Listen, I love prepubescent boys as much as the next Harry Potter-crazed tween, but should biased “journalists” like David Weigel, who enjoys jokes about health conditions and death, really be trusted to report the news?
From The Daily Caller‘s article “E-mails reveal Post reporter savaging conservatives, rooting for Democrats,” here’s the baby-faced caterpillar-browed writer’s opnion on a garden variety of conservative figures:
“Republicans? “Ratfucking [Obama] on every bill.” Palin? Tried to “ratfuck” a moderate Republican in a contentious primary in New York. Limbaugh? Used “ratfucking tactics” in urging Republican activists to vote for Hillary Clinton in open primaries after Obama had all but beat her for the Democratic nomination.”
All I get from this is that Weigel likes rats and socialism.
Despite being engaged to perhaps the most ungodly man in this world, Katy Perry decided to be Twitter-annoyed with Lady Gaga for her “Alejandro” video. The busty pop artist channeling smurfs tweeted:
“Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.”
Interestingly, the “I Kissed A Girl” artist is living in sin with Russell Brand, who brought us these tidbits in last month’s Rolling Stone interview:
(On his reaction to religious anti-gay protestors): “Oi! You don’t know Jesus! I know Jesus, I’ve just been sucking his cock!”
Kind of like how Lindsay Lohan “chooses” to wear a SCRAM ankle bracelet out to the bars. Obviously this has nothing to do with Helen Thomas’ recent comments that went viral on Drudge about how Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and go back to Poland.
It could also be related to, however, Thomas’ publicist dropping her, getting pretty much every invitation for public speaking revoked, and the fact that she has been appropriately branded an anti-Semite. Maybe.
Alternatively, maybe she realized her Depends didn’t look that good under her black-tie gown at the recent White House Correspondent’s Dinner. My bet’s on that one.
Sad day for anyone who cares about Al Gore (his children, the Unabomber, and fraudulent “green” companies): The Gores are separating after 40 years of marriage.
The former veep couple told POLITICO: “This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration…we ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”
So to recap: Al Gore flunked out of Vanderbilt Law, dropped out of Vanderbilt Divinity, lost in his bid for American presidency, has been generally disgraced for making up all that crap about global whining, and now his wife is leaving him. This guy’s life is not awesome.
No word yet on how the two will divvy up the earthly possessions, but one thing’s for sure: I wouldn’t want to be the one getting stuck with the $30,000/year utility bill on his not-so-green Nashville home.
Here’s their wedding photo. Is it me, or is Gore’s dad a dead-ringer for Joe Biden? And for that matter, does Tipper look like a zoftig Jenna Bush Hager? Just sayin’…
Nancy Pelosi, a Catholic, who voted against a ban on partial-birth abortions (and wants taxpayers to pay for them for illegal immigrants), commented:
“They ask me all the time, ‘What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?’ And one time, ‘What is your favorite word?’ And I said, ‘My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word.”
I will have to check The Scriptures again, but I’m pretty sure Jesus is silent on the topic the Botax.
From NYT (seriously?! you can’t even fool them anymore?!):
“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”
There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.
Napolitano goes so far to add: “I believe it’s a bad law enforcement law. I believe it mandates and requires local enforcement and puts them in a position many do not want to be placed in.”
JEEZ. Just because Obama can get away with “Change we can believe in” doesn’t mean the whole world gets license to end sentences in prepositions.
Apropos of nothing, Obama used his commencement address at Hampton University, an HBC, to rail against iPads, iPods, XBoxes, and all kinds of technology that is trying to advance America:
“With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, — none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation.”
The President then asked for a second, because the BlackBerry from which he was reading his speech started freezing.
He also added, “We can’t stop these changes… but we can adapt to them,” which does not make any sense.
Upset with the free exchange of information that has poked holes in his Utopian outlook for America via his radical changes, he also stated that, “some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction.” Examples include his general ability to run the country, “affordable” health care with the passing of the new bill, global warming, and Scientology.
Despite calling the use of Twitter “terrorism” earlier last January, Chavez has done a 180 and is the most recent political figurehead to enter the social networking realm.
The gauntlet has been thrown regarding the number of followers Chavez can rally. Director Diosdado Cabello of Venezuela’s telecom agency said: “I’m sure he’ll break records for numbers of followers.”
In a thinly veiled attempt to blame that darned two-party system that the United States has successfully been using for two centuries, and not the complete ineptitude of our current president, Shepard Fairey of Obama’s “Obey” poster campaign commented:
“Obama is to me a quality human being and someone that, given the limitations of the two-party system, that’s trying to do a good job … But I have to grade the whole thing on a curve because the two-party system to me is not yielding the results I want to see.”
Fairey is currently embroiled in a lawsuit against the Associated Press, which reprinted his artwork–you know, the pieces where he basically reused other communist countries’ propaganda and called it his own without crediting the “genius” of Mao, Stalin, and other mass murderers–without permission.
