Good news: GSA exec fired in Vegas scandal getting his job back. Evidently the phrase “the buck stops here” died about the same time Harry Truman passed away.

How to fix America’s wealth inequality: Teach Americans to be cheap. “Today, wealth equality is closely tied to income equality. But in the long run, it’s all about thrift, frugality, and saving — in other words, teaching a consumer nation a lesson in cheapness.” We once read about an uneducated parking lot attendant who had accumulated over $500K in assets. Avoiding debt as much as possible is a helpful strategy – it won’t make you Soros rich but it beats the alternative.

Obama: The “It wasn’t me” president. “Four years without a budget, vastly spiraling debt, credit downgrade, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the sequester…” Oh, and he didn’t cancel the White House tours either: “’This was not a decision that went up to the White House,’ noted Obama in an ABC News interview aired on Wednesday, saying the directive came from the Secret Service.” Are there any adults in the White House? Aren’t we tired of this crap yet?

President Obama invites Miss Israel to dinner. Finally the guy makes a savvy foreign policy move.

Fisker’s Founder Quits After DoE Freezes Electric Automaker’s Loan And Reported Talks With China’s Geely. Yep, those electric cars a real hot. Just not as far as sales or profitability are concerned. More like Solyndra on four wheels.

Ukrainian killer dolphins escape. Trained to detect mines and kill enemy divers with special knives and firearms, the dolphins abandoned their handlers and headed for the open sea. The big question: how long before the Obama administration declares this “Ukrainian Spring” and sends them money and weapons?

Wisconsin’s VISTA program encourages volunteers to overcome white “privilege.” “…suggests that white people ask themselves questions, such as: ‘How do I ignore privilege? What am I doing today to undo my privilege? How do I fool myself into thinking I am powerless?'” They left out this one: “How stupid do you think we are?”

RODMAN: I’M GOING BACK TO NORTH KOREA. Dennis must be running for Most Useful Idiot of the Year. Please stay this time Dennis.

Rumor is the Koch Brothers are trying to buy the Los Angeles Times… and the leftwing editorial department is already having a cow. “To me, Doug Manchester would be bad enough even without the Koch Brothers,” said one frightened writer. We think it would be nice to have one or two news sources that aren’t owned by George Soros and Warren Buffet.

Piers Morgan on Bloomberg’s soda ban: “I think people need the nanny state occasionally.” We wonder, is this a subliminal cry from Piers to have a date with Mayor Nanny?

Big Government, small people. If you think the application in the previous post was bad, take a gander at the Obamacare bill! All 7 feet of it.

Feds spend $1.5 million to study why lesbians are fat. NIH awards money “to study biological and social factors for why ‘three-quarters’ of lesbians are obese” (vs. 50% of heterosexual women) calling it an issue of ‘high public-health significance’.” When they spend our money, it’s an isue of high something-or-other significance. When we spend our money, it’s greed.

AP: Applying for benefits under ObamaCare could be as daunting as doing your taxes. Gubbermint’s “draft application” “…runs 15 pages for a three-person family. The online version has 21 steps… At least three major federal agencies, including the IRS, will scrutinize your application.” As a commenter noted, “The theory is that you’ll die of old age or a disease before you complete the application process.”

A species facing extinction. “…the writing is on the wall for climate alarmism… When you’re struggling to pay ever spiraling power bills, you start to ask questions, and the answers emerging are really starting to piss people off. They’re beginning to realise it’s all about a bunch of fat cats lining their pockets at the expense of the ordinary person, and those cats couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the environment or pushing the small people into fuel poverty.” Die faster, please.

Senior WH official: Obama’s GOP outreach is a big waste of time designed to impress the media. “Even more jarring than Obama’s lack of engagement was his public protestations that there was nothing he could do to strike a deal with the GOP. ‘It made him look weak,’ said a Democratic strategist with close ties to the White House. ‘It made him look – can I use this word? – impotent.'” Just say “lame duck” (or a similar 4-letter word starting with “d”), they’ll understand.

Old, useless analog televisions can be transformed into solar-powered DEATH RAYS that will burn anything in its path at 2,000F. “The beam of concentrated solar power is so strong it can not only boil water in seconds but also burn its way through the glass bottle in which the liquid is contained.” An excellent weapon – just make sure the sun is shining when the enemy attacks. Hey, isn’t it time we had a national conversation about old TV control?

Air Force chaplain earns Bronze Star for Muslim sensitivity training. Basically, he created a PowerPoint presentation to teach U.S. troops how to avoid offending Afghan locals. And we thought John Kerry’s medals were suspect.

McCain’s ‘wacko birds’ jab goes viral, inspires mocking artwork. What we really want to know is McCain coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs or just coo-coo?

McClatchy-Marist poll shows Obama tumbling in voters’ eyes. “…by 44-42 percent [voters] prefer the Republican approach to curbing the deficit.” “Any glow from his re-election is starting to fade.” We thought folks realized incompetent fools who win re-election are still incompetent fools. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

‘I wish it was legal to sleep with under-age girls’: Assemblyman accused of groping ‘fantasised about 14-year-olds.’ With street cred like this, we wonder if this jerk will be the next Democrat candidate for Governor of New York?

Female senator tweets about “very uncomfortable” screening by TSA. “Today in my airport screening, test on my hands was positive,” Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) wrote to her 89,100 followers. “Got private, more aggressive pat down. OMG. #veryuncomfortable‬.” Says “hand lotion” was cause of the positive “test on my hands.” We weren’t aware they were testing hands now. Looking for flammable hand soap, are we?

Bobby Jindal’s Funny Speech at the Gridiron. ” I ran into Joe Biden earlier today. I don’t think he recognized me though. He asked me to go get him a Slurpee… I see Eric Holder is with us tonight. I actually heard a rumor that due to sequestration, the attorney general can only afford to ship a couple hundred illegal guns across the border this year… This may surprise you, but I’m looking forward to President Obama’s second term. It will be refreshing to hear him stop blaming all the country’s problems on the last four years…” OK, but he left out… “Now take Mrs. Obama… PLEASE!”

Judge tosses New York City’s planned ban on large sugary drinks. Take a big gulp Mayor Nanny Bloomberg, you’re stupid law just got tossed out.

State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling in Manhattan
ruled the new regulation was “arbitrary and capricious” and
declared it invalid, after the American Beverage Association and
other business groups had sued the city challenging the ban.

Yes, arbitrary and capricious certainly sounds like Mayor Nanny to us. Perhaps this judge can get rid of the Mayor while he’s at via the same stellar logic.

Yesterday’s ostrich races in Chandler, Arizona. No word on whether ostrich-fan John Boehner was in attendance – he admires the way the big birds race hard and then stick their heads in the sand at the finish.

Study: Even ancient mummies had clogged arteries. “Even without modern-day temptations like fast food or cigarettes, people had clogged arteries some 4,000 years ago, according to the biggest-ever hunt for the condition in mummies.” OK, but what about the daddies? (Sorry, we just couldn’t resist.) Seriously, we’re sure the cause will be shown to be that Pharaoh Bloomberg was overruled in his attempt to ban 16oz papyrus juice containers.
