HOW SHOULD CONSERVATIVES deal with the Left’s disrespect? Personally, I prefer the “consequences” approach. A 2x4 upside the head -- hard.

FANTASY IN, FANTASY OUT: I like GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) myself, but this is certainly descriptive of the federal legislative process.

MALLARD FILLMORE: There’s this weird feeling that the voters are about to party like it’s 1994.

Uh, no. More like 1946.

ACORN BROKE NO CRIMINAL LAWS: “California Attorney General, former Governor, and Democrat Gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown says ACORN members 'exhibited terrible judgment and highly inappropriate behavior in videotapes' but 'didn't commit prosecutable crimes in California.'”

Dumping 500 pages of confidential records into the trash isn’t prosecutable? Failing to file a state tax return isn’t prosecutable?

Why am I not surprised? ACORN is a bought-and-paid-for subsidiary of the Democrats. Or are the Democrats a bought-and-paid-for subsidiary of ACORN? Either way, this is what happens when the government and a lobby are joined at the hip.

SPORTS FANS VOTE REPUBLICAN, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) fans don't vote. So WWE fans aren’t sports fans?

CHRISTIANS STAND UP TO GLENN BECK. According to Sojourners’ Jim Wallis, Glenn Beck has started a troubling battle with the nation's churches by calling social justice a code for communism and Nazism, and claiming that "social justice is a perversion of the Gospel."

If Beck had, from the beginning, made an argument for small government and private charity, none of us would have responded to him. But on his show this week he wrote on his blackboard: "My definition of social justice" is "the forced redistribution of wealth, with a hostility to individual property, under the guise of charity and/or justice." I doubt many churches in America would agree with that.

I should hope not. But the simple fact is that the progressive Left has co-opted the phrase “social justice” to mean exactly that. If Rev. Wallis wants it back, then he - and his religious brethren - should clearly, concisely, and precisely define the phrase as they wish it to be understood, and stop allowing it to be subverted.

A HEALTHY DOSE OF CATASTROPHE. Mark Steyn comments.

CALL IT “POSTMODERN.” It would be old-fashioned to call it "lying."

A CALL TO ARMS: for doctors ... and patients. How soon can I sign up?

MOTHER NATURE comments on TARP and the stimulus: dinosaurs weren’t “too big to fail.”

SIDE NOTE: tarps (tarpaulins) are usually used to cover things up.

WHY DON’T PRO-TAX TAXPAYERS pay more taxes?

Umm, because they’re pro-taxes for us, not for them?

TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE, we must remake the military in Obama’s image. The military must reflect the burgeoning civilian utopia it protects.

This could be funny if it weren’t so damned accurate.

LOVE WINS: whoever put this bumper sticker on her car obviously doesn’t play tennis.

YOU MAY LIKE that once-a-year “gift” from the IRS, buy it’s bad policy. Soon it will be a really bad policy.

ENVIRONMENTAL LUDDITES. I said it first; he said it better.

HMM. SO IF YOU support the ban, you are an anti-semitic, animal-rights, global-warming denialist?
