Apparently there was some butthurt over my comments on global warming last week. I’ll share some real scientific knowledge with you to start the second hour of the podcast. In short, the manmade global warming theory that demands that we give up our SUVs and incandescent light bulbs is pure, unfiltered BS. You can see the flailing now from the Church of Global Warming, as they complain that it’s impossible to get anything done in American democracy and try to scare us by saying that global warming will turn women into prostitutes. Meanwhile, the ban on incandescent light bulbs is harming birds and the cold temperatures are making more people question the conventional wisdom.
Amid revelations that the NSA takes 200 million text messages per day globally, Obama today announced some reforms to the NSA’s spying program that are still ultimately toothless and do very little to protect our civil liberties. Of course, if they were basing these programs off their effectiveness at preventing terrorist attacks (that was the point, wasn’t it?), then he would completely shut them down because no terrorist attacks have been prevented as a result of this program.
Here’s a nice little nugget you may not have known about from Obamacare: it includes a bailout of over $1 trillion over the next decade for insurance companies. Are you still wondering why insurance companies supported it? The law will also hurt doctors and patients and clog up emergency rooms through the expansion of Medicaid, which is exactly the opposite of what we were promised. After we ruin American health care, where will rich Canadians go to get high-quality care?
Medicare overpays for penis pumps. Why is Medicare paying for penis pumps?
Harry Reid asked the Pentagon to research irritable bowel syndrome. Apparently Harry has a problem.
Dianne Feinstein once had a drone flown outside her window by protesters. That seems perfectly fair to me.
Ted Cruz says that Obama’s policies are making income inequality worse. He’s right, as more and more Americans have given up looking for work and the number of able-bodied Americans with no children who are on food stamps has nearly doubled. The United States has also dropped out of the top 10 of the freest economies in the world.
This is what a dictator sounds like.
Rich Chinese people are leaving China.
Apparently we’re supposed to have sympathy for a convicted rapist and murderer who took 15 minutes to die as a result of his lethal injection. I have none.
Mess with the police’s revenue stream, and you get arrested.
The RNC is doing a straw poll with 32 possible 2016 presidential candidates, and most of them suck.
Chris Christie’s tourism ads could be a bigger scandal than Bridgegate. Of course, this all begs the question: Where is the media probing on the IRS scandal, AP scandal, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Obama’s actions during the government shutdown, Solyndra, or any of Obama’s other scandals?
Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein says that he and Meryl Streep are working on a movie that will make the NRA “wish they weren’t alive.” Harvey, the NRA is surviving Obama and kicking some serious ass. I don’t think you’re much of a threat. By the way, read this for a terrifying story that shows why there shouldn’t be a national gun registry. It is far too easy to abuse.
The Democrats’ War on Women continues, with a Massachusetts State Representative being convicted to 6 months in jail for choking and punching a woman who refused to have sex with him.
A New Mexico man who suffered through hours of anal probing after a traffic stop received a $1.6 million settlement. The sad part is that innocent taxpayers have to foot the bill for this.
Pro tip: If you’re being pulled over for driving while on your cell phone, don’t answer the phone in front of the cop who just pulled you over.
The Iranian press has reported that the United States is ruled by a race of tall, white space aliens. I’m waiting for the special on that to hit the History Channel.
A woman in San Jose, California was duped out of $500,000 by a Nigerian online dating scam. First, how does somebody that stupid get a half-million dollars to begin with? People this dumb just baffle me.
Tales from Government Schools: A Kansas middle school put up a poster listing ways that “people express their sexual feelings,” including “anal sex,” “touching each other’s genitals,” and “vaginal intercourse.”
A Virginia Republican Delegate wants to criminalize oral sex. This is why people hate Republicans. On a related note, the founder of GOProud just left the Republican Party over its tolerance of idiots like that.
Car thieves failed to steal a car because they didn’t know how to drive a manual transmission. Yet another example of machines and computers taking skills away from Americans.
Do you hate auto-play videos, especially when you have a bunch of browser tabs open? Google Chrome will now tell you which tab is playing that video.
Apparently your cat just thinks you’re another cat. I’d like to think that my dogs are smarter than this.
A Norwegian bay froze so quickly that fish were frozen in place in the water.
Americans don’t even drink the most of our own whiskey.
This Week’s Sign of the Decline of Western Civilization: A British teenager stabbed his mother and cut off his own penis after taking a drug called “meow meow,” and the British socialized medicine system actually paid to reattach it.
