Everything begins with O, &c.
By Jay Nordlinger= "Earlier, I spoke of the “establishment media” — and I have had a media thought lately, one that you have too, I bet: The game is so very, very different now. A couple of upstarts investigate ACORN, using crafty methods. They expose ACORN. And then the establishment media work to expose them — the exposers. The non-establishmentarians do the key investigating, and they, in turn, get investigated by the establishmentarians.Glenn Beck is the one who tells the nation all about Van Jones. And then the establishment media tell us about Glenn Beck. Why weren’t those establishment media on the job about Jones?"
Literary Lion Obama Will Roar No More
By Jack Cashill "From textual sleuthing, I had come to a comparable conclusion more than a year ago, namely that Obama had "turned the framework of his life over to terrorist emeritus Bill Ayers who roughed it in with his own darker sentiments and experiences." "
Rookie Mistakes
Aaron Gee "If Obama wants to play in the big leagues, he's going to have to shed his rookie preconceptions fast. Until then, he's just a rookie who talks a good game. The American people and freedom loving people the world over are still waiting for him to play a good game."
Politics and the farm crisis in the San Joaquin Valley
Ron Newsom, American Thinker "Ranchers are going bankrupt, families are going without food or jobs. And it receives very little media coverage. Who is hurting the most?Besides the Ranchers, who else makes a living off of the hard work when the harvest is due? Migrant field workers."...."This is class warfare by prosperous metropolitan elites against hardworking rural agricultural regions. The GOP should pick sides and take up the battle. And that includes letting Hispanics know who is on the side of the poor field workers."
Unanswered questions from the NEA
Washington Times "A full investigation by both Congress and the NEA inspector general is the only way to bring this story to a close. Answers to these questions would be only a start: "
Bill Clinton speaks of vast, right-wing conspiracy
Google News "Clinton said that this time around, the focus is on Obama and "their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail.""
McChrystal report officially backburnered now
Hot Air "The Pentagon says they will hold his request, officially, until Obama officially makes an official decision about the officially official policy he wants to officially pursue in the war:"

The President Risks Getting Stale
By Karl Rove "It sounded to White House advisers like a good idea. Put President Barack Obama on five Sunday morning talk shows. This would focus attention on health care, re-establish momentum, and show off Mr. Obama's passion, intelligence, and persuasive abilities. It didn't work. Mr. Obama made a classic mistake of politicians on a downward-bending arc. He jumps out in front of the cameras without having something fresh to offer. " Could Prezbo have jumped the shark?
NBC's [Law & Order] DA McCoy: 'It's About Time Somebody' Prosecuted Bush Officials for Torture
Newsbusters "By the end of the episode, “McCoy” has added former Vice President Cheney and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to his indictment. Incredibly, the case brought by a local DA against federal employees over the conduct of their official duties goes to trial, but before a verdict is rendered a federal court orders the trial stopped -- thus getting NBC out of the bind of either characterizing the Bush administration as guilty or not guilty." Gateway Pundit
"I've quit watching main L&O for at least a few years b/c of anti-Conservative/Christian/business biases of the show. They have had anti-torture cases in the past during the Bush admin. Not a new story line, frankly. Of course, they stretch things to get their local prosecutors and cops involved in such political issues." From the comments section.
