Obama’s Kryptonite: Truth
Don’t forget the Roma. Still persecuted or discriminated against today. More info here. Did you know?: “While exact figures or percentages cannot be ascertained, historians estimate that the Germans and their allies killed around 25 percent of all European Roma. Of slightly less than one million Roma believed to have been living in Europe before the war, the Germans and their Axis partners killed up to 220,000.”
The (un)truth about Sweden’s dirty secret. Satiric reply to Sweden’s blood libel against Israel. Swedish newspaper admits they made it up.
Obama breaks 42-years of tradition. “God and Country” not to be honored.
The other Zogby. Islamic terrorism apologist.
Don’t you wish you were at this dinner party?
Health care reform, yes. Big government, no. Well-done op-ed from a friend. Ed Morrissey keeps exposing phony ObamaCare numbers. Go Ed!
Every critic is a racist! Fidel Castro says so, so it must be true, right Barack? Fidel is one of the very few foreign leaders who hasn’t laughed in your face yet. Probably doesn’t want to foul up his deal to drill for oil right off Florida’s coast, while you stand against the US doing so.
Robot prostitutes. Aren’t Stepford Wives good enough? Just can’t please some men, huh.
Mistresses explain marital meandering. Hmmm, robots, Stepford wives, mistresses, so many choices, so little time, or energy. Hmmm, feel my motivation rising, thanks to Theo.
Some mother-in-laws can’t take a joke. Take my mother-in-law, for example. Please!
The politics of charisma is so Third World. Americans were never going to buy into it for long.
[T]here is joylessness in Mr. Obama. He is a scold, the "Yes we can!" mantra is shallow, and at any rate, it is about the coming to power of a man, and a political class, invested in its own sense of smarts and wisdom, and its right to alter the social contract of the land. In this view, the country had lost its way and the new leader and the political class arrayed around him will bring it back to the right path.
Thus the moment of crisis would become an opportunity to push through a political economy of redistribution and a foreign policy of American penance. The independent voters were the first to break ranks. They hadn't underwritten this fundamental change in the American polity when they cast their votes for Mr. Obama.
American democracy has never been democracy by plebiscite, a process by which a leader is anointed, then the populace steps out of the way, and the anointed one puts his political program in place.
Insulter-In-Chief. And, still working on more.

Glenn Beck Closing in on Van Jones
Will Harry Reid be the next Tom Daschle? Reid is now down by 49-38 in the poll. With his flair for eloquence, Reid tells us what he thinks of us. Back at ya, Harry: $10 For Tark should do it.
Obama's 09 deficit exceeds all eight years of Bush red ink And, How Washington Is Retarding Recovery
Pity poor Panetta? Actually, no. He’s Obama’s man, making excuses rather than publicly resigning and confronting the Leftist witch-hunt. “The next time CIA officers are told that they have to be more aggressive in protecting their country, they could be forgiven for saying ‘no thanks.’ “
Sculpture captures spirit of freed POW. -- Notable quote:
Becker had difficulty finding a model thin enough to model for his clay statue of an emaciated soldier….Members of the local POW group “kept saying ‘skinnier, skinnier, skinnier,’?” Becker said. “But I didn't want to scare the children.”
“Liberation” shows an emaciated soldier in tattered pants, without shirt or shoes, stepping through a broken fence. One hand is open at his side; the other is shielding his eyes in a gesture that suggests a salute. An eagle flies up from the ground just behind him.
“It's a good impression of a veteran leaving a POW camp, looking to the future,” said Burger, who is commander of the 250-member POW chapter.
The clay model for a sculpture called “Liberation,” made by Richard Becker, will be unveiled Saturday for the local chapter of the American Ex-Prisoners of War. (Sean M. Haffey / Union-Tribune)
DUmmies Hail Inspector Barack Clouseau™
Yes, the DUmmies are apologizing for thinking of Obama as he really is, a political incompetent, and are now trying to convince themselves that the president is really bumbling on purpose as part of some ingenious master plan unknown to the rest of us mortals.
On the bright side, at least he'll have publicly-funded healthcare in jail.” Of course, Michelle Malkin has more.
Che T-Shirters Are Dorks In Cuba:
Yoani Sánchez, the blogger who has gained an international following detailing the absurdities of daily life in Cuba, is on the phone from her 14th-floor apartment in Havana, where the elevators rarely work…. Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2008….
"I am part of the counterculture, and the counterculture is growing, but it is very diverse. Maybe one thing we all have in common is that we don't wear Che T-shirts, like foreign kids who consider themselves counterculture do,'' she says. ``In Cuba, Che represents the government. In Cuba, only tourists and members of the Young Communist League wear Che shirts.''
Hide the children.
RIP: Senator Ted Kennedy died last night. As one who grew up with the fabled family, and its tragedies, I watched a far younger Ted thrust into prominence following the assassinations of his older, and wiser, brothers. In his personal and political life, Ted Kennedy had many severe failings. He, also, earned respect from many for being a fighter for what he believed. I disagree with most of his career, but share that respect. There will be much talk in coming days, pro especially as his death is exploited for political purposes to try and resuscitate the dying ObamaCare. For me, for now, I’ll just say RIP to both.
