Who says you have to elect the queen? Racists. CNS: Asked by Parade magazine, “What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?” First Lady Michelle Obama said she wants to “impact the nature of food in grocery stores” with the aim of cutting sugar, fat and salt. “With ‘Lets Move!,’ our goal is to end the problem of childhood obesity in a generation,” Mrs. Obama said. “And while

There was going to be an Elizabeth Warren / Billy Jack post here
But I can’t get WordPress in its latest incarnation to recognize the old template I used. So. Here’s what I was going to link to. And just so you know? The Elizabeth Warren / Billy Jack post I was going to write up would have been epic. Had I been able to get the template to work. Which I couldn’t. So you’ll just have to trust me. You would have

“Are Americans Better Off Today Than They Were Four Years Ago?” <--What, you racist or something? [Darleen Click]
The Obama Administration spokesholes were having some problems with the softly-pitched question. And the Lamestream media, desperate to circle the wagons around those Democrats that may have strayed off message, even gave do overs. But that’s just not good enough. This is a question that should not be asked If you hear a reporter ask people in President Obama’s administration, ideally in a belligerent tone, “are the American people better

AFSCME President accuses Republicans of abandoning “all pretense of compassion”, then assaults chair on stage [Darleen Click] UPDATED
Would someone please have Lee Saunders pee in a cup? You know, you just can’t make this sh*t up. The Cleveland native and national AFSCME president took an empty chair on stage, so early on the audience was prepared for some Eastwooding, a riff on actor Clint Eastwood’s surprising performance at last week’s Republican National Convention. “Are you ready to rumble?” Saunders roared by way of introduction. After a speech

Remember: the only serious candidates the GOP offered for President
…were Romney, Pawlenty, and Huntsman. The rest who showed up at the debates needed to get off stage and clear the field for the serious candidates. I think it might have been George Will who told me that. Or maybe Hugh Hewitt, I can’t remember. Regardless, these are the same kinds of pundits who push for a Lugar and a Dewhurst and a Charlie Crist (who is himself now backing

Happy Empty Chair Day [Darleen Click] UPDATED
My home in Southern California I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we — we own this country. We own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.” But I just think it is important that you realize , that you’re the best in the world. Whether

Love him, hate him, Newt shows how to take it to the Democrats [Darleen Click]
Note Tom Friedman’s weasel words when Newt confronts him, and his mumbled response when Newt won’t accept them.

Yep, how are those moderate Muslim Bros in Egypt working out for ya? [Darleen Click]
Jewish life in Egypt closed down due to “security” reasons. For the first time in 2,000 years, there will be no Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services at the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria in 5773, reports Daniel Greenfield in “In The Point.” This was the last active synagogue in Egypt. The Egyptian authorities’ excuse for the shut-down, effectively outlawing High Holiday services in the country, were “security” reasons. Levana

My kindhearted attempt to help that poor dear Kathleen Parker, who can’t seem to find any blacks
Okay. Here’t goes. And I expect it will be controversial. But then, so what? I’ve already been booted from polite GOP company for denying the basic decency of Obama and his academic progressivism early on. What are they going to do next, strenuously not link me? Writes Ms Parker, in one of her typically strained columns: Republicans were certain that Obama was all style over substance, but their criticisms quickly
