Obama off teleprompter again
Pete Wehner looks at the creepy, whiny, bitter, self-centered, self-satisfied stuff that routinely oozes out of our president when he goes off the teleprompter.

Belated News Year’s Wishes
L’shana tova! I hope this marks the start of a wonderful year, not just for Jews, but for everyone.
Continue readingThe liberal is either at your throat or at your feet….
My post caption is mangled version of an English expression popular in the years leading up to and during WWI: “The Hun is either at your throat or at your feet.” It was a reference to the fact that Germany was a deeply hierarchical, undemocratic nation, with only the haziest
Continue readingThe difference between active and passive antisemitism — and why TIME falls on the wrong side of the line
One of the dominant PC d0ctrines is that you’re not allowed to dislike people based upon race, religion, creed, country of national original, sexuality, gender, etc. This is one step beyond federal law, which merely says that you cannot discriminate against people on those grounds. I heartily agree with the

As I ready myself to nominate a couple of posts for this week’s Watcher’s Council vote, I have important business to do too. First, as the title of this post shows, I have to post last week’s winners. Second, though, I have to let you know about the amazing work
Continue readingWhy we don’t (shouldn’t) begrudge the Pentagon money
I was thinking about the Pentagon’s constant desire for money so that it can have bigger and better weapons. Anti-War people tend to write this off as institutional greed, sublimated violence, and an indecent expression of “big boys and their bigger toys.” I tend to have a very different view
Continue readingObama’s dog comparison is a really and truly weird thing to say
Showing that he can go off teleprompter — and that he probably shouldn’t — Obama whined (pun intended) about the treatment he feels Republicans are meting out to him: “Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they’re not always happy
Continue readingJust because music — Billy Squier
I’ve always enjoyed “Rock Me Tonite,” which is a great, hard-driving rock song. It’s incredibly funny, therefore, to watch Billy Squier do a low grade, and quite feminine, Jennifer Beals imitation in the accompanying video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZvl2aqIyNg[/youtube] Rumor has it that this pastel-toned ballet killed his career. I wouldn’t be at

Israel has no greater friend than Sarah Palin. She has shown repeatedly that she has a deep and abiding respect for the Jewish state, and that she understands the existential stresses under which it survives. Benyamin Korn gets this and, despite incredible derision from Jewish Democrats, has begun working to
Continue readingIt’s a holiday and I’m working on deadline….
Because it’s a holiday and I have a drop-dead deadline tomorrow, blogging will have to wait. Meanwhile, I’d very, very, very much like to hear what you guys have to say about this article at the HuffPo. The gist of it is that Sharia is nothing more than Jesus’s Sermon

It’s a perfectly matched set. Begin with Iowahawk, to enjoy the ultimate break-up. Now that you’re laughing, see how it happens in the real world:
Continue readingI know a shallow intellect when I see it — or why Obama’s carpet and Jan Brewer’s brain freeze are two sides of the same coin
When I was in high school, I developed a trick to make myself look smarter. I learned the beginning of a few key quotations, all tied into the classical literary or historic canon. At appropriate moments in a conversation, I’d start the quote, and then quickly trail off, as if
Continue readingFocusing conservative energy on the battleground states
The Strata-Sphere explains where conservative energy needs to go. (And be patient if the site doesn’t load. Apparently it’s been hinky.) Bottom line: Washington, California and Wisconsin are the Senate races to watch. They could be the real game changers. Here in California, I know that I’m voting for Carly.
Continue readingNew technologies = new wealth; or the rich get richer, but the poor don’t get poorer *UPDATED*
One of the great Marxist fallacies is that there is only so much pie to go around. We know that changing human efficiencies put the lie to this, but the liberals still live in a small pie world. That’s why you end up with Robert Reich, who ought to know
Continue readingYes, I miss him *UPDATED*
On the one hand, we have a little man (figuratively speaking), sitting at a big, empty desk, speaking in deadened tones and flat words, as his eyes roam relentlessly back and forth between his teleprompter, desperately avoiding the single word that so aptly sums up American bravery and sacrifice: Victory!
