During a recent interview, anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist struggled to explain his ties to a pharmaceutical trade group and then “took off” when he was asked about his history lobbying for home loan-backer Fannie Mae, an organization that he now criticizes. The Republic Report’s Zaid Jilani and Lee Fang caught up with Norquist at an American Enterprise Institute event last week where they asked him about Republican claims that President Barack Obama’s administration had scuttled increased reimportation of cheaper drugs because of donations from the pharmaceutical industry. “That wasn’t a campaign contribution to elect Obama,” Norquist explained. ...

Does getting high for four straight hours and thinking you’re on a “bridge” that is actually a 40-foot power line pylon sound like fun? That is what locals found a 21-year-old girl from Zlin, Czech Republic, doing Friday, the Austrian Times reports. She spent four hours smoking “super-strength skunk cannabis,” which caused her to hallucinate and climb the high-voltage pole, thinking it was a bridge that crossed the Morova River which runs through Central Europe. Locals called police to save the girl. After two hours, and with the help of drug counselors, the police were able to convince her to descend from the pylon. “It was a nightmare because she was very ...
Man-Made Warming Blamed for Disappearing Bird Populations [Photographic Evidence]

A research team working on a two-million-dollar government grant just made a shocking discovery: intense man-made heat waves are decimating bird populations throughout the globe, including the birds that were recently thriving in local neighborhoods. According to the researchers, anthropogenic warming-related activities are directly responsible. Steady temperature increases, especially when confined to small areas, target inactive birds that can no longer fly away to avoid the consequences. As technologically induced heat waves are being absorbed across the skin, the affected birds begin to turn brown. "These incidents illustrate a need for an increase in government spending on ...

The Los Angeles Times reports that the Obama administration is “deeply concerned” by the Egyptian military regime’s having seized powers so as to prevent a Muslim Brotherhood takeover of the country. Pentagon press secretary George Little said that “We…urge the [military] to relinquish power to civilian-elected authorities….” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that “We are particularly concerned by decisions that appear to prolong the military’s hold on power.” As the report notes, the military regime’s move is aimed at preventing the Brotherhood’s presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi—if he has indeed been ...
Tea Party Senator Wants JPMorgan CEO To ‘Guide’ Congress On Banking Regulation

Tea party favorite Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) on Wednesday asked JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who recently announced that his company had lost at least $2 billion in the derivative market, to “guide” Congress in creating friendly banking regulations. During a U.S. Senate Banking Committee hearing, DeMint told Dimon that lawmakers had no right to judge JPMorgan for their massive losses. “We can hardly sit in judgement of your losing $2 billion,” the junior senator from South Carolina explained. “We lose twice that every day here in Washington and plan to continue to do that every day. It’s comforting to know that even with a $2 billion loss in a trade last year, your ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Burger King wants to lure customers this summer with a barbecue party — and a bacon sundae. The world’s second biggest hamburger chain on Thursday is launching several pork, beef and chicken sandwiches as limited time offers. And for a sweet ending, the company is also offering a bacon sundae — vanilla soft serve with fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a piece of bacon — that started in Nashville, Tenn. earlier this year. The salty-sweet dessert clocks in at 510 calories, 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar. The limited-time items are Burger King’s latest push to win back customers with a revived menu and reverse sliding market share, an ...

As the demonstrations targeting the Bilderberg conference of international leaders in Chantilly, Virginia, drew to a close on Sunday, dozens of protesters gathered around one man, hoping for a picture or an autograph. "Alex, what's next?" one protester repeatedly yelled. "God bless you, Alex," said a number of others, as they stood outside a service entrance to a heavily guarded Marriott. The object of their adoration was Alex Jones, an Austin, Texas-based radio host and counter-culture icon. A stout man with close-cropped hair, Jones was dressed in denim, his temples soaked with sweat. Throughout the morning black sedans and SUVs would leave the property amid ...

An Arab enters a taxi cab in Fort Worth, Texas.......... Once he is seated he asks the cab driver to turn off the radio because he must not hear music as decreed by his religion and; in the time of the prophet, there was no music, especially Western music, which is music of the infidel's and certainly no radio ........ So the cab driver politely switches off the radio, pulls over to the side, stops the cab and opens the back door. The Arab asks him: "What are you doing man?" The Texan answers: "In the time of the prophet there were no taxis. So get your ass out and wait for a camel."

New Federal Golf Regulations Since these new golf rules just went into effect as of January 1, 2012, please share with fellow golfers.

President Obama's high school years were, by his own admission, a hazy, drug-induced blur. Obama, by all accounts, was a habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.” The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu Advertiser reported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed … A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” One of Obama’s close friends was arrested for drug possession during high school...

Biden Blames Tea Party for Economy Written on Thursday, May 24, 2012 by Ann-Marie Murrell Apparently Joe Biden has forgotten that the Obama administration held both the House and Senate their first two years in office. During those two years, they basically controlled the world—and they could have forced through gay marriage, could have passed a budget and any other whim or agenda they chose. They chose nothing. Other than Obamacare, they waited until after the Tea Party took control of the House in 2010 to try to do anything. And as usual, the vice president is blaming the Tea Party for all the problems in America. At a fundraiser in New Hampshire, Biden played the usual Obama ...

You Might Be A Liberal If… Written on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 by Tad Cronn As the election season gets well under way and the political claims, exaggerations and outright lies start to fly fast and furious as a Mexican drug dealer crossing the border with a trunk full of U.S.-made weaponry, it can be helpful to sort out some of the issues and determine if you land on the liberal side of the fence. So with respect to Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a liberal if: Electric car drivers are big news in your town, but possible fraud and ineligibility on the part of the president of the United States is a non-story.

Ultra-Conservative Heartland Institute Faces Financial Crisis After Ill-Advised Billboard Campaign

The ultra-conservative Heartland Institute admitted it was in financial crisis on Wednesday, with the flight of corporate donors making it difficult to pay staff or cover the costs of its annual conference aimed at debunking climate science. In a speech at the close of this year’s climate conference, Heartland’s president, Joseph Bast, acknowledged that a provocative ad campaign comparing believers in human-made climate change to psychopaths had exacted a heavy cost. However, Bast also attributed Heartland’s current problems to his weakness in financial management. “These conferences are expensive, and I’m not a good fundraiser so as a result I don’t raise ...

Retired Gen. Colin Powell is encouraging Fox News host Sean Hannity to give up his obsession about President Barack Obama’s former relationships with Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “I find him one of the most divisive figures in — that I’ve witnessed in politics today,” Hannity told Powell during an interview on Tuesday. “[T]hat’s a term that’s being used rather freely,” Powell noted. “I don’t think he’s that divisive an issue. … What could have been more divisive than, when President Obama was inaugurated, for a number of Republicans, friends of mine, and a number of commentators to say, ‘We’re going to ...

The most conservative Republicans in Congress tend to speak at the lowest grade level, according to an analysis by the Sunlight Foundation. The analysis found that the more conservative a Republican was, the lower his or her speech level tended to be. But same is also partially true for lawmakers on the opposite side of the political spectrum. More progressive Democrats in Congress also tend to speak at a lower grade level. However, the decline in speech complexity is less pronounced for Democrats than it is for Republicans. “The overall complexity of speech in the Congressional Record has dropped almost a full grade level since 2005,” Lee Drutman of the Sunlight Foundation ...

A House Republican who has been an outspoken critic of Afghanistan's central government has been banned from entering the country, Afghan president Hamid Karzai said Monday. Appearing on CNN's The Situation Room, Karzai was asked if he would allow Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Oversight and Investigations subcommittee, into Afghanistan if the lawmaker requested. "Definitely not . . . until he changes his stand, shows respect to the Afghan people, to our way of life and to our constitution," Karzai replied. "It's is a matter of principle." Rohrabacher was denied entry into the country in April when he attempted to ...

Dear Potential Investor: For years, you’ve wasted your time on Facebook. Now here’s your chance to waste your money on it, too. Tomorrow is Facebook’s IPO, and I know what some of you are thinking. How will Facebook be any different from the dot-com bubble of the early 2000’s? For one thing, those bad dot-com stocks were all speculation and hype, and weren’t based on real businesses. Facebook, on the other hand, is based on a solid foundation of angry birds and imaginary sheep. Second, Facebook is the most successful social network in the world, enabling millions to share information of no interest with people they barely know. Third, every time someone clicks ...

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians on Monday in the state Capitol. The Associated Press described the induction as a “secretive ceremony.” The event was closed to the public and only certain guests, including more than 100 Republican lawmakers, were allowed to attend. Police stood guard outdoors to prevent uninvited guests from entering. During his induction, Limbaugh repeatedly talked about his family. He described how his father had tried to pressure him into attending college. But Limbaugh had refused his advice and instead sought a career in radio. “[My father] felt like a totally failure, he didn’t understand ...

Anger Over Newsweek 'First Gay President' Cover Newsweek featured Barack Obama on the cover with a rainbow halo over his head with the title: "First Gay President." And now the DUmmies are angry because of the effect that cover will have on the election this year. I don't think Tina Brown was doing The One any favors when she chose that Newsweek cover. My thought is that the Newsweek folks and many other media liberals live in an insulated bubble which prevents them from seeing the damage that cover can do to the Bamster. However, many DUmmies are worried about this as well as ANGRY at Newsweek as you can see in this THREAD, "WOW, Newsweek Cover: "The ...

One Million Recall Signatures and Only 650k Votes? by Rebel Pundit The numbers don’t lie, do they? That all depends, I guess, on which numbers you mean. After a year of protesting and fighting to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, an interesting number peered its way into the public yesterday—the primary vote tally. The total number of votes cast in the Democratic Party primary for Governor was only 650,725. Why is this number so interesting? Well, because we have all heard for months now how many furious Wisconsinites there are in the dairy state. And, of course, how they accounted for over one million signatures to recall Governor Walker. Over one million! That’s ...
