“Catch and Release for Low-Priority Illegals Proposed”

Like certain tiny fish, almost. Because in this new United States of The Law is What We Decree It to Be, illegally entering the country — to compete off-book for jobs that don’t even exist in adequate numbers for younger Americans — is no longer a dealbreaker for a potential Obama voter. Or most Mexican National Team soccer fans. Still, we need to at least make an attempt to appear

8.1 on the Cognitive Dissonance scale [Darleen Click]

The Occupy movement, the darling of Democrats and their fellow travelers in the media, “famous” for filth, vandalism and rape, are also in favor of child sex-trafficking. On Wednesday, June 13, members of the Occupy movement protested against a conference dedicated to combatting child sex trafficking — thus, the Occupiers in essence were coming out in favor of one of society’s most loathsome moral crimes. The protesters mostly were members

“9 Tall Tales From Barack Obama’s Memoir”

Honestly, is anybody terribly surprised by this? I suspect the crew at Lawyers, Guns, and Money — who were so desperate to villify Jack Cashill for his literary forensic work — will spend the next couple weeks informing us, in their best dismissive academic speak and sneering hand waves, how fabulism marshaled in the service of a particular narrative theme, even in the service of a putative autobiography (well, one

President Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History [Darleen Click]

Forbes The U.S. has never before had a President who thinks so little of the American people that he imagines he can win re-election running on the opposite of reality. But that is the reality of President Obama today. Waving a planted press commentary, Obama recently claimed on the campaign stump, “federal spending since I took office has risen at the slowest pace of any President in almost 60 years.”

“Tell on me” [Darleen Click]

SNL can only wish they were this sharp anymore … Bravo, Latma, bravo! h/t Smitty

Living in a Father’s Paradise [Darleen Click]

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum

A modicum of common sense set in. Sadly, it’s likely too little, too late.

“The book belongs in the category of literature and memoir, not history and autobiography. The themes of the book control character and chronology.” [Darleen Click]

So writes David Maraniss of Barack Obama’s putative autobiography Dreams of my Father Maraniss’s Barack Obama: The Story punctures two sets of falsehoods: The family tales Obama passed on, unknowing; and the stories Obama made up. The 672-page book closes before Obama enters law school, and Maraniss has promised another volumne, but by its conclusion I counted 38 instances in which the biographer convincingly disputes significant elements of Obama’s own

Happy Father’s Day, redux

Unless you’re Hitler. Or some of his confederates. — Then it’s not been the best of weeks, frankly. (thanks to geoffb)

Happy Father’s Day [Darleen Click]

As much as certain factions of contemporary society attempt to demean, diminish or dismiss the role of father in furtherance of a political ideology, we know better. For all the fathers, grandfathers, uncles and step-dads — indeed any man who has assumed the important and vital role of raising children with a balance of discipline, humility, respect and love — we publicly honor you today.
