Thursday quick picks *UPDATED*
I’m working on a post, but thought you all would find this interesting in the meantime:
From AJ Strata, something that’s not just interesting, but is also terrifying: the terrorists are out there and, having gotten the measure of our new president and his administration, they are massing for war.
If you needed a reminder that today’s progressives are warmed over versions of yesterday’s fascists, Rhymes with Right traces the history of the despicable anti-free speech law Obama is now praising in his support for fascists.
Here’s another one of those matched sets I like so much: An article about the violent and sordid history of yet another Chicago Democratic pol (h/t Danny Lemieux) and Michael Barone’s optimistic prediction for Republicans based upon the Illinois primaries. (Should I remind you here that Obama selected and emerged from this Chicago political cesspool?)
And lastly, an enjoyable 3 minute video about education and young minds.
Telling a lie with a straight face is an art. Telling nine lies about George Bush in three paragraphs is a Democratic art. Watch Randall Hoven destroy those lies. The only sad thing is that most of the people who read the lies won’t be reading Hoven later.
UPDATED: I love a good mystery, but what happened to Jim Treacher is too unpleasant to be counted as good. He was cross a street on a “walk” light, got hit by a speeding SUV driver that then left him lying in the street, broke his knee, got a ticket from the D.C. cops for jaywalking, and got told by witnesses that the SUV looked like a Secret Service vehicle. Just what is going on here? To mangle Shakespeare, “Something is rotten in the District of Columbia.” (Here’s Jim’s own account of what happened.)
