Hilarious news items from the future such as Hillary Captured and Barack Claims To Be Lost Imam fill the future news section of the game that this article reviews. With real T.V. Interviews and Radio clips of the founders, one by Breitbart TV, the man who exposed ACORN, the game is decidedly anti-Obama and anti-government and was created by a combination of Liberty loving Ron Paul Supporters and Conservatives.

. . .being Southern Californians, we can't decide whether these predictions represent a utopian or dystopian view of the shape of things to come . . . 2 After becoming America's most beloved and powerful talk-show host since Oprah Winfrey, whom she replaced, one-woman conglomerate Sarah Palin announces she will be leaving her syndicated afternoon TV program, "Sarah!" to spend more time working out a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia . During her reign as the so-called Queen of All Media, Palin had used her talk show's bully pulpit to assemble a $1-billion empire in publishing, book-of-the-month clubs and...

Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol as an indictment of nineteenth century industrialization and economic social classes. The following is a modern take on the tale exploring a different issue. The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently, approached. When it came near him, Scrooge bent down upon his knee; for in the very air through which this Spirit moved it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery. It was shrouded in a deep black garment, which concealed its head, its face, its form, and left nothing of it visible save one outstretched hand. But for this it would have been difficult to detach...

For his first lie in office, Obama said he'd be A model of transparency. On his second day in office, Obama let us see Two brand-new czars And no sign of that transparency. For his third lie in office, Obama said, "Trust me, Three million jobs," Dozens of czars, But no sign of that transparency For his fourth gaffe in office, he made apology To all the world, But no new jobs, To many czars, And no hint of that transparency After five weeks in office, the trend was plain to see: Five dates with wife, Insults to the Queen...

Three years after deciding to start production, the Russian Air Force received the first two production models of the Su-34 fighter-bomber. The original plan was to put 24 aircraft into service by 2010. It was hoped that they would eventually be able to buy a hundred. Apparently one goal of undertaking serial production was to encourage foreign purchases. No luck there yet. The 45 ton Su-34 is a replacement for the 43 ton Su-24 bomber, which is beginning to show its age (over twenty years). There are 300 Su-24s on the books, but most of these are not fit for...

Dear Friends And Far-Flung Family, What a year of “hope and change” it has been. Just one year ago we had a president whose approval rating was below 50 percent, health care reform was politically unpopular and it looked like the war in Afghanistan would go on forever. Just look how far we’ve come! Sasha and Malia love living in the White House. It’s even better now that they have their new friend in the White House, too. He’s cute, he’s dopey, he’s always making messes for us to clean up, but what can you say? He’s the vice president,...

Guy goes into a bar, there's a robot bartender. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini." The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "168". The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology. The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says," What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini". Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100."...

Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol as an indictment of nineteenth century industrialization and economic social classes. The following is a modern take on the tale exploring a different issue. Awaking in the middle of a prodigiously tough snore, and sitting up in bed to get his thoughts together, Scrooge had no occasion to be told that the bell was again upon the stroke of One. He felt that he was restored to consciousness in the right nick of time, for the especial purpose of holding a conference with the second messenger dispatched to him through Jacob Marley’s intervention. He...

Fred Phelps, the hate-happy pastor of Wesboro Baptist Church, has, rather belatedly, discovered Lady Gaga- and now is calling for a boycott of the hussy's "pretentious prancing." If this weren't so crazy, it would be a masterpiece of absurdist prose: I think we can do no better than to quote the Reverend's press release in its entirety: "Thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed...Will He reserve His anger forever? Will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest." Jer 3:3,5 "Art" and "fashion" are the euphemisms, the guise...

If it has been a while since you were a child waiting for Christmas morning, or whatever time of day the parental green light was given for the opening of presents, you may be a little out of touch with the true magnitude of this event. For most kids, Christmas is a magical time of both gift giving and gift receiving. This holiday event has its own magic that supersedes every other day of the year. While children perceive much more than they are given credit for, they have the tendency to have a somewhat flawed reality of their parents’...

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- To put it as the devout Ned Flanders would, the Vatican's newspaper thinks "The Simpsons" are an okely dokely bunch. L'Osservatore Romano on Tuesday congratulated the show on its 20th anniversary, praising its philosophical leanings as well as its stinging and often irreverent take on religion. Without Homer Simpson and the other yellow-skinned characters "many today wouldn't know how to laugh," said the article titled "Aristotle's Virtues and Homer's Doughnut." The paper credited "The Simpsons" - the longest-running American animated program - with opening up cartoons to an adult audience. The Fox show is based on...

Q. How many Al Gores does it take to change a light bulb? A. None. He’ll warn others of the impending doom if the light bulb isn’t change, but he won’t lift a finger himself. * * * * MAN: If that light bulb goes out, it will get dark in here. AL GORE: If you don’t change that light bulb, the arctic will explode and the moon will eat us. MAN: I’m not sure that’s right. AL GORE: The Science! is settled! MAN: Are you a scientist? AL GORE: In an alternate universe I’m a scientist. MAN: I’m not...

During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly promised a new tone in Washington, an open, fair, and purpose-driven agenda with a bipartisan spirit. Instead, the tone is Washington has not only reached its lowest partisan ebb, perhaps ever, but the ‘legislative process’ under Harry Reid has deteriorated into naked bribery and ideological prostitution. While Mary Landreiu and Blanche Lincoln have showed themselves to be up for purchase, no member of the U.S. Senate has so drastically sold his soul and abandoned his principles as has Nebraska’s Ben Nelson. Throughout the’ health care reform’ process, Nelson had been relatively up-front in...

Just in time for the holiday delay season and the dire traveling weather, new regulations have been issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation to limit how long people can be “trapped” on an airplane on the tarmac. These regulations have been written thanks to the tendency of some airlines to keep people on their planes, waiting to take off, for ludicrous periods of time. In 2007, due to bad weather, I was stuck waiting on the tarmac for takeoff. Fortunately, my wife and I were rather patient, as we were returning from our honeymoon. We had already waited in...

I pointed out on my show last week that health “reform” that gives people more health insurance will only raise health care costs. Insurance itself is the problem. When people don't spend their own money, they don't care what health care costs. One solution is health saving accounts, or HSAs, in which people spend their own money for routine treatment (HSAs provide insurance for catastrophic health problems). Since Whole Foods adopted that policy in 2003, costs haven't risen -- and employees say they are happy with their coverage. The country of Singapore is another success story. Singaporeans have universal healthcare,...

As the president's job performance numbers and ratings on his handling of virtually every domestic issue have fallen below 50 percent, the Democratic base has become demoralized, and Independents have gone from his source of strength to his Achilles Heel, it's time to reflect on why. The conventional wisdom from the White House is those "pesky leftists" -- those bloggers and Vermont Governors and Senators who keep wanting real health reform, real financial reform, immigration reform not preceded by a year or two of raids that leave children without parents, and all the other changes we were supposed to believe...

Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol as an indictment of nineteenth century industrialization and economic social classes. The following is a modern take on the tale exploring a different issue. When Scrooge awoke it was so dark that he could hardly make out where the walls ended and the window began. He was just trying to discern which way was up when he heard the chimes of Marley’s old clock downstairs begin to ring and listened to learn the hour. To his astonishment, the chimes continued to intone, six, seven, eight, all the way to twelve. Yet, how could this...

In a case of David versus Goliath, apparel giant North Face is suing a Missouri teenage college student for trademark infringement. The young entrepreneur is selling gear that parodies the brand, called South Butt. 19-year-old Jimmy Winkelmann started selling a few t-shirts and fleeces in St. Louis pharmacies. Now they're online and he's shipped orders to every state in the country.

Update 9:09AM: As of very recently, NBC Washington has taken DOWN this post in response. Thank you NBC for this first step. We anxiously await your written response as well. Thanks to everyone for your action. As a DC area resident and WV native, I am outraged at the recent insulting and downright offensive “news” article from NBC Washington titled “West Virginia Discovers the Internet“. In this not even remotely humorous piece, Chris Needham mocks WV in over-the-top obnoxious terms for putting all of their vital public records online. In fact, WV is actually one of very few states in...

Like an overmatched offensive lineman haplessly striving to stave off the onslaughts of a Pro Bowl defensive end, Ed Schultz's heroic but unsuccessful struggles with the English language continue. A couple weeks ago, fellow NewsBuster Jack Coleman hilariously documented the way in which Schultz has a penchant for calling others "stupid"—but regularly makes a mash of our mother tongue. On his MSNBC show this evening, Schultz once again fought the good linguistic fight but was in way over his head. This time, his indomitable opponent was the word "emanate." The rascally verb turned up in a HuffPo blog Ed was...

A humble Christmas offering..... Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the House, Things had become putrid, in need of a de-louse. Princess Pelosi perched in her Speaker’s Chair, Gloated over the passage of the reviled Obamacare. Dem Senators invoked the ghost of dear Ted, While visions of fat payoffs danced in their heads. And Barack in the White House, Michelle by his side, Still can’t believe Joe said “you lied”. When out on the Mall there arose such a clatter, Dems everywhere sprang forth to see what was the matter. Away from the prompter Barack flew like a...

The Senate’s dramatic vote on health care reform early Monday morning was a bittersweet moment for those who have been fighting to increase competition and accountability for private health plans. On the one hand, the vote moved the United States a major step closer to joining the company of other affluent democracies and ensuring every American is guaranteed affordable, quality health care. After nearly a century of defeated attempts, we stand on the threshold of historic changes that will provide major new subsidies for health insurance, impose new requirements on insurers and create a new means — the so-called exchanges...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Someone has put a lot of thought into a welcome sign that may surprise you, it's in front of a homeless camp off I-25 in Colorado Springs. Its message, "Welcome to Obamaville, Colorado's fastest growing community." Despite repeated calls no one could answer the question, who put up the sign? To some homeless the sign's message says enough. Mark Limonez, a homeless man living in "tent city", says the sign doesn't make him feel good about trying to get back on his feet. "Guys are trying to work but there's not enough work out there,...

ABC News Z. Byron Wolf reports: The Senate has been in session every day in December and a final health reform vote is set for Christmas Eve. But with the Republicans filibuster of the health reform bill broken and both parties winding down the clock the debate on the Senate floor is getting loopy. Case in point -- Sen. Roland Burris, the Illinois Democrat who was controversially appointed to Barack Obama's Senate seat, set the debate as he sees it to rhyme -- specifically 'The Night Before Christmas' and read it on the Senate floor. It should be noted that...

WASHINGTON - President Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, likes to say that the only thing that is not negotiable is success. The last 48 hours offered a case study in how the president applies that maxim to governing. After weeks of frustrating delays and falling poll numbers, Mr. Obama decided to take what he could get, declare victory and claim momentum on some of the administration’s biggest priorities, even if the details did not always match the lofty vision that underlined them. From Copenhagen to Capitol Hill, the president determined the outer limits of what he could accomplish on...

That Marley was dead there could be no doubt. All the papers carried the news, the coroner had performed a thorough autopsy, and Scrooge himself had identified the body and bore witness at the funeral. Was Scrooge certain in his identification? Of course he was! Scrooge and Marley had been friends for more years than either could remember and both considered the other to be family. In reality, each others’ only friend and the only family either cared to associate with. Marley was a long time politician spending many years at different levels of politics, holding the office of U.S....

I stopped eating pork about eight years ago, after a scientist happened to mention that the animal whose teeth most closely resemble our own is the pig. Unable to shake the image of a perky little pig flashing me a brilliant George Clooney smile, I decided it was easier to forgo the Christmas ham. A couple of years later, I gave up on all mammalian meat, period. I still eat fish and poultry, however and pour eggnog in my coffee. My dietary decisions are arbitrary and inconsistent, and when friends ask why I’m willing to try the duck but not...

The first ever remix music video political ad! California Senator Barbara Boxer has had some notable confrontations over the past year in her duties as head of the Environmental and Public Works Committee in the U.S. Senate. Over the summer she dressed down a general for using the standard military protocol of addresses elected officials (namely "ma'am") Later that summer, Madam Boxer would stir up more controversy by playing the race card against Harry Alford, Chairman of the National Black Chamber of Commerce discussing her massive energy tax scheme known as "Cap & Trade". The Chuck DeVore campaign prides itself...

The best summation of the UN climate circus in Denmark comes from Andrew Bolt of Australia's Herald Sun: "Nothing is real in Copenhagen – not the temperature record, not the predictions, not the agenda, not the 'solution'." Just so. Reuters, for example, carried a moving account of the speech by Ian Fry, lead negotiator for Tuvalu, the beleaguered Pacific island nation soon to be under water because of a planet-devastating combination of your SUV and unsustainable bovine flatulence from Vermont farms.

One good link hijack deserves another. Prank URLs blocked by the Republican party's new-media consultancy on GOP.am now lead to "action pages" that support the GOP. Pranksters riddled a new Republican-branded URL-shortening service this week with unwelcome links juxtaposing the GOP brand with ironic web pages, such as one featuring a sex toy in the likeness of Barack Obama. The pranks forced the party’s web consultant, Political Media, to block certain URLs manually and work on implementing an automatic filtering system.Now the Republicans are hoping to have the last laugh. Political Media recently flipped a switch redirecting the blocked URLs...

When a fellow conservative tried to cheer me up this morning by assuring me that the Senate Democrats' victory on health care was going to be a Pyrrhic one, I realized I didn't remember much about Pyrrhus. I went of course to Wikipedia. That fine reference work defines a Pyrrhic victory as "a victory with devastating cost to the victor." It also provides this quotation from Plutarch's Life of Pyrrhus, describing the aftermath of the battle of Asculum in 279 BCE: "The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that...

Susan Boyle tells of torrid romance with Tiger Woods Amid the stampede of women who have claimed to have had liasons with Tiger Woods, singer Susan Boyle has come forth with her own tale of romancing the golfer. Friends close to Boyle say that she is devastated to learn the she is merely one woman among a virtual harem of partners. "Susan has been very down about realizing she is not the only one, because she felt she really had a connection to Tiger," said an unnamed friend. But Boyle, a singer who attained world prominence with her performance on...

Q: What's the main problem with Barack Obama jokes? A: His followers don't think they're funny and everyone else doesn't think they're jokes. Q: Why does Barack Obama oppose the Second Amendment? A: It stands between him and the First. Q: What's the difference between Rahm Emanuel and a carp? A: One is a scum sucking bottom feeder and the other is a fish. Q: What's the difference between Greta Van Susteren and Barack Obama? A: Greta only talks out of one side of her mouth. Q: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon? A: A fund...

Two years of laborious negotiations (collusion & conniving) on a climate agreement ended (brokdown) Friday with a political deal brokered ( "brokered") by President Barack Obama (America) with China (no President) and other emerging powers (no pres, no country) but denounced by poor (no president) countries because it was (really fubar) nonbinding and set no overall target for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, a leading proponent of strong (collusion & conniving) action to confront global warming, gave the Copenhagen Accord grudging (panic motivated) acceptance but said she had "mixed feelings" about the outcome and called it only...
