UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPPED IN EVERY STATE THAT ELECTED A REPUBLICAN GOV. IN 2010. Want a clue voters in states like California? Vote Republican.

All aboard for Bakersfield! California pours $7.9 billion into bullet train bottomless pit. The state whose budget deficit “unexpectedly” swelled from $9.2 billion to $16 billion earlier this year is now going to spend the first $7.9 billion “on a high speed rail line connecting…Madera and Bakersfield.” Unlike Russian Roulette, California Roulette is played with a single bullet train.

Australia’s Girl Guides drop the Queen from their pledge. Possibly belated acknowledgement of their allegiance to King Mike?

FBI probe targets Islamic extremists in US army. Well, you can’t blame them. They just took the Army’s “be all you can be” campaign very seriously. They want to be the best terrorist killers possible and that’s all they want to be.

Disability ranks outpace new jobs in Obama recovery. “The economy created just 80,000 jobs in June, the BLS reported Friday. But that same month, 85,000 workers left the workforce entirely to enroll in the Social Security Disability Insurance program, according to the SSA.” Of course, those 85K no longer count as “unemployed.” Damn fine wreckovery you got there, Barry.

Ohio diner owner dead hours after serving Barack Obama. Looks like roll-your-own cigarette shops isn’t the only thing Obama snuffed today. Must be like the opposite of the King Midas touch.

Obama snuffs out another industry. With the stroke of a pen today, Barack Obama put the nation’s roll-your-own cigarette shops out of business. Another day, another group of Americans out of work – just a typical day for the nation’s first red president.

‘Mountain of garbage’ left by Dolores Park revelers. Another case of liberals being effing pigs. No insult to pigs, who are much neater than liberals, intended.

Sobbing Ohio woman at Obama campaign stop just happens to be “Obama’s best fan.” “An emotional Ohio voter personally thanked President Obama for passing a health care overhaul, relating the story of her late sister’s battle with cancer.” But it turns out her Twitter handle is “Obama’s Best Fan.” “Gee, do you think she was a plant?” Yes, in more ways than one.

UN calls for ‘billionaires tax’ to help world’s poor. So, how bad is it? It appears the UN is now following France’s lead.

OBAMA ADMIN GAVE $98.5 MILLION TO ALTERNATIVE ENERGY COMPANY NOW GOING BELLY-UP. Yet more tax dollars down the solar powered outhouse.

Napolitano on weird weather and climate change: ‘There’s a pattern here’. There certainly is. It’s a pattern of cheating, stupidity, collusion and plain old lies, all designed to make the ignorant believe weather is global warming. About as good as Janet telling us the southern border of the US is secure or Obama claiming to be like Reagan.

This time, socialism will work! “France’s new Socialist government announced tax rises worth 7.2 billion euros on Wednesday, including heavy one-off levies on wealthy households and big corporations, to plug a revenue shortfall this year caused by flagging economic growth…” But they somehow expect this will stimulate growth. Centuries of failure prove nothing!

Report: Countrywide Financial won influence with discounts to gov’t officials. “The former Countrywide Financial Corp., whose subprime loans helped start the nation’s foreclosure crisis, made hundreds of discount loans to buy influence with members of Congress, congressional staff, top government officials and executives of troubled mortgage giant Fannie Mae, according to a House report.” This was all Bush’s fault so he musta made them take the money.

Chris Rock: “Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks.” No Mr. Rock that wasn’t fireworks on the first Independence Day. That was gunpowder and the sacrifice of those laying down their lives to purchase freedom. Four score and some years later another 600,000 Americans laid down their lives in the conflict to help set right what the founders got wrong. And it is unfortunate that you cannot appreciate the efforts of those that did far more to end the slavery of their times than you are willing to do in order to confront that which exists in ours.

When fascism comes to America it will not be -as supposed by Sinclair Lewis- “wrapped in the flag” or “carrying a cross”. Rather it will be with the Supreme Court deciding that congress has unlimited power to exert control over the lives of the American citizen.

Seattle Occupy group drops $5,000 from hotel: And so it would seem that it is insanely easy to throw away money you haven’t earned. Meanwhile a lot of the rest of America had to go to work that day in order to earn enough money to pay these whiney whiner’s fair share.

Bus driver says caffeine made him grope girls: Obviously the man drinks the same brand of coffee that Bill Clinton does.

Are global central banks in panic mode? The ECB and People’s Bank of China (love that name) cut interest rates while the Bank of England increased the size of its bond-buying program. “Some policy makers may be at the limits of their influence.” In other words, they’re pushing on the proverbial string.

Rightful King of England dies in Australia. The man historical researchers determined was the rightful heir to the British monarchy, but worked as a forklift driver in New South Wales, died Saturday at age 71. His name was Mike. Meanwhile, the usurper known as Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee. As The Temptations say, “Ain’t No Justice.”

Rahm Emmanuel Appoints Terror-linked CAIR to Advisory Committee. Sounds like Chicago wants to compete with Detroit as the US home of the religion of peace. Soon they’ll wish Al Capone was back.

As GM shares near record low, taxpayer loss on bailout rises to $35 billion. “Communism failed for a reason: government is a horrible capital allocator.” – Vitaliy N. Katsenelson

The sharks have eaten him!’ Fishermen left with just the head of 600lb marlin after two enormous tiger sharks savage their prize catch. We find it amusing the writer evidently never read ‘The Old Man and the Sea,’ and that Earnest Hemingway was evidently a prophet.

NC lawmakers have apparently accidentally legalized fracking. A veto of a bill by soon-to-be-both-gone-and-forgotten Gov Bev Perdue was overridden due to Rep. Becky Carney (D-Mecklenburg) pressing the wrong button. For once, a Democrat frack-up helps the economy.

Government experts confirm mermaids do not exist. However, belief in green energy unicorns, stimulating Keynesian tooth fairies and free mandatory healthcare made possible by a non-mandated tax (or a non-taxing mandate?) is obligatory until further notice.
