Has anyone in the Obama administration read this Arizona law they hate so much?

Janet Napolitano joined Attorney General Eric Holder as leading figures in the Obama administration who are willing to condemn Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien bill without ever having bothered to read it.

Janet Napolitano joined Attorney General Eric Holder as leading figures in the Obama administration who are willing to condemn Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien bill without ever having bothered to read it.

She admits to John McCain that she hasn’t read the law, but that doesn’t stop her from passing judgment on it.

“That’s not the kind of law I would have signed,” she told Congress. “I believe it’s a bad law enforcement law. I believe it mandates and requires local enforcement and puts them in a position many do not want to be placed in. When I was dealing with laws of that ilk, most of the law enforcement organizations in Arizona at that time were opposed to such legislation.”

In other words, “We don’t read the damn laws, we just pass judgment on them.”

Update: State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley said on Fox News this morning that he has not read Arizona’s new law (skip to minute 6:40):

Good love gone bad: How Obama went from “Specter is one tough hombre” to “Arlen who?” in just 13 months

It’s so sad, really. The love affair that started with such heat has now cooled. Just 13 months ago, Obama cooed in Arlen’s ear that he was “one tough hombre.”

Michelle Obama’s graduation oration highlights every disaster except her husband’s administration

The only thing Michelle Obama inspired with her graduation speech at George Washington University is sales of Prozac, Zoloft and Cymbalta. Wars. Huricanes. Earthquakes. Tsunamis. Recession. Oddly enough, she didn’t include the election of her husband, which is arguably the greatest disaster in generations.

Graduation speakers are supposed to be inspirational. But the only thing Michelle Obama inspired with her speech at George Washington University is sales of Prozac, Zoloft and Cymbalta.

Wars. Huricanes. Earthquakes. Tsunamis. Recession. Oddly enough, she didn’t include the election of her husband, which is arguably the greatest disaster in generations.

In this economy, the grads know there won’t be many jobs available. But that’s ok, because after listening to this speech the only position most of these grads will be interested in is the fetal position.

Shock! Keith Olbermann is, shall we say, less than truthful.

Say what? Keith Olbermann is less than truthful? That won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s ever watched his show. But it apparently came as a revelation to Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales, who was recently named Olbermann’s “Third Worst Person In The World.”

Say what? Keith Olbermann is less than truthful? That won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s ever watched his show. But it apparently came as a revelation to Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales, who was recently named Olbermann’s “Third Worst Person In The World.”

What had Shales done to deserve this honor? He simply said that when Stewart interviewed Bill Clinton, “She looked as though she would have been much more comfortable in Clinton’s lap.”

That sent Olbermann over the edge. The edge of truthfulness, that is.

The New York Post has the details of Olbermann’s lie of omission:

Olbermann neglected to tell his viewers that Stewart, who used to substitute-host for him on “Countdown,” is married to Bill Wolff, the cable channel’s vice president for prime-time programming.

“While he’s attacking people’s ethics, he himself is guilty of a huge oversight. He’s intentionally misleading viewers,” Shales told us. “Stewart is more than a colleague. She’s his boss’ wife. It’s a deliberate deception.”

We’re not sure who was more upset by Shales’ review – Stewart or the ass-kissing Olbermann.

Latest U.N. actions would be laughable if they weren’t so contemptible

Remember that old bumper sticker that said, “Get US out of the U.N.?” Someone needs to print up a batch of new ones. Andrew Bolt highlights the latest from New York’s vile, puss-filled gang of so-called “peace keepers”.

The puss-filled sac of corruption also known as the United Nations

Remember that old bumper sticker that said, “Get US out of the U.N.?” Someone needs to print up a batch of new ones.

Andrew Bolt highlights the latest from New York’s vile, puss-filled gang of so-called “peace keepers.”

Last week:

LIBYA was elected overnight to the United Nations Human Rights Council despite numerous complaints that the country was unfit to serve on the international rights body.,, But the appeal fell on deaf ears, and a General Assembly secret ballot produced 155 votes in favor of adding Libya to the council, significantly more than the 97 votes needed.

And last month:

Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”

The United Nations has become everything it was designed to fight. We’d say it’s become a joke, but there’s nothing funny about this corrupt gaggle of tin horn dictators and theocratic thugs.

Get US out of the U.N. and its corollary, get the U.N. out of the U.S.

Now.

Sustainable Brick Made from Sand, Bacteria and Pee

It seems like pee, or more specifically urea, is becoming quite the sustainable ingredient…

These Better Bricks are created through a chain of chemical reactions known as microbial-induced calcite precipitation. Once all the ingredients are combined, the bacteria serves as a glue that binds the sand together, creating a brick that is as tough as a fired-clay brick or even marble and requires no baking to achieve that strength.

If Better Bricks replaced all traditionally-fired bricks, 800 million tons of CO2 emissions would be eliminated each year.

Remember when eco-wackos told us to put a brick in the toilet to save water? If you do that with these bricks, it would truly be the ultimate in recycling.

IHateTheMedia.com makes Nancy Pelosi an offer we hope she can’t refuse

Perhaps socializing the American economy and shredding the Constitution isn’t your real passion, Nancy. Perhaps it’s just something you’re doing to while away the time until the full glories of ObamaCare kick in in 2013 or 2014 or whenever. If that’s the case, Nancy honey, IHateTheMedia.com would like to put our money where your mouth is by making the following offer:

Nancy Pelosi calls ObamaCare an “entrepreneurial bill.” But as you might expect, her definition of “entrepreneurial” can’t be found in any dictionary.

“We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,” the Speaker of the House said, “a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.”

OK, so maybe we don’t like him that much. But we do like him. And a performance like this gives us great hope for the future of the Republic.

Los Angeles’ moron mayor says illegal aliens add to California’s “economic might”

But now Antonio Villaraigosa, a member of La Raza, but not Mensa, has cemented his intellectual legacy with this comment:

“In California, I think there’s a real sense that these immigrants provide a great deal to the economic might of the state, while at the same time give us an opportunity to take the lead on this issue of really pushing the federal government to fix a broken immigration system.”

Keep in mind that this is the same mayor who hired an additional 3,000 municipal workers just as the city was plunging into economic chaos. And the same mayor who negotiated a union contract that mandates raises for all remaing union employees if even one union employee is laid off.

Los Angeles. It’s the third world city with a fourth rate mayor.

Boxer’s Democrat opponent proudly announces that he hasn’t been endorsed by the LA Times

Mickey Kaus, a blogger, political gadfly and Barbara Boxer’s dark horse Democrat opponent in the California primary election, is proud to announce that he hasn’t been endorsed by the Los Angeles Times.

California could go from a Mickey Mouse senator to a Mickey Kaus senator

Mickey Kaus, a blogger, political gadfly and Barbara Boxer’s dark horse Democrat opponent in the California primary election, is proud to announce that he hasn’t been endorsed by the Los Angeles Times.

The Times reports Kaus’ comments on its comments:

Kaus e-mailed reporters Friday morning with an “L.A. TIMES ENDORSEMENT SHOCKER!” The paper did not endorse him, but, “amazingly,” he said, it didn’t endorse Boxer either. The Times editorial board wrote Friday that Boxer “displays less intellectual firepower or leadership than she could” and didn’t endorse any primary candidate in the Senate or governor’s race. It said it would issue endorsements in the general election.

Kaus turns the tables on Boxer with this unusual perspective:

“The point is,” he wrote, “the paper got a look at both of us and decided not to endorse the three-term incumbent over the blogger.”

If the Times polled its readers, we suspect that Boxer would defeat Kaus by a 10-to-1 margin. Of course, that’s based on the wildly optimistic belief that all eleven remaining Times readers would vote.

The way the Russians handle terrorism vs. the way we handle it

The Somali pirates quickly found themselves at room temperature and the Russians shrugged their shoulders and said, “They’re dead? Really? Must have been swine flu because we treated them with the utmost respect and courtesy.” Then there’s this infuriating Associated Press story about how we’re handling a similar group of Somali pirates.

Last week the Russians sent commandos to deal with a group of Somali pirates who had commandeered a Russian ship.

The pirates quickly found themselves at room temperature and the Russians shrugged their shoulders and said, “They’re dead? Really? Must have been swine flu because we treated them with the utmost respect and courtesy.”

Then there’s this infuriating Associated Press story about how we’re handling a similar group of Somali pirates:

A federal judge has postponed the U.S. trial of six Somali nationals charged with piracy off the coast of Africa to give both sides more time to prepare.

U.S. District Judge Raymond A. Jackson on Thursday pushed back the trial to Oct. 19 from July. The suspects are charged in an April 10 attack on the Navy vessel USS Ashland.

The Somalis, who don’t speak English, are charged with piracy and related counts and could face life in prison if convicted.

The judge cited the potential for having to deal with classified information, the number of defendants, the language barrier and other hurdles in issuing the delay.

That sound you hear is Vladimir Putin laughing his ass off.

That other sound you hear is the vehement tsk-tsking of politically correct European socialists.

Duh! Pence tells House that Americans shouldn’t bail out Europe’s failed socialist states.

Of course, liberals will undoubtedly disagree with Republican leader Mike Pence, because they seem to think it’s the American taxpayers’ responsibility to subsidize friends, foes, strangers, aliens from other planets and even California.

Of course, liberals will undoubtedly disagree with Republican leader Mike Pence, because they seem to think it’s the American taxpayers’ responsibility to subsidize friends, foes, strangers, aliens from other planets and even California.

Here’s one of the reasons Pence 2012 bumper stickers are popping up around the country:

“Our country is weary of borrowing and spending and bailouts from Washington, D.C. so the American people deserve to know we are bailing out Greece and future Americans may be picking up the tab for as much as $50 billion in additional loan guarantees for the rest of Europe in the form of a bailout.


“Here’s how it works. The European Union’s members and the IMF recently pledged $145 billion in the Greek bailout. Forty billion dollars of that came from the International Monetary Fund. Since the United States pays 17 percent, we are the largest contributor to the IMF. American taxpayers are on the hook for $6.8 billion in loan guarantees from the IMF and it may just be a down payment.
 


“The EU this last weekend talked about a $1 trillion bailout plan that could put U.S. taxpayers on the hook for $50 billion in additional loan guarantees to bail out Europe.
 


“Look, the EU was formed to compete with the U.S.A., economically. It is simply not right to ask the people of the United States of America to provide loan guarantees to bail out an economic competitor in Europe. Nobody wants to see the EU fail, but we are not asking their help in New Jersey or California. They shouldn’t be asking our help with Portugal, Spain, or Greece.”

American taxpayers shouldn’t support Europe’s faild socialist states? Why this Pence person is obviously a right wing wacko.

Remember Obama’s vow not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 per year? Forget it.

This morning at a Manhattan breakfast sponsored by Thomson Reuters, White House Budget Director Peter Orszag threw that pledge out the window. Instead, he described Obama’s “read my lips, no new taxes” pledge as a “stance” and a “preference” that is subject to study by the president’s newly-formed bipartisan Commission on Fiscal Responsibility.

Eric Holder’s against Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law, but hasn’t actually taken the time to, you know, read it

It appears that the Attorney General is just plain so overloaded with work that he can’t get around to reading the laws he criticizes. You know, the laws he threatens to take to court to overturn.

If Attorney General Eric Holder is interested, IHateTheMedia.com will spring for the cost of a quick course in speed reading at Evelyn Woods Reading Dynamics.

It appears that the Attorney General is just plain so overloaded with work that he can’t get around to reading the laws he criticizes. You know, the laws he threatens to take to court to overturn.

Fox News has the details:

Despite repeatedly voicing concerns about Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law in recent weeks and threatening to challenge it, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the law — which is only 10 pages long.

“I have not had a chance to — I’ve glanced at it,” Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants.

Holder told reporters last month that he fears the new law is subject to abuse and that the Justice Department and the Homeland Security Department are in the midst of conducting a review.

As we recall from our high school speed reading course, it’s not just speed that’s important, it’s comprehension. And Holder seems to have problem with both.

If you’d like to take the Evelyn Woods refresher course, Eric, send us an email. We’ll pay.

Eric Holder squirms when asked about “radical Islam”

Could Eric Holder be any more of a weasel? In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee about the Times Square bomber, Holder danced around for two minutes, performing astounding Clinton-like feats of verbal gymnastics and contortions in order to avoid answering the simple question “Could radical Islam be to blame.” A simple “yes” or “no” would have sufficed.

Watch Eric “I -don’t-want-to-say-anything-negative-about-a-religion” Holder play deaf and dumb (“what?”) as he can’t bring himself to acknowledge the reason that jihadists (another forbidden word) do what they do.

Obviously this administration is more worried about Tea Parties and Arizona enforcing the federal government’s own laws against illegal aliens than about jihadists waging war on us.

America has already had more domestic jihadist attacks in 15 months under Obama than Bush had in the seven years after 9-11.

Kagan’s friends swear she’s not a switch hitter

Ever since the Wall Street Journal ran an old photo of Kagan playing softball, her old friends have been leaping to her defense, swearing that she’s not a lesbian. (Who knew that enjoying softball was a sure indicator of homosexuality?).

The Wall Street Journal insists they were not implying that Elena Kagan is a switchhitter

We really don’t care about Elena Kagan’s sexual orientation. In fact, it’s a subject on which we’d prefer to remain blissfully ignorant. There mere thought of it puts shivers up our spines.

But ever since the Wall Street Journal ran an old photo of Kagan playing softball, her old friends have been leaping to her defense, swearing that she’s not a lesbian. (Who knew that enjoying softball was a sure indicator of homosexuality?).

Politico.com provides too much information:

“I’ve known her for most of her adult life and I know she’s straight,” said Sarah Walzer, Kagan’s roommate in law school and a close friend since then. “She dated men when we were in law school, we talked about men — who in our class was cute, who she would like to date, all of those things. She definitely dated when she was in D.C. after law school, when she was in Chicago – and she just didn’t find the right person.”…

Another friend, former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, a member of Kagan’s social circle at Princeton University, wanted to make the same point as Walzer. “I did not go out with her, but other guys did,” he said in an email Tuesday night. “I don’t think it is my place to say more.”…

Walzer recalled “discussion about who she might be interested in – the usual girl talk stuff– talk about how to get his attention.”

Just as Freud said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar,” we say that sometimes “sliding headfirst into home plate” is just a description of a play in softball and not a sexual euphemism.

Far as we’re concerned, being a lesbian shouldn’t disqualify Kagan from being on the Supreme Court. But being friends with a scumball like Eliot Spitzer for 30 years is another matter.

Holy moly. Government makes senior citizens choose between salvation and starvation

If you’re a senior citizen who’s fallen on hard times and you’ve been praying for a free meal, stop praying. You’re violating the constitutionally-guaranteed separation of church and hunger.

If you’re a senior citizen who’s fallen on hard times and you’ve been praying for a free meal, stop praying. You’re violating the constitutionally-guaranteed separation of church and hunger. (We’re not constitutional scholars like President Obama, so we’re not quite sure exactly where that prohibition is spelled out our founding document.)

WSB-TV reports the story of political correctness run amok:

Preston Blackwelder proudly showed off a painting of his grandmother that had hung next to the front door of his Port Wentworth home.

She was the woman who led him to God, Blackwelder said Friday.

And with that firm religious footing, Blackwelder said it would be preposterous to stop praying before meals at Port Wentworth’s Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah because of a federal guideline.

“She would say pray anyway,” Blackwelder said of his grandmother. “She’d say don’t listen.”

But Senior Citizens Inc. officials said Friday the meals they are contracted by the city to provide to Ed Young visitors are mostly covered with federal money, which ushers in the burden of separating church and state.

On Thursday, the usual open prayer before meals at the center was traded in for a moment of silence.

The dilemma is being hashed out by the Port Wentworth city attorney, said Mayor Glenn “Pig” Jones.

Tim Rutherford, Senior Citizens Inc. vice president, said some of his staff recently visited the center and noticed people praying shortly before lunch was served. Rutherford said his company provides meals like baked chicken, steak tips and rice and salads at a cost of about $6 a plate. Seniors taking the meals pay 55 cents and federal money foots the rest of the bill, Rutherford said.

“We can’t scoff at their rules,” he said of federal authorities. “It’s a part of the operational guidelines.”

Just another example of those damn bitter clingers, stubbornly clinging to their religion and their appetites.

Congressman says women are pissed at lack of potty parity, won’t take it sitting down

Sure, the economy’s going to hell in the proverbial hand basket and oil is still spewing up from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico and Iran’s about to get nuclear weapons, but the Congress of the United States is spending its time on more important issues. Like potty parity in federal buildings.

Princess Pelosi royal courtiers think federal buildings need more thrones

Sure, the economy’s going to hell in the proverbial hand basket and oil is still spewing up from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico and Iran’s about to get nuclear weapons, but the Congress of the United States is spending its time on more important issues. Like potty parity in federal buildings.

Fox News has the details (and please note the remarkable pun in the opening sentence):

Men may still be left holding their peanuts at the ballpark while waiting for their dates in the ladies room, but a House panel on Wednesday was considering whether to rectify the disparity in wait times for the loo in federal buildings.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held hearings Wednesday on the “Potty Parity Act,” a bill that seeks to address the unequal number of restroom facilities for women in federal buildings by requiring at least a 1-to-1 ratio for toilets, including urinals, in women’s and men’s restrooms.

Supporters of the bill say women forced to wait in long restroom lines are at risk of health issues, including abdominal pain, cystitis and other urinary tract infections.

“A lot of times people, when I dealt with this bill, called it ‘potty parity.’ They made jokes,” said Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., who proposed similar legislation as a state lawmaker that was enacted in the 1990s.

“The fact is, it’s not a joke. Not only is it not a joke to women, it’s not a joke to men who go with the women who have to wait while they’re standing in line,” he said. “It’s also politically very popular. It’s the right thing to do and it’s catching up with the cultural lag in our society.”

Far be it from us to criticize the House of Representatives and its noble work, but with all the other crises going on in the world, it seems to us that this is the ultimate example of congress getting a little behind in its work.
