Obama’s Cairo Speech Wasn’t Broadcast In Iran

June 24, 2009 | Steven | 1 Comment | World

A little inconvenient fact to throw in the faces of the Obama cultists who would give credit for the uprising in Iran to Barack Obama’s “Address to the Muslim World” in Cairo: Obama’s Cairo address wasn’t broadcast in Iran.

Obama’s remarks were televised on all radio and television stations in Israel, and with Arabic voice-over translations by Arab satellite stations Al-Arabiya and Al-Jazeera, Egyptian TV and Al-Manar, an outlet for the militant group Hezbollah. The speech was not broadcast in Iran, where the goverment jammed signals to block satellite owners from watching.

Congress is trying to sneak through the massive “Cap and Trade” (more accurately “Cap and Tax”) energy proposal that will cause energy prices to skyrocket, resulting in an additional financial burden on each American family of about $3,900 per year.

Obama Gets Testy, But Doesn’t Get Testes

June 23, 2009 | Steven | 1 Comment | Politics

An irritable Barack Obama took questions from the adoring White House press corps for nearly an hour this afternoon, angrily beating back even the most gentle criticisms of the way he’s handled the turmoil in Iran and his plans to socialize the American health care system.

It appears that, when faced with anything less than complete and universal adoration, President Pantywaist feels the need to lash out.

Have you ever been in the dentist’s office or an elevator, subjected to Debbie Boone’s mellow 70s ballad “You Light Up My Life,” and thought, “boy, they should really arrest the guy who wrote this song?” Well, your wish has come true.

It’s just that Joseph Brooks wasn’t arrested for the assault on your ears. He’s been accused of committing 5 sexual assaults since 2006. Brooks, now 70 71, is expected to surrender to police today.

Jon And Kate Divorce Papers Not Filed In Bucks County

June 23, 2009 | Steven | 2 Comments | Entertainment

I’m guessing that Bucks County authorities have quite a day ahead of them. Although it’s been widely reported in the media that reality whores Jon and Kate Gosselin of ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ filed divorce papers in Bucks County court, the Courier-Times reports it’s not true.

Maybe They’re Not Biased, Just Really Stupid

June 23, 2009 | Steven | Pennsylvania

When dealing with the media, it’s sometimes hard to determine what is bias and what is lamentable stupidity. Take this gem from Robert Swift. He bills himself as the Harrisburg Bureau Chief of Scranton’s Times-Tribune. I just hope he doesn’t do their books.

Governor Sanford Was Off The Radar, Now On The Radar

June 22, 2009 | Steven | National

I don’t know what to make of the story of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, who is reported to have been unreachable over the weekend. It mostly leaves me wondering how we can get Governor Rendell to go away and stop trying to raise taxes in Pennsylvania for a few days.

ACORN Changes Name, Is Still Thuggish

June 22, 2009 | Steven | National

Barack Obama’s bank intimidation and voter fraud outfit ACORN has changed its name to Community Organizations International to distance itself from voter fraud investigations in 14 states, but is going forward with lawsuits against whistle blowers who organized their own community to highlight what they say is the group’s “financial mismanagement and misrepresentation.”
