Obama bemoans special interest money in Chicago, will cash $400,000 check on Wall Street

As we told you yesterday, one of the themes ex-President Obama touched on during his first public speech in Chicago was that “special interests dominate the debates in Washington” and that’s very bad…

Surfing In Warm Weather Is For Suckers. These Guys Do It In The Arctic.

Photographer Chris Burkard recently teamed up with SmugMug Film and some professional surfers to do something amazing. Burkard and his crew took a trip up to the Arctic Circle in Norway to surf some of the roughest, coldest beaches in the world. They filmed the whole thing and have created a mini documentary of their adventure. It is seriously awesome:

If you thought that was amazing, just check out some of the photographs Burkard took during the trip.

Burkard’s work is amazing. Check out some of his other non-Arctic pictures:

Another paper flips to Romney: Wisconsin State Journal says ‘Not enough hope, too little change’

http://twitter.com/#!/RyanGOP/status/265060504215617537

This morning we learned that the New York Daily News endorsed Romney. Now, the Wisconsin State Journal has announced its support for him.

Here’s an excerpt from the story:

Romney better understands how and why entrepreneurs and employers decide to expand and add jobs. He’s more likely to get the private-sector going strong again.

Obama failed to embrace his own commission’s bipartisan debt deal. Ryan, serving on the commission, similarly balked at the solid and comprehensive agreement.

It was Obama and his fellow Democrats who went it alone on health care, making subsequent deals even harder to find. It was Obama who too often let Congress steer the ship in circles. It still is Obama who hasn’t laid out a clear vision for the next four years.

It’s difficult to keep track of the number of newspapers endorsing Romney that backed Obama in 2008.

‘Well that should help’: Breitbart’s Patrick Howley ‘pleased to announce’ he’s been reinstated

As Twitchy told you, last week, Breitbart reporter Patrick Howley was “suspended indefinitely” over a series of tweets impugning Michelle Fields’ honesty about the incident with Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

Looks like “indefinitely” actually meant “a few days”:

Congratulations?

Yep. He called it:

Alrighty, then.

Editor’s note: This post has been updated with additional tweets.

Ben & Jerry’s serves up hypocrisy

http://twitter.com/#!/benandjerrys/status/185450485120122880

Hmmmkay. So. Not only are Ben, Jerry et al. celebrating monster-sized sundaes (what would Michelle Obama say if she knew?!), but they’re also using ice cream to go after Citizens United. It’s all about, like, keeping the dough out of politics! Get it?

President @BarackObama we just topped off the 65-scoop sundae with #VT activists to say Get the Dough Out of Politics! http://t.co/cUVHAEVA

— Ben & Jerry's (@benandjerrys) March 29, 2012

Except, well, Ben and Jerry failed to live up to their own standards. See, just since 2007, the ice cream mavens have graciously allowed plenty of their dough into politics.

Let’s take a look at Jerry’s political contributions first, shall we?

And now, let’s look at Ben’s:

According to our calculations, that makes a combined $51,550 to Democratic politicians, PACs, and the Democratic Party. That’s a whole lotta dough-nations! Eh? Eh? See what we did there?

Ben and Jerry had better grab a coupla of big ol’ spoons; they’ve got a whoooole lotta words to eat.
