NYC paying disgraced teacher $100K per year for doing nothing. Removed from teaching duties in 2001 for lewd behavior, the city can’t fire him (not enough evidence), they don’t want him teaching and he won’t retire, so he does nothing and gets paid for it, while adding to his pension windfall to boot. Spends his “work” time managing his $10 million real estate portfolio. It’s for the children!

Obama campaign rolls out “square mobile fundraising platform.” Just Politico’s Orwellian way of saying every campaign worker is going to have a credit card reader. They’ll be ready whenever the spirit moves someone to join the borg. Or in case a bunch of credit cards fall off of one of Warren Buffett’s trucks or something.

Sen. Whitehouse To Introduce ‘Buffett Rule’ Bill To Raise Taxes On Millionaires Personally we’re getting tired of this so-called “Buffet Rule” and all the misnomers that accompany it. If Warren Buffet wants to pay more money than his secretary then he needs to fire his tax lawyer and fill out a W2 like everybody else. If Obama wants to make the rich “pay their fair share” then he needs to push for a ten percent across the board flat tax (or better yet no tax at all) for everyone while simultaneously angling for an end to all the tax payer billions he is funneling to his cronies and constituents. And if there is genuine concern for the hurt the middle class is feeling then the statists over at Think Pogrom need to support a system that doesn’t demand an escalation in our “contribution” brought about by all the tinkering, regulation and trickle down tax hikes that always seems to raise our cost of living almost as much as they raise the fortunes of Dear Leader’s BFF’s.

Iran web developer sentenced to death: Not to be outdone by the recent Internet power grabs, emanating from Washington, Iran has taken steps to assert their dominance in the arena of www dot asshatery. Dear Leader will no doubt see this latest provocation as a direct and personal insult. Steps to close the censorship gap will be sure to follow.

Magazine Calls Occupiers To Come To Chicago In ‘Tradition of’ 1968 Rioters. Some time after the ’68 Chicago Riots it was noted that the event was essentially a clash between members bourgeoisie and the proletariat. With the cops most decidedly belonging to the latter camp. In this way the Whiney-whine percent has already fulfilled that tradition. And if they get their way it won’t be so long before they fulfill those other hallmarks of their traditions. Namely using the power of the state to ensure even greater tax slave fealty to their corporatist system.

‘I’m going to destroy America and dig up Marilyn Monroe’: British pair arrested in U.S. on terror charges over Twitter jokes. If you joke about destroying America it is considered enough to have you arrested and deported to your country of origin. If you spend your entire adult life trying to actually attain the goal it is considered enough to be the DNC candidate for the Presidency.

Would you buy a used car from this man? Obama’s old car for sale on eBay for *cough* $1,000,000 *hack*. Sure pal, what do we look like to you, a Democrack member of congress or something? A 5000% markup on a 7-yr old car does sound like a fitting metaphor for the Obama years. Oddly enough, the article says there are no bids so far. Strange.

Obama’s requirement that Catholic organizations provide abortion, sterilization and contraception coverage for its employees and hospitals provide those services as part of their operations is meeting with strong opposition throughout the country. Obamacare stirs up another hornet’s nest, not to mention maybe more court challenges. The bitter clingers fight back!

Emails show AG Holder was informed of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder the day it happened. Holder’s chief of staff at the time was also told the guns that killed Terry were from Fast and Furious, but no one can confirm of deny that the AG himself was informed. Gee, most competent AGs would be curious about something like this, wouldn’t they? Well, we are talking about Holder here.

DeLong: The Federal Reserve Is Doing It Wrong … He Wants MORE Monetary Stimulus! At least this econ moron isn’t denying the oft forgotten fact that creating more money than there is wealth is the very recipe for inflation. Apparently, however, he doesn’t think that there hasn’t been enough of an increase in our cost of living over the last few years. Which leads us to believe that this DeLong fool is getting paid far too much for whatever it is that he really does.

Gingrich campaign to traveling press: Find your own damn ride. Perhaps it is time someone give this same advice to Michell Antoinette.

Critics of capitalism call global protest in June. Strangely enough these “critics of capitalism” probably can’t point to a single example of where that form of economy is being practiced. The global economic failure is theirs . . . and the result of their state control of our economic decisions. As well as their insistence of subsisting on our labor.

Hawaii may keep track of all Web sites visited: Remember when Hawaii gave us cool stuff like Don Ho and comfy shirts and Magnum PI? Lately is seems that one of our favorite 57 states is far more likely to be responsible for authoritarian Presidents and authoritarian laws. So aloha freedom. And by ‘aloha’ we mean the second definition provided by the dictionary.

Governor O’Malley wants to tax apps, e-books, other downloads. Perhaps it is time for a tax on stupidity. This O’Malley d-bag might not be able to to pay off the national debt all by his lonesome. But he could put a serious dent in it.

Pic Of Sleeping Sub Nets Student Suspension: Exposing government waste of taxpayer dollars? This kid deserves a medal. And the substitute a sacking.

Alleged comedian unhappy over Brewer-Obama tarmac incident, says a certain level of respect should be given to the office of the presidency. Yeah, the Hollywoodenheads were all over this when Bushitler was being portrayed as a chimp, right? Well, no, they were giving awards to movies fantascizing about his assassination. Funny word that “respect.”

Forget global warming, mini-ice age may be coming. New temperature data shows planet has not warmed for 15 years. The East Anglia climate science clowns say we don’t need the sun, greenhouse gases will keep us warm. We should believe them because of their excellent record on predictions thus far (insert derisive laughter here.)

CA air regulators adopted standards requiring 1 in 7 new cars sold there in 2025 to be an electric or other zero-emission vehicle. They’re hoping the Commerce Clause will enable President Michelle Obama to order would-be auto buyers into Volt showrooms at gunpoint. Failing that, the onus will be on govt agencies and contractors to buy more electrics when the public fails to cooperate.

George Soros says there ‘isn’t all that much difference’ between Romney and Obama. Psssssst….you’re a multi-billionaire, get some glasses spooky-dude.

Low IQ behind some conservative beliefs. To this we respond: duhhhh, uhhhhh, drooool.

Jeopardy contestants can’t identify MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. Guess they don’t watch the MSNBC cartoon channel, like just about everyone else in the country. Shocking.

Though her wealth is in eight figures, Elizabeth Warren says she’s not in the 1%. Yeah, Michael Moore, Obama, all the rich Hollywood celebutards, none of them are in the 1%. If Warren isn’t (update: SHE IS!) then who the hell is besides the Koch Brothers and Richard Mellon Scaife (remember him?) Isn’t it curious – no rich liberals are part of the 1%. And by “curious”, we mean “bull excrement.”

A “fanatical supporter” of President Obama is the prime suspect in an investigation into an Internet death threat against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Obama did urge his supporters to get in people’s faces and talked of bringing guns to knife fights, but this incident was undoubtedly provoked by Tea Partiers opposing Obamacare and Sarah Palin saying “target.”

Germany wants Greece to give up budget control. Yeah, that’ll work. Germany wants Greece to yield control of its budget “for a certain period of time” in return for a second 130 billion-euro bail-out package. Greece needs to strike a deal with creditors in the next few days or risk chaotic default. The can has just about run out of road to be kicked down.

Divider, not uniter: Obama’s 3rd year is the most polarized presidential 3rd year by a wide margin. Must be all that reach-across-the-aisle sweet talk of his. Stay tuned – a president’s 4th year is generally his worst in this regard.
