Barack Obama, it’s time your Auntie Zeituni moved into the White House with her family.

“I read just this week in the American Thinker that you’ve been denouncing the fact that those greedy evil Americans who actually work for a living get itemized deductions.

Yet this tax year, the Web site reported, you Obamas claimed $373,289 in itemized deductions. Had you merely used the standard deduction of $11,400, you could have jacked up your taxable income by $361,889. You could have paid — excuse me, “invested” — another $126,661 in income taxes. Money that would be used . . . for the children. You and the rest of the moonbats keep saying we need a “balanced” approach to solving the deficit problem. I agree we need balance — everybody who thunders about raising other people’s taxes should balance their rhetoric by paying more themselves, voluntarily.”

Two border agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security allegedly forced four suspected Mexican drug smugglers to eat from their marijuana before stripping and releasing them into the cold desert.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encouraged consumers to check their refrigerators for meat that is part of the 36 million-pound recall this week by Cargill, Inc., one of the largest meatpackers in the U.S. The contaminated meat is blamed for 78 illnesses, including one death in California.  The recall equals six percent of annual U.S. ground turkey production, and the food industry is trying to gauge the contamination’s impact on demand in the weeks and months ahead. Consumers typically avoid affected products for two to four weeks before returning to them, said Thomas Marsh, a professor of agricultural economics at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash.

Check those freezers.
