CRUCIFIXION AS ENERGY POLICY ...
BIDEN BABBLES B.S. -- AS USUAL ...
OBAMA'S OWN "SILVER SPOON"

    Make no mistake: The EPA official who apologized for saying that his goal was to "crucify" an oil company to scare the others into compliance with whatever cockamamie rules his misbegotten bureaucracy could dream up ... is sorry ONLY that his words became public.
     This little bureaucrat Hitler provides a clear example of why this entire department should be shut down and all involved fired. Immediately.
     And the fact that an idiot with this kind of mentality should be hired for such a position tells us what Obama really thinks of fellow countrymen -- if we ARE his fellow countrymen -- even as he sheds crocodile tears over the burden he has placed upon them whenever they visit the gas pump.

    Clearly suffering from yet another episode of hoof-in-mouth disease, Biden the Boob unloosed the opinion that Mitt Romney “fundamentally misunderstands” the role of the president. FUNDAMENTALLY?? Who does this clown think he is -- Newt Gingrich??
     The very idea that a spokesparrot for a president with no record of accomplishment as a U.S. Senator or state legislator -- or anything else -- would dare question the qualifications of a man who's been a governor, successfully ran an Olympic event and achieved enormous success in business is beyond absurd. What has the imposter from Illinois/Hawaii/Indonesia/Kenya (?) ever accomplished other than conning a bunch of foolish sheeple into buying a fantasy future?

Quote of the day ...
     "I promise you, the president has a big stick." -- Joe Biden.
     But wasn't it Bill Clinton who first made that boast?

    Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has scheduled a vote for today in support of continuing artificially low interest rates for student loans. Obama plans to take the money for this purpose from health care.
     If Boehner thinks this will drain the votes from silly, naive students, he is living in a dream world.
     Another sign that he, along with Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have long outlived their usefulness.

Jonathan Karl of ABC-TV (!) reveals another slice of Obama phoniness ...
     "President Obama told students at the University of North Carolina Tuesday that he knows what it is like to struggle with student loan debt because he and his wife didn’t pay off their student loans until eight years ago.
    That may be true, but a quick look at the Obamas’ tax returns shows they were making enough to be considered “wealthy” by the president’s own definition in the years before his loans were paid off. Here's what the Obama's reported as income during those "hard years."
2004: $207,647
2003: $238,327
2002: $259,394
2001: $272,759
2000: $240,505

That should've been sufficient to buy a few "silver spoons."

This walking fraud in the White House perfectly exemplifies the time-honored test to determine if a politician is lying: "If his lips are moving, he's lying."

A couple of items from Rasmussen polling ...
     "Many Americans view the bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler more favorably these days, believing incorrectly that the government made money or broke even on them. But the view grows a lot more negative when the actual price tag is attached.
     "A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 20% of American Adults now believe the government made money on the billions in taxpayer dollars given to the two automakers to keep them afloat, while 19% more say the government broke even."
     Wrong! It's been a total money-losing proposition for taxpayers.
         ... and then we have this ...
     "Both President Obama and likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney are backing lower interest rates on some student loans, but nearly half of Americans nationwide believe the availability of student loans has driven up tuition costs for everyone. In fact, most Americans believe it’s better for students to work and attend school for a longer period of time rather than graduate in four years with loads of student debt."
     So 48% of Americans have figured out that easier loans lead to higher college costs ... leading to more loans, etc.  All of which, of course, a pretentious egghead president finds desirable.

More for the poll-cats ...
     Pew Research finds that while Americans have a generally favorable view of their local and state governments --61 percent and 52 percent, respectively -- only 33 percent like the federal government.

    Fortunately for the Dear Leader, a huge negative reaction from rural America has forced the Labor Department to withdraw one of the stupidest proposals ever promoted by this stumblebum, incompetent administration.
     Barack Obama, who never lived on a farm in his life, was pushing for legislation prohibiting farm kids from assisting in the work necessary to keep family farms going.
     Perhaps it was explained to this ignorant fool that farm children have ALWAYS helped out with chores and many forms of farm work.
     As a child, I personally lived that life. It's a good thing for youngsters. It teaches responsibility (e.g., the cows must be fed or there will be no milk) ... it teaches that the real source of food is not the supermarket ... it teaches a respect for animals. And pro-environmentalist that Obama claims to be, he should also be made aware that the farm life teaches concern for the land that comes in a very tangible way; misuse it, and you destroy the family's livelihood.
     Another detail of this misbegotten liberal fantasy: It would kill the 4-H Clubs and their invaluable work among rural youngsters, including concern for conservation.
     This is another clear example of the harm that can be done by a silly city-boy "community organizer" who has no experience in the real world he wants to control. He made a laughingstock of himself in rural America.    Perhaps he should show a pig his Harvard diploma, and notice just how impressed the animal is.

And to think: Democrats once scoffed at Bush Sr. for being unfamiliar with a new model of updated supermarket scanner, when their own pet snob's acquaintance with food sources comes from chowing down on a dog at his home in Indonesia.

Jeffrey Kuhner of the Washington Times looks into a grim future ...
     "France’s decay serves as a warning to America. For centuries, Paris was the cradle of Western civilization. The French, however, have hit hard times. Their country is dying, and most French citizens don’t seem to care. This threatens to be our fate as well.
     "France’s collapse is imminent. America likely will follow. Many of France’s problems - skyrocketing debt, high unemployment, a credit-rating downgrade, a vast and corrupt public sector, the loss of national identity, and nearly unlimited Third World immigration combined with militant multiculturalism - are shared by the United States. Going back to 1776, the destinies of America and France have been intertwined. Sadly, they are both in the twilight of their civilizations."

I am not making this up.
     Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death. The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament. (That would be the Muslim Brotherhood, which Obama persists in telling us is "moderate.")

Sickest joke ever: Two necrophiliacs walking past the mortuary and one says, "Care to stop off for a cold one?"

In the name of all my ancestors, I beg your forgiveness ...

   When you see a leftist protest, which the Big Media are only too eager to give maximum exposure, you should know who's behind the event. We're indebted to the Washington Free Beacon for clarifying this example ...
     "The self-described “Catholic” group protesting Rep. Paul Ryan’s speech at Georgetown University Thursday has ties to the Obama administration and left-wing advocacy groups funded by liberal billionaire George Soros.
     "The protest, which aims to critique Ryan’s “attacks on the poor” and will feature a 50-foot banner reading “Were You There When They Crucified The Poor?” is part of a broader effort to portray the Republican budget as a fundamentally anti-Catholic document heading into the 2012 election season.
     "Catholics United, the group leading the protest, describes itself as a 'nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting the message of justice and the common good found at the heart of the Catholic Social Tradition.'
     "Judging from the organization funding Catholics United, however, the group’s partisan leanings are clear.
     "The Soros-funded Tides Foundation has given $65,000 to the organization since 2007, and has given nearly $200,000 to the affiliated group Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good."

    The Daily Caller reports on another Great Leap Forward for hybrid cars. In Florida, Miami-Dade (the city and county have a joint government) did the politically correct thing and bought 298 new cars, mostly Priuses. They've now outlived their warranties with little or no miles on them. They were bought in 2006 with millions of taxpayer dollars -- and nobody at the agencies to which they were assigned wanted to use them.

The blatherings of a Marxist airhead on TV ...
     On leftist propaganda mill NBC, Today co-host Ann Curry declaiming on the subject of people being able to pay more money to get through airport security faster:
     "...there's an inherent unfairness to it....it's about those with money having an easier life than those who don't. And there's something fundamentally unfair about that."

Go ahead, Ann, say it. "To each according to his needs, " just like your spiritual godfather, Karl Marx, wrote it.

Reader Barry offers hope ...
     A real woman is a man's best friend.
She will never stand him up and never let him down.
She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.
She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret.
She will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires.
She will make sure he always feels as though he's the most handsome man in the room and will enable him to be the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible.
     No, wait. Sorry. I'm thinking of whiskey. It's whiskey that does all that stuff.
Never mind.

     "For the first time in 40 years, more Mexicans are leaving the United States than are coming to it. Not because of our economy. Because they're sick and tired of explaining that Taco Bell isn't real Mexican food."
