Is Brooke Shields really John Edwards’ love child?

Teri Shields has not yet denied that John Edwards is her baby daddy.
Teri Shields has not yet denied that John Edwards is her baby daddy.

According to actress Brooke Shields, the National Enquirer kidnapped her demented mother from a retirement home in New Jersey.

As keen observers of the National Enquirer, we think it’s pretty obvious that they were simply trying to determine if Brooke Shields is another John Edwards love child.

The irate Shields told People Magazine that her mother was checked out of the home by a Natonal Enquirer reporter in pursuit a “tabloid story.”

“My mother Teri Shields has been diagnosed with dementia. For her safety, she has temporarily been in a senior living facility, a very difficult decision for me,” she says. “Late Thursday afternoon, I was alerted by Old Tappan Police that my mother had been signed out of the facility by two reporters of the National Enquirer…who falsely claimed they were friends of hers.”

According to police, Teri Shields, 75, was found talking to the freelance reporter several hours later at a restaurant next door to her assisted living center.

“I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act,” Brooke Shields said in her statement to People.

Yes, we know it sounds highly unlikely that John Edwards could be Brooke Shields’ father, because he was only 12 years old when she was born. But would you put anything past the guy at this point?

Gallup survey can’t find one British Muslim who approves of homosexuality

It's much easier to be a Muslim cross-dresser because the burkha hides your adam's apple
It's much easier to be a Muslim cross-dresser because the burkha hides your adam's apple

Bad news for Elton John. According to a recent survey, British Muslims have zero tolerance for homosexual acts.

What’s that? They didn’t mean show business acts performed by homosexuals? Oh. Our apologies to Elton.

Gallup conducted telephone and face-to-face interviews with 500 Muslims in the UK, France and Germany.

“The most dramatic contrast was found in attitudes towards homosexuality,” the study said. “None of the 500 British Muslims interviewed believed that homosexual acts were morally acceptable.”

Remarkable. They couldn’t find a single British Muslim who would come out publicly in support of homosexuals. Not one.

“By comparison, 35% of French Muslims found homosexual acts to be acceptable,” it continued. “A question on pornography also elicited different reactions, with French and German Muslims more likely than British Muslims to believe that watching or reading pornography was morally acceptable.”

So much for the glories of multiculturalism. Like all liberal philosophies, it grossly over-promises and dramatically under-delivers. Kind of like an Elton John concert.

Shocking: Obama’s government spending follows same pattern as his personal spending

Conservatives often look at government spending, shake their heads and say, “They wouldn’t spend their own money like that.”

Turns out if you’re Barack Obama, you would. A new financial analysis indicates that he’s always spent far more than he made.

Here’s how The New York Daily News reports it:

In the words of Pink Floyd, "Money, money, money, money...money."
In the words of Pink Floyd, "Money, money, money, money...money."

A close examination of their finances shows that the Obamas were living off lines of credit along with other income for several years until 2005, when Obama’s book royalties came through and Michelle received her 260% pay raise at the University of Chicago. This was also the year Obama started serving in the U.S. Senate…

In April 1999, they purchased a Chicago condo and obtained a mortgage for $159,250. In May 1999, they took out a line of credit for $20,750. Then, in 2002, they refinanced the condo with a $210,000 mortgage, which means they took out about $50,000 in equity. Finally, in 2004, they took out another line of credit for $100,000 on top of the mortgage.

Tax returns for 2004 reveal $14,395 in mortgage deductions. If we assume an effective interest rate of 6%, then they owed about $240,000 on a home they purchased for about $159,250.

This means they spent perhaps $80,000 beyond their income from 1999 to 2004.

We have to admit that this information frightens us. Based on his past experience, we fear the President thinks he can pay off the nation’s skyrocketing debt by writing another best selling autobiography and getting Michelle another dubious, but highly-paid job.

Genius.

Perky Katie Couric lives in a dark, depressing world. Enter at your own risk.

The Great Depression is what you'll go into after watching Katie Couric's uplifting report
The Great Depression is what you'll go into after watching Katie Couric's uplifting report

It’s amazing that Katie Couric can maintain her eternal perkiness in such a dark, depressing world. Amazing what $15 mil a year will do for a gal.

She just started a series called “Children of the Recession” on her nightly CBS Newscast. She kicked it all off with an op-ed piece in USA Today in which she postulates that today’s kids are the “Recession Generation.” Apparently unable to settle on one generational nomenclature, she later called them “innocent victims could become the Lost Generation.”

On the CBS Evening News she harkened up images of the Great Depression and said the current recession “may be” to kids “what the depression was to an earlier generation.”

“Volunteer families stepping in during tough times is reminiscent of the Great Depression,” the perky one intoned gravely, “when parents in dire straits sent their children to live with relatives or other people in the community.”

Tom Brokaw noted that the kids who lived through the Great Depression became “The Greatest Generation,” but Couric sees kids who live through this recession as “The Lost Generation.”

Why the difference? Maybe it’s because that earlier generation didn’t have to watch depressing, grossly-distorted historical analogies on TV every night.

Harry Reid confused, but Nevada voters aren’t

Democrat Senator Harry Reid salutes the voters of Nevada
Democrat Senator Harry Reid salutes the voters of Nevada

Harry Reid looked stupid three times in one news conference on Tuesday. And that’s not a smart thing to do on a day when a poll showed he’s unlikely to be re-elected by Nevada voters.

First, when asked if Teddy Kennedy’s cancer was in remission, Reid answered, “As far as I know, it is, yes.” A Kennedy spokesperson declined to comment, the classic form of denial in Washington, DC.

Then Reid noted that Senator Robert Byrd would soon be released from the hospital. A Byrd spokesman later said, “…his doctors, in consultation with his family, have not yet determined when he will be released.”

Finally, Reed didn’t know his own party’s position on Gitmo detainees. “Part of what we don’t want is them be put in prisons in the United States,” Reid said. But that differs significantly from what the administration has said.

When asked if President Obama’s position put his Democrat colleagues in an awkward position, Reid said, “Not at all.” But when Reid’s second-in-command, Senator Dick Durban was asked the same question, he clearly contradicted his boss and answered, “Yes.”

Reid’s errors came on a day when a poll showed that only 35% of Nevada voters would vote to re-elect him.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “Nearly half of Nevadans have had enough of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as the powerful Democrat heads into his re-election campaign, a new Las Vegas Review-Journal poll finds.”

“About a third of the state’s voters would re-elect Reid if the 2010 election were held today, according to the poll, but 45 percent say they would definitely vote to replace him. Seventeen percent would consider another candidate.”

So even though Harry screwed up, the voters got it right.

Beware the “Climate-Industrial Complex”

Al Gore, frontman for the climate-industrial complex
Al Gore, frontman for the climate-industrial complex

President Eisenhower warned of the “military-industrial complex.” Now on the eve of the World Business Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen, “Skeptical Environmentalist” author Bjorn Lomborg warns of the “climate-industrial complex.”

Lomborg, hardly a conservative, writes, “We are told that very expensive carbon regulations are the only way to respond to global warming, despite ample evidence that this approach does not pass a basic cost-benefit test. We must ask whether a “climate-industrial complex” is emerging, pressing taxpayers to fork over money to please those who stand to gain.”

This global warming…oops…climate change cabal has invited none other than Al “He Played On Our Fears” Gore to be the keynote speaker. How is it that this Oscar/Grammy/Nobel “Peace” Prize-winning crackpot is still taken seriously after being thoroughly debunked for his phony “documentary” and general hysteria? *Sigh*

As Lomborg rightly points out, Gore represents all three groups that stand to benefit. “He is a politician, a campaigner and the chair of a green private-equity firm invested in products that a climate-scared world would buy.”

Coincidentally, all the so-called experts at this Summit hold the same alarmist views of global, er… climate change.

So whatever happened to diversity and tolerance of other viewpoints? It’s nowhere to be found in this forum. As Lomborg notes, “There would be an outcry — and rightfully so — if big oil organized a climate change conference and invited only climate-change deniers. The partnership among self-interested businesses, grandstanding politicians and alarmist campaigners truly is an unholy alliance. Spending a fortune on global carbon regulations will benefit a few, but dearly cost everybody else.”

Obama once said, “The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works…” Our question is, what if it’s too big and still doesn’t work?

Filipino senator threatens Alec Baldwin with a beating

Fearing for his life, Alec Baldwin attempts to hide from Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla by disguising himself as the Cat in the Hat
Fearing for his life, Alec Baldwin attempts to hide from Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla by disguising himself as the Cat in the Hat

Annoying Alec Baldwin, star of NBC’s “30 Rock,” told David Letterman that he would love to have more children and that he was “thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point … or a Russian one.”

That didn’t sit well with Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla. He angrily responded that Baldwin’s remark was “insensitive and uncalled for.” He called it an insult to Filipinos.
The senator is a former movie star who still makes an occasional appearance on Philippine TV.

He called Baldwin “arrogant” and noted that the Philippines has a law against mail-order brides.

“Let him try to come here in the Philippines and he’ll see mayhem,” Revilla roared, implying that he would personally administer a beating to the puffy American actor.

Thrilla in Manilla II. Get your tickets now. Our money’s on Revilla.

Outrageous California school district wants to battle “homophobia” in kindergarten

Back when we were in kindergarten our biggest concern was learning our ABCs. Apparently, the kids in Alameda, California have bigger (and stranger) things to worry about.

California’s Alameda Unified School District may institute a supplemental curriculum aimed at eradicating “homophobia” in kindergarten kids.

Let’s just pause for a moment while you digest that concept.

OK?

“Nowhere at anytime did it give any protection for children being bullied because of their faith, their religion, their size, their race, ethnicity,” said Brad Dacus, founder of the Pacific Justice Institute. “It is only going to give this special anti-bullying protection for homosexuals and transsexuals.”
 


Welcome to Alameda, California. Where the kids don’t know their ABCs, but do know their AC/DCs.

President refuses to meet with governor, governor calls him a hypocrite

Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons is not happy with President Obama
Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons is not happy with President Obama

Earlier this year, the President Obama told an Elkhart, Indiana audience, “You can’t get corporate jets. You can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”

Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons fired back on Tuesday after Obama declined an invitation to meet with Gibbons and the state’s business leaders.

“I am disappointed at the hypocrisy shown by this Administration,” Gibbons said. “President Obama is coming to Las Vegas later this month for a political fundraiser, but he will not help the struggling families in Las Vegas and Nevada who are out of work because of his reckless comments.”

“President Obama is coming to Las Vegas to raise campaign cash for Senator Harry Reid, apparently our money is good enough for the President, but our tourism, jobs, and economic future are not.” Gibbons added, “This is politics, pure and simple, President Obama stood for change, but all he has done is brought negative economic change to Nevada.”


Since Obama’s comments, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has lost more than 400 conventions and meetings, costing Vegas in excess of $100 million.

We say keep President Obama out of Las Vegas. The way he’s been going, he’d might be tempted to head for the roulette tables and put all the stimulus money on red.

What the hell, his odds of success are probably higher than the way he’s gambling it all away now.

Obama faith-based advisor wants us to move beyond “heteronormative” fatherhood

C'mon, give daddy sugar. It's Non-Heteronormative Father's Day
C'mon, give daddy sugar. It's Non-Heteronormative Father's Day

Harry Knox, a member of President Obama’s Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, says that promoting responsible fatherhood should include moving away from the “heteronormative view of fatherhood.”

Don’t you love words like “heteronormative?”

What it means is that traditional fatherhood is passe. Now gays should be fathers. Lesbians should be fathers. Trans-sexuals should be fathers. Amoebas should be fathers. Lamp posts should be fathers. Everyone and everything should be fathers.

The White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships divvies up the big pot of federal money among religious non-profit and charitable groups.

Don’t forget. Father’s Day is June 21. We’re not sure when Non-Heteronormative Father’s Day is.

One of the sinister Sanchez sisters wants blog gulag

Congresswoman Linda Sanchez parties after a long day of jailing bloggers
Congresswoman Linda Sanchez parties after a long day of jailing bloggers

You never know what to expect from the sinister Sanchez sisters – Linda and Loretta both Democrat representatives from California – but you know it won’t be good.

Rep Linda Sanchez, a California Democrat, says, “Congress has no interest in censoring.” Of course, she said that in defense of her bill that censors the internet.

Sister Linda has introduced the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act. Despite her claim that “Congress has no interest in censoring,” Civil libertarians call the overly-broad bill “the Internet Censorship Act of 2009.”

“Put simply,” she commented in a piece for the Huffington Post, “this legislation would be used as a tool for a judge and jury to determine whether there is significant evidence to prove that a person ‘cyberbullied’ another. That is: did they have the required intent, did they use electronic means of communication, and was the communication severe, hostile, and repeated? So — bloggers, e-mailers, texters, spiteful exes and those who have blogged against this bill have no fear — your words are still protected under the same American values.”

Sanchez shows her deep commitment to the First Amendment by including the phrase “so-called free speech” in her HuffPo article.

Methods of communication where so-called hostile speech would be criminalized include telephones, websites, e-mail, instant messaging, blogs, and text messages. No word of whether sexting is included.

Murphy’s Law says, “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.” It’s corollary, Sanchez’ Law says, “Whatever I say is wrong is wrong.”

William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright lead Mideast peace rally and Israeli hatefest

Those two veteran America haters, Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers enjoy each other's company at a weekend protest
Those two veteran America haters, Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers enjoy each other's company at a weekend protest

Those two harmless jesters who don’t know each other, never met each other, barely knew Barack Obama, and wouldn’t really know him if they ran into him on a Chicago street, got together in Chicago on Sunday.

Yes, unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and America-hating Reverend Jeremiah Wright led a group of community activists, clergy and residents on a march “demanding a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

Translation: Screw the Israelis.

“We can’t be squelching viewpoints because they are unpopular or because someone has a reputation through Fox News,” said Caren Levy Van Slyke, a spokeswoman for the group.

Translation: Fox News shouldn’t have told the truth about Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.

When asked about the event, President Obama said, “Who? Bill Who? Jeremiah Who? I don’t believe I’m familiar with either of those gentlemen.” Then he laughed his ass off and said, “Gotta go. I’m nationalizing a couple more industries this afternoon.”

OK, the previous paragraph is a complete fabrication. But it could have happened.

They call it “The Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009.”

It sounds like a good idea until you find out that it would authorize the Attorney General to deny the sale of firearms to known or “suspected” terrorists.

Of course, you don’t have to remember back more than a couple weeks to remember who Janet Napolitano “suspects” as a terrorist.

Who? You. That’s who.

What Napolitano called “extremists,” more rational civil libertarians call “advocates” for frightening things like Christian identity, anti-abortion, anti-immigration and states rights.

“It doesn’t say anything about trials and due process,” commented Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America said about the proposed legislation. “This is one of the most outrageous pieces of legislation to come along in some time. It’s basically saying, ‘I suspect you, so your rights are toast.'”

We’re no mathematicians, Janet, but we can add two and two and get 1776.

Katie Couric doesn’t know whether to be bubbly or have a stroke during her Saudi Arabian report

Is it just us or is there something just a little creepy about Katie Couric’s manner in this report from Saudi Arabia?

On one hand, she tries her best to be oddly bubbly. On the other hand, she acts as if she expects the Saudi religious police to swoop down on her at any moment.

And is it just us or does she seem a little too flippant about buying her daughter a mosque-shaped alarm clock?

Media downplays huge Hispanic protest against gay marriage

While the left demonized those damn white conservatives — evildoers like Miss California Carrie Prejean — as homophobes, a huge, mostly Hispanic crowd took to the streets of New York in opposition to Governor Patterson’s same-sex bill. The crowd, which some estimate at 20,000, gathered at the Governor’s Manhattan office, stretching from 35th to 40th Street on 3rd Avenue.

CSNnews.com reports that, “The National Institutes of Health is studying the use of ecstasy, LSD and other ‘party drugs’ in Porto Alegre, Brazil, with a $117,876 investment from taxpayers. According to an NIH summary of the grant, ‘The topic is interesting and the data will be useful to understand the emerging problem of club drugs and raves in Brazil.’

Looks like college professors have figured out how to get the government to fund their kinky foreign vacations.

So we’re thinking of studying the sex habits of middle-aged men in Bora Bora. We figure it should cost about a quarter mil. Anybody know where to get the application forms?

FBI investigates former North Carolina governor,
AP takes eight paragraphs to mention he’s a Democrat

Awkward moment between Democrat Governor Mike Easley and Democrat President Barack Obama (See how easy that was, AP?)
Awkward moment between Democrat Governor Mike Easley and Democrat President Barack Obama (See how easy that was, AP?)

Here’s a rule of thumb: If a newspaper story doesn’t mention the party of a politician who’s in trouble, bet your house it’s a Democrat.

AP proved the wisdom of that betting strategy again on Friday when it took eight paragraphs to identify the party of former North Carolina Governor Mike Easley.

Here’s how Associated Press framed the story:

Federal authorities revealed Friday that they are looking into who paid for flights former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley and his family took on privately owned aircraft while he was in office.

The FBI subpoenaed the state Highway Patrol and a trooper who was the head of the governor’s personal security detail, seeking information about the travel, documents involving payments and any communication the agency had with the Easleys about those private flights.

The subpoenas also ask for public inquiries of the flights and the patrol’s policies on keeping records related to the Easleys’ trips.

Where do they mention the former governor’s party affiliation? Not for five more paragraphs.

Easley, a Democrat, didn’t immediately return a phone call at his law office in Raleigh.

If he’d been a Republican, the headline would have said, “Republican investigated by FBI.” Maybe even “Evil Racist Republican investigated by the FBI.” Possibly even “Evil Racist, Gun-Loving, Misogynist Republican investigated by the FBI. Dems demand immediate resignation.”

Sigh.

Quiznos makes up for homoerotic commercial with a “threesome” commercial

We recently published Try explaining this new Quiznos commercial to your children, featuring a Quiznos commercial featuring a deep-voiced gay oven that says, “Put it in me, Scott,” referring to the male Quiznos worker’s tasty, toasty torpedo. Judging from the reaction we and other sites showing the video received, it did not go over as well as they expected, well, maybe in the company we keep.

But, it looks like the Quiznos marketing department is paying attention. They’re making up for it with a new commercial that will appeal more to the horney heterosexual male, and the Hollywood female: It features two sexy women in bikinis fighting over that once again, tasty, toasty torpedo. It puts a just slightly different vision in one’s head than their last attempt.

What’s next we wonder? Are they going to start checking ID’s just to get into this steamy sandwich shop?

New “killer chip” could track terrorists, then eliminate them by releasing poison

The "killer chip" (also known as "the Napolitano Chip" at the Department of Homeland Security)

A Saudi inventor has developed “the killer chip,” a tiny semiconductor-controlled device that can be implanted in a person, allowing authorities to track them from anywhere in the world with GPS.

A second version of the device could remotely release poison to “eliminate” anyone who becomes “a security risk.”

The patent application was tossed by Germany’s Patent and Trademark Office because that nation doesn’t recognize inventions they deem unethical or a danger to the public.

Sadly, Attorney General Eric Holder would never consider using this product on the terrorists he wants to release in the United States, but Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano probably would consider using it on those dreaded rightwing terrorists.
