NEWS CORP. CHIEF MURDOCH CALLS FOR AUTOMATIC WEAPONS BAN. Another richtard who thinks he knows it all because he has money. Funny, no full auto weapons were used in the shooting in Connecticut. Perhaps he should partner with Bloomberg and present us with the Nanny News Network (NNN).

Detroit pastor threatens governor’s home, daughter, and church. “Just know one thing, Rick Snyder,” said Williams ominously, “You sign that bill, you won’t get no rest. We’ll meet you on Geddes Road [Snyder’s personal residence]. We’ll be at your daughter’s soccer game. We’ll visit you at your church.” Those doggone union supporters: nothing but class.

DEM LAWMAKER: OBAMA MUST ‘EXPLOIT’ SCHOOL SHOOTING TO GET GUN CONTROL. Never waste a crisis. We’d like to know what gun control would have prevented this tragendy? It’s now being alleged the shooter was a whacked-out Goth, that he tried to purchase a gun and was denied, it appears he stole the guns from his mother, had asberger’s syndrome and “another disorder.” Absent that he could have gone to Newark and bought guns on the black market on about any street corner. It appears that nothing short of divine intervention would have stopped this.

The Federal Reserve’s Zombie Economy. It appears zombies are real and Ben Bernanke is their leader.

Prosecutor: SEIU organizer committed voter fraud in 2011 Wisconsin Supreme Court election. In other news, dog bites man, sun rises, pigs don’t have wings and can’t fly, Obama’s policies wreak havoc, etc. Maybe the MSM ignores this type of stuff because they figure it’s a given, eh?

Is the wind industry entering panic mode? “…the absolute necessity of the Production Tax Credit to wind’s ‘competitiveness’ showcases just how thoroughly the industry is still operating based on rent-seeking rather than its own free-market merits after 20 years of government special treatment…” Without gubbermint subsidies, the wind industry would be gone with the you-know-what.

Knife-wielding man injures 22 children in China. Nanny Bloomberg, Michael Moore and the MSM demand stricter knife controls. Sharp stick industry forsees revival.

Michael Moore Takes To Twitter To Demand Stricter Gun Control: Michael Moore would do better to worry about portion control rather than gun control. Especially a gun control policy that would ensure the only people with firearms are the criminals, the mentally unstable and those Mexican drug lords lucky enough to be friends with Eric Holder.

The Commissar Vanishes. “The most disturbing aspect of Susan Rice’s fall is the almost Soviet way in which it occurred, a process which now includes a Daily Beast hagiography of the new heroine, Samantha Power.” “Why his political hide should be all-important to the Democratic Party is a mystery. There seems an unending succession of senior officials willing to take the blame for whatever it is he is cooking up as if driven by ambition, greed or fear. It is all so eerie.” Cults of personality all work that way.

BLOOMBERG: OBAMA MUST TAKE ‘IMMEDIATE ACTION’ AGAINST GUNS. Mayor Nanny, now a gun control pimp, is another a shameless twit who thinks he has all the answers. Perhaps when he retires he should start a column ala Ann Landers in the NYT.

BOSTON MAYOR MENINO: TIME FOR ‘NATIONAL POLICY ON GUNS’: We have a national policy on guns. It is called the Second Amendment. (We see from the comments that we’re not the only ones with this thought . . . which is one of the few things we find reassuring right now)

Obama: I’m more of a moderate Republican than a socialist. Obama: “The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican.” Of course, if someone like Obama had run for president in the 1980s, he would’ve also been considered a moderate nut. Ask the late Geraldine Ferraro.

Man Robs Best Buy and Ends Up in Hospital. Semper fi!

Thoughts in the first post…

Politico, Daily Kos upset “Fox News-Breitbart crowd” gaining influence. All the news the NY Times doesn’t think is fit to print.

The high cost of Dems’ cheap populism. “The NY Times offers a ‘News Analysis’ today in which it is revealed that the Republicans are right on the merits of most of the arguments, but Obama and congressional Democrats have boxed themselves in by relentlessly demagoguing the issue.” “It’s almost as if near-term political gain and populist theater, and not economics, are driving Obama’s approach to policy.” What do you mean “almost as if”?

Planned Parenthood sends out a fundraising letter. “Planned Parenthood health centers are reaching more women than ever before with lifesaving health services,” the letter from president Cecile Richards says. She didn’t mention they’re also reaching more babies than ever, somewhere between three and four hundred thousand per year… but not for lifesaving.

Cavuto cuts off Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson… then calls the interview “a total waste of time.” Sometimes we don’t hate the media.

Think Progress: We could end homelessness with the money Americans spend on Christmas decorations. “…the Grinches at TP want to guilt-trip Americans this holiday season by insinuating that Christmas decorations are the cause of homelessness.” Two can play that game: if not buying Christmas decorations could end homelessness, think of the good the money we spend on lousy dead-tree newspapers, donations to the DNC and union dues could do.

‘Toys for Tatas’: Charity event gets adult twist. Just when you think you’ve about heard it all someone comes up with a new one. And no, it’s not Tata cars from India we’re talking about.

GM ending hybrid pickup truck production next year. Another Government Motors success story!

The lowest-priced Silverado Hybrid, which is only available as a four-door Crew Cab, sells for $41,888, and has an EPA rating of 21 mpg combined. A conventional Silverado Crew Cab with a V8 engine with an EPA rating of 16 mpg combined can be had for $9,000 less, and requires just $750 more fuel each year for the average user.

With numbers like that we’re surprised they even sold one of them. We have to assume the 2,235 people who bought one this year were educated in California with the new math. Eleventy!

Aetna CEO sees Obama health law doubling some premiums. “While subsidies in the law will shield some people, other consumers who make too much for assistance are in for “premium rate shock… The prospect has spurred discussion of having Congress delay or phase in parts of the law.” Like a rotting corpse, it’s falling apart piece by piece…

IPCC AR5 draft leaked, contains game-changing admission of enhanced solar forcing. “The admission of strong evidence for enhanced solar forcing changes everything. The climate alarmists can’t continue to claim that warming was almost entirely due to human activity over a period when solar warming effects, now acknowledged to be important, were at a maximum.” Expect this information to disappear mysteriously before the final report is released.

Palo Alto Congresswoman’s quieter TV commercial law takes effect. Finally! Congress finally does something we like! Now our ears won’t be bleeding every time a commercial comes on.

Susan Rice withdraws from Secretary of State consideration. Obama: Wait until I find the filmmaker responsible for this! “If Susan Rice opposes Susan Rice becoming Secretary of State, does that make her a racist?” Maybe… did she vote for Romney?
