Things that make you say, "WTF, Over?!?"

Your Tax Dollars At Work For Al Gore Department

A start-up automotive company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has been loaned more than half a billion dollars by the federal government.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Fisker Automotive Inc. has received $529 million in taxpayer money. The loan was intended to help Fikser produce a hybrid sports car to be sold in Finland.

Lemme see if I got this straight. The gummint just effectively took over two major US automobile manufacturers and threw millions of bucks at Cash for Clunkers in order to bail out US automobile manufacturers and make US automobile manufacturers competitive -- and part of tripling the national debt while doing that was tossing half a billion bucks to a *Finnish* automobile manufacturer which will be manufacturing cars in *Finland* for the Finnish* auto market.

Oh, waitaminnit -- the bottom is falling out of the European carbon credits market scam and AlGore needs an alternative source of income.

Can we each declare this loser as a dependent come next April 15th?

We're Not Gonna Provide Health Care For Illegals -- Ummmmm -- Wait One

The Democrats, trying to stiffen their party's spines on the contentious issue, say it's unfair to bar illegal immigrants from paying their own way in a government-sponsored exchange.
 

It's comforting to know that the Dhims finally want the MS-13 gang-bangers to pay for their own trips to the ER.

Yeah, that's showing some pretty stiff-spined action -- for an invertebrate...

The Sternly-Wagging Finger Of Clinton Department

Bill Clinton said a vast, right-wing conspiracy that once targeted him is now focusing on President Obama.

In other words, "I got caught in some blatant lies and now Dear Reader's been caught in some blatant lies. %$#@! bloggers!"

It would have been more appropriate if Hillary had said it -- but I don't think she coulda done it with a straight face.

We Need Health Care -- Uhhhhhhh -- Health Insurance Reform -- Errrrrr -- Whatever It Is -- *Now* Department

"We have been waiting for health reform since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. We've been waiting since the days of Harry Truman," he said in remarks at the caucus foundation's annual dinner. "We've been waiting since Johnson and Nixon and Clinton."

"We cannot wait any longer," Obama said.

Nope. That's why -- if HR 3200 passes -- it's not scheduled to kick in until 2013. Because, like, you know, we can't wait any longer, so we have to have it *now*.

As long as you define "now" the way Obie does: "Four years from now -- after I've been re-elected"...
