Patterico has the story:
…the DNC threatened Sinclair Broadcasting’s broadcast license over an anti-Kerry documentary called ‘Stolen Honor.’ Kerry spokesthug Chad Clanton was quoted as saying: ‘I think they’re going to regret doing this, and they better hope we don’t win.’ He hastened to add that it wasn’t a threat.”
Do you Obamaphiles really want these people in charge of the Justice Department? That doesn’t scare you just a little bit?
I keep hearing about shortages and lines in the south. The last time we had gas lines on any major scale was in the seventies, when oil prices were kept artificially low by federal fiat. Is that what’s happening here? Are the “anti-gouging” laws keeping prices too low, and discouraging new supply? For instance, if you can’t get any more for it in North Carolina than you can in Ohio, where’s the incentive to spend the money to ship it in from there?
Can anyone in the areas where the lines are tell me?
Bill Whittle has some recent experience with it, and resulting thoughts.
Is Bill Clinton actually concerned about the country?
…we must remember that Clinton is a centrist (like Bush and, even more, McCain). No one knows, perhaps even Obama himself, what Obama is. Maybe, like many of us, Bill Clinton is genuinely worried. He would know, wouldn’t he?
People will look back on this year as they did 1972, and wonder how Obama got the nomination, and why the superdelegates didn’t do their jobs.
Nancy Pelosi says that the bailout bill has to pass.
OK, Madame Speaker, if you believe that, if it’s such a great idea, then why not pass it? Your party controls the House. There is no filibuster as there is in the Senate. There’s nothing the House Republicans can do to stop you. So where is the bill?
Obviously, she just wants keister upholstery in case it doesn’t work. She wants to get buy-in from the Republicans so that they can share the blame for the taxpayer ripoff. I don’t see why they should give it to her. And I also don’t see why this isn’t pointed out in news stories like this.
Oh, right.
In Ohio.
You’ll be as shocked as I was to learn that ACORN is involved.
Not.
Glenn Reynolds has a link roundup.
Jack Murtha is going to be sued for slander. Here’s hoping that he loses big. It would be great if he’d actually lose his seat in a few weeks, but that’s probably too much to hope for.
And I guess my title libels actual bags of scum. Hope they don’t sue.
Obama’s plans would be pretty hard on us.
It’s not surprising. He’s never displayed any knowledge of, or interest in business. If anything, his attitude (and unfortunately, John McCain’s as well) is that there is something ignoble about profits (hence his self-righteous preening about his choice of becoming a community organizer instead of “going to Wall Street”).
Jeeeeez. Hint, ladies. Persuasion is not force.
