The sort of protest I’m sure that she would not have felt so free to perform under Saddam’s reign, don’t you think? The sort of protest it’s almost impossible for NPR’s listenership to grasp the shockery of. So, bravo! Warning: not safe for dhimmis

With such bureaucrats in it! A disabled foster child whose liver is failing has been removed from a Central Florida hospital’s organ-transplant waiting list because hospital administrators fear the state’s shaky child-welfare system cannot ensure he has a permanent home in which to recover. Shands Hospital in Gainesville removed the boy, 15, from a waiting list for organ recipients after administrators determined the boy’s unstable living conditions make him a

Respect for foreign cultures and their sometimes alien norms. A comic-book character popular in Mexico for generations has run into a cultural barrier at the border, where Americans see him as a racist caricature. Comic book character Memin Pinguin is “a disgrace,” an African-American activist says. For more than 60 years Mexicans have followed the adventures of “Memin Pinguin.” But the dark-skinned Memin’s exaggerated features in “Memin for President” came

Unpack this jive at leisure, baby: Apparently unaware of a hot microphone, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, made a crude and disparaging remark along the lines of wanting to rip Obama’s genitals off in reference to how Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., might be alienating African-Americans with various moral instructions. Jackson has issued this apology, saying: “For any harm or hurt that this

Malkin Award Nominee 09 Jul 2008 04:12 pm “[The progressive Democrats’ position on Iraq] was and is a craven, reprehensible act of cowardice, mirroring the shameful behavior of the Copperhead Democrats 140 years earlier who wanted to abandon Blacks to slavery in the South to sue for peace in the U.S. Civil War. The Copperheads of today’s Democratic Party color themselves “progressives” for championing the abandonment of a group of

Barack Obama largely dodged a question on bilingualism yesterday in Georgia by dismissing “English-only” laws and dialectically suggesting that our children need to speak Spanish,  because it’s embarrassing to him when Europeans come over here and can speak English, but we can’t speak French or German. Except he was less coherent, probably on purpose. Salon’s Andrew Leonard, anticipating the likely reaction, went on Offense for Obama: There’s nothing particularly exceptional about

Shockingly, the New York Times reports on misappropriated funds at two prominent national nonprofit groups — ACORN and the Points of Light Institute, noting a difference in how the groups dealt with their scandals: Acorn chose to treat the embezzlement of nearly $1 million eight years ago as an internal matter and did not even notify its board. After Points of Light noticed financial irregularities in early June, it took less

…Or maybe you can, I really didn’t bother to check, if you want the truth. Still, NBC’s Kenneth Strickland is reporting that Obamalot is beginning to look a lot like any other pedestrian political clubhouse, with our self-styled “progressive” hero King taking steps to insulate himself from the very kind of progressive stances that will almost certainly hurt him among moderate voters, should Maverick Johnny choose to exploit them. To

Ordered to pay $40k for filing frivolous lawsuit. Best part: Since leaving Congress in January 2003, Condit and his wife, Carolyn, relocated to Arizona. The Condit family ran two Baskin-Robbins ice cream stores, but have since been sued by the company over alleged management.[sic] A shining example of the competence of our Congresscritters. Just so you know, I DID see the possibility of the “The Scoop on Condit” title.

As a political analyst, Dick Morris is a great pollster.  However, it is worth considering his forecast of what an Obama administration would face from a Congress that will in all likelihood be more progressive, with more Democrats than it has now: Faced with the same situation in 1993, as he took office as president, Bill Clinton found no alternative but to move dramatically to the left, shelving for the moment his promises of
