Media, in need of distractions, “Tigers” the Flight Attendant

The real news is unpleasant, constantly revising the GDP downward, the debt upward, the unemployment upward. Afghanistan is not going well, and the Vietnam story will be rewound, with US abandoning our allies to be killed by the Taliban.

Formerly, the media used to fill the summer news doldrums with lifestyle and religion/ethics stories. The religion/ethics subject has dropped off to avoid highlighting that Obama lefties have none outside of statism.

So we’re left with only the distraction of lifestyle news. That’s so dead, because nothing shocks anymore. The Sherrod story had to be suddenly killed because it revealed the fraud of Obama and company’s bill to allow payments to 86,000 black farmers (with the census revealing that less than 40,000 actually exist in the U.S.)

It’s Soooo bad that the media had to TIGER that JetBlue flight attendant, Steve Slater. This guy apparently was hit in the head, and was in no mood to deal with the passengers, who noticed a large gash on his forehead but still needed his immediate attention to their needs. He threw a tantrum, exited the plane in grand fashion, then was turned into a major celebrity by the media. According to the Tiger cycle, the media builds a celebrity by ignoring/hiding his faults, then tears him down later by revealing them. It generates material for those too lazy or unwilling to report on more significant matters.

In the bad news milieu of this summer of no recovery, the lamestreamers had to fast forward the Tiger process on Steve Slater.

Yes We Can’t!

Just a few examples of Obama Administration morphing into Yes we Can’t mode right after election:
Huge ice storm and freezing people in Kentucky? Sorry, Governor Beshear (who called Obama for help), too busy with the superbowl party.
Floods in Fargo, N Dakota and Nashville, TN regions — a near media blackout and little federal help, not the multi-year whine fest accorded to New Orleans.
The Oil Spill? BP stopped it despite the government hampering of repair, and the states took care of their own shores to the extent the feds would allow it.
Illegal Immigration? No, Obama and big Sis Napolitano say they can’t close the borders, it’s impossible.
Fomer Sen.Ted Steven’s plane goes down in Alaska? The feds could not get to the plane due to severe weather, but reported locals on the scene assisting the survivors. A commercial helicopter had dropped a medical team to the site, while the coast guard and national guard waited for the weather to clear.

Don’t you think the federal response to calamities would have been better with those Alaskans running the show?

There will be, in the next two elections, a test to see if pinching off federal disaster and law enforcement assistance to red states will make them more inclined to vote for democrats in the future.

Call a Waaaambulance

First watch Rosie ODonnell tell us that marriage is an institution for expressing defiance, spite, or anger.  Listen up right Here and think about whether gay marriage is a good idea or just more Jerry-Springer-style entertainment for the rest of us.

It’s combo newsflash time, as the hard drive wore itself out from overuse, and a transplant is required. Pharmer is limping through the weekend on some really slow equipment. Call a Waaaaaaaambulance!

One more update of significance… the Portland area (Multnomah County) governmental authorities have been embarrassed into allowing little 7 year old, Julie Murphy have her lemonade stand.

The Cojones-Caliper – for measuring, that is.

44 – Palin: Obama lacks ‘the cojones’ to tackle immigration.

Plain spoken Palin draws fans  from among the real Americans with her blunt manner of self expression.

Sarah  is not the first one to have questioned the male endowment of the president. James Carville had suggested that Hillary surpassed Obama in this area, and Evan Bayh had referenced the praise for Hillary’s greater ‘testicular fortitude’ given by a steel worker’s union official in Indiana during the Democratic primaries in 2008.   Rush and crew are credited for uncovering those tidbits in a timely manner.  Rush  suggested  blaming  the apparent presidential problem on Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had expressed a desire to perform unauthorized surgery into a live microphone at FOX.

The male hormone output  of the president is  not impressive, and  evidence suggests that the incidental testosterone issued from the adrenals and ovaries  of  the Lady Conservatives is  much  greater.

We suspect that data obtained from vernier caliper measurements  would bring further evidence of the president’s meager endowment, but certainly have no interest in the work of acquisition.

Is there anyone with sufficient curiosity to review and research the correlation of gonad size and testosterone production?  The federal government has funded stranger studies 😉

While pondering the academic possibilities using federal STIMULUS, watch Sarah telling it like it is.

Kevin Brady, Rep. 8th District TX presents a Partial Obamacare Chart

Obamacare_Chart.pdf application/pdf Object.

The above linked representation is partial, because the whole mess could not be expressed on a single chart, and this is said to represent about a third of it.

Some of what is featured in the Obamacare chart , (quoted from the presentation on Rep. Brady’s site) :

  • $569 billion in higher taxes;
  • $529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
  • swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
  • 17 major insurance mandates; and
  • the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.

SEC Says New Financial Regulations Allow It to Hide Its Failures

FOXBusiness.com – SEC Says New Financial Regulation Law Exempts it From Public Disclosure.

The public will not be able to obtain SEC records using the Freedom of Information Act.   The SEC remains accountable only to government.

Fox Business News Network learned this when the SEC claimed this week that Section 9291 of SEC Financial Regulatory Law H.R. 4173 allowed it to refuse FOIA requests for info..

So much for Obama’s promise of increased transparency in government.

Fox Business Network intends to challenge this interpretation of the law.

Liberty Chick covers the Worlds Biggest Tick

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » Soroswood: The Intersection of Politics and Hollywood Propaganda, Part 1.

It’s all about George Soros, and his influence on the Hollywood media, and is worth a look. ^

George Soros with a mouthfull
The World's Biggest Tick

Also please See Oliver Stone fawning on Ahmadinejad, and complaining about the Jews running the U.S. media.   He’s allowed to say this stuff because he’s a leftie, but Mel Gibson was run out of town for it.

The main issue?   Soros and his Arab pals have more money than the Jews,  so now it’s fashionable to hate the Jews and love the Muslims.

This habit of  self-prostitution now has the leftie  feminists aligned with the Muslims, and the associated cultural practices of FGM  have even been given a pass.
