Jordan woman killed in hospital over pregnancy. Apparently an “Honor Killing”. Ahhh, the religion of oxymorons.

NASA scientist wants Obama arrested. NASA is no longer in the manned space-flight business, but that doesn’t mean it’s short of space cadets.

Monkey see monkey do is not always a good thing.

U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro: Let them eat biscotti. Instead of rushing back from her vacation on Italy’s posh Amalfi Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, Connecticut Democrat Rosa DeLauro issued a statement that said, “Congresswoman DeLauro has been working virtually non-stop since the hurricane hit.” We suspect that the words “on her tan” were accidentally deleted after the words “has been working virtually non-stop.”

U.S. Taxpayers Subsidizing Education Costs for China? Rep. Mike Coffman, a Colorado Republican, recently visited China and was “shocked” to learn that our genius government is spending millions of dollars to pay for China’s higher-education costs. In other words, we’re borrowing money from China to pay for Chinese kids to go to college in China. We can’t figure out who’s crazier here – the Americans who spend money we don’t have or the Chinese who lend us the money we can’t pay back.

Al Sharpton’s Moron Moment of the Day: Say what, Reverend Al? No, seriously, there are a couple sentences in this short clip that seem to contain no actual English words. Sounds come out of the good Reverend’s mouth, but they are disjointed, unintelligible syllables at best.

But the vending machine never said, “No.” We don’t mean to turn IHateTheMedia.com into a daily listing of strange sexual fetishes, but sometimes it just is what it is. Florida police just busted a very strange dude who “maliciously molested, opened, broke, injured, damaged and inserted his body parts” into a vending machine. Oh, sure, he got his giggles, but did he get his Snickers?

Contestants on new Dutch game show are asylum seekers who are about to be deported. This is for real. “A Dutch game show (Weg Van Nederland) is giving failed asylum seekers the chance to win 4,000 euros (£3,525) to help them start a new life back in their country of origin.” We’re not quite sure what Weg Van Nederland means, but we suspect a loose translation is Are You Smarter Than A Jihadist?

President Obama sends child reporters into therapy. No shining city on a hill from this president. No, siree, bob. President Obama turns into Captain Gloom when he’s interviewed by a couple kid reporters. They may have come into the interview thrilled to meet the President, but undoubtedly ran out to buy gold and retreat to a cave as soon as it was over. Nice job inspiring the kids, Captain.

In 2005, the Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. New London upheld the city’s use of eminent domain to seize property from private owners and hand it over to a developer who promised more than 3,000 new jobs and $1.2 million in tax revenue. Not only has the city’s project failed with the 91 acre site sitting empty and overgrown with weeds, but New London has now designated the site as a dump for vegetation following Hurricane Irene. Arrogant politicians bully the people they’re supposed to be serving and end up falling flat on their stupid faces. Good.

The ancient cliché that “only losers join” is long dead now. The military is now a club that many want to join, but only few are good enough to get in. Back a few years ago, Commodore John Kerry of the Rhode Island Tax Free Yacht Club and Ketchup Tasting Society told an audience “You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” Slap down! Percentage wise, there’s probably a lot more losers in congress (and the White House) than the military.

Almost 80% of U.S. Congress Lacks Academic Background in Business Economics. Doh! Pretty obvious, isn’t it?

Giant pipe and balloon to pump water into the sky in climate experiment. Grab your hoses and get ready to heal the planet! Or better yet, those who really believe all this pseudoscience can start jumping out of planes… parachute optional.

50-year-old CARTOON TRIED TO WARN US. This is even more poignant today. With Comrade Obama in the White House we have plenty of ism.

State cop gets ax over sex scandal. No, they didn’t cut it off, they just terminated his employment.

Big Sis shuts down public use of police scanner communication. More testing the waters to see what DHS can get away with? I wonder where the ACLU is? This seems like a violation of the 1st Amendment to me. Typical of an administration that would like to see the Constitution in the shredder.

Hub doctor to lead fight on obesity joins Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! program. We can’t find a full photo of her, only head shots. Perhaps there’s a reason? Judging by the 2 or 3 chins we see in her photo we have to wonder if it’s another case of hypocrisy emanating from the White House.

Black unemployment: Highest in 27 years Look’s like the change part of hope and change is going the wrong direction again. We hope that next time, voters will check the box next to the name of a candidate with experience and not hope.

Green Day frontman kicked off flight over saggy pants. The Obama era has has been hard on a lot of us. Even pop stars. Take Billy Joe Armstrong for example. He used to fight the man by opposing wars and Presidents. Now that he’s not allowed to do that anymore he’s been reduced to getting attention by showing his ass on airplanes. Proving yet again that the only thing sadder than a corporate pop-punk rock star is a 40 year old corporate pop-punk rock star.

Young Turk wonders if Obama is playing rope-a-dope. Sorry Cenk Uygur, we’re more interested in how Obama is destroying the country than what he and Reggie Love do in their private time.

Congressman Joe Walsh bitch slaps MSNBC’s Martin Bashir, says “Your profession did not vet” Obama. We’re pretty sure Congressman Joe Walsh hates the media, too.

Feds set to sue banks for making bad loans the feds demanded they make. The Community Reinvestment Act, championed by the likes of Barney Frank and Barack Obama, required banks to lend money to people unlikely to pay it back. Now, the Feds are about to sue those same banks for making those same bad loans. A Democrat is someone who blows up a building and then sues the manufacturer for making a dangerous explosive, the builder for putting up a building for him to blow up and the police for failing to stop him. And if you point this irony out to him, he’ll say you’re blaming the victim.

Newly obtained emails show that the White House was better informed about Operation Fast and Furious than was previously known. The administration claims the emails don’t prove anyone in the White House was aware of the covert “investigative tactics” of the operation: “Yeah, we thought those guns were gonna be used by Mexican Civil War re-enactors!”

The U.N. nuclear agency said Friday it is “increasingly concerned” about a stream of intelligence suggesting that Iran continues to work secretly on developing a nuclear payload for a missile and other components of a nuclear weapons program. Iranian head nitwit Ahminadinnerjacket should expect a very strong letter of rebuke from the US’s top golfer. Unless, of course, he’s too busy working on his super-fabulous employment plan… “Hey, knock off the nuclear explosions, will ya? I’m tryin’ to create zillions of jobs in here!”

IRS Allowed $4.2 Billion in Credits to Undocumented Workers, Audit Finds. At issue is use of a tax break based on earned income called the additional child tax credit. No wonder we see all these vans with the little papa, mama, and 10 kids stickers running around. Hell, we probably paid for some of those vans ourselves.
