Dead Terrorist Remembered [Dan Collins]

Awwww. PFLP founder George Habash died at age 83 in his home in Amman. His terror gang massacred dozens of Israeli adults, children and babies, assassinated Minister Ze’evi and plotted to kill Rabbi Ovadya Yosef. PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced three days of mourning following the death of George Habash, the founder of terror gang PFLP. All PLO flags will be at half mast and there will be an official

Left Expresses Consternation at Race-Based Double Standards [Dan Collins]

Can anti-affirmative action sentiment be far behind? But Barack Obama has an opportunity here to make these new rules, as they pertain to him, lasting. And so does the progressive blogosphere. I have long stated that Obama is a Media Darling, and indeed it is one of the main reasons I tepidly support him for the nomination. Here are some of the rules that Obama and progressives should look to

Hatchery Plot [Dan Collins]

We’re all going to be reading a lot about this, is my guess: Three federal employees are being investigated for unlawful political activities after they allegedly sent an e-mail falsely accusing Barack Obama of being a “radical Muslim,” the Globe has learned. The US Office of Special Counsel – the independent federal agency responsible for enforcing a law banning civil service workers from engaging in political activism while performing their

Dems 2008: Obama’s Nation of Islam dog-whistle? [Karl]

As the South Carolina primary campaign built to a climax, Sen. Barack Obama addressed a largely African-American audience in Sumter: Obama used the friendly setting to urge voters not to be fooled by what he said were untruths coming from Hillary Clinton’s campaign. “They’re trying to bamboozle you. It’s the same old okey-doke,” he said, using a slang phrase for a con. “Y’all know about okey-doke, right? It’s the same

Dems 2008: What is Hillary Clinton’s position on Xenu?

Hugh Atkin has followed up his Bowie-based presidential debate video with a mash-up of Sen. Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire and Tom Cruise’s Scientology PR video.  Freaky.

Lee Siegel Interviewed at WSJ [Dan Collins]

Mr. Siegel, 50 years old, made headlines several years ago when he was a staff writer at New Republic. As he describes in his introduction, anonymous readers were using the Talkback section of a culture blog he wrote to launch vile, over-the-top attacks upon him. Mr. Siegel then created his own pseudonym, and used it to attack his enemies and praise himself. He says that he was goaded into action

National Health Care [Dan Collins]

Smokers, heavy drinkers, the obese and the elderly should be barred from receiving some operations, according to doctors, with most saying the health service cannot afford to provide free care to everyone. Of course, that would never happen here, if we socialized further.  Oh, no!  Our bureaucrats are shinier.   Blue Crab Blvd and Belmont Club have more.

Dems 2008: SC analysis and look toward Super-Duper Tuesday [Karl]

As usual, RCP’s Jay Cost has an insightful analysis of the results in South Carolina, looking at the racial factor, but more broadly looking at Sen. Barack Obama’s ability to get white votes through the campaign (esp. in Nevada) and concluding with thoughts about the relative strength of the black and Hispanic votes in the Super-Duper Tuesday states (more than making up for his prior omission of the Hispanic vote
