I'm listening to Senator Reid introduce the Democrat's health care bill.
Judging from his stuttering, stumbling, and evasive looking everywhere except at the camera, Reid doesn't believe a word he's saying.

JUSTICE CHICAGO-STYLE
In one of a series of TV interviews during his trip to Asia, [President Barack] Obama said those offended by the legal privileges given to [Khalid Shcikh] Mohammed by virtue of getting a civilian trial rather than a military tribunal won't find it "offensive at all when he's convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him."
Er, isn’t there this weird “presumption of innocence” concept in American jurisprudence?
Obama reminds me of the old 50’s westerns I used to watch as a kid. The sheriff rides up to the vigilante mob about to hang the rustler from the nearest tree and says “No, no. We’ll take him back to town, give him a fair trial, then hang him.”
And Bush was supposed to be the cowboy President.

GOOD FOR THEM
“The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it will be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District if the city doesn't change a proposed same-sex marriage law, .... Susan Gibbs, spokeswoman for the archdiocese, said Wednesday, ‘The city is saying in order to provide social services, you need to be secular. For us, that's really a problem.’"
More here: “The battles in which the church finds itself embroiled today are not simply about the underlying moral issues -- abortion and gay marriage -- but about more aggressive policies that might restrict the ability of the church and of individual Catholics to act according to Catholic teachings.”
It's past time to start pushing back against politically-correct government intervention.

Obama calls for revised Afghanistan war options.
Every Obama promise comes with an expiration date. Every one.
The man cannot - will not - make a decision.

AN ACORN FALLS IN LA
"[T]he ACORN story is far from over. There are more videos to come next week. You’ve seen the Baltimore story, the Philadelphia story, the New York story. Now you will know about the LA story."
This should be interesting.

FEAR OF THE (M)OTHER
Contextualizing Sarah Palin:
One of the most common attacks against those who failed to see Barack Obama as a shining demigod upon a hill was to psychologize an unflattering "fear of the other" onto them, but as you catalogue in detail there was quite a bit of hysteria about this "stranger from the strangest part of America" coming from those same ranks, no? How much projection was going on?Via Instapundit.

Obama marks election anniversary with sabbatical.
President Obama marked the one-year anniversary of his election by announcing he would take a nine-month sabbatical "to rest and refresh after a grueling year of staggering accomplishment."Biden would be an improvement
During the president's sabbatical, Vice President Biden will take over Obama's daunting schedule of daily news conferences, political fundraisers, television interviews, health care rallies, White House visits with important celebrities, and the other presidential duties as outlined in Article 2 of Constitution.
ABOUT TIME
Phyllis Chesler speaks the unspeakable:
It’s not “phobic” to be worried about Islam/Islamism. It is eminently rational, given that since 9/11, there have been more than 14,000 jihadic attacks against civilians around the world. This does not include battlefront statistics.Read it all.
ENOUGH!
"I am also tired of the asinine questioning, 'Why did he do this?'—as if we are to be perplexed that Hasan the deep philosopher inexplicably committed mayhem. We have reached real Bathos, when talking heads ponder whether trying to contact al Qaeda is really that bad, or whether yelling 'Allahu Akbar' as one blows apart human flesh is really an act connected to radical Islam."

BILLBOARDS
For our collective amusement, a sampling of Canadian billboards ... or at least as they were advertised in the email. Real or PhotoShop, they're hilarious.
