The more people viciously attack Sarah Palin, the more I want to see her win if for no reason other than to spite them.

When Leftists Call For Violence
No big deal. But when Glenn Beck points it out, he must be censored.

We want peace, and we will cut off your hands if you say otherwise.
Some people seem to be born without a sense of irony.

Frances Fox Piven’s violent agenda:
A leading light of the Democratic Socialists of America claims she is not a socialist and, after urging the unemployed to emulate the Greek rioters, claims she is not inciting violence. . . . Calls for the escalation and manipulation of violent rioting have long been central to Piven’s strategy.
It’s historically the strategy of leftists, from Lenin, to Hitler to Mao.
On The State Of The Union
Or rather, on the speech about it, I agree with George Will (and Bryan Preston):
Between Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson, no one delivered this in person. They sent the report to Congress in writing. But, now we’ve turned this into this panorama. In which an interminable speech, every president, regardless of party — tries to stroke every erogenous zone in the electorate and it becomes a political pep rally, to use the phrase of Chief Justice [John] Roberts last year. If it’s going to be a pep rally with the president’s supporters of whatever party standing up and bringing approval and histrionic pouting on the part of the other, then it’s no place for the judiciary, no place for the uniformed military, and no place for non-adolescent legislators.
I wonder what the reaction would be if the president didn’t make the speech? Not that this president would ever pass up an opportunity to make a speech, of course. It’s his only area of semi-competence.

The Republicans who agreed to take part in this are like hacky sacks: easy to kick around and they get played by liberals.
I was never into proms myself, but I can see how a politician would be desperate if he couldn’t get a date.
A Clockwork Crazy
Iowahawk seems to have gotten into Keith Olbermann’s drug stash. It’s not a pretty sight.
The Problem With Gun Control
There are lots of them, actually, but right up there is the fact that the ignorami who promote it know nothing about guns. Or rather, they know lots about them that is wrong.
Dear Nazi
Man, Iowahawk has been on a roll, lately.
Crime Scene Investigation
Cue opening credit sequence
THE WHO
BRAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!Fast-paced action montage of CSI team shaking test tubes, spellchecking, studying tea bags under microscope, arresting cactus
THE WHO
We won’t get fooled again!CSI Headquarters. Behind a two-way mirror, Krugman and Matthews watch as the suspect is interrogated by detectives Olbermann and Maddow.
OLBERMANN
Out with it, scumbag! Who are you working with? We know you’re hiding something – or somebody! At long last, have you no shame, sir?! Have you no decency?DREAMBRAIN
Riddle me this, Batman. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? That’s for me to know, but what am I? Ha hah! Heee! Ho hee! Pbblltth!Olbermann jumps up angrily from chair, Maddow restrains him.
MADDOW
Look, pal. Olbermann here, he goes just a little crazy kookoo sometimes. You should see him when he goes full Special Commentary. But you can trust me. I’m your friend. I’ll take care of you, see? Here, have a nice hot cup of tea…Dreambrain knocks the tea from the table
DREAMBRAIN
You’re trying to control my grammar! I have a constitutional right to saxophones!MATTHEWS (on intercom)
Take five, detectives. His rightwing gibberish isn’t getting us anywhere.KRUGMAN
Have the results gotten back from the toxicology lab yet?MATTHEWS
Got ’em right here. Weed… acid… psilocybin… salvia… Red Bull… but so far a negative on tea. And transfats.
I don’t think it has as much potential as the other franchises.
Politically Incorrect
An article that the WaPo spiked because it describes the difference between Christianity and Islam. Hiding or ignoring the truth doesn’t make it go away.
Airbrushing History
In search of Lee Harvey Oswald. Hey, airbrushing history, often wholesale, is what leftists do. Stalin was famous for it.
In Search Of A Conservative Space Policy
With the quarter-century anniversary of the Challenger loss coming up next week, my thoughts on where we’ve been, and where we go from here. Even though I’m not really a conservative, I hope that the essay will make sense to them. Because unlike many, I at least speak the language, particularly when properly edited.
[Tuesday morning update]
I would note that there are two companion pieces to this, by Jeff Foust and Bob Zubrin.
