IBD – Derrick Bell: The Jeremiah Wright Of Harvard
So who was Bell? Glad you asked. Breitbart has part of the answer here, here, here, and here. I’m sure there’s more to come on his embrace of Bell’s radical racist philosophy.
WSJ – A Look at the Global One Percent
City Journal – Not a Penny More: The case for antitax absolutism
A pretty good exposition re why conservatives shouldn’t budge on raising taxes.
Kirsten Powers, Daily Beast – Critics of Rush Limbaugh Ignore Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi Misogyny
She continues her excellent takedown of fellow liberals who insist on ignoring liberal misogyny.

Just another day in the life of the most ethical administration ever.
Brent Bozell, Townhall – GCB: Good Christians Bashed
John Ransom, Townhall Finance – Presidential Pork Kills Keystone
ABC – An American Auto Bailout – For France?
How about paying taxpayers back before investing in more failing companies with our money?
OregonLive – Portland-area couple sues Legacy Health for $3 million for ‘wrongful birth’ after child born with Down syndrome
What a loving message to send to your daughter, not to mention her siblings. “You know, if you hadn’t been perfect we wouldn’t have wanted you either.”
Two doozies from Breitbart:
Michelle Malkin – White House Proposal to Stimulate Volt Sales: Jack up the Taxpayer Subsidy to $10,000 Per Car
Brilliant idea. Take a failed idea Americans don’t support and make it an even more expensive failure.
Andrew Napolitano, Townhall – Can the President Kill You?
Washington Free Beacon – Sebelius has ‘No Idea’ if Obamacare adds to the deficit: Has she read the bill?
Washington Post – The Influence Industry: Obama gives administration jobs to some big fundraisers
The most ethical administration ever.
Nicholas Kristof, NY Times – In Athens, Austerity’s Ugliness
As usual, Kristof has it exactly bass-ackwards. Following Keynes led Greece down the rabbit hole to begin with. They won’t get out until they stop digging, painful though it may be. The same is true for us.
RealClearPolitics – Americans Resisting ObamaCare
Mike Adams, Townhall – Lawless Lesbianism
On the phoniness, double-standard, and contrived outrage over Rush:
The last is the best, as it discusses the tactic in general.
And three in Obama’s green boondoggle:
Breitbart – The Vetting, Part I: Barack’s Love Song To Alinsky
Two (one liberal, one conservative) on the media hypocrisy surrounding Rush:
Michelle Malkin – Obama’s campaign bully brigade rides again
John Ransom, Townhall – Chevy Volt, Perfect Car for the One Percent, Suspends Production
WSJ –
the left’s war on fertility is likely to have its greatest success in reducing the fertility of left-leaning women, thereby ensuring that future generations are more conservative.
CBS – Md. Gun Law Found Unconstitutional
Jonah Goldberg, NRO – Andrew RIP
Telegraph (UK) – Killing babies no different from abortion, experts say
OK, I’ll grant them that, if they’ll grant that abortion is murder.
KOB News (NBC) – Albuquerque dog becomes registered voter
But no, we don’t need voter ID laws.
Humberto Fontova, Townhall – Nero Fiddled, Kennedy Partied

Michelle Malkin – The Autoworkers Obama Left Behind
Two each from Townhall:
and the WSJ:
The Obama foreign policy–snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. And we’re about to do the same in Afghanistan.

Bob Beauprez, Townhall Finance – ObamaCare “Expert-for-Hire” now says Law Will Increase Premiums
Daniel Henninger, WSJ – Obama’s Virtual Economy: It’s endless fun, fiddling with the dials on the real world.
Washington Times – Bonuses given after raises at Solyndra
Steps to make a pile of cash in today’s “green” economy:
- Join company whose investors donated heavily to Obama.
- Drive company into the ground while taking taxpayer-backed loans.
- Pay off Obama-backing investors first rather than taxpayers.
- Collect pay raise plus bonus.
Nice racket if you can get in.

Brilliant thought experiment! Does anyone doubt there would be far more greens murdered than reds?

Jeffrey Lord, American Spectator — Is Media Matters Obama’s Watergate?
WSJ — Concerned Scientists Reply on Global Warming
Award-winning AGW skeptic scientists fire back. Interestingly—to me, at least—they make one of the exact points I brought up with a friend recently: when you have to constantly change your models to match new data because the original models did not correctly predict the new data your modeling has no proven predictive value. Why in the world would we dismantle our world economy based on models with no demonstrable predictive value?
The Hill — Obama: Payroll tax cut extension will help with higher gas prices
Nonsense. That $40 was already being used in my budget last year—before you killed Keystone. It’s not going to help pay for your new gas hikes because it was already being spent to pay for last year’s gas hikes. Maybe you hadn’t noticed, but gas prices have roughly doubled since you took office. Or maybe I shouldn’t expect you to notice…since I’ve been paying both my gas bill and yours for the last three years.

Fox 5 Atlanta — Pizza Chain Clerk Dies From Shooting Wounds
From the pizza chain that has made news more than once for firing delivery drivers who have defended their lives with handguns. Yes, they really would rather have a dead unarmed driver than a live armed one.
