Catching you up on some of my favorite blogs this weekend...
Flopping Aces: CBS Headline: Meet Iran’s George W. Bush
This ought to be a no-brainer: Ahmadinejad has made a mess of the
economy, clamped down on political dissent and social freedoms,
militarized the state, and earned the enmity of much of the world.
Michelle Malkin: Corruptocrat Chris Dodd caught lying again
Chris Dodd’s cottage in Ireland, a joint purchase facilitated by
crony contributor and convicted insider trader Edward Downe, is magical.
Watch it magically appreciate:
Moonbattery: SF Judge: Terrorists Can Sue Bush Officials
The AC was up too high, the lights were too bright, he didn't get
enough sleep, there was a pea under his mattress, et cetera. Meanwhile,
in Muslim countries people are getting their fingernails torn off. The
worst of Padilla's "torture" was allegedly being told he would be
transferred to the sort of country where he really would be tortured.
Any judge who wouldn't laugh this case out of court needs to be
removed from the bench immediately for reasons of national security.
Patriot Room: That was Quick. Is Obamacare Already Dead?
The logic of Democrats' (Republicans should, on principle alone, always
oppose the government's doing anything not required under the
Constitution, and health care ain't in there) opposition to the plan is
clear. If the doctor's, health insurance companies, and the public
don't like it, what constituency are the politicians serving by voting
for the plan? Even if they are authoritarian, nanny-state, do-gooders,
who would vote for anything that would aggrandize their own power, they
still need to win reelection to enjoy that power. Following a president
who was the most liberal Senator in the Senate down the road to
Nationalized Health Care may not play well in the 95% of Congressional
districts that are not as liberal.
Right Wing Nut House: A Grand Old Flag
This is the best Flag Day piece I've ever seen. Check it out.
The Other McCain: Karl Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Rove?
Really, Sully? I mean, really? WTF goes through someone's mind
when they dream up an idiotic comparison between (a) Karl Rove, a
Republican political strategist, and (b) Mahmoud Ahmadinejed, a
Jew-hating genocidal maniac?
Powerline: The Walpin Story: It's about Money
So the investigation had to be swept under the rug quickly, and Walpin
had to go. Obama had one of his White House lawyers call Walpin and
demand that he resign within an hour. When Walpin refused to quit,
Obama fired him without giving a reason other than his supposed lack of
"fullest confidence" in Walpin. This certainly violated the spirit, and
may have violated the letter of the 2008 Inspectors General Reform Act,
which Obama co-sponsored. (I think it probably did.) This is classic
Obama--ignoring a statute which he himself had sponsored just a year
earlier.
PoliPundit: It's Interest Rates, Stupid
If the Republicans have any political savvy, they will coordinate a
full attack on Obama’s economic policies as soon as the Treasury hits
5%. By then, there will be no getting around what his policies have
created. About two in three people on their own home or property
(condo, two unit, etc) Even if they aren’t now buying, selling or
refinancing, a homeowner is acutely aware of what higher mortgage rates
mean to them. Many homeowners are aware of what property values are
doing in their own areas. As they see property values falling, they
will be able to make the connection from that to rising mortgage rates.
That's all for this week. Please check out our friends' sites, it's good for everyone.
