"[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."

A POST-ELECTION THOUGHT
Why the 2008 Presidential election reminds me of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Peggy Noonan on White House adviser David Axelrod arguing that Virginia gubenatorial candidate Creigh Deeds should have embraced President Obama: “My goodness, throw the drowning man an anvil.”
Miss Noonan has a way with words. Read the whole thing.

EXCUSES, EXCUSES
And I thought the liberals were adept at reading between the lines ... turns out they’re more adept at making excuses.
Anna Quindlen of Newsweek offers excuses for why Obama can, but hasn’t.
My personal favorite Quindlen-ism: “[I]f you're confused about the public option, just ask yourself this question: would you like to be eligible for Medicare at 40 rather than 65?” Quindlen’s only 57; in only 8 more years, she’ll know the answer isn’t just no, but “Hell, no.”
