It’s like Pravda, only without the inherent Russian masculinity. NYT: The quotations come back redacted, stripped of colorful metaphors, colloquial language and anything even mildly provocative. They are sent by e-mail from the Obama headquarters in Chicago to reporters who have interviewed campaign officials under one major condition: the press office has veto power over what statements can be quoted and attributed by name. Most reporters, desperate to pick the

“The Fancy Hotels & Luxurious Headboards of Elizabeth Warren’s Campaign”
Hey, what’s a little bottled water and bedroom luxury when your people were slaughtered and their land stolen from them by the White Man? You owe us. **** update: Everybody sing! Cherokee people / Cherokee pride

America’s brides: Unpatriotic, like totally [Darleen Click]
I mean, you’d think they’d know that just because they call it “their” wedding, they don’t really own it President Obama’s bizarre marriage-theme fund-raising scheme — where he asks couples to request campaign donations from their guests in lieu of wedding gifts — has been a total flop. The desperate initiative, dubbed “the Event Registry,” is being mocked by event planners and couples — and shows how desperate the Obama

Obama: “If you’ve got a business-you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” [Darleen Click]
Another telling nugget from Barry that marks him as a full-fledged member of the coveting Left There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must

Money for nothing, votes for free … [Darleen Click]
In case you missed Obama’s latest flipping-of-the-bird towards the rule of law, Barry probes new depths of cynicism with this latest gimmick. Obama weakens welfare reform (again): Here are some quick initial reactions to the administration’s apparent surprising (and possibly illegal) attempt to grant waivers of the work requirements written, after great effort, into the 1996 welfare reform law. I’m posting Thursday night; the story should break for real tomorrow

IDs to vote? Racist poll taxes meant to disenfranchise minority voters who can’t figure out where to have a picture ID taken (but CAN figure out how to get to the polling place and vote for Democrats)
Whereas, IDs for chickens? Mandatory. No word yet on whether Justice plans to bring suit against the Agriculture Department for their outrageous, anachronistic chicken racism — or will instead just keep quiet and thank the lord for Chic-fil-A like the rest of us.

While I’m waiting for the FN FNX 45 Tactical to come to market…
I think I’m going to pick up one of these. Anybody have one?
