I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Gallup: Employer-based health insurance continues to trend down. “Governments and businesses have and will continue to cut back and/or reform their health coverage offerings to handle tough economic circumstances, rising healthcare costs, and requirements of the Affordable Care Act.” If you like your health insurance, you can try and keep it! Thank the three stooges, Barry, Nancy and Harry.

Army sued for $750M over Fort Hood tragedy. 83 victims and family members are suing,alleging that willful negligence enabled psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan to carry out a terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Texas. Claims government “bowed to political correctness and not only ignored the threat Hasan presented but actually promoted him to the rank of major five months before the massacre.” Speaking truth to cowards.

Siga Technologies, a company controlled by Dem donor and billionaire Ronald O. Perelman, has gotten a no-bid contract to supply an unproven experimental smallpox remedy that may not even work. It’s a Solyndra with test tubes! But, to paraphrase what the lying-hypocrticial-fraud in chief once said, sooner or later you’ve made enough money – unless you’re a major Democrat donor, that is.

Hate mongers torch cars, scrawl swastikas on Orthodox block in Brooklyn. It’s not really hate if it’s against the Jews… right?

State Rep. Womick (R-TN) calls for purging military of Muslim Americans

A National Debt Of $14 Trillion? Try $211 Trillion. Scary isn’t it? It’s even more scary because this is from National Pravda Radio (NPR). Evidently they’re not covering for Obama or Congress anymore. (and yes we know it’s from August).

Unions unhappy with Obama for XL pipeline delay. Voting “present” has its rewards. Union leader: “We had hoped the decision would have been made on the basis of economics, facts and the best interests of the nation, not on the basis of a political calculation.” Get a clue, guys – Barack Obama decides based on the best interests of number one, himself. As the late Frank Zappa said, “you ain’t even number two.”

Occupy Wall St now has an “anthem”! “Our canvas is freedom/ Your blood is our paint” and “But it will be late/ And long out of fashion/ Strung up you’ll bleed/ Like the pig you became/ A symbol of hatred/ And one with no name/ And our country will come back.” Music to sh*t in the street by. Memo to Barack Obama: have we got a campaign theme song for you!

Big Hollywood presents photos of Michael Moore’s Michigan vacation mansion. “The fact is that Moore is so wealthy that he does not need to worry about his income. According to public tax records, Moore owns a massive vacation home on Torch Lake, Michigan–one of the most elite communities in the United States–in addition to his posh Manhattan residence.” Yeah, all us 99 per-cent members do well. More photos at the link – embrace the lying, manipulative hypocrisy.

Chevy Volt catches fire weeks after crash, prompting closer look at safety. The NHTSA put the Volt thru a 20 mph side-impact test to see if it deserved a 5-star crash safety rating. The results? Can we get a mulligan here? “The crash punctured the Volt’s lithium-ion battery, and after more than three weeks of sitting outside, the vehicle and several cars around it caught fire.” Unsafe at any speed, including zero. It’s the vehicular version of socialism.

We would like to thank all those that have sacrificed so much to keep our country free.

Jay-Z Selling Occupy Wall Street T-Shirts; No Plans to Share Profits With Protestors: And why should he? Did they invent the notion of putting a political slogan on a t-shirt and selling it? Did they pay for the production of these shirts? Did they pay for the distribution of these shirts? Are they in danger of losing any capital invested in the creation, production, marketing and distribution of these items if they fail to sell? No. And so we would like to give a plus 1 to Jay-Z. Capitalism is full of win!

A federal court ruled that Live Oak has the right to restrict a student’s free speech when it is likely to cause a substantial disruption. Yeah kids, next time try burning the shirts instead of wearing them. Or better yet come to school with a crucifix suspended in a jar of urine. Your freedom of speech rights are sure to be protected then.

It appears Hollywood is attempting to re-write history . . . again: This go around it is with a movie called Margin Call, which purports to capture events leading up to the financial crisis of 2008. A quick scan at IMdB reveals that no actors were cast to play Barney Frank or Chris Dodd, so right away you know that the majority of the story will not be told. It also seems pretty safe to assume that there will be no mention of the Community Reinvestment Act or all the other government actions that created the crises by forcing money to be given to predatory borrowers that lived high off our dime and are now expecting us to further bail them out. But hey, why spoil a politically convenient narrative with something complex and messy like the truth?

8 reasons why Italy is such a mess. One big one is “Italy has more pensioners than workers and currently spends about 14 percent of GDP on pensions — more than any other country in the OECD.” As Robert Fulford said, “I have seen the future and it doesn’t work.”

OWS protesters coming down with the “Zuccotti Lung”. “That’s what demonstrators are calling the sickness that seems to be spreading among them at an unpleasantly high rate these days.” If one of OWS’s “goals” was to turn NYC into a third-world nation, mission accomplished! And think about what one OWSer said: “We’re the biggest tourist attraction in New York, and we shake everyone’s hands.”

Eurozone debt jitters creeping into French bonds. France is the continent’s No. 2 economy after Germany. If France goes, game over.

Man shot and killed near Occupy Oakland. “The person on the ground was not part of the occupation. I can verify that,” Shake Anderson, an Occupy Oakland organizer told AP. “This is a street incident. It happens all the time.” Yeah, the dead guy wasn’t on the official guest list. Must’ve been a party crasher. OO is celebrating its one-month birthday, ya know. Whoo, whoo!

Eric Holder called ‘cold-hearted’ for sharing apology letter with press before slain Border Patrol agent’s family. “Either Holder never sent his “private letter,” or the Justice Department leaked it to Politico before the Terry family received it.” Real classy Eric. First refuse to apologize, then this.

Nixon’s Secret Watergate Testimony Released To Public: Nixon’s biggest mistake was acting like a Democrat without actually being one. Had he been a Democrat then Watergate would have been the least of the crimes he could have gotten away with. Crimes like selling ICBM tech to the Chinese in exchange for a campaign contribution; stealing billions from the tax-payers to pay off political cronies with; and killing Americans by giving guns to Mexican drug lords.

#occupy sanatorium: Tuberculosis breaks out at Occupy Atlanta’s base. “The Fulton County Health Department confirmed Wednesday that residents at the homeless shelter where protesters have been occupying have contracted the drug-resistant disease.” Yep, capitalism is unfair to infectious diseases, doncha know.

Disgraced Penn St coach Sandusky wrote biography, published in 2001: “Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story.” “‘Touched’ is the story of Jerry Sandusky’s life in his own words. From his childhood to his professional career, this book goes behind the scenes to explore the successes and challenges that Jerry Sandusky has faced in life, both on and off the football field. After graduating from Penn State in 1966, Sandusky went on to coach collegiate football for 34 years. Thirty-two of those years were with Penn State, as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach under Joe Paterno, until his retirement in 1999. The book also explores Sandusky’s involvement in children’s charities, including the founding of his charity, ‘Second Mile.'” We couldn’t make stuff like this up if we tried.

SEIU siphons ‘dues’ from Michigan Medicaid payments. “If you’re a parent who accepts Medicaid payments from the State of Michigan to help support your mentally-disabled adult children, you qualify as a state employee for the purposes of the Service Employees Intl Union (SEIU).” Why? Because you’re a caregiver. “This allows the SEIU to deduct union dues from your Medicaid payment!” Yep, the Democrat Party lives to serve the public… over easy on toast to their cronies.

“Star Wars” actress Carrie Fisher, on a date with former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) in 1985, claims the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) asked her “do you think you’ll be having sex with Chris at the end of your date?” She said Kennedy also asked her “Would you have sex with Chris in a hot tub?” No word on whether Kennedy asked her if she would have sex with the Sweetheart of Countrywide in an Oldsmobile. Where’s Gloria Allred when you need her?

Bernanke holds town hall meeting. “I’m not a believer in the Old Testament theory of business cycles. I think that if we can help people, we need to help people and that’s why the Federal Reserve is, again, trying to do what we can to get the economy back on track. And we have made some progress, though we are still far from where we would like to be.”: Obviously Bernanke is anticipating a second career as a stand up comedian. Too bad he couldn’t have also anticipated that creating money out of nowhere was going to gut the value of the dollar and further tank the economy.
