The art of crap detection: A case study
Powerline "[Michelle] Malkin denominated Kristof's column quite possibly the crappiest New York Times column for Obamacare ever. The title of Kristof's column was "Are we going to let John die?" In Kristof's world, John would live only if we nationalize American medicine along the lines sought by Obama and his congressional allies. Michelle mercilessly mocked Kristof's lack of journalistic effort and good faith.
Take back Al Gore's Oscar, 2 Academy members demand in light of Climategate
LA Times blog h/t to Instapundit "... two Hollywood conservatives (yes, there are some) have called upon the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to rescind the prestigious, profitable gold Oscar statuette that it gave ex-Vice President Al Gore two years ago for the environmental movie "An Inconvenient Truth."" I doubt you'll see these guys on Leno or Letterman.
They live among us: END CHRISTMAS TO SAVE THE PLANET
Boortz "Why would this dingbat right(sic) such an asinine letter? I have a theory. Fame. She hopes to get her 15 minutes of fame by penning this absurdity. Maybe she'll get invited to appear on Fox & Friends! After all, some loon sends a text message from the altar during his wedding and before you know it he, his bride and the preacher are on Fox & Friends. That was the moment I turned off the television this morning." Hmmm.
Dick Morris and the Crusade against ObamaCare
By Claude Sandroff , AT "Morris rightly sees the health care fight as the most crucial battle to wage against the Obama putsch. Without that victory, there is little chance for America to remain free, capitalistic, and dynamic. If we lose the battle against ObamaCare, America will become indistinguishable from the fatigued nations comprising socialist Europe."

It's that Silly, Politically Correct Holiday Season
By Sammy Benoit, AT "And to my Christian friends: Please don't go get assimilated on me either. That tree in the mall is a Christmas tree, not a holiday tree. Santa is not a secular character; he is Saint Nick. You have a nice tradition. Don't try to make it politically correct by taking away its religious nature. Or as Judge Judy would say, "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining!""
How far will Ayers turn against Obama?
Jack Cashill , AT "After months of dithering, Obama turned his back on his leftwing base, Ayers included, and grudgingly consented to a troop surge. Ayers is not pleased. On Wednesday night, he took to the streets of Chicago to protest. Never shy about using stark language, Ayers told an interviewer just what he thought about his protégé's policy."
Democrats Vote to Cut Half a Trillion Dollars From Medicare
Gateway Pundit "“Medicare is already in trouble. The program needs to be fixed, not raided to create another new government program,” said Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky."
Oh my: Al Gore bails on lecture at Copenhagen
Hot Air "Nor do I think he’s ducking the lecture because he’s afraid to face questions about Climategate. Why should he be? He’s already got two pre-packaged “rebuttal” arguments to choose from, the savvy and the schmucky. Just today the UK’s climate secretary went the latter route by warning people not to be distracted from the crisis by skeptic “saboteurs.” That spin will be plenty good enough for a roomful of true believers, I’m sure."
'Job Summit' Ignores Job Creators
InvestorsBusinessDaily "It was no surprise that not a single White House in more than a century has had a smaller ratio than the current administration. Only the Kennedy — less than 30% — and Carter — just over 30% — administrations were close to the Obama mark of less than 10%. It is the height of hubris for an administration in which fewer than one in 10 Cabinet appointments have private-sector experience to hold a meeting with the goal of creating jobs."
Climategate – it ain’t just about the weather
Pajamas Media "Climategate is about a lot more than climate. It’s about science and its relationship to politics and profit, the academy, the state and, perhaps most importantly, information control. The manner through which we learn (or thought we did) important knowledge about key aspects of our existence, the way things are hidden, has been exposed in this one instance like the Wizard of Oz."
Reversing Obama on the KSM Trial
Andrew C. McCarthy "We absolutely can get President Obama to reverse this [KSM trial]decision. We’ve done it before. This spring, outraged Americans made their voices heard when the Obama administration attempted to disclose top-secret photographs said to depict the abuse of prisoners in U.S. custody. The president backed down, reversing his attorney general’s decision not to appeal a disclosure order. On Monday, that popular national-security resolve paid big dividends when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of keeping the pictures classified. Much to the chagrin of DOJ’s pro-detainee activists and their friends at the ACLU, the photos will not see the light of day."
