Mark Levin had a few thoughts last night to open his show. And was anything but immediately dismissive. I was, I thought, quite circumspect in my original post on the topic — which didn’t keep some on the right from singling me out as among the hysterics concerned about an Obama power grab (while curiously failing to single out those closer to home for similar concerns more extensively articulated than

I hope you’re every bit as OUTRAGED by this kind of overt racism as I am and will take the appropriate actions. Like, for instance, maybe boycotting the next “Fockers” movie. — Assuming you had any inclination to rent it from Red Box in the first place, I mean. Too, I suggest that any non-racists outraged by these comments contact someone like, say, Soledad O’Brien and have her and her

And what it’s like actually to fight against one. Some perspective, for those who find it convenient rhetorically to confuse IUDs with IEDs. (thanks to James D)

Thing is, there is so much of this kinda stuff out there that, were it marshaled properly, would severely undercut Obama’s current attempts to pretend he’s the oil and gas President. Sadly, though, we have a GOP leadership and a Party establishment — including it’s putative presidential front runner — who would rather go forcefully after conservatives than Obama. And that’s not hyperbole, either: in recent weeks Mitt Romney has

Reports are the Broncos are going to win the Peyton Manning sweepstakes, then look to trade Tim Tebow and Tebowmania. I have a suggestion for John Elway and the Broncos, as well as for Jacksonville, who really should be interested in Tebow, who will help immediately fill the stands and bring needed media attention to the Jaguars: Tim Tebow for Blaine Gabbert. The Broncos need a young backup to Manning,

And by “free,” they mean they’ll take the credit for mandating others pay for it. BECAUSE OF THE WAR ON WOMEN! CNS: ll student health care plans covering female college students in the United States must include coverage for free voluntary sterilization surgery, the Department of Health and Human Services announced late Friday afternoon. Women of college age who do not attend school will also get free sterilization coverage whether

Against conservatives. Here in the U.S. Fortunately, this admonition wasn’t uttered by some rightwinger, whose substandard morality has with certainty been gauged by his political inclinations — and was instead uttered by a progressive professor, whose resolute goodness cannot be questioned, thanks to his willingness to identify as a progressive, and to show fidelity to the progressive belief structure. — The upshot being, DU creative writing Professor Brian Kiteley doesn’t

This is the tack Romney’s going to take — to accept fully the left’s narrative frame about a recovering economy and then work to attack it along its periphery with complaints that it took a longer time than it had to? Really? Really? Because isn’t that what Obama himself is saying — that the economy was worse off than he believed initially, and that therefore the recovery, now finally gaining

Liberty is not a winning issue. Run from it! Pragmatism. (h/t JD)

Performed rather perfectly by Stanley Fish, who — because he has spent an academic career immersed in the insular logic of the linguistic turn — is able to comfortably slide into a description of benevolent “liberal” tyranny that he counsels his fellow travelers (satirically?) to embrace. To which I answer, well, at least he’s honest about what it is progressives are doing. Fish: If we think about the Rush Limbaugh
