"Boost the United States"? I thought we were a terrible, evil country. How can you say both?
The US gives up control of the internet. Good or bad or neither?
USAF pilots who cannot fly?
The Incest Lobby jumps on the Polanski story. Good grief. The non-incestuous are termed "outbreeders". I hear the theme from Deliverance. (h/t, No Pasaran)
Pence: We are on the verge of a great Conservative Awakening. I hope so. It requires radical Leftists to get them to pay attention - since they have demanding jobs and lives, etc.

No climate change bill this year. Thank goodness. It's been too darn cold. I wish our Masters in government would turn the temp up a tad.
From WSJ Online re Olympics:
"This idea that other nations will do something that's not in their best interests because they like you is just silly."
It adds doubts. No kidding.

Michelle Obama talked about her late dad who suffered from multiple sclerosis.
Alas, someone in Brazil's delegation once lived in Rio, and had a great-uncle with angina.
Jules:
That Olympic village is going to need to be an armed camp. The big question is whether those Olympic-themed thongs were occupied or not. You’d think the Windy City’s pluggers would have had the good sense to put something traditional in their gift bags that really says “Chicago.” Like cash. And pork. Maybe a nightstick and some brass knuckles just to remind the IOC members to seriously consider their interests. But if they had, they might have won.
The always-amusing Ace: Chicago dodged a bullet
As they say:
Few presidents have suffered this much loss of support in so short a period of time — and things will probably get worse before they get better. Friday didn’t help. Mr. Obama has sustained a political wound at a vulnerable moment for him.
Related, from Powerline:
What Obama doesn't want to accept is that the Democrats' scheme for government takeover of health care is deeply controversial. In fact, most Americans oppose it, many bitterly--as, in my view, they should.
Obama also doesn't seem to understand that he is a not-very-popular President with a poor track record of accomplishment who is not in a position to demand anything from Congress. At the end of the day, the Democrats may or may not have the votes to pass a radical "reform" bill. But whether they do or do not have the votes will not be determined by empty threats from President Obama.
