California Rep. Anna Eshoo claims former Vice President Dick Cheney ran a super-secret international assassination ring. No proof of course.
Rep. Anna Eshoo of California is even wackier than most of California’s Democratic congressional contingent. And that’s quite an accomplishment.
Eshoo claims former Vice President Dick Cheney was in charge of some very dastardly deeds. Cheney, she says, ran a super-secret international assassination ring.
Who are these people Cheney had offed? Eshoo doesn’t say. But off the top of our heads, we can’t recall any enemy heads of state who were taken out during the Bush years. We can’t even recall anyone accusing us of committing any assassinations. So we can only assume that the people the nefarious Cheney had assassinated were bad guys. So bad that even their own governments won’t ‘fess up to their assassinations.
“This must be investigated,” Eshoo proclaimed.
We agree. And if it’s true, give Cheney a damn medal for ridding the world of scum.
After adjusting for inflation, the state now spends nearly 20% more per capita than it did 18 years ago; even as California’s tax revenues increased by 167% during that period, state spending exploded by 189%.
Arnold ain't what he used to be. Neither is California.
They always say, “As California goes, so goes the nation.” And California’s going bankrupt.
How could the ninth largest economy in the world go so wrong so fast? Here’s how RealClearPolitics.com sums it up:
“Ultimately, any honest assessment of California’s plight must assign responsibility for the state’s fiscal crisis – not to the taxpayers who voted for Prop. 13 three decades ago – but to the politicians who have subsequently exploited them without mercy. Indeed, if spending had simply reflected average population growth plus the average increase in the cost of living since 1991, there would now be a $15 billion surplus. After adjusting for inflation, the state now spends nearly 20% more per capita than it did 18 years ago; even as California’s tax revenues increased by 167% during that period, state spending exploded by 189%.”
We’d say they spent like drunken sailors, but we don’t want to insult any drunken sailors.
Barack Obama, the Greatest President in History, Greatest Astronaut in History, and Greatest Lover in History, has now taken his place alongside other animatronic Commanders-in-Chief in the Hall of Presidents at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

It will be a show your children will never forget. They’ll see George Washington, who couldn’t tell a lie. They’ll see Bill Clinton, who couldn’t tell the truth. And now they’ll see Barack Obama, who can’t tell the difference.
(By the way, is it our imagination or does that animatronic Obama look more like NBC’s Lester Holt with a Barack Obama ear graft?)
“Obama’s ‘Green jobs’ adviser Van Jones a leftist agenda as a panacea for all of society’s problems: train to make solar cells, helping to harvest the sun, heal the land, and repair our souls.
The Obama administration’s solar energy plan is so ludicrous that we fear you may think we made it up. In fact, it’s so ludicrous that we wish we’d made it up. Unfortunately, it’s real.
Here’s how FrontPageMagazine.com explains it: “Obama’s ‘Green jobs’ adviser Van Jones has presented this leftist agenda as a panacea for all of society’s problems: ‘We imagine formerly incarcerated people moving from jail cells to solar cells—helping to harvest the sun, heal the land, and repair our souls.'”
Got that? Harvest the sun, heal the land, repair our souls.
Looks like the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter is aligned with Mars and the sun is about to shine in. The Summer of Love is back. Let’s meditate with Maharishi Obama.
Peace, love, happiness, and the Fifth Dimension.

Researchers have come across a magazine article written 26 years ago by Columbia student Barack Obama. Full transcript here. It was the height of the Cold War and Obama came up with a plan for the two super powers to “dial down the danger humanity faces.” In short, nuclear disarmament.
Would you feel safer knowing that your nation’s nuclear policy was dreamed up by a naïve college student? We hope your answer was “yes,” because that’s exactly where you find yourself today.
The President is in Russia to work out a deal on nuclear arms reduction. It’s part of his long time vision of a nuclear-free world – the same vision he’s had since he was smoking dope and getting high in college.
Researchers have come across a magazine article written 26 years ago by Columbia student Barack Obama. It was the height of the Cold War and Obama came up with a plan for the two super powers to “dial down the danger humanity faces.” In short, nuclear disarmament.
One would hope that our leaders would become more sophisticated in their thinking as the years roll on and they gain maturity. But no such luck with Obama.
We don’t mind if the President wants to live in the past as long as it doesn’t interfere with us living in the future.
The Obama administration made a big show out of announcing an agreement in which the nation’s hospitals agreed to sacrifice $155 billion (with a “b”) in future Medicare and Medicaid expenses.
The Obama Shell Game™, coming soon to an industry near you
The Obama administration made a big show out of announcing an agreement in which the nation’s hospitals agreed to sacrifice $155 billion (with a “b”) in future Medicare and Medicaid expenses.
This was supposed to be one of the lynchpins of Obama’s healthcare plan, clear evidence that this bloated fiasco could be paid for with cost cuts rather than tax increases.
Except for one thing: It’s all smoke and mirrors. Here’s how the Associated Press reported it:
Of the $155 billion in projected savings from hospitals, about $40 billion to $50 billion would come from reducing federal payments hospitals receive for providing care to uninsured and low-income patients, according to lobbyists. Those payments are now made through the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Medicaid cuts would be apportioned by state, as 10 percent annual reductions beginning around 2015.
About $100 billion more would come from reductions in planned Medicare payments to hospitals. A small amount of savings would come from trimming the money hospitals get for preventing patients from being readmitted for additional care.
Hospitals would also get something out of the deal. They won an agreement that if the Finance Committee’s legislation includes a public health insurance plan, it would reimburse hospitals at above the rates Medicare and Medicaid pay, which hospitals have long complained are insufficient.
Got that? The nation’s hospitals have agreed to cut payments from the government in exchange for increased payments from the government.
Everybody sing along: “There’s no business like show business, if you tell me it’s so…”
Jack Cafferty said Alec Baldwin wasn’t qualified to run for office because he hadn’t gone to Harvard like Al Franken. Baldwin responded and it was great.
Tread lightly when Alec Baldwin when he gets that crazed look in his eyes
CNN’s Jack Cafferty has done the impossible. He made us agree with something Alec Baldwin said.
Cafferty said Baldwin wasn’t qualified to run for office because he hadn’t gone to Harvard like Al Franken. Baldwin responded at HuffingtonPost.com:
I would like to make a deal with Cafferty. Jack, you don’t tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office, and I won’t say publicly that your being convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in which you struck a cyclist and then ran two red lights while you were pursued by the police and were subsequently ordered to serve 70 hours of community service back in May of 2003 disqualifies you from posing as a “Man of the People” on a major cable news network.
Fair enough?
Can’t help but agree with Baldwin on this one. But in our defense, we don’t feel good about it.
The post racial society ushered in by the election of Barack Obama, our first semi-black president, is manifesting itself in very unexpected ways.
Albinos need not apply in the state of New York
The post racial society ushered in by the election of Barack Obama, our first semi-black president, is manifesting itself in very unexpected ways.
Fredric Dicker, a well-known New York political reporter, recently reported that:
During the first five months of this year, with the Senate under the control of its first African-American majority leader, [State Senator Malcolm] Smith, top Democrats bemoaned the lack of minority Senate staffers.
But instead of trying to recruit new hires, they fired nearly 200 almost exclusively white workers and replaced them with a large number of minority employees, many of whom were seen by their fellow workers to be unskilled at their new jobs.
The move produced severe racial tensions, made worse by the fact that, as a high-level Democratic staffer confided, “We’ve been told to only hire minorities.’’
Congratulations. You now live in post-racial America.
Now clean out your desk, Whitey. Pack your belongings, Honky. And don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way you, Cracker.
When was the last time you heard anything about the ACLU defending a church? Maybe never.
Well, Kansas-based Westboro Church is not your typical church. They’re the lunatics who stage disgusting protests at the funerals of American soldiers who die in combat.
Naturally, the ACLU thinks that’s just a dandy thing for them to do. It’s all about freedom of speech, you know. And cities who ban the protests are committing the ultimate constitutional sin – opposing an ACLU client. (We’re not sure which article of the constitution that clause is found, but it must be in there somewhere).
Here’s how St. Louis Today tells the story:
The American Civil Liberties Union sued Maplewood today on behalf of a controversial Kansas-based church that protests at the funerals of soldiers, alleging that the city’s funeral protest ban is unconstitutional.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in St. Louis, is a first in eastern Missouri but part of a broader effort by the ACLU to go after state and local laws that have been passed in recent years targeting funeral protests, said Tony Rothert, legal director of the ACLU of Eastern Missouri.
Missouri and Illinois are among the more than two dozen states and the federal government that have passed similar laws. Many, if not all, were prompted by the activities of the Westboro Baptist Church and founder Fred Phelps, who believe that America is being punished by the deaths of soldiers and others for its “tolerance” of homosexuality. Church members began protesting at the funerals of gays but then started protesting at soldiers’ funerals and carrying signs such as “Thank God For Dead Soldiers.”
Everything about these protests is vile. But the worst is the little boy in the bottom photo who’s carrying a sign that says, “FAG TROOPS.” What kind of horrible human being would take a small child into this situation and use them as a prop to hold such a sign?
We say let’s hire the ACLU to sue the Westboro Church for discriminating on the basis of sexual preference.
“The (California) governor (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is not against condiments. The governor’s not against fruits of any kind,” said spokesman Aaron McLear.
Arnold now has an overinflated opinion of himself. California voters know better.
No, this wasn’t a commentary on California’s Proposition 8. It was another example of California’s legislature fiddling while Sacramento burns.
White the state is $45 billion in debt with no apparent hope of balancing its budget, its legislature is debating the definition of condiments.
“The governor is not against condiments. The governor’s not against fruits of any kind,” said spokesman Aaron McLear. “But he believes we ought to be focused on solving our budget crisis first and foremost.”
Instead, the state Assembly spent Tuesday debating the creation of a commission to market the state’s blueberry industry and the definitions of honey and “100-percent pomegranate juice.”
“Look, we’re pro-condiment, we’re pro-fruit,” McLear said, “but the focus needs to be on the budget crisis.”
There was a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger called his political opponents girlymen. Now he’s become one of them, cowering in fear before the mighty force of the pro-condiment lobby.
Michelle Obama was spotted carrying a $5950 black alligator manila clutch made in Italy from the skin of an endangered alligator. So much for J Crew and Gap.
Michelle Obama's $5950 black alligator manila clutch
First of all, we must make a correction. It wasn’t a purse. It was a $5950 black alligator manila clutch made in Italy from the skin of an endangered alligator.
OK, we have to make another correction. We don’t actually know if alligators are endangered, but this particular alligator is definitely not basking in sunshine anymore.
Enough corrections. Let’s get to the story.
If you were strolling through the woods outside Moscow, you might carry a backpack and a compass. Not First Lady Michelle Obama. No, she showed off her expensive tastes in fashion by carrying that aforementioned $5950 black alligator manila clutch.
We’re not fluent in Italian, but as far as we can tell “manila clutch” is an Italian term that means “Crazy American with too much money.”
Exclusive IHateTheMedia.com photo of the black alligator who died so Michelle Obama could be fashionable
The First Lady has completely abandoned the pretense that she wears affordable American brands such as Gap and J.Crew. That story went up in a puff of smoke on election night and she’s rarely spotted anymore without some expensive designer bauble.
Michelle’s clutch was handmade in Italy VBH, the luxury leather goods company. And you’ll be happy to know it’s part of their Spring 2009 collection.
Michelle Obama. Today, First Lady. Tomorrow, Czarina.
President Obama’s G8 Global Warming Pact is non-binding. Got that? It’s non-binding. So non-binding, in fact, that Russia, which actually signed the treaty, has already said it has no intention of abiding by it.
Attendees at the recent G8 meetings in L'Aquila, Italy dined on polar bear tartare
This week, the global warming circus raised its tent at the G8 meetings in L’Aquila, Italy. According to the media, the world’s wisest leaders have saved the world by signing a new global warming pact.
Luckily, ABC News’ Jake Tapper cut through the crap and revealed a side of the story that’s absent from most reports and buried in others:
“The climate change provision sets a non-binding goal for a 50% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050, using 1990 levels or later years as a base, with a goal for developed countries of 80%. The document pledges cooperation to limit the rise in global temperatures to no more than 2 degrees Celsius or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.”
“But achieving this is far more difficult than writing it on a piece of paper as a pledge, particularly with developing nations balking at the goal and complaining that the industrialized world hasn’t followed through with aid and technology to help them reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
Got that? It’s non-binding. So non-binding, in fact, that Russia, which actually signed the treaty, has already said it has no intention of abiding by it.
Arkady Dvorkovich, the top economic advisor to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said, “For us the 80 per cent figure is unacceptable and likely unattainable. We won’t sacrifice economic growth for the sake of emission reduction.”
He might as well have been speaking for India and China who aren’t G8 members and who have already said, “Thanks, but no thanks. We’re with Russia on this one.”
So on one hand, the solution to global warming was all smoke and mirrors. On the other hand, the leaders of the G8 did manage to have some very nice dinners and treated their bloated staffs to very nice Italian vacations.
It’s getting worse by the day for The Greatest President In the History, Barack Obama. Rasmussen reports yesterday he was down by 5%, today he’s down by 8%.
It’s getting worse by the day for The Greatest President In the History. Yesterday he was down by 5%, today he’s down by 8%.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8. The President’s Approval Index rating has fallen six points since release of a disappointing jobs report last week.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) now give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy while 43% say he is doing a poor job. Those are by far his lowest ratings yet on the economy Premium Members can see crosstabs, trends, and Scott Rasmussen’s Daily Briefing.

For Gwyneth Paltrow, going green doesn’t mean giving up her designer duds. The actress recommends trying out Stella McCartney’s new Eco Collection, which ranges from $435 to $1535 and is made from 100% organic cotton and recycled materials
Don't know if this ensemble is greeen, Gwyneth, but it's definitely red hot
Did anyone happen to notice the moment when Gwyneth Paltrow went from being cute as a button to being nuttier than a fruitcake?
The out-of-touch leftist actress recently got together with her gal pal Cameron Diaz to tell the little people how to go green.
People magazine reports: “For Gwyneth, going green doesn’t mean giving up her designer duds. The actress recommends trying out Stella McCartney’s new Eco Collection, which ranges from $435 to $1535 and is made from 100% organic cotton and recycled materials, available at Stella McCartney stores…Cameron’s stylish picks include green footwear including Olsen Haus vegan shoes available at camillaboutique.com. ‘Olsen Haus shoes are vegan and natural linen; they are fun and sexy with a pair of skinny jeans,’ says Cameron.”
Got that? $1535 for some designer duds made out of recycled materials. Or if you’re in a bargain hunting mood, as little as $175 for a pair of shoes.
You know what would be really good for the environment, Gwyneth? Wear some of that crap more than once.
Reverend Al showed up at South L.A.’s First A.M.E. Church on Sunday and demanded a U.S. postage stamp honoring Michael Jackson. And while he was on a roll, he demanded a national day of mourning, too.
Here’s a mathematical formula that’s as accurate as Pythagorean Theorem: Black person in news + TV cameras = Al Sharpton must be around here somewhere
Which brings us directly to the recently departed accused child molester Michael Jackson.
Reverend Al showed up at South L.A.’s First A.M.E. Church on Sunday and demanded a U.S. postage stamp honoring Michael Jackson. And while he was on a roll, he demanded a national day of mourning, too.
This one will be harder to pull of than Tawana Brawley’s bra, because the U.S. Postal Service says commemorative stamps can’t even be considered until five years after the subject passes on to their greater reward.
There is one exception, but that won’t help the accused child molester. Deceased U.S. Presidents have traditionally been honored with a stamp released on their birthdays following the date of their deaths.
Prior to issuing the Elvis Presley stamp back in the early 90s, the US Postal Service held a nationwide vote to determine if the public wanted the stamp to show the fat Elvis or the skinny Elvis.
They’ll probably hold a similar competition with the Jackson stamp, but it will be far more complex. Do you want the black Michael or the white Michael? Curly hair or straight hair? With chimpanzee or little boy?
Barack Obama lied to the graduating class at the New Economic School in Moscow, when he told them he meet Michelle at Hardvard Law. They met at law firm Sidney & Austin.
Barack Obama lied to the graduating class at the New Economic School in Moscow yesterday when he said:
"Pssst, Michelle. If anyone asks, remember to say we met at Harvard."
“Congratulations to the entire class of 2009. Congratulations to you. I don’t know if anybody else will meet their future wife or husband in class like I did, but I’m sure you’ll all going to have wonderful careers.”
What’s the lie?
He didn’t meet the future Mrs. Obama at Harvard Law School. In fact, they weren’t even at Harvard Law School at the same time. She graduated in 1988, but he didn’t graduated until 1991.
Where did they really meet?
A thousand miles from Harvard. In The Audacity of Hope, Obama’s best-selling memoir, he says, “I met Michelle in the summer of 1988, while we were both working at Sidley & Austin, a large corporate law firm based in Chicago. Although she is three years younger than me, Michelle was already a practicing lawyer, having attended Harvard Law straight out of college. I had just finished my first year at law school and had been hired as a summer associate.”
Why would the President lie about where they met?
Guilt by association. According to Wikipedia.com, “From 1984 to 1988, (unrepentant terrorist Bernadine) Dohrn was employed by the prestigious Chicago law firm Sidley Austin. She was hired by Howard Trienens, the head of the firm at that time, who knew Thomas G. Ayers, the father of Dohrn’s husband. “We often hire friends,” Trienens told a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. However, Dohrn had not been admitted to the New York or Illinois bar. She passed the New York bar exam but had not submitted an application to the New York Supreme Court’s Committee on Character and Fitness. She also passed the Illinois bar, but was turned down by the Illinois ethics committee because of her criminal record.”
Our theory: Obama never thought anyone would connect the dots between unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayers and his equally unrepentant wife Bernadine Dohrn. In fact, it’s likely that he never thought they’d become a campaign issue.
So even though Obama’s memoirs tell the truth about where he met his wife, he now sees a need to re-write history. His own history, that is.
“Obamanation” was written and sung by Ash Soular. It’s beautiful. She’s beautiful. It’s haunting. She’s beautiful. (Did we already say that?)
“Obamanation” was written and sung by Ash Soular. It’s beautiful. She’s beautiful. It’s haunting. She’s beautiful. (Did we already say that?)
“I’m grateful to have the right to be outspoken,” Ash said. “I wanted to express how I felt about this past election, but I’m not very good at writing political blogs or particularly fond of debating. So I figured, how better to express my opinion than to write a song.
“To elaborate: This song is about how we’ve forgotten the importance of our leaders’ character. The expression, “Obamanation”, (a play on words, yes) is also meant to symbolize a reality where people vote for politicians based upon charisma, instead of the content of their character.”
“It’s describing a situation where we are blinded by those whose main goal is to spend more of our tax money while ignoring our values.”
“It reminds us that the change THEY want may not be the change that YOU want. Let them know whose change matters.”

“Wasn’t nothin’ strange about yo’ daddy,” Sharpton said to Jackson’s children at yesterday’s Michael Jackson Memorial Service. “It was strange what yo’ daddy had to deal with.”
What’s strange to you may not be strange to someone else. But surely we can all agree that Al Sharpton’s comments at yesterday’s Michael Jackson Memorial Service & Three-Ring Circus were very damn strange.

The National Black Republican Association (all twelve members) believe the President should apologize to them for the Democrat Party’s long, sordid history of racism.
Lyndon Johnson led the Great Society. Barack Obama leads the Great Big Apology Society.
So it’s only natural that the National Black Republican Association (all twelve members) believe the President should apologize to them for the Democrat Party’s long, sordid history of racism.
They call the Democrat Party “the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation, and now Socialism.” And they want President Obama to issue that apology ASAP.
“The Democratic Party Owes Blacks an Apology” by Chairman Frances Rice, explains their reasoning.
As the Examiner reports: The NBRA is not asking this of our government, our country, American citizens, nor the Republican Party. They are asking it solely from the Democrat Party. Further, they ask Democrats to stop “issuing unwarranted apologies on behalf of America, while simultaneously using racial politics for partisan political gain.”
The black Republicans put the blame for America’s racial problems right square on the shoulders of the Democrat Party. They believe the Democrat Party socialist policies actually harm blacks instead of helping them.
We consider this demand for an apology racist and discriminatory because it excludes white Republicans from receiving the apology they’re owed by Democrats.
So on behalf of white Republicans, we demand an apology for Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter. Especially Jimmy Carter.
Bulgaria’s right-wing opposition party has swept Sunday’s vote by a wide margin over the corrupt Socialist coalition.
Boris Borisov, the new leader of Bulgaria, was once a bodyguard. He was never a community organizer.
The official results are now in and Bulgaria’s right-wing opposition party has swept Sunday’s vote by a wide margin over the corrupt Socialist coalition.
Despite their cumbersome name, the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria Party – led by Sofia Mayor Boiko Borisov – walked away with 39.7% of the vote.
The Socialists finished a distant second with just 17.7% of the vote. The Turkish MRF party took 14.5%. The ultra-nationalist Attack Party had 9.4% and the right-wing Blue Coalition had 6.7%.
“This is a serious victory for the right-wing parties,” said a spokesman for the Blue Coalition. “It is the big comeback of the rightist parties and a considerable punishing vote for the incumbent coalition.”
Europe is racing to the right. Obama is racing to the left. Somebody’s way off course and we’re pretty sure we know who it is.
June sales for GM and Chrysler even uglier than predicted. Ford weathered the storm better than most–with no government bailout.
Ford may have manufactured the Edsel, but even it was prettier than what’s happening to Chrysler and Government Motors.
Sales are down for everyone. But GM and Chrysler come in at the back of the pack. Here’s a complete list of June U.S. auto sales:
▼ 5% Kia, 26,845 units vs. 28,292 units
▼ 11% Ford, 148,153 units vs. 167,090 units
▼ 15% Volkswagen, 26,551 units vs. 31,411 units
▼ 20% BMW, 20,849 units vs. 26,155 units
▼ 23% Nissan, 58,298 units vs. 75,847 units
▼ 24% Hyundai, 37,943 units vs. 50,033 units
▼ 26% Mercedes, 16,271 units vs. 22,121 units
▼ 30% Honda, 100,420 units vs. 142,539 units
▼ 32% Toyota, 131,654 units vs. 193,234 units
▼ 33% GM, 175,792 units vs. 264,065 units
▼ 42% Chrysler, 68,297 units vs. 117,457 units
Please note that Ford, which declined a government bailout, a government intervention, and a government take-over, seems to be weathering the downturn better than most.
