Keith Olbermann often read James Thurber to his dying father. We’re pretty sure that if we could get our hands on Dad Olbermann’s death certificate, the cause of death would be listed as “Boredom.”

Knee slappers. Real knee slappers. If by “knee slapper” you really mean stuff designed to drive viewers to the remote control.
The only possible answer for this remarkably self-indulgent presentation is that Olbermann has photos of NBC executives at that bestiality farm in Washington. The only possible answer.
Start storing up your canned goods and bottled water, Hollywood. Based on this news just in from Tehran, you’re about to be devastated by the worst earthquakes in history.
"I feel the earth move under my feet, I feel the sky tumblin' down, tumblin' down"
Start storing up your canned goods and bottled water, Hollywood. Based on this news just in from Tehran, you’re about to be devastated by the worst earthquakes in history.
The Australian sizes up the seismographic details:
A SENIOR Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital sex, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported today.
“Many women who dress inappropriately … cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes,” Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at overnight prayers in Tehran.
“Calamities are the result of people’s deeds,” he was quoted as saying by reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper.
“We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers.”
The Poles are pissed. And who can blame them? President Obama used volcanic ash as an excuse to play golf instead of attending the funeral of Polish President Lech Kaczynski.
Obama honored Lech Kaczynski by using body Polish instead of body English
The Poles are pissed. And who can blame them? President Obama used volcanic ash as an excuse to play golf instead of attending the funeral of Polish President Lech Kaczynski.
The Washington Times has the details:
On a cool but sun-drenched Sunday, the president and three golfing companions went to Andrews Air Force Base to play 18 holes. It is the 32nd time Mr. Obama has played golf since taking office Jan. 20, 2009, according to CBS Radio’s Mark Knoller.
After canceling the Poland trip on Saturday, the White House announced that Mr. Obama had no public schedule for Sunday. He was to have arrived in Krakow in the morning, attend the 2 p.m. funeral and leave for home by 5 p.m., arriving back at the White House after midnight.
Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife, Maria, along with dozens of top Polish government officials were killed April 10 when their airplane went down in heavy fog after clipping a tree on approach to Smolensk, Russia.
Mr. Obama has not gone to the Polish Embassy in Washington since the accident, but Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. both have. There, they signed a condolence book.
French President Sarkozy and German Chancellor Merkel also used the volcanic ash as an excuse to cancel. But other world leaders managed to get to Poland using alternate methods of transportation.
Russian President Medvedev flew from Moscow for the funeral. The President of Slovenian drove 500 miles to Krakow. The Romanian President helicoptered to northwestern Romania, then drove through Hungary and Slovakia. The Estonian Prime Minister made an 18-hour drive to the funeral. The President of the Czech Republic traveled by car and train. And Viktor Yushchenko, former President of the Ukraine, left Kiev with his wife early Saturday morning to make the long drive to Poland.
President Obama said, “Hey, I made a long drive, too. Nearly 200 yards on the 7th hole.”
When asked about the memo on Fox News Sunday, McCain snorted and said what everyone is thinking – he didn’t need a secret memo to know something so obvious.
A memo leaked to the New York Times reveals that Defense Secretary Robert Gates says President Obama has no plan for dealing with Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Reporter Jay Barbree apparently forgot where he worked for a moment and criticized President Obama for excluding NASA employees from a speech about NASA employees. (Of course, Obama had to exclude them because they would have known he was lying about protecting their jobs).
Half of this equation is surprising, but the other half is to be expected.
Reporter Jay Barbree apparently forgot where he worked for a moment and criticized President Obama for excluding NASA employees from a speech about NASA employees. (Of course, Obama had to exclude them because they would have known he was lying about protecting their jobs).
Not to worry, though, Obama Kool-Aid drinkers. Anchor Alex Witt jumped in quickly to defend Obama and deliver the official MSNBC party line.
Barbree: But I’m a little disturbed right now, Alex. I just found out some very disturbing news. The President came down here in his campaign and told these 15,000 workers here at the Space Center that if they would vote for him, that he would protect their jobs. 9,000 of them are about to lose their job. He is speaking before 200, extra hundred people here today only. It’s invitation only. He has not invited a single space worker from this space port to attend. It’s only academics and other high officials from outside of the country. Not one of them is invited to hear the President of the United States, on their own space port, speak today. Back to you Alex.
Witt: Alright Jay I can understand why that would certainly get you a bit upset. I will say, on behalf of the Obama administration, they contend that 2500 new jobs will be created, even more, they say, than the 2012 Constellation would have created, that program. So I know all this remains to be seen, but understandably we get why you’re upset, right now. Along with many others down there. Let’s see if the President clears that up later today. Jay thanks so much.
When Obama begins losing one of his party’s most reliable voting blocs, it’s bad news for the Democrats. And pretty damn good news for Israel.
You think? You actually think Jews might look at Obama’s Palestinian policy and contrast it with his Israeli policy and start to think that this president might not have Israel’s best interests at heart?
According to a new poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, a plurality of Jewish voters would now consider someone else for President. Here are the specifics:

Democrats used “cowboy” as the ultimate insult to George Bush. Now – gasp – Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has used the same word to insult Barack Obama.
November, 2012. Let's all sing "Happy Trails" to Barack Obama.
Democrats used “cowboy” as the ultimate insult to George Bush. Now – gasp – Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has used the same word to insult Barack Obama.
The Associated Press has this news round-up:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad derided Obama on Wednesday, depicting him as an ineffective leader influenced by Israel to target Iran more aggressively.
“American materialist politicians, whenever they are beaten by logic, immediately resort to their weapons like cowboys,” Ahmadinejad said in a speech before a crowd of several thousand in northwestern Iran.
“Mr. Obama, you are a newcomer (to politics). Wait until your sweat dries and get some experience. Be careful not to read just any paper put in front of you or repeat any statement recommended,” Ahmadinejad said in the speech, aired live on state TV.
Something may have been lost in the translation, but we think Ahmadinejad is saying, “Stop watching MSNBC, Buckeroo. Give Fox a try.”
“Sure, I’ve pissed off Neil Armstrong and threatened the jobs of thousands of aerospace workers, but let’s put that behind us and concentrate on the important tasks. Like landing on an asteroid.”
Please allow us to translate the comments made by the President’s teleprompter on Thursday:
“Sure, I’ve pissed off Neil Armstrong and threatened the jobs of thousands of aerospace workers, but let’s put that behind us and concentrate on the important tasks. Like landing on an asteroid.”
Asteroid. Which rhymes with hemorrhoid. Which seems more appropriate.
Especially since the President made these comments before a hand-picked group of Democrat supporters and excluded actual NASA employees who are impacted by his policies.
MSNBC’s Alex Witt graduated from the University of Southern California, but apparently slept through her geology class. In this clip she interviews a geologist and is shocked – absolutely shocked – to learn that an eruption can last for a year or more.

As Planet Gore said, “It’s always illuminating when the people who tell us nightly about the absolute certainty of anthropogenic climate-change demonstrate their ignorance about how the Earth works.”

Our fourth grade teacher always said, “If someone has to tell you how honest they are, they probably aren’t.” The corollary is probably, “If someone has to tell you how humble they are, they probably aren’t.”
Our fourth grade teacher always said, “If someone has to tell you how honest they are, they probably aren’t.” The corollary is probably, “If someone has to tell you how humble they are, they probably aren’t.”
President Obama, for example, when he told an Australian interviewer that he and Prime Minister Rudd are both so damned smart and humble.
Reporter: One of your state department officials said there was meeting of minds between you and Kevin Rudd. Is there a meeting of minds (with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd)?
Obama: I really think there is. Kevin is somebody who I probably share as much of a world view as any world leader out there. I find him smart, but humble. He works wonderfully well in multilateral settings. He’s always constructive, incisive and he is like me a pragmatic person. He comes to the job wanting to provide better opportunities not just for this generation but for the next. But, I think he is somebody who isn’t an academic or thinking about abstract ideas. I think he’s constantly thinking in practical terms about how to get something done.
If there were ever two leaders who have every reason in the world to be humble, it would have to be Barack Obama and his down under doppelganger, Kevin Rudd.

Joe Biden is the perfect liberal. His 2009 tax return shows that he’s a lot more generous with other people’s money than he is with his own.
Joe Biden is very generous with other people's money, but not so much with his own.

WhiteHouse.gov reports the details of the cheap Veep’s lack of charity:
The Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden also released their 2009 federal income tax returns, as well as state income tax returns for both Delaware and Virginia. They filed joint federal and Delaware income tax returns. Dr. Biden filed a separate non-resident tax return for the state of Virginia. Together, they reported an adjusted gross income of $333,182. The Bidens paid $71,147 in federal income taxes for 2009. They paid $12,420 in Delaware income taxes and $1,477 in Virginia income taxes. The Bidens contributed $4,820 to charity, in both monetary and in-kind donations.
$4,820 is paltry enough based on Biden’s income. But note the words “in-kind” in that paragraph. That undoubtedly means that instead of donating cash, Biden loaded up a truckload of old shoes and a pile of his unsold and uninteresting books and took them down to his local Goodwill office.
Actress (or “actor” as the Hollywood non-sexists now prefer) Sigourney Weaver says James Cameron lost the Academy Award because “he doesn’t have breasts.”
Teddy Kennedy was robbed. We demand a posthumous Oscar for the late Massachusetts senator.
Actress (or “actor” as the Hollywood non-sexists now prefer) Sigourney Weaver says James Cameron lost the Academy Award because “he doesn’t have breasts.”
The Telegraph UK has the subcutaneous details:
The 60-year-old, who starred in the film, also said that Avatar missed out because it is unfashionable to give the Oscar to big Hollywood blockbusters.
In an interview with a Brazilian news website, Weaver said the Academy’s choice of best director was motivated by the fact that a woman had never won the prize.
“Jim didn’t have breasts, and I think that was the reason,” Weaver told Folha Online. “He should have taken home that Oscar,” she said.
We say this is preposterous. If Hollywood handed out Oscars based on breasts, Teddy Kennedy would have won one long before Al Gore.

Hmmmm. Very odd. We finally learn in paragraph eleven that former New Jersey Assemblyman Neil Cohen shared an office with two Democrats, but the pervert’s actual political affiliation is left to our imagination.
Neil Cohen (center). You can't judge a book by its cover, but this guy looks like a dirty book
Hmmmm. Very odd. We finally learn in paragraph eleven that former New Jersey Assemblyman Neil Cohen shared an office with two Democrats, but the pervert’s actual political affiliation is left to our imagination.
Former New Jersey Assemblyman Neil Cohen today pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography in a deal that may send him to prison for five years.
Cohen, 59, trudged into the Trenton courthouse this morning for an early hearing and answered the judge’s question in a low voice, almost a mumble.
You could call it an oversight. Or you could call it selective editing. Or you could stop kidding yourself and call it blatant bias.
Drill, baby, drill. And the sooner, the better.
You could call it an oversight. Or you could call it selective editing. Or you could stop kidding yourself and call it blatant bias.
The Wall Street Journal explains the details:
Grist.org, a global warmist Web site, has a piece on a poll asking Americans whether they favor more offshore oil drilling. A majority of all respondents say yes, as do a majority of almost all demographic subgroups: Republicans, independents, Democrats, people over 65, people 30 to 65, whites, blacks, men and women. The only groups among which more drilling has only minority support are Hispanics and those under 30.
Here’s how Grist headlines the story: “Offshore Drilling Most Popular Among Republicans, Elderly, White, and Wealthy.”
The headline is technically accurate. But to be more precise, they should have added, “And least popular among editors of global warming websites.”
Henry Waxman didn’t realize that the companies are required to make announcements as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley regulations that he had supported. So Joe Barton straightened out Waxman.
We love Texas congressman Joe Barton. And this video clip demonstrates why.
Waxman was pissed that companies like AT&T, Caterpillar, John Deere and Verizon blamed ObamaCare for billions of dollars in unexpected charges, so the little weasel ordered them to appear before Congress to explain themselves.
Congressional intimidation at its finest.
Apparently, Waxman didn’t realize that the companies are required to make those announcements as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley regulations that he had supported.
So Barton went down on the floor of the House and, shall we say, straightened out Waxman.

The bad news is that Larry King is heading for divorce court for the eighth time. The good news is that he’ll soon be looking for lucky wife number nine. And what woman wouldn’t be attracted to this god who walks among mere mortals?
Good god, what would a hunk like Larry King be doing with a hideous woman like that?
The bad news is that Larry King is heading for divorce court for the eighth time. The good news is that he’ll soon be looking for lucky wife number nine. And what woman wouldn’t be attracted to this god who walks among mere mortals?
The Associated Press reports the details of the talkmeister’s impending availability:
Larry King filed for divorce on Wednesday shortly before his seventh wife also sought to end the couple’s nearly 13-year-old marriage. The 76-year-old host of CNN’s “Larry King Live” filed hours before Shawn King filed her own petition. Both cited “irreconcilable differences.”
The couple were married in a hospital room in 1997 three days before Larry King underwent surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel. They have two sons, ages 11 and 9. The petitions differ in that Larry King is seeking joint custody, while his 50-year-old wife wants physical custody.
Larry King is also asking a judge not to award his wife any spousal support and to invalidate an agreement in which he transferred property to her, court records show.
Shawn King’s petition seeks spousal support from her husband, along with ownership of the couple’s home in Beverly Hills, Calif., and two properties in Utah.
“His major concern is the welfare of his children,” said Howard Rubenstein, a spokesman for Larry King, adding that the talk-show host would not comment further on the divorce.
There is no truth to the rumor that King sidled up to an attractive bailiff after the hearing and rasped, “Come here often, honey?”
