Barack Obama wants people to believe he’s not a yes-man to big business. He’ll tout his words. He has to tout his words, because, in the big picture, he hasn’t *DONE* much. He’s claimed much, but the legwork, planning, and execution almost entirely falls on other people.
But, he can’t even talk his way out of [...]

“The Fourth Kind” is complete fraud, but it’ll draw an audience of ’suckers’.

They’ve been billing “The Fourth Kind”, a film featuring alien abduction, as a fact-based thriller type of film. Except for one problem. It isn’t anything of the sort. It’s another Blair Witch Project, which they had to trick you into the theaters with clever orchestrated bogus reports on the then Sci-Fi Channel. Unfortunately for people [...]
The Heene family’s stunt could have been planned with media help.

There has been ’speculation’ (so far) that the “balloon boy” hoax could have also involved an unnamed media outlet. Sheriff Alderden wouldn’t name the media outlet, but hinted it was a show that “blurs the line between entertainment and news”, and that it had a deal of some kind with regard to the balloon incident. [...]
Richard Heene might have pulled it off, except..

That’s right. Richard Heene, ‘mastermind’ of an elaborately thought out scam involving his family faking a missing child emergency, might have actually gotten away without anyone having found out he planned it all out.
Except, he’s Richard Heene, and lacks the necessary mental ability. For one thing, if you’re a lying criminal scum, and you’re working [...]
Richard Heene, with luck, will be doing time now.

Yep, the Sheriff is pursuing criminal charges. It is official, although everyone already knew that the “balloon boy” story was a big hoax. Richard Heene, patriarch and criminal ‘mastermind’ of the Heene clan, apparently hatched this scam in an attempt at drawing exposure to his lifestyle as a kook inventor, storm-chaser, wannabe actor, script-writer, and [...]
Those darn Nigerians are still doing disreputable things.

Remember that “District 9″ drama not too long ago? The Nigerian government was trying to claim the film was a conspiracy to make Nigerians look like criminals. They failed to address the non-movie issues that were making Nigerians look like criminals.
Guess what. They’re at it again. Well, it’s not “just” Nigerians this time. This time [...]
Immigrant ‘advocacy’ group tries to interfere with Halloween.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles has decided that they don’t like extra-terrestrial “illegal alien” costumes, and that they are offensive to immigrants. So, they decided to write e-mails to Target stores and the costume company that makes the costumes, asking them to stop selling them.
Target is removing the costumes, cringing under [...]
TLC Network tries to further exploit Gosselin family.

TLC, owned by Discovery Communications LLC, is now suing Jon Gosselin, alleging “breach of contract”, for talking about his family and the show.
Does anyone even watch the “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ show, anymore? I thought the ratings tanked, and there was that investigation for violating the child labor laws. What ever happened there? Did [...]
Falcon Heene can vomit on cue. Give him his own reality television series.

I’m serious. They can call it “Falcon’s Search for a New Dad.” He needs a new set of parents, if what we’ve been seeing is to be believed. His father clearly orchestrated the ‘disappearance’, and now he’s being flooded with questions he can’t answer. Any moment he’s on the air, and someone asks him about [...]
Falcon Heene, alive and well, may have spilled the beans.

“Why didn’t you come out?” Richard Heene said.
Falcon answered, “You had said that we did this for a show.”
Yes, and when questioned, the father claimed he had no idea what his son was talking about. A young colorado boy was missing, and family claimed they saw him climb into a homemade balloon aircraft. Only, he [...]
