Breeder of terrorists.
Not surprising, really, when one reads about how disdainful of free speech they are. For others, of course, not them.

Faith Of Our Presidents
Apparently, investigating the president’s beliefs is more important with some presidents than others:
…isn’t that interesting? When Bush declared his Christianity, the press felt a need to delve into his faith and explore the nuances of his belief. Was Bush a moderate Christian, or was he really just one of those crazy wingnut believers who use words like sin and redemption and stuff? Heck, those people are practically snake-handlers, right? But the real question was whether he was a real Christian at all.
So many questions to be explored. And explore them, the press did.
Then, I mean.
Well, Bush was one of those bitter clingers. One shouldn’t question a messiah’s religious beliefs.

I’m Going To Rush Out And Buy Stock
…in this company when it IPOs:
GM…acknowledges that meeting customer and CAFE requirements is going to add to the cost of vehicles in the future and could put downward pressure on sales. The more advanced technologies, like fuel cells and batteries, face even bigger hurdles as neither one has yet proven commercially feasible and there is no guarantee that GM and its suppliers will be able to bring down the costs as hoped. Nonetheless, alternative propulsion systems will be GM’s top research priority going forward.
A non-Government Motors wouldn’t be doing such a nutty thing.
Twenty Senate Seats
…in play? It’s highly unlikely, but that would be filibuster proof. And almost enough for a veto override, particularly with a few Donkeys shocked at events and running scared.
Let Them Sweat
I was walking to a meeting, wearing a suit, in downtown DC on Monday morning, when (dripping in sweat) I formulated a theory of what really caused the impending collapse of the Republic: the invention of air conditioning. Today, Dan Miller has similar thoughts. On the other hand, perhaps power seekers aren’t hedonistic enough to mind. On the gripping hand, you wouldn’t know it from their salaries and perks.
Who’s To Blame For The President’s Muslim Problem?
As I’ve said before, I don’t think he’s either a Christian or a Muslim, because in order to do that, you have to believe in something bigger than yourself.
Not To Me
Why the bad economic news shouldn’t always (or ever, lately) be “unexpected“:
While our economy is enormously complicated, it seems reasonably clear that the current slump has turned into the “worst downturn since the Great Depression” precisely because of the ill-advised policies of the Obama administration. Those policies contradict the lessons of history, and there is no reason why their failure should be unexpected.
But “as any intelligent and informed person would have expected” doesn’t quite fit the media narrative.
Shut Up!
…Queen Nancy explained.
Fred Thompson
Does he have a ghost twitterer? Mickey Kaus thinks so. If not, his campaign against Obama would have been all the more entertaining. It is pretty good stuff. If it’s not Fred, whoever it is could write for one of the night talk shows. Hey, maybe he does.
