We have always sought to provide you with as comprehensive a list of holiday parties to crash, and we’ve stepped on some toes doing just that (The RIAA still isn’t a fan of ours for the Wyclef party crash a couple of years ago). Well, this year a friend of ours and First Friday regular has created a site to compile the party-crash list for us, and created a site dedicated to letting you know about all the receptions year-round, so it’s THE crash site out there. It’s called Cloture Club. Bookmark it, check it regularly and, most importantly, happy crashing!

Fearless – The Bravery
Intros, welcomes and random insults.
The Health Care Summit – The taxpayer funded dog and pony show.
The reconciliation lie – What? Who, me?
Charlie Rangel’s little problem that has amounted to nothing whatsoever. The swamp of corruption is still full and swarming with life.

Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey – The Beatles

Jungle Boogie – Kool and the Gang
Senator Jim Bunning holds up the Senate, exposes liberals as phonies. The inability of Democrats to find $10 billion in offsets in a $3 trillion budget shows how unserious they are about controlling spending. It is NOT a filibuster.
The Texas Governor’s race, not looking good for KBH, looking good for Governor Perry.
Harold Ford Jr. will not be running for the Senate from New York. Chuck Schumer fends off another challenger to his puppet. NY’s history of carpetbaggers in the context of this failure.
The Winter Olympics recap. What a way to end them, US vs Canada for the gold in hockey. Some events that suck, some are good. Should subjective events be in the Olympics? Canadian patriotism – kinda freaky.
Top 5 sporting upsets of all time, the Miracle on Ice is clearly number 1.

English theme park seems smelly urine for “Saw” movie themed maze. Yes, gross.

This is brilliant!!!!
Above is the face of Paul Krugman people see on TV in the New York Times, but the man has (at least) two. Depending upon which party is in power, he is of two faces on the filibuster. Just see the examples below. (Brought to our attention by a friend.)
Here he is on March 29, 2005:
“But the big step by extremists will be an attempt to eliminate the filibuster, so that the courts can be packed with judges less committed to upholding the law than Mr. Greer.”
And here he is yesterday:
“Senators themselves should recognize this fact and push through changes in those rules, including eliminating or at least limiting the filibuster. This is something they could and should do, by majority vote, on the first day of the next Senate session.”
The only thing that has changed between then and now is which party controls the Senate and by how much, specifically the election of Senator Scott Brown from Massachusetts.
I would ask how Krugman can look at anyone with a straight face, but he probably has a third face for just that occasion.
This is listed as a parody by those that posted it but it has too much awesomeness to be a parody.

Democrats on an escalator
This is pretty much how they live their lives, waiting for someone else to do something for them.
Michael Moore makes a movie (there’s an alliteration for you) about how capitalism is bad and corporations are stealing money from hard working taxpayers…nothing shocking so far. But then he uses a law he opposes to bilk taxpayers so he and the corporation he works for can make more money off of that movie. Anyone see a disconnect here?
Watch the video and learn more from our friends at the Mackinac Center here.
In keeping with the tradition of the Left, SEIU chief goon Andy Stern called Senate Democrats “legislative ‘terrorists’” today. He was joking…or was he? There are unconfirmed rumors that we’re starting that say Stern then ordered his purple-shirted gang of thugs to take a break from beating up black conservatives and egg homes of Senators Mary Landreu and Ben Nelson. Again, these rumors we’ve made up are, as yet, unconfirmed.
Way to keep things in perspective, Andy.
Robert Byrd, who was first sworn into the Senate two years before dirt was invented, is always good for show our outrage…though he rarely mentions his own past as a member of the KKK. Odd.
Remember the “Coot off” a few years ago?
By any unit of measure, this was a draw.

Here are some of the best fake ad we’ve done for the podcast so far…
When Eliot Spitzer was caught cheating with a prostitute and his wife stuck by him, a new product was born…Sleazealis.
The Obama Helmet ad from Ronco, back when people were passing out at Obama rallies left and right.
Back when John Edwards went on his “poverty tour” we came up with this one.
When Colombia University invited Amadenijad to speak, we opened with this one.
There has been a lot of talk about “Hope” this year, so we created “Hope Energy Drink” which actually has more substance.
Before the world really knew Barack Obama (and we still really don’t, thanks to the media), we had a quick ad about his biography.
And when Barack Obama got the support of everyone’s favorite designated driver, Uncle Teddy Kennedy, we put out this one.
The first time General David Patraeus came to testify before Congress, Liberals showed how open-minded they were, and so did we.
For a while the Democrat primaries were coming down to superdelegates, and the race was on to win them over. Here is the first episode of “The Adventures of Superdelegate.“
Little known fact, Barack Obama came out with his own fragrance during the campaign. No, it doesn’t smell like you think…
Let’s not forget “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Socialism,” new from Obama and the media.
Finally, who can forget the Wilson’s? All they wanted to do was to be left alone, or so they said in their never-ending television appearances.
That’s a sampling of what we’ve done so far…Only the Shadow knows what the future holds.

Also, we do have a Facebook group but there are only a few members because we don’t do much with it, frankly. But we do post some pictures from First Friday there a few days before we post all of them, and you can tag people, so there is a small benefit to joining. If you are so inclined you can join the group here. Considering some of the odd groups on Facebook people join, joining our group isn’t all that strange.

The truth behind the numbers – life expectancy and health care.
John Conyers has no interest in reading the bills he votes on because they’re too complicated and he needs lawyers to understand it. Finally a liberal tells the truth, it has nothing to do with policy and everything to do with ideology. Heath agrees to read the bill and explain it to the corrupt Conyers. Members of Congress who are untouchable.
CBO delivers another blow to socialized medicine by saying the bill won’t save any money, even after Obama’s arm-twisting attempts. Blue Dogs hold the line…for now.
Nancy Pelosi is slightly less popular than toenail fungus and doesn’t care. But she does want to be trusted.
A pledge to read the bills they vote on in Congress and how it will go nowhere. Stimulus money to repair or fix toilets. We told you it was a crappy bill.

No wonder Barney Frank wouldn’t answer the question that kid at Harvard asked him about what responsibility, if any, was his. He kept referring to when he became Chairman and forgot about when he was Ranking Member and blocked anything from getting done.
What you should have done all along is NOT be a corrupt douchebag, Congressman Frank. But that’s too much to ask for from you, especially when you’re raking in money from them.
It does seem odd that liberals, who love regulating damn near everything, somehow thought there were enough regulations on Fannie and Freddie. There’s a connection – those industries that pay, get to play. Those that don’t, get regulated. We’re still waiting for the Special Comment from the “special” Keith Uberdouche on this issue.
Former comedian Janeane Garofalo and former sports comedienne Keith Uberdouche, er, Olbermann, had a conversation last week that exposed the world to the fact that not only are they raging hypocrites, but they’ve clearly suffered closed head injuries in the past few years. Well, now we have a window of time. Seems they forgot all about the older conversation in this exchange, so that would put the accident (which we assume both are) sometime between then and now.
Note the use of Nazi type propaganda. If you don’t get that reference, go look up some history.
This is disturbing and not surprising at all. Note the smiles.
Birds of a feather…

Liberals and taxes – it’s their money, they are just allowing you to keep some of it…for now.
This is how scummy these rich liberals are. They live like kings, shelter their money in trust funds while creating a permanent dependent class of Americans who will never live the American Dream they have for no other reason than they’ve been told they can’t succeed, that the deck is stacked against them, that they NEED government, and they bought it. Those that don’t buy it succeed. There’s enough guilt to go around to both liberals and those that quit, but the blame is all on the empty heads of liberals.

Obama on Economics
Don’t know where this came from, but whoever made it is right.
Great video from our friends at Cato about how screwed up the tax code is.
Kudos to Camille Paglia, the often right and always entertaining professor with we regularly disagree but never find disagreeable, for having the courage to call American liberals out for what they really are.
Yes, something very ugly has surfaced in contemporary American liberalism, as evidenced by the irrational and sometimes infantile abuse directed toward anyone who strays from a strict party line. Liberalism, like second-wave feminism, seems to have become a new religion for those who profess contempt for religion. It has been reduced to an elitist set of rhetorical formulas, which posit the working class as passive, mindless victims in desperate need of salvation by the state. Individual rights and free expression, which used to be liberal values, are being gradually subsumed to worship of government power.
We know and have known many people like this, with whom a rational conversation is impossible, people who run out of things to say once they’ve used up all the “facts” they read in the latest issue of The Nation, Mother Jones or Newsweek. The inability of these people to thing beyond what they’re fed, to extrapolate beyond talking points they’re read or to have a coversation that doesn’t end in anger and name-calling on their part is why we don’t miss the ones we knew and won’t the ones we know, should it come to that. Paglia, on the other hand, is welcome to join us for a beer any time.

Here’s to you, Mr. Jefferson.
Brilliant and sad.
Feeling sad about the economy? Worried about your financial situation? Forget the fact that people have been through much worse, even this country has been through much worse (we survived the Depression and Jimmy Carter’s Presidency), Barack Obama is going to save you. Or at least offer pseudo-help.
The White House has come out with warning signs for depression over the economy, they can be found here.
Oddly enough, there is nothing on the site for people who are depressed that the President is ruining the country, making a natural correction of the economy much, much worse, spending the country into insurmountable debt, attempting to ruin health care, nationalizing industry and banks, all the while laughing and and having Wednesday night parties to maintain a sense of “normalcy.” (What normal person has mid-week set for party time every week?)
Maybe the President will assign everyone their own personal Reggie Love, the guy that dials Obama Blackberry, because you can’t take a second to dial your phone or supply your own snacks when you’re THE ONE!
This is real. You can read the whole story here.
At the same time, Obama will be constantly minded by his personal aide Reggie Love, who dials his BlackBerry, fetches his jacket and tie and supplies him with snacks.
Bet none of those greedy, evil CEOs on Wall Street had a dude to “fetch” their jackets.

Obama’s God Complex…in pictures.
Maybe he does think he’s The One, maybe it’s just the people around him, but whatever the case, someone is believing this stuff hard-core in the White House.
Sadly, while he walks on water, we all drown in his debt.
Click on the pick, it's official White House (all the way at the bottom)
He's just crazy enough to do it!
There are stories that you simply can’t make up because no one would believe you. They also require little comment. This reporter wonders if taking out his whole family might be the best way to deal with a potential water shortage…
Depressed? Well, it’s a sign of the grim times for our planet when pre-schoolers are worrying about something as basic as water, a commodity which my generation never even thought about at his age.
When I look at my kids like my son and wonder what kind of place the world will be when they are my age – about 2050 – I find myself wondering if me and my family shouldn’t just open the balcony doors of my 16th floor apartment and do the planet a favour by jumping out.
