First heard this on Mark Levin, but here’s the video (courtesy of The Blaze), just so you know who it is we’re up against. Keep in mind as you listen to/watch these clips, this rhetoric isn’t coming from Farrakhan from his “pulpit,” or from Sharpton figureheading a store front wilding: these are US Congressmen, and their attacks and accusations are against US citizens engaged in peaceful assembly for the purpose

Allan Lichtman, the American University professor whose election formula has correctly called every president since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election, has a belated birthday present for Barack Obama: Rest easy, your re-election is in the bag….Lichtman developed his 13 Keys in 1981. They test the performance of the party that holds the presidency. If six or more of the 13 keys go against the party in power, then the opposing party

A bit wordy, that title, wouldn’t you say? Here, allow me: “Obama routinely bypasses Congress, conservatives say” You’re welcome. (h/t JD)

Ramesh Ponnuru: Controversy over whether our corporate taxes are high or low is matched by controversy over who pays them in the first place. This issue recently made the news when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney informed a heckler that people pay the corporate income tax. But which people?

A most ringing indictment on our political culture is the extent to which Powell and Fitzgerald are held up as heroes and, I’ll say it, honorable men — to the point where we’re to care who an opportunistic “Republican” like Powell is going to vote for in 2012, having publicly supported a left-wing socialist in 2008. That Scooter Libby was prosecuted while Richard Armitage wasn’t even been sanctioned for what

More literary detective work — though by now, Cashill just seems pissed that he even has to make the case, the evidence seems to him so overwhelming. Cashill: Prior to Dreams, and for the nine years following, everything Obama wrote was, like the above sentence, an uninspired assemblage of words with a nearly random application of commas and tenses. Yikes. Glad Cashill, along with others, aren’t going through my archives

Wait, so economic stagnation, high unemployment, and a dwindling of the private sector smells like Old Spice Stag? Who knew? What it doesn’t smell like is FUBU flannels and Sean Jean cologne. That’s a black thing. We wouldn’t understand.

As affirmative action programs go, at least this one comes with a stigma for applying. Besides, I’ve already got the rallying cry ready: We’re here and we can stop a train with our hideous, hideous faces, get used to it! Be a shame to pass up something that catchy.

I’m late to this, but so what. From The Guardian (UK): It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim. Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth’s atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a
