Christ was born in a manger because the inns were full. On the other hand, it looks like they booted someone out of the inn to make room for Obama, then renamed it in his honor. Perhaps this is where his Christ complex originates.

First, the group made a high-profile visit to Cuba last month. Members of the Caucus embarrassed themselves by acting aged dictator Fidel Castro’s rock ‘n roll groupies.
Now they’ve taken Obama to task for doing something right — boycotting the UN racism conference, the follow-up to a 2001 confab that defined Zionism as racism. The conference was also boycotted by Israel, Canada, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands and Australia.
The Telegraph UK describes it this way: “Only the United Nations could hold an ‘anti-racism’ conference that is actually a celebration of anti-Semitism featuring genocidal maniacs like Iranian president and holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. World leaders are already gathering for the Durban Review Conference in Geneva to be held from April 20-24, one of the biggest hate fests on the planet, wasting millions of dollars.”
Members of the Congressional Black Circus attended the hatefest on their own. But we suspect the American taxpayers will somehow end up footing the bill.
It’s called “World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance.”
Hey, at least they left out “Tea Parties.”

Al Gore is not going to like the latest Rasmussen Report on global warming. No, he’s not going to like it at all.
A year ago, 47% of likely American voters thought man was the primary cause of global warming. This year just 34% agree while 48% say climate change is the result of long-term planetary trends. 7% blame “something else.” 11% just aren’t sure. It’s the worst repudiation of Gore’s unscientific theory to date.
As you might expect, 51% of knee jerk Democrats agree with Gore that man is to blame. Luckily, 66% of Republicans and 47% independents disagree.
Gore has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on an ad campaign to convince the American people that his global warming hogwash is true, but the public’s not buying it. Kind of like his presidential campaign. Except he actually won that vote.

Miss California Carrie Prejean, who most agree lost the Miss USA 2009 title Sunday Night because, in response to judge Perez Hilton’s question on gay marriage, claimed that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, defended herself on The Today Show this morning. Matt Lauer gave her a chance to revise her answer. No revision necessary, she says:
“The way that I answered might have been offensive … but for me, it was being biblically correct.”
Now this is a strong woman. More of a woman than Ms. Perez Hilton can ever hope to be.
Press secretary Robert Gibbs tried to tap dance around a question yesterday, but in a major surprise, the press didn’t let him get away with it.
AP reporter Jennifer Loven and ABC’s Jake Tapper pressed Gibbs to explain why President Obama bragged about saving $100 million in his proposed budget when he had downplayed $8 billion in earmark spending several weeks ago.
It wasn’t pretty. Gibbs eventually adopted the strategy of talking and talking and talking until everyone forgot what the question was.

At that rate Pakistan’s terror death toll will overtake the toll from Hurricane Katrina by the end of April.

Just last month in Doha, Venezuelan President and Fidel Castro wannabe Hugo Chavez called the U.S. “the great guilty one, the great Satan.”
Chavez also called President Obama “ignorant.” Now Obama has proven Chavez’ point, smiling and giving Chavez the “bro” handshake.

We know the 70s were simpler times, gentler times, more innocent times. But for God’s sake, man, did no one in the Archdiocesan Youth Commission see anything wrong with this design? No one?
This is an actual logo designed in 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission.
In fact, it won an award from the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles and is shown in the 1974 ADLA Awards Annual.
It can also be found in the Design Archives of AIGA, “the professional association for design.” We know it looks like a sick joke, but you can see it here for yourself.

For some unknown reason, Donald Trump invited offensive and flamboyantly gay Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton to be a judge at the Miss USA pageant last night. He probably won’t be invited back.
It was bad enough that his question to Miss California was, “Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?”
She gave a well-reasoned, well-spoken answer. We always thought that was the basis on which contestants were judged in the question and answer segment. Apparently not. Perez Hilton judged the content of her answer and came to the conclusion that it didn’t match his beliefs.
Miss California, who had already won the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the competition, lost the crown to Miss North Carolina when she had the nerve to express herself honestly:
“In my country, in my family, I think that I believe a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there, but that’s how I was raised.”
Hilton’s face froze tighter than Nancy Pelosi’s after a botox injection. As soon as the competition was over, he rushed back to his hotel room and posted this video blog to his followers.
“Miss California lost not because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she was a dumb bitch.” He continued, “If that girl would have won Miss USA, I would have gone up on stage, I shit you not, I would have gone up on stage, grabbed that tiara off her head, and run out the door. And then I would have probably been arrested, but so what.”
It might not be much consolation, but we have a tiara here and we’d like to present it to Miss California and officially name her “Miss IHateTheMedia.com.”

If you weren’t around before 1979, you may think the people of Iran have always been 13th century lunatics.
Not so.
These two photos perfectly demonstrate the difference between the theocratic Iran of today and the Iran of 30 years ago that was the most westernized country in the middle east. (You can see dozens of other photos of surprisingly Westernized, pre-secular Iran here).
Iranian Akhbar Ganji describes the 1979 Iranian revolution as an event that “promised us heaven, but… created a hell on earth.”
Not for the peoples at IHateTheMedia.com. We consider this a preview of what our Islamo-Fascist friends have in mind for the rest of the world. Including America.

Cody Williard, host of Fox Business News’ Happy Hour, is not your average business news reporter. Think of him as Rick Santelli’s geeky younger brother. But that genetic-ish link to Santelli means he speaks up when he thinks he’s been wronged.
Cody saw Jon Stewart use a little deceptive editing to make it appear that Williard had said something different than what he actually said. So Williard fought back:
“So I think you guys know I try to keep it pretty real with you around here on Happy Hour, continually calling out and calling on you to fight the Republican and Democrat fascists – yes fascist regime. Jon Stewart last night said I dropped the F-bomb on Obama. It wasn’t just on Obama, it was on Obama, Bush and everyone.”
Watch it for yourself to see just how deceptive Stewart’s editing was.

Chan made the following moronic comments while taking part in a panel discussion before an audience of Chinese business people.
“I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not,” the actor said. “I’m really confused now. If you’re too free, you’re like the way Hong Kong is now. It’s very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic.”
“I’m gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled,” he added. “If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.”
This sounds very strange coming from a guy who’s worked hard and made millions of dollars. But we think we’ve figured it out.
There is no Jackie Chan. It’s really just Margaret Cho in drag.

The People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party, devoted a full page to the controversy and demanded that the condom company apologize to China.
Grey Worldwide, one of the world’s largest ad agencies, created the safe sex ad for Doc Morris Pharmacies. They’ve reportedly sent a letter of apology to the Chinese consulate in Frankfurt.
Not all Chinese seem quite so angry, though. “I am a former worker who is now 70,” said one comment on the sina.com website. “I have thought about it a lot and I still cannot understand why these people defend Mao so strongly.”
He is survived by his wife, three children and seven grandchildren (all boys).

Can someone explain why Harry Reid is the leader of the United States Senate? For God’s sake, man, is this really what passes for a leader in today’s America?
Nevertheless, this Caspar Milquetoast of a man decided two years ago today that the war in Iraq was lost. He announced it to the world.
If you’re still in an explaining kind of mood, can someone please explain why this clip wasn’t shown time after time after time on every TV network and independent station in America during the last election?
Yes, we hate the media.
Ahhh, but don’t break out the champagne quite yet. The court didn’t annul the marriage nor condemn the marriage nor even raise an eyebrow over the marriage. It just said the old geezer couldn’t violate the girl until she reached puberty.
Justice Minister Muhammad Issa said he wanted to end to the “arbitrary” way in which Saudi parents marry off underage girls. But he said nothing about outlawing the practice. Not a word.
This brings up a few questions for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
Is this one of those international laws you want to use as precedent in American law? If you’re not following the United States Constitution, how do you determine which international laws to follow and which ones to ignore? Will your choices as “arbitrary” as those of the Saudi judge? And finally, are you really as friggin’ uninformed and un-American as you appear to be?
Just wondering.

If you’re an aid worker, consider yourself lucky that you got out of 2008 alive. Reuters reports that last year was the deadliest ever for aid workers. But the wire service left something very important out of its report – who did the killing?
Here’s how CreepingSharia.com revealed what Reuters didn’t or wouldn’t or dasn’t:
al-Reuters reports that 2008 was the deadliest year on record for aid workers and that three countries were responsible for most of the violence. What Reuters fails to mention is what those three countries – Somalia, Afghanistan, and Sudan – have in common that contributed to the killings: Islam.
In fact, the words Islam, Muslim, jihad, and sharia – all significant factors in the record number of aid worker deaths – are never mentioned by al-Reuters, who claims the deaths are an alarming trend.
Unfortunate? Absolutely. Disgusting? Without doubt. Alarming? Not really. Anyone paying any attention at all could tell you jihadists are killing on a regular basis. The alarming trend is not the killings but the refusal of Western governments and the mass media to acknowledge and report on the jihadists and ideology behind the killing. Not to mention policies forbidding use of those terms.
What’s that? There were no bands of crazed 13th century Christians raping and pillaging anywhere in the world? No conservatives slaughtering in the name of God? And no beheadings by disgruntled Republicans?
This is going to come as a big surprise to the Department of Homeland Security.

Six months ago Joe the Plumber was just Joe the plumber. Then Barack Obama knocked on his door, quickly followed by opportunity knocking on his door.
Love Joe or hate Joe, you have to give the guy credit. He walked into the lion’s den (otherwise known as Bill Maher’s show on HBO) and held his own.
Maher, of course, does everything he can to make Joe look like a bonehead, but Joe gave as good as he got. Not bad for a guy who was unclogging drains not too long ago.

Believe it or not, democracy and capitalism aren’t on the list. Maybe next year.
We know this doesn’t really have much to do with media, but it does take us back to a sweeter, gentler, happier time in America. (Are you ready for our tenuous media connection? Because here it comes) You know, those times the media tells us were angry, racist, misogynist, homophobic times. Oh, wait. They’re still telling us that.
So what the hell, here’s number twenty-three:
Cash Registers That Make a Ka-Ching Sound
Ka-ching — it’s a synonym for making money — the sound of the cash register ringing up a sale. Lots of people still say it, but some of them don’t know its origins because they have never heard the real thing. Cash registers that go “ka-ching” have been replaced by silent computers or self-checkout machines whose nasal artificial voices annoy more than help when they whine, “Don’t forget to take your change.”
Check out the entire list, you angry, racist, misogynist, homophobe.

No president has ever understood the welfare system better than Barack Obama. Because somehow, our new President and his missus managed to bring home $201,913 for jobs they didn’t perform.
Lest we be accused of being inaccurate, let’s admit that President Obama did spend about 12 minutes doing the actual work of a United Sates Senator in 2008. He showed up to cast a vote or two when he was campaigning somewhere near Washington, DC. For that Herculean effort, he was paid $139,204.
But Michelle, well, that’s a different story. She took home $62,709 from the University of Chicago Hospitals. To repeat, she didn’t work a lick, but still took home $62,709. That’s not bad work if you can get it.
In fact, after she resigned her position, her job was eliminated. I’m sure Michelle would say it was eliminated because she couldn’t be replaced. But it’s much more likely that the job was eliminated because it wasn’t a real job in the first place.
So on one hand, these two got paid for work they didn’t do. And on the other hand, they see nothing wrong with increasing your taxes for the work you did do.
It all starts to make sense now.

If you thought taxes were the worst thing to happen on April 15, think again.
TV Land premiered a new reality dating show called “The Cougar,” in which a 40-year old single mother of four searches for a younger man. A much younger man.
In case you aren’t familiar with the term, the Urban Dictionary defines a cougar as “A 35+ year old female who is on the ‘hunt’ for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar in San Francisco (or other cities) waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path.”
Twenty single men will compete to win the affections of this woman who’s twice their age. Week by week, young studs will be eliminated as a result of various weekly challenges.
“The Cougar” is produced by the same geniuses who brought you “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.”
The company is reportedly exploring additional dating shows for gay midget quadriplegics, left-handed Irish transsexuals, and hermaphrodites named Ann and Andy. Stay tuned for more information after these words from our sponsor.

Another story the media just conveniently overlooks in its efforts to be politically correct:
Those darn moderate Taliban factions with whom President Obama wants to negotiate are already causing problems in Pakistan.
Here’s how the ANI news agency reports the story:
Pakistani’s Taliban will not lay down heir arms in a northwestern valley as part of a deal that included the introduction of Sharia law but will take their struggle’ to new areas, a militant spokesman said today.
“Sharia doesn’t permit us to lay down arms,” Muslim Khan said by telephone. “If a government, either in Pakistan or Afghanistan, continues anti-Muslim policies, it’s out of the question that Taliban lay down their arms.”
Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari, under pressure from conservatives, signed a regulation on Monday imposing sharia law in the Swat valley to end Taliban violence.
The strategy of appeasement has alarmed US officials, while critics say the government has demonstrated a lack of capacity nd will to fight the Taliban and al Qaeda.
According to Dawn, details of the deal have not been made public but government officials backing the pact have said part of it as that militants would give up their arms.
But a Pakistani Taliban spokesman in the scenic valley, a one-time tourist destination 125 km northwest of Islamabad, said they would be keeping their guns.
He said “When we achieve our goal at one place, there are other areas where we need to struggle for it.”
Based on this, we can foresee the day when American Muslims can have guns for religious reasons, but other Americans can’t have them for legal reasons.
That, of course, will allow the IslamoFascists to help Homeland Security hunt down rightwing extremists.
