I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Elizabeth Warren: Hey, why isn’t the minimum wage $22/hour? Well, maybe because ObamaCare is killing jobs fast enough already.

Caving to gay pressure, Chipotle abandons Boy Scouts. The restaurant chain will no longer sponsor a Utah Boy Scout event because the youth organization won’t let gay men go camping with young boys. That thud you just heard was the sound of Utah Chipotle sales hitting the floor.

New Zealand planning Cyprus-style “solution” for bank failure. “Depositors will overnight have their savings shaved by the amount needed to keep the bank afloat.” Yup, gives a depositor a lot of confidence in his bank if he knows that it’ll stay in business no matter what, even if it has to take his money to do it. Let’s see… what’s the definition of “self-fulfilling prophecy” again?

Economists: underground economy booming. Consumers seem to have more money than they ought to, given the “unexpectedly” lousy trends in employment. “It costs too much now for companies to create open positions that carry the costs of mandated health insurance. Instead, more employers appear to be paying cash for what used to be called piece work in a bygone era.” Working for change off the books is what they can believe in, thanks to King Putts.

$2.7M federal study: Why do lesbians have higher “risk for hazardous drinking”? Maybe it’s because all the nosy bureaucrats studying them makes them nervous. How about maybe they’re worried about the national debt and why idiot politicians can’t seem to find anything to cut? Bottoms up.

Cable networks air 16-year-old rape victim’s name. Now she’s receiving death threats. No wonder we hate the media.

Islamists hide bomb in Quran. Remember the 2005 Quran desecration hullabaloo? Never mind. Turns out you can do anything you want with the damn things.

NY Post: “Weiner has recently been telling pals that ‘when Hillary is president,’ he will get his revenge.” Also, supposedly he has it in for Botox Nan: “Weiner is still fuming over his downfall, and he blames Nancy Pelosi” apparently because she called on him to resign after his “sexting” scandal broke a couple of years ago. Well, once a weiner, always a weiner.

Banking Chief Calls For 15% Looting of Italians’ Savings. First Cypress, now this. We wonder how long before the wacko birds in the Obama administration think this is a terrific idea? This reinforces the validity of the bumper sticker below. You can name your own government.

Obamacare: Projected Premium Increases by State. Bend forward! Your wallet enema is waiting!

If the devil had a son… would he look like Barack Obama?

Wallace to Durbin: If $9T in debt was “unpatriotic,” how can $16T in debt be “sustainable”? Watch Dick Dustbin play dodgeball. After a while you get the idea everything these people say is just a cynical ploy to win elections or something.

Kelsey Grammer: I invesed 6 figures in windmills and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. Well, the “Frasier” star didn’t actually say that but that’s the gist of it, except he didn’t get a T-shirt.

Detroit protesters vow ‘civil disobedience’ in opposition to city’s emergency manager. Wahhhhhhh! Whaddya mean there’s no more candy? Whaddaya mean there’s no more free stuff? Wahhhhhhh! I want my nanny state!

BOEHNER: I ‘ABSOLUTELY’ TRUST OBAMA. Boehner also trusts used car salesmen, witch doctors, Bernie Madoff, John Corzine, Al Gore, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, Boss Tweed, Charles Ponzi, Josef Stalin, Lance Armstrong, Pinocchio, Richard Nixon, Kenneth Lay, Bill Clinton and a host of others. It speaks very poorly of the Republicans that they re-elected this over-tanned dipstick Speaker of the House. Until they rectify that, they have no chance whatsoever of winning in 2016.

Welcome To The Democrat Party – Feinstein: ‘I’ve Seen The Bullets That Implode.’ We think her brain imploded a long time ago.

Hard proof that global warming forecasts were wrong. Still have friends and relatives who refuse to see the light about the AGW scam? Just show them this graph from the UK’s Daily Mail.

Honeymoon is over for Ashley Judd. Kentucky Democrats are stepping back, taking a clear look, and deciding a Hollywood liberal loony-tune might not be the best senate candidate in a conservative Midwest state. As Homer Simpson would say: “D’oh!”

Andrew Cuomo tells local governments to consolidate. So who’s gonna file bankruptcy first? The state of New York or California?

Days of Promise Fade for Ethanol. Days of promise seem to be fading for EV’s, solar and wind, too. Few seem to be able to survive even with massive government subsidies. The government isn’t very good at picking winners, only losers.

Bill Maher defends Iraq War, Bush: “It’s a country that’s standing, I thought it wouldn’t be”. Seriously, has anyone checked his garage for pods?

Bill Maher on California income taxes: “Liberals – you could actually lose me”. “Pointing at Virginia’s former Republican Congressman Tom Davis, Maher said, ‘You know what? Rich people – I’m sure you’d agree with this – actually do pay the freight in this country.'” It’s not the freight that’s bankrupting us, it’s the hobos riding on the train… the rich crony capitalist ones as well as the not so rich.

Europe announces stunning bailout for Cyprus — Bank depositors to get instant 10% tax before banks reopen this week. Eurocrats gonna swoop in and take something from everybody: the “stability levy” will take 10% of the accounts over 100,000 Euros, 6.75% for accounts with less than that. … The challenges we were facing in Cyprus were of an exceptional nature”… i.e. the pols were nearly out of money to hand out to their cronies. More here: Cyprus Depositor Haircut “Bailout” Turns Into Saver “Panic”, Frozen Assets, Bank Runs, Broken ATMs. Wealthy Russians have a lot of money in those banks. Odds are they are not amused.

‘Paedophilia not criminal condition’ says Durban cardinal. If the Catholic Church ever wants to regain credibility, it appears to us that Pope Francis’ first order of business should be to fire this guy. He’s obviously at the very least an enabler.

Anthony Weiner spends $50K on polling. Looks like Anthony wants NYC to go from a nanny to a weenie. We wonder how many New Yorkers relish the thought?
