I HATE THE MEDIA ™

On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge George Daniels said he planned to issue a ruling in the coming days declaring that Iran shares in the responsibility for the 9/11 terror attacks. Iranian intelligence agents “actively took part in developing a set of terrorist contingency plans.” Iran allowed “hijackers invisible passage to and from Afghanistan — without stamping their passports” enabling them to get US visas. Iran in cahoots with George W. Bush? This is gonna make some heads explode.

Oops! Whoopi Goldberg stuns The View panel as she passes wind on live television. Well, now we know what Whoopi and Barney Frank have in common besides being rabid libtards.

Heavy metal is back: the best cities for manufacturing. Rumors of the death of US manufacturing have been greatly exaggerated. Driving the upswing is a US energy revolution and better cost competitiveness compared with Asia. Concerns about the lack of intellectual property rights in China are also contributing. There are jobs but they are skilled jobs – there’s no shortage of English or art majors.

Congressmen can’t say ‘Merry Christmas’ in mail… if they want the mailing paid for with tax dollars. The congressional franking commission (not Barney, the bureaucrats who decide if mail can be paid for with tax dollars) has told members no holiday greetings, including “Merry Christmas” or “Happy New Year” are permitted. They can say “have a happy new year”, referencing the time period of a new year, but not the holiday. Senate franking regulations do allow Merry Christmas! We haven’t checked it out, but we imagine all of them can say BOHICA.

SEC charges ex-Fannie, Freddie CEOs with fraud. We suggest if convicted they be cellmates of Bernie Madoff. They can all take turns screwing each other, which is what they all love to do to us taxpayers.

NY Times CEO exiting at year end – no explanation, no successor named. The explanation is she’s running a dying business and nobody’s figured out how to monetize “journalistic content” profitably yet. But don’t cry for her, Argentina, she’s floating to earth on one of those golden parachutes that the NYT would be blistering if some other company paid it out to a failed CEO – not to mention the Times’ occupado pals.

Dem Senator who blasted MF Corzine at hearing was snubbed for campaign $$$. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) rightfully blasted MF Corzine at the hearing: “This isn’t the Dark Ages,” she lectured. “MF Global didn’t keep their books with feather quills and dusty ledgers.” Now, MF’s cronies are trying to mitigate criticism from a fellow Dem by accusing her of seeking revenge. Well MF, that may be true but you’re the one who lost the money, ain’t you?

Congress overturns incandescent light bulb ban. The dimbulbs in the nation’s capitol finally see the light.

Obama’s Watergate – Officials cover up culpability for gun smuggling and murder. Nobody died at Nixon’s Watergate. Holder lied, people died. Quite a few, in fact.

Saying Merry Christmas is worse than fornicating, drinking alcohol, or killing someone.

The EU has ruled that prunes do not have a laxative effect and producers cannot say that they do. “European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) experts said there was ‘insufficient’ evidence of a link between the dried plums and normal bowel function after looking at three studies of prune consumption.” Don’t laugh – laxitives are dangerous to bureaucrats with schit for brains.

Awful! Occupy Portland Keeps Volunteers From Picking Up Food for the Needy. The OWS movement has hit a new low. Too bad someone doesn’t give them all one-way tickets to North Korea so they can occupy Pyongyang.

MF Corzine served with lawsuit. CNBC’s Kayla Tausche said the suit is on behalf of a customer who had a $95 million MF Global account, filed in the Southern District of New York. Corzine served “the people” for years and now one of them is returning the favor.

Europe in Purgatory. Robert Samuelson: “…it’s obvious that adopting the euro was a colossal blunder. It may rank as Europe’s worst policy mistake since World War II. The virtues of the common currency – it reduced transaction costs and the uncertainty of fluctuating exchange rates among national monies – were temporary. Its vices seem permanent…” The single currency is a financial roach motel for Europe – they got in and now they can’t get out without great damage to themselves… and us.

Accused of corruption, Democratic state rep. uses slur to demean GOP governor. State Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton (D), the subject of TV investigative report alleging corruption, attacked state Rep. Nora Espinoza (R) as the source, accusing her of “carrying the Mexican’s water”, an allusion to New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R). Gosh, if the governor were a Democrat or the accused were a white guy, that kind of talk would be raaaaaacist!

Obama Admin Skews Deportation Figures. “The Obama Administration drastically inflated statistics to show that it has deported a record-high number of illegal immigrants with criminal records, according to federal data obtained by a nonprofit university group dedicated to researching the government. The new documents reveal the figure is actually at an all-time low and rapidly decreasing, leaving the Obama Administration with egg on its face just weeks after bragging about removing an unprecedented number of criminal aliens.” C’mon you haters! They were only off by 40% or so…

“I have seen apparent proof that the US (DOJ) Criminal Division, is working with UK police to pursue the leaker of the 2009 and 2011 Climategate emails.” Attorney Christopher Horner says DOJ sent a search-and-seizure letter to the host of three climate-change skeptic blogs. Sure, it’s criminal to unsettle settled science, especially when so many Obamunist cronies are making $$$ on it.

Tests show Obama crony LightSquared’s wireless internet interferes with flight safety systems as well as GPS. Well, no problem, bitter clingers will just have to get new GPS receivers and airlines can only fly near mountains pilots can see. Hey, what’s more important – one of Obama’s pals making billions broadband wireless internet for everyone or airliners not flying into moutains?

Get Your Free Government Cell Phone before Senator McCaskill kills the program! What does the good senator think she is doing? Can’t she see this program is a model of efficiency, operating as smoothly as all the other fine, fraud-free federal aid programs that help the needy? Come on Claire, have a heart! What kind of democrat are you?

IHTM Christmas Gift Suggestion. There’s only 10 more shopping days until (avert your eyes atheists) Christmas! Have a total libtard friend and you still don’t know what to get them for Christmas? We at IHTM have the answer! Chia Obama! Cha-cha-cha-chia!

Prof Exposes Himself, Labor Union Says, ‘You Can’t Fire Him,’ “The arbitrator’s decision is based on a line in the contract with the UNH Professor’s union. It says a professor has to show “morale delinquencies of a grave nature” to be fired.” Ummmm, if whipping out your wiener in a grocery store doesn’t meet that criteria then nothing will. We say fire the obviously brain-dead arbitrator and the professor.

Central planning at work: China’s deserted fake Disneyland. Construction stopped a decade ago and the farmers who once worked the land are starting to reclaim it. Building ghost cities and such gooses Chinese economic figures but is a massive waste of money and resources. Yet, useful idiots like Tom Friedman and Andy Stern think this is the way to go. Sure, if the destination is hell.

My time at Walmart: college student’s summer job reveals welfare fraud and abuse. Welfare recipients with iPhones. Recipients buying booze, toys and supplies for his hot dog stand with EBT cards. And this gem: “Governor Michael Dukakis’ signature was on his welfare card. Dukakis’ last gubernatorial term ended in January of 1991. I was born in June of 1991. The man had been on welfare my entire life.” And probably Dukakis’s entire life as well.

Teen in anger management class ‘stabbed classmate in the neck after fight over Dr Phil DVD.’ Sounds like it’s time to stop the head-shrinking. Just send her to a real prison. She’ll learn anger management real fast after she gets her butt kicked a few times.

Alabama teachers could receive jail time for accepting Christmas gifts from students. These educators main mistake was not being Obama cronies. Special friends of Barry can accept billions of dollars in tax-payer provided gifts.
