The Left loses its, uh, mind

One of the establishment Left’s favorite house organs, The Atlantic Magazine, is calling for the arrest of Republican John Boehner, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

So poor wittle baby Obumbles won’t have to negotiate with the “Extreme Right” as the liberals always call their political opponents. Good luck with that.

Although with a corrupt president who has most of the news media (including the perpetually federally-funded NPR), the IRS and the FBI behind him, you never know. Talk about a constitutional crisis. It would make the wittle baby’s federal shut-down theater look like Romper Room. Come to think of it…

Meanwhile, El Paso’s ABC affiliate station’s reporters can’t find a single local resident who has successfully signed up for ObamaCare. At least they’re looking, eh?

Embarrass Obadboy, get audited

“…Carson says the Internal Revenue Service started looking into his real estate holdings following his comments against the White House at the National Prayer Breakfast in February.  Carson says he had never had a problem with the tax-collecting agency until he spoke out against the president. Eventually, the IRS conducted a full audit against Carson and found no wrongdoing, he said.”

Coincidence? Sure, you bet.

This is what happens when most of the news media, the “Justice” Department and even the FBI are in the White House bag.

And it’s not like Obadboy didn’t warn us what he would do, way back in 2009. Now we see why he likes Putin and the Iranian Mullahs so much. He’s a wannabee dictator.

Dial 1-800-F**KYO

That’s the help line number for ObamaCare (1.800.3182596) and its ten thousand page rulebook. Either the SOBs did it on purpose or it’s the biggest federal blunder of the last hundred years. You could spell other things with the numbers, of course, but you shouldn’t be able to spell that.

Like an adolescent bully in the schoolyard, Obutthead likes giving the finger to his opponents. He’s done it often enough in public (coyly scratching his head with his middle finger) that even his supporters no longer bother to deny it. But this? The man really is insane.

Police frenzy

Did it really require twenty police cars to chase down the driver of a black Nissan sedan which allegedly tried to ram a barrier at the White House, ran into a Secret Service agent and then sped away to the Capitol?

And did these trigger-happy police really have to shoot and kill the driver when she got out of the car and fled on foot? Turns out the 34-year-old dental technician and mother of a toddler wasn’t even armed. Not that the cops seemed to care. Anymore than they cared about who they might have run over in their frenzy to be part of the chase.

Never mind Islamic terrorism. Officer Friendly is the real menace these days.

UPDATE:  Her family, of course, also wonder why she had to die. She shouldn’t have, and if we had responsible law enforcement, she wouldn’t have.

Ten thousand five hundred and thirty five

That’s how many pages there are in the ObamaCare regulations published so far in the Federal Register. California Democrat Henry Waxman apparently has not read them.

He dismissed a question from CNSNews correspondent Penny Starr about whether he had read the regs by calling it “a propaganda question.”

That was a curious turn of phrase. “Propaganda” was one of the criticisms the IRS applied in denying Tea Party get-out-the-vote groups ordinary tax exemptions before the 2012 presidential elections, and in one case until this week. Democrat minds think alike, obviously.

Ten thousand five hundred and thirty five pages of regulations. Doctors who can’t afford to hire lawyers to read and interpret the regs aren’t going to be in business for long. Ready for your “free” medical care? Good luck with that.

UPDATE:  During the “shut down,” or “slim down,” we’re discovering why they need so many regs. They have all these “nonessential federal employees” who need something to do.

MORE:  Maybe some of them could be put to work on the ObamaCare website—so far, it sucks. And, big surprise, it’s getting worse. Is FEMA running it?

Rule 5: Pink Bikini

Nevermind the Godzilla gag, this fetching creature is reason enough to post the photo. Pity there’s no name attached, but we can still dream.

Lurching into the UN cesspool

Supposedly we don’t have to worry that Lurch, Obozo’s secretary of state, has signed the new UN Arms Treaty, which the NRA warns could lead to a real national gun registry on top of the defacto registry that’s already in place.

Not to mention effectively banning handguns and semi-automatics.

We don’t have to worry, we’re assured by various of the usual assurers, because the US Senate will never ratify the treaty and that’s a necessary step. Ah, but is it really? Well, not exactly:

“Once the U.S. signs a treaty, we hold ourselves bound not to violate the treaty’s ‘object and purpose.’ In other words, we obey in practice treaties that the Senate has never ratified.”

Fortunately, what one president’s lackey signs, another president’s lackey can later unsign. In the meantime, Obozo, who is already the country’s champion gun salesman—scaring American gun lovers into buying more guns before he can restrict them—will now become the premier recruiter for the National Rifle Association and the even fiestier Gun Owners of America.

Thanks, Barry!
