Snooki calls out Obama The Jersey Shore star swerves into the complexities of the US tax code

MTV—Jersey Shore star Snooki took a jab at the president in a recent episode regarding new health care reform regulations of UV ray sessions:

"I don’t go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. [Sen. John] McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning. Because he’s pale and would probably want to be tan. Obama doesn’t have that problem. Obviously.”

Not one contributing member of KP has seen a single episode of Jersey Shore but the sound bite made its way virally through the Internet for all to see. It showcases the sad state of reality television as well as the sad reality of unintended consequences of bad legislation. Perhaps it will shine a light bulb over the dim heads of MTV reality junkies—when you regulate something more, you get less of it. But then again, if you so recall, liberal minds don’t reconcile basic economics.

“Barefoot Bandit” returns home to face criminal charges Teen thief and police taunt Harris-Moore begins his ride through the criminal justice system

The barefoot bandit comes home. 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore steps from a plane in Seattle to face a blizzard of criminal charges. And his defense attorney says the teenager has a message for the 90,000 fans who followed his escapades on his Facebook page.

Attorney John Henry Browne said, "He actually gave us a message to give you and the public and that is for any of the kids out there than think this is fun it is not.  And that he was scared to death most of the time he was on his lark."

But his mother, Pam Kohler was a no-show at his brief arraignment and she has not visited him behind bars.

"She missed her ride this morning, with me actually, and I just couldn't wait for her any longer.  So she wasn't able to make it," said Browne.

We're learning about Colton's difficult childhood.  A social worker's report filed when he was 12 said, "Colton wants mom to stop drinking and smoking, get a job and have food in the house.  Mom refuses."

There is no welcome mat outside his mother's home near Seattle.  The sign says,  "If you go past this sign you will be shot."

And this is what happened when ABC news reporter Neal Karlinksy tried to talk with her.

A man came out of the trailer and said, "The lady tells me you people need to leave. Period. Goodbye."

"Just give us a second," said Karlinksy.

"Goodbye! Going inside, I'm coming back with a gun.  You better be gone!  Period!"

Harris-Moore is being hailed as a cult hero by some.  But in court, his attorney says Harris-Moore doesn't think that's appropriate and is worried others will try to copy him.
