Al Gore invents the internet, becomes Vice-President, wins an Oscar AND a Nobel Prize, then saves the world from manbearpig and he can’t even get a random masseuse to help free up his chakra. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber is probably in the middle of an orgy right now. What kind of world is that?

As promised yesterday, here’s the clip of the Rose Garden announcement: Plus, at Glenn Reynolds, “VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: McChrystal’s Tragedy.” Cross-posted from American Power.

At WSJ: Americans are more pessimistic about the state of the country and less confident in President Barack Obama’s leadership than at any point since Mr. Obama entered the White House, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. The survey also shows grave and growing concerns about the Gulf oil spill, with overwhelming […]

That title? Yeah, it’s kinda off, I know. But consider the source: Libby Davies, Canadian Member of Parliament for the New Democratic Party. Davies was caught in a recent controversy in which she denied Israel’s right to exist. At the American Spectator, Aaron Goldstein calls her “Canada’s Helen Thomas.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper “demanded that […]

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not take up the Senate’s “doc fix” bill, which passed through the Senate on Friday.:  A letter from Pelosi reaffirms her position and scolds Republicans for blocking the jobs portion of the bill: “What is it that Republicans in the Senate and House don’t understand about the need for […]

Well, I was kinda joking in my previous post, “Dems to Run on Joe Barton Campaign Platform.” But I guess it’s no joke to the DNC: And this is actually the Dems’ second Barton ad buy: Right. Well see how this works out amid massive Democratic fail. RELATED: See Peter Hannaford, “Joe Barton Was Right” […]

At NYT, “Obama Relieves McChrystal of Command“: President Obama removed Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal as commander of American forces in Afghanistan on Wednesday, and tapped as his replacement the general’s boss, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the architect of the 2007 surge in Iraq. Mr. Obama, standing with General Petraeus and Vice President Joseph R. Biden […]

In a move that was sure to devastate the coastal region even more, the Obama administration issued a six month moratorium on deepwater drilling. This would be like having a plane crash, and putting a six month moratorium on flying. Luckily for us, a judge in Lousiania has overturned this decision. The Obama administration is […]

Eliot Cohen, who is not kind to Obama (and his strategic blunders in Afghanistan), puts the burden on McChrystal’s breach of civilian control, “Why McChrystal Has to Go“: It is intolerable for officers to publicly criticize or mock senior political figures, including the vice president or the ambassador (who is, after all, the president’s personal […]

A really good video clip: And the source of all of this, Rolling Stone‘s interview, “The Runaway General.” RELATED: James Fallows, “Obama Has to Fire McChrystal.” (Via Memeorandum.) Cross-posted from American Power.

The answer below will astound you. Senator LeMieux: via Shark Tank

The video c/o the communist Indy Bay website, “Labor and Community Picket Israeli Zim Line Ship“: The full report’s at American Power, “East Bay Jew Hatred: Free Palestine Movement Blockades Israeli Ship in Oakland.” RELATED: Be sure to read Melanie Phillips’ recent interview for background, “Melanie Phillips Interview at National Review.” Her new book is […]

Forget what the Senate did – the House is a whole ‘nother story: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi struck a combative tone tonight, rejecting the Medicare “doc fix” passed hastily through the Senate Friday until Senate Republicans allow a vote on jobs measures that have passed through the House. That’ll be a 21.3% cut to the […]

At The Hill, “Dems Mount Effort to Label Conservative GOPs as ‘The BP 114’.” Plus, watch Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel cling to Rep. Joe Barton like a life preserver: There’s been panic on both sides of the aisle, actually. It’s an election year. Barton got skittish, others in Congress jumped at the political opportunity, […]

Or she’s part of the reason why. I’ve drawn a lot of flak on this and why I draw flak on it, has always been a mystery to me. Whether or not any drug should be legal, is a question on which the federal government has no jurisdiction whatsoever. Congress can declare things illegal, but […]

At LAT, “Lakers Violence: Authorities Release Raw Video of Mob Attacking Cab, Seek Public’s Help.” And at Blogmocracy, “Identify These Bastards“: RELATED: “Raw Video: Lakers Fans Riot After NBA Victory.” More at American Power.

Seriously. It’s the end of the world, at Pam’s House Blend: Even if the well were capped today and its outflow brought to zero, and even if the integrity of the rock is not further weakened and there is no sinkhole, oil and methane will continue to seep out through the sea bed for a […]

We interrupt our regularly-scheduled weekend blog-programming to bring you this hilarious update on President Barack Jimmy Carter Obama. That’s right, the dude’s looking to be a one-termer. See, “U.S. Voters Split on Obama Re-Election in 2012.” No surprise then that Republicans are just laughing at the president, who long ago abandoned bipartisanship to ram through […]

My NEW WND column, Talk Radio Watch, is now up! Enjoy FREE audio and video highlights from the week in talk radio: Rush Limbaugh talks about his wedding, Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham try to interview Alvin Greene, Glenn Beck gets mad at a guy who dresses up in Colonial garb (?!) and lots more. […]

The real reason folks watch Fox News? RELATED: Wonderful conservative Opus 6 has been a great sport with my Friday night blogging. And be sure to check out her smokin’ hot commentary this morning. See, “Santa Ana, CA ICE Raids Put Damper on Illegal Participation In Census.” Cross-posted from American Power.

I haven’t heard any Lefties saying this, so I’m saying it for them. Maybe they just need somebody else to be first. Or maybe they just want to nod their heads, knowingly, while somebody else says exactly what they were thinking. So here goes. Afghanistan. The good war, right? Yeah, right. Here we all thought […]

Government programs are magical, see. Or…well, I thought they were. I thought …didn’t I hear somebody say this? I thought that once the government takes over providing a service – let’s say, for example, medical care – then you’ve got the service. You’re taken care of. No problem. Covered. Nobody goes without when the government […]

At ABC News (via Memeorandum): I wonder how badly doctored the Afghanistan video will turn out to be? As readers will recall, almost everything about the WikiLeaks Apache video was manufactured and wrong. The folks at Jawa Report so thoroughly eviscerated WikiLeaks they should be up for a Pulitzer. Meanwhile, check out this passage buried […]

At Fox News, “Obama Administration Planning to File Suit Against Arizona Immigration Law,” and Hot Air, “Breaking: WH Will Sue Arizona Over SB1070.” This should be a battle to warm conservative hearts. You’ve got Governor Jan Brewer standing on principle to secure the southern border. She’s got roughly two-thirds of Arizona voters backing her, and […]

At New York Times, “Utah Executes Murderer by Firing Squad.” And at ABC News, “‘He Will Never Assault Anybody Again’.” It’s extremely fascinating. Death by gunshot’s obviously more humane than the peace industry’s lethal injection horror show. Gardner’s attorney’s made an 11th hour appeal to stop the execution, but the wheels of justice kept rolling […]

I’ll be posting some beautiful blonde Sarah Brandner for my Friday night blogging, so stayed tuned. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the music, so overnight folks can enjoy a little beautiful blonde Debbie Harry, “The Tide Is High” (Wikipedia entry here): More at American Power.

Update on the unused boom in Maine. You might remember my post on the excuse for not using the boom was that it didn’t pass their initial quality control test. As I suspected, not only did the Maine boom meet quality standards, it’s actually superior to it’s competition. {Ian] Durham was recently hired by Packgen […]

Hey, I love that title! Published yesterday at Pajamas Media: … folks are now making serious comparisons between President Obama and President Jimmy Carter. It’s easy to dismiss attacks on Obama as “Jimmah” as cheap political points, but when newscasts are opening with counts marking the crisis’ longevity – “Gulf Oil Spill, Day 57” – […]

Update on today’s big viral video. The main story’s at Seattle Post-Intelligencer, “Police Guild: Officer Did Nothing Wrong in Videotaped Punch.” That piece doesn’t identify the teen girl suspect, but at the Seattle Times it turns out the girl, Angel L. Rosenthal, has quite a criminal record: Rosenthal appeared Tuesday in King County Juvenile Court, […]
