Pat Sajak pokes fun at NYC nanny Michael Bloomberg

Pat Sajak pokes fun at NYC nanny Michael Bloomberg
 David Harsanyi  5/1/2013 Full Short Post



Wheel of Fortune is playing in front of crowds at Madison Square Garden in New York City this week. Host Pat Sajak took the opportunity to poke a little fun at America’s leading  paternalist, Michael Bloomberg. Sipping from Big Gulp-sized soda — with many in the audience laughing on — Sajak informed the crowd that he had just discovered “cola is better with trans-fats in it.”
Why did he do it?
“Not much to say. It was Monday night on Wheel, our first night of four weeks at Madison Square Garden in New York. Not sure why everyone laughed; I was just thirsty,” Sajak told Human Events.

A News Media of Trekkies
John Daly May 1, 2013


The first celebrity I ever met was actor William Shatner.
It was back in the 1980s. I was probably twelve or thirteen at the time. Shatner was making an appearance at a car show in Denver that I went to with my family. I stood in a long line for nearly two hours to get a chance to talk to the pop culture icon who boldly went where no man had gone before aboard the starship Enterprise, and fearlessly clung to countless hoods of moving cars on TJ Hooker.
I spent most of my time in line trying to figure out what I was going to say to him. I didn’t want to blow the opportunity, after all. At that impressionable age, there are few people more important in the world than celebrities. And Shatner wasn’t just any celebrity. He was a bonafide action hero! So, I felt it was imperative for him to like me. At the very least, I was determined not say anything weird that would make himnot like me.
I decided that I would first ask him for his autograph (a no-brainer), and while he was giving it to me, I would then ask him something about one of the Star Trek films. I don’t recall exactly what my planned question was, but it was something easy – something I probably already knew the answer to. Again, I just wanted the meeting to be a positive experience.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t. ...
... What struck me more than anything else, however, was that none of the people who walked up to meet him seemed to notice this. They were absolutely ecstatic just to be in the man’s presence, and were gushing over him and singing his praises. These people, for the most part, were Trekkies – the super-fans who didn’t just like Star Trek, but lived Star Trek. To them, Shatner didn’t merely portray Captain Kirk. He was Captain Kirk. And I think that’s why it was easy for Shatner not to respect them.
This relationship was later parodied hilariously by Shatner himself in one of Saturday Night Live’s all-time greatest skits, but I also see it on display quite often in the current day. It’s the same relationship that the news media has with President Obama.
When it comes to this president, the news media are Trekkies. ...

After his terrible performance at his Press Conference, we should all ask: Who Is This Obama? Is he the architect of destruction? It's possible!

Look at the views of his mentor's toward America, including the despicable "Dreams" from his absentee communist, America hating father and his "I never heard him" preacher of 20 years, the Rev. God-Damn-America Wright. m/r
"Obama comes from a community organizer background where it’s us against them. But that's not who we are. And that’s not the position the leader of our Nation should take.”  –Dr. Benjamin Carson
Who Is This Obama? Is he the architect of destruction? It's possible!
By Maureen Scott  - May 2, 2013

Obama appears to be a tormented man who is filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps because, as a child, he grew up around family members and mentors who instilled him with an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. That bitterness seems not to have left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem – for anyone in America. Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets “goose bumps” when a band plays “The Star Spangled Banner,” or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of “America the Beautiful?” Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday – or is he moved to sadness and reflection when someone plays “taps” on a trumpet? Has he ever felt the depth of our admiration of the military, as lovers of those who keep America free feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful – because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a grandfather or uncle who showed his medals and told of the bravery of his fellow troops as they fought and tramped through foreign lands sacrificing for a cause greater than their own lives. He didn’t have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.

The President of Hollywood | FrontPage Magazine

Ben Shapiro On April 30, 2013 There was a time when the artistic community felt an obligation to speak truth to power. It was called the Bush years. Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central hosted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner back in 2006, and proceeded to blast President George W. Bush repeatedly, suggesting that “reality has a well-known liberal bias,” that Bush was responsible for “the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world,” and that the administration was “rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!” For such quips, the media quickly labeled him a hero; his media admirers actually blasted other media members for not giving him enough plaudits. Washington Post columnist Dan Froomkin slammed what he called the “Colbert Blackout,” referring to the media’s non-coverage of Colbert’s remarks. Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism professor Todd Gitlin called the performance “absolutely devastating.” New York magazine called it “brilliant.”New York Times columnist Frank Rich called it a “defining moment” in the 2006 midterm elections.
Now, however, Barack Obama is president. And that means that no one will have the gall to either pan his performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner or make jokes about his performance as president. The left got Stephen Colbert during the Bush years. The right got Conan O’Brien planting a sloppy kiss on Obama’s posterior last weekend.
Never mind that Obama left himself wide open for some kill shots. The overweeningly arrogant president opened by hopping onstage to DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win,” then celebrated himself from the first word: “How do you like my new entrance music? Rush Limbaugh warned you about this – second term, baby.” He added, “Actually, my advisors were a little worried about the new rap entrance music. They are a little more traditional. They suggested that I should start with some jokes at my own expense, just take myself down a peg.  I was like, guys, after four and a half years, how many pegs are there left?” Then he attacked the media: “The fact is I really do respect the press.  I recognize that the press and I have different jobs to do. My job is to be President; your job is to keep me humble.  Frankly, I think I’m doing my job better.”
So naturally, when Conan got his shot, he promptly pulled his punches.

We'll Help You Pack! Is Obama's second term sunk? 'Maybe I should just pack up and go home.'

Is Obama's second term sunk? 'Maybe I should just pack up and go home.' - CSMonitor.com

On the 100th day of his second term, President Obama laughed at the suggestion he may have run out of 'juice' for his agenda and expressed optimism on immigration reform.

By , Staff writer / April 30, 2013
It is Day 100 in President Obama’s second term, not the milestone moment it was in the first term, but still an opportunity for stock-taking.
In a hastily called press conference Tuesday morning, Mr. Obama laughed at a reporter’s suggestion that he may not have the “juice” to get the rest of his agenda through a divided Congress, after the defeat of a gun-control measure that had strong public backing and the president’s vocal support.
“Maybe I should just pack up and go home,” the president joked, speaking in the White House briefing room. “As Mark Twain said, you know, rumors of my demise may be a little exaggerated at this point.”

Poor Boy, He Was Just Punchy - Did brain injury from boxing cause Boston bombing suspect's violence?

And he was from the Caucasus, just suffering from bedwetting, child abuse, limited welfare, and his luxury car was too small. It's just as Obama says, Islam had nothing to do with it, it was just a pair of deranged individual terrorists, one punchy and the other was just along for the ride in a Mercedes...

Did brain injury from boxing cause Boston bombing suspect's violence?
msn 4-25-13

Researchers called on investigators to perform an autopsy on Tamerlan Tsarnaev's brain to determine if he suffered chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
The search for motives in the Boston Marathon bombings may take investigators into the brain of one of the suspects – literally.
Saturday, two brain disease researchers appealed to investigators to conduct a special autopsy on Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the bombing suspect killed during a shootout with police. The Boston Globe reported that some are questioning whether Tsarnaev, an amateur boxer, could have suffered brain damage that contributed to his alleged violent actions.
The researchers also expressed doubts, however.

BS - AP Scrubs ‘Muslim’ from Obama’s Self-Referential JokeBDS

An honest phrase from Obama, and AP sanitizes it! m/r

AP Scrubs ‘Muslim’ from Obama’s Self-Referential Joke | FrontPage Magazine

By Robert Spencer On April 30, 2013 
Warner Todd Huston reported at Breitbart Monday that “in some of its reports on Saturday night’s White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD), the Associated Press failed to include one of President Obama’s own gags.” 
Obama said: “These days I look in the mirror and have to admit, I’m not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be.” But, noted Huston, “in one version of the night’s story (as seen at Huffington Post, Time Magazine, Breitbart Wires, the Ottawa Citizen, and The Columbian to name a few), the AP’s Bradley Klapper forgot one part of the President’s joke,” reporting his words as “I’m not the strapping young Socialist that I used to be,”
Why? Did they think it had too much of a ring of truth?
Why did some editors at AP or at the publications that picked up the AP story think it necessary to run interference for Obama on this point?
By mocking the idea that he is a Muslim (and a Socialist), Obama is trying to render these things too ridiculous for serious public discussion. Fine. His personal beliefs are of no moment, except insofar as they influence his public stances. And the direction of his public policies is obvious. He has maintained a consistent foreign policy line that has enabled the establishment of several Islamic supremacist, pro-Sharia states in North Africa and the Middle East, and a domestic policy that has enabled the advance of the Islamic supremacist agenda to assert the primacy of Islamic law over American law and practice wherever they conflict. No amount of mockery will obscure that.
The record is clear.
