Trump And Palin Dine On Pizza; Trump: “I’d Love Her To Run”

alg_trump-palin-la-famiglia

Sarah Palin visited The Donald, and then they went out for pizza.

“She didn’t ask me (to run with her) but I’ll tell you, she’s a terrific woman,” Trump said as he ushered Palin into a branch of Famous Famiglia pizza on Broadway at 50th St.

Palin chose the Albanian pizza chain that advertises itself as New York’s favorite. They ordered a large pepperoni pie as out of towners lined up at the restaurant windows to snap photos.

“It’s amazing,” said owner Giorgio Kolaj. “You can’t get more New York than that, Donald Trump ordering pizza here.”

Palin, who …

House Rejects Raising Debt Ceiling In Admittedly Meangless Vote

110531_dave_camp_ap_328

Even the sponsor of the bill admitted it was bogus

In a sign of just how politically motivated and unserious the proposal was, its chief sponsor, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.), took to the floor Tuesday evening and said, “This vote, a vote based on legislation I have introduced, will and must fail.”

“Now, most members aren’t happy when they bring a bill to the floor and it fails, but I consider defeating an unconditional increase to be a success, because it sends a clear and critical message that the Congress has finally recognized we must immediately begin …

Michele Bachmann’s Potential Run Endorsed By God

BACHMANN-POTUS

She feels the calling

“Well, every decision that I make, I pray about, as does my husband, and I can tell you, yes, I’ve had that calling and that tugging on my heart that this is the right thing to do,” Bachmann said.

Bachmann says she experienced a similar type of spiritual guidance in 2006 when she ran for Congress: “God then called me to run for the United States Congress. And I thought, what in the world would that be for? And my husband said, “You need to do this,” Bachmann said at The Living Word Christian Center, a …

Rep. Allen West Tells Heritage Military Doesn’t Need More Gays

allen-west-smiling-new-cropped-proto-custom_2

Says it’s not like being black because gays can change

“For those that will sit there and say, ‘well, Congressman West, you should understand because after all, you are black,’ — unless I’m Michael Jackson, I can’t change my color,” West said. “But people can change behavior, and you do not base being a part of the military on adjusting for individual behavior. That’s my position.”

“Now is not the time to try to appease a very small special interest group,” West said.…

Another Politician (Canadian), Another Twitter Account, Another Penis

george

Canadian politician George Lepp is also explaining how a picture of his penis was uploaded to his Twitter account and quickly removed. In his case, it’s a stolen phone.

Lepp’s picture, like Weiner’s, was uploaded onto his official Twitter account. It was then, like Weiner’s, quickly removed. Lepp, like Weiner, is claiming that the photo’s subject doesn’t belong to him and is blaming criminal activity (a stolen phone instead of a hacked account).

Lepp is the Progressive Conservative candidate in an October provincial election. Lepp took to Facebook to declare that the photo is not of him (or a …

Bank of America Forecloses On Itself

bofAbldg

by Sally Kohn

Sometimes you can’t make this stuff up.  Bank of America is so eager to foreclose on the American Dream it’s actually foreclosing on itself.  Really.

One Boynton LLC owns a 21,552-square-foot office building in Boynton Beach, Florida (pictured).  The company has a $7.5 million mortgage for the property through Bank of America.  Apparently the mortgage, like many in America, is delinquent.  So Bank of America, which just recently settled charges that it was foreclosing on the homes of military families, is foreclosing on the office building.

Never mind that the primary tenant in the building is …
