Germany discovers solar energy’s design flaw: no sunshine, no power. “Solar farm operators and homeowners with solar panels on their roofs collected more than €8 billion ($10.2 billion) in subsidies in 2011, but the electricity they generated made up only about 3 percent of the total power supply, and that at unpredictable times.” Well, we can fix that – anybody got a really big candle?

President Barack Obama sent President Karzai a letter to apologize for the incident in which copies of the Holy Quran were burnt in Bagram military base. Hey, he shoulda just passed the buck to their health insurance companies like he does when he insults a religion over here.

Hillary Clinton is now secretary of “job creation”. SoS Clinton invited U.S. companies to call on State Dept “experts” for help on exports, intellectual property and investment issues, part of a new administration effort to promote domestic jobs. Yep, politicians will do anything to create jobs except the thing that will actually create jobs, getting themselves the hell out of the way of businesses that create jobs.

Gasoline prices are not rising, the dollar is falling. Welcome back, Carter! All that money-printing Helicopter Ben has been doing is having an effect: stagflation. “Right now, the threat posed by rising gasoline prices is not just to family budgets. An even greater danger is that the government will use escalating oil prices as an excuse to do something stupid.” They don’t need a stinking excuse.

Is Harrisburg’s nightmare America’s future? Politicians should be required by law to use the George Costanza method of decision making: take whatever one’s first impulse is and do the exact opposite. Especially when there’s money involved.

Former DNC chair ED Rendell is teaming with a NJ Dem Party boss and others to purchase the Philadelphia Inquirer. Why buy the cow when you’re getting the milk for free? Hamburgers.

Tesla Motors’ design flaw: $100K car may turn into a $100K brick. “If the battery is ever totally discharged, the owner is left with what Tesla describes as a “brick”: a completely immobile vehicle that cannot be started or even pushed down the street. The only known remedy is for the owner to pay Tesla approximately $40,000 to replace the entire battery.” Well, at least they don’t catch fire three weeks later…. None that we’ve heard about, anyway.

Florida drivers shelling out nearly $6 a gallon at some gas stations. Gotta be (Jeb) Bush’s fault.

Chris Christie: Warren “Tax Me” Buffett should just write a check and shut up. Yeah, but what Warren and the rest of the “patriotic millionaires” don’t tell you is that they profit when everyone’s taxes go up. They’re happy to personally write a check for 10% more in that scenario because the gubbermint spending machine will throw that and a lot more back to them. But if they are the only ones writing the checks…. what’s the point?

UK 50% top tax rate results in lower revenue. Seems the UK’s raaaaacists capitalists are expending more effort avoiding taxes (like docking their yachts in “Road Island”?) instead of making money. Who knew? Well, Obama did. In 2008, he said it wasn’t about revenue, it was about “fairness”. Class warriors don’t care if everybody gets poorer as long as nobody gets richer.

The DOW passed 13,000 ! YAY! or maybe not… “…it is entirely due to the nearly $7 trillion pumped by global central banks into the world stock markets just in the past 4 years.” Funny money = funny stocks. No one is laughing.

White House apologizes for Koran burnings. No word yet on when the White House plans to apologize for the Bibles that US Military leaders burned after confiscating them in the same country.

OWS letter to the editor in USA Today: we will storm Wall Street with guns. But it will likely be a largely peaceful murderous rampage, so we’ve been told. Krugman, Froma Halfwit and the rest of the MSM Civility Patrol are likely banging out their condemnations as we speak. Stop laughing.

OBAMA WANTS TO STOP ARRESTING ILLEGAL ALIENS. Viva Obama! Voto para Obama!

Mother of suspect in killing of Berkeley man says son has mental problems. Actually the headline should be OWS gets it’s first kill. Were it not for them tying up the Berkeley PD this may have never happened. “At that time, available officers were being reconfigured in order to monitor a (Occupy Oakland) protest which was to come into Berkeley from Oakland in the next hour,” Greenwood said. “Only criminal, in-progress emergency calls were to be dispatched, due to the reduction in officers available to handle calls for service.”

Joe Biden’s off to ‘Road Island’ after White House spelling gaffe. Sure, one of the original 57 colonies. Duh.

Regardless of what the government reports, Gallup’s unemployment and underemployment measures show a sharp deterioration in job market conditions since mid-January. Obama’s policies are turning the economy around…. and around and around and around….

Magic Johnson launches new TV network. The new channel is called “Aspire.” A better name would be “Conspire” since it’s the direct result of Maxine Waters and Eric Holder strong-arming Comcast into giving Magic and 9 other “minorities” their own networks. What’s next, a New Black Panthers channel called “Bludgeon?”

Let’s play “find the BOOGER!” Hillary Clinton dons lime green shirt for G20 ‘family photo’ while everyone else wears white

Top 12 reasons to vote Democrat. We’re deviating from the norm as this is too good to not post. Unknown author, but we’d sure like to know the person who came up with it.

“When your family or friends cannot explain why they voted democrat, give them this list and they can pick a reason from this “TOP 12”.

12.  I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

11.  I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

10.  I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

9.  I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

8.  I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius.

7.  I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

6.  I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the social security from those who paid into it.

5.  I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.

4.  I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

3.  I voted Democrat because I think that it’s better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.

2.  I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world, I was promised “HOPE AND CHANGE”.

And, finally, the No. 1 reason to vote Democrat:

1.  I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rectal cavity, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.”

Soldiers don fake belly, breasts to better understand pregnant troops’ exercise concerns. It’s part of a program to train NCOs to lead exercises for pregnant soldiers, in case you were wondering. We certainly were.

Jobless disability claims soar to record $200B as of January. “The jump in successful disability claims also is making the unemployment picture look extra rosy because those folks are falling off the jobless rolls.” Unexpectedly, the bloodhounds in the MSM failed to notice.

PPP poll shows Bush 43 at 45/46 while Obama at 46/49. “Sure, the numbers fall within the margin of error. But what a difference 3 years make. The longer Barack Obama is president, the better George Walker Bush looks.” The longer Barack Obama is president, the better Mickey Mouse looks.

Why we honor George Washington. “George Washington was the man who established the American republic. He led the revolutionary army against the British Empire, he served as the first president, and most importantly he stepped down from power.” That last one is astonishing, espeically considering the pants-load of self-righteous statists and do-gooding crypto-fascists we have today. Please God, send us more George Washingtons! BTW, his actual birthday is Feb 22.

Jeremy Lin ESPN racial slur blasted by Congressperson Judy Chu. Yeah we think it is disgusting too. But perhaps the honorable congressperson should be more concerned with halting this countries slide into despotism and economic meltdown than she is with some idiot without sense enough to engage in polite headline writing.
