I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Dead obese woman had so much body fat she set the building on fire during her cremation. An alternative headline: New source of oil found. Saudis worried!

Newsweek Writer: “We have this ‘liberty’ business completely backward in this country, and if Bloomberg can start rebalancing individual freedom and the public good, God bless him, I say.” Hey, what if we banned Newsweak (sic) – how many left-wing propaganda rags does the “public good” require anyway? Goin’ out of business for a reason.

Dick Morris – “Bill Clinton does not want Barack Obama to win.” If that’s true, for once we agree with Willie J. In the same vein, Politico says “Bill Clinton is pretty good at sabotaging Obama’s strategy.” Well, we don’t see it as sabotaging Obama as much as helping America. Nuance.

Seat belt law for cats! Just when you thought those East Coast whackos and their police states couldn’t get any weirder…

The chart that proves Obama is not a budget cutter. The president is traveling around the country claiming to be fiscally responsible – that’s his new campaign theme – but this chart proves that he’s the most irresponsible president in history. By a wide margin.

Navy counting on new stealth ship. At $3 billion per ship it’s a hard sell in Congress, but the U.S. Navy is hoping its fancy new boat can sneak up on China and shoot electromagnetic “railguns” at them. Don’t we already have a fleet of stealth ships… called “submarines?”

Death during threesome nets $3 million. Who says the American tort system doesn’t work? Not the lawyers, that’s for sure! This man complained of chest pains, visited a cardiologist, was scheduled for tests 8 days later, but decided to participate in a threesome in the meantime… and died during sex. Clearly, this was the doctor’s fault.

‘Canadian Psycho’: Porn Star Mail Murderer Arrested in Germany. He really should have stayed in France where he could have been declared a national treasure and moved in with Roman Polanski.

Boortz to Bow Out: The Talkmaster has announced that he is hanging up his microphone on 01/21/2013 -either in celebration or with lamentations- ending a career in talk radio that has lasted over forty years. For many Boortz was the gateway drug into libertarianism and has been a longtime champion of the notion that devotion to political philosophy trumps adherence to political party. Longtime friend of the Bootz Show, and victim of a high profile media lynching, Herman Cain will be replacing Boortz. Note: Don’t get Boortz in your area? Here is an app for that.

Barone: America looks like Texas, not like California. Barone says Americans have been fleeing California for two decades with Asian and Hispanic immigrants filling the gap. Due to slowing Latin immigration, it has started losing population. Meanwhile, “Texas has been doing very well. If you draw a triangle whose points are Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, enclosing Austin, you’ve just drawn a map of the economic and jobs engine of North America.”

Obama’s 2008 donors don’t give in 2012. “Nearly 90% of the Americans who gave $200 to Obama’s 2008 campaign haven’t re-upped this year. Disillusionment, and hard times…” Well, the big problem with illusions is that they’re not real to begin with…

Donors who gave $200 to Barack Obama in 2008 but have not yet in 2012, by location. The darkness of the dot corresponds to the number of drop-off donors in that zip code.

War in the White House: attorney general Eric Holder and top Obama adviser David Axelrod ‘had to be separated’. “The two men stood chest to chest. It was like a school yard fight.” Ummm….didn’t he mean school girl fight? Must be a typo.

New York bans big soda. LA bans plastic bags. It seems that instead of the arms race the 21st century has a stupid race.

State Department tells Islamic forun Obama made engaging Muslim world top priority from day one. ‘Engaging’ is one thing, giving away the farm and kissing ass is entirely another.

Amelia Earhart found? “The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), a non-profit foundation promoting aviation archaeology and historic aircraft preservation, reported new details Friday leading researchers to this conclusion: Earhart and Noonan, … landed on a reef at uninhabited Gardner Island, a small coral atoll now known as Nikumaroro Island.” So first Obama killed Bin Laden and now he finds Earhart. Awesome.

Creepy political intimidation in Wisconsin. A mailing Ann Althouse received from the Greater Wisconsin Political Fund showed “my name and address and the names and addresses of a dozen of my neighbors and whether we’d voted in the last 2 elections. The letter says that ‘we’re taking a new approach… sending this mailing to you and your neighbors to publicize who does and does not vote.’ We’re told this is a matter of ‘public record’ and that ‘After the June 5th election’ (the recall) ‘public records will tell everybody who voted and who didn’t.’ I found that quite disgusting.” The 1930s are back, economically and politically.

Hillary Clinton in Arctic to see impact of climate change. “US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a first-hand look Saturday at the way a warming climate is changing the Arctic, opening the region to competition for vast oil reserves.” Important gubbermint business which, unfortunately, prevents her from participating more vigorously in the election campagin.

FARMER PANIC! CROPS DIE AS GOV’T BLOCKS WELLS. Soylent Green here we come.

Florida Tells Holder To Blow It Out His Ass. Finally! Floriduh does something right!

Illinois fails at pension reform… but approves guide horses for Muslims. As the state slides toward bankruptcy because of out-of-control public pensions, it’s nice that lawmakers found the time to cater to a tiny religious minority stuck in a 7th-century time warp where dogs are considered unclean but horses are welcome inside.

Mass. Democrats require photo ID to enter convention. Maybe they already have their quota of 1/32 Cherokees? Seriously, why would they require photo ID for their convention when, according to them, such a requirement for general elections “disenfranchises” nearly everyone who isn’t related to the Koch Brothers? Well, they explained it this way: shut up!

Desperate investment bank entertains novel suggestion. How bad is the worldwide financial crisis? Japanese investment bank Nomura, its share price languishing, might replace company sit-down toilets with Japanese-style toilets… which require squatting. “The company can surely avoid failure if they straddle over a Japanese-style toilet every day and strengthen their lower body,” says one shareholder. Hey, it’s a better idea than anything Barack Obama has suggested.

‘He can’t dunk, wore his hat cocked to look cool and danced like Mick Jagger’: Explosive book reveals Obama’s not-so-presidential past. We wonder what his favorite Stone’s song was?

Bill Clinton defends private equity investors because he’s one of them. Call it a case of self-defense. It wasn’t long ago that Bill was brought into Ron Burkle’s Yucaipa Companies and paid tens of millions of dollars to schmooze with potential takeover clients and investors. (Oh, yeah, Burkle and Clinton were pretty well known for chasing tail all over Hollywood, but that’s another story.)

Here’s how Wikipedia describes a couple of Yucaipa’s deals that went bad:

In February 2006, Aloha Airlines was taken into private ownership by Yucaipa Companies. After 61 years in business, passenger operations were suddenly shut down on March 31, 2008. Rising fuel prices, new competition for interisland travel, a tightening credit market, and dwindling interest by investors in the airline industry, were all cited as contributing factors. In January 2011 Yucaipa won federal Bankruptcy Court approval to buy the Aloha name and other intellectual property for $1.5 million with a stipulation that it not resell the name to Mesa Air Group, the parent of go! Mokulele. It is unknown at this time what the furture plans are for the Aloha name.

Caught in the “pink slime/finely textured beef” controversy and with interim chief executive Ron Allen citing “ongoing media attention” that has “dramatically reduced the demand for all ground beef products” in 2012, Yucaipa’s AFA declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, AFA at the time the controversy broke had about 850 employees and annual revenues of $958 million.

Remember this one next time you hear a lefty talk about Mitt Romney’s career.

Oh my: Obama now below 50% against Romney — in California. Proof you can fool some of the Libtards some of the time but you can’t fool all of the Libtards all of the time.
