I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Solyndragate: Emails provide new clues as to how much White House knew, and when. But that might not be the worst news for Dear Leader. With his liberal friends in the media reporting these things it is clear that the rats know something the sinking ship might not.

GE to Buy Back Shares From Buffett. No word yet on when the American taxpayer can expect his reimbursement.

For decades, the U.S. Census Bureau has reported that over 30 million Americans were living in “poverty,” but the bureau’s definition of it differs widely from that held by most Americans.“The overwhelming majority of the poor have air conditioning, cable TV, and a host of other modern amenities. They are well housed, have an adequate and reasonably steady supply of food, and have met their other basic needs, including medical care.” Well, poverty really isn’t the problem, electing liberals and justifying their redistribution of wealth to their favorite interest groups is.

PSA for Rich to Pay More Taxes! It’s about time those evil fat cats get what’s coming to them!

San Francisco legislates bird-safe buildings. “The proposed legislation would require builders to install treated windows on any new construction determined to pose a great risk to birds.” We figured they would require all the windows to be removed so the birds could just fly straight thru the buildings. From the comments: “How about bird-safe windmills?”

Laughter erupts when Carney tries to defend Obama’s constant self-promotion as “campaigning for growth and jobs.” If you watch Carney’s face at around the 50 second mark, he hestitates and appears to be attempting to stifle a grin before he utters the line. The man himself obviously does not believe the crap he is saying.

American Muslims speak out against the enforcement of shari‘ah law in America. “Islamic Coalition announces support for Michigan legislation that will bar state courts from enforcing ‘foreign law’ above U.S. and state constitution.” Wait. We need legislation to prevent this from happening?

Record 46.2 million Americans live in poverty, Census Bureau says. Obama sets another record!  The largest number of people living in poverty since record-keeping began 52 years ago, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. So, will Obama celebrate with another round of golf or another vacation?

Cuba to drill six oil wells off Florida coast. Here’s more of the Obama American Jobs Act. Shut down our oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico that employ American workers, then let the communist countries of Cuba, Venezuela and China drill off the coast of Florida. We guess shovel-ready means those shovels are to bury the United States with.

Roll-out of the Obama Jobs Plan Continues Apace: EPA Forces Texas Energy Company To Announce 500 Layoffs. This must be a preview of what’s in Obama’s new American Jobs Act. The only problem is Obama didn’t tell us it would cause fewer jobs, not more.

Union opposition to the Greek government’s austerity program intensified Monday as tax collectors went on strike.Sounds like a plan to revive our economy – if only we can get Obama, his cabinet and the EPA to go on strike.

Blacks File Class Action Racial Discrimination Suit Against Obama & Democrats. On September 11, 2011, blacks from the West Coast and the East Coast joined together and signed one of the most comprehensive legal briefs ever prepared on racial discrimination, then filed their brief today, September 12th, at 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time in US District Court in Seattle (Case No. C11 – 1503). Careful, some Democrat folks in white sheets may come to visit you.

Solyndra is likely just the tip of a hidden moutain of subsidized garbage.“A Soperton, Ga., ethanol plant — founded by major Democratic donor Vinod Khosla — sucked up more than $162 [million] in federal and state subsidies before shutting down without ever producing a drop of ethanol.” Hell, we coulda BOUGHT quite a bit of alcohol for that price. And decent stuff, too, good enough to make us forget Obama is president for a few happy hours.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said she was “wiped out” by fraud allegedly committed by Kinde Durkee, who served as treasurer for her and numerous other Democrat’s campaigns.“‘I was wiped out too, we don’t know how much,’ said Feinstein, indicating the losses in campaign funds could run into hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars. Reps. Susan Davis and Loretta Sanchez, now appear to be victims as well.” They suck at handling their own money as well as the country’s.

Donald Rumsfeld tweets: After reading Krugman’s repugnant piece on 9/11, I cancelled my subscription to the New York Times this AM.Wow, we didn’t know Rumsfeld kept cockatoos.

TSA Creator Says Dismantle, Privatize the Agency.“Everything they have done has been reactive. They take shoes off because of [shoe-bomber] Richard Reid, passengers are patted down because of the diaper bomber, and you can’t pack liquids because the British uncovered a plot using liquids,” said Rep. John Mica (R-FL). “We are one of the only countries still using this model of security other than Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, and I think, Libya.” Well, to the Obamunists that’s a feature, not a bug.

Sponge Bob is killing your kid’s attention span! Or at least that is what we took away from the headline. We couldn’t bring ourselves to stay focused long enough to actually read the story. But it is a yellow bird -and not the sponge- that should be blamed for that.

Labor Dept: only 1.75 full-time private-sector workers in the United States last year for each Social Security beneficiary.The Pozni scheme known as Social Security is running short of pigeons. When the system can’t bring in enough new suckers to pay the promised returns to the current “investors”, the con collapses. Ordinarily, this is when the authorities shut down the fraud and arrest the operators but since the operators here are the gubbermint, this is when they increase taxes on the Koch Brothers and their corporate jets. Oh, and you.

Poll: 74% say businesses and consumers are over-regulated.“…while voters understand regulations have increased recently, they don’t understand that the executive branch is exclusively to blame. A majority say that Congress creates regulations, when, in fact, unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats do.” Well, there’s nobody to explain that to folks; it’s not like we have a functional free press or anything.

America needs to test politicians’ ideas and reject the stupid ones (which means rejecting most of them.)“What do politicians do when they think they have a great idea? They just go and implement it. It’s like someone thinking he’s got a cure for cancer and immediately injecting it into everyone he can. That’s a madman, not a scientist. You always have to at least try out your idea on monkeys to make sure it doesn’t kill them.” Trouble is, they tried ObamaCare in Taxachusetts and it fell flat on its stupid face, but Obama implemented it anyway. Hey, he’s anti-science!

Maureen Dowd really is an awful writer. Buried near the end of her latest rambling screed in the New York Times is this paragraph: “The reawakened Republicans are no longer the loyal opposition. They’re revolutionary Bolsheviks who want to eat Obama alive.” Mixed metaphors and gross overstatement be damned. Full speed ahead. (Finally, though, we know exactly what happened to the Romanovs. They were eaten by the Bolsheviks.)

Hugo Chavez brings in shamans to cure his cancer. He says he’s fine. He says that Cuban chemo is working just dandy. But what the hell, a guy’s gotta cover all his bases. “Shamans from tribes in Venezuela’s Amazon jungle held a ceremony at the Miraflores presidential palace Saturday to help Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recover from his cancer treatment. Chavez, who insists that he was “not sick but recovering” from cancer, greeted the shamans wearing a tracksuit in the colors of the Venezuelan national flag and wore a crown of feathers the visitors gave him.” Our suggestion? Leaches. They’d probably do it for free as a professional courtesy.

Let’s forget 9/11. So says Tom Engelhardt, a fellow at The Nation Institute and a professor at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of… wait for it… California, Berkeley. An apt memorial to those who agree with Tom might be a reflecting pond called “The Faces of Stupidity”.

Newsweak 1995: Lacking editors, reviewers or critics, the Internet has become a wasteland of unfiltered data.Since data is useless without some smart journalist to tell us what it means, Newsweak (misspelling intentional) was sure it would soon join the pet rock on the ash heap of history. But 15 years later, it’s the internet that’s thriving while Newsweak gets punted from one owner to another like a cheap Christmas fruitcake. The predictions of self-styled elitists are always good for a laugh… but nothing else.
