I HATE THE MEDIA ™

“Ice melt stuns scientists.” That was the headline Yahoo used to link to a LiveScience article headlined, “Record Greenland Ice Melt Happened in Days.” Trouble is, this sort of melt happens approximately every 150 years and the last one was in 1889… so this isn’t stunning, it isn’t a record, and Yahoo and LiveScience are full of shit.

Obama throws himself and Warren under the bus. Trying to dig himself out of the hole he dug, Obama looks increasingly shovel-ready.

Did Government Invent the Internet? Gee, and we thought everybody knew Al Gore invented the internet, not to mention he invented Global Warming.

Nearly one in 10 employers to drop health coverage when PPACA kicks in. “One in three respondents said they could stop offering coverage if the law requires them to provide more generous benefits than they do now, if a tax on high-cost plans takes effect in 2018 as scheduled or if they decide it would be cheaper for them to pay the penalty for not providing insurance.” Failure is always unexpected when one’s head is firmly implanted up one’s butt.

Nanny Bloomberg gives Viet Nam an attaboy for going “smoke free.” “I want to congratulate Vietnam for officially going smoke-free. Last week, Vietnam adopted a comprehensive tobacco control law which makes virtually all public places 100% smoke-free and requires vivid health warnings on all tobacco packages.” Have ego, will travel.

Hack that works for a president who has no idea how the economy works wonders if Romney knows how the economy works. Even though Obama has presided over the worst economy in decades, he knows what he’s doing – after all, he got great Marx at Harvard. Cutter has no idea how irony works.

Big solar plants on western public land could power 7 million homes. “The Department of Interior has made 285,000 acres at 17 sites in six western states” Amazing timing! It appears all this largess has conveniently happened about the time Obama needs megamoney from megawatt companies to bolster his campaign funds. Anyone taking bets that the EPA will start handing out more $500 million loan guarantees any day now?

Report: Canadian health care spending unsustainable. Get ready to bend over when Obamacare is implemented and the Demtards find out it’s like everyone else’s government healthcare program. Either taxes will rise or the care will decline. Contrary to Obama’s BS it’s not affordable.

Solyndra figures attend swank Obama fundraiser. The bankruptcy that Obama built… well, one of ’em, anyway.

The Feds Violated the Constitution but the Administration Won’t Say How. Constitution? We don’t gotta show you no stinkin’ Constitution! Bwahahahah!

James Hansen Demonstrates Again That He Is Completely Incompetent. Well Mr. Hansen, we have to ask what caused the heatwaves in the 1930’s? Unicorn farts?

Tina Brown: Fear Politicians Have of NRA is ‘Disgusting.’ Watch Tina and her cohorts go from “wondering what kind of mental illness this guy has,” (0:36) to declaring “this is nuts, there’s no reason to have a weapon like that. To have an assault rifle and a 100 round magazine in the middle of a supposedly civilized society, that’s insane.” (3:45) Isn’t is amazing how they went from being completely unable to diagnose what’s wrong with the movie shooter to being able to forcefully declare gun ownership “insanity” in about 3 minutes? We think the real insanity lies elsewhere, like with news people like this.

 

Sally Ride’s family outs her posthumously. According to her sister, Bear Ride, “who identifies as gay,” Sally didn’t hide her relationship with another woman, but if she didn’t announce it when she was alive and none of us cared about it when she was alive, why are they making it a topic of discussion now?

Energy-efficient CFL bulbs cause skin damage, say researchers. “Our study revealed that the response of healthy skin cells to UV emitted from CFL bulbs is consistent with damage from ultraviolet radiation.” Great, lightbulbs that give you sunburn. Wonder if ObamaCare’s tanning booth tax will now be applied to CFLs.

Dem House members failing to pony up dues for campaign PAC. Seems the party that’s always whining about “fairness” and “sharing” has a lot of well-off members who want to keep their cash for themselves instead of helping out their less fortunate comrades. Shocking, simply shocking.

Prosecutor: Teens killed man in “knock ‘em down” game. “After the video of the incident was posted to Facebook, it was spotted by a witness who prosecutors said had been attacked by Jones on June 30.” Any minute now, lefties no-labelies like Nanny Bloomberg will demand fists be banned.

Obama built that! To paraphrase Fauxcahontas, noboby need go bankrupt on their own, not when they have Obama to help them.

How easy is it to fool the media? Very. Using a site called Help a Reporter Out (HARO), a free service that puts sources in touch with reporters, Ryan Holiday has been quoted in news sources from small blogs to the most reputable outlets in the country talking about things he knows relatively nothing about.

IRS says art work that literally can not be sold is worth $65 million. An artwork which contains a stuffed bald eagle is valued by experts at $0 because it is a felony to sell any bald eagle, alive or dead. Somehow, the IRS has decided the market value of a piece no purchaser in his or her right mind would buy is $65 million.

U.S. Air Force to Purchase $59/Gal Biofuel from Major Democrat Donor. The Solyndra of fuel. Obama, the gift that keeps on giving………..to his buddies.

Holmes’ Tea Party affiliation wasn’t the only thing ABC got wrong. ABC reported that his mother, when she heard about the massacre, suggested her son was the likely culprit. “You have the right person,” ABC reported she said. Didn’t happen that way. She was merely verifying that the reporter had telephoned the correct person, not that she believed her son was a mass murderer. ABC: American Bullshitting Company.

Gallup: Bain still a positive for Romney: Note to Team Obama . . . during times of sincere economic distress the last thing you should do is spend a lot of money reminding the people that your opponent is very good at turning around failing operations.

Earnings Show Recession May Be ‘Fast Approaching’ : Funny, we weren’t aware that it had ever ended.

Rachel Dratch: Nice of Obama to speak against “senseless violence” but WHEN IS ANY LEADER going to grow a pair and move to ban assault rifles & Glocks? Glocks specifically huh? Sounds like somebody’s on the H&K payroll.

Bay Area faces new high-speed rail costs. Jerry Brown lied! Bank accounts and businesses will die. The ink on Jerry’s signature isn’t even dry yet and we already have a massive cost increase. This is just the warm up.
