DON IMUS: "I think you would have been a much better President than the guy we have now, don't you agree with that?"

SEN. JOHN KERRY: "You've asked me that before. Every time I come on you try to get me to --"

IMUS: "-- I'm not trying to get you to do anything. I'm trying to get you to be honest."

KERRY: "I'm always honest."

IMUS: "Well, you would've been a much better President."

KERRY: "I would have been a good President. Maybe even a great one. How about that?"

Bumper sticker for the declinist president's campaign

LIbtard of the Week Award

In an appearance Monday in New York City, former Vice President Al Gore, prominently known for his climate change activism, took on the subject of population size and the role of society in controlling it to reduce pollution."

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/239862

Al Gore believes we need to control the population to control pollution. Al Gore has four kids. Al Gore wants OTHER PEOPLE to have less children. This is another fine example of Al Gore asking you to do as he says, not as he does.

Uncontacted Amazonian Tribe Discovered

Somebody warn these jungle people to run and hide again. Do they want their pristine existence ruined by taxes, STD's and Keith Olbermann?


Brazilian authorities claim to have pinpointed the location of a community of ancient and uncontacted tribespeople in one of the most remote corners of the world's largest rainforest.

This indigenous Amazonian community was discovered after three small forest clearings were detected on satellite images, according to Fabricio Amorim, a regional coordinator for Brazil's indigenous foundation, Funai. Flyover expeditions commenced in April, confirming the community's existence.

Insane politicians

Insanity:
One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Socialized healthcare in all its glory

From the UK Sun newspaper:

HOSPITAL chiefs have apologised after giving elderly patients a TAMBOURINE to call for nurses in an emergency.

The musical instrument was left in a day room after older patients feared they were too far away for nurses to hear any cries for help.

The global warming alarmists forgot that 'garbage in, garbage out' thingy again

The world's foremost authority on climate change used a Greenpeace campaigner to help write one of its key reports, which critics say made misleading claims about renewable energy, The Independent has learnt.


The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), set up by the UN in 1988 to advise governments on the science behind global warming, issued a report last month suggesting renewable sources could provide 77 per cent of the world's energy supply by 2050. But in supporting documents released this week, it emerged that the claim was based on a real-terms decline in worldwide energy consumption over the next 40 years – and that the lead author of the section concerned was an employee of Greenpeace. Not only that, but the modelling scenario used was the most optimistic of the 164 investigated by the IPCC.

Report: Nearly 200 of Obama‘s Biggest Donors Land ’Plum‘ Gov’t Jobs, Contracts


More than two years after Obama took office vowing to banish “special interests” from his administration, nearly 200 of his biggest donors have landed plum government jobs and advisory posts, won federal contracts worth millions of dollars for their business interests or attended numerous elite White House meetings and social events.

Knee slapper from POTUS

I'm sure that when you implemented the Recovery Act your staff briefed you on many of these challenges." At this point, Obama smiled and interjected, "Shovel-ready was not as ... uh .. shovel-ready as we expected." The Council, led by GE's Jeffrey Immelt, erupted in laughter.

The Obama administration promised the Recovery Act ("the stimulus") would prevent the jobless rate from going over 8%. It now stands at 9.1%.

Poster Boy for Narcissism

A narcissist is someone who is overtly or subtly arrogant, exhibitionistic, vain, manipulative, and greedy for admiration.Ref Narcissistic rage, character assassination and projection are some of the overt ways in which the narcissist expresses himself.

A narcissist is not capable of putting the organization's needs before his or her own needs.

This explains a lot

"At some point during the first two years of his administration, President Obama stopped receiving the daily economic briefing that he requested when he took office."
--in The Hill, reported by Sam Youngman.


What a novel economic strategy: ignore the problem and hope it just floats away.

You are on the hook for $534,000.

The $61.6 trillion in unfunded obligations amounts to $534,000 per household. That's more than five times what Americans have borrowed for everything else — mortgages, car loans and other debt.--Dennis Cauchon, USA Today


How and why did we let the government screw up this bad?

Phony Numbers from POTUS

"What we found is one of the most misleading collections of assertions we have seen in a short presidential speech. Virtually every claim by the president regarding the auto industry needs an asterisk, just like the fine print in that too-good-to-be-true car loan."--Glenn Kessler (WashPost)

Global warming fucktard talking like a nazi:

The fucktard's name is Richard Glover.

"Surely it's time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies."

"Not necessarily on the forehead; I'm a reasonable man. Just something along their arm or across their chest so their grandchildren could say, ''Really? You were one of the ones who tried to stop the world doing something? And why exactly was that, granddad?''

Libtard of the Week

This sack of shit is Markos Moulitsas. He is the founder of the uber-leftist Daily Kos.

Ms. Moulitsas found it necessary to defend the Congressional Crotch Shot Pervert, Anthony Weiner (Dick, NY) by allowing the publication of two under aged girl's identities.

What would Reagan do?

From the WSJ:

At this stage in the Reagan expansion, after a comparably deep 1981-82 recession, the economy was growing by 7% a year and the jobless rate was plunging. This time the economy is growing by less than 2%, and we still have 6.8 million fewer jobs than when the recession began in late 2007.

Anti-obesity campaign

While I applaud the goals of the new anti-obesity campaign, I think it would help to influence people more if they kept our bowling-ball of a Surgeon General back on Air Force One during these photo-ops.

Political correctness running wild at the Fed

You would think the Fed would be busy enough spending money we don't have, but they've found the time and resources to be politically correct too.





Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, is asking the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank to remove the rainbow flag flying below the American flag outside of the building, calling its presence “a serious deficiency of judgment by your organization, one not limited to social issues.”

Selective Liberal Outrage

The brilliant Victor Davis Hanson:

"There is a vast machinery of selective liberal outrage, fueled and lubricated by the media, universities, and celebrity entertainment. When the redistributive welfare state starts to run out of money, the gears and pulleys are flipped on and shrill charges of greed, cruelty, nativism, and racism spew out of the production line. The machine sputters and shuts down when an aggrieved liberal suddenly must either make cuts or adapt the very policies that he used to damn."

"Understand the mechanics of selective outrage, and our upside-down politics becomes comprehensible: A state suing to enforce immigration law is tantamount to a racist intrusion on federal jurisdiction, but a state openly flouting federal statutes for the Dream Act is acting in enlightened, humanitarian fashion."

Weinergate

Jonah Goldberg writing at The Corner on NRO:


"Hey look, Rep. Weiner’s a busy guy. Who can possibly expect him to keep track of every picture of his own crotch he’s ever taken? Sure, it could be his junk. But how can he possibly know with any certainty? I mean it’s not like he has an elaborate filing and labeling system for his penile photography. He’s not some weirdo. This looks like one of his many, many bulge shots, it might even be one of them. But how can he be expected to be definitive?"
