I HATE THE MEDIA ™

House votes Holder in contempt of congress. FINAL VOTE: 255 – YES, 67 – NO. At least 17 Democrats defected and joined Republicans in the contempt charge. Sh*t meets the fan.

Meanwhile…. Abound Solar to close, will seek bankruptcy, U.S. says. “U.S. taxpayers may lose as much as $30 million on the loan after Abound’s assets are sold and the bankruptcy proceeding closes…” Hey, it’s not a bankruptcy, it’s a tax! Another victory for Obama!

Courts and the Constitution. Looks like Mitt needs to edit his website and rid it of Justice RINO. In paragraph 4: “As president, Mitt will nominate judges in the mold of Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. These justices hold dear what the great Chief Justice John Marshall called “the basis on which the whole American fabric has been erected”: a written Constitution, with real and determinate meaning.” If it disappears I have a screenshot. Mr. Ed or Mr. Adm will have to load it because it won’t load.

White House Insider: OBAMACARE …”Now we are truly ready to fight.” Posted a similar take in a comment to an earlier article before reading this. You be the judge. “The Obamacare ruling is good news for us. Real good news. It’s 2010 all over again now. Swing states will shift over to Romney in most cases. Trust me on this. We’ve done the polling. The data is conclusive on this. It’s a huge tax. We got Obama lying. Again.”

Obama’s Legacy at Risk After Winning Health-Care Fight: Forget Barry’s legacy. We’re more worried for the one belonging to all those that sacrificed so much to end slavery in this country. Because the individual mandate pretty much brings that awful institution back.

Big Government Health Care PSA: Can’t afford to pay for your own health insurance? What a coincidence. We can’t afford to pay for your health insurance either.

D.C. schools spending more than $29,000 per student. According to the Census Bureau, Washington, D.C., public schools spent $29,409 per student in the 2009-2010 school year. That means a class of 25 kids cost taxpayers $735,225 to babysit for a year. No wonder the teachers’ unions own the Democrat Party – they’ve been running a gold mine.

Poll: Obama would be better equipped than Romney to deal with alien invasion. A survey commissioned for the National Geographic Channel’s series Chasing UFOs shows folks think Obama would be better than Romney at handling an invasion by extraterrestrials, but they never explain what they mean by “handling.” We think Obama’s reaction to such an invasion would go something like this:

Police: Teaneck (NJ) man pulled gun on neighbor for farting. “An elderly man was arrested Monday night after a neighbor’s fart allegedly drove him to threaten him with a gun, police said.” The guy was just getting in touch with his inner Bloomberg.

Obama hasn’t spoken to Colorado Gov for 15 days despite raging wildfires. Hey, remember when the media skewered Bush for not paying more attention to Katrina? Good times. Gee, don’t any rich celebrities have homes in Aspen or Telluride suitable for holding fundraisers?

Breaking news: We agree with an anti-Semitic homophobe. Don’t get us wrong, we don’t agree with Democrat Charles Barron’s comments on Jews and gays. But we do agree with the losing candidate in Brooklyn’s 8th Congressional District when he denounced the media on election night and called them “really lowlife scum”. As the old saying goes, even a blind, anti-Semitic, homophobic sow occasionally finds an acorn.

Hoyer: Some Dems will vote to hold Holder in Contempt for Fast And Furious. “The chief Democratic House head counter, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, declined to tell reporters how many defections he expected…” It could be as many as 30 according to one blogger. Hey, the journ0lists are always whining about the need for bipartisan action so this oughta make them happy for once.

Obama warns on healthcare ruling:Barack Obama suggested that any decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn his landmark healthcare law would send the country “backwards” and that Americans did not want to “re-fight” the battle over healthcare. Mr. President, we have not yet begun to fight.

Japan police probe man who cooked own genitals. “Tokyo police are investigating whether a man who cooked his own severed genitals and served them to five paying diners committed a crime, the force said Tuesday.” Well, as long as they were low on salt and transfats and weren’t served with a 16 oz soda, Nanny Bloomberg would approve.

Confrontation With TSA Agent Leaves Family Member’s Ashes On Floor: Don’t worry about the light Grandpa. Stay away from the TSA.

Two children hospitalized with sunburns after school forbade them from applying sunscreen. “Children cannot apply the block to themselves unless they have a doctor’s note as the district considers sunscreen an over-the-counter medication requiring prescription.” Ummm, an over-the-counter medication is sold without a prescription, hence the designation “over-the-counter.” Regardless, how about at least getting the kids into the shade before they burst into flames?

Scientific study determines Antarctic ice not melting. The funny thing is, just yesterday the Associated Press reported that according to climate models the East Coast is threatened by rising sea levels from melting ice. Gee, who do we believe? The science or the computer models?

Democrats cancel Speedway event at Charlotte convention. “The move comes as party planners are grappling with a fundraising deficit of roughly $27 million, according to two people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss internal party politics.” Anybody got a set of Hot Wheels?

“The most troubling part for the president is that he’s become so unpopular that donors don’t want their names to be associated with his events.” “Obama himself had someone privately foot the tab for security at a New Hampshire stop after the locals decided they’d had enough of this freeloader campaigning on the public dime. Yet they won’t disclose the donor.” And neither will the donor. 2008: Change! 2012: Spare change?

ATF leader’s email could be Fast and Furious smoking gun and Holder admitted Obama can’t shield it. Hollering daddy save me won’t work this time Mr. Holder. Time to fess up.

Jimmy Carter savages US foreign policy over drone strikes. One would think the world’s most famous drone would like his fellow drones killing terrorists, but no, in typical UN style, he just drones on.

Stockton, CA faces midnight deadline to avert bankruptcy. “Stockton’s financial troubles have been compounded, according to city officials, by generous pay and benefits for city employees and retirees and the city taking on too much debt when it enjoyed a home-building boom in the last decade…” Stockton will be the largest US city ever to file for bankruptcy, but probably not for long.

Nicke Gillespie owns Maddow and Maher (redeems them after the show for a cup of coffee whereupon he receives 35 cents back in change) : When confronted with REASON Maddow reacts with a shrill ‘I’m louder than you so I must be right” defense highlighted by obfuscation and an inability to process more than one side of what can only charitably be described as a debate. In other words, it was just like any other two minutes in her life.

Gay pride guests at White House flip the bird at Ronald Reagan. It happened about a week ago. Obama hosted a gathering of gay activists at the White House and two participants posed for photographs in front of Ronald Reagan’s portrait. That’s Matthew “Matty” Hart on the left and Zoe Strauss on the right… epitomizing the notion of gay pride. In fact, they were so proud they posted the photos on Facebook.

Pres. Obama: ‘It’s Fashionable Right Now For People to be Cynical’: Better than in 2008 when it was fashionable to be stupid.
