Way to blow the Olympics, Mr. President!

So, I keep hearing that Rio being chosen over Chicago as the host for the 2016 Olympics is tantamount to the world's rejection of Barack Obama.

Rio chosen over Chicago, hmmm. . .

Yes, clearly this is a repudiation of president Obama, what other reason could there be for the memebers of the IOC to choose Rio

over Chicago?




Hmmm. . . What does Rio have





















that Chicago doesn't?

















Tough call!






Chicago. . .


















. . .Rio



















Famous Chicagoan. . .
















. . . famous Rioan




















Chicago's main export . . .



















. . . Rio's main export.
















yeah, it's a puzzle all right. I guess there's no one to blame but President Obama. Way to go, Mr. President! You blew it!

Who's Stupider? Round 2

Our First contestant comes to us from the State of Minnesota where she enjoys paranoid delusions and looking foolish on CSPAN. Please welcome Michele Bachmann!

Ms Bachmann was recently given the opportunity to question Fed chairman Ben Bernanke. What subject did she choose on which to question the man most responsible for our nation's economy?

You guessed it, ACORN!




Our next contestant hails from Macon, Ga where he is actually, honest to God, a member of the city council. In his spare time, he enjoys running the world's dumbest website. Put your hands together for Erick Erickson.

Mr. Erickson was unhappy that the underpaid, overworked police force in Macon might try to form a union to address their situation. His solution? Why, abolish the police department, of course.

No, really!

"I’m thinking I’ll have the City Attorney draft me legislation to dissolve the police department and contract with the Sheriff to provide public safety services," Erickson wrote on the blog Peach Pundit.

Boy, it looks like we have a tie. Time for the lightning round.

Erick, go!

If Barack Obama cannot convince the IOC to give Chicago the Olympics, how is he going to convince Iran to give up its nukes?

Great start! Can you top that Michele?

"Little children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal and natural and perhaps they should try it."

Ooh! Well played! Erick?

I think Media Matters hopes someone goes after the President because then they will get to cheerlead a rounding up of conservative pundits they think are harmful to the advance of socialism.

Wow! Stupid, paranoid AND assholish! The trifecta! Michele, can you answer this challenge?

"Literally, if we took away the minimum wage—if conceivably it was gone—we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."

Okay, that was stupid and assholish, but I'm not feeling any of your usual paranoia. Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner! Erick Erickson is the new Who's Stupider champion!

Glenn Beck Finally Does Some Good

Glenn Beck Encourages His Listeners Not to Get Swine Flu Vaccinations

So, if this works out, there's a chance that there will be fewer Glenn Beck listeners. And the world will be a slightly saner place.

NOW?

Today in the Atlanta Journal constitution I see this:

FACT CHECK: Some Obama health care stories flawed

By CALVIN WOODWARD

The Associated Press

One of President Barack Obama's health care "horror stories" is about a woman who, he says, lost her health insurance on the verge of breast cancer surgery because she didn't disclose a case of acne to the insurer. That's not what happened. . . .

. . . Beaton did not lose her insurance because she failed to own up to a skin problem in her past. She lost it because, when enrolling in the plan, she had not reported a previous heart condition and did not list her weight accurately.

So where the hell was the "fact check" the last eight years? " Sadam has weapons of mass destruction," nope no need to verify that!

"We do not torture" hmm, that sounds probably true.

"We aren't wiretapping everyone's phone," well, that fact certainly doesn't need any checking!

But NOW? Hey, the president might have one part of this story incorrect! God Damn it, get me a fact checker! If the President thinks he can just go around citing the wrong pre-existing condition, well he sure didn't count on the ever-vigilant press!

Pathetic!
