Yahoo Questions
Linkiest has a link to an amusing compilation of some of the more obtuse Yahoo questions. You should crib some of these on the off chance that you go to an Obama townhall meeting. Since he never gives a straight answer, why not hit him with a few of these?
Do midgets have night vision? One of my friends told me that midgets have night vision but I wasn’t sure if it was true. I know a little person from school so i called him up and asked him. He didn’t say anything and just hung up so im pretty confused. Can anyone help me?
Can I tell by the smell of my husband’s gas if he has been cheating? I know this sounds crazy… BUT. Hubs usually has his own smell. The family always knows when he has passed gas even if he tries to be funny and blame it on the dog.
Lately, he’s had to work late a few times and each time he’s come home and his gas has smelled unlike anything I’ve ever smelled from him. Kinda like maybe he had Thai food or something? He says he has only been at work and not anywhere else…but something is definately different.
Do you think he’s cheating?
Help! I cannot take off my mother’s bra and she’s gonna be home in 5 minutes! The mirror doesn’t help much!?
I got myself in a real pickle. The thing is, I don’t want to wreck it either.
How can I test if my son is gay? I am worried my son might be gay. I want to get him checked. Isn’t it possible to get a hormone check? A vocal chord check? Can’t a doctor indicate if he is gay or not? My son has almost no muscles and narrow shoulders. He also has blue eyes, he talks in a very high voice and when he sings he sounds like a castrato. He tells me his voice is called tenor.
How can I test if my son is gay?
This question had a pretty good Yahoo answer.
There’s a really simple test you can do at home.
Get some vinegar, get some baking soda. Then make a big clay volcano. Then while this is erupting, if your son is too busy sucking a dick, he’s gay.

Look What We Just Made Up
Pay no attention to the EvilConservatives.org credit at the bottom of the piece. This is ours now.
Maybe someone from over there can explain what the heck this piece means. That way we will know what to say when we take credit for it. As for now, we know we like it, I guess that’s all that matters.

Top Ten Corrupt Politicians
In case you’ve never seen it, here is Judicial Watch’s list of the worst of the worst corrupt politicians. I can imagine twisted liberals spittling, “Boooooosh, Cheney!” Ya, guy, um… they aren’t politicians, as much as you actually wish they were, because it seems that you kinda miss those guys. I guess they kinda defined your life, huh? But, chin up! Here’s a list of crooks that you WON’T protest against
10 – Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY): Rangel, the man in charge of writing tax policy for the entire country, has yet to adequately explain how he could possibly “forget” to pay taxes on $75,000 in rental income he earned from his off-shore rental property. He also faces allegations that he improperly used his influence to maintain ownership of highly coveted rent-controlled apartments in Harlem, and misused his congressional office to fundraise for his private Rangel Center by preserving a tax loophole for an oil drilling company in exchange for funding. On top of all that, Rangel recently amended his financial disclosure reports, which doubled his reported wealth. (He somehow “forgot” about $1 million in assets.) And what did he do when the House Ethics Committee started looking into all of this? He apparently resorted to making “campaign contributions” to dig his way out of trouble. According to WCBS TV, a New York CBS affiliate: “The reigning member of Congress’ top tax committee is apparently ‘wrangling’ other politicos to get him out of his own financial and tax troubles…Since ethics probes began last year the 79-year-old congressman has given campaign donations to 119 members of Congress, including three of the five Democrats on the House Ethics Committee who are charged with investigating him.” Charlie Rangel should not be allowed to remain in Congress, let alone serve as Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, and he knows it. That’s why he felt the need to disburse campaign contributions to Ethics Committee members and other congressional colleagues.
9 – Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) and the rest of the PMA Seven: Rep. John Murtha made headlines in 2009 for all the wrong reasons. The Pennsylvania congressman is under federal investigation for his corrupt relationship with the now-defunct defense lobbyist PMA Group. PMA, founded by a former Murtha associate, has been the congressman’s largest campaign contributor. Since 2002, Murtha has raised $1.7 million from PMA and its clients. And what did PMA and its clients receive from Murtha in return for their generosity? Earmarks — tens of millions of dollars in earmarks. In fact, even with all of the attention surrounding his alleged influence peddling, Murtha kept at it. Following an FBI raid of PMA’s offices earlier in 2009, Murtha continued to seek congressional earmarks for PMA clients, while also hitting them up for campaign contributions. According toThe Hill, in April, “Murtha reported receiving contributions from three former PMA clients for whom he requested earmarks in the pending appropriations bills.” When it comes to the PMA scandal, Murtha is not alone. As many as six other Members of Congress are currently under scrutiny according to The Washington Post. They include: Peter J. Visclosky (D-IN.), James P. Moran Jr. (D-VA), Norm Dicks (D-WA.), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), C.W. Bill Young (R-FL.) and Todd Tiahrt (R-KS.). Of course rather than investigate this serious scandal, according to Roll Call House Democrats circled the wagons, “cobbling together a defense to offer political cover to their rank and file.” The Washington Post also reported in 2009 that Murtha’s nephew received $4 million in Defense Department no-bid contracts: “Newly obtained documents…show Robert Murtha mentioning his influential family connection as leverage in his business dealings and holding unusual power with the military.”

Dogs Off The Furniture
Update: NOT The Resolute Desk, but still, dogs off the furniture, please.
Obama with his feet on the Oval Office desk made from the timbers of the HMS Resolute and gift from the UK in 1880:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/4291124165/
Little known fact: The desk has been modified thrice: President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a hinged front panel in order to hide his wheelchair, Reagan had it modded to accommodate his personal chair and Clinton had a large arc removed to enable the free movement of Monica’s bobbing head. -Assman
Pssst, Barry. That desk isn’t from Wal-Mart.
Concerned onlookers were reassured that Obama does, indeed, take good care of the desk. And moments later this was evidenced when he was seen wiping the desk down with a moistened U.S. flag. -bigfurhat
UN climate change panel based claims on student dissertation and magazine article
From The Telegraph
The United Nations’ expert panel on climate change based claims about ice disappearing from the world’s mountain tops on a student’s dissertation and an article in a mountaineering magazine.
… researchers have expressed exasperation at the IPCC’s use of unsubstantiated claims and sources outside of the scientific literature.
Professor Richard Tol, one of the report’s authors who is based at the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin, Ireland, said: “These are essentially a collection of anecdotes.
“Why did they do this? It is quite astounding. Although there have probably been no policy decisions made on the basis of this, it is illustrative of how sloppy Working Group Two (the panel of experts within the IPCC responsible for drawing up this section of the report) has been.
“There is no way current climbers and mountain guides can give anecdotal evidence back to the 1900s, so what they claim is complete nonsense.”

Rootless RINOS
iOTW is very dedicated to rooting out the RINOS and highlighting and promoting candidates that are proud conservatives. We, once again, highlight Patrick Hughes, senatorial primary candidate for the State of Illinois. Here is candidate Hughes speaking about the grassroots uprising in support of his campaign.
In the last week I’ve seen an incredible surge in support for my campaign here in Illinois. People all across the state are coming out of the woodwork to help us out, whether with a yard sign, making phone calls, passing out literature, or a financial contribution. It makes the hours and nights onthe road away from my family a little easier, knowing that this campaign means something to Conservatives all across Illinois.
Across the country, the NRSC has attempted to lay out a roadblock to any Candidate that is not the “chosen one” in their eyes. We’re seeing it in Florida, Delaware; and here in Illinois they decided they would stuff Republican ballot boxes with their liberal golden boy, Mark Kirk. However, they are running into a problem. Mark Kirk can’t seem to find any support across the state.
The reliability of polls is always in question, but from all the polls that have been done one thing is certain, Mark Kirk has not gain any new supporters while my campaign is constantly growing. The reason is plain as day, Mark Kirk does nothing to excite Republican voters and his support is weak. No one wants Nancy Pelosi’s favorite Republican as their choice for Senate this fall.
The NRSC laid out a track of astroturf for Mark Kirk to sprint to the finish on. The problem is astroturf doesn’t grow. My campaign however, is surrounding by a rapidly growing grassroots effort because I am running on a Conservative platform with fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, and traditional values.
Mark Kirk is doing what he can to appeal to voters, this includes lying about being a “fiscal conservative” and a “budget hawk.” The last time I checked, fiscal conservatives did not vote with Nancy Pelosi for massive tax increases like Cap and Trade, or bailouts for failing banks. I know a”budget hawk” certainly would never sponsor earmarks upwards on $80 million for his campaign donors, but Mark Kirk has done all of those things.
Despite the rhetoric and conservative camouflage the RINO is not seeing his support grow. Nearly 60% of Illinois primary voters are not sold on a candidate. We are less than 7 days away from the primary and the grassroots support is surging around my candidacy. We are going to keep fighting all the way through February 2nd and we will win because of a storm of Conservative support in the final days. The time for conservatives to Take It Back has come and we won’t let any RINO to get in our way.
-Patrick Hughes-
