Here are two examples from Wednesday’s interview with Larry King:
“I’ve been really impressed with the success we’ve had building on the last administration in dealing with these (terrorist attacks).”
What? Say what? What the hell? Did he really say that the Bush administration was successful in combating terrorist attacks? Obama’s going to have to take Joe to the woodshed again.
“Someone just strapping on a backpack of them with explosives that are indigenous.”
What? Say what? What the hell? Indigenous explosives. What the hell are indigenous explosives?
Interview over now? Somebody wake up Larry King and tell him it’s time to go home.
If you want an accurate forecast on global climate change, you need to stick your head somewhere else – like a Michael Mann lecture.

If you want an accurate forecast on global climate change, you need to stick your head somewhere else – like a Michael Mann lecture.
Except when frigid temperatures (the result of global warming) and record amounts of snow (also the result of global warming) cancel the performance…uhhhh… the colloquium on climate change.
Mann, Penn State climatologist and lead suspect in the ClimateGate controversy, was slated to tell students at the University of Penn how the world was growing hotter. But according to an email to Instapundit, Mann’s colloquium has been cancelled for the most ironic of reasons:
“Today, Michael Mann was scheduled to give a colloquium on climate change at the University of Pennsylvania, where I am a graduate student. As you may know, Philadelphia has been hit by multiple snowstorms in the past week. Today, for what I am told is the first time since the mid-1990s, the university suspended normal operations due to snow, and his colloquium on climate change has been postponed.”
University officials are currently beseeching Gaia for mercy so that they can re-schedule the lecture.

Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia says Barack Obama is not believable to him any more.30
Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia – that’s Democrat Senator Jay Rockefeller – was speaking in a committee meeting when he made the following comment about President Obama:
“He says ‘I’m for clean coal,’ and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn’t say it in here. And he doesn’t say it in the minds of my own people. And he’s beginning to not be believable to me.”
Reality slowly begins to sink in.

The world is saved. Now there’s a website that teaches you how to recycle your sex toys to save the planet.
The world is saved. Now there’s a website that teaches you how to recycle your sex toys to save the planet.
Let’s just let SexToyRecycling.com speak for itself, because lord knows we couldn’t come up with anything nearly this creative:
Recycling your sex toys is just one way you can combine your passion in the bedroom with your love for the environment. Here are some other ecologically responsible alternatives.
Glass or metal sex toys are eco-friendly, durable, and often beautifully designed. Their production process is relatively non-toxic and has little environmental impact, and they will outlast their rubber counterparts many times over. Other accessories like paddles are available in recycled rubber and sustainably harvested, ecologically treated wood.
You can decrease the use of petroleum and its derivatives by using organic lubes and massage oils. Also, when buying lingerie or fetish wear, avoid petroleum derived synthetic materials like polyester and nylon in favor of natural fibers such as cotton and silk. If you have a battery-powered vibrator, buy a set of rechargeable batteries; standard batteries contain extremely toxic and corrosive chemicals.
If you need a sex toy there may be one closer than you think, in your refrigerator or around the house. Fruits and vegetables like bananas and cucumbers make a simple and inexpensive substitute for a dildo. Many common items like electric toothbrushes or hairbrush handles can also be used for pleasure. And with a little imagination and ingenuity, you can create improvised sex toys and give a second life to materials like plastic bags, shampoo bottles, toilet paper tubes, and rubber gloves.
The website’s “About Us” page is even more enlightening:
Our vision was inspired by an open trash bin full of discarded sex toys. Dildos, vibrators, and anal toys – an entire collection – had been thrown away with other rubbish. What a waste. What if there was some way to recycle sex toys that people didn’t want any longer? This is how the idea for Sex Toy Recycling was born.
WTF? What kind of neighborhood do they live in where the trash bins are full of discarded sex toys?
Sign us up. Because we’re really eager to use someone stranger’s discarded anal toy.
(To tell the truth, we’re not even sure what an anal toy is, but we suspect that the asses who run SexToyRecycling.com are intimately familiar with the subject.)

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of likely voters believe, generally speaking, that it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November.
Vote the bums out. That’s the clear message being sent by most American voters. And they’re looking straight at congress when they say it.
Rasmussen tells the terrifying tale for incumbents:
Most voters think the country would be better off if the majority of the current Congress wasn’t reelected this November, and their confidence in their own congressman continues to fall.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of likely voters believe, generally speaking, that it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November.
Just 19% disagree and say it would be better if most congressional incumbents were reelected. Another 18% aren’t sure.The Political Class strongly rejects these views, however. While 78% of Mainstream voters say it would be better for the country if most of the current Congress was turned out of office, 89% of the Political Class think it would be better if most were reelected.
Political class. Two words that are increasing contradictory.

You are a conservative because you’re impractical, irrational and immoral. That’s the only logical conclusion to draw from comments made by Jere P. Surber.
That’s the only logical conclusion to draw from comments made by Jere P. Surber, a pointy-headed professor of philosophy at the University of Denver, as he explained why academics are liberals:
It is because we liberal-arts professors … have carefully studied the actual dynamics of history and culture; and we have trained ourselves to think in complex, nuanced, and productive ways about the human condition that so many of us are liberals …
We’re here and mostly liberal by practical deliberation, factual investigation, and rational and moral conviction.
Shut the hell up, Surber.
Because in addition to being impractical, irrational and immoral, we conservatives are also a little testy.

What could possibly make for better entertainment than Rachel Maddow giving a forum to pop science icon Bill Nye on global warming?
What could possibly make for better entertainment than Rachel Maddow giving a forum to pop science icon Bill Nye?
Nye reveals a unique scientific theory that says believing in the science behind global warming is patriotic. And vice versa.
“…there’s more energy in the atmosphere and this is stirring things up,” Nye said. “If you want to get serious about it, these guys claiming that the snow in Washington disproves climate change are almost unpatriotic. It’s really, they’re denying science. So they’re very happy to have the weather forecast be accurate within a few hours, but they’re displeased or un-enchanted by predictions of the world getting warmer. It’s really, it shakes me up.”
We think Rachel Maddow may have said something, too, but we had really kind of checked out by that time.
At one time, CNN owned the world of cable news. Now its primetime line-up has fewer viewers than Fox News’ 3 a.m. Red Eye show.

At one time, the cable news pioneer owned the world of cable news. Now its primetime line-up has fewer viewers than Fox News’ 3 a.m. Red Eye show.
National Review’s Media Blog reports the details guaranteed to depress the folks at CNN:
The ratings for Fox News’ ribald Red Eye, a nothing-else-quite-like-it mash-up of news, comedy, and pop-culture commentary, celebrated its third anniversary by beating CNN’s Campbell Brown and Larry King, and tying Anderson Cooper, in the prized 25-54 demographic.
Fox News beating CNN wouldn’t be news, except that Brown, King and Cooper comprise CNN’s primetime lineup, and Red Eye airs at 3:00 A.M. All the more remarkable considering that most conservatives have, you know, jobs.
Ouch.

The Hardball host Chris Matthews started his Monday show with a twelve-minute rant against Sarah Palin because she put crib notes on her hand instead of putting a whole speech on a Teleprompter.
Pity poor Chris Matthews. He’s lost his mind. Completely lost his mind.
The Hardball host started his Monday show with a twelve-minute rant against Sarah Palin because she put crib notes on her hand instead of putting a whole speech on a Teleprompter.
Matthews: Good evening. I`m Chris Matthews in New York. Leading off tonight: Can a palm reader be president? What do we think of kids in school who write stuff on their hands to get through a test? What do we think of a would-be political leader who does it to look like she`s speaking without notes? What do we think of Sarah Palin this weekend answering pre-screened questions from a like-minded audience in Nashville, a tea party convention, and still having to put a cheat sheet on her palm to answer what she calls the basics of her beliefs? How can someone presume to be auditioning for president when they can`t even answer questions they know are coming?
That was just the opening. It got worse. Much worse.
As the ratings go lower, MSNBC gets shriller. If that’s possible.

President Obama thought he could add some “balance” to his most recent press conference by calling on MSNBC.
According to a recent poll, FOX News is the most “trusted name in news,” no matter what CNN’s advertising department might say.
Yet somehow the President Obama thought he could add some “balance” to his most recent press conference by calling on MSNBC.
We’re just afraid that Obama’s version of balance means the previous question came from someone so liberal that MSNBC only seemed conservative by comparison.

Obama’s comment sounded stupid then. It sounded just as stupid over the course of the last two years when he said he wanted to engage Iran with no pre-conditions and they blew him off. And it sounds even more stupid now that the Iranian government has announced that it has enriched weapons grade uranimum.
Who the hell voted for this guy?

Joy Behar and Eve Ensler discuss how global warming causes earthquakes and tsunamis. And while we’re at it, Sarah Palin is stupid.
You can always count on Joy Behar and her guests to say something so stunningly stupid that you find yourself laughing out loud.
Like last night, for example. Eve Ensler, author of “The Vagina Monologues,” visited Behar’s studio to stake her claim on Stupidest Comment of the Year here in early February.
A transcript follows, but let us sum it up for you. Global warming causes earthquakes and tsunamis. And while we’re at it, Sarah Palin is stupid.
Ensler: Well, I just think the idea that she doesn’t believe in global warming is bizarre.
Behar: Every scientist at every note believes in it but Sarah Palin doesn’t believe in it.
Ensler: And I think we just kind of have to walk around the world at this point and look at what is happening to nature and earthquakes and tsunamis.
Behar: Right.
Ensler: And weather changes to just feel it. But I think that idea that she doesn’t believe in global warming and she could actually run for vice president, and we have a country where that is possible, it seems insane.
Behar: It’s unbelievable. It does seem insane and the fact that she has not negated the possibility of running in 2012.
Ensler: But we have. We have negated the possibility of her winning.
100% pure geniuses.

To put it bluntly, the week of February 1 – 5 was an unmitigated disaster at MSNBC.
Just when you start to think MSNBC can’t sink any lower in the ratings, those lunatic liberals surprise you by doing it again.
To put it bluntly, the week of February 1 – 5 was an unmitigated disaster at MSNBC.
Schultz’ total audience for the week was only 2,402,000 viewers. Maddow’s total viewers for a full week fell under 4,000,000 for the first time (3,922,000).
On top of that, Keith Olbermann’s audience, which once neared 1,500,000 viewers per night, fell under 1,000,000 viewers four of the five nights.
In an effort to demonstrate our commitment to a greener world, we hereby request that MSNBC’s last viewer turn out the lights on their way out the door.

Magazines like Newsweek and Time are dying. And left wing weekly news magazines are dying faster than most. The New York Times, of all places, reports the story.
Alert the death panel. Magazines are dying. And left wing weekly news magazines are dying faster than most.
The New York Times, of all places, reports the story:
Magazines’ newsstand sales plummeted in the last six months of 2009, and subscriptions dropped as well.
Newsstand sales for the 472 consumer titles in the United States measured by the Audit Bureau of Circulations declined 9.1 percent, to 39.3 million, in the last half of 2009 versus the same period a year earlier, the organization reported this morning. That follows an 11.12 percent decline from July through December 2007 compared to July through December 2008.
Some of the well-known titles with dramatic single-copy declines included W, down 41.7 percent to about 25,000 for an average issue; Newsweek, down 41.3 percent to about 62,000 (Newsweek had decreased the number of copies on sale, noted a spokesman) ; SmartMoney, down 37 percent to about 26,000; Time, down 34.9 percent to about 90,000; Good Housekeeping, down 30.7 percent to 395,000; and Redbook, down 30.1 percent to 126,000.
Hilarious. Newsweek says its circulation decreased because they reduced the number of copies on sale. We’re no publishing geniuses, but it seems to us that they may have that sequence of events reversed.

Chuck Todd, NBC’s political director and chief White House correspondent really didn’t like it when Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon appeared on Fox News Sunday and said, “…the mainstream media hates the tea party movement almost as much as it hates Sarah Palin.”
Chuck Todd, NBC’s political director and chief White House correspondent really didn’t like it when Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon appeared on Fox News Sunday and said, “…the mainstream media hates the tea party movement almost as much as it hates Sarah Palin.”
Now any rational person would say that statement is inarguable. Nevertheless, Todd chose to argue the inarguable on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
Todd: We all know there are a lot of different ways people get news. And then you have straight journalists, you have activist journalists, you have opinion folks. And we know that they’re all out there. I think we believe here at NBC that people are smart enough to figure it out. And that’s why when a news executive goes out there and states a crazy accusation like that, that it ends up, it only ends up probably hurting what they’re trying to do, but it creates, it only denigrates all of us.
. . .
And I’m sorry, there is certain news organizations out here whose agenda is to undermine the 90% of journalists who are just simply trying to cover stories out there. And that’s what really frustrates me about what’s happened in the media landscape. It is a business for some media organizations to undermine the quote-unquote the mainstream media because it’s good for their business. And this is not just on the right, it’s happening on the left as well.
Pardon us while we laugh.
MSNBC is surely the wrong place to make this argument, Chuck. The ratings-challenged network is doing an admirable job undermining itself with absolutely no assistance from Fox.

The Obama administration debuts its new NOAA global warming track service during the worst blizzard in decades.
There are times you just know that God has a sense of humor. Like when the Obama administration debuts its new NOAA global warming track service during the worst blizzard in decades.
CleanSkies.com reveals the chilly details:
Commerce Secretary Gary Locke has proposed the creation of an NOAA Climate Service, an office of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration that would unify all the agency’s climate science and data.
Locke said the office would integrate the agency’s climate science and services and make them more accessible.
“By providing critical planning information that our businesses and our communities need, NOAA Climate Service will help tackle head-on the challenges of mitigating and adapting to climate change,” said Locke. “In the process, we’ll discover new technologies, build new businesses and create new jobs.”
The office would coordinate data collected by NOAA researchers throughout the world, including predictions about both short- and long-term global changes and information on how U.S. resources can best be used to adapt to climate change and produce renewable energy.
Unfortunately, very few reporters were able to attend Locke’s press conference because two feet of snow had not yet been cleared from the roads around Washington, DC.
