Reason.tv presents Citizen's Against Government Waste's Porkers of the Month for January 2011:

Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), and John Kerry (D-Mass.!

After the wasteful development work on the alternate engine for the Joint Strike Fighter was in danger of losing funding, these three urged the Pentagon to release even more taxpayer funds for redundant technology no one wants.

Congratulations Senators, you are Citizen's Against Government Waste's Porkers of the Month for January, 2011!

The Obama regime and his Democrats are giving billions of our tax dollars to GE. Jeff Immelt, GE's CEO, sits on two Obama boards. As a matter of fact, GE stockholder, Warren Buffett also sits on Obama's board as well. GE is Obama's Haliburton.

Listen to Mark Levintalk about GE being Obama's Haliburton.

Re: Jesse Ventura Sues TSA and DHS Over Airport Screening Violations

Tell Jesse to stop his whining.
Airport security is a must.

that said, it is important to also keep TSA in check when it comes to
their watch list.

> Former Minnesota governor JesseVentura is set to wrestle with the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through a lawsuit he filed on Monday, according toThe Hals Reportfor January 25. After enduring enhanced screening last November at a Minnesota airport, Ventura claims the TSA full-body scan and pat-down violated his privacy rights.The Star Tribuneadded that Ventura is asking a Minnesota federal judge to issue an injunction ordering officials to stop subjecting him towarrantless and suspicionless scansand body searches. His suit also names Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and TSA Administrator John Pistole as defendants.
>
> The argument set forth by the lawsuit is that the required searches are unwarranted and unreasonable intrusions on Governor Ventura s personal privacy and dignity," and are a justifiable cause for him to be concerned, specifically that he was subjected to warrantless rubbing of the genitals when a TSA agent conducted the pat-down. As a consequence of a 2008 hip replacement surgery, Ventura lives with a titanium plate that sets off the alarm in an airport screening magnetometer, requiring him to submit to a secondary search. He notes that prior to November, officials had always used a non-invasive hand-held wand, but during the November incident he wasn t given that option.
>
> The governor s attorney, David Olsen, commented, "The security procedures are going too far. There s a line somewhere and he believes that line has been crossed." A TSA spokesman stated that the agency doesn t comment on pending litigation.

> Ventura s suit is one of a growing number against the TSA and DHS for humiliating and unconscionable incidents resulting from the new search procedures.PrisonPlant.comreported several recent high-profile cases describingoutrageous behavior on the part of TSA agents.
> Frequent traveler and businessman Jon Corbett has filed his own lawsuit and started a blog,TSA Out of Our Pants!. His efforts have gained momentum, and his simple reasoning is that the best defense against TSA overreach is the travelers themselves. Having grown in up New York City and witnessed the events of 9/11, Corbett nevertheless noted that he knows of not one instance in which the TSA has stopped a terrorist.

> Ventura and others agree. Not to mention the authors of the Fourth Amendment, who wrote:
>
> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

> What is going on in Egypt is so rich in import that it's not easy to grapple with it. I did notice that the corporate state-controlled media is downplaying the story, covering it, yes, but not with the wall-to-wall coverage it deserves. No real surprise there since the Feds have been subsidizing the Egyptian dictator for many years. Yes, those assaults on the protesters, those murders, are paid for by your U.S. tax dollars.
> [Update: CNN now has the best coverage.]
> I see the essence of the story in this. An authoritarian state with rigged elections and with an extensive and brutal secret police and with control over the internet, can be brought down by direct citizen action. I said "can" since we do not know yet how this will play out. But other authoritarian states have been brought down in similar circumstances (Iran, Philippines, Romania).
> In my LRC bestseller,Direct Citizen Action, drawing on the work of de La Boétie and Rothbard, I wrote: "most of the power of the government comes from the perception that it is legitimate. . . History shows that regimes fall when the masses withdraw their "consent." This can be done by direct action, basically, a national strike until the dictator flees with whatever loot he can carry onto his private plane. Violence is not necessary though usually the state will shoot some protesters and the protesters will throw rocks in response. But as we saw with the Shah, state violence can merely accelerate the death of the regime by arousing even more opposition.
> Since the Republican establishment in the House is having difficulty finding budget cuts other than the presidential campaign fund, the crisis in Egypt gives them a great chance to cut another billion or two from the budget. Guys, that money you have been giving to the Egyptian secret police to suppress and murder their people, is not working, not meeting your cost-benefit test. Can we at last cut money being used to kill innocent civilians? Is it possiblethatis why they hate us?

President Obama Delivers First STFU Address

WASHINGTON (CAP) - As the initial optimism over the president's second SOTU address gives way to the usual bi-partisan bickering and finger-pointing that is the hallmark of the US political process, Barack Obama took to the podium to deliver his first STFU address to the members of Congress.

"Listen, I spoke for over 60 minutes the other night and all anyone can focus on is guns," said Obama. "So I didn't talk about guns. STFU.

"It's bad enough I have to deliver the SOTU during primetime TV, but then the media has to go and rehash everything I just said and totally screw up everyone's DVR settings," Obama continued. "So listen, just STFU, all of you. And enough with the damn whining. You're grown-ups, for crying out loud.

President Obama Says Hi

"Get a grip," Obama added while Congress sat stunned. "And STFU."

At one point, as congressional leaders began to stand and offer a round of applause, the president interrupted, commanding them to "sit down and STFU." He then lit into them about how many times they broke into applause during the SOTU, noting it got so ridiculous that they gave a standing ovation to Joe Biden as he snuck back to his seat from a quick trip to the restroom.

"If you weren't so busy clapping and actually paying attention, you'd know that I didn't say anything about an earmark ban, but rather an earring ban," Obama said. "Left is right, right is wrong. It works all across America and should work just fine in both chambers of Congress. You don't like it? Tough. STFU."

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) provided the WTF rebuttal on behalf of the Tea Party, telling President Obama that "I know you are but what am I" and calling him a "stupidhead." This after she could be seen on camera during the STFU address whispering to Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) beside her that Obama was a "poopyface" and had "caca-breath."

"WTF is up with not signing that Balanced Budget Amendment? WTF is up with spending money we don't have?" said Bachmann. "And WTF is up with this cameraman? I'm over here, WTF. This is exactly what I'm talking about. If I were Democrat, I bet we wouldn't have this issue. WTF."

Meanwhile, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) offered the official AYFKM Republican response, which he delivered while lounging in a hammock and sipping a cocktail. As he spoke, scantily-clad women fluffed his pillow, topped off his drink, and brought him a variety of exotic fruits and cheeses.

"This is a future in which I have earned my spot on this hammock and I look around and I don't see anyone who can give me a push. AYFKM?" said Ryan as he tried to rock himself in the hammock, to no avail. "If government growth is left unchecked, you too will find yourself without someone to give your hammock a push and you'll just be lying there saying to no one in particular - AYFKM?"

Sources close to Obama say the president was pleased with how the speech went, even going so far as to veer from the six scripted STFU's and throw in a couple more of his own. "That's the kind of president we have," said the source. "He doesn't need the teleprompter to know when to tell everyone to STFU."
