May I kindly suggest a run on Michael Moore’s feed cart, met inevitably with deadly force visited upon The People from his legion of private bodyguards? Could happen.
Obama's bid for re-election will require winning back independents
And the plan for doing that seems to be scapegoating wealthy “bankers,” “Wall Street,” and “the rich,” while relying on the media to present the “Occupy” movement as a genuine bit of grassroots populism and normalize it, so that it’s palatable to independents. To that end, we have Geithner playing his role: U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner suggested Friday that a new round of “dramatic enforcement actions” against Wall Street

"Watch GOP Frontrunner Mitt Romney Praise Liberal Lion Ted Kennedy For His Role In Passing RomneyCare"
I keep hearing Romney is the frontrunner and the inevitable nominee. And yet 70% of the Republican base simply doesn’t support him. All of which tells me that the GOP establishment, while it hasn’t learned to fight the left, has learned how to create and then provide support for a narrative they want to declare is an objective truth. Nice to see they can be taught, I guess. At any
Puppets and puppetmasters
Now that the left, with help from a complicit (and revoltingly romantic) media, have ginned up interest in the “Occupy Movement,” the next stage of perception is being forged — this time, with the help of professional organizers, to be followed by the various factions of the leftist movement, from NGOs to labor to the cynical, opportunistic politicians that hope to lend this attack on the capitalist system the legitimacy
"Post-DOJ Raid, Gibson Guitar CEO Considers Move Overseas"
“A truly proud country doesn’t measure itself by the things in creates, but rather by the power it grants to union bosses and politicians.” — things nobody has ever said.
This weekend: NYT Magazine article will outline GOP establishment's war against Tea Party to "take back their party"
George Will’s declaration that a GOP establishment doesn’t even exist hardest hit. Among those quoted, Bill Kristol, who calls the TEA Party an “infantile form of conservatism.” Along with GOP lobbyists who openly talk about how they hope to co-opt and control TEA Party rubes. I’ve been saying it for a while now: it’s the permanent political ruling class vs. the rest of us — and for establishment Republicans, it’s

An open question to "electability" types / professional pundits / GOP establishment
What is it about the last 3 years — and in particular, in the wake of the 2010 elections — that makes you think you can massage and finesse the GOP base into accepting and supporting a Romney nomination? A reminder to those getting caught up in the horse race aspect of 2012: Mitt Romney supported an individual mandate; Mitt Romney’s staffers helped Obama craft ObamaCare; Mitt Romney doesn’t see
Reuters: Soros money behind "Occupy" movement?
Once again, let me repeat: you can’t spell “useful idiots” without “idiots.” And “useful,” for that matter. Reuters: Anti-Wall Street protesters say the rich are getting richer while average Americans suffer, but the group that started it all may have benefited indirectly from the largesse of one of the world’s richest men. There has been much speculation over who is financing the disparate protest, which has spread to cities across
