"Message to conservatives: When Politico’s Ben Smith is enamored with you, you’re doing it wrong."

Jen Rubin, please call your office.

"Kent State Professor Yells 'Death To Israel' At Event With Israeli Diplomat…"

Somewhere, Donny Deutsch’s ears are burning. Gee, I wonder what Richard Cohen would make of all this. My guess? He’d help the professor sew yellow stars on the sleeves of those who even took notice.

"Rioting in Downtown Oakland as Occupiers Clash with Police"

Zombie has exclusive video. Obama and the Dems desperately want to re-create the rioting of the 60s, to make the US feel like a tinderbox — at which time Obama will quietly remind businesses that he is all that stands between their property and the pitchforks. This video pleases him. And after 40+ years of having to look at Bernardine Dohrne, you can bet Bill Ayers’ intrepid little pocket hegemon

I get emails, (cont)

Today’s email comes from Jason Rosenbaum, DSCC Director of Online Communications. And he’s quite concerned. It seems evil is afoot, and greed has taken over the universe: Jeff, Last week, every Republican senator filibustered President Obama’s bill to put 400,000 educators and police officers back to work. You read that right: Teachers. And. Police. They’re getting ready to do it again. Soon, the Senate will vote to create good construction

"Paul Ryan declares war on Obama’s class-warfare campaign"

Push back.

"Obama defies base, hires Wall Street lobbyist for re-election campaign"

Aw. And here many of the Occupy Wall Street kids thought Obama the populist champion of the Working Man, leader of the 99% in their battle against the evils of rich people, Jews (but I repeat myself), and corporate Amerikkka. Although in Obama’s favor is this: they live in tents or on tarps and use stationary bicycles connected to dynamos to generate power. And they’re mostly very very dumb. So

"Club for Growth Raves Over Perry Plan"

Sometimes it takes an outsider, I guess. Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan — which brought to the table a proposal for real tax reform and was developed in part by Art Laffer — has now been followed up upon by Rick Perry’s flat tax proposal (Gingrich has one, as well), which has received the endorsement of Steve Forbes. Predictably, the left is smirking and sniffing and calling both plans “radical.” Also predictably,

Godzilla, Mothra, redux

“No One Died From Radiation Exposure at Fukushima, Top U.S. Regulator Says.” But of course, that doesn’t mean they won’t, sometime in the future. So we should still be concerned. But we shouldn’t panic. Because this might be a nuclear catastrophe of the highest order. Unless it isn’t. Which we can’t ever know — and even if we did, we should probably report it conditionally. With caveats and such. update:

I'm unconvinced "transparency" means what this Administration thinks it means

“Justice Dept. proposes lying, hiding existence of records under new FOIA rule”: A proposed revision to Freedom of Information Act rules would allow federal agencies to lie to citizens and reporters seeking certain records, telling them the records don’t exist. The Justice Department has proposed the change as part of a large revision of FOIA rules for federal agencies. Specifically, the rule would direct government agencies who are denying a

"2 teachers union lobbyists teach for a day to qualify for hefty pensions"

And why wouldn’t they? These public sector union gigs are tits! From the Chicago Tribune: Two lobbyists with no prior teaching experience were allowed to count their years as union employees toward a state teacher pension once they served a single day of subbing in 2007, a Tribune/WGN-TV investigation has found. Steven Preckwinkle, the political director for the Illinois Federation of Teachers, and fellow union lobbyist David Piccioli were the
