Go to HillBuzz and see for yourself

Why is it that HillBuzz, a blog by centrist Democratic gay men, has the scoop on what should have been in the headlines yesterday about Obama at the G-20, instead of Obama’s iPod gift to the Queen of England and his confusion about the correct way to speak of the United Kingdom? Update: Michelle Malkin …

'The Economist' parched by blast from 'Hot Air'; plus, did A.I.G. became the face of capitalism as Obama applied Saul Alinsky's Rule 12?

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.

Picture of Dorian Obama

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 …

Why ridicule is Obama's Kryptonite

I remember when I was in high school (1967 to 1971) my father’s great enthusiasm for the books of Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman philosopher and author of The True Believer. Dad’s copy is next to my keyboard now and I see it is dated “April 4, 1970,” so he bought it when he was about …

Phaeton: the myth of Obama

I am surprised that so far no one has picked up on the similarity of Obama’s narrative to the one in Greek mythology of Phaeton, whose mother was an Ethiopian and whose father was Helios, the god of the sun. Like Obama, Phaeton succeeded in getting himself in charge of something for which he had …

The chilling explanation of why Obama is cool

Much is made of Obama’s so-called cool and calm demeanor and how this makes him superior to ordinary mortals who get emotional about stuff, and how this means he clearly has magic powers to keep all of his contradictory and often mutually-exclusive promises because if he didn’t, why, then we would know because he’d act …

Understanding Obama

I was tempted to title or subtitle this, “Time to Call a Spade a Spade,” but I’m just not as slippery as Obama in getting out of immature crap like his “lipstick on a pig” remark (which was so rehearsed and deliberate he closed his eyes to help himself remember it before delivering the line) …
