“The only surviving Somali pirate has arrived in New York, and judging by the footage, he's got the biggest smile we've seen this side of Susan Boyle after she finished singing .... Isn't this essentially importing criminals to our prison system? What, is this some obscure, previously unrevealed detail in Obama's immigration policy?”
Any bets he’ll be voting in the 2012 election?

SPENDING CUTS? WHAT SPENDING CUTS?
President Obama convened his first official Cabinet meeting yesterday. At the session, Obama ordered his agency heads to identify and shave a collective $100 million in administrative costs from federal programs in a budget of well over $3 trillion.
The Heritage Foundation responds: “Just how laughable is Obama’s latest stunt to try to maintain his “fiscal responsibility” credentials? This graphic might help:”

Even Paul Krugman of the New York Times is having trouble with the latest “budget cut.”
And the media wonders why there were some 500 tea parties on April 15?

Don Surber has fun with the news:
[ABC White House correspondent Jake] Tapper to White House [Press Secretary] spokesbot Robert Gibbs: “You were talking about an appropriations bill a few weeks ago about $8 billion being minuscule — $8 billion in earmarks. We were talking about that and you said that that $100 million is a lot but $8 billion is small?”

Even Paul Krugman of the New York Times is having trouble with the latest “budget cut.”
“[P]retty soon, even here in Washington, it adds up to real money,” says the president.
Except, you know, really it doesn’t. Let’s say the administration finds $100 million in efficiencies every working day for the rest of the Obama administration’s first term. That’s still around $80 billion, or around 2% of one year’s federal spending.
And the media wonders why there were some 500 tea parties on April 15?
LAWS ARE FOR LITTLE PEOPLE, CONTINUING
Via Instapundit:
So where are they now living?
The news article is here.
It was their dream home, a two-story, four-bedroom colonial in one of Detroit’s nicest and most stable neighborhoods.
But then, one day in December, City Councilman Kwame Kenyatta and his wife packed up their belongings, locked the doors, mailed in the keys and walked away - adding another vacant house to the thousands in a city hard hit by the nation’s mortgage crisis.
So where are they now living?
About five months ago, the Kenyattas moved to a rented condo on the city's east side. It has three bedrooms, four baths, a whirlpool bath, finished basement and garage.

VIEW FROM MY (OFFICE) WINDOW
Well, actually from the parking garage.
Luckily, my office is on the other side of the building from the construction, so the pile drivers aren’t audible.
For construction updates, go here. A new photo is taken every 15 minutes, every day since last February.

ISN’T THE LEFT SUPPOSED TO BE TOLERANT?
They can talk it; they can’t walk it.
Tolerance - it’s not for just anyone.
Former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, who is now the director of the Miss California USA pageant ... and her business partner, Keith Lewis, a strong activist against Proposition 8, were so infuriated over [Miss California Carrie] Prejean’s answer to Perez Hilton’s gay marriage question during Sunday’s crowning, they refused to make contact with the San Diego native after the show.
When asked by judge Perez Hilton, an openly gay gossip blogger, whether she believed in gay marriage, Miss California said "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."
“Prejean, a student at San Diego Christian College, is studying to become a special education teacher and spends her spare time volunteering for the Best Buddies non profit organization, a program that helps people with disabilities. Prejean is also a volunteer for the Special Olympics.”
Tolerance - it’s not for just anyone.
CRIMES AREN’T CRIMES
Unless they’re not politically correct.
Speaking of immigration violations [Homeland Security head] Janet Napolitano said “And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil.”
Um, Janet, “In fact, pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1325, crossing the border illegally is a crime–a misdemeanor for the first offense and a felony for the second and subsequent offenses. But of course, ignoring or mischaracterizing the law is a very convenient way for those in power to avoid the laws they find most inconvenient.”

HMM ...
The FBI adds its first domestic terrorist to its Most Wanted list -- an animal rights activist.
The Department of Homeland Security is terrified of “right wing extremists.”
Do these people even talk to each other?
