Ace posted about how Mika Brezinksy not only dutifully spun the White House line immediately upon receiving an email correction, but went above and beyond the call of duty by “absolving the White House from any bad behavior regarding Fox News at all.” Watch, then keep reading:
“A very calm and understated manner.”
Got that? That’s the [...]

Oh, please. From Politico Click:
Attorney General Eric Holder was asked about being a finalist for the 2009 “Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year” award during a press conference in his office Tuesday afternoon.
White House adviser David Axelrod is also in the running.
You call those mustaches? Where’s the gravitas?
John Bolton’s mustache could strangle those [...]

It’s “Planned Grandparenthood.” And for a funny site like The People’s Cube, it’s rather scary. But then, satire often is. Click the image to view the rest of it:

I have been troubled by the fact that my daughter started in public school last year when she started first grade. Until then, she had been in a church-run preschool and kindergarten. But a generous mother-in-law was the only way my wife and I could pull that off.
As if I am not worrying enough, along [...]

I’m skeptical of Ed Lasky’s conclusion at American Thinker that “Chicago rules” are at play in the way stimulus funds are being doled out. In support, Lasky quotes this from a USA Today piece:
STIMULUS POLITICS: USA Today takes on a different analysis, however, that shows that Obama districts seem to be getting more money: ‘Billions [...]

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 [...]

There have been a few bloggers calling bullshit on President Obama’s grandiose — but inherently unproveable — claims to have “created or saved” hundreds of thousands of jobs.
But the best commentary by far is Andrew McCarthy’s announcement at The Corner that he is “Getting Healthier by the Day!” It reads:
I just did or saved 100 [...]

Government”reform” now means shutting people up. I told you months ago that you’d see restrictions on your speech. Did you believe me?
I am writing with an update on the President’s March 20, 2009 Memorandum on Ensuring Responsible Spending of Recovery Act Funds. Section 3 of the Memorandum . . . barred registered lobbyists from having [...]

Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court has already had a big impact on minorities, including the long-oppressed fly-eating amphibian community.
(Follow the link. It’s funny, even though I think my side of the blogosphere is making too big a deal out of that particular remark and should be concentrating on the substance of her jurisprudence.)

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted the 1993 World Trade Center bombers, has declined an invitation from the Obama administration to participate in “roundtable” ostensibly meant to help formulate legal standards for treatment of terror detainees. His letter to attorney General Eric Holder has popped up all over the conservative blogosphere, but Flopping Aces sums [...]

They said W was arrogant. At least he didn’t set out to engineer the climate.
The president’s new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth’s air.
John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of [...]

According to Newsweek:
In recent days, Obama’s national-security officials have had brainstorming sessions to come up with different ways to describe the U.S. government’s efforts to defeat Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, according to administration sources who asked not to be identified talking about private discussions.
What’s being sought is [...]

So concludes NRO’s editorial last month regarding the executive orders concerning Gitmo and other anti-terrorism measures that President Obama signed two days after his inauguration:
So to summarize: We’d love to close Guantanamo, but we can’t right now; we’d love to transfer detainees out of Guantanamo, but other countries don’t want them; we’d love to give [...]

The St. Petersburg Times has started a page at its PolitiFact site for tracking President Obama’s progress (or lack thereof) on campaign promises. The Obameter’s ambitious mission:
PolitiFact has compiled about 500 promises that Barack Obama made during the campaign and is tracking their progress on our Obameter. We rate their status as No Action, In [...]

Remember how we conservatives were so upset when Democrats labeled increased spending as “cuts” merely because the increase in a budget was not as big as expected or asked for? Huh? Remember that?
Looks like our side may have been guilty of the same thing regarding the defense budget.
Big difference, though. Whereas the shameless Left will [...]

Obama! So hip! So modern! So tech-savvy! First president to carry a Blackberry! So . . . 1984?
Seems a little retro for so modern a messiah president, but I’m talking about George Orwell’s novel 1984, not the actual year. The main character, Winston Smith, worked in the Ministry of Truth, where his job was to [...]

Which one? This one:
Once Obama was elected, I thought it made no more sense to keep the banner up. But I think it’s time for a comeback:
The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without [...]

Allah at HotAir is chiding President Obama for abandoning bipartisanship, based on this report from Politico:
During a morning meeting with congressional leaders from both parties, President Obama acknowledged the philosophical differences between his stimulus package and the Republican plan – but, sources familiar with the conversation said, Obama then noted: “I won.”…
Allah introduced that excerpt [...]

Or so I might express myself if I were Obama’s nominee for Secretary of Education.
