Why Are Tiger’s Women Getting a Pass?

Pajamas Media "What is new is a celebrity-infatuated culture that encourages such behavior through the promotion of female promiscuity as empowerment. But while these women will enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame, they will feel a sense of emptiness inside. As these women slip into middle age they will find that their false sense of empowerment has faded, with the men now able to pick and choose. The tables will be turned and many will end up alone, in a “sisterhood” not by choice. But a man-less future is what the radical feminists wanted all along. That’s why “home-wrecker” holds no currency anymore."

Obama theme: incompetence?

Hot Air "Who could have warned us that a man who served seven years in the state legislature and three years in the Senate would not have been prepared for the toughest executive position in the Free World? We did. Repeatedly. So did John McCain, and for that matter, so did Hillary Clinton."

Are We to Be Led in War by a "Tiger" or a Kitten?

Victor Davis Hanson "And when a war leader visibly regrets the situation he has found himself in — rather than being determined to prevail in the struggle at hand — that hesitancy inevitably ripples through the ranks. Think of the British or French war effort between September 1939 and May 1940, or America in Vietnam between 1964 and 1969. Chamberlain was no Churchill, and LBJ, like it or not, was not a Nixon, at least when it came to trying to win in Vietnam."

A Black Panther sings

Washington Times "The American public is still waiting for answers to questions about why the Obama administration would cover for Black Panthers who used racial threats to intimidate voters. For example, if Mr. Shabazz could talk about the case to Fox News and to the Associated Press, why couldn't he talk to a judge? And why won't Mr. Holder or his aides offer any detailed explanations for why they let him off the hook?" h/t to Lucianne

The New Socialism

Charles Krauthammer "Forget for a moment the economic effects of severe carbon chastity. There's the matter of constitutional decency.

Not by administrative fiat of EPA bureaucrats. "

So far, he has the: Blame Bush shtick ; Look at this mess I inherited shtick ; Let's have a summit shtick ; Apology tour shtick ; Throw your best friends under the bus shtick ; I'm just a nice guy doing my best shtick"

Can the GOP Win Back the House?

Richard Baehr , AT "If forced to answer my own question, I would say the odds favor the Democrats retaining control of the House. But the Republicans have a shot, maybe 25-33%, of coming out on top. If they manage to accomplish that, almost all of the turnover seats will come from the list in this article. "

Was Air Tran Flight #297 a terrorist dry run?

American Thinker "It is understandable to a degree that AirTran would wish to minimize the public relations damage to their business by minimizing the seriousness of what really happened on Flight 297. But the lesson of United flight 93 is that an alert and aroused citizenry functions as a defense against airborne terror attacks. We deserve a full and honest account of what happened on Airtran 297." But take Mr. Petruna's account with some skepticism.

Is Newsweek A Brand “That Will Disappear In 2010″?

Pajamas Media "...late last year, Newsweek attempted a disastrous makeover that attempted to shift the magazine from a relatively staid newsweekly (hence the name!) to a magazine that Andrew Ferguson of the Weekly Standard brilliantly described as “a liberal opinion magazine written by liberals who don’t want to admit they’re liberals.”"
