Breakfast Scramble (Saturday)

“Doctor” Obama, meet Doctor Krauthammer, Washington Poxg:

Faced with this truly puzzling conundrum, Dr. Obama diagnoses a heretofore undiscovered psychological derangement: anxiety-induced Obama Underappreciation Syndrome, wherein an entire population is so addled by its economic anxieties as to be neurologically incapable of appreciating the “facts and science” undergirding Obamacare and the other blessings their president has bestowed upon them from on high.

I have a better explanation. Better because it adheres to the ultimate scientific principle, Occam’s Razor, by which the preferred explanation for any phenomenon is the one with the most economy and simplicity. And there is nothing simpler than the Gallup findings on the ideological inclinations of the American people. Conservative: 42 percent. Moderate: 35 percent. Liberal: 20 percent. No fanciful new syndromes or other elaborate fictions are required to understand that if you try to impose a liberal agenda on such a demonstrably center-right country — a country that is 80 percent non-liberal — you get a massive backlash

The trouble with play acting  as a psychologist is sooner or later you bound to cross paths, and horns,  with a board certified in psychiatrist.    In the end, Dumbo psycho-babble with prove no more popular that his economic babble.

Paging the Reverend Jesse Jackson, from Wikiquotes:

There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved…. After all we have been through. Just to think we can’t walk down our own streets, how humiliating.

Jackson circa 1993.

Juan Williams,  October 18, from NPR:

‘Look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”

Williams statement parallels Jackson’s.    So if the Reverend Jackson can extend forgiveness to adulterous lying reprobates, who happen to be serving as president, why not Jackson spoken in in defense of man who made the same mistake, or lack thereof, as the Good Reverend?

Juan Williams, National Public Radio Fox News:

Yesterday NPR fired me for telling the truth. The truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims.

This is not a bigoted statement. It is a statement of my feelings, my fears after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by radical Muslims. In a debate with Bill O’Reilly I revealed my fears to set up the case for not making rash judgments about people of any faith. I pointed out that the Atlanta Olympic bomber —  as well as Timothy McVeigh and the people who protest against gay rights at military funerals — are Christians but we journalists don’t identify them by their religion.

Dope from Hope gets one right:

(CNN) – In the wake of NPR’s firing of contributor Juan Williams over comments about Muslims, Mike Huckabee is calling on the next Congress to cut the radio network’s funding when it convenes next year.

“NPR has discredited itself as a forum for free speech and a protection of the First Amendment rights of all and has solidified itself as the purveyor of politically correct pabulum and protector of views that lean left,” Huckabee said in a statement provided to CNN.

If NPR wants to the broadcast network of record for George Soros, lets Soros foot the bill.

Kyle-Anne Shiver, Pajamas Media, on Dim Won’s, b/k/a Barack Obama, alleged superior intelligence:

On the intelligence claims, no proof has ever surfaced that any of the Obama brainiac hoopla was anything other than gratuitous accolades granted via affirmative action and white-liberal racial guilt. No transcripts. No professional articles. Nothing. Nada.  From kindergarten through law school, not a single shred of evidence has ever surfaced to show that Barack Obama was ever even a good student, much less the brainy wizard of his advertisers’ imaginations. Since the candidate openly admitted to lots of high-school and college drug use, plenty of hoops-shooting, but nary a blip of organized sports rigor, it’s entirely within the realm of probability that those transcripts have been buried with the same malevolent intent as tobacco companies who deep-sixed their own negative research.

Micheal Gerson, Washington Post:

Obama clearly believes that his brand of politics represents “facts and science and argument.” His opponents, in disturbing contrast, are using the more fearful, primitive portion of their brains. Obama views himself as the neocortical leader — the defender, not just of the stimulus package and health-care reform but also of cognitive reasoning. His critics rely on their lizard brains — the location of reptilian ritual and aggression. Some, presumably Democrats, rise above their evolutionary hard-wiring in times of social stress; others, sadly, do not.

Though there is plenty of competition, these are some of the most arrogant words ever uttered by an American president.

Milton Friedman, video:

Hat tip: Nice Deb.

The range of human knowledge is seemingly infinite.   Whereas the capacity of the human brain is rather finite.   Thus is the smart man who realizes, and accepts, the limits of his knowledge.  Do truly smart man like the late Milton Friedman will freely admit to being unable to make a mere pencil   Whereas a moron like Barack Obama thinks the can create “good jobs with benefits” and slow the raise of the ocean by simply raising his healing palms.

Libtards don’t know history, from Sister Toldjah:

This is absolutely positively too priceless for words.  In a speech to Tea Party supporters in Nevada on Monday, Sarah Palin told the crowd that they shouldn’t “party like it’s 1773? just yet (via):

Seeking to channel the sign-bearing, flag-waving enthusiasm of the “tea party” movement into ballot-box victories, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told hundreds of supporters Monday they couldn’t “party like it’s 1773? until Washington was flooded with like-minded conservatives.

“I can see November from my house!” said Palin in a self-deprecating call to action that had been reprinted on buttons.

Prominent liberals like Markos Moulitsas and others hilariously jumped all over what they believed to be a “Palin gaffe” – thinking perhaps she meant 1776.

Er, wrong.

Or the Constitution, from Daily Caller:

The Delaware Republican [Christine O’Donnell] running for the U.S. Senate asked Coons, her Democratic opponent, “Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?” during Tuesday’s debate. Listen to the audio of the debate here.

She was mocked in subsequent news reports after Coons pointed out the First Amendment clause that says Congress “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

The words “separation of church and state” can be traced back to Thomas Jefferson, but are not written in the Constitution.

Asked if there are law experts who reject that the concept of “separation of church and state” is reflected in the constitution, Susan Low Bloch, a professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center, said, “I don’t think so.”

Oh libtards may think their favorite pet phrase “separation of church and state” is contained in the Constitution.   Actually the phrase is attributable to Thomas Jefferson.    What the First Amendment actually dose is preclude Congress from establishing an official state religion, analogous to the Church of England, but that is too much to expect Chris Coons to actually know that.

Or women, from a befuddled MSNBC, video:

Commentary from a clearly peeved LauraW, Ace of Spades:

Now, you might think most MSNBC contributors are retards, and you would be correct. However, this marks a moment of personal development for these snot-drooling imbeciles. Although they have sailed past RealityLand once again (where women join and lead the Tea Party FOR THE SAME REASONS EVERYBODY ELSE DOES), they’re getting closer.

They sense somehow, some way, that this must have something to do with money, and that people think about money, and came up with “Eureka! Women must be having thoughts about money.”

And they did not accuse us of being three-toothed trailer-livin’ cousin-kissin’ chicken-rapin’ redneck hilbilly racists. For once.

The LSM coming Dononvan McNabb moment. Noemie Emery, Weekly Standard, details the coming crash of  the paper mache facade, to wit Barack Obama, so painstakingly contructed by the media:

It better be out there, for the alternative is much too depressing. He’s your ideal, and if he fails, it means that the things that you value—the smoothness, the snark, the verbal facility, the elevation of talk as against thought and action, the veneer of worldliness; the right schools, the right clothes, the right frame of reference; the nuance; the sophistication—that these things are, in the real world, not all that important.

Dumbo tries psychology – fails, from Carol E. Lee, Politico:

WEST NEWTON, Mass. – President Barack Obama said Americans’ “fear and frustration” is to blame for an intense midterm election cycle that threatens to derail the Democratic agenda.

“Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country’s scared.”

Where Dumbo tries dime store psychology, Kyle-Anne Shiver resorts to a literary meat cleaver to dismember the fraud known as Barack Hussien Obama, via Pajamas Media

On the intelligence claims, no proof has ever surfaced that any of the Obama brainiac hoopla was anything other than gratuitous accolades granted via affirmative action and white-liberal racial guilt.

Rest  assured, Dim Won knows no more about psychology than does economics, energy or environmental science.

Man up Barney! Congressman Barney Frank sends his other half to do his dirty work from Fleming and Hayes:

October 16, 2010 – Upon exiting the most recent debate with Barney Frank, located at WGBH studios in Boston, MA, Republican Congressional candidate, Sean Bielat, gets heckled by a Barney Frank “supporter” while talking to the media.  While watching this video, we realized that we recognized this “supporter”. We received confirmation from two eyewitnesses that the mysterious cameraman was none other than Barney Frank’s pot-growing boyfriend, James Ready.

Kyle-Anne does snark. Alas Maureen Dowd loses a cat fight.  Read “Maureen Dowd and Revenge of the Homely Redhead“, because I can’t excerpt it.

And Jennifer Bubin take a few bites as well, from Commentary:

Beaten at her own game, is she? Why yes. (She does impart one piece of information: Sharron Angle “campaigns at times with a .44 Magnum revolver in her 1989 GMC pickup.” My word, what is not to like about her?!) The tough girls have not only given a clear alternative to the whiny victimhood of Dowd and her fellow gender-grievance-mongers; they have redefined political feminism. You can gain power, win the respect and affection of fellow citizens, and be pro-free market, pro-guns, and pro-life (the unholy trinity of the left).

A forty-four magnum and a GMC pick-up,  why Mrs. Angle,you are my kind of women.

Creative non-violence, would Martin Luther King approve? From, Christian Science Monitor:

Atlanta

When he first spotted the strange graffiti, Mushtaq Hussain thought it was a juvenile prank: Somebody had used bacon strips on a sidewalk in front of a Florence, S.C., mosque to spell out the words “PIG” and “CHUMP.”

But as Mr. Hussain, a board member at the Islamic Center in Florence, gave it some thought, the incident last Sunday seemed less like an ill-advised gag and more like a cunning and cruel affront. “We thought seriously, and we thought, ‘You know, somebody doesn’t like us,’ ” he told WMBF-TV news in Florence

I do extend my sympathy to the pig which provided the bacon.  Alas.

Unfortunately, watching the gubernatorial race here in New York, is I think indicative of what’s going to be happening in the whole of the country.

As of this writing Cuomo is something like twenty points ahead in the polls.  Of course, the polling data seems to focus on New York City , who could run Mickey Mouse under the Jackass banner, and lead in the polls.  Fact is they often do run candidates comparable to Mickey Mouse.   But really, now…Does anybody truly think that the son of one of the men largely responsible for the appalling economic conditions here in New York, (Yes, Mario Cuomo)  and someone who clearly thinks that the only problem with Mario Cuomo was that he didn’t go far enough in as liberalism, is going to turn this state around?  Obviously, the liberals do.  But you’ll never hear them say that.  What you’ll hear them doing is going negative on Carl Paladino .

There  is no question.. Carl Paladino is rough around the edges.  but the fact is that people like Andrew Cuomo (to say little or  nothing of his father before him ) are directly responsible for this state losing more jobs than any other with the tax and spend policies that the liberals have become justly linked with nationwide.  What we have is the establishment trying to protect itself. We also, alas, have a number of big government Democrats… (as if there’s another kind) … And a large number of supposedly independent voters who are willing to be the tools of that establishment.

All of this, as I say, seems to me a token of what we’re going to see nationwide.  I’m not referring specifically to this next election, though certainly my comment includes that.

The question for the next election is whether or not the numbers of voters willing to be tools of the liberal -socialist establishment will be large enough to maintain the status quo .  I tend to think they will not.  At least, on a nationwide basis.  Alas, however, that the pattern here in New York State, and in the country as a whole has already been well set. I am not inclined to believe that the hard lessons have really been learned.  If they were, Cuomo wouldn’t be leading by twenty points, for example… And people like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be pilloried.

Even assuming a victory of real conservatism in this next election, has the lesson really been learned?  I wish I could answer in the affirmative with any degree of surety.

Addendum: (DavidL)

Hell no to a fourth term for Mario.

As the Cows moo, via Steve Gilbert, Sweetness & Light:

Last week, the National Organization for Women and the PAC of the California NOW chapter took heat for their endorsement of state Attorney General Jerry Brown (D) over Meg Whitman (R) in the gubernatorial race in the wake of comments by a Brown aide that Whitman was a “whore.” At the time, national NOW President Terry O’Neill said that anyone who “from here on” calls a woman a “whore” should be fired.

She might want to have a talk with California NOW President Parry [sic] Bellasalma, who today told TPM in response to a question that “Meg Whitman could be described as ‘a political whore.’ Yes, that’s an accurate statement.”

If Patty Bellasalma sees no problem in calling a political opponent a whore, she can have no objection to my practice of calling gender feminists, cows?

Dumbo, a/k/a Barack Obama on the market economy:

“The basic idea is that if we put our blind faith in the market and we let corporations do whatever they want and we leave everybody else to fend for themselves, then America somehow automatically is going to grow and prosper.”

Thirty-three miner in Chili might disagree.   Story from Daniel Henninger, Wall Street Journal,

Rolling Stone on Dumbo, via Newsbusters:

In fact, when the history of this [Obama[ administration is written, Obama’s opening act is likely to be judged as more impressive than any president’s — Democrat or Republican — since the mid-1960s. “If you’re looking at the first-two-year legislative record,” says [Norman Ornstein, a scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute], “you really don’t have any rivals since Lyndon Johnson — and that includes Ronald Reagan.”

It is easy to see how Rolling Stone keeps score, laws enacted count,  actual results to do not.  For the history challenged at Rolling Stone, Lyndon B. Johnson waged to costly wars, the War in Vietnam and the War on Poverty.   For the record, we lost them both.   Whereas the Gipper and Forty-One, ended the Cold War, rolled back the Iron Curtain and freed some fifty million people.   Top that Dumbo.

How did Dirty Harry Reid get rich while in public office, video:

Hat tip:  Michelle

Part of the problem with Washington is the culture of corruption where politicians come to Washington poor but live as rich men.   So how did Dirty Harry Reid get so rich while is supposed public service?.

Dirty Harry’s media stooge, calls debate for Sharon Angle. How bad off is Dirty Harry Reid, when his head media hack, John Ralston, calls the debate for his opponent, from Las-Vegas Sun:

Let’s get the easy part out of the way first:

Sharron Angle won The Big Debate.

Angle won because she looked relatively credible, appearing not to be the Wicked Witch of the West (Christine O’Donnell is the good witch of the Tea Party) and scoring many more rhetorical points. And she won because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid looked as if he could barely stay on a linear argument, abruptly switching gears and failing to effectively parry or thrust.

Whether the debate affects the outcome — I believe very few Nevadans are undecided — it also perfectly encapsulated the race: An aging senator who has mastered the inside political game but fundamentally does not seem to care about his public role (and is terrible at it) versus an ever-smiling political climber who can deliver message points but sometimes changes her message or denies a previous one even existed.

Look upon these works, ye mighty, and despair

Dickless man sues to join Ladies golf tour. They do make them stupid in Florida.   From, My Fox Orlando:

Transgender golfer sues LPGA in bid to join tour

(NewsCore) – A former male SWAT team member filed a lawsuit in California against the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) after the now transgender woman was denied in her efforts to join the women’s golf tour, her lawyer said Wednesday.

Lana Lawless, the 2008 Women’s Long Drive Association (LDA) champion, claims in her lawsuit that her civil rights have been violated by the LPGA. The LPGA rules state that no one can play on tour unless she was born female

Only the Lord knows from what planet News Core come, but on this planet, any person born a born will die a man.   Sex is immutable.   If Lana Lawless wants to join a golf tour, let him seek entry in the PGA.

Note the article states that Lawless is legally a female, as if a freeping lawyer can alter the work of God.    When, and if, God ever wants to make Lawless a woman, then he will.   Till then Lawless will remain a male who has to squat

A pro-life surge? Could be apparent republican congressional surge wash out baby killing democrats from Congress?  One can only hope. Politico runs a story about potential set back to women, but Jill Stanek has the real story:

While conservatives are already celebrating the “Year of the Republican Woman,” thanks to a record number of GOP female candidates for Congress, Democrats fear the opposite trend: the year of the women’s wipeout.

Three Democratic women first elected to Congress in 1992 – the original “Year of the Woman” – are at risk. Nearly a quarter of the 56 female Democrats in the House are considered vulnerable, including once rising stars like Ann Kirkpatrick [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of AZ, Betsy Markey [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of CO and Mary Jo Kilroy [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of OH….

“This should trouble anyone who believes that a Congress should be truly representative of the people it serves,” said Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]….

Other women who helped build the Democratic majority, including Reps. Gabrielle Giffords [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of AZ, Suzanne Kosmas [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of FL, Dina Titus [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of NV, Kathy Dahlkemper [pro-life Democrat who voted for Obamacare, opposed by pro-life groups] of PA, Betty Sutton [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of OH, Stephanie Herseth Sandlin [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of SD and Carol Shea-Porter [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of NH, are engaged in some of the most competitive races in the country….

But the ousting of a wide swath of [pro-abort] Democratic women Nov.  2 would chip away at a generation of female [pro-abort] politicians inspired by the 1992 election…

Each of the female senators on the chopping block have been history makers: CA’s Barbara Boxer [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]… AR’s Blanche Lincoln [pro-abort, zero rating from National Right to Life]… WA’s Patty Murray [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]… AK’s Lisa Murkowski [pro-abort, member of Republicans for Choice and Republican Majority for Choice]…

But the ultimate casualty for Democratic women would be the ousting of Nancy Pelosi [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] from the speaker’s chair if Republicans win the House….

Under her tenure, women have held key leadership positions – including NY Rep. Louise Slaughter [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] as chairwoman of the House Rules Committee, CT Rep. Rosa DeLauro [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] as co-chairwoman of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee and NY Rep. Carolyn Maloney [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] as chairwoman of the Joint Economic Committee. NY Rep. Nydia Velazquez [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] became chairwoman of the House Small Business Committee….

“I think the record speaks for itself,” said CA Rep. Jackie Speier [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]… ticking off the number of women in leadership roles. “She has really placed women in positions of leadership.”…

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] said the newer women have Pelosi to thank for their plum committee assignments….

“We try and help each other – mentoring, working on issues together, fundraising…,” said Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]….

Look at like this, liberal women’s loses will be baby’s gains.

A peek at the future of energy,  from George F. Will, Newsweek:

Dogs Know Obama:

Have you ever heard that a dog ‘knows’ when an earthquake is about to hit?

Have you ever heard that a dog can ‘sense’ when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away?

Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struck Southeast Asia, dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?

Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?

Somehow they always know when they can ‘go for a ride’ before you even ask and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?

I’m a firm believer that animals – and especially dogs – have keen insights into the Truth.

And you can’t tell me that dogs can’t sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.

Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn’t right .. . when impending doom is upon us . . they’ll always try to warn us…. !!

Throwing Dumbo under the Bus, Mark Halpren shoves it on, from Time:

With the exception of core Obama Administration loyalists, most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusions: the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters.

Jill adds on, from Pundit & Pundette:

Isolated, insular, arrogant, and clueless. Well, that’s a start. Let’s not forget narcissistic, thin-skinned, unscrupulous, polarizing, and socialist

Heck`, Dumbo not doing bad for an forty-nine year old man with no education and no prior work experience.     Then too, you might get a little thin skinned if for prior to your current job, just showing up was good enough.

Stupid hoplophobe of the Day, Keka, Saloon:

I saw it.  But I couldn’t believe it.

There I was, in a fast food drive through, behind a man whose back window decal, in small white letters, sent me a message that sent a chill down my spine—just as he’d hoped it would, no doubt.  It said:

THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT BY WHITE MEN WITH GUNS

Aw, a little bitty bumper sticker sent a chill down her spline.    Rush was right.  Some people were born wanting to be slaves, or well serfs.   Imagine wanting to have to ask your master’s permission before you defend yourself.    Grow a spline Keka.   You need one.

New York Slimes goes Orwellian.  To oppose murdering Islamic radical terrorism, to be a radical.  Sure Pinch.  From the Slimes:

Operating largely outside traditional Washington power centers — and, for better or worse, without traditional academic, public-policy or journalism credentials — Ms. Geller, with a coterie of allies, has helped set the tone and shape the narrative for a divisive national debate over Park51 (she calls the developer a “thug” and a “lowlife”). In the process, she has helped bring into the mainstream a concept that after 9/11 percolated mainly on the fringes of American politics: that terrorism by Muslims springs not from perversions of Islam but from the religion itself. Her writings, rallies and television appearances have both offended and inspired, transforming Ms. Geller from an Internet obscurity, who once videotaped herself in a bikini as she denounced “Islamofascism,” into a media commodity who has been profiled on “60 Minutes” and whose phraseology has been adopted by Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin.

So how many people has Ms Geller killed?   I don’t know of any.   Yet for reasons beyond comprehension by mere mortal men, the Slimes seems to think  that defend traditional American values and oppose Jihadist terror is somehow radical.   Lay off the Kool-Aid Pinch.    Is there some magic duty on reporting other than to clearly express the truth?   I don’t know of any.  Do you?

Commentary from John Hinderacker, Powerline:

Today’s New York Times has a lengthy and not entirely unflattering profile of Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs. While the paper describes Pamela’s rhetoric as “venomous,” her main offense seems to be that she is a citizen activist:

Of course the Slimes employed such stalwart defenders of truth and freedom as Maureen Dowd,  Paul Krugman, and the fablist  Walter Duranty.

So Eric, what do we have to do in ordered to get slimed?

Karl Rove calls Obama a liar, video:

Hat tip and more: Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit.

As I see it, there is one problem with Rove’s accusation of the Obama administration is  lying.    In order to actually lie, you have to be smart enough to know the truth.   The Obama administration lives in their own fantasy land.

El Rushmo speaks truth and riles libtards:

LIMBAUGH: This is a tough thing to say, because a lot of people don’t want to hear this, because it goes against everybody’s desire that we all be the same, that there be no pain in life and that there be no suffering and that everybody do well and that everybody have what they want and so forth.

But there is no equality. You cannot guarantee that any two people will end up the same. And you can’t legislate it, and you can’t make it happen. You can try, under the guise of fairness and so forth, but some people are self-starters, and some people are born lazy. Some people are born victims. Some people are just born to be slaves. Some people are born to put up with somebody else making every decision for them.

Some people, on the other hand, are born and they’re not going to take anything from anybody. They’re going to be totally in charge of their lives. They’re not going to sit around and wait for something. They’re going to make it happen. You can see this throughout the American strata — population.

Even in — well, born and raised. I think both. I think born and raised.

But you can — even in down economic times, there are people getting wealthy. In recessions and depressions, there are still people who are profiting from it. Most people are not self-starters. Most people, if you ask them as adults — think back. Who was the best teacher you ever had? They’ll tell you — it almost, without fail — that there was somebody in their life that showed them that they were capable of much more than they thought they were capable of themselves. Because most people are not self-starters. Most people don’t push themselves. They have to be pushed. To be shown

Any thing that riles Crook and Liars can’t be all bad.

James Jones out, Thomas Donilon in, Nice Deb not very impressed:

Obama’s National Security Adviser, Marine General Jim Jones resigned on Friday, and is being replaced by political operative Tom Donilon.

Any thoughts people were having that Obama might move to the center after the Dem shellacking in November can now be officially put to rest.

The good news, such as it is, is that Donihon will not actually make Obama’s foreign policy any wores..  There is no evidence that Obama ever listened to Jones anyhow.

Who we Palaface? Dim Won threatens to resort to hand to hand combat, from Don Surber:

Via the Los Angeles Times, this is what he told a radio show that is targeted to young African-Americans: “Everybody in the barbershops, the beauty shops, and at work — everybody’s got to understand: This is a huge election. If we turn out in strong numbers, then we will do fine. If we do not, if we are depressed and decide, well, you know, Barack’s not running right now, so I’m just going to stay home, then I’m going to have my hands full up here on Capitol Hill… They are fired up. They are mobilized. They see an opportunity to take back the House, maybe take back the Senate. If they’re successful in doing that, they’ve already said they’re going to go back to the same policies that were in place during the Bush administration. That means that we are going to have just hand-to-hand combat up here on Capitol Hill.”

Is anybody really stupid enough to believe that Dim Won would be man enough to hit the mattresses?    It sounds like call to armed insurrection to me.  What say you?

Victor Davis Hanson: Perfect storm, the dirt farmer from California, makes a pretty fair sailing analogy. frinn National Review:
