Anthony Weiner has spent a LOT of time whining (Weining?) about the fact that foreign Ambassadors break NY’s traffic laws and don’t pay tikets.
Yeah, you can really see where this is going, can’t you?
http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com/2011/03/confirmed-anthony-weiners-parking.html
And a member of Congress would really have to work to get tickets, considering how much latitude they get.
Can anyone photoshop a picture of Weiner inside the Oscar Myer weiner mobile? I think it would be hilarious.
It would absolutely go viral….I cannot believe that no one has done it yet, so obvious.
Maybe even put him in a hotdog bun or roasting on a grill.
The left is really ramping it up in Wisconsin. This includes trying to intimidate businesses:

The problem for the left, of course, is that people are copping on to this. If you’re going to be excoriated as a raaaaacist, stoooooopid, enemy of Teh Peepul no matter what you do, then why would you bother trying to work with them?
“Awesome Video: Austrian MP Ewald Stadler Blasts Turkish Ambassador on Islam and religious tolerance.”

A slightly oldie, but a goodie.
Show your support in DC today for Michele Bachmann and fellow tea party supporters as they rally against the elite establishment (DEMS and Boehner’s and McConnel’s Cocktail Party) and their paltry $30 Billion cuts.
Boehner and crew enjoy your last term in power!
http://www.teapartypatriots.org/crr.aspx
btw…Boehner please issue another “LETTER” asking Obama if he is arming al-qaeda, the muslim brotherhood, hezbollah, etc., in Libya. It appears he is arming those in Libya who previously killed our service members in Iraq and Afghanistan!
New meme: Obama is arming the “al-Contras”. It makes older peoples’ eyes twitch, although you do have to explain it to younger people.
Sleepy puppeh!

OMG, I needed that.
I can relate to that facebook cat. I go to the gym, lift weights and do cardio, take krav maga and twe kewan do but I am still 200 pounds.

“Shhh: Obama accepts award for transparency — in closed-door ceremony.”

If you haven’t already read this series, I encourage you to read up on the Muslim Brotherhood. There is a three-part series on Human Events.com that explains who we are fighting – in the Middle East and at home. And as Kevin points out repeatedly, the CAIR Bears are right in the middle of all of this.

Trump brings up Rezko while on Laura Ingraham radio last night….
Trump is asking WHY did the press give Barry a pass…Go Trump!
Laura Ingraham wonders if she should concentrate on the “birth cert.” issue…
http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/03/donald-trump-laura-ingraham-proud-to-be.html
Trump may be the anti-Axelrod for continuing to bring up the birth certificate issue. He isn’t the “typical” Tea Party activist that the MSM can blow off or marginalize, and his strategy may be to plant enough doubts in the minds (sarc) of Obama’s base that they start to demand to see O’s credentials. It’s an interesting strategy.
Trump on O’Reilly about the Barry’s eligibility…
O’Reilly’s own poll shows over 73% polled agree with trump…http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/03/donald-trump-stands-his-birther-ground.html
BOR is such a suckup to Zero.
I saw that last night. O’Reilly really does think he is the smartest human alive!
I thought he was rude to Trump and he had the nerve to make fun of Trump when he and Rove had their little discussion.
I almost choked on my rice chex when BOR said that he believes that Obama is an American Citizen because his grandparents put a birth announcement in the Honolulu paper. I used to work at my local paper and birth, wedding, anniversary announcements are PAID. I know because one of my job responsibilities was to take the information over the phone and in person. Absolutely no BC, or any kind of proof was needed. My mom, who became editor of that paper, eventually eliminated the birth, wedding, anniversary pieces because so much bogus information got printed (usually as a joke).
B O’Reilly is doing everything he can to try to make people believe him.He really does look and sound foolish.
I have news for him, he is not the only news in town and I do not believe a word he says about BO.He is always saying how brilliant BO is. All I see is how stupid and fatuous they both are!
I would like to know if the grandparents also had an announcement placed when Obama’s sister was born.
I really love that Trump is doing this. He’s not a politician, so once this is over he can back to his regular career. And he’s doing the eventual Republican candidate (Sarah!) a favor by taking all of the MSM fire on the issue.
Keep it up, Trump!

I keep asking myself why Trump is keeping this birth certificate controversy alive … not that it’s a bad thing. Perhaps I misread the man, but I just don’t get the impression that he has a burning desire to be president. Might he be somebody’s front man, keeping the BHO-related issues alive a serious candidate can’t or won’t address? Frankly, the thought of a “President Trump,” braying about his brilliance and his riches, would be as obnoxious to me as I assume it would be to the rest of the people on the planet.
Speaking of the Obama birth certificate, Channel 7 in Denver just announced that a man from Colorado Springs allegedly has proof that Obama’s birth certificate was forged. Anyone have any details on this?
He is a retired USAF Officer and is questioning because all of us retired types can legally be called back to active service. It has something to do with the CT SSN, his phony draft card and a few other things.
http://www.gazette.com/articles/springs-115381-colorado-obama.html
The Donald certainly is making media idiots, lefttards, libturds, and the cocktail repubics squirm as Trump goes public & outloud with what at least 100 million of us are ridiculed for saying or even thinking. Even more entertaining is that Trump leaves the useful fools of the dinosaur nets & dead tree industry gasping & agape as their intellectual nakedness & stupidity is revealed for all but the blind to see.
Trump is also showing up the Tea Party “constitutionalists” who say it’s a non-issue…
How can this be a non-issue to a constitutionalist?
I’m not so sure that Trump really wants to be president, but he may be doing this to take the heat off the other candidates.
Remember it was Trump who called the Ground Zero Mosque investor’s bluff by offering to purchase the property for the same price and assist them in finding an alternate site. They immediately brushed off his offer, thus exposing that they were in fact very wedded to the idea of a mosque at that particular location and it was not a matter of finding a cheap plot that they couldn’t find elsewhere, as they had said repeatedly.
Here’s a link to the Trump ground zero mosque buyout story.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/09/09/trump-offers-buy-investor-ground-zero-mosque-site/
Don’t underestimate Trump. He knows business and people. If you think about it, he brought his business back for a recession when he had to sell off much of his holdings and now has more wealth than before by working hard to do so. The general public knows all the problems — personal and professional — he has had but he is still in the game. There’s a lot that the government can learn from him. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, or the truth, which is unheard of in a politician. It is a lesson that elected officials should take to heart!
Yes! Trump is really giving them hell!I don’t care if he runs or not, I just hope he keeps it up!
I recall that Trump said on BOR last night that we definitely have a “muslim problem”. Good thing they did not get into that on The View the other day…Whoopie and Joy would have crapped their pants on live TV.
this is part of the 2012 Axelrod campaign to pre-empt all of these issues so Obama does not have to address during the campaign – this way the LSM can again say that all of the issues were fully investigated when brought up by “Republican” Donald Trump – and will also say this is keeping us from discussing issues Obama really cares about.
don’t get fooled by this (while we always hope for the unexpected or that it backfires)
Brendan O’Neill on why Libya is in fact a humanitarian intervention, and why that’s such a disastrous thing:
http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/10351/
ABC is running some propaganda for the DEMS. They are claiming that the GOP and Dems have “reached a deal” which THEY HAVE NOT so they can accuse the right of backing out and ruining everything.
Typical leftist MAFIA. UGLY Dems.
I just read on NRO that Boehner has not agreed to any deal. And that he fully intends to achieve the $61 billion in cuts the house approved earlier this year.

SECDEF Gates says no boots on ground in LIB while he on the job. Look for a new SECDEF in about a month. Maybe he is getting a pair and can lead the coup. It looks like that is the only thing that will save us.
Fox reported that the “secret” order signed by Obozo to send CIA into Libya will NOT be wearing boots…hysterical!
so much for the libyan revolution….http://hotair.com/archives/2011/03/31/libyan-rebels-number-less-than-1000/
“That There Are Only 1,000 Rebel Fighters in Libya… And That 1,000 Fighters Are Jihadists”

well that is incorrect.
There are way more than 1000 rebels involved.
The report is missing a lot of details about revolts in the various cities throughout Libya.
How many are involved? What is your source?
Revolts in which cities? What about them? Sources please.

BREAKING NEWS: Chief Climate/Global Warming Scientist Claire “Air Claire” McCaskill releases the results of her latest peer reviewed global warming research (aka settled science):
Obama’s recession/depression has reduced carbon emissions to acceptable levels (even with her private airline Air Claire running non-stop and emitting dangers levels of carbon emissions during the same period) WOW!

“Tim Flannery, noted zoologist and author of the book The Weather Makers.
Here it is, brace yourself:
If we cut emissions today, global temperatures are not likely to drop for about a thousand years.
Lest you think that is an errant remark out of context, here’s the follow up from Flannery:
Just let me finish and say this. If the world as a whole cut all emissions tomorrow the average temperature of the planet is not going to drop in several hundred years, perhaps as much as a thousand years because the system is overburdened with CO2 that has to be absorbed and that only happens slowly.”
Boy, that ought to really fire up the warmist base!

I thought it was good enough to post here because it is quite refreshing.
I have been taking a lower profile because I continue to believe that it was necessary to see the no-fly zone imposed in Libya.
There was a humanitarian crisis in the making in Libya. People were being slaughtered in such towns as Zawiyah, Tripoli, Brega and Misrata. More than 100 civilians have been gunned down in the streets of Misrata since the beginning of the no-fly zone action. Hundreds have been shot.
I just posted a response to someone else that has gone into moderation. I hope that people will read the link and start to see what Daffy goons have been doing.
People were being pulled off the street, tortured in some cases, and killed in others. This was in Benghazi.
When the no-fly was imposed Daffy had threatened to show no mercy to the people of Benghazi.
There is a lot of history that needs to be absorbed to start getting at the truth of the situation. It does not make for pretty reading.
Daffy Duck is a Marxist. He changed th name of Libya to reflect his Marxist leanings. He stole property from people, and he stole their goods purchased for resale. He has a long record of capturing and torturing Libyans. Pretty much par for the course in these M.E. countries.
Daffy Duck also ordered the bombing of the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie in Scotland.
Keep an eye on news about those who have defected, or are defecting from the Daffy Duck regime.
