Dumb and Dumber: Joe Biden Picks a Fight with New York

Commentary "We have come to expect flawed decision-making from the Obami. But it does seem as though the longer they stay in office, the dumber and more inept they become on the pure politics of it all. For people waging a perpetual campaign complete with rallies and Potemkin Village summits (the bipartisanship rather than the buildings is fake, in this case), they sure have lost their political touch."

Commentary "...(hold more “carefully choreographed interactions with the press,” they declare) and more aggressive with opponents (”more direct, rapid response to criticism”). Sigh. Yes, this gang imagines that less transparency and more hyper-partisanship are the way to go.

Climategate Conspirator Cracks

Atlas Shrugs "When one attempts to get one's arms around the level of this fraud, it is impossible to fathom.
