I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Obama has a Bush “door” moment in Bali. POTUS was unable to open the door to a conference room, Secret Service had to assist. Recall when Bush had door problems in China a few years ago, it was replayed endlessly in the media. In contrast, if you see this reported anywhere else, it would probably be on the side of a milk carton.

Saudi women with attractive eyes may be forced to cover them up. “Women in Saudi Arabia already have to wear a long black cloak, called an abaya, cover their hair and, in some regions, conceal their faces while in public. If they do not, they face punishments including fines and public floggings. They are also banned from driving by religious edict and cannot travel without authorisation from their male guardians.” All this to prevent women from being too “tempting”. Just how weak are these muslim perverts? Wouldn’t be easier to blindfold the men?

Obama USDA delays Ohio shale gas drilling (and nearly 200k jobs). “The move was taken in deference to environmentalists, on the pretext of studying the effects of hydraulic fracturing.” Appears Obama is more concerned about holding his enviro base than his union base.

Obama has the shakes. Here’s a hilarious clip from Aussie TV showing how Obama got a little over-exuberant upon his arrival in Australia, shaking hands with Australian Governor-General Quentin Bryce. And then shaking a bit more. And more. And more. All the while Prime Minister Ju-liar Gillard (as she’s known down under) stood there waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

The world’s most honest politician? Nigel Farage, Britain’s outspoken member of the European Parliament, has been standing up and speaking the truth for years and no one listened. They called him a fool. They called him a clown. They called him crazy. They should have been calling him prescient. (For those of you who have free government cell phones, that means he can see the future.) This video is 14 minutes long and every second of it is worth watching.

Obama’s illegal alien half-uncle argued in court today that his arrest on a drunken driving charge this summer violated his constitutional rights. He wants the evidence suppressed and the case thrown out. Uncle Omar, a liquor store clerk, said he committed no motor vehicle violations so the police had no right to stop him. The police say he nearly crashed into an unmarked police cruiser. Maybe the Commerce Clause says “almost” only counts in horseshoes or something.

Airline strands passengers, demands cash for fuel. “Hundreds of passengers traveling from India to Britain were stranded for six hours in Vienna when their Comtel Air flight stopped for fuel on Tuesday. The charter service asked them to kick in more than 20,000 pounds ($31,000) to fund the rest of the flight to Birmingham, England.” And you thought in-flight cocktails were expensive.

OWS Protesters Chant ‘Follow Those Kids!’ As Small Children Try To Go To School On Wall Street. So where is Big Brother Obama and Holder company? We’re constantly told that we have to give up liberty and property -and pieces of the pie- in order to satisfy some vague and poorly articulated threats that might apply to some children somewhere. But let the Flea Baggers go out and actually harass school children and there is nary a word out of the self-righteous nanny-staters.

Hedge Fund ceases operation saying “Jon Corzine STOLE the customer cash at MF Global.” “The futures and options markets are no longer viable. The entire system has been utterly destroyed by the MF Global collapse.” Marxist mission accomplished!

Terrorist Bill Ayers recently gave a “teach in” talking on the topic, amongst other things, of “non-violent” revolution. But like Dylan said, it doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. And Ayer’s wind is blowing in the direction of an authoritarian system that takes all an individual can produce while rewarding them with nothing other than misery and fealty to the state. And systems like that don’t come around without sufficient violence to keep the serfs in their place.

CBO on the Stimulus: “A net negative effect on the growth of GDP over 10 years.” Investments that lose prodigious amounts of money, economic stimulants that depress the economy, what’ll we find out next, that their healthcare plan kills people? Ooops.

The Daily Show explores Occupy Wall St.’s class structure. As John “$400 haircut” Edwards might’ve said, there are two Occupy Wall Streets – one with noses in the air (the hipsters) and one without (the ghetto.) Listen to the genius (around 4:20 in the video) explain the difference between “personal property” (which he’s for) and “private property” (which he’s against.) More nuance you haven’t seen since Michael Moore explained why a multi-millionaire like hisself is one of the 99 percent.

Glendale Cal. bans fake grass on front lawns. No astroturf! At least, not the kind one puts on lawns – Axelrod’s version is for the public good, ya know. Why just front lawns and not backyards? Here’s the city’s answer: [sound of crickets chirping.]

Occupy San Diego Has A Moment of Solidarity for the White House Shooter…Wait, What? Yup, another shining example of an OWS genius. This guy could be the next Michael Moore if he can manage to gain a few hundred pounds.

“Patriotic millionaires” demand higher taxes, but unwilling to pay up. Why higher taxes? Theory: to guarantee a continued flow of gubbermint moola to their businesses and investments. They kick in a hundred thou in higher taxes in return for billions in gubbermint contracts. Voluntary contributions are NFG to them as only a few will kick in, not enough to keep the gubbermint spigot open full bore.

Energy Secretary Chu takes full responsibility for Solyndra. “As the Secretary of Energy, the final decisions on Solyndra were mine, and I made them with the best interest of the taxpayer in mind.” The “taxpayer” he must’ve had in mind was Obama bundler George Kaiser who got a loan at the best interest rate.

High school sex ‘machine.’ Yes, we have another teacher with a problem. Will Penn State send him an application? If you have kids in school be afraid, very afraid.

Math teacher’s sells grades for cash: “All students had to do was staple the cash to the test or quiz they wanted Spires to amend, according to the report.” Talk about grading on the scale. We won’t judge – teach is just doing what the Obama Administration and a large fraction of Congress are doing. Gimme $50 for an “A” an call it an “investment.”

Julia Gillard, Aussie Prime Minister, demonstrates the meaning of the phrase “going down under”. It could have been worse. She could have bowed to Obama. But, no, that’s a sign of subservience that liberals usually reserve for tinhorn despots.

80 is the new 65 when it comes to retirement, survey says. Working till we’re 80 so Obama can have enough money to buy votes and pay back political cronies . . . and he has the nerve to call us lazy?

Ford Unleashes a 200 MPH Mustang. Just when you thought the entire world was out to lunch Ford comes through with some truly excellent news. Guess we won’t be buying that smart car after all.

Teacher Arrested For Masturbating In Front Of Class. First we get a Penn State coach in the shower naked with a 10 year old boy, then we get a teacher in Nevada sending students home to masturbate for homework and now we get one wanking it behind the podium in while class is in session. At least someone had enough brains to fire this perv. We certainly do wonder WTF is wrong with teachers nowadays.

It is funny. Call the ownership of one man’s labor by another slavery and we all instinctively know it is bad. Call it communism and all of a sudden people are holding teach-in’s and demanding the extinction of our rights.

Billionaire Buffett’s Bakken Boom. It seems that saying the rich get richer is indeed true. Especially if you’re one of Obama’s good buddies. Pipeline bad – train good.

Vatican slams Benetton ‘unhate’ campaign. “Clothing firm Benetton has been heavily criticised by the Vatican for using an image of Pope Benedict kissing an imam on the mouth in its latest shock advertising campaign.” The Pope is ANGRY! Barry, not so much.
