Headline of the Day (CraigC)

“Dwarf Accused of Pimping Runaway.” Frankly, I think they buried the lede on this one.  Girlfriend’s nickname is “Shorty.”  You’d think that with all the “Shaniquas” and “D’ontes” in the projects, they could try a little harder.  I do like the fact that the guy who commented is named Reginald, though.

Bush’s Historical Legacy [Dan Collins]

From The Telegraph via Hot Air’s news links: No one – least of all Bush himself – denies that mistakes were made in the early days after the (unexpectedly early) fall of Baghdad, and historians will quite rightly examine them. But once the decades have put the stirring events of those years into their proper historical context, four great facts will emerge that will place Bush in a far better

Inauthentic blackness?

What this brother needs is a nice tongue lashing from thor, our resident expert on other people’s grubby-hearted racism. Or maybe a basketball. You know — whatever it takes to get his black ass back out of Tara and back onto the plantation. Or the black top. fO! shizzle! (h/t STACLU)

Hopey McChangerson’s unilateralist cowboy diplomacy [Karl]

The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler reports that European officials are quietly starting to freak out over what a Barack Obama presidency – and its promised direct, unconditional talks with Iran — would mean with respect to the Iranian nuclear threat: “Dropping a unanimous Security Council condition would simply be interpreted by Iran and America’s allies as unconditional surrender, and America’s friends would view this as confirmation of America’s basic unreliability,” said François Heisbourg,

Socialists made eugenics fashionable [Karl]

At Canada’s National Post, Michael Coren reports on “Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race” — a new exhibit at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa on the role of the elites that “gave a grimy intellectual veneer to the Nazi genocide”: The exhibit is important, accurate but, regrettably, long overdue. It also fails to stress just how much the socialist left initiated and supported the eugenics campaign, not only in

Oh, the Ironing (With Apologies to Sondra) [CraigC]

Ok, so it wasn’t an ambulance, but still…..

The NYT does a pretty lame Obama organization story [Karl]

Is this really the best the New York Times can do for the big Sunday edition?  The answer is “no,” if for no other reason than that the NYT has done better stories on Barack Obama’s campaign organization than this sleepwalker. Camp Obama is still claiming that they will be running that 50-state strategy.  The New York Times did that story lamely two weeks ago — and it was still

Equal Parental Rights Bike Trek Press Release [Dan Collins]

Lary Holland sends along this press release: Oakland County, Michigan ———- Children’s and Parent’s Rights organizations from across the nation are scheduled to descend on Washington DC this August 15 & 16 at the Upper Senate Park. Why? Because government policies do not reflect what is truly best for children and good parents. The event is bringing the major issues facing parents to the legislators’ doorsteps, their backyards, and their offices.
