Michael Phelps Caught Taking Bong Hits At Party
Michael Phelps, the greatest swimmer on the planet, now has “taint” on him according to British tabloid News Of The World. Phelps visited his girlfriend at the University of South Carolina last November where he attended several parties. At one party, Phelps was photographed smoking marijuana from a glass bong.
The pictures could mean immediate disqualification from the next Olympic games based on the current drug rules. Phelps’s PR people offered News Of The World a variety of incentives not to publish the photographs, but the tabloid declined.
This is a hugely overblown story. Who cares if Phelps was hitting a bong at a party? Who hasn’t? With the kind of regimented and disciplined life he’s had to lead up until now to become such an amazing athlete — he deserves to have a little fun. Let the man enjoy his youth a little bit.
Because Phelps smoked a little grass at a party, doesn’t change the fact that he’s still the greatest swimmer the world has ever known.
It’s not as if he was caught injecting steroids into his ass in a seedy motel room. He was incredibly foolish to put his endorsement deals at risk by taking bong hits in public view, but I’m sure all his new found fame is a little overwhelming.
Give the guy a break.

Obama Signs Union-Pandering Executive Orders
Labor unions got the first big gift of the Obama administration today when president Obama signed a series of union-pandering executive orders aimed at keeping workers in the dark about their rights. President Bush signed an order that allowed unionized companies to post signs informing workers they were allowed to leave unions if they so chose. Barack Obama doesn’t think workers need to know anything about that and with the stroke of his pen — the signs came down.
Unions are truly loathsome organizations. They’re wholly owned subsidiaries of the left-wing of the democratic party. The goal of unions today is to amass as much power, money, and influence as possible by getting as many far-left politicians elected as possible.
Ron Gettlefinger who runs the UAW admitted the other day that Toyota actually pays their workers more than the unionized big three do. Since the UAW’s very existence is predicated on the need to get fair wages for workers, and Toyota is not unionized (and making a profit) then why do workers need the UAW? Guess what? They don’t.
The only people who need unions are unions. Union bosses wanna keep the coffers full so they can relax at their fancy resorts and play golf on their designer courses while bleeding companies dry. Unions are like parasites that suck the profitability out of businesses. The more people they can force into union enslavement the more money they can make off the dues.
The idea that a “strong middle class” means strong labor unions is total hogwash. That’s a narrative the far left has stuck to for years and is considered settled fact in the democratic party (just like global warming) but it’s all bullshit. President Bush had the opportunity of a lifetime to bust the UAW once and for all by letting the big three go bankrupt and he blew it.
The absolute holy grail for unions is the card check legislation currently winding it’s way through Congress. Unions are licking their collective lips waiting for Obama to put his Johnny Hancock on it. Then all it will take is a little intimidation to get the majority of workers at a company to sign a card saying they want a union and poof — they’re unionized! No more secret ballot. If you as a worker dare not sign the card…well let’s just say everyone knows where you live.
Today’s executive orders are only a warm-up lap for what’s coming — just wait and see.

Alaska Volcano Eruption “Imminent”
Residents in and around Anchorage, Alaska are stocking up on supplies and preparing for what scientists say is the imminent eruption of Mount Redoubt. The volcano last blew on Dec. 15, 1989 sending a cloud of ash more than 150 miles away. Unlike Hawaii’s volcanoes which typically create an orange river of lava that flows down the mountain, Alaska’s volcanoes tend to just explode and send an enormous ash cloud 30,000-50,000 ft. into the jet stream.
John Power who works at the Alaska Volcano Observatory says the ash is very dangerous to humans and can cause severe lung damage and blindness if precautions are not taken.
“It’s a very abrasive kind of rock fragment,” Power said. “It’s not the kind of ash that you find at the base of your wood stove.” The particulate has jagged edges and has been used as an industrial abrasive. “They use this to polish all kinds of metals,” he said. Particulate can injure skin, eyes and breathing passages. The young, the elderly and people with respiratory problems are especially susceptible. Put enough ash under a windshield wiper and it will scratch glass. It’s also potentially deadly for anyone flying in a jet. “Think of flying an airliner into a sandblaster,” Power said.
Power advises Alaskans to prepare as they would for a bad snowstorm: Keep flashlights, batteries and several days’ worth of food in the house, limit driving and prepare to hunker down if the worst of an ash cloud hits.
Video: Al Gore Spreads Global Warming Propaganda On Capital Hill
I had to burst out laughing when I heard this clown on Capital Hill yesterday spreading his global warming lies. Senators from both sides were hanging on to his every word as if a great prophet was in their midst. It’s mind numbing that so many people can fall for this stuff. The founder of The Weather Channel wrote an interesting Op-Ed today about Gore’s testimony and how foolish people are to buy into it.

Video: Protesters Tell Terrorist Bill Ayers To “Go Straight To Hell” At St. Mary’s College
Notice the protesters are not trying to prevent the terrorist from speaking, but are merely exercising their free speech rights by protesting. Contrast that with the treatment conservative speakers get on college campuses. When Ann Coulter or Karl Rove try and speak they’re shouted down, blocked from view, and get food thrown at them. Liberals only give a shit about free speech if they’re the ones trying to exercise it.

CIA Station Chief Accused Of Multiple Rapes
This from ABC News:
The CIA’s station chief at its sensitive post in Algeria is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly raping at least two Muslim women who claim he laced their drinks with a knock-out drug, U.S. law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
Officials say the 41-year old CIA officer, a convert to Islam, was ordered home by the U.S. Ambassador, David Pearce, in October after the women came forward with their rape allegations in September.
Cue the “America is evil”, “America is the real terrorist”, “America is raping Islam” stories. Let the America bashing commence.

Global Warming Alarmist James Hansen’s Former NASA Supervisor Calls Him An “Embarrassment”
The guy who really kick started the fraudulent global warming panic around the world is Dr. James Hansen. He’s Dr. Al Gore’s closest ally and deputy fear monger. Hansen is the chief climate scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).
Hansen’s former boss at NASA is now speaking out and says Hansen’s global warming warming alarmism is an embarrassment to NASA based on fraudulent science.
Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John S. Theon, the former supervisor of James Hansen, NASA’s vocal man-made global warming fear soothsayer, has now publicly declared himself a skeptic and declared that Hansen “embarrassed NASA” with his alarming climate claims and said Hansen was “was never muzzled.” Theon joins the rapidly growing ranks of international scientists abandoning the promotion of man-made global warming fears.
“I appreciate the opportunity to add my name to those who disagree that global warming is man made,” Theon wrote to the Minority Office at the Environment and Public Works Committee on January 15, 2009. “I was, in effect, Hansen’s supervisor because I had to justify his funding, allocate his resources, and evaluate his results,” Theon, the former Chief of the Climate Processes Research Program at NASA Headquarters and former Chief of the Atmospheric Dynamics & Radiation Branch explained.
“Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated NASA’s official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind’s effect on it). Hansen thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress,” Theon wrote. [Note: NASA scientist James Hansen has created worldwide media frenzy with his dire climate warning, his call for trials against those who dissent against man-made global warming fear, and his claims that he was allegedly muzzled by the Bush administration despite doing 1,400 on-the-job media interviews!\
Theon is in good company when it comes to his skepticism on global warming. Contrary to what Al Gore is telling the congress on Capital Hill this very day, the scientific community is in no way in agreement about global warming. In fact, every single day more scientists come forward and join the chorus of those who know Gore and Hansen are liars engaged in one of the biggest cons of all time.
“As Chief of several of NASA Headquarters’ programs (1982-94), an SES position, I was responsible for all weather and climate research in the entire agency, including the research work by James Hansen, Roy Spencer, Joanne Simpson, and several hundred other scientists at NASA field centers, in academia, and in the private sector who worked on climate research,” Theon wrote of his career. “This required a thorough understanding of the state of the science.
I have kept up with climate science since retiring by reading books and journal articles,” Theon added. (LINK) Theon also co-authored the book “Advances in Remote Sensing Retrieval Methods.” [Note: Theon joins many current and former NASA scientists in dissenting from man-made climate fears.
A small sampling includes: Aerospace engineer and physicist Dr. Michael Griffin, the former top administrator of NASA, Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology, and formerly of NASA, Geophysicist Dr. Phil Chapman, an astronautical engineer and former NASA astronaut, Award-Winning NASA Astronaut/Geologist and Moonwalker Jack Schmitt, Award-winning NASA Astronaut and Physicist Walter Cunningham of NASA's Apollo 7, Chemist and Nuclear Engineer Robert DeFayette was formerly with NASA's Plum Brook Reactor, Hungarian Ferenc Miskolczi, an atmospheric physicist with 30 years of experience and a former researcher with NASA's Ames Research Center, Climatologist Dr. John Christy, Climatologist Dr. Roy W. Spencer, Atmospheric Scientist Ross Hays of NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility]
Fighting global warming has become big business much like the war on drugs — except that drugs and drug addiction are real unlike global warming. Al Gore has made more than $100 million dollars since leaving politics and embarking on his global warming crusade. All those “carbon credits” that latte sipping liberals are always buying to offset their “carbon footprint” come from several companies the largest of which is owned by Al Gore. Moreover, Al claims to be “carbon neutral” because of the carbon offsets he buys — except that he buys them from himself.
Evidence is in fact continuing to mount that the earth is in fact cooling rather than warming. Of course to the global warming loons it’s because of global warming that it’s been so cold this winter just like it was because of global warming that summer was so hot. Everything proves global warming while nothing disproves it in the minds of some.
The Obama administration is about to base our entire economy and a lot of our foreign policy on what is a complete and total lie. The global warming agenda is a socialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-business agenda that is aimed at dismantling our way of life.

Democrats Misquote Rush Limbaugh Then Launch Petition Against Him
Democrats can’t stop crying about a supposedly horrible comment Rush Limbaugh made about Barack Obama during an interview on Sean Hannity’s show a couple of nights ago. The liberal media was quick to seize upon a 19 second soundbite in which Rush tells Hannity he wants Obama to fail.
The problem is that as usual the liberal media is lying. What Rush actually said was he wanted America to succeed, but if Barack Obama intends on turning America into a socialist paradise then he wants him to fail.
Now the Democratic National Campaign committee has even launched a petition against Rush for making comments that were misquoted to begin with.
Here’s the entire interview in two parts:
Sarah Palin Launches PAC
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin launched a political action committee today to help support candidates for federal and state office. It’s called SarahPAC and it appears to be a first step in a potential run for president in 2012 or beyond.
According to the Web site, SarahPac welcomes supporters of any political persuasion and will contribute to candidates of any party who share her ideas and goals. But Palin makes special note of the Republican Party on the site, saying it is at “the threshold of an historic renaissance” that should focus on health care, education and government reform.
Aides said Palin will limit her political activity until the Alaska legislative session ends in April. But she planned to travel to Washington on Saturday to attend the Alfalfa Club dinner, an elite gathering of the capital’s political and media establishment.
I’m glad to see that Palin is refusing to be intimidated or silenced by the despicable left-wing media. The viciousness of the attacks on her and her family were unprecedented and outrageous. I look forward to seeing her back on the national stage again in the near future.

Media Cheers Obama For “Setting New Tone” In Islamic World
President Obama gave his first post-inauguration interview to Arab media outlet Al-Aribya. The president appeared to apologize to the Muslim world for alleged “mistakes” America has made. He also promised that his administration would listen rather than “dictate.” The U.S. media is of course overjoyed with Obama’s embrace of the Muslim world and no doubt feels it’s high time America made some apologies.
I don’t have any problem with president Obama wanting to improve relations with the Arab world, but making apologies for America is another thing entirely. I don’t believe America has a damn thing to apologize to the Arab world for.
When are we going to see Arab leaders apologize for radical Islam? I don’t see any Arabs apologizing for the culture of death that Hamas celebrates in the Palestinian territories, or the murder of 179 people in Mumbai by another group of Islamic terrorists.
I don’t see Arabs apologizing for brutalizing and oppressing women, hanging gays in Iran, or murdering U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’ve yet to hear an apology for the month of rioting, looting, and murder that many Muslims participated in over objections to some Danish cartoons.
There also has yet to be an apology for the thug who threw his shoes at president Bush. Not only was there no apology, there was cheering in the streets. However, since I jump up and down cheering whenever we drop a bomb on another terrorist — I let that one slide.
The truth is, the Arab world has more to apologize for than any single group of people on the fucking planet.
