Bill Kristol Must Resign

Ann Coulter "But Iraq also was a state sponsor of terrorism; was attempting to build nuclear weapons (according to endless bipartisan investigations in this country and in Britain -- thanks, liberals!); nurtured and gave refuge to Islamic terrorists -- including the 1993 World Trade Center bombers; was led by a mass murderer who had used weapons of mass destruction; paid bonuses to the families of suicide bombers; had vast oil reserves; and is situated at the heart of a critical region."
Ann's words, not mine.

Why the Personal Mandate to Buy Health Insurance Is Unprecedented and Unconstitutional

Heritage "Executive Summary : A mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would be an unprecedented form of federal action. The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States. An individual mandate would have two features that, in combination, would make it unique. First, it would impose a duty on individuals as members of society. Second, it would require people to purchase a specific service that would be heavily regulated by the federal government."

WE LOVE PIXAR: How Hollywood Cynicism Almost Ruined ‘Toy Story’ (and Pixar)

Big Hollywood "Under Katzenberg’s charge, Toy Story became an irreverent, mean-spirited muddled mess. It was only when Lasseter, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton and others returned to the old-fashioned idea of staying true to their vision that Toy Story came alive. The ‘edgy’ storyboards were thrown on the scrapheap, and the characters were re-drawn from the heart of the writers. The rest is history: Toy Story became a family-oriented, masterfully told hit film and one of the most beloved franchises in modern cinema. But it is worth mentioning the film’s allure came when the budding filmmakers stopped making what they thought the studio wanted, and instead made the film they would want their kids to watch."

Donald Berwick “We Must Redistribute Wealth”

Eyeblast "In 2008 while speaking on the British health care system in the UK, Berwick said wealthy individuals must redistribute their wealth to those less fortunate for health care funding. Also during this speech, he told those in attendance that he opposes free markets."

Sarah Palin; the latest

Matthews: Media will destroy Palin if she wins in the primaries  "No one questions whether that is actually the media’s job, to intentionally try to destroy political candidates. It’s all just a given. Palin runs, media will attempt to destroy her — and it serves as an implicit admission that the media did exactly that in 2008."

Levi Johnston Publicly Apologizes To The Palins, But Will the MSM Do the Same?  "It was a pretty good ride for Levi Johnston. After surfing the wave of celebrity that was primarily fueled by a willingness to lie about almost everything about Sarah, Todd and Bristol Palin, Levi has finally come clean in the pages of People, admitting; “”I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true.” "

After Promoting Levi Johnston in '09, CBS Ignores His Admission of False Statements "...co-host Maggie Rodriguez conducted her first interview with Johnston, and introduced the segment by proclaiming: "He [Johnston], along with his mother and sister, sat down with me last night for an interview to clear up the 'lies' they say the Palins have been telling about them." Rodriguez sympathized with the former boyfriend of Bristol Palin by wondering: "Did you get your heart broken?"

A youthful indiscretion?  "I don’t see deliberately and methodically slandering your child’s grandparents as a “youthful indiscretion.” That’s fullblown malice, irrespective of ones youth. What do you think?"

Obama, Netanyahu Deny Rift in Relations After White House Meeting

Fox News "Obama has called on Jerusalem to halt settlement construction and on the Palestinians to show progress on security and inciting violence against Israel."

Netanyahu's Stupid Pet Tricks  "Obama summoned Netanyahu to Washington in advance of the November elections when many expect there will be a rout of the Democrats. (I am not so sure, so crooked are they.) Why Israel and the U.S. Are In Crisis, an article I recently wrote for the Thinker, reflected the reality of US/Israeli relations."  Obama will visit Israel in September- just ahead of the November elections. And in time for campaign sound and video bites.

Stop Iran Now Debuts New Ad

Stop Iran Now Need sound and video.

Via Weekly Standard "Stop Iran Now debuts a new ad today, asking the president to be on the right side of history:"

NASA: "One Giant Leap (Backward)"

Jonah Goldberg   "According to contemporary liberalism, the government is the control room of society, where problems get solved, where institutions get their marching orders, where the oceans are commanded to stop rising. Each institution must subscribe to the progressive vision, all oars must pull as one. We are all in it together. We can do it all, if we all work together. Yes, we can."

STILL STUNNED WITH THIS NASA THING "We have no shortage of examples we can use to illustrate the idiocy of the Obama Administration. This one, however, would win the Nobel Prize for absurdity ... if there was one. Later today we'll get a statement from ObamaWorld telling us that this is really all George Bush's fault."

Socialist Dr. Berwick Gets Recess Appointment

Verum Serum "So he’s all for patient choice about things like who can come in the room at the hospital, but when it comes to letting patient choices rule the system through the market, well…that’s for leaders to do. In other words, we’re not going to let the aggregate choices of patients decide, we’ll decide for them. In fact, as of today, that will be Dr. Berwick’s job, to substitute his choices for yours."

ABC, NBC and CBS Mostly Ignore Obama's Recess Appointment of Pro-Health Care Rationing Doctor to Head Medicare  "Barack Obama's decision to make a recess appointment of Dr. Donald Berwick to run Medicare has been vastly ignored by the mainstream news media, despite the fact Berwick has made controversial statements favoring rationing of medical care."
