I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Obama’s Tammany-on-the-Potomac.“This is the connecting thread of the Obama administration’s major policy decisions: the clients come first. If there is room for the public interest after they have been taken care of, great. If not, so what?” Any similarity between the Obama Administration and Tammany Hall, Boss Tweed’s 19th century corrupt political machine based on patronage and graft is not-at-all surprising.

Obama/Volt 2012! What better way to celebrate the massive success of the Chevy Volt than by having this beautiful piece of machinery as President Obama’s running mate in 2012? We’re sold. On the Volt replacing Biden thing, that is, not on the car itself.

Wooly mammoth filmed in Siberia
WITH chewy bigfoot-style footage! …and in unrelated news, there are straight lines that are impossible to pass up, and there are straight lines that are definitely impossible to pass up that involve someone’s vacation plans.

Ex-Shell Oil Exec: Who’s up for some $5 gas this year? Maybe us. He attributes it to some esoterica about “supply and demand” or something. Our unicorns tell us it’s all raaaaacist propaganda. We do expect renewed calls for a “People’s Profit Board” from the usual gang of idiots.

Rand Paul question to Obama: “Do you hate all rich people or just those who aren’t campaign contributors?” “Do you hate poor people or just poor people with jobs?” Well, we suspect ZerO dislikes everyone, rich or not, who don’t support his campaign. Note: In the video, it takes about 15 secs for the sound to emerge so don’t turn up the volume too high if you’re one of the shrinking pool of folks who haven’t fallen out of the labor force yet.

White House to announce ‘accommodation’ for religious organizations on Contraception Rule. A non-accomodating accomodation, so to speak. Even ABC says “The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders…” We hope Barry sticks to his guns. He’s finally shining a light on all the Marx scribbled on the blank slate the country elected.

As has been noted on the interwebs it takes a lot of hubris to pass yourself off as a populist deriding corporate influence and greed when a company -bailed out with taxpayer looted funds- has just handed you the most expensive campaign commercial in the history of the universe.

Warren Buffett: Baptist and Bootlegger. It would seem that the taxpayer and his money are soon parted . . . with no insignificant amount of the plunder going to Warren Buffet.

The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows. Somebody call Al Sharpton. This study is racist!

“How can you deny that man made global warming is real when 97 percent of climate scientists agree that it is true?” It’s easy when you understand where the 97% number comes from. For one thing, the survey on which it was based was sent to over 10,000 scientists, but only 3,100 responded. The 97% is addressing the 3,100 who answered, not the other 7,000 who didn’t give a crap. Somehow the AGW cultists didn’t feel the need to mention that.

Time to pay the piper: Phone companies to increase your bill to pay for free government cell phone scam. Stevie Wonder could have seen this one coming. AT&T has announced that it’s raising the Universal Service Fee on its customers’ phone bills to pay for the free government cell phone and cheap internet scam. As one of the OWS signs said, “Everything free for everyone.” Except you.

Majorities of liberal Democrats now support drone strikes, keeping Gitmo open. Remember all their sturm und drang about these issues during the Bush years? Neither do they. “It’s as if all that international-law, humanitarian, have-you-no-decency crap was just… crap. And partisan crap at that.” Pretty much.

White House struggling to contain the growing uproar over its birth-control mandate as numerous prominent Democrats voice criticism. But the Big “0” is digging in his heels on the matter according to some Democrats who attended a closed-to-the-media retreat (story here). “Hey, I won!” Room for a few more under the bus….

Dependency Index Surges 23% Under President Obama. Gotta make sure there’s more Obama voters in the next election since many who voted for him last time aren’t too happy with him now.

NY Times’ “angel” investor drops by Obama White House for chat, news not fit for Times to print. Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, who’s worth an estimated $63 billion and owns 7% of the New York Times, held a series of closed-door meetings with senior Obama officials. You’d never know it from reading the Times. Well, he’s only worth $63 billion so he’s not part of the one percent. Nothing to see here.

“Occupy DC” is planning to disrupt the upcoming CPAC using potentially illegal tactics that could include violence against participants.“Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted,” said a source. The bloom is off the poop, so to speak. Now that most of the overindebted college kids have gone home, all that’s left are the street thugs. Can’t wait to hear Obama and his fellow demogags (sic) condemn the lack of civility.

Germany awash in AGW skepticism after release of new book. A book co-authored by one of the fathers of Germany’s modern green movement, Professor Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, concludes scientists exaggerated the impact of CO2 on climate. Key takeaway: the big yellow thing in the sky MATTERS! Embrace the decline, suckas. Wonder if the NY Times will find this fit to print? Kidding.

Lies and calculated misdirection for Santorum over at ‘theweek.com’
1. Opposing birth control
Quote: “One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country…. Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.” (Speaking with CaffeinatedThoughts.com, Oct. 18, 2011)

Over-Reaction: This is “pretty basic: Rick Santorum is coming for your contraception,” says Irin Carmon at Salon. “Any and all of it.” Threatening to “send the condom police into America’s bedrooms” is pretty bad politics: More than 99 percent of sexually active women have used some form of birth control, and “helping people get access to birth control is actually a popular issue,” supported by 82 percent of Americans. But a national contraception ban is “clearly the world Santorum wants.”

Ma’am Boxer defends Obama Catholic contraception mandate – justified because “It can cost $600 a year for prescription contraceptives.” Yeah, and what does an iPhone data plan or cable TV cost? How about a really bad cocaine habit? Should the Catholic chruch pay for them, too? Ummm, Boxer is a Kleptocrat so we guess we know the answer to that. Forget we asked.

UK girls as young as 13 have been fitted with contraceptive implants at school without their parents knowing. One parent claims family doctors were not consulted, either. Just sit down, shut up and do what your Nanny State tells you to do.

Chris Tingles finds Obama’s mandates to church “frightening.” Matthews goes from tingling in the leg to peeing in the pants… Now you know what the rest of us are pissed about, doofus.

Iowa City police seek public’s help in capturing armed robber who made off with $250 “Mega Masturbator” sex toy. When they get it back, they’ll probably wish they hadn’t. And, as one of the commenters asked, “Doesn’t Obamacare guarantee him a FREE Mega Masturbator?” No, but Obamacare is the handiwork of a bunch of them.

BBC to staff: don’t call al-Qaeda preacher an “extremist”. That sounds too much like a “value judgment” and everybody knows the BBC doesn’t have values. Oh, by they way, they don’t want staff using old photos that make him look fat, either, because he’s “lost a lot of weight.” No wonder the terrorists don’t hire public relations firms – they have the BBC for free!

You knew it was coming: all whites are raaaaacist. The ironically-named UnfairCampaign.org is putting up these billboards in some Minnesota cities “to encourage a community dialogue about the causes and solutions” (translation: guilt you into giving them money.) We would suggest it’s hard to NOT see racism when you’re a manipulative fraud who profits from it. Or you work for the Obama campaign.

Climate scientist: Europe’s really coooold winter is caused by Global Warming! Reminds us of an old joke: a salesman was going door to door selling alligator repellent. “Don’t try to con me,” one lady who answered the door said, “There’s no alligators in Montana!” “See, it’s working already,” said the con man, “That’ll be $12.95!” Hey, betcha Global Warming causes lower unemployment rates as well as folks leaving the work force.
