Biden hails middle class at wealthy fundraiser

Vice President Joe Biden addressed 87 wealthy Democrats last night attending a fundraiser at the home of Sen. John Kerry in Georgetown. As they dined on grass-fed New York strip steaks and white truffle mashed potatos underneath a outdoor tent, Biden criticized Republicans for being out of touch.

 

“These guys don’t have a sense of the average folks out there,” Biden said according to the pool report, “They don’t know what it means to be middle class.”

 

87 guests paid a minimum of $10,000-per-couple to attend the dinner.

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.

 

One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Montana. All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.

 

The Montana contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.

 

"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900. That's $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

 

The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700. That's $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

 

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."

 

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?"

 

The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."

 

"Done!" replies the government official.

 

And . . . that . . . is how our Government works!

I recently filled my tank @ $3.49 a gallon for the mid-grade! It was a Shell that honors King Sooper's {Kroger] gas discounts of 10 cents a gallon, but most King Soopers have a gas station in the parking lot, or nearby [some are 'participating' stations.]

New Rules for Old Farts

 

If you remember when health insurance was optional, you are an old fart.

If there was only one fat kid in your class, you are an old fart.

 

If you think “Occupy” is a verb and not a noun, you are an old fart.

 

If you just want to be left alone, you are an old fart.

 

If you remember when only sailors had tattoos, you are an old fart.

 

If you remember when civil rights meant equal rights, not reverse discrimination, you are an old fart.

 

If you’ve never uploaded naked photographs of yourself, you are an old fart.

 

If you remember when being radical meant hating the government, rather than relying on it, you are an old fart.

 

If you’ve ever bought something with cash, you are an old fart.

 

If you don’t go all the way on the first date, you are an old fart.

 

If you remember when being a Democrat meant being anti-communist, you are an old fart.

 

If you remember when “books” were made of paper, you are an old fart.

 

If you’ve ever used the word “gay” to mean carefree or joyous, you are an old fart.

 

If you remember when being on welfare was embarrassing, you are an old fart.

Small businessman buys big Limbaugh ad

DYLAN BYERS

3/14/12

 

Following two weeks of news reports about a Rush Limbaugh advertiser exodus, a small businessman in Lenor City, Tennessee, has come out with an advertisement in Limbaugh's defense.

 

Steven Eimers, who runs a local window cleaning service and recorded the advertisement at WOKI Knoxville yesterday, says he bought the ad not just to earn business but because he wanted to support free speech.

 

"I've already got a ton of positive repsonses," Eimers told me. "I'm just a small little window cleaning company, but for a small business guy the ads on Rush right now are not that expensive. To be able to stand up for what you believe in is just incredible."

Obama camp: If election were today, Mitt would win

President Obama's campaign staff made the curious decision to build a fundraising message around their candidate's apparent weakness, warning supporters that Mitt Romney would beat Obama if the election were held today.

 

"Friend," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina wrote today, "If the general election were held today, President Obama would lose to Mitt Romney -- according to the latest poll from Washington Post-ABC News. Now, many other polls put the President on top, but all point to the same reality: We're looking at a race that will be tighter than you think," Messina warned.

 

Messina didn't even bother praising the president when he asked for money. "If the idea of a President Romney scares you, it's time to own a piece of this campaign," he said before appealing for donations of $3 and up.

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Rock Attacks Conservative Author Over Tea Party Question

The New York Times bestselling author of the explosive new book, Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama’s Biggest Backers, Jason Mattera, had his crew’s camera snatched and hurled by comedian Chris Rock when he asked the star why he has called the Tea Party racist (video below).

 

“I was stunned,” said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood. “Tea Party members get called the worst things imaginable and still remain peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain himself and the guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my camerawoman, chucks it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It’s unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and writeHollywood Hypocrites.”

 

The confrontation, which took place around 2:00 a.m. on January 23, 2012, at Spike Lee’s Sundance Film Festival after party at Tao night club, ended with Chris Rock challenging the conservative author to a fight, says Mr. Mattera:

 

“Chris Rock shouted, ‘You want to throw down? Let’s throw down right now!’ Of course, he was standing safely behind two bodyguards when he said it.”
