Time for Jesse and Al to tuck their shameless tails between their legs and scuttle off back to nicely-appointed race hustling headquarters. But maybe they can grab a free big screen first. FOR JUSTICE! Powerline: Yesterday, after reciting what appears to the Darren Wilson’s account of his shooting of Michael Brown, I wondered whether any witnesses would back Wilson’s version which, I imagined, would be contradicted by Brown’s friends. Now

News from the 9th fairway: “White House knew ISIS planned to kill James Foley”
Imagine! When you signal you have no intention of really doing any kind of heavy military retaliation against the march of the Caliphate, the Caliphate becomes emboldened. But no worries, the Administration is working to “authenticate” the video (one of Foley’s friends has already done so, but hey, if they can stretch this out long enough, Obama can finish his vacation, and, you know, priorities), and once they do, they’ll

HuffPo has an article up saying of course Rick Perry committed egregious felonies. Waste of time, so I’m not linking here. However, Eugene Volokh, who has covered this earlier, today offers up some analysis of Perry’s so-called “impermissible motive” which is what the fascist Democrats (but I repeat myself) are hanging their tinfoil hats on. Rather, the theory is that there’s some broad unfaithfulness or impropriety in what the Governor
Religion of Peace™ JV Team beheads American photojournalist [Darleen Click]
RIP James Foley James Foley, an American journalist who went missing in Syria more than a year ago, has reportedly been executed by the Islamic State, a militant group formerly known as ISIS. A YouTube video and photos purportedly of Foley emerged on Tuesday. The video — entitled “A Message to #America (from the #IslamicState)” — identified a man on his knees as “James Wright Foley,” and showed his beheading.
So. Will Hillary Clinton’s “Bill and I are po’ folk, too!” schtick bamboozle in 2016?
Not if local reporters like this one keep speaking Truth to cronyism and neo-aristocratic indulgences. Sorry, but the “let’s hide Barack away” strategy ain’t gonna work with Hillary. At least, I hope not. Of course, I suppose that depends on who the GOP nominates. Because I get the feeling, say, McCain would indeed volunteer to hold her crown for her.
“NYT Editoral Board: The Indictment Against Rick Perry ‘Appears’ to be ‘Overzealous'”
That’s progressive-speak for “I think the comrades in Austin may have overstepped this time.” After the Walker recall attempt, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and now the clearly political and demonstrably legally phony “indictment” of a sitting governor, the American people — especially those who voted for Obama twice — are perhaps ready to wake up to the fact that “hope and change” carries with it the implicit subtext,

BREAKING: Libs as willing as GOP establicans to throw their own under the bus?
Well, yes and no. With expedience being the key factor. Obama, the once charismatic black man who could parrot academic argot, filibuster substantive questions, subsist in an incurious media environment on banal blandishments and bumpersticker policy, and wore such a nice crease in his pants, is on the outs. But don’t be fooled: that’s only because he is literally on the outs in a couple years, and his obvious flaws
Harry Reid finds that he may not be eaten last, after all!
Just do the Lightbringer’s bidding. And shut up. The man has to work on his wedge. Tell me, Harry. How does it feel knowing you’ve been nothing but the Imperial court’s primary concubine for the last 5 years? Still telling yourself your ass hurts constantly from hemorrhoids?
