RWN: "Democrats are widely expect to cheat to hold onto the contested Senate seat in Massachusetts — and their strident supporters at MSNBC are egging them on. Here goes Ed Schultz of comrade Obama's favorite network:" Crooks And Liars: "McConnell: Mass. race a 'referendum' on health care" Victor Davis Hanson: ""Let Me Be Perfectly Not Clear" and "Make Lots of Mistakes About It"" Hot Air: "Pollster.com: Brown has significant and growing lead" InstaPundit: "IF OBAMACARE IS SO POPULAR IN MASSACHUSETTS, why didn't Obama mention it?" Ace Of Spades: "No. Freaking. Way. Coackley Calls Curt Schilling "Another Yankee Fan"" Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: "The Savior of Mankind Stumps for Crookley and Gets… Heckled?" JustOneMinute: "Heck of A Job, Barack The NY Times delivers a brutal front page for Obama:" Riehl World View: "Many States Loosen Gun Laws It could be due to the NRA as some people and the lede suggest. Or it could simply be because it's what the people prefer. Ya think?" RWN: "African Dictators to Demand 5% of West's GDP" InstaPundit: "PLAYING GAMES WITH HEALTH CARE NUMBERS: "Proposals that would result in a complete cost estimate are dropped. Because we can't let the public see how much this thing really costs."" Protein Wisdom: "The Hockey Stick v Ice Core Data" Vodkapundit: "When President Obama made his West Point speech on the Afghanistan surge, it included a July, 2011 expiration date...The expiration date on the President's expiration date has expired. And all of it took exactly two weeks." Blackfive: "FOR TODAY, Wednesday 16 December 2009, many if not most, fellow milblogs -- including This Ain't Hell, From My Position, Miss Ladybug, Boston Maggie, Grim's Hall, and those participating in the Wednesday Hero program -- are going silent for the day. Some are choosing to go silent for a longer period of time. The reason for this is two-fold. First, milblogs are facing an increasingly hostile environment from within the military." No Pasaran: "We need to send Al Gore to Edmonton to clear things up (merci à Frank)… Edmonton was the coldest place in North America yesterday morning and the second chilliest in the world. The Edmonton International Airport saw a record low of -46.1 C and -58.4 C with the windchill, outfreezing even the Arctic." Ace Of Spades: "USAToday/Gallup: Obama at 49%, 46% Disapproving; Officially Lowest Level of Support for Modern Presidents at This Point in Tenure In polling jargon, this represents a "B+" level of support." Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ""Nice Little Air Force Base You Have There…t'would be a shame if something were to happen to it…"" TigerHawk: "So, basically we are being asked to restructure the entire economy of the planet on the say-so of a few "scientists" whose work cannot be verified or even reconstructed. Is there any intellectually honest person who thinks that is a good idea?" Riehl World View: "CRU Tossed Raw Data: Global Warming Science Is Dead...The very foundation of science is that it be reproducible. These unprofessional hacks have made re-production of their work to validate their conclusions impossible. It can not legitimately be called science at all at this point. It's rubbish, precisely what their raw data became." InstaPundit: "SO HOW'S THAT "SMART DIPLOMACY" THING WORKING OUT? Iran Plans Ten New Uranium Enrichment Plants." Uncle Jimbo: "Swiss ban construction of minarets" Pajamas Media: "Global WarmingGate: What Does It Mean?" Crooks And Liars: "Sen. Lamar Alexander Calls Medicaid a 'Medical Ghetto'." Oliver Willis: "White House Snarks On GOP Whining About Health Care Bill Page Length" RightWingSparkle: "I think we have all become used to hearing Obama blaming Bush for all his economic problems. As we are coming to the end of the full first year of the Obama presidency, I think it's informative to look back at Bush's first year." Pajamas Media: "Christians Suffer Under the Palestinian Authority" Ace Of Spades: "Study: Yeah, The House Health Reform Bill Would Screw A Lot Of Things Up And As An Added Bonus...Raise Costs. Another one of those 'faux' studies funded by the eviiiiillll health insurance companies? Nope. This one is from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services...the agency that runs those programs for the government." Blackfive: "Get your tickets now for the greatest show to hit the Big Apple in decades. Khalid "Sheik Sheik Sheik" Mohammed and several other acts will be performing on stage in federal court. You have absolutely got to be kidding me. This will be the biggest train wreck in US judicial history. How can they even be contemplating giving that reprehensible sub-human the huge protections and access to information our legal system provides defendants. The scumbag lawyers who will rush to represent him will be clamoring for information on, well..." Victor Davis Hanson: "What Bush Inherited, and What He Left Left Behind: George W. Bush inherited a recession. He also inherited the Iraq no-fly zones, a Middle East boiling after the failed last-minute Clintonian rush for an imposed peace, an intelligence community wedded to the notion of Saddam's WMD proliferation, a Congress on record supporting "regime change" in Iraq, a WMD program in Libya, a Syrian occupation of Lebanon, Osama bin Laden enjoying free rein in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, a renegade Pakistan that had gone nuclear on Clinton's watch with Dr. Khan in full export mode, and a pattern of appeasing radical Islam after its serial attacks (on the World Trade Center, the Khobar Towers, U.S. embassies, and the U.S.S. Cole). In other words, Bush inherited the regular "stuff" that confronts most presidents when they take office. What is strange is that Obama has established a narrative that he, supposedly unlike any other president, inherited a mess." Cassy Fiano: "The DailyKos reaction to the Fort Hood shooting is typical. Rather than sympathizing with the families of the killed or the soldiers who were wounded, or waiting to find out all the facts, they're showing an awful lot of sympathy to the shooter, and they're making up their own facts and motives. And of course, what Daily Kos diary would be complete without the resident Free Republic outrage? A few commenters tried to examine the facts and offer condolences. Most simply blamed the Army, George Bush, or conservatives, and plenty expressed sympathy for the murderer. One person even said that violence is caused by… Texas? Classy." Mudville Gazette: "Zero Tolerance: While the Army may have fumbled the case of Major Nidal Hasan, they certainly didn't have as much difficulty dealing with CJ Grisham. CJ's crime was opposing a uniform policy at his kids' school - and writing about it on his blog." Pajamas Media: "Lesson from NY-23: Of Course Conservatives Can Win" Culture Kitchen: "Although I will take an anti-choice Democrat over an anti-choice Republican any day, I have to say that the 64 Democrats who voted for the anti-choice Stupak-Pitts Amendment are a serious disappointment. Some are expected. Some I really hoped for better and I can safely say I am unlikely to support them in the future." Comments from Left Field: "Victory Puts Health Reform One Step Closer...History indeed, and it was passed with 39 Democratic defections and only 1 Republican – Anh Cao, of Louisiana – the man who replaced William "I left hid the money in the freezer" Jefferson." Bob Cesca: "Congressman George Miller (D-CA) wins the award for best floor remarks of the night. The walk-off at the end was the best part." Daily Kos: "H1N1: More Illness, A Bit More Vaccine, Bruised Intentions
(posted 11/8, 2:01 pm) The Huffington Post: "Letter to Dave Camp: Pelosi: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail.Joseph Cao: Voting For Health Reform Was "A Decision Of Conscience" (VIDEO)" Crooks And Liars: "Lieberman wants probe of 'terrorist attack' at Ft. Hood" Oliver Willis: "These are the 39 "Democratic" members of congress who voted against health care reform. Unlike many bills in the House – even bills about war – this was a non-negotiable one. Not a single Democrat should have voted against this bill, not for it going too far to the left (Shuler, Herseth, etc.) or for not going far enough to the left (Kucinich). The goal of strong health care reform has been a major goal of the Democratic party for much longer than I have been alive. If you aren't going to vote for health care reform, then you shouldn't be a Dem." Vodkapundit: "Bought Off So Cheaply...As soon as the House started the final vote for the day, Cao voted and dashed out the side of the chamber, plugging his ears in jest when reporters approached to find out what happened. According to a written statement released later that night, Cao explained that Obama had promised to help out the lawmaker's district still devastated from Hurricane Katrina." InstaPundit: ""I would have thought that the Obama administration is at least as responsible for the US response to the Swine Flu problem as the Bush administration ever was for the New Orleans response to Katrina, but the media are not reporting it that way. I wonder how those who stood in long lines for hours only to find that there is no vaccine feel about the government's coming takeover of the entire health care system? Will the new health care system work more smoothly than does, say, FEMA? Is there any reason to think so?""(posted 11/8, 12:40 pm) Protein Wisdom: "Letter to Dave Camp: Pelosi: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail." Riehl World View: "So what does this 220-215 vote tell us? Capitol Hill Democrats know that this bill is an albatross." ALLAHPUNDIT: "Gibbs: Can you imagine if, five years ago, protesters had compared our government to Hitler?" Classical Values: "Not to worry! The president promised! When Barack Obama was campaigning against Hillary Clinton, he repeatedly promised that his health insurance plan would not be compulsory, and stated that this was one of the important differences between him and Hillary Clinton. "Watch the whole video for Obama's impassioned criticisms of plans which mandate that people purchase health insurance under threat of fine."
Sweetness & Light: "Suddenly Abortion *Is* In Health Bill" Gateway Pundit: "Flashback: Pelosi Says Not Giving House Members 3 Days to Read Bill Is an "Absolute Outrage" (Video)" Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: "George W. Bush Secretly Visits Fort Hood Victims" Protein Wisdom: "Planned Parenthood's plan to survive the recession… go out and drum up those abortions! This director said "no thanks" and quit." Michelle Malkin: "Ballot Watch: Waiting for the results that everyone tells us mean nothing" Right Wing News: "Corzine Tries to Win Ugly* in New Jersey" Riehl World View: "Hey Ma, I Made The NYT's Without A Mugshot!! With an extensive post quote - not an easy thing for an actual conservative to do without a mugshot, if I may say. Ha!" DANEgerus: "Hillary gets honest" Cold Fury: "Being Called "Stalinists" by the NY Times is Like Being Called, Well, Stalinists by the NY Times" Blackfive: "Military Motivators For Valour-IT - USAF Nancies in the crosshairs" A Western Heart: "Law to save Australian meat pies drafted by politicians" Ace Of Spades: "On the Scene at Hoffman HQ" Baldilocks: "VALOUR-IT is the Soldier's Angels project formed to raise money to purchase special voice-operated laptops, Wii Video Game Systems and personal GPS devices for our heroes who have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the program's fourth year. Four of the services—the Air Force, the Army, the Navy and the Marines—have, as is usual, split into fund-raising teams and of course that knuckle-dragging Army team, lead by Blackfive, is taunting the Air Force." Crooks And Liars: "Michele Bachmann Urges People to 'Pay a House Call' on Congress to Protest Health Care Bill"
