I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Illinois ‘Hate Crimes’ Investigator Caught Sending Tea Party Hate Mail. Another loving liberal doing what they accuse the Republicans of doing. Oh the hypocrisy.

Man in Gumby costume tries to rob convenience store, clerk thinks it’s a joke. Looks to us like he should change the name to Dumby.

Sen. John McCain is asking for the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to call the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder; the Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano; and the ATF’s acting director, B. Todd Jones as witnesses in a hearing on Operation “Fast and Furious.” Tom Coburn (R-OK), Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Rand Paul (R-KY) are on this committee so it could get interesting.

Ten years after the September 11 attacks of 2001, the United States has altered the balance between freedom and security, turning an open and casual society into an ever-vigilant one. But at what cost in lost liberty and dollars? We don’t care for it either, but if the leftist multicultural cultists didn’t insist we let every no-luggage-carrying bozo with a sob story from countries that hate us in here, we might not need all this security. If you don’t stop them at the border, then you better stop them in the streets and airports.

The best comment to come out of tonight’s Republican debate. It comes from Newt Gingrich after John Harris, of Politico, tried to suck him in on Obamacare. Gingrich replied: “I for one, and I hope all of my friends up here, going to repudiate every effort of the news media to get Republicans to fight each other to protect Barack Obama who deserves to be defeated. And all of us are committed as a team, whoever the nominee is, we are all for defeating Barack Obama.”

Exclusive Report: Documents indicate ATF, FBI allowed Indiana ‘crime gun’ sales. Got a record? Need a gun? Just dial 1-800-BATFGUN and a friendly agent will direct you to a local gun shop who will sell you anything you want.

Jimmy Hoffa on CNN: “I think businesses are sitting on money. Look at Apple. They have $76 billion in their checking account. And they’re not spending it.” Yeah, Apple’s capital ain’t for them to allocate according to the needs of their business, it’s for making Jimmy Hoffa and Barack Obama happy! Hoffa goes on to whine that Honda (a Japanese multi-national) has an obligation to build plants in the US instead of Mexico. In Hoffa’s mind, apparently everyone’s duty is to serve him and his political allies.

Battle For Weiner’s Seat In Congress Turns Into Referendum On Obama Policies. The Republican contender gets the endorsement of Dem Assemblyman Hikind. His platform? It’s time to “shrink the size of government”. Shrinkage. One thing that would have kept Weiner in office.

This just in, Obama intends to steal hundreds of billions more to buy votes and pay off political cronies with. He calls it a jobs creation program but -despite his call to extend that microscopic payroll taxcut- we know what this really is. Campaign finance!

U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Darrell Issa, Ranking Member. Read how the Obama administration stacks up on bullshit propaganda.

Destroying the theory that illegal aliens do jobs Americans won’t do. Obama’s illegal alien uncle Onyango works in a liquor store, for god’s sake. What red-blooded American man wouldn’t want to work in a liquor store? He probably gets an employee discount, too.

Whoops! ObamaCare Backers in Wisconsin Produce Report Showing That the Health Care Overhaul Will Make Health Insurance More Expensive. There’s only one thing to do: make writing reports about ObamaCare illegal.

The NBC affiliate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, WTMJ TV announced yesterday they will not be airing Obama’s jobs speech at 7 PM EST Thursday night. Instead they are opting for their own pre-game coverage of the Packers Saints game scheduled to kick off at 8 PM. Milwaukee discoveres one can indeed get too much of a useless thing. Obama will need to start scheduling his speeches against the 3 AM Super Juicer infomercials if he wants to get an audience. No guarantee there either, those Super Juicers are pretty cool.

Top of Chinese wealthy’s wish list? To leave China. What?! Successful business people in communist China don’t like having everything they own taken away from them? Oh, and they want a second baby? How dare them. Maybe a swap is in order… and let’s start from the top down.

Nathan Mark Hardy Arrested With Live Lobsters In Shorts. Insert crustacean joke here. Oh, and I thought they reserved the use of the middle name for presidential assassination attempts?

UN watchdog says Libyan chemical weapons secure. Rest easy, comrades! The UN has it under control! Of course they will definitely make sure once “conditions will allow us.”

Why Krugman and the Keynesians are wrong: The problem isn’t as simple as low aggregate demand. The core problem is that the economy needs a microeconomic reset, where supply (production) and demand (consumer) are brought back together through an undistorted and smoothly functioning price system. That means the government has to back off, not become more active. Well, the stimulative crack hasn’t worked in Japan. But hey, two centuries of failure proved nothing to these fools, why should two decades make a difference?

As problems mount, the siren song of magical thinking becomes ever more irresistable to feckless politicians and the voters alike. The reasons why it usually fails. If it, like Marxism, always fails, why do we keep doing it? As Thomas Sowell once remarked, what works is less attractive than what “sounds good.” Besides, dude, it’s magical! What part of “magical” don’t you understand, bro?

Drunken elk rescued from Swede’s apple tree. Time for Elkaholics Anonymous.

Ed Schultz upset that Al Sharpton now considered to be the most idiotic MSNBC host, decides to get his title back. And by something, we mean he praises Jimmy Hoffa and says Obama would be more popular if he started talking like a union thug.

New York City Mayor Bloomberg says, “Don’t call it Ground Zero anymore.” Kind of like we shouldn’t call Bloomberg a Republican anymore.

Major Garrett says Al Gore has always been imperious, arrogant and condescending. And then the National Journal correspondent tells Dennis Miller that Gore’s “global warming deniers are racists” theme is just more of the same.

Liberal lunacy: San Francisco to force naked residents to keep a towel handy. When I told Mrs Editor about this story she said, “Well, at least they’re required to wear a towel.” “No,” I replied, “they can walk around naked. The law says they have to put a towel under themselves when they sit down in public.” I can’t tell you what Mrs Editor said then.

“This is just dumb. The former speaker is criticizing us for passing up an opportunity to criticize the president.” The Republicans decided that President Obama’s silly address to a joint session of Congress didn’t merit an official speech in response. Nancy Pelosi is outraged and calls it “disrespectful,” which is a major improvement over “racist.”

Bankrupt Solyndra got $24.4 million in state tax breaks. California, lacking common sense and eager to get green jobs going, specifically designed the tax exemptions for Solyndra, who got 80% of the $30.2 million in tax exemptions claimed as of Aug. 1. More money down the green jobs pit.
