OBAMA AKBAR! the Democrats’ death wish.

When I saw the cartoon, my immediate reaction was the Democrats' favorite catch-phrase, "fake but accurate."

But isn't that exactly what an editorial cartoon is supposed to be?

SPRING FORWARD! It's time to adjust your clocks to where the sun in back in the eyes on the morning and evening commutes.

IT’S A BEGINNING, but I’d rather see earmarks to nonprofits and other NGOs banned since for all practical purposes they have become a shadow government.

SURELY IT’S TIME TO START OVER: Democratic leaders should be asking themselves just how they have gotten to the point that their strategy is to amend a law that doesn’t exist yet by passing a bill without voting on it.

OBAMA URGES STRAIGHT UP-OR-DOWN VOTE ON CONSTITUTION

“The real obstacle to approval of my health care reform plan is this ancient charter of negative liberties that says what the states and the federal government can’t do to you,” President Obama said.

“The Constitution deserves the same kind of up-or-down vote that the Bush tax cuts received. Once we break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, we’ll have no problem passing this historic health reform legislation.”

What worries me is the possibility that he actually believes this.

A BED OF THEIR OWN: “It's hard to pass unpopular legislation on party-line votes. It's not the Senate rules. It's called democracy.”

The Democrats made their bed. Now they get to sleep in it - alone.

BLACK EYE FOR U.S. EMBASSY IN KABUL? Well, maybe, but can embassy workers do their real jobs while catering to every Congressman and Administration official who shows up for a passport stamp and a photo-op?

HAS THE REVOLUTION BEGUN? Chris Muir seems to think it might.

MEMO TO THE MSM: Your science is awful.

Now click the author's name to his bio; the last sentence is, in my opinion, positive proof of impeccable scientific credentials.

KILLING BRAIN PARASITES with gold nanoparticles and lasers.

Without clicking through the link, my first thought was "Do it the old-fashioned way: nuke Congress." My second was that even if the gold was in the form of nanoparticles, gold was way to good for congresscritters.

The link, obviously, is to something else entirely. Or maybe not ... Nancy Pelosi, anyone?

SIXTEEN QUESTIONS for politial candidates.

The post is interesting, but the meat is in the comments. Of the two sides, sensible v. stupid, I lean toward sensible for the simple reason that the questions tend to give some insight into the candidate's character.

IF OBAMA REAUTHORIZES THE PATRIOT ACT and the New York Times doesn't cover it, does it make a sound?

IT’S JUST A SIGN CHANGE ... Move along, now.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Who says “No” in a government-funded health care system? Three guesses, but “patient” isn’t one of them.

IN ABOUT 10 MONTHS I’ll get a bright, shiny, new Medicare insurance card. Will there be any doctors left to accept it?

END THE RECESSION: Move Congress to Detroit.

IMAGINE IF ... “politicians were personally held to the incredibly high level of scrutiny that includes civil and financial liability for any unintended consequence of their decisions. Imagine if they were forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars each year on malpractice insurance and still faced the threat of multimillion-dollar lawsuits with every single decision they made. If so, a government takeover ... would be the furthest thing from their minds.”

Maybe that’s the key to taking back government from the politicians.

OBAMA’S GREATEST GIFT: rehabilitating former President George W. Bush. “In six months Bush will poll better than Obama, and liberal Bush-hating columnists (most of whom were for the Iraq war in 2003) will oh so insidiously begin to triangulate and show appreciation for the war on terror, Iraq, Afghanistan, and our relations with Europe overseas — and this is a best case scenario for Obama if he avoids a real blowup with Iran, North Korea, China, Russia, Venezuela, etc. in 1979 Jimmy Carter fashion.”

If he avoids a real blowup. He won’t.

HE GROPED, but not inappropriately. There’s an appropriate way to grope?

REALITY STRIKES THE ‘REALITY-BASED’ COMMUNITY.

[White House senior advisor David] Axelrod said he accepts some blame for what he called “communication failures,” though he acknowledges bafflement that the administration’s efforts to stimulate the economy in a crisis, overhaul health care and prosecute two wars have been so routinely framed by opponents as the handiwork of a big-government, soft-on-terrorism, politics-of-the-past ideologue.

Um, perhaps it’s because the administration’s efforts are the handiwork of a big-government, soft-on-terrorism, politics-of-the-past ideology?
