I HATE THE MEDIA ™

New rules make it easier for ATF to seize guns without due process. The Bill of Rights seems to be dying the death of a thousand executive orders. When are the Congressional Clowns going to awaken?

How ‘Pro-Choice’ are Democrats? Ah proglodytes . . . if it wasn’t for double standards they’d have no standards at all. (BTW, we’re very pleased with how nice that quip is, which of course leads us to believe someone, somewhere has probably said it before.)

Fed Chairman Bernanke benefited from low interest rates to refinance his home mortgage: Something tells us that the big house Helicopter Ben should be spending time in isn’t the one he’s gutting our dollars to pay for.

Dems Warned Against Certifying Obama Eligible for White House. That fishy smell just won’t leave Hawaii. Not even Fabreze seems to get rid of it.

Barack Obama’s war on America’s water supply. Water water everywhere and not a drop for us.

GALLUP SUED BY DOJ AFTER UNFAVORABLE OBAMA POLLS, EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS. Evidently Gallup did the math right too, and Axlerod has a corn cob up his ass. Now we get what appears to be improper use of the DOJ by a sitting President to quash. Will Rasmussen be the next recipient of a DOJ lawsuit? Smells like desperation.

DISGUSTING: Obama Lies About Mother’s Cancer Fight – Media Remains Silent. Barack Obama lied about how his mother died.

‘Do the civil-rights struggles of the past 200 years mean absolutely nothing to you?’: NFL star sends vitriolic letter backing same-sex marriage to anti-gay Maryland politician. Another member of that wonderfully progressive Democrat Party who talks out of his hypocritical ass.

Do the Math: Rasmussen party affiliation survey bodes well for Romney. Take a gander at Rasmussen’s history of Party affiliation – the numbers for Aug 2012 are R-37.6%, D-33.3%, I-29.2%. In November 2008, it was R-33.8%, D-41.4% and I-24.7%. This is basically a +12 pt swing to the Rs and an even bigger spread in favor of R than November 2010 (R-36%, D-34.7%), when the Dems lost 63 seats in Congress.

A lot of media polls showing Obama slightly ahead have a sample similar to 2008’s. What would the results be if they used the current Rasmussen sample? Do the math: let’s simplify a little and assume Obama gets all the D voters, Romney gets all the R and they split the I’s (Obama won the I’s in 2008 but no matter for the illustration.) Using the 2008 sample, we get Obama with 53.8% of the vote and Romney with 46.2%, pretty close to the actual result.

Using the 2012 sample, we get Romney 51.2% and Obama 47.9%, again remembering we are SPLITTING INDIES DOWN THE MIDDLE (Carville claims Romney is up by 16 with them!) If Carville is right, the numbers would look even better – our calculator shows Romney at 54.5%, Obama 45.5%.

The MSM is putting out a lot of propaganda to try and make it seem like Obama is a lock, but there are plenty of signs to the contrary. We have to say if Rasmussen is anywhere NEAR right about party affiliation, Romney’s chances are much better than they will admit.

Meet your new economic adviser, Mr President! Lindsay Lohan encourages President Obama to slash taxes for ‘Forbes millionaires.’ Something tells us she must have just got a call from her CPA telling her what a huge check she has to send Uncle Sam. Maybe that’s why she can’t afford her hotel bill.

Obama “promise” expires after one day. Thursday night, Obama said “I will NEVER turn Medicare into a voucher”, but “back in Washington, his Health and Human Services Department is launching a pilot program that would shift up to 2 million of the poorest and most-vulnerable seniors out of the federal Medicare program and into private health insurance plans overseen by the states.” Obama’s promises go bad faster than his dog-and-arugula leftovers.

AP reports Mexico arrests suspect in Fast and Furious related killing of Brian Terry – Guess whose name is NOT mentioned? They do manage to find a way to mention Bush, though. Dear AP, we wonder: is it dark in the tank for Obama or what? Can you find your butts with just your hands or do you need flashlights too?

Michael Moore: No, Obama didn’t save Detroit. “No, he didn’t. He saved General Motors and Chrysler… global corporations who suck our towns dry and then split town to make more money elsewhere (except, of course, they continued to design and built crap cars, so eventually they didn’t make the money at all).” Is Moore rolling out the “progressivism didn’t fail, Obama did” meme already? If so, it’s not a good omen for the Light-headed One.

Lady Gaga: If Romney wins, let’s move to new planet. For her, earth would be a new planet.

White House misses deadline for required spending cuts. The Sequestration Transparency Act signed in August says the president had to hand them in yesterday, and he signed the law so he should know. Add this to missed deadlines for the last two presidential budgets. Gee, what is this guy doing with his time that prevents him from getting work done?

Are Chinese banks hiding “The mother of all debt bombs”? “Financial collapses may have different immediate triggers, but they all originate from the same cause: an explosion of credit. This iron law of financial calamity should make us very worried about the consequences of easy credit in China in recent years.” Undoubtedly Bush’s fault.

Why were no WMDs found in Iraq? New study says CIA blew it. A classified mea-culpa: after the mid-90s defection of Hussein Kamel al-Majid (Saddam’s son-in-law & 2nd cousin), Saddam decided to forego the “cheat and retreat” policy he had been using since 1991, and play it straight. But the CIA continued to assume he was still lying. “There was no sudden intelligence failure caused by Blackwater, George Bush and Dick Cheney.” A massive, decade-long screw-up.

Tourists paying to help fight Detroit’s fires: Is this idea for real? No, it was just something they were kicking around. Hey, since Detroit is broke, maybe it should face reality like California is doing and build a multi-billion dollar bullet train to fix everything….

NBC: Hey, weak jobs growth beyond is government’s control!* Of course, if jobs growth were strong, it would all be because of the magnificent gubbermint efforts on the economy led by President Vacant Chair. NBC = Nothing But Cronies. (*When a false Democrat god NBC wishes to suck up to is in office.)

Awful: new jobs at 96,000, missing expectations; rate hits 8.1%. Unexpectedly lousy, as expected. New job totals for June and July revised downward. “The Labor Department’s birth-death model, which approximates jobs created by new businesses during the month, added 87,000 to the total, making it primarily responsible for the net job gains.” The birth-death model is basically a guess, and the model appears to be broken.

Obama Makes Case for 2nd Term: ‘Harder’ Path to ‘Better Place’: Sorry, we don’t think the place that Barry wants to take us is a better one. It is curious though. For all this rhetoric of the long term required to improve the plight of Americans it certainly didn’t take the man more than a couple of days to use the Office of President to raise his standard of living to the best it has ever been.

Let’s Ban Profits! Proglodytes want to ban profits? How about we meet these guys half-way on this one and agree to ban on all of the corporate profits that end up going to the government -or in other words the proxy consumption taxes that drive up our cost of living, reduce the effectiveness of our paychecks and buy off all the greedy Obama supporters that seek to inherit a greater benefit from our labor than we may.

Heartbreak after teenaged Obama volunteers rewarded with Golden ticket to his speech are now UNINVITED due to space. There’s 52,000 FEWER seats in the smaller indoor venue – sorry, kids. “‘I definitely feel like they should not have promised all these people tickets if there was a chance that we couldn’t actually use them,’ Madeline told ABC.” Obama breaking promises – she should be USED to that by now.

Secret Service looking into DNC delegate who wants to “kill” Romney. Video at the link – it’s a Helen Thomas clone who says “Romney will destroy this country” and “If I see him I would like to kill him.” The party of tolerance and civility displaying their usual intolerance and uncivilness. At least she didn’t call him a “Nazi.” Oh, and her hat seems to think Puerto Rico is the 51st state. Only 6 more to go, Barry.

UK judge lets burglar go free: “It takes a huge amount of courage to burgle somebody’s house.” It takes a huge amount of stupid to say that.
