As the Media Research Center calls on Congress to launch an investigation into Comcast/NBC News’ journalistic fraud over its reporting in the Trayvon Martin case — 911 call audio was edited to suggest a racial element that the unaltered audio did not, eg., — the UN has decided it is appropriate to weigh in as well, only it has evidently given itself leave to speak as if the facts aren’t

The article to which Derbyshire’s piece was a response. Incidentally, I should add that my comment on the Steyn article — pointing out that Derb’s article isn’t “indefensible” — never made it through moderation. Take that for what it’s worth. And this, too.

That’s not much of a surprise, really. More of a surprise is that it turns out what will reelect him is “the promise of free fish tacos and a year’s worth of HBO.” Well, if you’re talking about my vote, at least. — Which, hey, don’t judge, lest ye wish to be judged, is all’s I’m saying.

From the Independent Women’s Voice: On Friday, President Obama hosted something called the “White House Forum on Women and the Economy.” The most galling statement he made at the event was undoubtedly his proclamation that, “women are not some monolithic group, women are not an interest group,” while subsequently hosting a forum that treats women as just that.

And he did so because he knew we were — as I think this episode is proving, particularly in the way it is dividing those “on the right,” many of whom chided Holder for those remarks at the time but who now vindicate him and his attempt at rhetorical bullying. The fact is, any real

Well, they aren’t, but that’s just because I don’t get out much. And when I do, I live in Colorado. But they could be, under the right circumstances. And that’s what matters. At any rate, seems like today’s a good day to smear that particular jot of lamb’s blood on my door jam. I hear the Angel of Death is out purging, so, you know, why risk it?

This started as a comment, but I’m going to post it here so that you all can discuss while I recover from my rancid stomach ailment. So. First, let me say this: Derb’s article is “controversial” in the same way Juan Williams’ noting that he gets a bit frightened on a plane when he sees Arabs in the row in front of him tugging at their vests was controversial. Meaning,

Once again, the Obama Administration has hit on a way to fix a horrific jobs market: play with perceptions by playing with numbers! At this rate, Obama is hoping to see an additional 4 million people leave the workforce by, say, September or October.
