Good news! US envoy to human rights conference also a defender of Hamas and Hezbollah!

Washington Free Beacon: Jewish leaders expressed outrage Friday over the State Department’s praise for, and defense of, a controversial Muslim leader who has defended terrorist groups and suggested that Israel may have been responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Salam al-Marayati, founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), was picked to represent the United States government at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s (OSCE) annual

Black ops

Not in the racist way, of course, but, well — just go with it. New theory:  Obama lost the first debate as part of a larger strategy to win the next two (presumably after Biden is left sputtering for some absurd hyperbole by Paul Ryan and his magic slide rule of freedom). Obama is playing three-dimensional chess on a holographic, tritium-illuminated chess board made from a space-aged combination of supercompressed

On PBS

Look:   Big Bird has been living off the taxpayer for going on 43 years.  Now, I’m all for a social safety net, provided that’s what it is:  a safety net, meant as a last resort to help those who are truly struggling.   But come on.  Dude.  Four decades on and still no time for, say, paralegal classes at the University of Phoenix? I’m not buying it. You’ve got

Finally, the definitive definitive reason for Obama’s poor debate performance is revealed

I noted yesterday that Obama’s excuse for his poor debate showing — raise your hands if you lost your office pool because you had either “Bush” or “The Stafford Act” — was, in fact, a refreshingly candid one:  Mitt Romney.  Mitt Romney made the President suck. Turns out though, it was less Romney per se than it was the fact that his words, scribbled in some ancient and indecipherable code

Saturday morning news brief

Oh, you can bet I’d have lots to say about current events this morning.  Lots. Unfortunately I haven’t a hanky. And so am utterly helpless. — Though in my defense,  who carries those things anymore?   And not just the magical Mormon kind, but any kind?

The New Yorker discovers that Obama is, indeed, an empty chair [Darleen Click]

“Dallas man linked to Anonymous hackers indicted”

That Dallas man would be Barrett Brown.  From lubbockonline: A North Texas man linked to the worldwide hacking group Anonymous is facing federal charges for YouTube videos and Twitter postings in which he taunts the FBI and threatens to ruin one agent’s life. Barrett Brown was taken into federal custody in Dallas last month, but authorities wouldn’t say why he was being detained until Thursday, when the U.S. Attorney’s Office

Finally, the definitive reason for Obama’s poor debate performance is revealed

And that reason, according to the President, was Mitt Romney.  Mitt Romney made the President lose the debate.  And he did so, nefariously and without a shred of fairness, by not adopting the “Mitt Romney” persona created for him by the press and the Obama campaign.  That is, he did so by bringing actual reality into an arena the President mistakenly believed would still be guided by those special rules

On intentionalism and “boys”

Kevin Baker, Harper’s: [Obama]didn’t show a spark of anger, even when Romney slyly found a way to call him a boy, comparing Obama’s statements to the sorts of childish lies his ‘five boys’ used to tell.  How the right’s hard-core racists must have howled at that! Mitt, at long last, has secured his base. Well, what can I say?  We allow such arguments because we allow (incorrectly and from a
