WASHINGTON (AP) - Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius recently corrected three years of tax returns and paid more than $7,000 in back taxes after finding "unintentional errors"—the latest tax troubles for an Obama administration nominee. The Kansas governor explained the changes to senators in a letter dated Tuesday that the administration released. She said they involved charitable contributions, the sale of a home and business expenses.
She obviously can't be allowed to take this post if we are to believe what Obama said after his last nominee stepped down. On Feb 23 he said on NBC Nightly News:
"I’ve got to own up to my mistake. Ultimately, it's important for this administration to send a message that there aren't two sets of rules — you know, one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks who have to pay their taxes,"
NEWARK, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool. Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower. Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries. Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph. Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.
Ok, wait, he was arrested for this? Kile Wygle deserves an award and an apology, and he deserves it now! At the very least he should be put in charge of the auto industry. He's clearly an innovator that is ahead of his time. He designed a fuel efficient automobile, and he's arrested for it? Why? Because he likes the sauce? Hey, all geniuses have their flaws. For the good of the country, drop these charges, or I will organize a protest East Side High style like it was Joe Clarke in jail.
Foxnews-"Here's my problem with this, I'm just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it's not because I'm a racist, it's because I don't like what he's doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you're called a racist," Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. "But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he's doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I'm still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we've got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that's the thing I really don't appreciate. If I'm going to disagree with my President, that doesn't make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn't make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous."
Jack McCoy didn't see this one coming. As much as I liked him, he could be a little bitch sometimes. Angie Harmon was the real deal back then, and continues to be today. Listen, she flat out got it done in this interview. To be the badass of the week you've got to put it all on the line. She didn't pull any punches, unlike many Republican politicians that still want to give this clown the benefit of the doubt because they're scared the media will brand them racist. She got right up in Obamas and the medias face, basically did the stanky leg (yes thats my thing today), and they have no response.
Detroit- (AP) But Wagoner is now a high-profile casualty of government intervention, forced out as part of the Obama administration's sweeping last-ditch effort to save the century-old auto giant. Wagoner, 56, who spent 32 years with GM working all over the world, stepped down effective immediately, the company said in a statement early Monday. Ok, so the President of the United States is now firing CEOs of private corporations. Say what you want about whether Wagoner should have a job or not, but the fact of the matter is the President should not be the one making the decision. And I don't want to hear about tax payer money was given to them, so he has the right to make that decision. Tax payer money should never have been given in the first place. Why do we even have bankruptcy in this country anymore? By the way, after all the taxpayer money that has been given to the auto industry, they are still going into bankruptcy.
So to sum up, basically Obama just did the stanky legg all over the private sector.
You just know he walked right into the boardroom, Axelrod laid down the beat, and Obama did the stanky legg right up in Wagoners mug before firing him. Arrogant piece of shit.
This weeks Miss Conservative is an independent novelist. We found her on twitter (where else), where she caught our eye with thoughts like this: Obama's campaign & promise of 'CHANGE', is now translated as "I will CHANGE and forget every campaign promise I made." and Obama closing Gitmo then sending more military to fight terrorism is kinda like joining Weight Watchers & Cupcake of the Day Club.
Enough said. This weeks Miss Conservative is Madison McGraw aks Girl Arsonist
you can email your nominee to theconservativecomeback@yahoo.com . Dont have to be famous. Just hot, smart, and conservative
Just wait until the 1:30 mark in the video...Trust me
Who is your favorite politician?
My favorite politician is the one that observes quietly and only speaks from a place of wisdom and humor. My favorite politician believes in the strength of the USA and keeping us safe. My favorite politician doesn't blame previous administrations; he/she accepts the tasks at hand and asks "how can we best serve Americans" instead of "How can Americans serve me." My favorite politician is a champion of the idea that prosperity is something every individual has the right to seek through working diligently, creatively, and wisely. My favorite politician believes in a hand up, not a hand out. There are many politicians that embody the characteristics of my favorite politician but there is one politician that stands heads above the rest as one that lacks every quality: Obama.
What is the most important issue to you?
The issue that concerns me most is one I reflect on often. The terrorists of 9/11 targeted what they viewed as the heart and soul of America: finances and the military.
Obama and his administration have been voted into the cockpit using marketing tactics and they are piloting America into a dizzying spiral, heading directly into grave dug with shovels labeled ‘Socialism’.
Have you ever thought of running for office?
I'd never run for office, I have too many skeletons in my closet. However, now that I think about it, my skeletons DO qualify me for a position in the Obama administration!
Why are you a conservative?
I've never been a Conservative. I'm a registered Independent that has always voted Democrat until the presidential election of 2008 woke me up. The man that wants to be president attends a church that is racist and anti-American? The man that wants to be president worked for Acorn? The man that wants to be president was campaigned for by William Ayers? The man that wants to be president has no experience?
Yes, thanks to Obama, thanks to the sheep following him, thanks to main street media for behaving like rock band groupies instead of journalists, I'm educating myself on the history of this country, on our founding fathers, on what it really means to be a Patriot and an American.
3.5 years from now, I'll probably be able to give you an actual name when I’m asked ‘Who is your favorite politician?’ It will be the politican that is able to wrestle Obama and his administration out of the cockpit and take Air United States back to blue skies.
Absolutely perfect. To find out more about Madison you can check out her website madisonmcgraw or her blog girlarsonist. If you're on twitter you can follow her @girlarsonist
Ok, Katy Perry needs to stop messin' with my head. Every time I think I've made up my mind about her not being hot, she comes up with a picture like this, and totally redeems herself. I mean she looks phenomonal in that picture.
Am I crazy or is Katy Perry really hot? I'm so confused.
This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen. I can't stop watching it. Enviornmental chicks are so hot. I would definetely ask Syndee for her number if I didn't think she was so crazy she might eat me.
Listen, I'm not one to hop all over a politicans family. If the last 7 months had never happened I would let this story on Joe Bidens daughter slide. As a matter of fact, I'm not even going to cover it. I am, however, going to watch how the media covers it. The media put it all on the line during the campiagn. As we have seen with Bristol Palin, politicians family members personal lives are not off limits.
Can you imagine the media coverage if there was a tape of Bristol Palin allegedly sniffing lines of coke out there? It would get more coverage than if a nuclear bomb went off. And I don't want to hear anything about how Palins daughter reflected hypocrisy on the family values issue. Joe Biden was the man who came up with the drug czar term and has actively fought for a tougher war on drugs.
The media is once again on notice. This is what happens when you go after the 18 yr old daughter of a Republican politician. You have to do the same for a Democrat. We'll be watching.
If you choose not to cover this, fine. But just remember that the next time you have a story on anything having to do with Sarah Palins kids.
Politico- A seemingly unending series of public relations gaffes has Sarah Palin loyalists frustrated and worried she is diminishing her stature. And they blame an inner circle they say is composed of not-ready-for-primetime players. It takes you until the 20th paragraph until you read about one so called gaffe. Seemingly unending? Have I missed something? The "seemingly unending gaffes" that Politico mentions is the turkey getting killed, which I thought was fantastic for exposing whiny little bitches everywhere in America.
Then it mentions the John Ziegler interview. Apparently these gaffes are in the eye of the beholder, because I thought it was about damn time she stood up and said something about the media.
The last one has to do with Capitol Hill Republicans scratching their heads over a mix up between her office and the national party offices. You'd think she was appointing tax cheats and making special olympics jokes by the way this story inflates these "gaffes."
My problem with the story is not the reporters, but the "aides and allies" that are feeling left out of the process.
Several aides and allies from inside and outside last year’s presidential campaign complain of being frozen out by the Alaska governor’s staff and even those who are still in touch with the governor suggest her string of unforced errors are the direct result of having nobody around her to offer sound political advice. I wonder why Palin would freeze some of these people out? Could it be that the first time she doesnt take their advice they go and leak stories about her to, I don't know, Politico. After the way she was handled by DC Republicans during the campaign I would be just as suspicious of them as she seems to be.
Listen, I have never been involved in any type of campaign at all. From the outside looking in, it seems to me that poltical staff from DC are nothing more than mercenaries. They don't have your best interest at heart, and soon as your ship is sinking they hop off and head toward someone elses.
Now her staff may have made some missteps along the way, but nothing I have seen has been so egregious that they should be fired. Certainly they have been better than the crew that was assigned to her during the campaign. The people in this story may very well like Palin and just want to get in and help her. Trust, however, is the biggest asset you can bring to a candidate, and you dont earn that by leaking to the media.
FT- Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes.
Hey Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (LILdS), did you honestly think you were going to call me out and not get a response? You've messed with the wrong blue eyed white guy. The days of me yelling at my TV are over. I've got a blog now, and I'm not afraid to use it.
Therefore, consider this my formal challenge to you. I want to fight you. No holds barred, steel cage match. I prefer a street brawl style, but if you would like to use karate, feel free. I must warn you, although I have never taken a karate lesson, my brother did when he was 12, making it all the way to an orange belt. We fought often in our youth, therefore I will know many of your moves. Choose this style with caution.
I am disappointed that it has come to this. But, you have left me with no other option. I dont have much going for me in this world. I've run this blog for over 2 months and adsense says I have made 7 dollars. One of the things I have always been happy with however, are my blue eyes. I refuse to sit back and let you demonize them.
Because I believe in the rule of law and fair play, I will leave you with one last warning. Many think the bear hug is indefensible. This myth may still be alive in Brazil. Know that if you do try and bear hug me, you do so at your own risk. I have been schooled in the defense of this technique.
Portsmouth, NH- Police arrested a city woman on a charge of indecent exposure alleging she was collecting dog feces while naked from the waist down. Susan Bell, 42, of 76 Manor Drive, was arrested Thursday after turning herself in on a warrant for the misdemeanor charge, said Police Sgt. Darrin Sargent. The charge alleges that on Feb. 28 at 6:20 a.m., Bell was pantless while picking up dog feces in a Manor Drive courtyard. Following her arrest, Bell was released on her own recognizance and she has not yet been scheduled for an arraignment.
Listen, if this happened in any other state you wouldnt hear a peep out of me. But this is New Hampshire. Call me old fashioned, but I actually believed in their motto "Live Free or Die." Unfortunately for Susan Bell, she believed in their slogan as well. All she wanted to do was pick up dog shit without any pants on. Who are we to judge her on that? Are we really going to hold it against this lady because she obviously paid attention to her teacher in 4th grade when they were going over state mottos? Is that the lesson we are trying to teach our children?
New Hampshire needs to wise up. I am offering my legal services to Susan Bell, free of charge. Even though I was a 7 year phys ed major, my legal experience has been impressive. In 9th grade American History I was the lead prosecutor that convicted the Rosenburgs in our mock trial. We fried those bastards. Unless you want me as a defense attorney for Susan Bell, I demand you drop these charges immedietely!
I'm pretty sure thats Jake Tapper that is bitch slapping Robert Gibbs. In all honesty if every reporter covering the campaign was as good of a journalist as Jake Tapper is, Obama wouldn't have gotten 35% of the vote. Thats a fact, lock it up.
I dont want journalists to start kissing conservatives asses like they do liberals. I just want them to be as skeptical of liberals as they are of conservatives. If you think a skeptical press would've bought into all the bullshit the Obama campaign was spreading then you're crazy.
No more posts for the night. Got tickets to the Pitt Xavier, Duke Villanova games tonight. Heading to the Garden pretty soon. Talk about whatever you want.
Boston- A school administrator wants to set the record straight: There are no vampires at Boston Latin. The headmaster of the prestigious exam school took the unusual step today of sending a notice to faculty, students, and parents saying that "rumors involving 'vampires'" had begun spreading through the building Wednesday, causing disruption and anxiety for a number of students. "At no time was anyone's safety in jeopardy," she said. Officer Eddy Chrispin, a Boston Police spokesman, said police went to the school Wednesday after hearing that some students were spreading rumors there were vampires in the school. "I'm not sure whether [the supposed vampires] were among the student body or whether they were inhabiting the old corners and crevices of the building," he said. "We did go over there and speak to some of the students and quelled the rumors that were going and kind of told them the effect those rumors could have on the rest of the student population," he said.
Listen, I dont sugarcoat things here. What I'm going to tell you might sting a bit. If your high school aged kid is nervous there are vampires at his high school, you're in a lot of trouble. Lets face it, you dont want to bring him to a psychiatrist and explain to another person that your kid is a fucking lunatic. It's embarrassing. I think the best thing for everybody would be to have a total breakdown like Ben Affleck in the Aaron Henry story. Just completely fuck up everything and try to start over. Good luck
White House Allies Target Moderate Dems. If Obama was the moderate that the media has told us he is, why is it that he has to convince moderates and not the far left?
Because I take my job as a blogger so seriously here, I have examined this picture for minutes. The obvious takeaway from this is going to have something to do with the chick who broadcasts her love of "B-jays". Listen, that's easy. I mean I spent 7 years in college for a reason.
So study that front row, take in the girl for awhile and then direct your attention to the real comedy. What is up with the black guy in the Cliff Huxtable sweater??? I mean was he photoshopped into the student section? He's got a gray goatee and he looks absolutely miserable. If you tell me he doesn't remind you of this guy, then I dont want to talk to you anymore.
This post from vodkapundit is a must read today. It calls Obama out on one of his many lies
If you’re brain-dead enough to accept the President’s rosy scenario, his best year still has 25% more red ink than President Bush’s worst year. And keep in mind that — again, by Obama’s own spendthrift reckoning — Obama’s best year assumes 3% growth, while Bush’s worst year suffered a 2% or greater contraction. Head on over to vodkapundit to read the rest and check out the devastating chart that goes along with it.
Boston Herald- The honeymoon is over, according to a national poll out today as President Obama’s job approval stumbles to about 50 percent over the lack of improvement with the crippled economy.
The sobering numbers come as the president backpedals from two prime-time gaffes - one comparing his bowling score to a Special Olympian and another awkwardly laughing about the economy, which prompted Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” to ask “are you punch-drunk?”
Ok, this should be sent to all the pussies in the GOP that wouldn't criticize Obama because his poll numbers were too high. Times up bitches, get to work.
On a serious note, is there anything more irritating than politicians that only take a position based on poll numbers? I guess syphillis would be more irritating, but I mean in a political way. Obama doesnt breathe in the morning until poll numbers come in saying it's still popular. Unfortunately there a lot of Republican politicians in DC that do the same thing.
Ok first off, let me say that after watching him on 60 minutes last night, Obama might be worse than I thought. And I had already ranked him somewhere between dog shit and SARS. I couldn't believe some of the answers he was giving. I havent sat in stunned silence like that since Daniel Laruso made his amazing run through the '84 All Valley Karate Championship.
There was one difference between those two feelings though. Larusso inspired hope in my 4 year old heart, while Obama inspired (?) fear. When you actually listen to him you realize that he makes no sense at all. Here is a guy who rebukes Cheney by saying that the American justice system is good enough to handle the guys at Gitmo, but then 2 sentences later says that they dont need to be read their Miranda rights. Arent Miranda rights part of the American justice system? That probably would have been a good follow up question, but understandably there wasn't enough time to ask that and still get to the important issues like swing sets.
This is the first time that his decisons, his actions, will actually affect other peoples lives. He has never been in charge of anything before. This is a guy who thought Rev Wright was a good preacher, Bill Ayers was a good guy to have on his side, Bill Richardson would make a good Commerce Secretary, and Timothy Geithner could run the Treasury...by himself. I haven't seen somebody make this many bad decisions since Dana Plato was around. Lets just hope their is only 4 years of this guy and his teleprompter left.
fmylife.com is fast becoming one of my favorite sites to check out every day. Nothing makes me happier than reading other peoples misery. It makes me feel better about myself. Anyway, one of our new segments is going to be the FML showdown, where we'll pit two people against eachother to see which life sucks more.
Finally we get a Miss Conservative that is not from California. They were starting to embarrass the rest of the country. This weeks winner comes to you from Illinois. She is the Secretary of RNHA of IL Cook Chapter, the Hispanic Outreach Lead and IL Chair for Smart Girl Politics. Your Miss Conservative of the Week is Christina Villanueva.
you can email your nominee to theconservativecomeback@yahoo.com . Dont have to be famous. Just hot, smart, and conservative
A picture with her mother, who she calls her inspiration.
1) Who is your favorite politician?
I would definitely have to say former President George W. Bush. He made a lot of decisions that were not easy nor popular. Many people were not happy with him by the end of his term but he was not in it for a popularity contest. He did what he beieved to be was right and best for the country. Of course there were decisions that were not the best but he stuck by his decisions no matter what. He didn't try to blame others if the outcome was negative. I can respect his stand more than someone whos beliefs are never clear but are double-minded in all they do.
2) What is the most important issue to you?
Sustaining morality. Things in our society have become perverted - where right is wrong and wrong is right.
3) Ever think of running for office?
I have and others have made the suggestion. I know there are those who would say that there's too much stress involved and yes, it's apparent there is. If you pay enough attention to the media you can imagine how much stress and invasion comes into a person's life but for those who want to make a difference in the world -- it definitely will take courage and perseverance -- I choose look at things from former President John Quincy Adams point of view, “Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.” Stress? What Stress? LOL
Though I must note, I don't believe running for office is the only way to make a difference, there are definitely other ways to get involved.
4) Why are you a conservative?
I was born that way. All kidding aside, I did grow up in a conservative home but my beliefs and values stem from what the word of God, the Bible, establishes as right and wrong. It is embedded inside of me and to quote Martin Luther when he was being tried before the Roman Catholic church, “I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.” I pray that I have that same courage and resolve when my time comes.
For those of you who have read this blog since its inception 2 months ago, you know that many of the posts are humorous and use sarcasm almost all the time. This isn't one of those posts.
Once again Barack Obama was without his teleprompter, and once again Barack Obama screwed up. Last night he was on with Jay Leno and made his now infamous Special Olympics joke. Whether you find the joke offensive or not, it exposed Obama as the liberal elitist that he is. A man who thinks he is above others, while claiming to be their champions.
I work with special needs kids every day. During the fall we go bowling on Fridays. There is no doubt in my mind that many of these kids would destroy Barack in this sport. There is one difference though between these kids and the President. They wouldn't laugh at him. They wouldn't make fun of him. As a matter of fact, they would cheer for him every time he was lucky enough to knock down a pin, and pat him on the back when he didn't knock down any at all.
We were told during the campaign what a compelling story Barack Obamas life was. How he was born to a single mother and made something of his life. Barack Obama has no clue what it is like to have the deck stacked against him like these kids do. Obamas struggle is a walk in the park compared to these kids. And yet, they are some of the happiest and most thankful kids you will ever meet. They certainly have never played the victimhood game like your wife has, Barack. And yet the man who supposedly inspires hope, chooses to target these kids in order to get a laugh from the audience. It should tell you something about this mans character.
While we are on the subject of Barack Obama and special needs kids, there is one more fact that needs to be pointed out. I have conversations with these kids every day, and not once have any of them needed a teleprompter in order to finish a sentence. The same can't be said for our current President. Who's the real joke?
UPDATE- For the record, I pride myself in being one of the most politically incorrect people out there (not that this has been questioned by anyone). I dont think Obama should resign, like he felt Imus should in 2007, or even be forced to give a half assed apology. I just find it pretty amazing that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES took the time in the middle of the worst economy since the great depression (his words) to go on a late night talk show and make a joke about special needs kids. Again it says more about him and his priorities.
And now with a hat tip to hotair we have two videos dealing with the special olympics. Little by little the media myth of this man is starting to fall apart.
FENTON, Mo. (AP) -- A legally blind man was credited with saving a woman after authorities said a 45-year-old man broke into her apartment on Saturday night. Authorities said the man, a convicted rapist, was waiting for the woman to return home from work. A neighbor who asked to be identified only as Jerry heard noises coming from the apartment. Jerry is blind in his left eye and has about 25 percent vision in his right eye.
Jerry told KTVI-TV that he went to the apartment and kicked open the door, surprising the would-be attacker, who locked the door. The woman came home and confirmed she didn't know the man in her apartment, and police took the suspect away.
The man was charged with burglary. The investigation is continuing.
Im calling bullshit on this story right now. I mean, this is the oldest trick in the book. You have a friend pretend to attack a girl and then you come in to save the day. Only Jerry (if that is your real name) took it one step further, and played the old "Im blind" routine. Im just saying, it's been done.
After months of having issues distorted, her family disected, and outright lies spread about her, Palins approval index is at +21
After months of adoring press coverage, controversies swept under the rug, and being compared to Jesus, Obamas approval index is +4
Now Id like to talk to Barack man to man for a second.
Ya see, heres the problem Barry. You have never, ever held a job where you are accountable, where you are the man in charge. You hardly ever showed up to vote as a senator. More than 100 times you voted present while in the Illinois State Legislature. You now have a job where you actually have to work. It's a 4 letter word to you, I know, but you're the one who ran for this job. And don't you dare blame it on the teleprompter. That thing has carried you further than Jordan carried Pippin. It's time to look in the mirror and admit that you're in over your head.
Ive watched this thing over and over and I still can't believe its real. That amateur sketch is probably the greatest thing Ive ever seen in my life. How has this town not become a reality TV show? I wouldn't be able to leave the house. It doesnt get any better than the crackhead lady, and I'll take that statement to the grave.
Oh and NBC15 in Mobile, you are now my favorite news team in America.
People are up in arms today because AIG, a company that was bailed out with taxpayer money, paid $165 million in bonuses. Should people angry? Sure, why not. The only problem is those people who are angry are basically the ones responsible.
The fact of the matter is AIG should no longer be a company. They should be out of business. Those same people that are furious with this company are mostly the ones who bought into the hysteria that the politicians fed them. What would we do without AIG? The economy would cease to exist. Well, let this be a lesson to people. When you give businesses that have been completely mismanaged billions of dollars... they are going to mismanage that money. What would possess them to get their act together? There is no longer a fear of failure for them. They have already failed, and they were saved.
So when you continue to read about AIG and other companies that were bailed out, which will undoubetdly make poor decisions in the future, just remember that if we had stood up to the fear mongering, these companies would no longer exist. They would be where they should be. Out of business. And believe it or not, the economy would survive. Sure there would be a downturn for awhile but we could come out of it stronger. Businesses led by smart people would step in and take the place of those that had failed. But those days of responsibility, for now, are gone. Remember this when the next bailout comes along.
Let me just start out by saying that I am not a fan of cokeheads. Never have been, probably never will be. Now Im not saying there as bad as crackheads, because there in a whole other league, but the cokehead is not a friend of mine. They seem to have a way of irritating me.
Take the cokehead I met in Las Vegas two years ago. I end up stopping in a strip club at 2am. Now at the time I was 26, so by law I had to go there. There were beautiful women everywhere. So I ended up leaving and went back the next day to kill time between checking out from my hotel and when my plane left. Never has a place changed more in a few hours than this place. It was like the Seinfeld episode when George brings Jerry to show him the club with the beautiful models, only now its an abandoned warehouse. This place was a disaster. I end up sitting at the bar and within minutes a cokehead girl is pulling up a seat next to me. How do I know she was a cokehead? The sniffing was the first hint (it was 99 degrees that weekend) Then there was the time she told me what she did for work (she had told me 4 times already). But the biggest give away was when I looked at her and saw that she had no idea that her nose was bleeding like someone had turned on a faucet. It was starting to pool up on the bar. Right then and there I said, enough is enough with cokeheads.
The thing is I have finally found the cure. It's so amazingly simple I can't believe it took me this long to realize it. The most famous cokehead in the world right now is Barack Obama. What changed this man from a bumbling fool to someone people call a great speaker: The teleprompter. Dont believe me. Just check out this guy when his cure malfunctions:
It's frightening, but it doesnt have to happen anymore. Obama doesnt order dinner without his teleprompter near him, and cokeheads across America shouldn't have to either. Just think of how much money this country could save. The War on drugs would be over. I wouldnt have to listen to that girl tell me she worked as a data processor 5 times. The teleprompter would get to that, and move on.
Now unfortunately, as we have seen with Obama, the teleprompter does not help with certain decision making skills. Things like cabinet appointments, economic plans, and letting your mother in law live with you, will all still remain questionable. But we can take a vast majority of cokeheads and make them seem like they know what they are doing.
Now, I know when someone brought up Obamas drug use during the campaign that this created a media firestorm of scrutiny on that person. It wasn't relevant, we were told and that person resigned. Now in the wake of the medias disection of Sarah Palins daughters relationship, maybe it's not so out of bounds. Just think of how many cokeheads a teleprompter could help as opposed to the relationship of an 18 yr old girl. I dont know, Im just throwing it out there.
There is not a better free market guy in the media than John Stossel. He can make politicians look much more foolish than Jon Stewart does. The only thing is, the rest of the media doesn't going around hyping him up after a show like this, like they do with Stewart after the Cramer incident. I wonder why that is???
THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that General Petraeus is planning on delivering the commencement address at the University of Iowa in 2010.”So reports Michael Goldfarb, late of the McCain campaign, on the magazine’s blog.Petraeus going to Iowa, a state he doesn’t have previous ties to, is going to create a huge amount of buzz about his presidential ambitions because the Iowa Caucuses kick off the whole presidential nomination process. If he does, deliver the address—and Petraeus must know this—it will be seen as a sign that he is thinking about running in 2012.Previously, it has been thought that Petraeus would not run against a president who had been his Commander in Chief. But there are reports of tension between Petraeus and Obama over both Iraq and Afghan strategy.Very little is known about Petraues’s politics and no one knows how he would make the transition from soldier to politician. But if he did enter the race, it would shake things up dramatically. He would instantly become a top tier candidate and the most serious threat to Obama's chances of winning a second term.
This is not the first time that I have heard there is tension between Petraeus and Obama. I dont care where Obamas approval numbers are (and they are falling) the one guy he cannot win a public battle against is David Petraeus. If there is serious tension and behind the scenes turmoil look for a media campaign to begin from the White House to try and discredit this man. They will find it will be a lot harder to do than it was with Rush, Rick Santelli, and Jim Cramer.
UPDATE-The Hill is reporting that this is untrue. Gen Petraeus has not been asked to speak in Iowa.
Boston Herald- Outrage is sweeping Beacon Hill after Gov. Deval Patrick quietly slipped a $175,000 plum job to a political pal while squeezing taxpayers to pay more for less from the debt-ridden state government.
Asking citizens to fork over 19 cents more per gallon at the gas pump while bracing for cuts of cops and teachers, Patrick awarded supporter Marian Walsh the pricey plum as assistant executive director of the state’s Health and Educational Facilities Authority.
The job has been vacant for 12 years. The appointment of Walsh, 54, a Democratic state senator from West Roxbury, was revealed amid news of a $1 billion state deficit while Patrick continued his vacation in Jamaica.
This is the guy that Obama used to plagiarize on the campaign trail. This is the guy who ran on the exact same platform. They used the same phrases, such as hope and yes we can. Axelrod was in charge of running both these clowns and we see what has happened to Massachusetts. The rest of the country isn't far behind.
They both promised to reform politics and make it transparent. The only shocking thing is Obamas first two months in office might be worst than Devals, and thats saying something.
Boston Herald- (AP)FOX POINT, Wis. - A robber gets more than he bargained for when he targets a Tae Kwon Do (TEYE KWAN DOH) studio in suburban Milwaukee. The robber thought he could quietly slip in and out of David Kang’s studio in Fox Point with some loot.
What he didn’t realize is that he would encounter a Tae Kwon Do master who wasn’t about to let him off the hook. Kang was giving a private lesson Tuesday and heard someone in his office. Kang found the man going through his closet, grabbed him by the neck and sat him down while he called police.
The robber took off and Kang gave chase, finally catching up with the man and holding him by the neck until police arrived.
Is this guy serious? He chose a guy named David Kang to rob? If the Karate Kid and Mr. Miyage taught us anything, it was you leave the Asians alone. Thats rule #1 of robbery. They're a wild card. I mean I wouldn't even try to rob an Asian midget. It's not worth the gamble.
I found this guy the other day on my back porch. I tried feeding him and it turns out that he is not very friendly because i think he may be scared. Not quite sure the breed but I am assuming he is part Siamese. I have him in a crate because he is not really house broken. If he is yours please reply.
WSJ- Presidents throughout history have kept lists of political foes. But the Obama White House is the first I am aware of to pick targets based on polls. Even Richard Nixon didn't focus-group his enemies list.
Team Obama -- aided by Clintonistas Paul Begala, James Carville and Stanley Greenberg -- decided to attack Rush Limbaugh after poring over opinion research. White House senior adviser David Axelrod explicitly authorized the assault. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel assigned a White House official to coordinate the push. And Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gleefully punched the launch button at his podium, suckering the White House press corps into dropping what they were doing to get Mr. Limbaugh.
Of course the White House misfired on this. Has there been anything they have been right on since entering the White House? They have been a disaster. It seems like every week a cabinet member is stepping down or an appointee is having their office raided. This is a guy who offends the British because he's in over his head, yet the White House has time to plan strategy on how to target a radio host. Obama is so overwhelmed right now he makes Joaquin Phoenix look stable.
This clip of the day is unusual for one reason...It was a test for all men across the country, and even the world. If at any point you thought of stopping this video because you couldn't understand what she was saying...you are gay. I hate to be the one to break it to you (not that theres anything wrong with that)
Fact of the matter is this weatherlady could be a Lieutenant in Al Queda and I'd still be in love with her.
Boston Herald- (AP) More than one out of every five dollars of the $126 million Massachusetts is receiving in earmarks from a $410 billion federal spending package is going to help preserve the legacy of the Kennedys. The bill includes $5.8 million for the planning and design of a building to house a new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate. The funding may also help support an endowment for the institute.
The bill also includes $22 million to expand facilities at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum and $5 million more for a new gateway to the Boston Harbor Islands on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a park system in downtown Boston named after Kennedy’s mother and built on land opened up by the Big Dig highway project.
This family might actually be bigger frauds than Barack. Talk about a family that is built on mythology. To review scandals between Republicans and Democrats lets take a look at Teddy.
A Republican was forced to resign because he puts his foot in a stall hoping to pick up one of Barney Franks old boyfriends. A Democrat becomes the "Lion of the Senate" and has millions in federal money spent on him after he drives a woman off a bridge and leaves her to die. Good to know.
ABC-Researchers say a chimpanzee at a Swedish zoo has proven that apes are as capable of forward planning as humans.
Zoo minders have uncovered hundreds of stone caches being used by the chimp to hoard ammunition to hurl at visitors.
The chimp at the centre of this study, an alpha male in his 30s called Santino, lives at Furuvik Zoo to the north of Stockholm.
His war against the visiting public began in the 1990s, when he got into the habit of collecting stones from the moat surrounding his artificial island. Santino would stack these up in the morning and then wait for visiting time when the bombardment would begin.
However the chimp was not only capable of this unusual example of forward planning. He also managed to break lumps of concrete into manageable sized missiles by checking for their weak points.
I couldn't like this chimp anymore if I tried. Any monkey can shit on his hand and throw it at people. This guy was a pioneer that took it to another level. He could eat someones face and I'd still have a soft spot in my heart for him.
Boston Herald- A Brockton dad who wrestled a loaded shotgun away from a man who robbed his Brockton convenience store yesterday afternoon said he did what he had to do to save his nephew and wife, who stood next to him when the gun-wielding thug demanded cash.
“I jump on him and I got the gun with two hands and then he started fighting. We were fighting,” recounted Cape Verde immigrant 48-year-old Bebiano Correia, whose store, Universal Grocery Food Market was robbed Sunday afternoon. “He didn’t want to give me the gun.” Correia, a married dad of six, said the struggle lasted two minutes, and ultimately ended with the thief abandoning his loaded pistol grip shotgun, swiping $200 cash and fleeing.
“He didn’t think I was so quick like that,” he said while at work this morning. “I didn’t know what would happen if I didn’t react. I had to defend my wife, my nephew was here. Maybe he wanted to kill us? My impression was to react very quickly and I did.”
Usually this is a spot reserved for political badasses, but today we go straight to a real life badass. There is nothing better than a guy going into a store to rob the place and then getting the shit kicked out of him by a pissed of owner.
The rest of the country needs to step up because California is starting to dominate the Miss Conservative of the Week segment. For the third week in a row this state is home to the new Miss Conservative. She is President/CEO and founder of Services for Success, Inc., a business management consulting firm. She is a keynote speaker and certified trainer for business and women's issues. The new Miss Conservative is a co-host on her own online talk radio show at Only2degrees.com. And she is the 2007 recipient of the Citizen of the Year award from the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce. Your new Miss Conservative is Lisa Vinton.
you can email your nominee to theconservativecomeback@yahoo.com . Dont have to be famous. Just hot, smart, and conservative
1) Who is your favorite politician? Sarah Palin. She will fight for what’s right regardless of pressure from others.
2) What is the most important issue to you? National Security
3) Have you ever considered running for office? I’ve been asked to run for city council, but I’m not thick skinned enough to handle it!
4) Why are you a conservative? I believe strongly that the government should stay out of private industries, including banks & healthcare, and let the people run the country. Americans should be responsible for their own actions and not be given handouts by the government every which way they turn.

It's songs like this one that make me wish I was a closer for the Red Sox. Not for the money or groupies, but for the look on peoples faces when I picked this song to play when I was called in from the bullpen.
If this guy would only throw in a few God Damn Americas and USof KKKA, Barack would've found himself his new preacher. But, the search continues.
PORTSMOUTH — When Britta Osberg’s ex-boyfriend asked her to return a ring, she punched him in the face twice, leaving the ring’s imprint on his cheek, police allege, reports the Portsmouth Herald. Based on those allegations, Osberg, 19, of 110 Perkins Road, Rye, is scheduled to be arraigned in Portsmouth District Court Monday on two class A misdemeanor counts of simple assault. According to an affidavit by Officer Eric Kinsman, the alleged victim told police he went to a city gas station to retrieve the ring from Osberg, she refused to return it and they began to argue. During the argument, Osberg is alleged to have twice punched her ex in the face.
Face it guys, when you go to ask for that ring back, you better have your head on swivel, because anything goes. If you make it out of that confrontation without anything being chopped off, you gotta consider that a win.
As for the picture, I dont know what to think. Part me says she looks pretty cute. And if you look cute in a mugshot you've got serious potential. Another part says she looks like she'd murder me, but that could be the whole mugshot factor again. I'll have to wait until pictures of her being arraigned come out before I make a final judgement on whether she is hot. It's only fair to her.
I have to disagree with Rush Limbaughs recent statement about Ted Kennedy. Speaking the other day about health care reform he said, "Before it's all over, it'll be called the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill." This was picked up by Politico and the AP to try and start some sort of controversy. So I have to disagree with Rush on this statement. After all, this is the "Lion of the Senate" that we are talking about. We must show the proper respect.
So, I do not think that this bill should be named the Ted Kennedy Memorial bill. The Conservative Comeback is opting to name this bill after someone who is already deceased. Somebody who shows the true compassion of Ted Kennedys quest for health care. This bill will now be called the Mary Jo Kopechne Memorial health care bill.
Just think of the great lengths that Teddy went through to ensure that Mary Jo received the proper health care on her final day. I only hope the health care bill that he is now crafting helps us the way he helped her. We here at The Conservative Comeback have read a portion of the bill that has not yet been made public. Under this bill EMTs will respond to emergency situations by checking into a hotel for 8 hours and hoping with their fingers crossed that the person gets better on their own. They will then make a few phone calls, complain about the noise in the next room, take a nice nap, and then maybe go to the scene to see if the victim is still there. It is truly going to be a great change for the health care industry.
I couldn't think of a man who would be better at crafting this health care bill than Ted Kennedy. He has the resume to back it up and Rush Limbaugh should respect that. So consider this my formal disagreement with Rush on the health care bill. The "Lion of the Senate" is the only man who truly understands the right that people have to quality health care. Just ask Mary Jo.
Real Clear Politics-Forget the pork. Forget the waste. Forget the 8,570 earmarks in a bill supported by a president who poses as the scourge of earmarks. Forget the "$2 trillion dollars in savings" that "we have already identified," $1.6 trillion of which President Obama's budget director later admits is the "savings" of not continuing the surge in Iraq until 2019 -- 11 years after George Bush ended it, and eight years after even Bush would have had us out of Iraq completely.
Forget all of this. This is run-of-the-mill budget trickery. True, Obama's tricks come festooned with strings of zeros tacked onto the end. But that's a matter of scale, not principle.
All presidents do that. But few undertake the kind of brazen deception at the heart of Obama's radically transformative economic plan, a rhetorical sleight of hand so smoothly offered that few noticed.
You should definitely check out the whole article because it nails Obama on all his lies when it comes to his budget. My only problem with Krauthammers article is the title. It needs to cross off the last word, plans. Deception is at the core of Obama, period. Everything about this guy is deception. We already put an end to the myth of Obama as a brilliant man and great speaker yesterday. As time goes by more and more people will wake up to the fact that this guy is a clown.
Politico- Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small.
After the teleprompter malfunctioned a few times last summer and Obama delivered some less-than-soaring speeches, reports surfaced that he was training to wean himself off of the device while on vacation in Hawaii. But no such luck.
Here is a reminder of what Obama sounds like when his teleprompter malfunctions
Hopefully this puts an end to one of the many myths about Obama, that he is a great speaker. He is a terrible speaker. He is a great reader. If you want someone to read you a bed time story, Obama is your man. If Hooked on Phonics needs a new spokesman, I would recommend Barack. But if you want a President who can put thoughts together on his own and articulate them, Obama is a complete disaster. This is the biggest empty suit to hold any job...ever. How much does he rely on a teleprompter? Check this out.
Obama has relied on a teleprompter through even the shortest announcements and when repeating the same lines on his economic stimulus plan that he's been saying for months
Myth #2 goes out the window right there. That he is somehow this brilliant man. He's a moron. The guy needs a teleprompter to repeat the same small talking points that he has been saying for months in a row. This is like a 14 yr old still using training wheels on a bike. I'm actually a little embarrassed for him.
So to all the milquetoast Republicans out there, you no longer have to preface your statements by saying how brilliant or how great a speaker Obama is, because he is far from either of those.
This story brings me back to one of my favorite youtube videos from the campaign.
Enterprise— Stonehill College senior Katie Freitas was worried that her fellow students were having unprotected sex, so she placed boxes of free condoms in common areas of some residence halls. Problem is that Stonehill is a Catholic college which frowns on such behavior and is not allowing it anymore. I'm not here to argue the premise of the story. That's above my pay grade. I'm here to talk about the picture.
That picture is reason #1 as to why men all across this country are petrified of having a daughter. Now, Im pretty sure I dont have any kids, but I imagine when your daughter is born you pray that she's healthy and hope that she grows up to a be a productive member of society, whether it be a doctor, teacher, or any other respectable job. You also pray that she doesn't do a couple of things. One of them is become a stripper. And I'd imagine somewhere on the list you would find, holding a bowl full of condoms with a kool aid smile the size of Texas.
She is cute though, and obviously she likes to party
Remember when the Chicago tough guy, Obama said this
NPR- President Obama took a moment Wednesday to comment on how the nation's capital handles bad weather. He joked about bringing "flinty Chicago toughness" to Washington, D.C.
Now we find out that he cancels press conferences because of... snow
Telegraph- Strange goings on surrounding the programme for the first day of Gordon Brown's visit to Washington.No sooner had the Prime Minister's plane touched down at Andrews Air Force on Monday evening when word was passed to travelling Westminster correspondents that the press conference they'd been told to expect had been called off "because of snow".>
The Brits aren't happy about it either. Good thing he's gotten to work on us being liked by our allies again. Pussy.
Hollywood Reporter- Fresh from his best actor Oscar for his performance as Harvey Milk, Sean Penn is pushing California to officially recognize the late gay politician's birthday.
State Sen. Mark Leno plans to reintroduce a bill Tuesday with Penn by his side designating Milk's birthday a "day of significance."
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the same bill last year.In his veto message, the governor said Milk should be honored in San Francisco but not statewide.Leno says Penn's award shows that Schwarzenegger's argument about Milk being only of provincial interest no longer holds up.
I'm sorry but I can't come out in favor of this holiday. I mean the guy has got enough play already with a movie made about him.
So sorry Sean Penn, but the Conservative Comeback is countering your measure by lobbying for a Jim J Bullock day. The guy flat out carried Hollywood Squares by himself for 3 years and has never seen an ounce of gratitude.
Politico-“If it seems like I’m angry, it’s because I am,” McCain said, taking the White House to task for treating the bill as leftover business — and not subject to the full measure of earmark reform promised by candidate Obama. “Last year’s business?” McCain asked, incredulous. “The president will sign this appropriations bill into law. It is the president’s business. It is the president of the United States’ business. It is the president of the United States’ business to do what he said — stated — when we were in debate seeking the support of the American people — where he said he would work to eliminate earmarks.”
“We need earmark reform and when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure we’re not spending money unwisely,” McCain said, reading back Obama’s words at a debate last fall. “That’s the quote, the promise of the president of the United States made to the American people in a debate with me in Oxford, Miss. So what is brought to the floor today — 9,000 earmarks.…So much for change.”
I've got to give McCain credit for this. I don't agree with him on everything, but on this point he is 100% correct. Obama is not some pragmatic politician that many intellectual Republicans were hoping he would be. He is a flat out big spending, big government liberal.
I am actually very surprised at how outspoken McCain has been against Obama. I thought he would cover for Obama while trying to get back in the good graces of the media. But he has slammed him on spending every step of the way so far. Keep it up.
Earlier I posted how I'm not a big fan of Tayshaun Prince. It's nothing personal, but he plays for the Pistons. Now, I hate the Pistons. So rather than explain why, I'll let Johnny Most do that for me.
620WTMJ-A man in Waukesha County is facing a misdemeanor charge for negligent handling of burning materials. Pewaukee Police say Steven Flaugher realized that some plastic had caught fire on his stove, but didn't try to put it out or call for help. Police say he was busy... watching porn.
This guy was arrested for this? He should be given a medal. I don't think I've ever read a more inspirational story in my life. Talk about dedication to your craft, this guy kept his focus when everyone else in the apartment complex was panicking. You don't teach poise like that, you're born with it, and Stephen Flaugher is the definition of poise.
I can't get enough of Bobby Rush. This guy is priceless. He could be the most unintenionally funny person out there right now. In his latest defense of Roland Burris he takes a backhanded swipe at Ted Kennedy that would make Roger Federer proud.
Politico-Rush, who also is a minister, apparently referred to Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) when he spoke of a politician who "drove off a bridge. People died."
Is this guy good or what? He may not be able to speak coherently but he can still deliver the goods. He wasn't given the memo that you have to be nice to the "lion of the senate."
Heres a good one liner that Bobby can use next time. Q) So why do they call Ted Kennedy the lion of the senate? A) Because lions have killed people to. Zing. That ones a big crowd pleaser Bobby.
By the way Politico has a huge story about a fight between Rush Limbaugh and Michael Steele at the top of the page while this is a small story down the bottom. To recap, a radio host who argues with the head of the RNC is a major lead story while a Democrat congressman reminds everyone that the leading Democrat senator over the past 5 decades killed a woman is minor issue. Good to know.
It has been clear for me since Obama started campaigning that he is a man who lives by the motto, "Do as I say, not as I do." What else would explain the parties that the White House is throwing on a weekly basis? These parties are being thrown at the same time that he tells us we are on the verge of the great depression. That everyone must sacrifice. Apparently sacrifice doesn't extend to the White House, atleast not when wagyu beef is being served.
The one question that I have always asked, and still have to ask is, Who is this guy? The media certainly wasn't interested in finding out. His contradictions on where exactly he is from continue right up to his time now in the White House. When he was calling people in DC a bunch of pussies for cancelling school during a snow storm, he was some tough guy from Chicago where school is never cancelled. When justification was needed on why he had the heat at 72 in the oval office, it was because he's from Hawaii and "likes it warm". This glaring bit of hypocrisy came after his campaign speech in which he said, "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times." Fact #1 about Obama. When he says we, he means you.
Now the fact that Obama is clearly a fraud isn't a surprise to me, but it must come as a shock to the "intelligentsia" that make up the elite of the Republican party. They fell for Obama hard because he was one of them. He could recite Niebuhr to them like I can recite lines from Caddyshack. This to the "elites" matter more to them than his actual policies. In my neighborhood there was always the line, "book smarts don't equal street smarts." The answer to most tough questions you deal with in life won't be found in a book. This is heresy to the Christopher Buckleys, Kathleen Parkers, and David Brooks of the world. These "brilliant" book smart people have been captivated by how well a person reads.
David Brooks absolutely loved Barack Obamas "non" State of the Union address. A person who actually listened to what was said, not how it was said, would have probably raised a few questions. How about President Obama promising to not have any earmarks in the budget while the next day proposing a budget with 9,000 earmarks. How about a guy having the audacity to preach fiscal responsibility while cramming a "stimulus" bill down the countries throat at the tune of $1 trillion dollars. But David Brooks didn't raise those questions, because Obama did not read his speech to him like that. Brooks loved the tone of the speech, while failing to point out any of the hypocrisy. There is no question in my mind that I could take a piss in David Brooks ear and tell him it's raining.
There is one thing a street smart person can do that a book smart person can never do. And that is spot a fraud. Street smart people dont get caught up in the fast talk and double speak. They are wary of people who promise everything while never having delivered anything. These "intellectual" Republican Obama supporters are going to feel like the dumbest ones in the country just about a year from now. They could use a bit of humility, so be sure not to let them forget it.
