Among the many reasons responsible people do not indulge in cocaine, as our Historic First Adolescent President has boasted of doing, is that it can cause you to develop rhinorrhea and a neurotic obsession with your nose:

Even moonbat apparatchiks in the liberal media establishment can show compassion when it comes to abortion. However, it isn’t the children dismembered in their mothers’ wombs folks like Barbara Walters feel sorry for. This is what she has to say about a Texas law requiring mothers to look at ultrasounds of their inconvenient children before killing them:

“…to have to go and be forced to hear, to see the fetus, to hear the heartbeat, to put more guilt on you, I think is heartbreaking.”

Here I was thinking that aborting a child was just like having a cyst removed. What’s to feel guilty about if it isn’t murder?

You know you are living under a tyranny when remarks regarded as disparaging to the ruling class result in grotesquely disproportionate punishment meant to intimidate other potential thought criminals. For example, during the Super Bowl CNN commentator Roland Martin tweeted this:

If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl

…and this:

Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass

The response from our rulers:

Several gay and lesbian rights groups were outraged. GLAAD said CNN ought to fire Martin: “Advocates of gay bashing have no place at CNN.”

CNN obediently suspended Martin indefinitely.

Wonders Jim Treacher,

Do you really think Roland Martin was seriously advocating violence against men who wear pink and/or enjoy looking at David Beckham in his underpants? Or was he just tweeting stupid stuff in the middle of a Super Bowl party? Do you think maybe you could just relax a minute?

Absolutely not. Relaxing is not on the Gay Mafia’s agenda when any failure to bow in reverence has been perceived.

Hollyweird excretes an unending flow of degenerate filth not because there is a market for it, but because the entertainment establishment consists of moonbats. According to a new report from Movieguide, if they were more interested in the bottom line than in liberal politics, they would give the public what it wants — countermoonbattery:

The Movieguide report rates movies using more than two dozen criteria, such as whether a title promotes capitalism or socialism or if it promotes or denigrates biblical principles. Violence, sex, political correctness, revisionist history, environmentalism, feminism, homosexuality and more hot-button political issues all are taken into consideration.

This year’s report concludes that seven of the top 10 films of 2011 scored high on Movieguide’s index and therefore qualify as films with “strong or very strong Christian, biblical, moral and redemptive content.”

Movieguide identified 91 movies in 2011 that scored high in “conservative/moral categories”; these earned an average of $59 million apiece. On the other hand, it identified 105 movies that scored high in “liberal/leftist categories”; each of those titles earned an average of just $11 million.

The average movie scoring four stars from Movieguide earned $53.5 million while the ones that scored just one star earned $10.6 million.

Concludes Movieguide editor Ted Baehr:

“Most moviegoers want good to conquer evil, truth to triumph over falsehood, justice to prevail over injustice and true beauty to overcome ugliness.”

If they can’t get what they want from Tinseltown, they’ll start looking elsewhere.

You almost have to feel sorry for Jay Carney. It can’t be easy to defend the leadership in the White House when there isn’t any:

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday that President Obama has no opinion on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s assessment that not having a budget creates uncertainty and could damage the economy.

There’s just too much going on at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for Barry and the gang to have given any thought to such matters.

Meanwhile, outside the window:

Yow, scary! Best to close the curtains and get back to the fun:

Don’t worry, the media will clean up the mess.

When the Founders required the President to be at least 35 years old, they should have specified mental rather than chronological age.

Who would have thought Rahm Emanuel’s autograph would be such a pleasant sight to behold:

Background:

Earlier this month, the city of Chicago wrote a check for $399,950 to the Second Amendment Foundation, a gun rights group located in Bellevue, Wash. The check was a reimbursement for legal fees the foundation incurred in the McDonald v. Chicago case, which resulted in the United States Supreme Court overturning the city’s ban on handguns.

Too bad the $400 grand doesn’t come out of the hide of Chicago bureaucrats, rather than taxpayers. But then, people who elect left-wing goons have to be willing to pay the price.

The moonbat micromanagers ruling La-La Land must finally be running out of things to ban. Now they’re suppressing fun on the beach:

The Board of Supervisors this week agreed to raise fines to up to $1,000 for anyone who throws a football or a Frisbee on any beach in Los Angeles County.

In passing the 37-page [!!!] ordinance on Tuesday, officials sought to outline responsibilities for law enforcement and other public agencies while also providing clarification on beach-goer activities that could potentially disrupt or even injure the public.

The updated rules now prohibit “any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll” any object other than a beach ball or volleyball “upon or over any beach” between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Exceptions may be granted for those who obtain a permit; no word on how much that would cost, or how far in advance you have to apply.

The scopious ordinance also forbids kids with little plastic shovels from digging any hole deeper than 18 inches in the sand. Think of the jobs that will be created as nearly bankrupt LA County hires regulators equipped with yardsticks to monitor the excavation of sand castle moats.

LA bureaucrats must be trying to top their counterparts up in Seattle, where beach bonfires are forbidden lest they discomfort the polar bears by heating up the planet.

Government-run education is an awful idea. Government-run healthcare is a worse one. Put them together and you get this:

Girls as young as 13 have been fitted with contraceptive implants at school without their parents knowing.

The procedure was carried out in Southampton, Hants, as part of a government initiative to drive down teenage pregnancies.

As many as nine secondary schools in the city are thought to have been involved.

Neither parents nor family doctors were consulted prior to the surgical implantation of the 4-cm devices under the skin.

The effect on underage promiscuity shouldn’t be difficult even for cognitively challenged educrats to predict.

You can call Barack Hussein Obama many things, but not a failure. He stated before his catastrophic election that his goal was to “spread the wealth around” — that is, impose socialism. His scorecard after three years:

The American public’s dependence on the federal government shot up 23% in just two years under President Obama, with 67 million now relying on some federal program, according to a newly released study by the Heritage Foundation.

The conservative think tank’s annual Index of Dependence on Government tracks money spent on housing, health, welfare, education subsidies and other federal programs that were “traditionally provided to needy people by local organizations and families.”

This is why the Regime is deliberately driving Catholics and anyone else with a conscience out of social services. The obvious objective is to foster reliance on government.

The report also found that spending on “dependence programs” accounts for more than 70% of the federal budget. That, too, is up dramatically. In 1990, for example, the figure stood at 48.5%, and in 1962 just over a quarter of federal spending went to dependence programs.

At the same time, fewer Americans pay income taxes, the report notes. Almost half (49.5%) didn’t pay income taxes in 2009, the latest year for which the researchers have data. Back in the late 1960s, only 12% of Americans escaped the income tax burden.

In the near term, this is leading to a three-tiered society in which a slave class creates the wealth, a parasite class spends it, and the government class coercively transfers the money between them. This will only last as long as producers are able to produce, which Obama et al. are making as difficult as possible. The intended end result is the socialist two-class system, consisting of the opulent rulers and the impoverished ruled.

Other shocking findings include:

The number of people dependent on the federal government shot up 7.5% over the past two years.

In 2010, for the first time ever, average spending on dependence programs per recipient exceeded the country’s per-capita disposable income.

Of course this isn’t sustainable. It was never meant to be.
