I’m fed up with the pinheads that claim that there is no media bias.

This is what constitutes a story from the Associated Press? What kind of crap is this?

Obamas take a walk, holding hands in the evening

WASHINGTON (AP) - The first couple took full advantage of the cool spring night.

After a date night out on Saturday evening, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama decided to take a stroll when their motorcade arrived back at the White House.

So they began walking on the driveway of the White House South Lawn while holding hands. First they passed the West Wing, then their children’s swing set. They kept walking, swinging their hands together.

There were no Secret Service agents right behind them - the agents stood off, in one of the rare moments that the Obamas had private space outside the White House walls.

As the Obamas walked behind shrubbery and out of sight, the unscripted moment left reporters guessing where they were going. To the vegetable garden? The basketball court? No final word, but they eventually came back the same way from where they started, rounding out their 8-minute walk.

The walk wrapped up one of their first date nights in the District since they’ve lived at the White House. Before arriving home and taking the stroll, the president and first lady dined out for nearly two hours at a posh Georgetown restaurant.

The stroll was a quiet contrast to their dinner outing. The Obamas’ visit to Georgetown attracted thick crowds of onlookers who were held back by police tape, while sirens occasionally wailed and a protester chanted outside the restaurant.

Give. Me. A. Break.

And the media/government/clueless ones wonder why we, the people, are having tea parties.

Well, here’s a good example of why.

Hawaii To Test Taxing By The Mile

Hawaii lawmakers are hoping to pass legislation that would determine the viability of taxing drivers by the mile. Legislators say as more people purchase hybrid vehicles and driving habits change, fuel tax collections will likely suffer.

“We have to make sure that the highway fund is properly funded because if it isn’t, then we simply stop putting in the infrastructure,” said Sen. Kalani English, chair of the Transportation Committee and the lead sponsor of the bill.

The pilot program, known as Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), would be administered by the State Transportation Department as part of the Hawaii’s Highway Modernization Plan. Transportation Director Brennon Morioka told Khon2 a variety of methods would be looked at to determine the best way of tracking driving habits.

“Monitoring your odometers by going into service stations…or using GPS or whatever other form of tracking device,” said Morioka.

I think I should invest in more tea.

Yeah, that’s right. I’m one of those crazy right wing conservative people that is going to a Tax Day Tea Party here in Honolulu.

In. Honolulu.

How bad has it gotten, when even a liberal state such as Hawaii, thinks the spending and the taxes have gone too far?

I’ll be at the State Capitol Building [yes, they have a permit for this "festival"].

Hopefully, I’ll have somewhere to park.

I’ll probably have to pay a parking tax.

Joe Biden. The gift that keeps on giving.

Oh, That Joe! (No. 48 in a Series) — Gimme a Break
March 13, 2009 5:40 PM

At an event at Union Station today where Vice President Joe Biden was heralding the $1.3 billion in investments in rebuilding train stations and passenger rails, a microphone picked up one of the former senator’s myriad Senate colleagues addressing him, formally, as “Mr. Vice President.”

That met with Vice President Biden’s standard reply.

“Gimme a f*&$#ing break,” he said, apparently unaware that the microphone was on.

Hey, it just gets better doesn’t it?

Bill Seeks to Let FDIC Borrow up to $500 Billion

WASHINGTON — Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd is moving to allow the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to temporarily borrow as much as $500 billion from the Treasury Department.

The Connecticut Democrat’s effort — which comes in response to urging from FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner — would give the FDIC access to more money to rebuild its fund that insures consumers’ deposits, which have been hard hit by a string of bank failures.

Oh Obama, why do you hate us so?
You promised us recovery,
but the market doesn’t grow.

As Glenn Beck says.. “Comrades! Good News from the Western Front!” Capitalist pigs will soon be a thing of the past. Socialism has arrived!

Democrats - You Own This Socialism Package. It’s all yours.

When it came to the crap sandwich known as the Stimulus Bill… The House passed it, without a single GOP vote of support.

The Senate has now passed it as well, with the expected three GOP turncoats voting for it… but not a single other Republican.

It’s not as if Republicans have been owners of the “conservative” movement… but it’s refreshing to see that most of them have realized the beast from hades that this so-called stimulus package is.

Unfortunately, it’s a single signature away from being a done deal. You think maybe Lord Hussein Obama will veto it? Nah. Me neither.

Since nobody has read every single page of this bill (see video), I have to wonder… what in the devil will be signed into law?

Well… what in the devil indeed. Making a deal with the devil? Can’t be good.

Feeling the love? You should.

Happy Valentine’s Day, comrades. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America.

Remember all that fighting we did during World War II against that other nationalized socialist-run country? Well… wouldn’t the American people that died fighting against that be so proud of their country now?

First they came for the capitalists…

What do you do when you have the admiration of the world?

You blow it: Phelps acknowledges marijuana use.

Just another story of someone who should have been thankful, throwing it away. I wonder if he’ll be allowed to compete again? Probably. I mean, the rules only apply to the little people anyway.

Barry O went through Baltimore the other day on his whistle-stop tour… and the following photos were captured.

Before shrugging it off.. ask yourself this: Do you think there would have been any stink raised if McCain’s face was on Ol’ Glory?

Welcome to the United States of Obama.

Wait a minute… what happened to all the world peace that was going to take place when the Democratic Messiah takes the throne?

Chavez doesn’t seem to believe in The One:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday Barack Obama had the “stench” of his predecessor as U.S. president and was at risk of being killed if he tries to change the American “empire.”

There is a really excellent article from Gregory Young over at American Thinker on the hoax that is Global Warming.

A sample:

If one were to script a Global Warming scam one would have to be a knot-head or brain-dead to pick Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as the lead factor.

Of course we know now that CO2 was rolled out as the “poster child” nemesis against the environment. It was meant to get us hysterical enough to plead with our politicians to exact a tax on our carbon footprints so that we can save the planet earth. But it’s turning out that the CO2 “poster child” has significant problems. Despite the fact that Carbon is a part of the CO2 molecule, the atmospheric science of CO2 directly contradicts what the AGW alarmists are trying to sell us. Promoting CO2 as the environmental monkey on our back is absolutely ludicrous. CO2 is friend to all life, not a foe.
