A UN official said in an interview that Western nations “don’t need more cars, more TVs.”
Yeah… what we REALLY don’t need? Busybody UN officials telling us how to live our lives.

Will This Innocent Activity Get You Accused of Being a Pot Smoker?
New research shows that some soaps and shampoos can trigger a positive result when testing for marijuana use.
I’m betting that’s not gonna create any problems for most Occupy protesters.
Link of the Day: Not Sure if This is Hilarious or Tasteless
[High Praise! to RAML]
Full disclosure: I don’t have kids.
On the other hand, knowing people who DO have kids, I know that at some point, every parent has that “I love my kids, but I wish with all my might that they would just stop acting like Satan’s spawn for JUST FIVE FREAKIN’ MINUTES!”
This video is ONLY for people who know EXACTLY what it’s like to feel that way.
If your children are little angels who never frustrate you, skip this:

This Is Why Obama Doesn’t Stand a Chance Against Romney
At a charity event, New York’s Mayor Bloomberg was overheard saying that Mitt Romney would be better at running the country than President Obama.
I’m assuming this means that Romney finally came out in favor of a national cup-size limit.
The Difference Between Bush’s Wide Receiver and Obama’s Fast and Furious: The Short Version
[via Doug Ross]
______________
“Wide Receiver [the Bush-era operation] was a gun smuggling interdiction effort that involved Phoenix-based ATF agents working in conjunction with Mexican law enforcement. It was a Phoenix border operation only. They were trying to build a case against a violent group of Mexican drug smugglers and the Mexican drug cartel to discover who they were and where they could be found. Wide Receiver began in 2005, involved 400 weapons, and all the weapons had RFID trackers installed in them. The Mexican government was informed and actively involved. The program was ended in 2007 when the drug dealers discovered the trackers that had been installed. No lives were lost.
Fast and Furious was begun in 2009 by the Obama administration and was an unconstitutional effort to build a case against American gun dealers, American private gun owners, and the Second Amendment. The Mexican government wasn’t involved in Fast and Furious. Over 300 people were killed, including two Americans. Wide Receiver no longer existed; it had been shut down for two years. Fast and Furious involved over 2,000 guns. The Obama regime didn’t care where the weapons ended up. There were no tracking devices and no effort was made to track them. No helicopters. There was no on-the-ground surveillance of the straw purchasers. The guns were sold and then walked across the border, and that was it. Four federal agencies were involved in maybe as many as 10 cities in five states. Fast and Furious was Obama’s effort to gain false information so he could use the information to introduce his gun control bill.”

Although I’m very happy that SOMEONE figured out how to make the “Gun Running for Dummies” statement that the average civilian needs to get a layman’s understanding of what’s going on, it pisses me off to no end that not a single “journalist” thought to do this over the many, many month’s that Holder’s scandal was brewing.
Two paragraphs. Two lousy stinking paragraphs. Is that REALLY too high to set the bar for minimal journalistic integrity?
Media tools, please either do your jobs or get different ones.
Is This Proof That Obama Is NOT a Hypocrite?
In May, the Obama campaign spent $44 million while only taking in $39 million.
So… is anyone on his staff going to tell him this doesn’t work with non-government spending, either?
10 Things That Can’t Be in the Same Room As Obama
[via American Digest, emphasis mine]
You would think that President Obama would be received as something of a hero by NALEO, the National Association of Latino Elected Officials, before whom Obama is giving a speech this afternoon in Orlando. But the Secret Service wasn’t taking any chances. As hundreds of Latino elected officials were enjoying their lunch at Disney’s Contemporary Resort earlier today, it was announced that forks would be collected before Obama took the stage. It was also mentioned that knives, too, were entirely absent from the lunch for “a reason.”
Superman has his kryptonite, apparently Obama has flatware.
What else needs to be cleared out of a room before Obama shows up?
I speculate thusly:
______________
 |
1) Slow, chubby dogs
2) Stray hooker-panties the Secret Service may have dropped.
3) Tamales (only if Michele’s in the room).
4) Very large soda cups (just as dangerous as buckets, stuck-head-wise)
5) Ayn Rand novels
6) Choom (it’s like Barack’s tamale, and we don’t want donors getting trampled)
7) Shin-high coffee tables
8) Lie detectors (unless they’re turned off or set to vibrate, otherwise it’s like having Joe Wilson in the room)
9) All the brown M&Ms
10) Big red buttons that say “DANGER! DO NOT PRESS!”
