Congress Repeals Ban on Perpetual Motion Machines Select messages from # through # FAQ [/[]\] The People's Cube -> The Daily Truth #1: Congress Repeals Ban on Perpetual Motion Machines Author: Opiate of the People, Location: People's Republic of NJ, USA, EarthPosted: 10/24/2009, 9:54 pm    — WASHINGTON - In a bold move to lessen our dependence on traditional fuels and decrease carbon emissions, Congress voted to repeal an old Republican ban on perpetual motion machines, clearing the way for the development of self-propelled water wheels, self-flowing flasks, float belts, zeromotors, and other environmentally-friendly industrial equipment.

You know the trillions and trillions these Socialists are costing us are going to come due. And let's not forget they've continually (like we predicted) defined "the rich" lower and lower as time as moved on. And that's before the whole tens of trillions we're already on the hook for with the ponzi Social Security scheme, and Medicare and Medicaid. The reality is that these two are going to cost EVERYONE a tremendous amount of money, and do a TREMENDOUS amount of damage. Nobody is going to be spared from these nutjobs' orwellian, liberal nanny-state, rules-are-rules schemes. More and more...

It is so appropriate the democrat symbol is a jackass. They are living up to their mascot. These idiots can't even see their own hypocrisy anymore. Remember Pelosi set a record not too long ago as being the Speaker of a democrat run Congress with the lowest approval rating of the public in HISTORY - 9% approval. When the media and they were ripping Bush for an albeit crappy 27% approval rating. Well Nancy you would have had to TRIPLE your rating at that point just to get back up to Bush's crappy rating. These people are tanking the country....

There is absolutely no way I’ll be able to make this relevant to tech. But I’m posting it anyway. Our Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, vetoed a California legislative finance bill – AB 1176. The letter is terse and to the point. And the first letter of each line in paragraphs 2-3 are even terser and more to the point. Schwarzeneggers battles with the state legislature are epic. But this just goes way beyond epic. It’s something for the history books. (click the link to view the message...)

Bill Clinton Abandons Charity Work A parody. 11/02/2009, Volume 015, Issue 07

On a dark humid Florida night a black sedan meanders toward a mansion where a meeting is to take place about an investment opportunity. A Racial Justice Patrol Car, with a SCB (Successful Conservative Bulletin) taped to its dash, sirens screaming, lights flashing, headlights beaming on high blinding anyone looking back, compels a pullover. The two officers, guns drawn, loudspeakers in the other hand shout, “Get out of the car — NOW!” A slimmed down radio talk show host exits, EIB microphone in hand. The racial cops scream, “Put your hands on the car and keep your big mouth away...

An image of the bill's veto message, with some interpretive graphics added: A link to this pdf on Schwarznegger's official web site can be found here, in the "Bills Vetoed" section. It's the real deal.

How does a prep school, Ivy League graduate get to talk like a bro? It's the Authentic Obama Voice Changer. Now you too can get the changer and sound like you have authentic street creds.

This guy has played more damn golf in nine months than George Bush did in ALL 8 years in office! It's not like the economy is tanking hard, now they say it'll be a 'jobless recovery', Iran's working on its first nuke, which could be the thing that just happens to begin WWIII, and spikes oil to $800 a barrel (if you'll be able to get it), and Afghanistan still awaits a decision from THE ONE. But hey, we can get another 18 in today, right? Here's the bill. Send him one and ask him to politely shove it where...

There are a litany of concerns that parents face regarding the Halloween season, not the least of which is helping your child choose just the right costume for the big night. We here at The Nose On Your Face offer a word of caution to parents. There are unscrupulous people out there who will attempt to sell your child an inappropriate Halloween costume. As a service to our readers, we have compiled a list of some...

Obama: 'I'm Skinny...But Tough' Tuesday, October 27, 2009 7:30 AM President Barack Obama has lashed back at critics who fear he lacks the steel to be a successful president, saying "I'm skinny ... but I'm tough." Obama, who is trying to navigate a climate of sharp political partisanship, said he was spoiling for a fight to enact his ambitious agenda. "There are people saying mean things about me and folks are worried," Obama said on Monday, as he headlined a pair of Florida Democratic Party fundraisers that racked up a total of 1.5 million dollars. "Just 'cause I'm skinny doesn't...

News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher. [in other words, satire]President Obama today announced his plan to add "choice and competition" to the World Series of Major League Baseball by adding a 'public team' to the traditional end-of-season championship duel. The president said the public option was needed because the American League champion New York Yankees and National League victors, the Philadelphia Phillies, were "motivated by greed to put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people." "Without a public option," said Obama, "you would just see two teams trying to run up the score, without any...

MSNBC President Phil Griffin has vowed to launch a “thorough and complete investigation” to root out “any insidious, racist teleprompters in our midst.” After anchor Contessa Brewer was victimized by a racist ‘prompter that couldn’t tell the difference between Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton, the news organization realized that it had a serious problem on its hands. “It’s something that we probably should have paid more attention to after the first few incidents,” said Griffin. Griffin then detailed some recent ‘prompter faux pas that the post-racial Obama administration network of choice originally dismissed as isolated incidents. Last spring,...

Give Ed Schultz credit for something: on his MSNBC show this evening, he hosted an amusing smackdown between Barney Frank and Ralph Nader, perhaps the two most morose public men in America. For once, Barney was attacked from the left. The gist of Ralph's rebuke was that Frank hasn't gone far enough in regulating the financial industry. Frank was finally so provoked that he claimed/admitted that when it comes to regulation, Democrats are "trying on every front to increase the role of government." View video here.

A parody of a memoir by Republican former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is set to be released the same day as her real book hits the shelves next month, the publisher said Monday. With a nearly identical cover photo and similar typeface on the title and subheadings, "Going Rouge: An American Nightmare" looks remarkably similar to the planned cover of the Alaska governor's "Going Rogue: An American Life." Both are set for release on November 17. "Going Rouge" is compiled by a pair of editors at the left-leaning Nation magazine, and is to be published by OR books which launched...

This week's Weekend Caption Contest™ was another monster hit. You've got to hand it to Michelle Obama, in 99% of photos she does a marvelous job of hiding her rather large derriere. Unfortunately for her, this photo is from among the other 1%. And don't get me started about the belt... The assignment this week was to caption the following picture: Here are the winning entries:

The Auto Author is the secret behind Barack Obama's success. You too can get the Auto Author and receive fame and fortune.

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America . Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these: First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks.. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and...

I had a hard time containing myself.

When you get the AP doing fact checking, you have to know something's amiss in Obama fantasyland. In the POTUS's desperate attempt to simplify his demand for remaking America's health care system, he reverts to the proven Alinsky techniques of finding a demon, targeting that demon and isolating it to stir up public discontent. His latest mantras have been focused on portraying those evil health insurers in the same light as Wall Street CEO's. Trouble is, facts get in the way of the rhetoric. Per AP's Calvin Woodward today, health insurers' profits have barely exceeded 2% in the latest annual...

Billy Mays comes back to sell Michelle Obama's first exercise video. If you call now or are the tenth caller a surprise awaits you.

Forgive me in advance for fawning, but Michelle Obama is the coolest first lady ever. She clinched it for me this week by jumping double Dutch on the South Lawn as part of a “healthy kids fair.” The scene underscored my impression of the first lady as utterly unencumbered by convention. She seems to feel free — free enough to loosen up and laugh a little, free enough to let her inner child peek through the veil of parenthood, free enough to be herself. I couldn’t imagine recent first ladies jumping a puddle on the sidewalk, let alone two ropes...

Just been getting real tired of the RINOs spouting off about the party and ripping conservatives as the problem. These people are cancer to the GOP and need to be excised. Follow the lead of your ass-face Arlen Specter and admit what you are and go to the Democrats. Look how happy Arlen is now that he's come to grips about who he really is. All you jackasses are more concerned if the libs like you and the media likes you and that you better listen to the media pundits when they tell you what you need to do to...

Obama's war against Fox News and other critics has Groucho all fired up. I quote some lines from both Marxes.

Breaking News: Sarah Palin Supports ACORN RefundingDoug Giles Saturday, October 24, 2009 The only way the fringe “news” outlets would ever report on ACORN in an antagonistic manner would be if Sarah Palin somehow supported this creepy cabal. Sarah, if you’re reading this column, maybe you should throw your name behind ACORN for a month or two just to get the White House/ACORN’s lap dogs to finally join with FOX and bark down the despicable ACORN clowns until they’re properly vilified, permanently defunded, and eternally ensconced in American history as nothing more than a bad, bad memory—a veritable proverb...

Friend, I enjoy writing these weekly columns, and I especially enjoy the mounting response I've been getting, mostly positive. I even appreciate the negative ones and disagreements as well – as long as they're civil. As I was preparing this week's column, I read this from my own e-mails. And it's so good, I just want to share it with you. Naturally, I don't have all the e-mail addresses of my readers, and this is the best way to see that you get a look at this one. I certainly couldn't have written it better myself. So, with thanks to...

A small town police department in Minnesota will put a motorized lounge chair up for auction next week after it was seized in a drunk driving incident. The black and blue pleather lounge chair comes complete with stereo, footrest, cupholders, headlights, a nitrous oxide power boost system, drag racing-style steering wheel and a parachute. Built on top of a riding lawnmower engine, the chair is decorated with stickers proclaiming "hell yeah it's fast" and "I smoked your (expletive)," and can get up to speeds of around 15 miles (24 kilometers) per hour. It was seized on August 31, 2008 after...

hopefully this HTML works. . . this cartoon is hilarious!

These people are incredible. They are delusional. they believe they are kings and queens that the law doesn't apply to and only they understand what the law is. And even if it applies to them they can ignore it when they know better. Pelosi has the gall to duck a real question as to where the Constitution allows Congress to FORCE citizens to buy health insurance. She knows they cannot do so, they have ZERO authority to do so. The General Welfare clause is a laugh. It has NEVER been used or seen by anyone as direct power to force...

BRISTOL, Va. – A woman accused of skipping bond was handcuffed, sexually assaulted during a strip search and hauled off to jail Oct. 9. But the three who arrested her were only masquerading as drug task force agents. On top of that, police said, the fake agents nabbed the wrong woman and passed her to a bail bondsman in the hopes of receiving a reward. The bondsman then took the woman to the Bristol Virginia Jail, where she was immediately freed because jailers quickly discerned her true identity. “She clearly had identification to clearly show she wasn’t the person in...

Now that it has been revealed that there are Maoists in the Obama government, it's time that he gets his own little red book.

Rush: If Fox News Is Talk Radio, MSNBC and CNN Are Pornography By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-10-22 20:03 Rush Limbaugh has responded to Barack Obama's claim that Fox News is like talk radio by stating that if the President is right, MSNBC and CNN are pornography. As NewsBusters' Mark Finkelstein reported [0] Thursday, Obama replied to a question about Fox News from NBC's Savannah Guthrie on this morning's "Today" show: "[I]f media is operating basically as a talk-radio format, then that's one thing, and if it's operating as a news outlet, then that's another." This amused Limbaugh who early in...

We shuold however leave them as we need not have a wavering unsure base to build upon so let them go they only help dems. As for us lets start a new change...

NEW YORK — MSNBC's Contessa Brewer has apologized for mixing up civil rights activists Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. She made the slip-up Wednesday while introducing Jackson during a segment on homelessness. After the introduction, Jackson stared at the camera from a studio in Burbank, Calif., and said, "I'm Rev. Jesse Jackson."Brewer explained that her script read that she was to introduce "the Rev. Al Sharpton."She continued, "We all know who you are, Rev. Jackson. I'm so sorry."

Michael Moore: Take All Your Money Out of Banks and Stocks By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-10-22 13:59 Schlockumentary producer Michael Moore Thursday advised his readers to take all their money out of banks that received bailout funds AND divest themselves completely of American stocks. Such lunacy was posted [1] at Moore's website as part of a list of things he recommends people do "to fight back and try to fix this very broken system." Moore began by listing five truly hysterical demands of the President and Congress: 1. Declare a moratorium on all home evictions. Not one more family should...

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called "pullets" and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs. The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report...

Singing competitions can happen anywhere. Just ask Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), who broke into song during a recent House Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee hearing on high-speed rail. The subject of the hearing clearly had Cohen thinking about fast trains. “Have you ever heard of [1960s band] the Box Tops?” Cohen quizzed Federal Railroad Administrator Joseph Szabo. “Yes, I remember the Box Tops, but I ... ” he stumbled, “you were stretching me a little bit, but ... ” Cohen clearly had a home-field advantage: The Box Tops were a Memphis, Tenn., group whose biggest hit, “The Letter,” came out when...
