1. Re: politics. Well, what’s to say? The job situation is gloomy, the White House, the Dems, and the legacy media (but I repeat myself) continue to lie about it to the American people, and the GOP response is to run Mitt Romney, who is so busy apologizing for every potential misstep made by some right winger somewhere that he hasn’t the time to do much else. 2. On the

Obama’s imaginary girlfriend is really no surprise … [Darleen Click]
… making up a girlfriend as a plot device to prove his black bonafides … “In Dreams from My Father, Obama chose to emphasize a racial chasm that unavoidably separated him from the woman he described as his New York girlfriend,” Maraniss writes, offering a passage from the book in which they go to see a play by a black playwright: One night I took her to see a new

Addendum
…to McGehee’s post, below, behold! Speaking in Iowa in 2006, Sen. Barack Obama said, “I’ve had enough of using terrorism as a wedge issue in our politics.” He said the war on terrorism “isn’t supposed to crop up between September and November of even-numbered years.” But as president, Obama and his reelection campaign have consistently raised the issue — repeatedly referring to a 2007 comment by Republican presidential candidate Mitt

It’s not about credit, it’s about leadership [McGehee] (see update)
We’ve been treated, these last few days, to a new round of talk about football-spiking in light of the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s long-overdue departure from this mortal coil and his consequent deliverance to unblinking justice. President Obama has apparently decided to make the timing of said departure a campaign theme as he seeks re-election this November. His critics are arguing that he’s acting like the rooster that

Haven’t heard of Loyalty Day?
Well, it’s been an official holiday since the late 50s — and yet somehow when Obama re-proclaims it, it takes on a particularly creepy kind of vibe. — Probably because Obama is an obvious Marxist whose handlers played on white guilt and false promises of “pragmatism” to get him elected President of what used to be a very very anti-Marxist, pro free-market capitalism country. If I had to guess.

Dissent in the Praetorian Guard: WaPo’s Glenn Kessler takes on Obama [Darleen Click]
Exposes Obama as the Big Liar that Lies Big for what he is. First, Obama’s mendacity: I sent them a jobs bill that would have put hundreds of thousands of construction workers back to work repairing our roads, our bridges, schools, transit systems, along with saving the jobs of cops and teachers and firefighters, creating a new tax cut for businesses. They said no. I went to the Speaker’s hometown,

Q: What’s black and white and red all over?
A: Obama. Leafing through the New York Times. While sitting on a sunburned zebra. Seriously, people. These things are starting to write themselves. Forward!

“New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism”
Which means either 1) that we’re witnessing an unfortunate rhetorical and iconographic oversight by dullards unversed in political history who, in hoping to see a Good Man re-elected, inadvertently coopted a favorite slogan of the Marxists; or 2) fuck it, may as well just lift the veil and expose the angry red face of Utopian socialism and it’s vision of a goose-stepping historical inevitability, and let the liberal fascist chips

The “father of peace studies” figures out the world’s problems
Not at all surprisingly, it’s the Jews. — Which, if your kid gets into a proper university and decides to major in peace studies, he or she will have to pay upwards of $200K to learn, memorize, and repeat. So by noting it here, gratis, I just saved them a boatload of Benjamins. Don’t mention it. It’s what we Jews are good at.

“Dolphin who got stuck in California wetlands may be the victim of BULLYING”
Its only crime? It wanted to shove its bottle nose into Brad Pitt’s asshole, lovingly, without being judged. And a repressive and bigoted pod of conservative Christian dolphins refused to let it! At least, that’s how Dan Savage tells it. (h/t Dan Collins)
