LEE RODGERSBACHMANN'S HARVEST, AMERICA-HATING
LATINOS & MORE
The Chicago Tribune reports that Congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has received substantial income in federal subsidies for a farming operation in which she's a partner. This, coupled with her support for the ethanol-subsidy boondoggle, may give some conservatives second thoughts about her political future.
Sorry to bring bad news to her supporters, but better not to be unpleasantly surprised later. Ask any Californian who voted for Ah-nuld.

It happened again. The U.S. soccer team playing Mexico in Los Angeles, and the mostly-Latino crowd not only cheered for Mexico, but booed the American team AND the U.S. national anthem. In a rational country, we'd be telling the bas***** to go the hell back where they came from!
Question for the people who run the U.S. soccer team: why do you keep going thru this scenario, anyway? Most American's don't care about soccer, so tell Mexico, "Next time we play, it'll be in Bismarck, North Dakota. In January."
And why do we still have more than 30,000 troops in prosperous South Korea instead of along the U.S.-Mexico border? We truly do live in a land run by morons.

TSA airport thugs: want to know why most people despise you? Here's a good example. In Panama City, Florida, a 95-year-old woman in a wheelchair, ticketed on a flight to Michigan to be with family during the final days of her losing battle with leukemia, was strip-searched by the airport Gestapo and forced to remove her adult diaper.
Day One chore for the next president: fire that detestable idiot, Janet Napolitano, and disband that joke called the "Department of Homeland Security."
The TSA (Transportation Security Agency--part of Napolitano's domain) says, naturally, that their goon-squad did nothing wrong.

POLITICO reports that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has set his sights on the Democratic nomination for 2016 ... and believes that his approval of gay marriage in NY will position him to win. The bill legalizing same-sex matrimony passed in the state Senate ONLY because four Republicans voted for it.
The big winners in the gay marriage movement: divorce lawyers!

Heard enough of that "Arab spring" BS from media liberals? Here's a reality check, from the Italian news service, AKI --
" Hundreds of Muslim extremists surrounded a church in central Egypt and threatened to kill the local priest, the Assyrian International News Agency reported. The extremists began targeting the church in a village 7 kilometres south of the city of Minya in March after renovation work began, threatening to demolish the church.
"AINA Friday cited eyewitnesses as saying that the Muslim mob, dressed in white robes and long beards, chanted: "We will kill the priest, we will kill him and no one will prevent us."
One of their leaders was cited as saying they would "…cut him to pieces," AINA reported."
Security forces came hours later and escorted the priest to the Coptic Diocese local headquarters.
In another village, eight Christian families had their homes burned.
Abuse of Coptic Christians has increased since the uprising, Muslim fanatics seeing it as an opening to murder them and burn their churches.

A reader forwards video of Obama telling another whopping lie, saying that his father served in the military in World War Two. Did not.
If you think the rampages by mobs of black youths occurring in cities all over the country are bad now, just wait 'til their "hero" gets booted out of office.

Ted Turner on the fraud called "global warming": “probably the most serious--and, in all fairness, the most complex--problem that humanity has ever faced.”
We must ascertain whether ol' Ted, legendary boozer, is seriously on the sauce again.

Gene sends this reality check for the pro-illegal immigration mush-heads ...
The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, came out strongly opposing AZ's new immigration laws. Arizona's Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following statement in response to Sarver's criticism of the new law:
"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected.
Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?"

Charlie's "goddesses" are all gone. The second -- and last -- of Charlie Sheen's "girlfriends" has bailed out, taking the Mercedes he gave her. Have you ever seen a TV star decline into insignificance so fast? Could he ever have seriously believed that millions of people cared much about a dope-addled actor in a TV show that depended heavily upon flatulence jokes and other assorted bathroom "humor"?

Peter forwards a petition for a constitutional amendment to reform congress, the key points of which would be:
1. No Tenure / No Pension.A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
3. Congress members can purchase their own retirement plan, just as other Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
Okay, sign me up!

Heard a pseudo-intellectual butcher this one ...
Paris. "City of LIGHT" or "City of LIGHTS"? The former is correct, because the term originated in the Age of Enlightenment when so many great thinkers of the time lived there. You want LIGHTS, you go to Las Vegas.
...AND...
More mangled language ... this time from the world of advertising:
"Product X costs four times LESS than Product Y." Say WHAT????
"...and now, if you'll excuse me..."
