In yet another example of how liberals are ruled by emotion, some of them think I should now be willing to give some leeway on Obamacare because Ted Kennedy just died:
Democrats are hoping that Senator Ted Kennedy’s death will help breathe new life into health care reform.
Some believe the loss of Kennedy will bring a [...]

Michelle Malkin has warned against the politicization of Kennedy’s death (Stacy McCain wasn’t listening), but, as Ed Morrissey points out at HotAir, that advice does not apply to Kennedy’s allies (even the media, who denies being an ally), and especially not to Chris Matthews who took it upon himself to make Barack Obama a part [...]

The Patriot Room’s Scott Martin takes Obama to task for his flagrantly dishonest packaging of religious tenets in “a bizarre presser,” and the thing that jumped out at me is an overused expression that is a dead giveaway of the cluelessness of those who use it. Scott quotes the sourced article:
“The one thing that you [...]

The Left has grown furious lately with the knowledge that they don’t have an exclusive right to organize. They’ll go off the deep end (wait, they did that a long time ago, didn’t they?) when they realize they don’t have the exclusive right to rhyme in protest, either. Click the image to read the second [...]

Well, in this case, the end result seems rather obvious.
Think they’ll stop complaining now that the white face is gone? Nah, me either.
UPDATE: I changed the original Joker image to include the “Socialism” caption. I’m still catching up on my reading about this, and didn’t realize the caption was part of the original artwork. Speaking [...]

When I read Queer Conservative quoting Victoria Jackson, the first thing I though to myself was, the Saturday Night Live Victoria Jackson? The ditzy blonde? Yep:
I woke up in the middle of the night and realized the trick.
You see, evil doesn’t just show up. It disguises itself as something nice; so you’ll let it in. [...]

So, now Pope Benedict is an economic genius:
THE Pope has called for a new world financial order blaming the global crisis on the greed of financiers and investors.
Denouncing what he termed a profit-at-all-cost mentality, Pope Benedict XVI was also critical of governmental oversight and the absence of global regulation.
In the most socially rooted Vatican encyclical [...]

Mike at Cold Fury is plenty pissed at Palin’s slanderers. He recognizes we can’t take the bullshit attacks lying down, because that will only encourage more of them. Some people might call this a temper tantrum, but I think it is a call to arms that should be heeded:
Sue them, bankrupt them, ruin their lives, [...]

I already knew cap and trade was a disaster because it arises out of a make-believe problem. But even if I believed that anthropogenic global warming was bringing on a worldwide catastrophe and had to be addressed, there would apparently be plenty of reason for me to hate this thing.
If Stephen Spruiell & Kevin Williamson [...]

I like Sarah Palin a lot. I’m not sure I’d support a presidential run, and I worry that she was too gravely wounded in the 2008 election to recover, especially in time for 2012. But I do love her not just for her values, but for her ability to bring out the worst (or the [...]

I’m finally catching up with the lefty blogs regarding their fury over the arguments that the Department of Justice is using to support the Defense of Marriage Act against a challenge to its constitutionality in a California federal court. Short story:
Homosexual married (to each other) guys in California file suit against the U.S. and the [...]

In a commencement speech at the University of Delaware, the New York Times columnist (and, apparently, my moral superior) said this (emphasis mine):
“Oh, we had our moments to be proud of, but I’m afraid that we took many of those freedoms that our parents sacrificed to create for us, and we used them to go [...]

For people too busy to have taken in the entirety of Obama’s Cairo speech, Pundit & Pundette analyze quite a bit of it. I’m not going to judge the speech in its entirety, though, until I read it for myself. And I doubt I will find it the unmitigated disaster they find it to be.
But [...]

I was wondering how Bill O’Reilly would address those who are blaming him for George Tiller’s murder, and I think he did a great job:
H/T: Patterico.

I don’t like the word “moderate,” but there’s such a thing as fair, and today’s post by Jazz Shaw at The Moderate Voice is about as fair as they come on the subject of the Obamas’ night out on Broadway:
To be fair here, our first observation should go out to our Republican and conservative friends [...]

Stacy McCain has made a theme out of fisking David Brooks, and I think Brooks is every bit the tool McCain thinks he is. In this piece, Brooks tries to make a point about how much “smarter” Obama is in handling terror-related security issues and, unwittingly, I think, says mouthfuls about the critics of President [...]

As if we needed one to know where she stands. But it’s always nice to have solid evidence.
Responding to a Vanity Fair writer who asked her last December who she might like to see nominated for the Supreme Court, Hill named a few names and closed her note with this admission that she sees the [...]

The conservative outrage over the DHS report on right-wing terror threats — the one that alerts law enforcement that right-wing extremist groups may make special efforts to recruit returning veterans, and was released in a rush without considering possible civil liberties violations — is largely unmerited, it seems to me. Hate to agree with lefties, but [...]

Not much, apparently.
Wait. Scratch that. The Caymans are worse. Must be. Whereas The Left decried sanctions against Saddam’s Iraq, I don’t think they’re gong to make much noise — unless it’s celebratory — over this:
Tax havens that refuse to share information with other countries will face “sanctions” under an agreement being thrashed out at the [...]

Ed Morrissey tries to take the high road at HotAir over threatened Republican filibusters of Obama judicial (and administration) appointees. Normally, I’m all for the high road, but in this case, I’m not sure. I’m not even sure that what he is advocating is taking the high road so much as it is driving right [...]
