A few days back, CNN’s Candy Crowley said the Romney/Ryan ticket “looks a little bit like some sort of ticket death wish”. Which I’ll be happy to declare a neutral and “objective” bit of journalistic analysis once she declares that the Jugears McFoodstamp/ Joe’s Empty Stupid Lunchbox ticket running as encumbants “lookx a little bit like some sort of bad Martin Lawrence buddy flick, only with a shitload more socialism.”

“Obama co-opts free-market rhetoric to boost health law”
Wait, you mean control over the language matters? And here I was told such an assertion was fundamentally unserious. Washington Times: […] in a new twist, Obama has decided to co-opt free-market rhetoric to promote his big-government polices. Here’s what Obama had to say to say last Wednesday at a campaign event in Colorado: “Now, let me tell you something, Denver — I don’t think your boss should get to

Oh my!
“REPORT: Illegal Aliens Left 1,000 Tons of Trash Along AZ Border LAST YEAR”. Here’s my fantasy: a 5-round cage fight between a family of noble, law-breaking Mexicans just yearning to be free (and to be free of their cumbersome, freedom-slowing churro wrappers, which other noble, law-breaking people willing to do jobs Americans won’t do can then clean up) and some aged and noble Native Americans, whiskey drunk, feather-bedecked, and with

Compare and contrast
I presented you with the real DNC characterization, by way of Debbie Wasserman Schultz (and her pet poodle, Mr Tinkles, who sleeps curled up on her scalp) of Paul Ryan earlier; now here’s NRO’s Peter Kirsanow ostensibly parodying the New Left Democrat Party’s attempt to “frame” for us a “narrative” of the Romney candidacy. The real problem with Romney, as Kirsanow tells us, . . . is not so much

Feature or Bug?
Under ObamaCare directive, 15-year-olds in Oregon can request and be given sterilization without parental consent or notification. The Leftist Utopian Daddystate cares, you see. About “privacy rights.” And if fighting for such “privacy rights” for teens who in other circumstances aren’t permitted soft drinks or cupcake sales in their junior high schools means “progressives” get to keep the Dream of Margaret Sanger alive? Well, you know — bonus!

Debbie Wasserman Schultz becomes a parody of a parody of herself
I was all set to point to the litany of flat-out falsehoods and misinformation DNC Chair Ms Wasserman Schultz and her unfortunate hair dished out to CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, but the truth is, why go further than simply highlighting this? When prompted to respond to what GOP voters supposedly like about VP choice Paul Ryan, Schultz unpacked her adjectives: “Well, what makes severely conservative extreme Republicans delighted makes seniors here

“… faith, family and neighborliness really do seem to fill the role that liberals usually assign to the state.” [Darleen Click]
Ross Douthat on Romney’s Mormonism Start with Romney the man, so often dismissed as hollow, cynical and inauthentic. His various political reinventions notwithstanding, Romney clearly does have deep convictions: the evidence is in his intense commitment to his church, as a local leader and as a philanthropist. Between the endless hours of unpaid, “love thy neighbor” efforts required of a Mormon bishop and the scope of his private generosity, the
