H/T Michelle Malkin The Economist endorsed Obama for president and now is having buyers’ remorse, apparently in the hope of salvaging some of its credibility given the all-consuming, prosperity-sucking black hole socialist coup Obama’s presidency has turned out to be in just two months. Ed Morrissey blasts their tardy admission of misgivings at Hot Air …

Black Panthers' bomb almost killed my father and me 39 years ago today
My father and I came within five-to-10 minutes of being killed by a Black Panthers’ bomb that detonated in the car of the bombers just after they crossed Tollgate Road at Route 1 in Bel Air, Maryland. The bombers were on their way out of town because their intended target, the Bel Air Courthouse, where …

Is Obama's mandatory 'voluntary' public service corps the slippery slope to the Weathermen's vision of re-education death camps?
I came upon this story at I Saw the Right, which may have gotten the illustration above from Six Meat Buffet. Protein Wisdom picked it up from Weasel Zippers, which got it from World Net Daily News, as quoted below. The idea in my headline that Obama’s mandatory “volunteer” corps is a slippery slope to the …
You learn the most interesting things about Obama at HillBuzz
I dearly love those nice young gay men at HillBuzz and read them every day.

I met Ed Morrissey of Hot Air at Bloggers Row at CPAC for the first time today and I have to say he is a scholar and a gentleman. He asked me how I first started on the path from liberalism to conservatism and I promised him I would write a post on this part …
The enemy at the gate
My father attended the University of California at Berkeley in the 1930’s and early 40’s studying nuclear physics from undergrad through Ph.D. under Robert Oppenheimer and Ernest Lawrence with Nobel laureate Emilio Segre as his doctoral thesis advisor. His family lived near the university so he took the tram for seven cents, or walked a …
Why ridicule is Obama's Kryptonite
