The Demise of Air America
Jazz Shaw "And yet Fox News Channel continues to be one of the most successful outlets while MSNBC struggles to maintain an audience larger than reruns of Iron Chef America on the Food Network. So where were progressives going for their news and political entertainment? You can only fill up so many hours of the day reading Daily Kos and Democratic Underground."
After Massachusetts, Liberal Bloodletting Will Continue
Victor Davis Hanson "After a year Obama still has not yet figured out that his promiscuous talk of higher income, payroll, health care, and inheritance taxes, serial demonization of finance and business, and all sorts of new regulations, create a psychological climate in which the employer pulls in his horns and decides to ride things out — and this individual reaction is being repeated millions of times over, energized by the pique at everything trivial from Van Jones to apologies abroad to “Bush did it.” "
Full-body scanner catches cell phone, misses bomb on German TV [video]
Daily Caller “Admittedly, he only faced the scanner from the front and not from the side,” wrote computer security pro Bruce Schneier. “But he also didn’t hide anything in a body cavity other than his mouth — I didn’t think about that one — he didn’t use low density or thinly sliced PETN, and he didn’t hide anything in his carry-on luggage. Full-body scanners: they’re not just a dumb idea, they don’t actually work.” Hope you understand German but the point is clear.
A Warning For The Next Scott Brown
Legal Insurrection "Coakley's image problem was not the result of smears, but a result of the blogosphere and mainstream media publicizing Coakley's own words in context.There were, however, three key smears directed at Scott Brown, none of which took off because of the overall momentum in the race. Nonetheless, these smears are a road map as to how the next Scott Brown will be attacked." A good look at leftist tactics to appear in upcoming elections.
Radio's Steve Malzberg Fact-checks Olbermann's Brown Rants
Newsbusters "The anger over Keith Olbermann's disgraceful rants against Scott Brown continues to mount. On Thursday, WOR radio's Steve Malzberg voiced his opinion of the "out of control, leftwing nut-job" MSNBC host.
Hollywood Director: White Conservatives ‘More Terrifying’ Than ‘Any Jihadist’
Big Hollywood "Well, you have to keep in mind that in Leftist Hollywood comparing 100 million or so Americans to terrorists is what-you-call a resume enhancer. (If you just say that about the Marines, it’s called “Avatar.”) Now, had Carnahan said jihadists are more terrifying than white conservatives, the CAIR Apology Tour would be well underway."
America Rising; an open letter to Democrat politicians
Conservative Analysis "This is absolutely the best, most powerful video message since the Day of Great Darkness began our downward spiral on 04NOV2008. …and even moreso, because it was clearly produced by the PUMAs and other Dem-leaning independents that helped elect The One in the first place."

DoJ recommends Bush strategy for terrorist detainees
Hot Air "A Justice Department-led task force has concluded that nearly 50 of the 196 detainees at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be held indefinitely without trial under the laws of war, according to Obama administration officials."
Krauthammer: The Meaning of Brown
Townhall "Obama pretended that the real cause was a generalized anger and frustration "not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years." Let's get this straight: The antipathy to George W. Bush is so enduring and powerful that ... it just elected a Republican senator in Massachusetts? Why, the man is omnipotent. "
The revenge of the brightest and the best
Powerline "There are a number of recent developments that are gratifying for conservatives and Republicans. One small thing that gratifies me is the emergence of former Bush administration officials and staffers as powerful spokespersons in the fight against Obama's left-liberal policies."
