Reports are the Broncos are going to win the Peyton Manning sweepstakes, then look to trade Tim Tebow and Tebowmania. I have a suggestion for John Elway and the Broncos, as well as for Jacksonville, who really should be interested in Tebow, who will help immediately fill the stands and bring needed media attention to the Jaguars: Tim Tebow for Blaine Gabbert. The Broncos need a young backup to Manning,
“Free Sterilizations Must be Offered to All College Women, Says HHS”
And by “free,” they mean they’ll take the credit for mandating others pay for it. BECAUSE OF THE WAR ON WOMEN! CNS: ll student health care plans covering female college students in the United States must include coverage for free voluntary sterilization surgery, the Department of Health and Human Services announced late Friday afternoon. Women of college age who do not attend school will also get free sterilization coverage whether
“We have to prepare for a decades-long fight to the death.”
Against conservatives. Here in the U.S. Fortunately, this admonition wasn’t uttered by some rightwinger, whose substandard morality has with certainty been gauged by his political inclinations — and was instead uttered by a progressive professor, whose resolute goodness cannot be questioned, thanks to his willingness to identify as a progressive, and to show fidelity to the progressive belief structure. — The upshot being, DU creative writing Professor Brian Kiteley doesn’t
Romney on the economy: “I believe we’re in recovery mode”
This is the tack Romney’s going to take — to accept fully the left’s narrative frame about a recovering economy and then work to attack it along its periphery with complaints that it took a longer time than it had to? Really? Really? Because isn’t that what Obama himself is saying — that the economy was worse off than he believed initially, and that therefore the recovery, now finally gaining
Failed GOP presidential candidate and “maverick” Senator John McCain to Republicans / conservatives:
Liberty is not a winning issue. Run from it! Pragmatism. (h/t JD)
Progressivism and the authoritarian impulse
Performed rather perfectly by Stanley Fish, who — because he has spent an academic career immersed in the insular logic of the linguistic turn — is able to comfortably slide into a description of benevolent “liberal” tyranny that he counsels his fellow travelers (satirically?) to embrace. To which I answer, well, at least he’s honest about what it is progressives are doing. Fish: If we think about the Rush Limbaugh
“Obama Executive Order: Peacetime Martial Law”?
The full text of the EO is here. From Kenneth Schortgen Jr, The Examiner: Executive Orders created for national defense and national preparedness are not new in American history, but in each instance they brought about a Constitutional crisis that nearly led standing Presidents to hold dictatorial power over the citizenry. During the Civil War, President Lincoln halted freedom of speech and freedom of the press, while at the same
Obama loves me! Michelle told me so …[Darleen Click]
This cult of personality thing just keeps getting creepier: From: Michelle Obama [info@barackobama.com] To: Darleen Subject: “I love you back” Darleen — I see this happen a lot: Someone in a crowd yells at my husband, “We love you, Barack.” That’s when he interrupts himself, smiles really big, and says, “I love you back.” And he does. That’s why Barack’s dinners with supporters mean so much to him — because
Well, now
If even center rightists are saying we’ve lost the debate on birth control, it must be so. Time to tuck our tails between our legs and fold up our nativity scenes, Jesushumpers. Our party has more pressing issues to address. Like the economy. And tax breaks. Not all this distracting godbothery nonsense (that may or may not speak to the very core individual and religious liberty concerns this country was
First Annual Andrew Breitbart Coming Out Day [guest post by Gene Alexander]
My name is Gene Alexander. I was motionview. I can no longer remain anonymous, in part because I have been outed, though the outing is surely even more obscure than the work I’ve been doing at Fire Fifty, Atheists For Santorum, and protein wisdom. More importantly, I have come to accept the reality that if we will not stand up publicly and say the true things we know about Barack
