From “Tongaroo” again: Dood…if you’re so certain you got me pegged with your mad googling skills, come out here and show me how big a man you are…or are you afraid? You’re nothing but a pussy pseudo-intellectual, who thinks since a bunch of mouthbreathing morons worship your cock-slapping antics, that you actually have something of worth to contribute. Pfffffft. To which I reply, is there anything more sad than having

CNN: Verizon Wireless has fired employees connected to a breach of records from a cell phone used by President-elect Barack Obama this year, a Verizon source said Friday.

Jules Crittenden: Hard Times for Lefty Peaceniks. Oh. And buy books. Before, like, Sarah Palin burns them all.

From the AP, “Wash. regulators ask: Can blogging be lobbying?” Blogger beware? State regulators are wondering whether online political activism amounts to lobbying, which could force Web-based activists to file public reports detailing their finances.

Jules Crittenden argues that PE Obama owes a debt of gratitude to George Bush — and that Obama would be wise to recognize what good Bush has done and incorporate it into his own administration’s policies. From “A Time for Thanksgiving,” the Weekly Standard: In foreign policy, possibly embarrassed by the eagerness with which the world’s most vile regimes have welcomed his election, Obama is backing off his many promises

“The View’s” Joy Behar — who once became enraged at a guest scientist whose job it was, for one particular segment, to look for germs in the lady’s personal bathrooms and found fecal matter in Behar’s toothbrush (true story) — puts on her old public school teacher persona and talks her some sophomoric shit about “demented” home schooled children. — Which, I guess if you’re brushing your teeth with it,

With a nifty bit of juxtaposition, John Tabin fleshes out what I have written on elsewhere, namely, the danger that statist “conservatives” like Mike Huckabee pose to the real aims of the classical liberal movement.

WSJ: Mr. Waxman, speaking for the upscale precincts of Beverly Hills, wants to phase out coal and cars that use gasoline. The coastal elites who now dominate Democratic politics will happily trade the blue collar for the green collar.
