On Thursday, the disgraced welfare rights organization filed suit over a congressional funding ban passed in September after [...]

The thug politics power couple of Anita “A Pox on Fox” Dunn and Bob “The Silencer” Bauer isn’t going anywhere. I said it earlier this week and on Fox News early Thursday morning (vid here).
Now comes word late tonight that Bauer is indeed — as has been rumored for nearly a month via Glenn Beck [...]

This is how they roll in Barack and Michelle Obama’s Chicago. The 26-year-old son of Nation of Islam chieftain Louis Farrakhan gets a $63,000 government job as a “business manager” in C(r)ook County after the Nation of Islam-endorsed C(r)ook County Board president, Todd Stroger, wins his seat.
The local Fox affiliate pressed Stroger on the patronage [...]

Personnel is policy.
Obama’s policy is the Perpetual Campaign.
Which is why he has surrounded himself with nothing but campaign goons.
Dan Gerstein has an excellent column on all the president’s hacks:
The president’s top advisers are not just overly political, they are almost totally political. Indeed, this West Wing is stacked with “hacks”–campaign professionals who are acculturated to [...]

Hollywood hearts Obama. Obama hearts government-directed national service. That is why you won’t be able to change the TV channel all week without getting lectured about the need to get off the couch and Do Something. (After your favorite shows are over, [...]

But, well, I told you so.
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham has signed on to the Democrats’ massive green redistribution scheme masquerading as a planet-saving, national security-enhancing “energy independence” scheme.
Can John McCain and the rest of the Climate Change Republicans be far behind?
First, a quick trip down GOP eco-sellout memory [...]

Here’s the e-mail of the day, from a beleaguered federal employee at the Commerce Department.
Thanks to the e-mailer for giving us a revealing glimpse into the bowels of the spam-happy, appointee-overrun Obama bureaucracy.
Michelle,
I work for the Department of Commerce as a federal employee…and am getting rather fed up with what I have seen since last [...]

The Naked Emperor revisited.

Michelle Obama wants you to know that the all-out Chicago Olympics bid is not for The Cronies.
It’s for…The Children!
Especially, says Mrs. O, the fat children:
We need all of our children to be exposed to the Olympic ideals that athletes from around the world represent, particularly this time in our nation’s history, where athletics is [...]

At the White House briefing today, spokesman Robert Gibbs touted the “tangible economic benefits” of the Obamas’ Chicago Crony Olympics bid.
Well, there would certainly be “tangible economic benefits” for certain Chicago crony developers — like Michael Scott, Jr.
And fellow business crony Gerald Fogelson.
The Chicago Tribune reported last week:
A key member of Mayor Richard Daley’s Olympic [...]

In our latest edition of Olympics Crony Watch…the silencing of dissent. Hey, it’s the Chicago way.
Drudge reports that WFLD-TV has been ordered not to broadcast an anti-Olympics segment again.
Meanwhile, as I noted last week, the president himself will now join cronies Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama to personally lobby in Copenhagen for Chicago’s bid.
On Tuesday, [...]

Last week, I spotlighted Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama’s collaborative efforts to push their mentor, friend, and former employer Chicago mayor Richard Daley’s bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago in 2016.

Ever since the “American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009″ kicked in, it was obvious that a major part of the stimulus would be paying people to design, manufacture and put up signs alerting taxpayers where their “stimulus” money was going. You’d have to spend a fortune on an investigation to find a better example [...]

Cronies.

Longtime readers are aware of the left-wing bent of children’s TV network Nickelodeon.
They p.c.-i-fied the Alamo in 2005.
They went moonbatty on the military and the war on terror in 2007.
And they pushed pro-illegal alien amnesty propaganda in 2008.
Well, they’re at it again, along with liberal philanthropists, bloggers, and the Viacom conglomerate — launching a [...]
