Obama: Solyndra will be a testament to my green jobs policy. Solyndra: We're bankrupt, we're closing.

There isn't much more to add.

If, that is, we ignore a few facts. Like....

- Solyndra received over a half-BILLION in stimulus funds.
- Solyndra has never, neither before the federal funds nor after, shown an actual profit.
- Solyndra has declared bankruptcy and so $535 million in taxpayer money is forever lost.
- Solyndra has now laid off all their employees meaning Obama spent half a billion dollars on his green jobs policies and still couldn't keep 1,000 people employed.

**clapping**

This needs to be applauded. I mean, who else could screw up this badly even when trying?

Affirmative action..for the ugly

Should there be affirmative action for the less attractive? A college professor thinks, "yes."

This doesn't interest me as much as the obvious expanse of time the average collegiate employee must have on his hands. I'm thinking new career move for yours truly. A few years of college and boom.

I sit in a room all day pondering ways to create a new class of victims. Affirmative action for the...short? Tall? Left-handed? Straight-haired? Freckled? Lactose intolerant?



Great questions from Megyn. Not great answers from Hamermesh. The industries most notably "bias", if you want to call it that, concerning beauty - Hollywood, modeling, even strip clubs - the professor feels should be exempted. Is there a rash of stunning accountants out there? An onslaught of beautiful executives? Too many pretty drive-through cashiers at the local McDonalds?

Academia: Where thinking shouldn't get in the way of a long career.

Every feminist should be chanting, "Drill, Baby, Drill."

Ask Kinky. He'll tell you.

This is being touted all over the political blogosphere today as the best political endorsement ever.

Oh yes. That's right. A political endorsement that entertains as it informs. Would it happen in my lifetime? Apparently so.

Kinky Friedman, previous challenger against Rick Perry, has wholeheartedly endorsed him with a "Hell, yes!" And that's not even the best part.

It's worth a read. I promise. As a writer, political endorsements, speeches, and answers usually bore me into a rainbow of fruit-flavored psychoses. This actually told me about the man behind the Texas governor title. And I walked away thinking, "Geez, Perry is freakin' cool."

If only Kinky could pen them all. Here are a few quotes the man can cash in at the bank.

I have been quoted as saying that when I die, I am to be cremated, and the ashes are to be thrown in Rick Perry’s hair. Yet, simply put, Rick Perry and I are incapable of resisting each other’s charm. He is not only a good sport, he is a good, kindhearted man, and he once sat in on drums with ZZ Top. A guy like that can’t be all bad.

And then there's this one.

Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for foreplay.

And this one.

The last time I checked, Texas is kicking in a hell of a lot of the U.S. GDP. Unemployment is lower than the vast majority of the other states. Hell, we could probably even find a job for Paul Begala.

And let's not overlook this one.

While Obama is busy putting the hyphen between “anal” and “retentive” Rick will be rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.

It's not long. When you finish, you'll wish he was as verbose as the succinct Joe Biden.

Promises, Promises...

...he knew he'd never keep.

From Poet Paulo. A Sonnet To My Wickedness. (I'm not THAT bad.)

I sing a song of Tara

Oh she of bouncy blond curls

And the laughing eyes

And the dimples so deep

You think you could put your whole fist in them

And you'd kind of like to

Because she'll probably hit you first

When you're not looking

She's mean like that



Nobody really knows her

They think she's sweet

Those curls are deceptive

They lend her an air of innocence

All the better to deceive you

With her country girl charm

Hick-like, one might even say

She even drives a jeep

As any cool country girl should

A deep throaty laugh

This covers over the malevolence

That occasionally bursts forth

Despite her rigid control



Gaze deeply into those lovely blue eyes

Or green. I don't recall

Because I see only

The pools of molten fire

Dancing there

Reflecting the tortured souls

Of those she has left in her wake,



She has her act down well

"I'm a sweet country girl"

"I love my family"

"My dad is the best man I know"

It's all a facade

Cleverly crafted

In some bureau

Where she's a high ranking member

LIke Kevin Costner

In "No Way Out"

Surely she's not that evil

Just for kicks.



At some point she'll drop her cover

Or be activated

Maybe she's actually in charge

Like Dr. Evil

Or Goldfinger

Or the guy who releases the McRib

Only occasionally

I've never had one

But I've heard they're really good.



Be warned, dear reader

Be wary of her charm

The Bible says it's deceptive



I'm reluctant to warn you

With specific examples

That could reveal my identity

I have a family

And she's just mean as hell.

Girls vs Boys

Because on Friday, I just like to laugh. And because this is true. Except in my past experience, forget the rock. It was usually something on fire.



Hey. Love hurts.

Can you tell them apart?

They wanted me to eat high sodium food and die slowly. That was the comment on a blog I had posted. Not here. Another site.

It at least was creative. Sick. But creative.

Here was the gist of their feelings: I disagree with you. I cannot stand for anyone to disagree with me and live. Therefore, you must die. And I shall dance upon your grave when you do while munching on low-salt Wheat Thins.

Do you hope for death to those that disagree? If so, congratulations. You're keeping company with Hitler, Stalin, Mao, every jihadis, and many Hollywood stars. Like this one.



And she is reminding me of this guy.



When it comes to those who love to hate, can you really tell people apart?

Reporter follows President's advice

Guess what happens.

Technology, you job killer you

Efficiency is killing jobs.

President Obama at a town hall meeting at Wyffels Hybrids Inc. seed company, in Atkinson, Illinois:

OBAMA: One of the challenges in terms of rebuilding our economy is – businesses have gotten so efficient, that, uh, when was the last time somebody went to a bank teller? Instead of using an ATM. Or, used a travel agent instead of going online. A lot of jobs out that that used to require people now have become automated.

So true. Automation is killing us. That's why farmers must give up their tractors and combines and go back to the oxen and plow. Bring in the harvest workers!

The internet? Oh, how did we ever survive these last three to four decades of emailing and internet? Then, in 2008, Obama took office and it wasn't his stimulus package that hurt jobs, it wasn't him shutting down oil and gas exploration off the Louisiana coast, it wasn't the increase company cost of ObamaCare, the bailing out of the union pensions, or even printing all that money while borrowing more.

No. It was simply the fact the cost of the Internet had finally come home.

It's destroying us. We have no choice. Time to unplug it. All of it. The internet, the iPad, the iPhone, all the emailing that is bankrupting the US Postal Service. Goodbye Apple. So long Facebook. Your employees will simply have to find other work. I hear our farmers might need some extra hands.

And since Obama is known for being addicted to his blackberry, I have a job creating solution to replace it for him.



Finally, the man has some job creation ideas. Grab the horses, ya'll. Cars need to go, too.
