More Jaybird

Our favorite coward Jason Mattera is doing his best Paris Hilton act by getting as much camera time as possible. He recently harassed Senator Al Franken over a provision in the Health Care Law designed to help children grow up more physically fit.

DK has a complete takedown of this common dope:

But if that weren't enough, let's examine exactly what provisions of the health care law Mr. Mattera is so incensed with.

The first provision: tax incentives designed specifically to promote fitness in schools and reduce childhood obesity. It doesn't take the most brilliant health care policy expert in the world to point out that the childhood obesity epidemic is a serious concern--not just medically, but fiscally as well. Childhood obesity has significant correlations to expensive, chronic conditions such as diabetes. Healthy children, on the other hand, usually become healthy adults--the type who produce far less strain on the health care system. From a purely logical standpoint, then, it makes significant sense for the government to invest in children's health.

Mr. Mattera, however, seems to disagree. It is hard to know whether this is because he hates government, hates children, or both. Perhaps if Mattera had a child in public school, he might be more concerned about whether or not that child could receive a healthy meal, or get a chance to exercise. In either case, Sean Hannity and the rest of the conservative media movement have absolutely no problem with reviling this particular provision.

For the most part this post is way off topic for what we cover. We just wish to point out that there's a reason why Mattera disagrees with this provision: Jason Mattera hates fitness. See this post from OYE's past. If you roll the below video up to the 1:58 mark you will find Jason not able to complete a proper pushup.



Although Mr. Mattera appears to be at a proper body weight, it is evident that he lacks the muscle mass to overcome gravity and push himself up from the earth. We've encouraged Jason to enlist in the past, to help strengthen his body in boot camp, but somewhere along the way we concluded he'd rather face old, doughy Congress Critters than enemies in combat (but we're certainly not above mocking him).

Mattera Stalks Again

We wonder if Jason Mattera stalks his ex-girlfriends in the same manner he shadows Senators and Congressmen? Whoa, let me stop myself there. The only women he's talked to in his life have thrown drinks on his shirt or sprayed him down with a can of mace.

Recently Jason popped out of a manhole cover to ambush Congressman Alan Greyson.

MATTERA: What about the house -- there's the House portion that provides funding for Native American child molesters and the Senate portion that provides

GRAYSON: Oh God, are you a kook?

MATTERA: -- that mandates - No, this is in the bill.

GRAYSON: Are you a kook? 'Cause you're starting to sound like it.

MATTERA: This is in your bill that you voted for.

GRAYSON: Okay, have a nice day.

Let us confirm for you, Congressman Grayson, that Mattera is indeed a kook. As well as a coward and a racist.

Here's the entire video if you dare (Jason is the one on the left, wearing a size 28 sportcoat)




Note to Jason: please spring for a quality camera. Your frat buddy filming with his cellphone really makes you look like more of a joker.

Jason Mattera returns

...with a book deal. And even more racism.

How can conservatives win the youth vote that overwhelmingly went for Barack Obama in 2008? At the Conservative Political Action Conference, apparently, some are betting on using racial stereotypes.

In a panel appealing to conservatives under 30, Jason Mattera, author of a forthcoming book called “Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation,” likened the gathering to “our Woodstock.”

Keeping Tabs

Since Jason Mattera is busy not serving I wonder what he's been up to?

According to spokesman Jason Mattera, the foundation aims to groom high school and college students to be future leaders by exposing them to conservative philosophies that he said were missing from many classrooms.

"We're teaching them about limited government, strong national defense, traditional values and free enterprise," he said. "Young people need to awaken."

Apparently teaching "strong national defense" doesn't have to include serving Our Country in uniform.

OYE Hall of Famer - Jason Mattera

Jaybird has a website! How'd we not know this before? Especially after all we've written about him. Sadly, he hasn't created a post in a long time, so we're assuming he's in bootcamp (wink-wink). We tried to leave a comment, but it's waiting his moderation. Maybe you might have better luck?
