The 4,800 calorie burger


The West Michigan White Caps, a minor league baseball team, has a grand slam of an entree. Its four-pound burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, one cup of chili, oodles of salsa and more... all for only $20.

The club reports that anyone who finishes the monstrosity in one sitting will win a free T-shirt.

Michael Moore was unavailable for comment.

Universal hand-signal of cameraderie for drivers with Obama bumperstickers


Ray sent this one in.

The following symbol can be used nationwide by drivers... whenever they see someone with an Obama bumpersticker.

As you pass the other vehicle, make the following motion to the driver to express your support.


The circle stands for Obama, our president.

The back and forth motion reflects the inevitable progress -- like the tide itself -- of his Marxist agenda.

Don Rickles Roasts Congress... and Barack Obama


Satire Alert: In real life, the brilliant Don Rickles never does any routine that even remotely touches on politics. Truth be told, I am a huge fan of Mr. Rickles, so I'm hoping this disclaimer gets me out of hot water with his public relations folks. Although I am pleased that I have actually met people -- very large and intimidating people -- who know him. So, remember, these are not Mr. Rickle's words; nor does he approve of them; and furthermore he is only -- by the barest thread imaginable -- tolerating my existence.


Hello, dummies!

Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else hurt in the accident?
Seriously, Senator Reid has a face of a Saint - A Saint Bernard.
Now I know why they call you the arithmetic man. You add partisanship, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance.

Reid is so physically unimposing, he makes Pee Wee Herman look like Mr. T.
And Reid's so dumb, he makes Speaker Pelosi look like an intellectual.
Nevada is soooo screwed!
If I were less polite, I'd say Reid makes Kevin Federline look successful.

Speaking of the Speaker... Nancy Pelosi, hubba, hubba!
Hey baby, you must've been something before electricity.
Seriously, the Speaker may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. She really is an idiot.

Madame Speaker... want to make twelve bucks the hard way?
Pelosi says she's not partisan, but her constituents call her Madame Pelossilini.

Charlie Rangel... still alive and still robbing the taxpayers blind. What does that make, six decades of theft?
Rangel's the only man with a rent-controlled mansion.

He's the guy who writes our tax laws but forgot to pay taxes on $75 grand in rental income!
So why isn't he the Treasury Secretary?
Rangel runs more scams than a Nigerian Banker.

Barney Frank - he's a better actor than Fred Flintstone.
Consider... he and Dodd caused the whole financial meltdown and they're not only not serving time with Bubba and Rodney, they're still heading up the financial system!

Let's all admit it... Barney Frank slobbers more than a sheepdog on novocaine.
How did this guy get elected? Oh, that's right... he's from Massachusetts.
That's the state that elects Mr. Charisma, John Kerry -- man of the people!

You know, if Senator Dodd were any more crooked, you could open wine bottles with him.
Here's a news flash, Dodd: when your local newspaper calls you a "lying weasel", it may be time to retire.

Dodd's involved in more shady deals than the Clintons.
Even Rangel looks up to him!

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, I really respect you... especially given your upbringing. All you've overcome...
I heard your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory.

I don't know what makes you so dumb, but it really works for you.
Personally, I don't think you are a fool, but what's my opinion compared to that of thousands of others?
Gibbs does his best expositional work in the bathroom every morning.

As for President Obama, what can I say?
They say President Obama's arrogant and aloof, but I don't agree.
Now it's true when you enter the room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket.
His mind is open to new ideas -- so open that ideas simply pass through it.

Obama lies so much, I was actually surprised to find out his first name really was Barack.
Just don't ask about his middle name!
But Obama was able to set a record... he actually lied more in 60 days than Bill Clinton.
As far as his administration -- what with the tax cheat and lobbyists -- well, in the words of Patches O'Houlihan, "It's like watching a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob out there."

With all due respect.

I've found that if you add "with all due respect" to the end, any insult is okay.

Nice pigs!


This one never gets old.

Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House: he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm. The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says: "nice pigs, sir."

The President replies "These are not pigs these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Senator Hillary Clinton and I got one for the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi."

The Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and says, "Excellent trade, sir."

Hamas likes us... they really, really like us!


News ticker lunacy brought to you by the useful idiots at MSNBC (hat tip: Allahpundit).

A cataclysmic series of events, which have been linked directly to global warming


All over the world, a bizarre series of events occurred last week.

In Atlanta, a cat shivered during a strange snow storm.

A doghouse flooded in Missouri.

A long crack suddenly appeared in a glacier.

Elvis' grave was covered with a thin coat of ice.

In New York, a taxi driver fried an egg on his car.

A BMW's radiator overheated on a highway in Iowa.

In Beijing, China, the worst pollution on the planet killed a few more people.

In Hollywood, a constipated Michael Moore passed gas during an interview.

Kids were swinging in a park on a beautiful clear day in Baghdad.

On a quiet creek in West Virginia, an entire family of beavers mysteriously disappeared.

What's it all mean?

Al Gore is bloviating somewhere about a multi-billion dollar UN scam that used to be called "global warming", but has since been renamed "climate change" after a series of embarrassing deep freezes.

Power Line's John Hinderaker writes, "...the public is beginning to catch on to the cosmic scam that Al Gore, James Hansen and others--mostly not scientists--have been perpetrating. Meanwhile, the Obama administration, seemingly determined to inflict the maximum possible damage on the economy in the shortest time, is trying to ram a cap-and-trade carbon tax through Congress before opposition can be mobilized. It's easier to do that, of course, when you know that Congressmen won't read the statute before they vote on it. So our only hope is an informed citizenry."

Be warned. The scammers are coming for more of your money.


La Delgada Línea Azul


Earlier this month, undercover Houston cop Richard Salter and two fellow officers cautiously approached a tiny, battered east end house.

An informant had warned police that the East Avenue home was used for drug trafficking.

What they did not know is that an armed man, Wilfido Joel Alfaro, lay in wait.

Alfaro was watching a 50-inch flat screen -- part of a sophisticated security system that had cost as much as the house itself -- while police officers approached. He saw their every move.

Salter and two other officers were there to serve a drug warrant in the 9300 block. They loudly announced themselves while taking down the burglar bars.

Without warning, Salter was shot in the face after stepping through the doorway.

Alfaro was gunned down by police officers after Salter had been hit.

An illegal alien, Alfaro had been arrested five times for possession or delivery of drugs – including three times after an immigration judge granted him “voluntary departure” in March 2001.

Alfaro had left the country after serving time on the first felony drug charge. Alfaro was arrested again in 2002 in Pearland, and again in 2003 on a drug charge in Angleton, according to authorities.

Why wasn't Alfaro's status as a repeat offender and illegal alien available to Salter before serving the warrant?

Because Houston's mayor and police chief, Bill White and Harold Hurtt, refuse to participate in the federal 287(G) program that allows the law enforcement and immigration enforcement communities to share information.

The Houston Chronicle reports that White and Hurtt continually kowtowed to special interests and helped reinforce the policies that solidified Houston's reputation as a "Sanctuary City".

Last year, HPD jailers detained for immigration officials less than 1 percent of the 58,774 suspects booked... [in an email from] Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt to White ... reported “several thousand” illegal immigrants eligible for deportation had passed through the city’s lockups.

Police officials who requested anonymity told the Chronicle that an immigrant with a criminal history similar to the Salvadoran man who shot Officer Richard Salter might today be able to slip through the cracks if he was picked up by HPD on a minor offense.

Other officials express frustration and anger for the failure of White and Hurtt to adopt the federal 287(G) program that allows sharing of law enforcement and immigration information. A city council member said, "My constituents and citizens across the area are screaming out for illegal immigrants to be dealt with, and especially those who commit crimes."

After the Salter shooting this month, a police union official asked, "I don’t know... how many people have to be killed before we stand up and do our part?"

The union official had a point. In 2006, the murder of Houston Police Officer Rodney Johnson by an illegal immigrant was basically ignored by White and Hurtt. According to KHOU 11 News, a week later White claimed that "high-level meetings" would occur and that "procedures would be reviewed". In effect, it appears nothing happened.

And just days ago in Corpus Christi, 20-year veteran of the force, police officer Stuart Jay Alexander was killed by a reported member of the gang MS-13.

* * *

Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, says enforcement of immigration laws in the United States is "un-American."

Pelosi failed to specify which laws she feels are worth enforcing.

And Pelosi says men and women like Officer Salter, who risk their lives to protect American citizens from drug gangs run by illegal immigrants, are thugs.

Pelosi and the rest of the open-border Democrats should publicly apologize to the families of all fallen officers, starting with the family of Officer Rick Salter.

For it is the Democrats' open border policies that put our police officers -- and all of us -- at risk.

Because if these scumbags go after police officers, there are truly no limits.

Just say no to the open-borders policies of the Democrats. Just say no to the disgusting treatment of our men and women in blue.

Apologize, Nancy Pelosi. Apologize. And start protecting our police officers and our citizens as is your Constitutional duty. Or just resign.

* * *

Please consider donating to the family of critically wounded Officer Rick Salter, a 27-year veteran of the Houston Police Department who is married with two children. Any amount, large or small, is appreciated.
