Vatican bans Carla Bruni. What the hell were they thinking?

Ahead of President Sarkozy’s 30-minute audience with the Pontiff earlier this month, Vatican officials sent the French ambassador a message saying: “Carla Sarkozy is not welcome in the Vatican.”

If Carla Bruni Sarkozy were to call IHateTheMedia.com and say she wanted to stop by for a visit, the Editor would scurry around cleaning up the empty pizza boxes while the Administrator ran down to the corner 7-Eleven to buy the finest beer they had in stock. We’re givers, damn it.

The Pope, not so much.

Suddenly, we understand what Chris Matthews meant when he talked about getting a tingle up his leg

Time.com has the details of Bruni’s schism with the Catholic church:

Ahead of President Sarkozy’s 30-minute audience with the Pontiff earlier this month, Vatican officials sent the French ambassador a message saying:

“Carla Sarkozy is not welcome in the Vatican.” The message, which led her to stay in Paris, is said to be over the Pope’s fears that more racy photographs of her days as a catwalk model would emerge. Nude and semi-naked pictures from her days as a model are regularly published in the media. In one, she’s seen posing in just a pair of knee high boots and a diamond ring. (The U.S. didn’t seem to mind.)

President Sarkozy set up the meeting with the Pope after polls showed his popularity rating with French Catholics had fallen from 61% to 47% in the past year. Although raised a Catholic himself, Sarkozy is twice divorced and his current wife has an illegitimate child. The Elysée Palace in Paris had no comment on why the first lady stayed in Paris for the Vatican trip.

Let us make this clear. As much as Carla Bruni is not welcome at the Vatican, that’s how much she is welcome at IHateTheMedia.com. Feel free to drop by any time, Carla.

We also take confessions.

Germans face reality: Multiculturalism is a bunch of unsinn

The Germans, who 50 years ago learned that invading other nations doesn’t work, have now learned that allowing their own nation to be invaded doesn’t work, either.

The Germans, who 50 years ago learned that invading other nations doesn’t work, have now learned that allowing their own nation to be invaded doesn’t work, either.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has come out and spoken the unspeakable, that “multikulti” – multiculturalism – hasn’t worked.

Angela Merkel spoke the unspeakable: multculturalism doesn't work

The BBC has her comments on multicultural mayhem:

Mrs Merkel told a gathering of younger members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party on Saturday that at “the beginning of the 60s our country called the foreign workers to come to Germany and now they live in our country… We kidded ourselves a while, we said: ‘They won’t stay, sometime they will be gone’, but this isn’t reality.

“And of course, the approach [to build] a multicultural [society] and to live side-by-side and to enjoy each other… has failed, utterly failed.”

… Mrs Merkel stressed that immigrants living in Germany needed to do more to integrate, including learning to speak German.

“Anyone who does not immediately speak German”, she said, “is not welcome”.

Multiculturalism is one of our pet peeves. Liberals swear that it is the panacea for all the world’s ills, but far as we can tell, it’s just another of those baseless beliefs that become part of the liberal psyche.

In the words of Michael Savage, “Borders, language, culture.”

(By the way, in case you were wondering, unsinn is the German word for nonsense. We only used it because we couldn’t find a German translation for bullshit.)

Global warming “propagandist” purged from the pages of Wikipedia

For years, global warming skeptics have complained that they were treated unfairly by Wikipedia. Now the people’s encyclopedia has admitted as much by purging its pages of William Connelley.

For years, global warming skeptics have complained that they were treated unfairly by Wikipedia. Now the people’s encyclopedia has admitted as much by purging its pages of William Connelley.

polar bear
Wikipedia boots William Connelley. And the polar bears weep.

FinancialPost.com has the details:

William Connolley, arguably the world’s most influential global warming advocate after Al Gore, has lost his bully pulpit. Connolley did not wield his influence by the quality of his research or the force of his argument but through his administrative position at Wikipedia, the most popular reference source on the planet.

Through his position, Connolley for years kept dissenting views on global warming out of Wikipedia, allowing only those that promoted the view that global warming represented a threat to mankind. As a result, Wikipedia became a leading source of global warming propaganda, with Connolley its chief propagandist.

His career as a global warming propagandist has now been stopped, following a unanimous verdict that came down today through an arbitration proceeding conducted by Wikipedia. In the decision, a slap-down for the once-powerful Connolley by his peers, he has been barred from participating in any article, discussion or forum dealing with global warming. In addition, because he rewrote biographies of scientists and others he disagreed with, to either belittle their accomplishments or make them appear to be frauds, Wikipedia barred him — again unanimously — from editing biographies of those in the climate change field.

William Connelley was a fraud. The science is settled.

Maureen Dowd reveals that she was a very unpopular nerd in high school

The subject of Marueen Dowd’s column was those awful Republican women, but the column said much more about the columnist than it did about its supposed subject.

Maureen Dowd, whose high school photo still accompanies her New York Times column, went off on a very revealing rant in her Sunday column.

The subject was those awful Republican women, but the column said much more about the columnist than it did about its supposed subject.

Maureen Dowd proves there is no class in the high school class of 1970

Call us armchair psychologists if you wish, but we believe Dowd’s column titled “Republican Mean Girls” was really about the angst of her high school years:

“Jan, Meg, Carly, Sharron, Linda, Michele, Queen Bee Sarah and sweet wannabe Christine — have co-opted and ratcheted up the disgust with the status quo that originally buoyed Barack Obama,” Dowd says.

“Whether they’re mistreating the help or belittling the president’s manhood, making snide comments about a rival’s hair or ripping an opponent for spending money on a men’s fashion show, the Mean Girls have replaced Hope with Spite and Cool with Cold.”

And here’s the money line: Those Republicans women are “grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant.”

How bad were your high school years, liberal nerd girl? Why is it still so important that you were you a member of the audio-visual club, that you went to the prom with your cousin and that you never got to sit at the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria?

Oh, and one more thing: How long did that “Maureen is pregnant” rumor go on?

Even the college kids have figured it out

The New York Daily News has the details:

College students’ support for the President is waning — a worrying sign for Democrats who are trying to re-energize young voters before the midterm elections, which are just a couple weeks away.
 Just 44% approve of the job Obama is doing, while 27% said they are unhappy with his job performance, according to a new Associated Press-mtvU poll.

That’s a significant dip from the 60% who gave the president high marks in a May 2009 poll. Only 15% of college goers had a negative opinion of him back then.

The education of Barack Obama has seen his GPA go into a steady decline. His latest report card shows a surprisingly low C in Public Speaking 401. A C- in Introduction to Golf. A D+ in Geography (he blew the final by answering “57” to the question “How many states are there?”). And, of course, an F in Economics 101.

CNBC can’t stomach Bawney Fwank’s “evolving position” on home ownership

CNBC can’t stomach Barney Frank’s “evolving position” on home ownership.

Make no mistake about it, when we say “evolving position,” we mean his butt-covering lie.

In 2005 Barney Frank said, “Those of us on our committee in particular will continue to push for home ownership.”

In 2010 Barney Frank’s position has mysteriously evolved into, “I was very much in disagreement with this push into home ownership, and I think the Federal government should not be artificially doing that.”

That was more than CNBC Power Lunch gang could take. They nailed Frank on his hypocrisy.

Bad news for Democrats: Voters look at them and see extremist wackos

Democrats and the lapdog liberal media have spent many months attempting to paint Republicans and conservatives as extremists. Uh-oh. A new poll shows that the ploy has failed.

Democrats and the lapdog liberal media have spent many months attempting to paint Republicans and conservatives as extremists.

Uh-oh. A new poll shows that the ploy has failed and that likely voters in key battleground congressional districts think extremists hold more sway over Democrats than Republicans.

TheHill.com has the disturbing Democrat details:

This result comes from The Hill 2010 Midterm Election Poll, which found that 44 percent of likely voters say the Democratic Party is more dominated by its extreme elements; whereas 37 percent say it’s the Republican Party that is more dominated by extremists.

The revelations in a survey of 10 toss-up congressional districts across the country point to problems for Democrats, who are trying to motivate a disillusioned base and appeal to independents moving to the GOP ahead of the Nov. 2 election.

More than one in every five Democrats (22 percent) in The Hill’s survey said their party was more dominated than the GOP by extreme views. The equivalent figure among Republicans is 11 percent.

A jolt from Volt: Mileage figures may be 20% of what Government Motors promised

chevy-volt
Everything you'd expect from a company called Government Motors. And less.

The folks at Jalopnik have all the fouled-up fuel economy figures:

First of all, let’s talk about fuel economy. In August of last year, we heard GM’s then-CEO Fritz Henderson claimed with all the marketing might it could muster at a Detroit-area press event, that the Chevy Volt would get 230 MPG in city driving conditions. Now, as the Volt’s being tested by the auto trade press, we’re seeing some surprisingly low fuel economy figures amid the expected lavish praise buff books are heaping upon the Volt.

Let’s see what they’ve found out. Popular Mechanics saw just 37.5 MPG in city driving. Car and Driver apparently didn’t choose to use their wheel time for any city driving — but found with all-electric driving:

“…getting on the nearest highway and commuting with the 80-mph flow of traffic-basically the worst-case scenario-yielded 26 miles; a fairly spirited back-road loop netted 31; and a carefully modulated cruise below 60 mph pushed the figure into the upper 30s.”

Motor Trend, like the rest of the trade press other than Popular Mechanics, didn’t appear to do any testing in city conditions, but did find that:

“Without any plugging in, [a weeklong trip to Grandma’s house] should return fuel economy in the high 30s to low 40s.”

They also parrot GM’s new line of 25-50 miles of all-electric — a far cry from the 230 MPG they originally marketed — that the “Volt provides 25-50 miles of real-world electric operation no matter how hard you flog it.”

Oh, big deal. A measly 500% off. Admit it – you’d be thrilled if Tim Geithner could come up with budget numbers that accurate.

Salon’s Joan Walsh makes pilgrimage to MSNBC, genuflects at altar of ignorance

Salon Editor Joan Walsh guested on Hardball, where despite video proof offered by host Chris Matthews that senate candidate Richard Blumenthal blatantly lied about serving in Vietnam, she said, “They’re distorting his words.”

Salon editor Joan Walsh should get down on her knees and say a prayer of thanks to whatever God she worships, for He, in his wisdom, endowed her with a blessed ignorance that protects her from seeing what a moron she is. Surely, if she had any degree of self-awareness she would never venture beyond the confines of her own home again, much less attempt to speak in public.

Walsh guested on Hardball, where despite video proof offered by host Chris Matthews that senate candidate Richard Blumenthal blatantly lied about serving in Vietnam, she said, “They’re distorting his words. It’s very difficult to say he lied.” In addition to being ignorant, she also made herself asinine by making those little finger quote motions around the word “lied.”

Save yourself the trouble of watching the entire clip. Go straight to the 6:58 mark of the video. (You owe us one.)

It gets even better at the 7:29 mark when Mathews, painful as it must have been for him, had no choice but to point out that Walsh was wrong, causing her to revert to an expression that one imagines monopolizes most of her face time – the confused dog/tilted head look.

Of course the true depth of Walsh’s “intelligence” was forever memorialized in an earlier video that went viral – her classic exchange with Mika Mxyzptlk, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe show.

Mika, the very model of vapidity, openly mocks Walsh right to her face. And let’s face it, when someone as dense as Mika finds you mockworthy, you must begin to realize just how low you reside on the evolutionary scale.

The foreclosure paperwork mess: Banks, regulators, customers all confused

One day Bank of America admits its paperwork is screwed up and cancels all foreclosures in 28 states. The next day it cancels them in the rest of the 57 states. And the day after that, President Obama says foreclosures should continue.

Somebody get us a friggin’ scorecard, because it’s getting tough to tell who’s on which side of this fiasco.

You may end up staying in your house just because the foreclosure paperwork is so screwed up

We’d like to say CNN.com has the latest details, but this story’s moving so fast that it’s tough to know what the latest details might be.

Pressure is mounting on U.S. banks to halt more foreclosures amid widespread allegations that loan servicers failed to verify legal documents in what could be hundreds of thousands of cases.

Members of Congress from California wrote to the heads of the Justice Department, the Federal Reserve, and the Comptroller of the Currency on Tuesday, requesting that they investigate the foreclosure processes of banks under their purview for “possible violations of law or regulations.”

In Texas, the Attorney General’s office sent “suspension notices” to 30 loan servicers in the state, asking them to halt foreclosures until they have completed a review of their procedures. The Attorney General in Massachusetts also urged financial institutions in the state to put a hold on all foreclosures.

The moves come after Ally Financial, JPMorgan and Bank of America all announced plans last week to freeze foreclosures in the 23 U.S. states where they must be approved by the courts.

Foreclosures continue in the remaining 27 states, including California and Texas, where they are not subject to judicial review. Two other major financial institutions, Wells Fargo and Citigroup, have yet to halt any foreclosures.

Our advice? If you can’t make your house payment, do what Barney Frank did – take in a renter who can run a gay prostitution ring out of your basement. Your cut might just be big enough to make your monthly payment.

Cue the song "Still Crazy After All These Years"

No, Governor Moonbeam was 55 years old and had already served two terms as California governor in 1995 when he said we need more welfare and fewer jobs.

Here’s the genius’s complete quote:

The conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs. Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter, basic food, and medical care. I’m talking about welfare for all. Without it, you’re going to have warfare for all. Without a universal health care like every other civilized country, without a minimum level of income, this country will explode. You can’t blame the guy at the bottom forever. At some point there’s a reaction and we’ll see that the real criminals are those calling the tune, making the rules, and walking to the bank.

Remarkably, Brown’s ahead in the polls. To which we can only say, elect this guy and you get what you deserve, California.

Let the exodus begin.

Arianna Huffington looks into her crystal ball and sees a conservative future

During the last 14 days the White House and President Obama have gone on the attack, and their strategy is pretty simple: “Let’s acknowledge the voter anger and make sure it gets funneled toward something else.” Thus we have seen political attacks on just about everyone–and everything–out there. The problem, though, is that voters aren’t angry with Karl Rove, John Boehner, the Chamber of Commerce or even the “undisclosed financing” of elections. Voters are angry about the economy and they have two devastating perceptions of this administration: voters think it is incompetent and that it has overreached over the past two years.

An even bigger problem for the White House is that voters may have already tuned the President out; virtually every possible metric used to evaluate the outcome of the midterm elections suggest a massive GOP victory. So let’s just come out and say it: there is no reason to think that Republicans will do any worse than 1994 (when they picked up 54 seats) and there is plenty of data to suggest that it will, in fact, be a better year for the GOP. Our projection–based on all current available data–is that the GOP will gain between 60 and 70 House seats in November.

Sixty to seventy? We’d say the Huffington Post is starting to sound conservative.

Obama admits there were no “shovel ready jobs,” Krauthammer pounces

After all his talk about “shovel ready jobs,” President Obama admitted yesterday that there really never were any shovel ready projects nor any shovel ready jobs. Charles Krauthammer lays it all out.

After all his talk about “shovel ready jobs,” President Obama admitted yesterday that there really never were any shovel ready projects nor any shovel ready jobs.

Does that surprise you? It shouldn’t. We’re willing to bet this guy’s never owned a shovel. He’s never had a real job. And he certainly wasn’t ready for the job he has now.

Charles Krauthammer lays it all out:

“Well, that is quite an admission. You know, a year and a half and half a trillion dollars later he says these things that I talked about endlessly don’t exist. It’s not actually surprising that he doesn’t know what a shovel ready project is. Having never worked in the private sector he wouldn’t be sure what a project is and there isn’t a lot of shoveling at Harvard Law School.” So I can understand that this was one of the greatest “Oops” in American history. And it’s going to be hard for a democrat when you show one tape against another. They’re goint to say, “So you supported a trillion dollars offered by a president who didn’t even know that this stuff that this stuff is not going to happen?”

NOTE: Although Barack Obama has never owned a shovel, he’s still managed to dig himself a pretty big hole in the last 21 months.

CNB.com has the disturbing details:

Saudi-funded textbooks being used in America’s K-12 classrooms.
Teaching, among other things, that Jesus was a “Palestinian,” the state of Israel never existed, and that the Muslims discovered America before Columbus. Some native-American chiefs had Muslim names. At this rate, perhaps even Saudi grade-school textbooks, complete with jihadi and dhimmi declarations, will come to instruct American school-children.

For instance, did you know that Muslims discovered America? Or that Jerusalem is an Arab city? That’s just some of the “history” that students in America’s K-12 classrooms have been taught in recent years–with the help of taxpayer money.



A new report by the non-profit Institute for Jewish and Community Research finds that American high school and elementary textbooks contain countless inaccuracies about Christianity, Judaism, Israel and the Middle East.



The Institute examined 28 of the most widely-used history, geography and social studies textbooks in America. It found at least 500 errors.



One book ignored the Jewish roots of Christianity, saying the faith was founded by a “young Palestinian” named Jesus.



Another stated as fact that the Koran was revealed to Mohammed from God.


Yet another said ancient Jewish civilization contributed “very little” to to the arts and sciences.

For all we know, they also teach that there are 57 states.
