Sarcasm And Insult
How it took over the Democrat Party.
[Update a while later]
Bruce Webster has some post-election predictions. Not pretty for the Democrats.
Camille Paglia
How the Democrats lost her (and presumably) Ann Althouse. I almost intersected with Camille yesterday. She was Glenn’s next interview, after lunch.
Three Times
That’s how many times the embattled people in the consulate and safe house were denied help.
And what’s worse, there was an AC-130 orbiting, but the administration refused to allow it to fire. This is starting to look like manslaughter.
Too bad there’s not a Republican in the White House. If there were, maybe someone other than Fox News would be covering this stuff.

It’s not Blackhawk down again. “It’s worse. Recall that the major problem in BD was the UN commander was unwilling to risk casualties to protect forward US positions and troops in the city. This is the US unwilling to protect its own. It’s like we have the UN for an administration or something.”
Or something.
Lena Dunham’s Ad
Treacher thinks it’s just great, and wants to see a lot more like it.
The Popular Vote
Barring some major shift, Romney will win it.
Geraghty’s analysis is buttressed by the latest Gallup results of voter composition, misleadingly titled “2012 U.S. Electorate Looks Like 2008.” They’re referring to race, age and gender, but if you look at the party composition, it actually looks more like 2010. That is, another wave election against the Democrats. Combining that with other poll results means Romney plus six or seven in the popular vote (that is, basically a reversal of 2008). It also means that even blue states like Connecticut or New Jersey could be in play. In addition, it probably means long coat tails, with a solid Republican majority in the Senate.
CEI’s Official Statement
…on the Mann lawsuit.
[Update a few minutes later]
Here is CEI’s legal defense of my blog post, written three weeks ago, which I hadn’t previously seen.
An Election Metaphor
This election is Ward Cleaver versus Eddie Haskell.
George Will once said that while Bill Clinton may not have been the worst president, he was probably the worst man ever to be president. I don’t know how Romney will be from a policy standpoint, but he certainly seems to be one of the best men to ever run for the job.
Illinois
Thoughts on the president’s home state:
Illinois politicians, including the present President of the United States, have wrecked one of the country’s potentially most prosperous and dynamic states, condemned millions of poor children to substandard education, failed to maintain vital infrastructure, choked business development and growth through unsustainable tax and regulatory policies — and still failed to appease the demands of the public sector unions and fee-seeking Wall Street crony capitalists who make billions off the state’s distress.
But other than that, it’s great. And California’s pretty much in the same boat.
Bandwidth
A huge breakthrough. Or as The Donald would say, a yuge breakthrough. Yuge.
It’s a very clever solution, too.
