I HATE THE MEDIA ™

WAPO BUSTS WHITE HOUSE IN ANOTHER SEQUESTER LIE. This reminds of of one of Aesop’s fables.

The President Who Cried Sequester

There once was a man named Obama who was bored as he sat on Capitol Hill watching the village sheeple. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, “Sequester! Sequester! The sequester is going to cause massive problems for you sheeple!”

The villagers came running up Capitol Hill to help Obama drive the sequester away. But when they arrived at the top of Capitol Hill, they found no sequester problems. Obama laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

“Don’t cry ‘sequester’, Obama,” said the villagers, “when there are no sequester problems!” They went grumbling back down Capitol Hill.

Later, Obama sang out again, “Sequester! Sequester! The sequester is causing massive airport delays for the sheeple!” To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up Capitol Hill to help him drive the sequester away.

When the villagers saw no airport delays they sternly said, “Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don’t cry ‘sequester’ when there are NO sequester problems!”

But Obama just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more, then headed for the golf course.

Later, he saw REAL sequester problems that would affect his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, “Sequester! Sequester!”

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn’t come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why Obama hadn’t returned. They went up Capitol Hill to find Obama. They found him weeping.

“There really was a sequester here! Michelle can’t go on vacation! Biden has to take AMTRAK! I have actually PAY for my golf games! I can’t go on endless campaign trips and have to stay in Washington, DC! I cried out, Sequester! Why didn’t you come?”

And the moral to the story? “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln.

Mayor Bloomberg’s new health crusade: too-loud earbuds. Another day, yet more BS from the world’d greatest control freak.

Author quotes then-professor Obama saying, “I don’t believe people should be able to own guns”. “He did not come across as a moderate who wanted to bring people together,” [author John] Lott writes. …Lott suggested that they have lunch one day to discuss their views on guns. According to Lott, Obama “grimaced and turned away.” That was the way many conversations with Obama ended, Lott says. We don’t care if he goes away mad but we do wish he’d go away.

BIDEN IS ‘DUMB AS AN ASHTRAY’: THE BEST PARTS FROM THE ‘VANITY FAIR’ PREVIEW OF THE NEW ROGER AILES BIOGRAPHY. As for President Obama, he’s “lazy.” When Hollywood makes a movie about Obama perhaps they can call it Dumb & Lazy.

Sean Penn on Hugo Chavez’s death: ‘I lost a friend.’ OK, so here’s Sean. Yes, Sean, probably the only friend you have outside of Oliver Stone. So who’s ahead in the Hugo ass kissing contest? Sean or Jummuh?

Jimmy Carter remembers Chavez for his contributions to the ‘neglected and marginalized.’ Jimmuh must still think he’s in the POTUS chair in the Oval Office. So far he appears way ahead of the pack in the Hugo ass kissing contest. We’re still waiting to hear from Sean Penn, though.

Analyst estimates Chávez’s family fortune at around $2 billion. These socialist “friends of the poor” hate rich people – rich people who aren’t them, that is.

REVEALED: HOLDER SAYS PRESIDENT COULD AUTHORIZE MILITARY DRONE STRIKES INSIDE U.S. IN EMERGENCY. First it was on foreigners, then on US citizens outside the US, now it’s US citizens inside the US. Seems to be a very slippery slop here. What’s next? Drone strikes OK on Republicans?

Scenes from the Sequestrocalypse: TSA to spend $50 million on new uniforms. Funny that she threatened everyone about sequester cuts yet she has $50 million to blow. We wonder if the new uniforms will be brown with little SS lightning bolts on the collars?

INTERNAL GOVERNMENT EMAIL: MAKE SEQUESTER CUTS AS PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE. Typical Democrat tactic. Meanwhile we don’t hear of any delays at airports or a mass exodus across the southern border. More BS from the Obama administration.

Hugo Chavez dead. Hugo’s never looked so good!

Show me the bunny: Playboy launches HEBREW edition for Israeli readers in Holy Land. Oy vey!

School offers counseling for students troubled by pastry-gun incident. What’s really needed is counseling for parents troubled by having to send their kids to increasingly expensive schools run by blithering idiots where their kids don’t learn anything except that they shouldn’t make pretend guns out of pop tarts.

Feds keep hiring with sequesters in place: 400 jobs posted on first day back. The sky isn’t falling, there just isn’t as much hot air in it as there was last week.

America divided: inflation felt by many while Bernanke fights deflation. Helicopter Ben says inflation is mild but many people’s wallets say differently. Turns out, they’re both right – the unseen problem is that real wages and incomes are falling, so that while prices may be rising modestly, consumers have less and less money with which to buy. “Fixing” one problem causes a different one – surprise!

NAPOLITANO BLASTS MEDIA FOR EXPOSING ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL RELEASE. Looks like fat cockroaches hate the light. She needs to visit the Roach Hotel.

Ice-Free Antarctic, Arctic Predictions in the Toilet. Eeek! There will be no ice in 2020! No it’s 2025! No it’s 2050! No it’s 2100! Well, sometime in the future! How’s that for some real scientific accuracy?

Menendez sponsored bill to benefit big donor. “…the AP discovers that Melgen turns out to be one of the big investors in a company that would have benefited from Menendez’ sponsorship of legislation to provide federal subsidies to natural-gas conversions for automobiles.” But-but-but it’s not corruption if it’s “helping” the environment an’ stuff.

Giant colon in Times Square… Doesn’t this story need a punchline? Like: “and out walked Michael Bloomberg.” Or: “then Barney Frank went back to Massachusetts.” And why are all those people bowing to the giant colon?

Mayor Bloomberg’s go-to adjectives for bad ideas: ‘dumb’ and ‘stupid’. If anyone should know a stupid idea when he hears one, the king of stupid ideas should.

Beat the press. It’s not only Bob Woodward being abused by the Obama administration. “In an e-mail, they called her the vilest names — b..ch, c–t, a–hole.” Real class act these Obama thugs, eh?

Nearly 1200 people starved to death in UK NHS hospitals over last 4 years – nurses too busy to feed patients. And “…for every patient who dies from malnutrition, four more have dehydration mentioned on their death certificate. Critics say nurses are too busy to feed patients and often food and drink are placed out of reach of vulnerable people.” Yeah, but what did you expect? It’s “free”.

‘Are we just going to let this lady die?’: Dispatcher’s desperate plea for nurse give CPR to save elderly woman, 87, after caretaker refused. Never mind. Nothing to see here. Just practicing for Obamacare.

Ann Romney: ‘I’m Happy to Blame the Media.’ Like us, it looks like Ann Romney hates the media, too!

Shepherds and Sheep. Thomas Sowell deflates Cass Sunstein’s argument that our “betters” should tell us how to live our lives: “Implicit in the wide range of efforts on the left to get government to take over more of our decisions for us is the assumption that there is some superior class of people who are either wiser or nobler than the rest of us.” There ain’t, but that don’t stop ’em from thinking there is. “The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.” – Albert Camus
