You fucked up. You trusted us!: The Obama Administration has abruptly sealed court records containing alarming details of how Mexican drug smugglers murdered a U.S. Border patrol agent with a gun connected to a failed federal experiment that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico. This means information will now be kept from the public as well as the media. Could this be a cover-up on the part of the

Big Government GOPism
Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) says obesity is a threat to America’s “national security”. And the only way to fix this problem is to get the government involved. For the children. And for the country. Ggack. Here’s an idea. Instead of getting the government involved yet again — because let’s face it, they’ve already involved themselvs, having created a feminized culture in their previous war on boys, on
Eric Holder: no, I never read those Fast and Furious Memos. Was too busy reading about how I hadn't read them to pay them any mind, in fact
The Daily Caller, “Holder lashes out at The Daily Caller while refusing to address growing calls for his resignation”: Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder today demanded The Daily Caller stop publishing articles about the growing calls in Congress for his resignation because of the failed Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking program. As Holder’s aide was escorting the attorney general offstage following his remarks Tuesday afternoon at the White House, a
a small observation to begin the day
A prominent conservative on Twitter, playing to the whole right-side Twittersphere, writes, “Time for Cain to go away. Continuous smoke is nearly as bad as fire.” Without getting into the specifics of Cain accusations, let me start by saying this is simply not so — and in fact is precisely the kind of dangerous thinking that will determine our ideological fate.* “Continuous smoke” may prove nearly as bad as fire
a small observation to end the day
Until we allow that not every candidate need be a polished career politician we’ll almost certainly get nothing but polished career politicians to choose from. And as that equation is the very way the status quo perpetuates itself, it’s fair to assume that those making such demands of our candidates by default also support the status quo. Out of habit or fear of change, is my guess. Which doesn’t make
My video of Occupy Denver attempt to break into BlogCon11 removed by Youtube
For a “privacy violation.” The irony, it folds back in on itself and threatens to tear the fabric of time, with a return of disco sure to follow. From YouTube: Hi there, Thanks for your email. We have removed the material in question for a privacy violation, pursuant to our Community Guidelines. It may take some time for video search results and thumbnail images to disappear from the site.

Here's how you know your country is over
The White House is able to pitch the media the idea that demanding the recusal of a SCOTUS Justice who, prior to her elevation to the Court, advocated for legislation she will be asked to rule on, is a right-wing political ploy — and the media doesn’t instantly break out into hysterical laughter. We are so over.
TIM TEBOW 2016! [UPDATED]
Because you won’t find any shit in his closet. And besides, it’ll be awesome watching Jen Rubin and the rest of the chattering, pragmatic, GOP Establishment Grandmasters of a Sane Status Quo forced to (at least pretend to) back a squeaky-clean, godbothering social con because they simply can’t find any dirt on him that they can credibly use to take his unsophisticated, hick ass down. Or else they can do
"RED ALERT: Deputy A.G. behind 'Fast and Furious' met with President Obama four times during the height of the operation"
Posted this to Twitter last evening, but for those who haven’t already seen it, there’s this interesting time line from Doug Ross, who concludes with a summary and a follow-up question pertaining to what he found: Summary: In early 2010, Gary Grindler was intimately involved in all aspects of Operation Fast and Furious. During the height of the operation, Grindler visited the President on four separate occasions in only two
"Herman Cain ‘Re-Assessing’ Campaign"
Robert Costa at NRO has the transcript of this morning’s Cain conference call. Stacy McCain, alas, was forced to borrow from it. Of note: Cain still denies sexual relations with that woman, Ms. White. So there’s that. And now here we are: a GOP primary race that is coming down to 1) a pro-Amnesty, pro-ethanol subsidy uber Beltway insider who, while clearly smart, is also too clever by half —
