Harvard pleads fifth on Elizabeth Warren [Darleen Click]
Honest Injun Harvard Law School lists one lone Native American faculty member on its latest diversity census report — but school officials and campaign aides for Elizabeth Warren refused to say yesterday whether it refers to the Democratic Senate candidate. Warren — who has been dogged by questions about whether she used her claims of Cherokee lineage to further her career — has insisted she never authorized Harvard Law to

Happy Treizième de Septembre [McGehee]
What would you say if I were to tell you that in Quebec, Canada, the 13th of September is celebrated by non-Americans as “American Independence Day” — though more normally called simply, “Treizième de Septembre”…? Their holiday commemorates the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812 — the same battle during which the British shelled Fort McHenry, and Francis Scott Key composed the poem that would become our national

The ” ”The Jeff update post’ post,” from Jeff, who will be doing the updating and the posting” post
1. Re: politics. Well, what’s to say? The job situation is gloomy, the White House, the Dems, and the legacy media (but I repeat myself) continue to lie about it to the American people, and the GOP response is to run Mitt Romney, who is so busy apologizing for every potential misstep made by some right winger somewhere that he hasn’t the time to do much else. 2. On the

Obama’s imaginary girlfriend is really no surprise … [Darleen Click]
… making up a girlfriend as a plot device to prove his black bonafides … “In Dreams from My Father, Obama chose to emphasize a racial chasm that unavoidably separated him from the woman he described as his New York girlfriend,” Maraniss writes, offering a passage from the book in which they go to see a play by a black playwright: One night I took her to see a new

Addendum
…to McGehee’s post, below, behold! Speaking in Iowa in 2006, Sen. Barack Obama said, “I’ve had enough of using terrorism as a wedge issue in our politics.” He said the war on terrorism “isn’t supposed to crop up between September and November of even-numbered years.” But as president, Obama and his reelection campaign have consistently raised the issue — repeatedly referring to a 2007 comment by Republican presidential candidate Mitt

It’s not about credit, it’s about leadership [McGehee] (see update)
We’ve been treated, these last few days, to a new round of talk about football-spiking in light of the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s long-overdue departure from this mortal coil and his consequent deliverance to unblinking justice. President Obama has apparently decided to make the timing of said departure a campaign theme as he seeks re-election this November. His critics are arguing that he’s acting like the rooster that

Haven’t heard of Loyalty Day?
Well, it’s been an official holiday since the late 50s — and yet somehow when Obama re-proclaims it, it takes on a particularly creepy kind of vibe. — Probably because Obama is an obvious Marxist whose handlers played on white guilt and false promises of “pragmatism” to get him elected President of what used to be a very very anti-Marxist, pro free-market capitalism country. If I had to guess.

Dissent in the Praetorian Guard: WaPo’s Glenn Kessler takes on Obama [Darleen Click]
Exposes Obama as the Big Liar that Lies Big for what he is. First, Obama’s mendacity: I sent them a jobs bill that would have put hundreds of thousands of construction workers back to work repairing our roads, our bridges, schools, transit systems, along with saving the jobs of cops and teachers and firefighters, creating a new tax cut for businesses. They said no. I went to the Speaker’s hometown,

Q: What’s black and white and red all over?
A: Obama. Leafing through the New York Times. While sitting on a sunburned zebra. Seriously, people. These things are starting to write themselves. Forward!
