An employee of New Mexico’s “State Land Office” is facing reprimand for sending a scurrilous office e-mail sliming Barry Hussein’s obvious Muslim heritage. It was sent from the e-mail account of John Maes, the office’s “royalty revenue accountant.” Anyone else smell a Tory plot at play? Burn his children! MORE »

While the prohibition on black presidents has been (temporarily) repealed, presidents have not been allowed to be smokers for nearly half a century — JFK learned the hard way in Dallas, one of the earliest fanatical non-smoking cities. MORE »

The problem with Joe Biden’s “candidacy” is that he’s announced so many times that he needs new gimmicks each week to remind a sleepy nation that he’s still running for president. This week’s tactic: Give a freewheeling (drunken) interview with the NY Observer with a disparaging remark about Barry Obama that could be construed as sort of racist by people who otherwise could give a damn about such things — namely, Drudge Report readers.

Dumb details, after the jump.

Haunting new revelations show that Barry Obama secretly attended a madrassa in Los Angeles, the so-called “Occidental” (which means Middle Eastern Muslim) College in the eastside neighborhood of Eagle Rock. Occidental is a perfectly respectable liberal-arts college with a real pretty campus, actually, and Obama went there for two years before transferring to Columbia. But for some reason, the college doesn’t show up on his official biography. Why the secret shame? MORE »

One of the many benefits of 9/11 is suddenly everybody knew the definition of madrassa: some kind of primitive Islamic boys school in Pakistan where the glassy-eyed kids chanted the Koran for a Dateline producer and none of the 9/11 hijackers were involved because they were doing blow and screwing strippers in Florida and Las Vegas.

Learn the explosive truth about Osama bin Obama’s radical indoctrination made-up story created by either the Moonies or Hillary or both, after the jump.

Sure, the hippies are all upset by the New York Post’s supposedly racialist headline atop the AP Bill Richardson news brief. But think of all the wacky and totally unoffensive headlines the tabloid can use as the other hundred candidates make it officially official for real: MORE »

It’s time for substance! The days of entire articles about Barack Hussein Obama not being a big fat old slob are over. But there’s still not much to say about the junior senator, so the Chicago Sun-Times is now publishing pornographic stalker essays about his wife:

Michelle has since grown into a 5-foot-11, sleek and striking woman who enjoys a good 4:30 a.m. workout. When she raised her arm to wave to an adoring 2004 Democratic convention crowd, she revealed just a whisper of bare, taut midriff.

Jesus! Maybe the Sun-Times and Mrs. Obama’s midriff should get a room. MORE »
