"It was just a peaceful crowd -- orderly, no one making any strange comments that I know of," a Fort Bragg official told FoxNews.Oh, my. Don’t these tea-bagging conservatives know that they’re uneducated, racist, bigoted, violent, neanderthal thugs?

IT WAS PEACEFUL!
Sarah Palin drew a crowd of over 4,000 on Monday to her book signing at Fort Bragg.
JUST IN THE PAST OF TIME
The swine flu epidemic may have already peaked. Vaccine for the general public may be available in December.
Remember this when you vote for ObamaCare.
On a personal note, it’s mildly amusing to see Congress trying to spend something on the close order of one-and-a-half trillion dollars to bring health care to the same standard it was 60 years ago when I was a child.

A NEW RECORD
The Obama Approval Index from Rasmussen just hit -15 for the first time.

IMMIGRATION INSANITY
”Illegal immigration is a problem, but it can only be solved by overhauling our dysfunctional immigration laws, not by demonizing or scapegoating illegal immigrants. Those immigrants didn't come here in order to be lawbreakers; they broke a law in order to come here. That's a distinction with an all-important difference -- one that sensible and principled conservatives should be able to understand.”
Jacoby is right.

UNEMPLOYMENT TRENDS
This one is amazing – a county-by-county, month-by-month slide show of unemployment from January 2007, when the Democrats took control of Congress, through September 2009.

GLOBAL SOMETHING OR OTHER
Global warming appears to have stalled.
The planet's temperature curve rose sharply for almost 30 years, as global temperatures increased by an average of 0.7 degrees Celsius (1.25 degrees Fahrenheit) from the 1970s to the late 1990s. "At present, however, the warming is taking a break," confirms meteorologist Mojib Latif of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in the northern German city of Kiel. Latif, one of Germany's best-known climatologists, says that the temperature curve has reached a plateau. "There can be no argument about that," he says. "We have to face that fact."So here’s my question. Why is it inconceivable that the 30-year run-up in temperature is the outlier?
SMART BOOKS
Bay Area readers are too smart to bother reading Sarah Palin's Going Rogue:
“Our customers are thinking people,” said Nathan Embretson, a bookseller at Pendragon Books in Oakland. “They’re not into reading drivel.”So what do they read? Here’s a selection of some of the non-drively, thinky-type books Mr. Embretson carries at his store, per the Pendragon Books website:
Ah, yes, the reality-based community.Jim Marrs, Inside Job: Unmasking the 9-11 Conspiracies
Ward Churchill, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality
Van Jones, The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems
(a collaboration), Inner Paths to Outer Space: Journeys to Alien Worlds Through Psychedelics and Other Spiritual Technologies
William Ayers, Fugitive Days: Memoirs of an Anti-War Activist
Mark Rudd, Underground: My Life with SDS and the Weathermen
Lyndon H. Larouche, Cold Fusion: Challenge to U.S. Science Policy
A THOUGHT ON OBAMACARE
Is there any ObamaCare supporter in his or her right mind (right mind? - Ed. I know, I know.) who believes that anyone in the Government or its hangers-on will ever be on the public option (or "consumer" option, as Nancy Pelosi has called it)?
Get real. They will all have "Cadillac plans" - paid for with your -and my - tax dollars.

HMM
So the guidelines for frequency of mammograms and pap smears have been revised.
I suspect the revisions are entirely reasonable, but the timing leaves me scratching my head. With the health care debate on the front burner - and boiling over - why on Earth would the Government risk bringing the rationing argument back to the fore?
One has to wonder about the Obama administration's competence. Are they completly clueless? Or simply arrogant?

COMPLETELY NUTS
Andrew Sullivan, of Trig birther fame, has completely lost whatever tenuous hold on sanity he ever had with his latest outburst of Palin hatred.
Either that or someone has been tinkering with his meds.

RIGHT WING, LEFT WING
Sarah Palin, WWE star.
One has to marvel at the insularity - and arrogance - of the "progressive" Left.

WHO'S UNEMPLOYED?
Democrats and unaffiliateds are more likely to be unemployed than Republicans. Well, yes. Republicans have to work for a living.
