Urban legends  "Direct quote from NationalReport.net:

Washington, DC -- While up to 800,000 federal workers faced life without a paycheck as Day Two of the government shutdown kicked in, President Barack Obama held a press conference to announce that he is using his own money to open the federally funded International Museum of Muslim Cultures.

"Before anyone's blood pressure rises, please note that no such press conference actually took place. The story is a spoof.

"For some reason people persist in thinking that NationalReport.net publishes actual news. It doesn't. It's a satirical site, somewhat like The Onion but a lot more political and a lot less funny."

...."It's still a relatively easy matter to demonstrate that the intent of the website is satirical, however. Just check some of the other articles written by the author of the above story, Paul Horner:

Progressives Want to Send Innocent People to Jail…to Set an Example?

Heritage  "Should society throw people into jail who admittedly did nothing blameworthy just to set an example for others? That is exactly what the Center for Progressive Reform has suggested doing in a recent report on the Occupational Safety and Health Act."....

...."Under this doctrine, a corporate officer is personally criminally liable for the actions of his or her employees, regardless of whether the corporate officer knew or should have known of the criminal conduct."....

..."The responsible corporate officer doctrine turns the job of a corporate officer into a gamble. Corporate officers have to bet their freedom that employees will perform their duties lawfully in an environment of thousands of regulations. A loss on that bet could land them in prison. There are ways to promote workplace safety without throwing blameless men and women in prison.

Dear President Obama: Fire somebody and show that you are in charge

American Thinker  "By any executive 101 standard, President Obama is failing and failing big:
1) Hold your subordinates responsible; and,
2) Make adjustments.
"Speaking of accountability, let's start with Secretary Sebelius.  Why does this lady still have a job, especially after her hilarious appearance with John Stewart?
"Let's look at Secretary Sebelius's performance, as Tom Bevan posted:"

'It was one of the most degrading things I've ever done': Miley Cyrus' back-up dancer reveals she was left 'shaking and crying' after controversial VMA performance

UK Daily Mail   "Whether she was stripping to her underwear or twerking with giant teddy bears, Miley Cyrus left many in shock after her performance at the VMA's in August.
"But it seems no one was more shocked than one of her very own back-up dancers.
"Los Angeles-based performer Hollis Jane, who refers to herself as a little person, revealed on her blog: 'I was a bear in Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance and. . . for the first time I felt truly ashamed of being a little person."

'When I did the VMAs. . . we were being used simply

 I am small'

Hope n' Change  "Here's the Hope n' Change cartoon and commentary exactly as it appeared on July 13, 2011.  Sadly, the reference to Barry threatening to withhold Social Security checks is as timely today as it was over two years ago..."
"There's a time-honored saying that "When the going gets tough, the tough threaten defenseless little old people." Mind you, it's only a time-honored saying in the Democratic party, but it's still as true - and despicable - today as it ever was.

"In his effort to blackmail Republicans into agreeing to potentially job-killing tax hikes on businesses and investors, Barack Obama has announced that he may choose to not send out Social Security checks to senior citizens on August 3rd, sneering "there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.' "

Millions of elderly people like this are afraid of losing their Social

Security checks and...no, wait. This is just Obama's taxpayer-supported

 Aunt Zeituni who is watching her soap operas. She'll be fine.
