Here’s the full text of Obama’s “Teddy Roosevelt speech,” in which our Historic President once again tries to reinvent himself as a past President, having already tried passing himself off as the reincarnated spirit of Abe Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, JFK, Harry Truman, and Ronald Reagan (while all the time resembling Jimmy Carter with a tan, a bad golf game, and an inability to dribble with his left).

Latest "White House Insider" piece is out
Is it me, or does the dude sound a bit Carville-esque, as presented. Anyway, for what it’s worth. A teaser: Barack Obama ain’t ever learned that lesson. He’s been told since day one – been told life owes him something. Been told he’s special. Been told America is all wrong, that it needs to be changed up. Not just improved – hell, I would be the first to say it
Decade anniversary archive pluck, 4: the "yes, I'm still sick in bed" edition
Managed to cook and eat soup and keep most of it in my body. So things might be looking up. Still, I’m mostly in bed.

Sunday football open thread
Von Miller out for the Broncos. Lack of pressure on Ponder will lead to a trap game victory for the Vikings. Is my fear. You’re all free to fret about other things. Like, why won’t the Raiders just lose already?
Everything old is new again
When the world needs a scapegoat, it seems the Jews will always do just fine, thank you. From the Jerusalem Post: The study – “Intolerance, Prejudice, Discrimination: A European Report” –questioned roughly 1,000 people in each of the selected EU countries…. Asked to respond to the statement that “Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians,” 47.7 percent of the study’s participants in Germany expressed agreement – the
Decade Anniversary archive pluck, 2: inaugural Pajamas Media launch post (yes, at one point I was a supposed staple of the PJM family. Before I wasn't).
Liveblogging the Pajamas Media launch festivities from the W Hotel in New York, 1 My cab pulled up outside the W a little before 9 PM New York time, and after checking in and dropping my suitcase on the bed, I immediately made my way to the hotel bar, where I found Tim Blair, Roger Simon, and Ed Driscoll bunched around a small table near the restrooms.
