Associated Press figures out that Obama really is a mere mortal
LOL. This is an about face from their pre-(and for that matter, much of their post-) election reporting on The One:
Well, uh, thanks!
I just discovered that I rank 81st out of 100 on Wikio’s Top Political blogs list. That link currently takes you to the January list, but Robert Spencer has a sneak peek at the February list (so far – I guess?) and I’ve moved up three spots to 81. I had no idea such a list existed, but there are some damn fine blogs out there who are also on the list and I feel honored to be among them. So, if you’re a blogger/writer who has been linking to me, thank you! And, of course, if you’re a regular reader, thank you as well Traffic’s been up lately. That’s always a good thing!
DeMint, NYT: Daschle’s nomination should be withdrawn (MORE: DASCHLE WITHDRAWS)
In light of reports of Tom Daschle’s numerous tax issues (the failure to pay them, to be exact, not to mention the lobbyist angle), the heat is intensifying on President Obama to withdraw the former Senate leader’s nomination for HHS. Leading Republican Senator Jim DeMint called for it today, and even the NYT – known propaganda rag for the Obama administration – is calling for a withdraw as well, citing Daschle’s tax issues.
Judea Pearl: Why can’t elites call evil for what it is?
Just got done reading a powerful piece opinion piece (h/t: Dan Collins) in the Wall Street Journal written by Judea Pearl, the father of murdered WSJ reporter Daniel Pearl. Pearl is a professor at UCLA and has seen first hand how terrorist apologists on liberal college campuses can turn “a symposium […] on human rights” into a “Hamas recruitment rally.” He also calls out other elites in the media and elsewhere for their failure to call terrorism for what it is and who instead engage in a “normalizing” of evil that is both repugnant and frightening.
