First, this: Appearing on Laura Ingrahams’s show this morning, George Will made the following observations (paraphrased): 1) Despite what the polls are saying, there are only 3 top tier Republican candidates remaining for the 2012 GOP Presidential nomination: Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and John Huntsman (in a Gallup poll released today, Pawlenty is at 6% and Huntsman at 2%; Sarah Palin, meanwhile, gets 15% and Herman Cain 8%). Romney, you

…who we thought they were. This President has turned the country into a high school cafeteria, with the various status groups relegated to their own exclusive tables. It’s really fucking sad. (thanks to JD)

Here. Exclusively, it seems. At least for now. Our mainstream media is an enemy of truth and liberty. Simple as that.

Forty dollars my ass, honey. Hump day is the people’s day! And you can tell that bourgeois capitalist pig you call a pimp I said so, too! — Just give me, like, five minutes to get out to my car first, if you wouldn’t mind.

— all of them conspiring to make the smartest President ever! look less like a Citizen of the World (his Irish accent notwithstanding) and more like a posturing phony whose media-made magical veneer continues to crumble around him. So dignified, our sonorous leader is.

If only someone had seen this coming and warned ag’n it. The Washington Examiner: We thought that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s attempt to reform Medicare had struck a fatal blow against the “third rail” mentality in Washington — that cultural defect whereby politicians run in terror from anything new, no matter how necessary it is.

It’s time to stop pandering to seniors and work to inform them. And I think much of the panic on the right today is due to the realization that we don’t trust the resolve of politicians on our own side. Thanks again, Newt! (thanks

National Journal: Democrat Kathy Hochul has upset Republican Jane Corwin in a special election to fill the seat of former Rep. Chris Lee, R-N.Y., in a race that became something of a referendum on the GOP budget plan that revamps Medicare. […] The race to replace Lee, who resigned in February after a gossip site reported the married congressman had replied to a Craigslist personal ad, wasn’t supposed to be

Well, no, not really. More like embarrassed for it. But you get the idea. A naked emperor in an armored paper weight. Christ, when will this nightmare end? **** update: meant to add this earlier, but it gets worse. Listen to O’Bama trying on his Irish accent as he greets the press and onlookers: Honestly. I’m shocked he didn’t show up in a little green suit and knickers and a

…got a D in Natural Sciences while at Harvard, and the President of these, our 57 United States, is evidently still fixated on the cancellation of Shark and Cavemen. Yet these are the people we entrust as guardians of our liberties? Sorry. But the fuck?
