Obamedia watch.
After constant exposure to Obamessiah imagery, happy dances, hagiographic profiles, tingling, weeping, and ogling, voters conclude that yes, yes, mainstream journalists are in the tank for Obama. Rasmussen via Allahpundit: Well, duh
LBDS.
First Lady Laura Bush made a surprise visit to Afghanistan over the weekend to push for more world aid for the war-torn country and to lobby for women's rights/education. She met with Afghan president Hamid Karzai and greeted US troops at Bagram. Unlike some first ladies, she doesn't need to embellish reports of her trip...
Read More"Father Pfleger has a certain flair."
Well, it looks like the Catholic Church in Chicago has lost whatever balls it found when it temporarily suspended Pfoaming-at-the-mouth preacher of hate Michael Pfleger for his racially poisoned sermon a few weeks ago. Because he's baaaack. Again. The Chicago Trib reports that Obama's longtime friend and earmark recipient will return to St. Sabina on...
Read MoreCounterinsurgency in the Bay Area public schools.
I've been following the battle over the JROTC program in the San Francisco public schools for the last year and a half. When last we visited the fight in December, the program had been given a temporary reprieve--much to the consternation of the anti-war zealots who oppose the hundreds and hundreds of students (many of...
Read MoreUnconventional wisdom from Lawrence Solomon at the Financial Times in response to the global warming alarmists: Unlike the many scientists who welcome CO2 for its benefits, many other scientists and most governments believe carbon dioxide to be a dangerous pollutant that must be removed from the atmosphere at all costs. Governments around the world are...

Will you be tuning into the Hillary speech-- or doing something more fruitful with your time today? I'll be listening while on the road. Feel free to shoot the breeze. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
"PUMA."
Scroll down for updates...12:31pm Eastern Still a no-show. C-SPAN says she's running upwards of an hour late. Hmmmm...Allahpundit's got all the latest at Hot Air... Hillary's giving her concession speech today at noon. Her campaign will run the full statement on her website. You'll be able to find it everywhere else on TV and the...

Today is the 64th anniversary of D-Day. Two items for you to commemorate. 1) First, read Ronald Reagan's unforgettable Pointe du Hoc speech on the 40th anniversary. 2) Watch this brilliant video produced last year by The Combat Report on how today's media would have covered the 1944 Normandy invasion. Dead on:
Tingly all over.
Via US magazine, Oprah says she's "euphoric" over her buddy Barack O's triumph: "'I've been doing the happy dance all day,' she tells Entertainment Tonight." Perhaps Oprah can invite the MSNBC producer who wept over Obama on her show. Next, they can interview Chris Matthews' leg to discuss their collective state of enthrallment and en-tingle-ment....
Read MoreMarriage from hell.
The Democrat presidential nominee and his arch-rival met yesterday in D.C., where they reportedly had a "productive discussion" about "unity." All the continued Beltway chatter of an Obama-Clinton ticket reminds me of the 1980s marriage-gone-bad movie, "The War of the Roses." Barack + Hillary = Oliver Rose/Michael Douglas + Barbara Rose/Kathleen Turner = union from...

While the massive tax hike/green slush fund bill will most likely be shelved, it'll come back sooner or later. And when it...

Obamedia Watch.
When female journalists aren't staring at Barack Obama's jeans, they're bawling their eyes out. Via Eric Gargiulo, here's MSNBC anchor Mika Brezinski talking about how her producer gal pal broke down and shed tears of joy upon learning that their savior had clinched the Democrat presidential nomination. Have a extra-heavy-duty air sickness bag handy:
Tinfoil hat alert.
It's the latest Democrat National Committee conspiracy. Watch out for a tinfoil shortage this summer.
Name that party!
Yep, we've got another deadbeat, defaulting politician on our hands. Guess how many paragraphs you have to read before her political affiliation is revealed? Hint for those who don't have the time to dig deep down to find it: She's a member of the same party to which deadbeat, defaulting Congresswoman Laura Richardson belongs. Via...

Here's an update on the Texas school that failed to inform parents about a mandatory Islam presentation taught by CAIR officials (background here). The principal who allowed it has been reassigned. Via the Houston Chronicle blog: Take it with a grain of salt. CAIR hopes to give their presentation at other public schools. You've been...

"This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew."
"This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew." That was Barack Obama's response to his corrupt crony's convictions. Q: How many times can Barack Obama claim to be shocked, shocked by the behavior of his longtime friends? A: As long as the press keeps ogling, he'll surf his way to November.
Another one under the bus.
Scroll for updates... It's coming. But you know, it's just a "distraction." And this discussion is definitely not good for Barack and Michelle Obama's kids. ABC: "The jury in the federal corruption trial of Antonin Rezko has reached a verdict, according to the court. The verdict will be delivered in court at 3:45 p.m. central...
Read MoreAn illustration of double standards.
I have an entire blog category devoted to assassination chic. It's a staple of the unhinged Left, whose writers, playwrights, artists, documentarians, and politicians can't get enough of BDS-infused merchandise, jokes, child brainwashing, and signage. Yes, there's the occasional gaffe on the Right (hello, Mike Huckabee), but scroll through my assassination chic posts and you'll...
Read More"Deflated."
Here's a handy tour of flaky Michael Pfleger "through the years." His good, mutual America-damning friend Jeremiah Wright is appealing to the Catholic Church to reinstate him. A few of his radical flock are even holding a hunger strike in his honor. Pfleger's still moping, but at least he has his dog: "I asked the...
Read MoreThe deadbeat corruptocrat they deserve. Plus: Ed McMahon's house woes.
Well, I guess the voters of the 37th congressional district in California don't care if they're represented by a habitual deadbeat. Democrat Rep. Laura Richardson, the serial home loan defaulter, cruised to an easy primary victory. Three weeks after a Sacramento weekly publication first exposed her serial mortgage woes and default-for-campaign cash scheme, her Democrat...
Read MoreMy syndicated column this week turns the spotlight on the nefarious business practices of the government-funded, billion-dollar Planned Parenthood empire. Congress has interrogated banking, energy, tobacco, and oil execs--treating them like serial killers before the cameras. When will they go after a corrupt industry that has real blood on its hands? On a related front,...
