I HATE THE MEDIA ™

GM gives Chevrolet Volt a jolt with price cut: So a vehicle that was already costing the tax payer a couple hundred grand in per unit subsidies is about to cost them even more. That is the bad news. The good news is that with even more of our money trapped in this cluster-fugg there will be less for General Electric to funnel to Rachel Maddow.

ABC news editor switches genders, then switches back. In May Don Ennis came to work wearing a dress, wig, heels, and lipstick, saying he wanted to be called “Dawn.” Now he’s switching back to “Don” and using the men’s room again. No wonder the news business is messed up.

Attack of the luxury toilets. High-end Satis toilets, which cost over $5,000 and are operated by a smartphone app, are vulnerable to being hacked because all the access codes are the same, “0000.” So pranksters can make your toilet flush, turn on the bidet, start the hot air dryer, make the lid go up and down on you, and switch the toilet’s music to hard rock or rap. Nobody can poop under those conditions.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev had right-wing extremist literature: This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the Koran referred to as extremist. But we had no idea it was right-wing or literature.

Obama votes in chart form:

RNC Chairman calls out NBC and CNN for promoting Hillary Clinton.

“Both networks are airing programs promoting former Secretary Hillary Clinton ahead of her likely candidacy for president in 2016… If the productions are not canceled prior to the start of the RNC’s Summer Meeting, Chairman Priebus will seek a binding vote of the RNC to prevent the committee from partnering with these networks in 2016 primary debates or sanctioning debates they sponsor.”

WTF? Did someone at the RNC finally grow a pair?

Serious terror threat forces U.S. to close overseas embassies. As the nation’s sixteen top national security advisors gathered for an urgent Saturday meeting to discuss the threat, our president was at Camp David golfing and partying in a two-day weekend-long celebration of his 52nd birthday. Hopefully his birthday party had pony rides and a clown so the poor overworked child comes home happy.

Egyptian anti-Obama video goes viral, blames him for siding with Muslim Brotherhood. It appears the Egyptians are tired of the Inept One’s meddling. We hope it doesn’t make Americans attack the Egyptian Embassy in Washington, DC.

Rise in violence ‘linked to climate change’: According to the article “US scientists found that even small changes in temperature or rainfall correlated with a rise in assaults, rapes and murders, as well as group conflicts and war.” Perhaps the authors of this study can provide us with their control for this scenario. That is to say significant durations of time in which there were no changes in temperature or rainfall so as to provide the contrast necessary to corroborate their statements. Oh that’s right . . . there have never been such times.

13 armed men swarm animal shelter in Wisconsin to kill Bambi. No, government isn’t out of control in this country. 13 men with guns drawn is a delicate response to an illegal baby deer. In a tyrannical country they would have sent 14 guys. So relax.

Arctic experiences very short summer. Normally they get 90 days above freezing. This year they got less than half that. We should have a contest: who will be the first “climate scientist” to blame this on Global Warming? Winner gets lunch-and-a-massage with Al Gore.

The Old Gray Lady comes a cropper. A lesson in obstinate liberal stupidity: the New York Times bought the Boston Globe in 1993 for $1.1 billion and just sold it for $70 million while retaining $110 million of pension liabilities. In other words, they took $1.1 billion and turned it into a negative $40 million while adamantly spewing a hard-left version of the news that nobody wants to read. These are not overly smart people.

Tent Cities in New Jersey: Don’t worry citizens of New Jersey. Right now, as we type this, Governor Krispy Creme Christie is donating five pairs of slacks and three sports coats to this very important cause; very soon there will be tents enough for all.

Baseball team salutes Anthony Weiner… with $1 hot dog night.

‘Shame On You!’: Sharpton Guest Tears Into Juror B29 For Voting to Acquit: In Sharpton’s America there would be two sets of laws. One that would put a man in prison for daring to defend his life from a bigoted, and possibly homophobic, attack. The other demands no shame be had by a man that incited a massacre against defenseless Jews.

Chris Christie not interested in having beer with Rand Paul: Of course not, the only thing Chris Christie likes the taste of is bacon mimosa’s and Obama’s butt. Shaken, not stirred.
