I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Piers Morgan is obviously still filled with helpless shame after losing that gun-control debate to Ben Shapiro, because he’s still coming up with stuff he thinks he should’ve said that night. That’s why, instead of keeping it to himself, he delighted us all with this: America has over 5000 nuclear warheads. Quite hard to defend against a ‘tyrannical U.S. government’ with that kind of firepower. #GetReal. No worries there. We’ll just make sure to pass some very serious anti-fallout legislation before the nuking begins. That should be sufficient to keep everybody safe. #PiersFail.

Journal News gun permit map used by burglars to target White Plains home? “A White Plains residence pinpointed on a controversial handgun permit database was burglarized Saturday, and the burglars’ target was the homeowner’s gun safe.” In other news, “Fecal matter mailed to [Journal News] editor CynDee Royle.” Sending fecal matter to an a***ole – how ironic.

Harry Reid’s name surfaces in bribery case. “Embattled St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson says new Utah Attorney General John Swallow helped broker a deal in 2010 in which Johnson believed he was to pay Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid $600,000 to make a federal investigation into Johnson’s company go away.” Probably just a guilt by association thing – we’re sure the media wouldn’t even bring it up if Harry were a Republican.

Republican establishment declares war on GOP voters. “As seen from the halls of power, the problem is that Republican voters think it’s OK to replace incumbent senators and congressman who don’t represent the views of their constituents.” “The Republican establishment has two choices. They can act as mature party leaders of a national political party, or they can protect their own self-interest.” Any guesses as to which they’ll pick? Stop laughing.

Pretend Gun Control. “For instance, the ‘gun-free’ school zone is a victory in disarming people in the same way that getting all countries except North Korea and Iran to destroy their nuclear weapons would be a victory in nuclear disarmament.” “Something” must be done and that something will not work anyway so let’s ban something that doesn’t exist and declare “problem solved.” Sounds like the perfect solution for today’s sound-bite-driven low-information society.

Why is public education so expensive? Well, for one thing, New York City spends $6,900 per student moving them around on yellow buses.

Things my friends send me, Part II. They say all humor must based in truth. (Note: Don’t know the source of this one, either, but congratulations to whoever came up with it.)

Things my friends send me, Part I. I wish I could give someone credit, but who knows where this stuff comes from. Thanks, Dave P.

Krugman: Recession Could Be Solved In Just Two Years If We Spent More: How many times does this ass-clown have to be wrong before we stop listening to him? How many times can he use the same the same lie to justify this ongoing theft of our savings, labor and property?

Sharpton: Is Obama Ready for Mt. Rushmore? ‘If Teddy Roosevelt is the measure, I think it strengthens the case for President Obama’: If Sharpton is making the case that Roosevelt be defaced from Mt. Rushmore we are all for it. It is the only fitting action for a man who so defaced this nation.

Oscar-Nominated ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Picketed By People Who Say Movie Advocates Torture: What do you do when you can’t protest wars, civil liberties abuses, the possibility of indefinite detentions for American citizens (under the NDAA), kill lists and killer drones because Barack Obama is the President? You protest a movie instead.

Joe Biden says there’s “no silver bullet” to stop gun violence. Really, Joe? That’s the metaphor you think is appropriate? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…

Prosecutor who gave David Gregory a pass is family friend. “It is shameful that the politicians running the nation’s capital have sent the clear message that there are two systems of justice in the city: one for the rich and powerful and one for everyone else.” Just ask US Army veteran James Brinkley, who is still grappling with the fallout from his arrest last year on the same charge, about that. BTW, Brinkley is black. Where’s Al Sharpton and the “speaking truth to power” crowd?

Harry Reid to Obama: Please ignore Congress and raise the debt ceiling on your own. All check$ and no balances. Bye-bye Constitutional repubilc, hello banana republic.

Media rattled by coming layoffs at the NYT. Why “rattled”? “…it’s a matter of the Times being the canary in the coal mine. And what happens to the Times in January will happen to MSNBC and Politico in August.” “They shouldn’t worry too much about being fired – after all, this is a vigorous, growing economy with lots of opportunity for work, as they reported throughout the past three years.” This just in: “Time Inc. Will Lay Off 700 After 5% Ad Decline.” Unexpectedly!

Another day another Piers Morgan fail: This is what happens when you bring a soup sandwich to an intellectual gun fight. We expect that any time now Mr. Morgan will look to do to the 1st Amendment what he’s been trying to do to the 2nd.

IRS warns employers: Do not try to avoid ObamaCare insurance mandate. “The IRS said it would issue a so-called ‘anti-abuse rule’ in an attempt to prevent employers from using temp agencies to circumvent the mandate…” Wonder how the IRS feels about employers moving production to China?

Surprise – Electronic medical records turn out to potentially add costs rather than reduce them. A 2005 RAND study said digital medical records would save $81 billion a year – a study coincidentally “paid for by a group of companies, including General Electric and Cerner Corporation, that have profited by developing and selling electronic records systems to hospitals and physician practices.” Another key ObamaCare initiative flops – unexpectedly.

Surprise – David Gregory will not be prosecuted. “OAG has made this determination, despite the clarity of the violation of this important law, because under all of the circumstances here a prosecution would not promote public safety in the District of Columbia nor serve the best interests of the people of the District to whom this office owes its trust.” In other words, Gregory’s a media personality (who provides cover for the Administration) and you’re not. Gregory’s lawyer did receive a sternly-worded letter. That’ll show ‘im.

Reports of hit list probed in CA school shooting. We have to ask what the heck is wrong with school teachers these days? Why? Well, we had a kid suspended recently for having an “assault finger’ and now we find out this kid had a hit list and was let back in school. Evidently colleges need a class titled Common Sense 101 that school teachers and administrators need to pass before they get a teaching credential. It also appears what the school bullies were doing to this child may have been ignored by the staff.

Suzanne Somers says Newtown shootings caused by diet soda. Now we know where stupid washed-up actresses go when they retire – the Huffington Post.

Robber Had Cattle Prod. Store Clerk had Gun. Who Won? NEVER bring a cattle prod to a gunfight.

Bloomberg restricts painkillers in city hospitals. “Supposing it is really true you didn’t get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit,” said New York’s leader. “The other side of the coin is people are dying and there’s nothing perfect.” In other words, so what if you suffer. The Führer wants to keep pills away from drug abusers and that’s all that matters.

Everyone’s moving away. “Detroit is such a mess people are simply fleeing Michigan.” Are people leaving the less fiscally sound states for better situated ones or are blue-state residents simply not reproducing? Maybe both?

Larry King hammers “self-absorbed” Piers Morgan. “Morgan is more about Morgan than he is about the guests, King said.” Self-absorbtion – there’s a lot of that going around these days for some reason. Like the old saying – sh*t rolls downhill from the top.
