Eddie linked this in comments, but there's nothing quite so deserving of its own post as David Frum having his nose rubbed into his own failure.

Oops! I must have made a typo. I should have written "Obama Voter Lashes Out At Obamacare." Silly me. In fact, this Obama voter sounds almost *gasp* conservative in her views.

But if we with the "Cadillac" health plans have to start paying taxes on our benefits, that's a huge middle class tax increase, and we were promised that wouldn't happen. Rebalancing the pay package doesn't save us from that tax hit — even assuming our employers would reshuffle things. Plus we love our great health benefits, and we were told if we liked them, we'd get to keep them. How is it fair to change the rules on us after we worked so hard to get what we have? The Democrats, including Obama, got elected by saying "middle class" over and over again. They never said they were going to provide for the less fortunate at our expense, and I don't see how they would have gotten elected if they had.

Sarah Palin's book is number one on Amazon right now, it was in second place when I left for work.  I'll be curious to see if she stays up there.  I hope she sells five million, then starts filling stadiums with crowds again.

Comment of the day, at Hotair,

I’m not pre-ordering a copy. I just can’t deny myself the satisfaction of going to a B&N in downtown L.A. and plopping it down on the counter in front of some Lib. If I don’t get a dirt eye roll or a sigh out of someone I’ll be let down.

I can't stand people who talk on their cell phones or send text messages while they're driving, but do we need to make a Federal case out of the issue?

Apparently, yes...

Democratic Sens. Charles E. Schumer of New York and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota spoke at the event to promote a bill they are co-sponsoring that would require states to implement a ban on texting while driving or lose 25% of their federal highway funds.

"We need every state to put safety first," Schumer said. "We need a ban on texting while driving in every state across the country and we need it now."

Sorry for the NYT Link, but Thomas Friedman just proved he is the latest lefty ghoul to be pining for politically charged violence directed at the President.

Others have already remarked on this analogy, but I want to add my voice because the parallels to Israel then and America today turn my stomach: I have no problem with any of the substantive criticism of President Obama from the right or left. But something very dangerous is happening. Criticism from the far right has begun tipping over into delegitimation and creating the same kind of climate here that existed in Israel on the eve of the Rabin assassination

My response?

Please note that I am not responsible for the sudden increase in Rage and blood pressure upon watching this:

Congressman Alan Grayson - on the floor of the House - stated that Republicans want you to die quickly.


Well, Congressman, since you believe that I do want you do die, let me retort.  I shall provide you with the same level of grace and dignity that you provided in these comments.

Fuck you.  Fuck you with the barbed cock of Satan.  Fuck you sideways with a chainsaw.

Look, you ignorant sack of puss, if you really believe this, then pass a bill to make being a Republican illegal.  I mean, the logical conclusion to the idiotic idea that your one firing synapse developed is that Republicans are guilty of pre-meditated murder.  No.  Seriously.  It is.  Grow a pair and do it.  Make being a Republican fucking illegal.   I beg of you.

You ignorant fucking toad, I hope if your mother is alive she doesn't see that so she doesn't die of shame that her child would open his mouth and prove that he's such an ignorant piece of shit that he makes Al Gore look like a genius.  If she's passed, then I hope she haunts you. 

What the ever loving fuckity fuck is WRONG with people?  I am so fucking sick of hearing how the Republicans are so angry and so mean.  Gee.  Huh.  Why the hell would I be angry at being accused of wanting people to die?  It's a mystery!

No points.  No mercy on your soul.

Folks, this story right here is one of the reasons why I am armed.

As his pregnant girlfriend was dragged upstairs, he begged them not to harm her, but one of the men hit him with the butt of the gun.

He told Crimewatch: 'I pleaded, I was shouting, "She's pregnant, she's pregnant, leave off her, tell me what you want".'

The three men left in the Audi after grabbing property including a mobile phone, iPod, cash, debit cards and a laptop.

Police decided to offer the reward after failing to trace the gang. They have released images of three men caught on CCTV at a nearby shop a few minutes before the attack, whom they wish to question.

This new rule raises a number of important questions.  For instance, how do you enforce it?  Whatever happened to the age-old tradition of a necktie or sock tied around the doorknob?  And, most importantly, what if he or she likes to watch?

I wonder if this guy will regret making these comments.

Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo used profanity as he criticized Gov. Steve Beshear and his support of Mongiardo’s U.S. Senate candidacy in a recording posted last week on the Internet.

In the recording, which was placed on YouTube by someone using the name “senrace2010,” Mongiardo is heard saying he is so frustrated with Beshear that he is “close to saying f— it all. I do not need this job. I do not need the U.S. Senate.”

Mongiardo is also heard saying that Beshear, who has endorsed Mongiardo, will be remembered as the state’s “worst” governor and that a “blowup” is coming.

Heh. Oh, and here is the audio (Warning! Naughty language)

Once again, he can't openly state what he believes so he publishes an e-mail that manages to insult Palin's intelligence and push a ridiculous conspiracy theory at the same time.

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but those 400 pages probably surprised everyone.  I'd bet there are whispers in Alaska that she didn't look like she had been writing non-stop for months.  The question on everyone's mind but that everyone's afraid to ask openly is, did Bristol write Sarah's book?

It's early enough in the morning, I'm betting very few of you are too drunk to understand this, unless you're still recovering from last night.

The survival probability of immobile targets annihilated by a population of random walkers on inhomogeneous discrete structures, such as disordered solids, glasses, fractals, polymer networks, and gels, is analytically investigated. It is shown that, while it cannot in general be related to the number of distinct visited points as in the case of homogeneous lattices, in the case of bounded coordination numbers its asymptotic behavior at large times can still be expressed in terms of the spectral dimension and its exact analytical expression is given. The results show that the asymptotic survival probability is site-independent of recurrent structures (2), while on transient structures (>2) it can strongly depend on the target position, and such dependence is explicitly calculated.

Yes, a co-founder of a feminist group, Outraged!^TM, that the Swiss seized Roman Polanski for drugging a 13 year old girl, then forcibly raping and sodomizing her.  You read that right.  Dingbat posts this shit at HuffPo, the odd thing though, if you look, most of the commenters are saying they're glad the fucker has been detained.  So there may even be a disconnect between the leftist elite and run of the mill leftists on this one.  Interesting.

Wow. I knew that Sudan was so fucked up, basket cases call up to tell them to straighten their shit out. But this is fucking ridiculous.

Marauding bands of guerrillas have "crucified" seven Christians during a series of raids on villages in Sudan, with one man tied to a tree and mutilated while six other victims were nailed to pieces of wood and killed.

Villagers who found their bodies near the town of Nzara said it was like a "grotesque crucifixion scene", the Catholic Herald reports {as opposed to a clean one?-ed}.

Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala of Tombura-Yambio is appealing for international help to stop the cycle of violence and attacks by members of the Lord's Resistance Army, saying the government at home appeared powerless against it.
