Obama to close Vatican embassy. A symbolic gesture that will no doubt be punctuated by opening an embassy in Mecca.

CITY ORDERS BAR TO REMOVE SIGN THAT SAYS ‘THANK A VETERAN FOR YOUR FREEDOM!’ This whole effing country is going nuts. We’ll make sure next time we go to Huntington Beach to patronize Johnny’s Saloon. Any other spending will be done in another town.

OFA: Be sure to use Thanksgiving dinner to convince relatives to buy a plan on the ObamaCare exchange. “Chances are folks at the dinner table probably look to you, mostly as a voice of reason on the subject.” With ObamaCare circling the drain, chances are they’d rather listen to the turkey – the one on the table, not the one in the White House.

High-speed rail funding takes a big hit from Sacramento judge. Looks like Jerry Brown’s Boondoggle Express will have to wait. At least one person in the state has some brains. Thanks Judge Kenny.

Now He Tells Us: Time’s Mark Halperin Says Obamacare Does Indeed Contain “Death Panels,” And That’s Right There in the Black-and-White Letter of the Law. If you like your death panel, you can keep them.

Barack Obama “A very eloquent hat stand,” says… GQ. We vigorously disagree – we don’t think he’s at all eloquent.

US, Iran at odds on what pact allows. Iran: “Hey, this pact allows us to keep enriching uranium!” SOS Kerry: “No it don’t!” No matter, the whole point was to get Quagmire’s healthcare quagmire off the front burner for a while.

YOUNG AMERICANS NOT RECEIVING PROMISED OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES. Like P.T. Barnum Obama said: There’s a sucker born every minute. Suck it suckers!

Afghanistan plans to reintroduce public stoning for adultery. Good thing we swooped in there and saved that place from its backwardness, cruelty to women, and Islamic fanaticism, eh?

Poll: Majority of Americans do not trust Obama. Would you buy a used car from this man? Not us.

Elon University is offering a self-pleasure course to teach students how to masturbate. Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.

Elementary school parents aghast at Common Core homework. Kids are coming home with worksheets full of undecipherable nonsense (for the one pictured above, the father couldn’t even figure out what his daughter was supposed to do), authoritarian propaganda, and squirrely problems that look like they will do more harm than good to a student’s learning process. In other words, just what you would expect from an education system designed by liberals.

Senator: Sports stadiums “at risk from…sea-level rise effects of climate change”. “He said the threat to hockey is that people will no longer be able to play outdoors on frozen ponds.” Sounds like his mind is already under water. [Video at the link – bring your snorkel.]

Poll: If voters had known they’d lose insurance, Romney would have won. “…23 percent said they would not have voted to re-elect Obama, while 72 percent said they would still have voted for him.” Gosh, the Democrap-Media complex just couldn’t let the stupid voters fail to reelect the bestest president evah – they just had to make that incorrect promise, don’t you see?

Opting out of ObamaCare – not just for the young? “In trying to understand what caused health insurance plans to skyrocket in cost, I found out that to be ACA-compliant they must now cover things like maternity care and pediatric dental – even if you’re a 61 year old empty nester!” Credit Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) for this: “Obama is like someone who burns down your house. Then shows up with an empty water bucket. Then lectures you about how defective the house was.”

Duke Lacrosse accuser convicted of murder. Sentenced to 18 years. Maybe if her friends, and family, and the Duke faculty, and Al Sharpton, and all the other lowlifes who jumped into the Duke rape fiasco, had confronted her honestly instead of enabling her phony victimhood… well, maybe this troubled woman could have been saved.

FEDS LOSE $139M ON LOAN TO ELECTRIC CAR MAKER. Yet another Obama success story!

The markets think Al Gore’s ‘settled’ global warming science is bunk. “…the high cost of coastal homes in New York and Los Angeles is on its own a market signal that the alleged threat of global warming is well overdone.” Why would you buy a big-bucks coastal dacha if you think the sea level is going rise umpteen feet soon? Two answers: you’re really stupid or you really don’t believe it. But we can’t totally discount “really stupid.”
