Muslim Brotherhood 'infiltrated Obama Administration'

An Egyptian magazine claims there is Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the Obama administration at the highest level. The magazine names Rashad Hussain, Arif Alikhan, Salam al-Marayati;  Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); and Eboo Patel. Since June 2009, when Obama invited the then-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood to his appeasement speech in Cairo, his 'subversive support of the Islamic supremacist organization has wreaked havoc on freedom-loving peoples the world over,' alleges Pamela Geller.

Barack Obama's Diary: Munchies


Dear Diary: I have urgent matters to attend to here on Oahu, such as golf, surfing and holding in lungfuls of Kona Skunk from the Big Island. So I directed today that my autopen in DC be used to sign the Fiscal Cliff bill into law. Wowie! This Kona Skunk sure packs  a punch... where was I? Never mind. I've got the Munchies real bad. "Is that Sam Kass?  It's the Preezie here. Look, I need some Doritos, and I need them now.. Whaddya mean, I've emptied the pantry?  How about Tostitos? All gone? Send someone out to buy more.  Sheesh... why can't you think ahead? Sam, you know Kona Skunk is herbal dynamite. I have needs."
That's my phone ringing...Daggone! That was Valerie Jarrett saying that John Boehner will stay on as Speaker and that he has vowed not to participate in any more private discussions with me and will only negotiate through normal open channels. So, no more  mind games with which  to freak him out. This going to make deficit ceiling  negotiations much more difficult. No matter, it's time for a round of golf with my island buddies.

The Dung Beetle Award goes to...

Al Jazeera buys into the US

Al Jazeera, the pan-Arab news organiztion, is to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel. Al Jazeera plans to start an English-language channel, which will be available in more than 40 million homes, with newscasts emanating from both New York and Doha, Qatar. Laughing Conservative recently followed al Jazeera's British channel  for a few days and, ironically, found it more balanced and less agenda-driven than MSNBC is in the US.  More here

Dems in three words

Why it was OK to question Hillary's concussion

An unexpected and refreshing view in The Washington Post of Hillary Clinton's "concussion":
"Head injuries are no joke, but the backlash against those who initially questioned whether Hillary Clinton’s concussion was for real, seems like an overreaction, too; you don’t have to be hateful to have wondered if she really had the flu and fell down right before she was supposed to testify about the security situation at our [Benghazi] consulate..."
