Medal of Honor recipient recalls deadly ambush. Unlike the usual fare of miscreants, we have someone to be proud of for a change. Everyone should watch the interview with a real American hero. Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota Meyer, USMC. We at IHTM salute you sir!

CBC Head Cleaver: we’d be marching or something if the failure in the WH weren’t black. “If Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching… ” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO.) “There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.” We admit we don’t like Obama but it’s because he’s an incompetent, narcissistic, corrupt Chicago pol who’s made all our problems worse, not because he’s black. We did no less when Jimmy Carter was the failure du jour. Not judging a comic book by its cover is the new racism.
Obama White House “Hostile Workplace for Women.” That was quote was from Anita Dunn, a former Obama communications director. And here’s Christina Romer: “I felt like a piece of meat.” We knew Michelle harassed Barry, but didn’t know it extended to the women in the White House.
Obama Wants $1.5 Trillion in New Taxes. Wow! More original ideas from Barry! Increase taxes! Another stimulus package! What’s the definition of insane?
‘I Do Have a Twitter Account. But I Will Use It Fully Clothed.’ Newly sworn-in Republican Rep. Bob Turner and his wife are worried about “weiner residue” and are having his office sanitized. This may be a first in the history of Congress. I wonder if George W. Bush had the oval office sanitized?
Hundreds of villagers in eastern China have held three days of protests at a solar panel plant over pollution fears. Remember the good ole days when green energy was clean and non-polluting? Neither do we… “One 64-year-old villager told the Associated Press that the factory – located close to a school and kindergarten – discharges waste into the river and spews dense smoke out of a dozen chimneys.” Paging Erin Brockovich! How do you say “Earth Day” in Chinese?
No unifying theme to Day of Rage: half the protesters wanted more taxes and more of a welfare state, while the other half wanted to “Decentralize everything.” The protesters agree they all want to blow up capitalism, but can’t make up their minds which side they want the rubble to fall on. A stimulus-sized failure, but it’s not a total loss; we think the woman with the “Dump Obama” poster definitely has talent and a bright future.
Greens Give Gore 2 Thumbs Down: Gore’s climate ‘reality’ show faces strongly negative reviews from his fellow global warming activists. After the Gore-a-thon it looks like the Reverend Al is about as popular with his flock as Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker were.
Why Obama should withdraw. It’s pretty damning when a liberal paper like the Chicago Tribune in the Democrat bastion of Chicago, Obama’s home town, tells the President to step down and not run for reelection. Proof even the Democrats are wising up that the future could be very ugly if he gets reelected.
Rahm Emanuel on Solyndra: ‘I don’t remember.’ Let the memory lapses begin! Want to bet how many people from the Obama administration besides Rahm develop sudden Alzheimer’s syndrome?
Occupy Wall St. March Video of the anticapitalist march on Wall Street. “A people, united, will never… Oops. Hold on, my iPhone is ringing…”
The Solyndra scandal… has all the elements of a Chicago City Hall story, except with more zeros. More zeros, including the president and his whole bottom feeding crew. “When the government picks winners and losers, who’s the loser? Just look in the mirror, hold that thought, and tell me later.” Heh. Change for the worse you can believe in.
Geithner’s “succinct” message irks Europeans. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s high-profile trip to Europe left some European officials more dumbstruck than starstruck. I guess Geithner’s Powerpoint presentation on “How TurboTax can save you DollarZ!” didn’t go over so well – Neither did his suggestion that they tap into their 440 billion euro European Financial Stability bailout fund. No one is taking his advice… why are we?
Police: Roommates argued over iPod before fatal stabbing. The value of a life? Apparently a song.
UK hires extra tax collectors to police super-rich. As the U.K. tightens its belt during economic uncertainty, a senior government official said Sunday he was hiring more than 2,000 extra tax inspectors to make sure that Britain’s wealthiest feel the squeeze. Coming to a town near you. Create jobs AND reduce the deficit… at least until we run out of other people’s money. “In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.” Confucius
Reform of Egypt’s police hits a wall: The police. A gang that broke out of prison during the revolution was killing people and robbing merchants in the town of Abu Teeg. So the chief of detectives gave his officers their orders: Do nothing. “The revolution let them out, so let the people have a taste of their revolution” Who said anarchy wouldn’t be fun!
American taxpayers could be forced to foot the bill if Fed’s bailout of faltering Eurozone turns sour. The biggest exposure could come from America’s status as the single largest source of money for the International Monetary Fund. Like Solyndra, if the loans aren’t paid back, guess who gets stuck for the money? Of course, the US taxpayers.
Barone: Obama acts as America’s “shop steward in chief.” Obama’s partiality to unions is apparently rooted in a conviction that we would be better off if every employee were represented by a union. Unions are Obama’s and the Democrats’ economic dictatorship by proxy. In a fully-unionized America, business would require tacit Democrat approval on all decisions or risk crippling work stoppages until they toed the line. Boeing was the first step on the road to the liberal fascist “utopia.” Wonder if the facility in New Zealand that built John Kerry’s yacht, “Isabel”, was unionized…
A 54-year-old carpenter in Wantage, England, accidentally cut off his own penis while working with a saw, his mother says. We suspect he’s been on the NHS vasectomy waiting list for a couple of decades and finally decided to take matters into his own hands. Unless he’s simply the Barack Obama of carpentry.
The best damn article you’ll ever read about George W. Bush. Walt Harrington is a writer – a Democrat – who was given extraordinary access to both presidents Bush. His insights and opinions may surprise you and shock other Democrats.
Obama admin reworked Solyndra loan to favor donor. Administration officials defended the loan restructuring, saying that without an infusion of cash earlier this year, solar panel maker Solyndra Inc. would likely have faced immediate bankruptcy, putting more than 1,000 people out of work. So, doing this to save 1,000 jobs for such a short time was smart?
Don Surber: Obama’s West Virginia lapel pin looks like the Boo Berry mascot. Perhaps their way of saying they don’t have a ghost of a chance of carrying this state next year.
Obama and the Democrats claim state voter ID laws discriminate against Hispanics, but a poll of those voters in 3 key electoral states show strong support for such laws. As always with the Democrats, it’s not about what the people want, it’s about what the Democrats want to give them. And what the Democrats want to give them is an easy way for the Democrats to use them to steal elections. When they talk, it’s for “the people” but when they act, it’s for them.
Finally it can be revealed! The lost Solyndra grant proposal. At first we didn’t know if this thing was for real. But as it is on Youtube we’re pretty sure that it is.
Huffpo upset: States Struggle For Money, Political Will To Fix America’s Failing Roads. Of course this begs the classic question . . . if they couldn’t be trusted to fix the roads with the first several trillion dollars they took from us why should they be trusted with more?
