPLAIN IT. Meanwhile veterans get their benefits cut and everyone gets their healthcare costs jacked up. This money should be spent in the US.

You think we’ve got it bad under Obamacare? Across the pond, convicted murderer Paris Green – born Peter Laing – who is waiting for the National Health Service to give him a taxpayer financed sex change operation, has been moved to a different women’s prison because he/she had been using his/her male parts to have sex with the other inmates. That’s the future of government health care.

UNSETTLING REPORT: CLOSED-DOOR TESTIMONY APPEARS TO ‘BOLSTER CLAIMS’ OF BENGHAZI STAND DOWN ORDERS, INADEQUATE RESPONSE. If Hillary runs, whoever runs against her should have the campaign slogan “What difference does it make?” and ram it where the sun don’t shine.

Robots are the not-too-distant future of war. Danger! Danger! Danger Will Robinson! You’re about to be taken over by us!

‘SEARCH WARRANTS MAY NOW BE BASED ON PREDICTIONS OF THE COMMISSION OF FUTURE CRIMES.’ Psychics will be in high demand for law enforcement jobs in Texas. Too bad Karnak the Magnificent isn’t around anymore. The 4th Amendment will now be used as toilet paper in this moron judge’s house.

North America about to drown in oil. Peak Oil theorists can go suck eggs. The flood of North American crude oil is about to become a deluge because Mexico is dismantling a 75-year-old barrier to foreign investment in oil fields. The move is projected to double Mexico’s output – the equivalent of adding another Nigeria to world supply.

Duck Dynasty star takes aim at gays. And boy oh boy is the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) having a hissy fit! “It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man – would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me,” said Phil Robertson, head of the Duck Dynasty clan. How dare he use logic.

Geographers map seven deadly sins. Look where greed is concentrated: California from San Francisco down, Seattle, Austin, Chicago, Detroit, southern Florida, and the East Coast down to Washington, D.C. – all the great liberal bastions of America.

Obama ‘hijacks’ tech executive meeting to make ‘PR pitch’ on Obamacare website fix instead of dealing with NSA surveillance. Somehow, everything and anything always ends up being about President Narcissus. Notice Marissa Mayer is keeping her distance from funny Uncle Joe.

Special Ed doesn’t like the laws he wants us to live by. As with all on the Left, he just wants us to finance his schemes. Like the headline says, he’s a “employee-stiffing, tax-dodging man of the people.” With friends like these, who the heck needs enemies?

Pope Francis fires outspoken critic of abortion and gay marriage. Okay, do we have enough info now to form a clear opinion about the new Pope? Pro-Marxist, anti-capitalist, and soft on the issues of gay marriage and abortion. Makes you wonder why we even need a Pope – we already have a guy like that in the White House.

Judge: NSA phone metadata surveillance likely unconstitutional. We have to ask WTF “likely unconstitutional” means? To us it sounds like the chickenshit ruling of the century. Perhaps the judge needs to check if there’s any balls under that robe.

Fine print: State can seize your assets to pay for care after you’re forced into Medicaid by Obamacare. Ah! More good news for Obama voters! We hope you all enjoy being bent forward over your electric hospital bed mattress! We hope all you young Obama voters enjoy watching your inheritance disappear, not to mention your exorbitant Obamacare rate increases.

Down Joe! Hilariously awkward moment Biden gets a bit too friendly with White House reporter at Christmas party. Uh oh! Looks like funny Uncle Joe is out again, groping around where he shouldn’t. Perhaps he’s dreaming of a Hooter’s Christmas.

Global Warmists had a big conference last week in San Francisco. And the Gore Effect was in full force as San Francisco experienced dangerous record-cold temperatures all week.

AP’s most puke-worthy headline of 2013: CLIMATE CHANGE IS NEW ENEMY FOR KERRY IN VIETNAM.

Washington health insurance exchange hitting people’s bank accounts. On top of stories across the nation about identity theft rings circling the exchanges like sharks around a bleeding tuna, now we have an exchange debiting people’s bank accounts weeks before it’s supposed to… sometimes twice. Oh, and the exchange has been down for two weeks so there’s no way for people to get their money back. There’s nothing like an unexpected $800 outlay right before Christmas to make you love Obamacare.

Ryan defends reduction to cost-of-living adjustments for early military retirees: If these guys want to cut ‘benefits’ to those that are young enough to get other jobs there is a far better place for them to start than with our military retirees.
