In a move that only people in the U.N. and the Obama Administration could see as reasonable, the United Nations elected IRAN to a U.N. Commission on Women’s Rights. You can’t make this stuff up!

From FoxNews.com:

Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”

Just days after Iran abandoned a high-profile bid for a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, it began a covert campaign to claim a seat on the Commission on the Status of Women, which is “dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women,” according to its website.

Buried 2,000 words deep in a U.N. press release distributed Wednesday on the filling of “vacancies in subsidiary bodies,” was the stark announcement: Iran, along with representatives from 10 other nations, was “elected by acclamation,” meaning that no open vote was requested or required by any member states — including the United States.

MMM, can you smell the appeasement? But that’s a topic for another day. Today I would like to list the top 6 other appointments to various UN Commissions that make as much sense as marrying Iran to women’s rights.

1. Kathy Griffin was elected to the U.N. Commission on Funny.
2. Amy Winehouse was added to the U.N. Commission on How to not Look or Act Like a Crack Whore.
3. KFC was named to the UN Commission on Making Sandwich Awesomeness.
4. Kate Gosselin was elected Chairwoman to the U.N.’s: How To Not Make People Roll Their Eyes When They Hear Your Name… Commission.
5. NBC was named to the U.N. Commission on How Not to F#$% Up Late Night Television.
6. Speaking of NBC, Saturday Night Live sucks.(Yes. That’s number 6.)

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gave a speech in Eugene, Oregon Friday. A protester outside that event hopes she chokes.

Awe, how sweet. This was what that whole “hopey changey” thing is all about.

That peace and love liberal protester should write Hallmark cards. Oh wait, Hallmark is an evil corporation that tries to profit from (insert liberal tripe about corporate America here).

Wait, I thought the tea party people are the merchants of hate? I thought the right had a “hate monopoly.”

Aren’t  liberals the open minded, tolerant folks?

Note to liberals: Many of YOU are driven by hate, it sustains you. It’s Okay, hate is a human emotion. Just stop acting like you are above all that political hate yo…

Duane Lester at AllAmericanBlogger.com recently wrote an article over at Pajamas Media analyzing President Obama’s speech that mocked opponents of ObamaCare. The Obama Administration’s mockery of concerned Americans is all part of the Alinsky playbook. The following is part of Duane’s post, plus his video response to President Obama’s stand-up comedy act.

From Pajamas Media.

Those are the words of the granddaddy of community organizers, Saul Alinsky. In his book Rules for Radicals, Alinsky wrote: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”

On this, he’s right. Ridicule is a very potent weapon. In his book Fighting the War of Ideas like Real War: Messages to Defeat the Terrorists, J. Michael Waller explains why ridicule is such an effective weapon against one’s enemies:

• It sticks;
• The target can’t refute it;
• It is almost impossible to repress;
• It spreads on its own and multiplies with each re-telling;
• It boosts morale at home;
• Our enemy shows far greater intolerance to ridicule than we;
• Ridicule divides the enemy, damages its morale, and makes it less attractive to supporters and prospective recruits; and
• The ridicule-armed warrior need not fix a physical sight on the target. Ridicule will find its own way to the targeted individual. To the enemy, being ridiculed means losing respect. It means losing influence. It means losing followers and repelling potential new backers.

Imagine if Balki arrived in America today, instead of 1986. As you may recall, Balki was an immigrant from a fictional Mediterranean island named Mypos. After finding out that it takes years to get into this country legally, Balki decides to sneak over the border from Mexico.

Balki wants to meet up with his cousin Larry in Chicago. Inspired by Speaker Pelosi’s ObamaCare statement that people could quit their jobs that provide them health insurance to become a painter-or any other job that allows one to smoke pot all day-Larry became a photographer.

Balki is thrilled to meet up with his cousin in Chicago. But on the way to a poetry slam at a coffeehouse, Balki sprained his ankle. Luckily, he went to an emergency room at the local hospital and got it taken care of-free of charge! Way to go Balki!

Balki is a shepherd by trade, and shepherd jobs are hard to come by. No worries for Balkie though, ACORN just hired him to register voters in Chicago. This week alone he got 6000 people to register as democrats-many of these new voters are currently alive and a majority of them are NOT house pets.

Larry doesn’t have health insurance yet, but he did score some medical marijuana. With Balkie signing up dead people to vote-and Larry developing black and white photos he took of a model peeing on a crucifix, they are both living the American dream.

Sha Laa La Laa…

A massive fireball was spotted across several states in the Midwest Wednesday night.

From CNN:

(CNN) — Authorities in several Midwestern states were flooded Wednesday night with reports of a gigantic fireball lighting up the sky, the National Weather Service said.

The fireball was visible for about 15 minutes beginning about 10 p.m., said the National Weather Service in Sullivan, Wisconsin, just west of Milwaukee.

“The fireball was seen over the northern sky, moving from west to east,” said the NWS in the Quad Cities area, which includes parts of Iowa and Illinois.

“Well before it reached the horizon, it broke up into smaller pieces and was lost from sight,” the service said. “Several reports of a prolonged sonic boom were received from areas north of Highway 20, along with shaking of homes, trees and various other objects including wind chimes,” it said.

There are several possible explanations for this fireball: I have come up with six.

1) The fire was the end result of an Oprah chili burp.

2) It was Paula Abdul’s career, never to be seen again.

3) The fireball was brought on by the awesomeness of KFC’s new Double Down sandwich.

4) The light in the sky was actually just Billy Mays trying to communicate with us.

5) Rahm Emanuel’s swear jar exploded.

6) Nancy Pelosi’s Aqua Net soaked hair got too close to President Obama’s cigarette…

All this week, FTR Radio will air a series of wrap-up shows following last week’s Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans. Paul Croteau-host of The Loud Talker- will present interviews he conducted at SRLC, daily at 2pm & 6PM EDT.

This may just be the best thing ever invented. I will let the KFC website give you the skinny on this sandwich.

The new KFC Double Down sandwich is real! This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun! » Watch the TV Commercial

The Double Down comes in two versions – Original Recipe® or Grilled and the nutrition information is below.

Sandwich	Calories	Fat (g)	Sodium (mg)
KFC Original Recipe® Double Down	540	32	1380
KFC Grilled Double Down	460	23	1430

If you buy the grilled version of this sandwich you are a filthy communist. There I said it, Comrade.

If I had 6 of these sandwiches, a case of Guinness and my Google Droid I am quite sure that I can last 2 weeks in solitary confinement. 

This sandwich backs up my theory that one day KFC will rule the world. It will make both major political parties in the United States bow to the Colonel. It will bring the UN to its knees. Nothing can stop the Double Down, not even ObamaCare.

Nobody puts Double Down in the corner…

A staffer for Governor Bobby Jindal and her boyfriend were brutally attacked after leaving a Republican fundraiser during the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans on Friday. Why?

From Gateway Pundit, via Free Republic:

The governor’s office said Monday that Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and fractured nose and jaw in the alleged incident. (KSLA) A Republican activist and her boyfriend were savagely beaten in New Orleans on Friday for wearing Sarah Palin pins. Free Republic reported:

Allee Bautsch, chief campaign fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and her boyfriend Joe Brown, were savagely beaten Friday night in New Orleans after leaving a Republican party fundraising dinner by a group of thugs who reportedly targeted the couple because they were wearing Sarah Palin pins.

Bautsch’s leg was broken and Brown incurred a broken jaw and nose as well as a concussion.

The Hayride reports that a source who visited Bautsch at the hospital the day after the attack says they were told the couple was attacked for wearing Palin buttons:

Two people at the Brennan’s event have now confirmed that the protest had largely broken up by the time it ended, but we also understand from someone who visited Allee Bautsch in the hospital Saturday morning that she and Brown were followed and attacked expressly because they had Palin pins on (she heard one of the attackers say “Let’s get them, they have Palin pins on”)– so the attack WAS politically motivated as its victims understood it. It was not a mugging, it was not an argument gone wrong and it was not a bar fight.

The story of a Republican and her boyfriend being viciously attacked for wearing Palin buttons has yet to make national headlines, unlike say, unfounded rumors of nasty words being said by Tea Party protesters.

Violence and hate are unacceptable from any side of the political spectrum. If that was the motivation for the attack, I have some questions:

Who was responsible for this attack?

Was it the SEIU?

Was it a bunch of drunk college kids who are majoring in anthropology?

Was it David Schuster?

Will every liberal democrat now have to rebuke the SEIU and other left wing organizations due to the hate and violence that these groups are known to spew?

Will Congressman John King and other lefties denounce violence and hate speech from the left?

Will the mainstream media show concern for the real violence from libs, or will it continue to concentrate on “tea party hate.”

I will wait patiently for answers to my questions. I expect to get them when hell freezes over.

UPDATE!!! 

There was a reason why I put question marks after the title of this post, and why I wrote:

“Violence and hate are unacceptable from any side of the political spectrum. If that was the motivation for the attack, I have some questions:”

Unlike the mainstream media, I do not go out of my may to deceive people. It appears that the Palin pin part of the story is just a rumor.

From Michelle Malkin:

From Gov. Jindal’s office, via The Baton Rouge Advocate:

“While there were protestors around at that time, we are not aware of any evidence that the individuals involved in the altercation were protestors,” Plotkin said in a statement.

Plotkin said the New Orleans Police Department is investigating.

“We are refraining from further comment to allow them to fully investigate and ensure justice is done,” [Jindal press secretary Kyle] Plotkin said.

Update 3:15pm Eastern: I just heard from Mr. Plotkin that Bautsch and her boyfriend were NOT wearing Palin pins.
