The fraud in the 2010 census continues unabated. Now James O’Keefe brings us his latest undercover exploits – exposing rampant payroll fraud at the Census Bureau.
The fraud in the 2010 census continues unabated. Last week we reported the story of the Census Bureau repeatedly hiring and firing and rehiring the same workers in order to boost Obama’s vaunted employment numbers.
Now James O’Keefe brings us his latest undercover exploits – exposing rampant payroll fraud at the Census Bureau.
In the words of one census supervisor, “Ssssssh.”
That torrid kiss that steamed up the 2000 Democrat convention will not be reoccurring soon. Although we reported couple weeks ago that Al and Tipper Gore were moving to Montecito, California, it now appears that they’re heading for Splitsville instead.
That torrid kiss that steamed up the 2000 Democrat convention will not be reoccurring soon. Although we reported couple weeks ago that Al and Tipper Gore were moving to Montecito, California, it now appears that they’re heading for Splitsville instead.
Politico has the details:
In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said: “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.
“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”
We’re betting Albert gets the beach house and that the red hot California beach babes running in and out of the place will melt not just the glaciers, but Al’s icy exterior.

Here is a candid moment on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show when Mika Mxyzptlk asked Time editor Rick Stengel if the magazine’s latest issue would cover the Joe Sestak story.
There’s nothing more revealing than those candid moments when libs are caught with his pants down (no Barney Frank reference intended).
In this case, we’re referring to the candid moment on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show when Mika Mxyzptlk asked Time editor Rick Stengel if the magazine’s latest issue would cover the Joe Sestak story.
Stengel was baffled. He stuttered. He stammered. He tried to fake it until Mika cattle prodded the inner recesses of his mind by saying, “The Sestak controversy. Joe Sestak.”
“Oh, Sestak.” Stengel said. “No. No. There is not. There is not.”
Time isn’t interested in this story. And you shouldn’t be, either. Barack Obama said so.
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews played it pretty straight during the Clinton impeachment debacle. And as he demonstrates in this clip, one can safely assume that was because he’s no fan of the Clintons.
Despite the thrill he gets up his leg whenever Barack Obama speaks, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews played it pretty straight during the Clinton impeachment debacle. And as he demonstrates in this clip, one can safely assume that was because he’s no fan of the Clintons.
Matthews: Let’s take a look at Rush — I have to do this — Rush Limbaugh today impersonating Bill Clinton and assessing the situation. Let’s listen to Rushbo.
Andrea Mitchell: Oh dear!
(Begin video clip)
Rush: (Doing Clinton impression) I’m going to kiss your (BLEEP) if you kiss my (BLEEP). I’ll make sure that you — if you come groveling to me, I’ll be happy to help you out here. Now look at what has happened here, they go to Bill Clinton. He’s famous for getting people jobs. Monica Lewinsky offered a job at Revlon. She was offered a job at the United Nations. She didn’t take any of them. But they’ve got Bill Clinton. Isn’t it great, folks, that they found a guy who they know will commit perjury to carry the water here?
(End video clip)
Matthews: Well sometimes even he can get it right. That was pretty good lampooning, I’ve got to say.
“That was pretty good lampooning”? Very strange wording and oddly reminiscent of Richard Nixon saying to David Frost, “Do any fornicating this weekend?”
Or is it just us?

After the majority party voted to approve a raise for federal employees, Rep. Michele Bachmann went to the floor of the House and ripped them each a new one. And just for good measure, she ripped a few big spending Republicans, too.
Apparently, the Democrats haven’t read a newspaper lately, because they don’t seem to know there’s a friggin’ recession going on.
After the majority party voted to approve a raise for federal employees, Rep. Michele Bachmann went to the floor of the House and ripped them each a new one. And just for good measure, she ripped a few big spending Republicans, too.
As Bachmann explained, this raise for overpaid federal employees will add another $2 billion to the already obscene deficit.
We’d say “It’s only money”, but to be more accurate we’ll amend that and say, “It’s only your money.”

As if there weren’t already enough reasons to compare Barack Obama to Jimmy Carter, the worst president of the 20th century, this quote gives us another one.
This is a day we won’t soon forget. Because this is the third story we’ve managed to wring out of one Presidential sound bite, an achievement that would make any blogger proud.
“When I woke up this morning and I’m shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she says — did you plug the hole yet Daddy?” he said, recounting how often he thinks of the spill, adding, “I grew up in Hawaii, where the ocean is sacred.”
As if there weren’t already enough reasons to compare Barack Obama to the worst president of the 20th century, this quote gives us another one.
It’s more than just a little reminiscent of the moment during the 1980 Presidential debate when Jimmy Carter announced his daughter Amy was now an official White House policy consultant. Amy was 13 years old at the time. Malia will soon be 12. Oh, those precocious energy-conscious Democrat kids.
Anybody know where we can get one of those “Welcome back, Carter” bumper stickers?
Barack Obama: “I grew up in Hawaii, where the ocean is sacred.” He was, we assume, referring to his childhood worship of Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the ocean.
Please prepare our places in the Bloggers Hall of Fame, because we’ve managed to squeeze two stories out of a single presidential sound bite.
“When I woke up this morning and I’m shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she says — did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” he said, recounting how often he thinks of the spill, adding, “I grew up in Hawaii, where the ocean is sacred.”
He was, we assume, referring to his childhood worship of Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the ocean.
So relax. It looks like Michelle won’t have to be fitted for a burkah after all. But look for the President to show up to his next press conference in an Aquaman costume.
Hey, don’t blame us for calling the kid fat and stupid. We’re just repeating what the President and First Lady said.
Hey, don’t blame us for calling the kids fat and stupid. We’re just repeating what the President and First Lady said.
It’s amazing how this guy – the president, that is – tells the media that his daughters are off limits until he needs to use them as foils in a story meant to capture the media’s collective hearts.
First, during her war on childhood obesity, Michelle announced that the Obama family doctor advised her that the girls are a bit too plump and should lay off the sweets.
Then the President announced that Malia wasn’t studying hard enough and that her grades sucked.
But the President’s latest invocation of his children’s names was inspired by the oil blowout in the Gulf. It’s a bittersweet, but totally unbelievable story of childhood innocence lost.
“When I woke up this morning and I’m shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she says — did you plug the hole yet Daddy?” the President said, noting that this is one of the reasons he is consumed by thoughts of the spill.
And then, we imagine, just as the President was wiping the last of the shaving cream off his ruggedly handsome, chiseled face, Malia said, “Daddy, what do you think we should do about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the proliteration of nuclear weapons? And what about that Arizona illegal alien law? Have you instructed the attorney general to fight it in court? And do you think the Greek debt crisis will spill over to the rest of the G-20? Do you, daddy? Do you?”
Yeah, right.
The End.
The amazing thing is that it’s taken 16 months and numerous unresolved crises for MSNBC host and presidential sycophant Chris Matthews to get over the thrill that goes up his leg whenever he hears Obama speak.

President Obama’s promise to put 1,200 new troops on the border is as empty as the national treasury. Turns out those troops won’t be used to stop the flow of illegal aliens.
President Obama’s promise to put 1,200 new troops on the border is as empty as the national treasury. Turns out those troops won’t be used to stop the flow of illegal aliens.
AFP has a full report on Obama’s empty promise:
US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.
The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday authorized the deployment of up to 1,200 additional troops to border areas but State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, “It’s not about immigration.”
He said the move was “fully consistent with our efforts to do our part to stem, you know, violence, to interdict the flow of dangerous people and dangerous goods — drugs, guns, people.”
He said the extra troops would be used to free up civilians engaged in support functions so that law enforcement personnel can be increased along the 2,000-mile-long (3,200 kilometer) border.
How can you explain Obama’s constant kowtowing to the president of a corrupt third world country against the overwhelming opposition of the American people?
Felipe Calderon must have photos of Barack Obama in compromising positions with farm animals. It’s the only possible answer.

At the rate the Census Bureau is creating jobs, it may singlehandedly wipe out unemployment. Of course, the whole damn thing is as phony as Obama’s birth certificate, but phony seems to trump reality in Washington, DC these days.
At the rate the Census Bureau is creating jobs, it may singlehandedly wipe out unemployment. Of course, the whole damn thing is as phony as Obama’s birth certificate, but phony seems to trump reality in Washington, DC these days.
The New York Post recounts the phony job count:
Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks.
The worker, Naomi Cohn, told The Post that she was hired and fired a number of times by Census. Each time she was hired back, it seems, Census was able to report the creation of a new job to the Labor Department. . . .
Each month Census gives Labor a figure on the number of workers it has hired. That figure goes into the closely followed monthly employment report Labor provides. For the past two months the hiring by Census has made up a good portion of the new jobs.
Labor doesn’t check the Census hiring figure or whether the jobs are actually new or recycled. It considers a new job to have been created if someone is hired to work at least one hour a month.
One hour! A month! So, if a worker is terminated after only one hour and another is hired in her place, then a second new job can apparently be reported to Labor.
Do you ever feeling that we’re living in some sort of strange, alternate universe?

In case you haven’t yet rushed out to buy this week’s U.S. News, let us sum up John Kerry’s hypocritical comments for you: “We Democrats are doing a dandy job and you’re a hypocritical piece of commoner crap if you don’t appreciate us.”
“We’ve come back,” he says of the nation, Wall Street, and the economy. “This is an amazing resurgence.”
It wasn’t a slam at the Tea Party movement and those upset at Washington as much as a frustration he feels that Congress and the president aren’t getting the credit he thinks they deserve for pulling the country out of a second depression.
“I think there’s a comprehension gap,” said Kerry. His point: While people may not be feeling the benefits of the bailouts and healthcare reform yet, Congress has been working with Obama to right the economic ship. Still, he sounded sympathetic to those kicked around by the economy. “There’s a sense of some things unraveling” to them, said Kerry.
But he said that the D.C.-directed attacks are hypocritical, since many of those attacking Washington spending presumably want to keep their Social Security and Medicare and want Washington to play a big role in the Gulf Oil cleanup. “There’s a huge contradiction on a daily basis,” he said.
Kerry really can’t figure out why the little people are upset. We’re pretty sure he’s thinking, “What’s the big deal? If you can’t find a job, just do what I did – pull yourself up by your bootstraps and marry a rich, recently-widowed heiress.”
Voila! Problem solved.

Timothy Hird is about to become a legend within the Royal Society of Arrogant Prius Owners. Despite his imminent fame, it’s a tragic tale and something we wouldn’t wish on the most liberal of liberals.
Timothy Hird is about to become a legend within the Royal Society of Arrogant Prius Owners. Despite his imminent fame, it’s a tragic tale and something we wouldn’t wish on the most liberal of liberals.
Jalopnik.com has the details:
Timothy Hird of Winder, Georgia was so sick of people pushing around hybrid drivers he attempted to race a non-hybrid Honda Civic to “prove how fast his Prius could go.” The stunt landed the beleaguered Prius owner in jail.
It happened last week near Braselton, Georiga when the Prius driver was leaving a Publix supermarket. According to the police report, the driver of the Civic pulled out in front of Hird. This was the last straw for the Prius driver. He sped up to meet the Civic and yelled “Watch this!” at the Civic’s female passenger and started harassing them by tapping on the brakes and blocking their car. Eventually, the Civic driver tried to pass the hybrid and nearly wiped out into a police car.
Both drivers were promptly arrested and charged with reckless driving, though the Prius driver probably would have been happier with a speeding ticket.
The real drama in this situation will occur at next month’s meeting of the Royal Society of Arrogant Prius Owners. Will they shun Hird for wasting our precious oil resources? Or salute him for standing up for the honor of their much-maligned hybrids?
The world awaits the decision.

Oh, my. Just try to imagine the frenetic liberal wailing and gnashing of teeth if Fox News had made a mistake like this.
TalkingPointsMemo.com provides the details:
CNN, during a segment this morning about a 103-year-old African-American woman, mistakenly aired a portion of a song that includes the word “nigga.” Realizing the mistake, the anchor apologized soon after.
The segment was about Gladys Flamer, a woman from Pennsylvania who is still driving at 103 years of age. After telling the story, anchor Kyra Phillips said, “Miss Flamer, this shoutout’s for you.”
The audio cut to “Fantastic Voyage” by Coolio — specifically, a part of the song with the words “punk ass nigga” — over footage of the woman climbing into her car.
The chorus of that song begins, “Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage”
About 25 minutes later, Phillips acknowledged the mistake and apologized.“We aired some music just a few minutes ago and, obviously for those of you who heard it, it was the wrong music that aired. It was a terrible mistake and we’re working very hard to make up for it,” she said.
Obviously, CNN was correct in apologizing for putting this on the air. But what the hell, Larry King’s been on the network for years and they’ve never apologized for him.

The Jerusalem Post has the deadly donkey details:
A small Syrian-backed terrorist group in Gaza said its activists blew up a donkey cart laden with explosives close to the border with Israel on Tuesday, killing the animal but causing no human casualties. Abu Ghassan, spokesman for the terrorist group, said more than 200 kilograms of dynamite were heaped on the animal-drawn cart. He added that the explosives were detonated 60 meters from the concrete security barrier that separates the territory from Israel.
The donkey was killed in the blast, but there were no reports of human casualties.Israeli troops routinely patrol the border, and impoverished Gazans often gather rubble in the area.
The Israeli branch of PETA was twice as angry as usual.

So there you have it. 44% strongly disapprove of President Obama and 52% say the country is not safer today than it was before 9/11. As highly-trained statisticians, we feel quite comfortable saying that 96% of Americans disapprove of Obama and think we’re less safe than we were.
There’s an old saying that there are lies, damned lies and statistics. This story will prove it.
According to Rasmussen, “The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove.”
Another Rasmussen study said, “Confidence in America’s efforts in the War on Terror has fallen again this month, and, following the unsuccessful terrorist bombing attempt in New York’s Times Square, more voters than ever now believe the nation is not safer today than it was before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks…. Fifty-two percent (52%) say the country is not safer today, up from 42% a month ago and the highest level measured over the past three years.”
So there you have it. 44% strongly disapprove of President Obama and 52% say the country is not safer today than it was before 9/11. As highly-trained statisticians, we feel quite comfortable saying that 96% of Americans disapprove of Obama and think we’re less safe than we were.
So let’s amend that old line we quoted at the beginning of this story. In the America of 2010, it should probably read, “There are lies, damned lies, and Barack Obama, who is the biggest liar of them all and the American people are finally figuring it out.”
Or something like that.
