Gateway Pundit "The Tibetan spiritual leader, who was also denied a meeting in the Oval office, left via a side entrance where rubbish bags were piled up and The White House didn’t release photos of the meeting until several hours afterwards."

Time.com Links Austin Suicide Pilot To Tea Party Movement
Newsbusters "In an article about Thursday's apparent suicide by a pilot in Austin, Texas, the folks at Time.com made two seemingly intentional links to the Tea Party movement"...."You know a lot of conservatives and/or Tea Party members extolling the virtues of communism while bashing capitalism? No...I don't either. Shame on Time for doing this. " The connections are totally gratuitous; one more reason to not trust the established press.
Mutual Loathing Society
George Will "Yet Sarah Palin, who with 17 months remaining in her single term as Alaska's governor quit the only serious office she has ever held, is obsessively discussed as a possible candidate in 2012. Why? She is not going to be president and will not be the Republican nominee unless the party wants to lose at least 44 states."
Morning Bell: The Mount Vernon Statement
Heritage "We recommit ourselves to the ideas of the American Founding. Through the Constitution, the Founders created an enduring framework of limited government based on the rule of law. They sought to secure national independence, provide for economic opportunity, establish true religious liberty and maintain a flourishing society of republican self-government." Quoted from an article by Edwin J. Feulner, President of The Heritage Foundation.
Clinton Plotting Tea Party Counterattack
BigGovernment "They plan to identify 7-8 national figures active in the tea party movement and engage in deep opposition research on them. If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps ‘turn’, either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement. The others will be subjected to a full-on smear campaign. (Has MSNBC already been notified?)" And here: American Thinker
On Teaching Christianity
InsideHigherEd "That’s how I view my teaching of the Christian tradition — helping my students to take an inventory. They can’t go back in time and decide not to have received some form of Christian inheritance, in all the varied ways they have received it, but I would hope that after taking my class they are in a better position to decide what to do with it."
Middle East Terror and Double Standards
Pajamas Media "Given the already prevailing anti-Israeli climate, it is no surprise that this time the Human Rights Council answered back with the 574-page Goldstone Report accusing Israel of war crimes, a document that has been denounced as “a shoddy piece of work, unworthy of serious consideration by people of good will,” and as “an abominable travesty of justice.” "
Kill or Capture?
Andrew C. McCarthy "My hesitancy about Obama on Pakistan was rooted in the fact that I didn’t believe him. Leftists are always big on fighting the war we’re not in as an excuse for undermining the war we are in. I thought Obama was flexing his rhetorical muscles on Pakistan to blunt his derelictions on Iraq. I couldn’t be more pleasantly surprised to be wrong. As president, he has done what he said he would do in Pakistan, and he has gotten effective cooperation from the wily Pakistanis, which is no mean feat." Emphasis added.
Where Did Our Real Wealth Go?
Victor Davis Hanson "Here in California we idle farmland, though we have the water, expertise, and soil to produce far more food than we do. We put vast swaths of both land and sea off limits to gas and oil production, though we could produce far more petroleum and natural gas than we do. We snub nuclear power, though our population steadily increases and its desire for electronic appurtenance grows, not shrinks. We like “wilderness areas” (who doesn’t?) where we build no roads, harvest no timber, and build no dams. We strangle Silicon Valley with all sorts of labor and business regulations until it fabricates and outsources abroad. In other words, we are creating no real new sources of concrete wealth as we nuance the shrinking capital we inherited."
Stop Press Item: Boxer and Gore Begging for Money in Same L.A. Room
Big Journalism "To my few friends in California, who are brilliant and conservative, I apologize. Still, even y’all have to admit that the liberals in your state have run roughshod for decades over every shred of common sense anywhere within their sights." Kyle-Anne Shiver
The Yucca Mountain Blues
Warning Signs "...the U.S. has an abundance of oil. Like nuclear power, however, successive administrations since the 1970s have ensured that U.S. oil companies were kept from exploring for it, extracting it, refining it and selling it to us at affordable prices. This is in sharp contrast to the endless babble about the need to be “energy independent.” ".... "Cap-and-Trade is a fraud. Let your senators know you oppose their vote for it. Any senator that does vote for it should be replaced if they are running for reelection in the November midterm elections. "Alan Caruba. Tell it like it is, Alan.
