Aldo points me to this bit from Glenn Reynolds in which Professor Reynolds notes, as I too have been noting for some time now, that, on the whole, the mainstream press has abandoned the last pretense of objectivity and is openly advocating for an Obama presidency, and so for complete “progressive” control of the government (with the SCOTUS being a temporary outlier). And this advocacy on the part of the

First, His supporters liked to teach the world to sing — using kids as political pawns. Now this, from the New York Post: The teachers union has been handing out thousands of Barack Obama campaign buttons to its members, sparking a clampdown by education brass. The Department of Education – which has a long-standing policy barring teachers from wearing campaign buttons in schools – is set to send out an

Nothing we haven’t heard before, really, but at least people are starting to gather it all into one place and attach it to a thesis of sorts. From Investor’s Business Daily: Barack Obama wasn’t just the second-largest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac political contributions. He was also the senator from ACORN, the activist leader for risky “affirmative action” loans. Despite efforts to blame the rescue bill’s failure on

Or is it actually McCain she’s stumping for? I think a case can be made for either. View and discuss. At any rate, she’s forgiven — at least by me. Very few comics around play the self-conscious of being self-conscious game as well as Sarah does, which makes her a grand master in her field, even if her politics may (or may not) be puerile. Plus, JEWS! (h/t RWS)

Word of advice: when a neighbor asks you what you’re planning for Halloween, never, ever say “getting ripped on Jim Beam, then fucking me the hell out of some of them subdivision jack-o-lanterns, with their hot, orange, come hither grins.” Not even in jest. Unless, that is, you enjoy visits from Child’s Services. Developing…

From Dan, who counsels, “Let’s render them meaningless, instead of instruments of propaganda.” Me, I’m glad to say I’ve been doing my part for years — though out of laziness, admittedly, rather than in the service of some higher ideological calling. In fact, Rasmussen phoned the other day, and I told the automated lady asking the questions that I’d love to help, but that just then wasn’t a particularly good

From Reut Cohen, PJM: On September 18, Metro State College in Denver announced that campus officials would investigate a college professor who assigned an essay in an English composition course which explicitly called for a critique of the Republican vice-presidential candidate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. According to students, their instructor, Andrew Hallam, told them that their assignment was to write an essay to critique the “fairy tale image” of the

Video via Hot Air. Cautions Ed Morrissey: The ACORN connection is an interesting political story more than a financial issue now. It reveals the tactics of Obama and his allies, in a way that makes the recent story of Obama’s Truth Squad thuggery more understandable. Obama doesn’t represent a post-partisan brand of New Politics, but instead the Saul Alinsky tactics of the New Left radicalism that erupted in the 1960s.

Hmm. What to make of this: Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks. It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when
