I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Nigeria accuses Chinese traders of ‘scavenging’ in Kano. “However, he said foreign nationals who came to Nigeria to invest and create employment for Nigerians would be “welcomed and supported by the federal government”.” He must mean the suckers who respond in person to Nigerian Scam emails.

Obama’s war on coal hits your electric bill. “The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural gas – was $136 per megawatt. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. … These are not computer models or projections or estimates. These are the actual prices that electric distributors have agreed to pay for new capacity. The costs will be passed on to consumers at the retail level.” Think what that’ll do for the economy.

Man Loses $22,000 In New ‘Policing For Profit’ Case. Don’t let Jerry Brown read about this.

‘Barcode everyone at birth.’ Is the mark of the beast on it’s way?

Biden: Imagine where we’d be if obstructionist Tea Party hadn’t taken House. Probably the same place as Solyndra or Lightsquared is right now, but that’s not what Gaffy Duck meant. Although given his propensity for blurting out the truth inadvertently at times, you can never be totally sure…

The rain from Bain gives Obama a pain. Anderson Cooper repeatedly asks Obama super-PAC chief Ben LaBolt how Obama can justify attacks on Mitt Romney’s work at Bain while holding fundraisers with Blackstone and other private-equity firms that do the exact same work. LaBolt ignores the questions and keeps repeating campaign talking points over and over. Just sayin’ what the teleprompter tells him to say, like his boss.

Cronkite and the roots of media bias. The late Walter Cronkite is the MSM’s symbol of the “golden age” of news when reporting was objective and impartial, before Fox News and talk radio screwed it all up. Maybe not… “a new biography of Cronkite spills the beans on the godlike anchorman’s unethical practices, including blatant partisanship that would make the conservative talkers on Fox and the liberals on MSNBC blush.”

Ass rape sparks riot in Yemen. A donkey mounted an ass and the two owners came from different tribes, so everybody started killing each other. (Naturally.) Two questions occur. One, why are Muslims so ass-backward all the time? And two, what’s the difference between an ass and a donkey?

Ninth Circuit court takes million-dollar trip on taxpayer dime. That’s right peons. You need to pay more taxes so more federal employees can take extravagant vacations while you sit at home in the dark eating Spam.

Former CNN exec still spreading crap. Bob Furnad, executive at CNN and CNN Headline News from 1984-2001, was caught on video depositing his dog’s poop in his neighbors’ mailbox. No word on whether he raised the flag signifying “Pickup” or left it down signifying “Delivery.”

San Francisco to rename street in honor of Nancy Pelosi. This will be the only street in San Francisco that you can only make left turns on.

EDITOR’S NOTE: If you’re going to name a street after Pelosi, shouldn’t it be Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world?

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) said on C-SPAN yesterday that President Obama’s presence at his gay wedding would be a party pooper. Oh, but it’s only because Obama will bring all those pesky Secret Service agents with him, you see. No worry, Barn, hire a few hookers and you’ll never know the SS was there.

U.S. lets China bypass Wall Street for Treasury bond orders. China can now buy U.S. government debt straight from the U.S. Treasury, in what is the Treasury’s first-ever direct relationship with a foreign government, says Reuters. Forget the UK, our “special relationship” now is with our new Sugar Daddy. Bet they’ll get the best seat at the fire sale when the day of forced liquidation arrives, too.

France’s Hollande steals show: Small wonder here. Stealing is what this man does best.

Catholic archdioceses of NY, Wash DC, sue Obama Admin for violation of 1st Amendment rights. Challenging the contraception mandate. “The lawsuit in no way challenges either women’s established legal right to obtain and use contraception or the right of employers to provide coverage for it if they so choose,” said Cardinal Wuerl. “This lawsuit is about religious freedom.” That damn hunnert-year-old constitution thingy again.

Karzai Thanks US for ‘Your Taxpayers’ Money’: Silly Karzai. There is no so such thing as ‘taxpayer money’. It is all government money. And Obama is just kind enough to let us keep some of it.

Mark Zuckerberg has good timing. He married Priscilla Chan on Saturday, one day after Facebook went public and made him a 19-billionaire. California being a community property state, if he married her one day earlier it would cost him $9.5 billion to divorce her. Good move financially, Mark, but you better sleep with one eye open… she looks a wee bit miffed.

Emmy winner Campbell Brown, formerly of CNN and NBC, rapped President Obama for being condescending toward women. Says Obama’s web ad, “The Life of Julia,” is “a silly and embarrassing caricature based on the assumption that women look to government at every meaningful phase of their lives for help.” Is Obama so devious, creepy and dishonest even non-conservatives are noticing? Could be.

Lovitz: Obama selling a “victim mentality.” “…a victim mentality is what he’s selling and nobody with a victim mentality will get anywhere. Ever. They will never succeed,” Lovitz said. Jon, unfortunately it’s what Obama does, it’s who he is.

Virtual Book Burning: Amazon Submits to Sharia Law in Europe. Fahrenheit 451 visits Amazon.

Clothing company should hire George Zimmerman as its spokesman. You’ve probably seen this police photo of George Zimmerman’s bloody head wounds several times in the last few days, but did you ever notice the brand name of the sweatshirt? Look closely at the name on the collar. Free Country. We’re not sure if this is irony or parody.

Report: ‘Fat Tax’ Could Curb Nation’s Obesity Problem: It is not as though there isn’t some precedent for this working. After all look at how they’ve taxed jobs, capital gains and -by proxy- our savings accounts. And all of those things have certainly been curbed!

Bill Maher wishes he had a son who acted like Trayvon Martin. “I just want to say if I had a son he would not look like Trayvon Martin, but I hope he would act like him,” said Maher… apparently admiring the way Trayvon stole jewelry, smoked pot, slapped bus drivers, got suspended from school repeatedly, and tried to kill a neighborhood watchman.

France’s answer to Anthony Weiner. France’s new Socialist Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault’s last name, pronounced properly in French, sounds like an Arabic slang word for penis. Yeah, but at least his first name isn’t Richard.

Biden doesn’t “blame people” for voting for a felon over Obama in WV. “A lot of people are still hurt because of this God awful recession that we inherited that cost 8.4 million jobs before we could get going. And so, I don’t blame people. They’re frustrated, they’re angry.” Not to mention the jobs lost after they got going. Here’s hoping come next January, they do get going… the further away, the better.
