It's always nice to see our elected officials display their true colors with impunity. That's why South Bend Councilman, Oliver Davis, places a respectable third in this year's Trilateral Admission Awards. Last week Davis had this to say concerning President Obama's speaking engagement which is scheduled to take place at the University of Notre Dame in May.

"It's an honor for the city to have dignitaries visit no matter who they are or why they're making the trip." He also notices that "personal contact can pay off in federal funding down the road."

Translation: I don't give a flip if Obama thinks it should be legal to jam a pair of scissors into the base of a partially born infant's head and suck its brains out. If there's a paycheck in it for me, I'm game.

So refreshing to see public officials with this kind of transparency.

In second place for the TA Awards we have a shocking admission from the Internal Revenue Service. It was recently announced that the IRS is stepping up its collection efforts. This should come as no surprise since the Louisville Courier Journal reported just last week that the IRS gave away $7 billion in tax refunds to illegal aliens. If you're wondering how the all-knowing, all-powerful, beneficent IRS could screw up so badly, it's because you've either (A) forgotten they are part of the federal gubment, or (B) you're a liberal scumbag.

And of course, coming in at number one is Hugo Chavez's "startling" admission to President Barack Obama at last week's Fifth Summit of the Americas in Trinidad, "I want to be your friend." This was especially surprising, considering that only last month, Chavez said Obama was an "ignoramus." Apparently, it takes one to know one.
