Appetizer — The Tyranny of the Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas [Darleen Click]
I downloaded Jonah Goldberg’s new book this morning to my Kindle — just had lunch to start it. From the intro: There’s a kind of argument-that-isn’t-an-argument that vexes me. I first started to notice it on university campuses. I’ve spoken to a lot of college audiences. Often, I will encounter an earnest student, much more serious looking than the typical hippie with open-toed shoes and a closed mind. During the

Obama and Holder: The result is extortion by proxy [Darleen Click]
The only thing surprising about this is that Newsweak will be covering it. In an explosive Newsweek article set to rock official Washington, reporter Peter Boyer and Breitbart contributing editor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer reveal how Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice are operating under a “justice for sale” strategy by forgoing criminal prosecution of Wall Street executives at big financial institutions who just

VP Joe Biden expresses his approval of incestuous and polygamous marriages [Darleen Click]
Don’t-mess-with Joe on Meet the Press As more and more Americans come to understand what this is all about, it’s a simple proposition. Who do you love? Who do you love? Takes “simple” to a who new level.

France and Greece [bh]
The socialist Hollande knocked off Sarkozy in France and the Greek citizenry once again showed their incapacity to act as adults. What does this mean? Does it mark the true beginning of the end for the EU and the euro? Does it mark the latest development in the long, slow crunch? Sorry but it probably comes down to one of those two options. Discuss. Or talk about something else entirely.

I Met Her at a New Year’s Party in Soho . . . [Dan Collins]
She was a typical composite white girlfriend, but with better than average tits. No, the real problem with Dreams is the inexcusable dishonesty throughout the book. The promiscuous use of composites is merely a symptom of the larger problem. And if a man promiscuously uses composites, what will he not promiscuously use? Perhaps I’m in a sour frame of mind due to my conversation on Twitter last night with Kristin

Harvard pleads fifth on Elizabeth Warren [Darleen Click]
Honest Injun Harvard Law School lists one lone Native American faculty member on its latest diversity census report — but school officials and campaign aides for Elizabeth Warren refused to say yesterday whether it refers to the Democratic Senate candidate. Warren — who has been dogged by questions about whether she used her claims of Cherokee lineage to further her career — has insisted she never authorized Harvard Law to

Happy Treizième de Septembre [McGehee]
What would you say if I were to tell you that in Quebec, Canada, the 13th of September is celebrated by non-Americans as “American Independence Day” — though more normally called simply, “Treizième de Septembre”…? Their holiday commemorates the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812 — the same battle during which the British shelled Fort McHenry, and Francis Scott Key composed the poem that would become our national
Seis de Mayo [bh]
Many people aren’t exactly sure what Cinco de Mayo is all about. The short answer is that it was created so today you can experience vague, free-floating remorse for the things you assume you did last night but don’t actually remember. There are a couple ways of dealing with such shame. First, you can resolve to be a better person and, for once in your life, follow through. Second, you
