The Americans who owned the anti-American network Current TV soon will be replaced as owners by foreigners who operate the anti-American network Al Jazeera. I doubt any of the 40,000 regular Current TV viewers would have noticed had the news not gone public. Of course, most of them spend their time writing diaries at the DailyKos, when not being yelled at by their moms to clean their rooms. But the big winner in all this is former Vice-President Al Gore. The private-jet-flying, limo-riding, mansion-heating/air-conditioning bearded Pope of the Holy Church of Global Warming stands to pocket $100 million in dirty oil money from the deal. Unfortunately for him, in spite of his scrambling to do so, he wasn’t able to seal the deal before the end of 2012 and will have to pay the higher tax rates he tried desperately to avoid. Seems like Al Gore is looking to win the Nobel Prize in hypocrisy.More news of the dumb here.
Sadly, the current line-up of Current TV, Jennifer Granholm, Eliot Spitzer, The Young Turks, Joy Behar, etc., are not expected to be retained when the new owners take over. Even terrorists have some standards.

INSTAPUNDIT on gun control: "See, that’s why I make sure the Insta-Wife has plenty of bullets. It’s out of kindness to any home invaders. Because what she’d do to them if she were out of bullets would be worse."
Heh.
Heh.
DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND POSTERS discover that they're rich. Follow the link and read the comments. So many posters. So much dumb.
NO REGULATION? No problem.
Think about it the next time the government wants to help you....
[ADDED] Newt Gingrich weighs in.

IT WAS GETTING TOO CROWDED UNDER THE BUS: Obama throws poor over the fiscal cliff. With the help of the Republicans....
AMERICA: Doomed by Scarcity, Doomed by Plenty, Doomed, Doomed! Or as I like to put it, every silver lining comes wrapped in a cloud of pessimism.
"‘TRUST US, WE’LL PROTECT YOU’ isn’t a very persuasive case to make to the tens of millions of Americans who have guns — often very powerful ones — in their homes. And directing fury at gun owners for their lack of trust isn’t likely to increase their faith in government.”
AN INSIDE-THE-BELTWAY VIEW OF CAPITALISM:
“What they don’t take into adequate consideration is that the private sector capitalism can’t survive, let alone flourish, without the federal government playing a robust role in supporting it”A comment from this post.
How do Leftists pack so many stupidities into a single statement? Government does not create wealth. Without “Capitalism” creating the wealth to be appropriated for Government, dipsticks like Moran would starve inside of a week, let alone have the resources to meddle in every aspect of our lives.
It is Capitalism that plays the “robust role” in supporting Government – by paying truckloads of money in taxes, and providing the real-world resources to implement Government schemes. Private companies under Government contracts built Interstate Highways, Hoover Dam, military weapons systems, even the chairs underneath self important bureaucrat’s backsides. The bureaucrats themselves are a combination of a small group of semi-skilled clerks pushing the right paper into the right places, and a far larger group of incompetent, feather-bedding office furniture skimming off the revenue streams appropriated from the productive (read: PRIVATE) sector of society.
Jim Moran is a self-important buffoon who seems to think he has sufficient knowledge to control all the myriad activities of 300 million people, simply by virtue of being an official bureaucrat.
I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG to oppose GMOs (genetically modified foods). Occasionally even environmentalists can see the light. Too bad they are few and far between.
