Amid concerns that the national debt may be spiraling out of control, Biden calmed fears in a statement that he has a plan to pay off the debt by capturing a leprechaun and stealing all his gold. "Don't worry folks-- it's gonna be fine!" said Biden. "I saw a rainbow this morning when my sprinklers went off. You know what's at the end of a rainbow, don't you? I'm gonna get me some of that leprechaun gold and pay off the debt-- just like that!" Economist Paul Krugman praised the idea as "sound" even though it's never been proven to...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Local leprechaun, pot o' gold enthusiast, and all-around jokester Leery O'Canahan had been excited for St. Patrick's Day for months. "It's like our Super Bowl," O'Canahan told reporters. "Without the weird halftime shows." But this year it's not all drinking and shenanigans for this leprechaun. He'd entrusted all his pots of gold to Silicon Valley Bank after the investment strategy was recommended to him by Jim Cramer on Mad Money. As his deposits were worth far more than the FDIC-insured $250,000, it's now unclear if he'll ever get his money back. "It seemed like a sure...

An Aberdeen man has been fined after branding his ex partner’s new boyfriend a “leprechaun” in a threatening email. Terry Myers, 41, appeared in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court over the email, which made reference to the woman’s new partner being Irish and threatened to assault him. Fiscal depute Susan Love said Myers had previously been in a relationship with the woman, but that they were no longer together and she had a new partner. She told the court during Saturday morning the woman received an email from Myers in which “he made various threats to assault her new...

Mickey Kaus resigned from The Daily Caller after its editor, Tucker Carlson, pulled down a column he wrote critical of Fox News. Who is Mickey Kaus? He is a liberal, who has written for Newsweek, The Washington Monthly, and used to blog at Salon under the title "Kausfiles." In 2004, he expressed dissatisfaction with John Kerry, but still endorsed him and contributed to his campaign. Amazingly, despite being a graduate of Harvard and Harvard Law School, he seems to have avoided having every molecule of common sense wrung out of him, as evidenced by the reporting he has done on...

Axelrod’s Wish: On page 424 of his recent memoir, Obama’s former top strategist David Axelrod describes running into Fox chieftain (and immigration amnesty supporter) Rupert Murdoch at a dinner in the fall of 2010: During the dinner, Murdoch, who was seated beside me, insisted that the president had to move on immigration reform. …. “But the solution has to be comprehensive,” I said. “We can’t just attack a piece of the immigration problem. And you know, there’s one big thing that you can do to help, and that is to keep your cable network from stoking the nativism that keeps...

Bill O’Reilly’s ‘Lincoln’ Book Banned From Ford’s Theatre Because Of ‘Mistakes’ By Steven Levingston November 12 Of all the places you’d expect to find Bill O’Reilly’s new history “Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever,” Ford’s Theatre — the site of the dreadful act — should rank right at the top. But you’d do better to search for the bestseller on Amazon because it has been banned from the theater’s store. The crime? O’Reilly and his co-author Martin Dugard have displayed a serial disregard for historical fact. For a purported history of the assassination — an “unsanitized and...

GALLATIN, Tenn. (AP) -- Two bank robbery suspects, including one dressed in a green leprechaun costume, were shot dead after a St. Patrick's Day chase and shootout with police in Tennessee, authorities said. First State Bank in the Nashville suburb of Gallatin was held up by a man who wore a green costume and carried a large-caliber gun at 12:28 p.m. Wednesday, said Sgt. Bill Storment, a spokesman for the Gallatin Police Department. Sharon Riehemann (REE'-muhn), manager of the Fifth Third Bank next door, said the costumed man - wearing a green top hat, vest and shorts and a fake...

CINCINNATI -- A man was caught Tuesday morning inside a car with his pants down. Police said Kim Leblanc broke into a parked car overnight on Central Parkway, and the owner found him asleep inside and called police. Officers said Leblanc was not wearing any pants when they arrived. Investigators said Leblanc told them he had done drugs and believed that a leprechaun had let him into the car. Leblanc remains in police custody on a variety of charges.

The Honorable Harold Ford, Jr. Chairman Democratic Leadership Council 600 Pennsylvania Ave., SE, Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20003 Dear Rep. Ford, I appeared with you on the O’Reilly Factor on July 31, 2007, in my capacity as spokesman for FreeRepublic.com to discuss politics on the Internet. The host, Bill O’Reilly, falsely accused FreeRepublic.com of having the following comments on its site: "Homosexuals are dogs," "I hate blacks," "Hillary Clinton should be assassinated," and "A stray bullet should kill her." To be blunt, those comments were made up by the O’Reilly Factor. The O’Reilly Factor was not able to provide documentation...

Speeding drivers in Orange County today may spot a leprechaun dancing on the side of the road but instead of finding his lucky pot of gold, expect to find a hefty speeding ticket. Deputy Richard Lockman of the Orange County Sheriff's Office has stopped more than 50 drivers who were exceeding the speed limit, which is 45 mph in the area of University Boulevard west of State Road 417. The fastest driver stopped so far was going 72 mph. "We've given about 1 ticket every minute since 8:00 this morning," said Lockman, who, in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day,...

A new and free online game, described as “…a fun time-waster for the beloved, beer-drinking holiday, St. Patrick’s Day,” looks to be geared towards developing good hand/eye coordination. At least that’s my assumption since the game “challenges players to control their urine stream in order to pee on leprechauns and avoid other bar patrons. With green beer consumption as ammunition, players are taunted by the leprechauns as they whiz by.”

         We celebrate Saint Patrick's Day each year on March 17th. The festive holiday has everyone wearing green (so they don't get pinched) and chatting of four leaf clovers, shamrocks, lucky leprechauns, drinking green beer and kissing some big rock called a blarney stone.  Want to be lucky this St. Patrick's Day? Follow this advice:    1. Find a four-leaf clover. 2. Wear green (so you don't get pinched). 3. Kiss the blarney stone. 4. Catch a Leprechaun if you can. 5. Drink as much green beer as your heart desires.    6. And don't forget that corned...

Wayne Allard's participation considered a huge slap in face to city council which is allowing a Christmas tree display but not a menorah The Ft. Collins city council in Colorado has voted against inclusion of Hanukkah menorahs in municipality holiday displays throughout the city but will include Christmas trees as they are considered a secular symbol. The council has decided to only incorporate non-denominational décor for the holiday festivities. Although the US Supreme Court has ruled the Hanukkah menorah can be used as a secular object in such settings, Chabad's unofficial website Shturem reported that the city council insists that...

Two blonde gals. I think ones name is Karen Marsh...worked on the Kerry campaign. The other was that platinum short haired blonde with the snarkly grin. I couldn't believe my eyes or my ears. Anyone see this?

In these last days, the Bible says it will be a time of mass hybridization and the mixture and corruption of human DNA by fallen angels, also known as "Aliens." The government is and has been, conditioning the existence of aliens through Hollywood, science fiction, cartoons, and other sources. However, they are not telling you the whole truth. These Aliens are not ascended masters, or enlightened ones, or beings from galaxies millions of miles away, nor are they our forefathers or original creators. They are fallen angels who were kicked out of heaven for their rebellion against the headship...

...Gauging the animus against O'Reilly has always been a rough art, but by his own estimation "it's gotten worse. Now it's so bad that I spend an enormous amount of money protecting myself against evil."...the embattled life of O'Reilly has become an increasingly strange and scary one. As O'Reilly puts it, here are the facts: There are death threats. He has to hire bodyguards. He can't check into hotels with his family. People on the street with cell phones are stealth paparazzi, capable of snagging a picture one minute, then posting it on the Web the next. He adds that...

On the Radio Factor today, Bill O'Reilly didn't spare anyone - except maybe the NO mayor. He says Gov Blanco was unprepared, Bush was slow, and Chertoff was a disaster and must be canned.

Apparently tired of searching for the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, a leprechaun robbed a Butte laundry of $322 on the eve of St. Patrick's Day. The robber — wearing a fake black beard, mustache, black plastic derby hat and green kilt, according to police dispatch reports — flashed a gun a clerk at the Front Street Laundromat, 1000 E. Front St., around 11 p.m. Wednesday. ‘‘It is Butte,'' said laundry owner Don Heffington. ‘‘Butte gets pretty crazy on St. Patrick's Day, and it was probably someone who needed a little bit more money for stimulants.''...
