Searching for Saddam

Slate "A five-part series on how the U.S. military used social networking to capture the Iraqi dictator." Chris Wilson

The Smartest Guys in the Room?

American Thinker "Despite the Ivy League educations and all the access to information, the mainstream media behaved like a high school girl infatuated with the class bad boy. Allow me to illustrate. How many parents have experienced the horror of meeting their teenage daughter's first love and knowing instantly that this relationship will lead to nothing but tragedy? It's a no-win situation for the parents. If they attempt to explain what a cad their daughter is dating, the lovesick girl won't believe it. If they forbid her to see him again, the teen will most likely defy her parents and may even marry the fellow."

The Basis for Tort Reform

Dr. Peter Weiss "Physicians alone pay some 19 billion dollars a year in malpractice premiums. The argument by the Obama administration and the leaders in Congress is that the U.S. malpractice system is only a small contributor to the high cost of health care. This is completely false. This view blatantly fails to take into account the cost of defensive medicine and defensive documentation."

Where Is the ‘Red Line’ on Iran?

Pajamas Media "The Israelis are preparing for the worst. It is no coincidence that Israel revealed a fleet of unmanned aerial drones that can fly for an entire day and reach Iran shortly following the regime’s latest announcement. Only immediate, concrete, aggressive action can convince the Israelis to wait. Should such a strike commence, the international outcry against Israel will be misplaced. It will be the lack of action by the U.S. and its allies that, more than anyone aside from Ahmadinejad and Khamanei, will have forced Israel’s hand." How many have died since 1930 because free nations were influenced by anti-war protesters?

Obama’s ‘Queering Schools Czar’ Plans To Launch “School Climate Measurement” Program To Integrate LGBT Themes into K-12 Curricula

 Nice Deb   "...I.e., Jennings and GLSEN want homosexual, bisexual and transgender themes taught in every subject at every grade, all the way down to the kindergarten level, maybe even preschool.A “hostile school,”would be one where “Curricula are devoid of LGBT themes” and homosexuality is “characterized” as “sin.” By extension, parents and students who oppose the radical homosexual agenda, would be in violation of the schools “safety policies”?"

Clintonistas Rub It In

Commentary  "I suppose the Clintonistas are entitled to gloat. They said Obama wasn’t ready for prime time. They tried to argue that “experience” mattered and that “change” was a cotton-candy campaign slogan. But the Democrats didn’t listen. And now Obama is running the party into the ground. So it shouldn’t surprise us that up pops James Carville, Clinton confidant extraordinaire, to rub it in:" ...."If Obama suffers a massive defeat and can’t figure out a fallback plan to disguise the defeat, Hillary Clinton, Evan Bayh, and perhaps a few others may be contemplating how to position themselves, you know, just in case there’s a popular groundswell of Democratic support for a different candidate in 2012." Jennifer Rubin .

Another American media failure

Hot Air "...shouldn’t the American media have deployed its storied skepticism to some use on the AGW movement and the IPCC? After all, it was only a few years ago — after the invasion over which the media wailed and self-criticized its credulousness — that we discovered that the UN had conducted the largest fraud in human history, the Oil-for-Food program that put billions of dollars into the pockets of Saddam Hussein while impoverishing the Iraqis the program was designed to protect."

NY Times: "To Court Blacks, Foes of Abortion Make Racial Case."

Newsbusters "The Times story never wavered on labeling. "Pro-life" only occurred in the names of pro-life groups and in their quotes. The story had 11 uses of labeling negatives, "antis" and "opponents" and "foes" (not including three in the headlines and captions), while the other side were "supporters" of "abortion rights." "

Biden To Union: We Can Pass Card Check

Sweetness & Light  "Biden spent most of his hour-long talk on job creation, and made the case to union officials that the administration’s greatest priority is to stimulate growth in jobs that unions could then go out and organize. Ain’t it the truth? The only jobs this administration is interested in creating are union jobs. Because they aren’t interested in jobs. They are only interested in votes."

CHARLIE RANGEL STILL HAS A JOB

Neal Boortz "Charlie Rangel is among that elite class of Congress who believes that they are entitled to their position of power in Washington. He is part of some special class, which places him and his actions above the rule of law. Some might call that arrogance. Charlie Rangel's biggest supporter in the House seems to be Nancy Pelosi."

REID TO OBAMA ... WOULD YOU PLEASE STAY OUT OF NEVADA?

Nealz Nuze "...since Obama's visit to Nevada the news hasn't been good ... for Reid. A reported 17% of voters say they are now less likely to vote for Reid in November. Seven percent say they are more likely. My math skills bring me to the conclusion that Reid lost an additional 10% of the vote in Nevada due to Obama's visit."

Gulp: At least 10 House Democrats may flip from no to yes on ObamaCare

Hot Air "Democratic leaders have asked colleagues not to use the term “reconciliation” but instead to refer to the process as “majority vote,” said Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa. They also are frequently using the term “up or down vote.”" Just words?
