From GOP Rep. Pete Hoekstra’s office, a demand for transparency from the Obama administration on its Gitmo relocation plans:
[Hoekstra,] the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, used a rare, open hearing of a House Intelligence Subcommittee to highlight the fact that nine months to the day after President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order [...]

The WSJ spotlights tax code affirmative action for golf club carts:
We thought cash for clunkers was the ultimate waste of taxpayer money, but as usual we were too optimistic. Thanks to the federal tax credit to buy high-mileage cars that was part of President Obama’s stimulus plan, Uncle Sam is now paying Americans to buy [...]

The Zero Tolerance Tyrants claim another victim:
Zachary is six years old and was a first grader at Downes Elementary School in Newark, Delaware.

On October 5, I reported on the parental backlash against the SEIU-led campaign to drag Illinois home health care workers into the union fold. Mom Pam Harris, whose grass-roots activism has inspired folks across the country, continues to spread the word about the state Democratic machine and the unions’ underhanded tactics. The local Fox affiliate [...]

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports tonight that the ACORN/Rathke embezzlement sum was $5 million, not the widely cited $1 million figure admitted publicly to date by the left-wing racketeering group.
But guess what? The figure is not new — and it is not news to the whitewashers at the New York Times. More [...]

The Naked Emperor revisited.

Patterico reported over the weekend that lecherous child predator/director Roman Polanski’s Washington Post defender Anne Applebaum failed to mention in her latest pro-Polanski blog post that her husband is a Polish politician actively lobbying for Polanski’s freedom.
Applebaum now says she “had no idea that my husband, who is in Africa, would, or could do anything [...]

Something horrible happened to Bill Sparkman, who worked part-time as a Census worker in rural southeastern Kentucky.
He was found dead. Tied to a tree. Preliminary tests show he died of asphyxiation.
But the “cause of Sparkman’s death is under investigation, and authorities have not ruled out suicide, an accident or homicide, said Kentucky state police spokesman [...]

“The deciding factor is overtime, not security.”

Left high and dry.

Channeling clueless Charlie Gibson and Nancy Pelosi, President Obama is playing dumb about ACORN. Here’s what he said on ABC’s This Week this morning:
STEPHANOPOULOS: But have your — have some of your allies made it easier for — handed your opponents some ammunition, like ACORN, for example…
OBAMA: Well, look, the — you [...]

This is absolutely horrifying for any parent to watch. STLToday.com reports that police say the black-on-white student beating was completely unprovoked and racially motivated. Watch as many students cheer the attack — and the bus driver is nowhere to be seen:
 
Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft wonders where Al Sharpton is.
I wonder where President Obama will be. [...]

I can’t make it to Washington DC today for the national 9/12 march, but I’m with all the marchers in spirit.
It’s been an unprecedented year for limited government activism. It would never have been possible without the early initiative of grass-roots leaders in the #tcot community on [...]

How Obama cronyism threatens rail security

New Delhi. Mumbai. Chechnya. Madrid. London. The question isn’t whether America will suffer a jihadi attack on our passenger rail lines, but when. So, why has President Obama neutered the nation’s most highly-trained post-9/11 counterterrorism rail security team?
All signs point to business-as-usual cronyism and pandering to [...]

I thought this would be a useful refresher as President Obama’s September 8 junior lobbyist recruitment speech approaches. It’s his Chicago pal Bill Ayers’ 2006 speech at the World Economic Forum in Caracas, Venezuela.
You can separate Obama from radical Ayers’ neighborhood. But you can’t separate Ayers’ radicalism from Obama.
President Hugo Chavez, Vice-President Vicente Rangel, Ministers [...]

I reported on Monday that wackjob science czar John Holdren is scheduled to make a second appearance on David Letterman’s late-night CBS show. (He first appeared last spring to stir up global warming hysteria.)
Just a reminder to set your Tivos. It’s still a go, according to the Letterman Show website.
To help The Perv’s writers out, [...]

Weasel.

My syndicated column below rakes the State Department over the coals on its decision to grant Moammar Gadhafi entry into this country next month and its feckless efforts to accommodate his camping trip to New Jersey.
Related reading: Here’s a blood pressure-raising piece on Gadhafi’s luxury tent, which he plans on pitching in the backyard [...]

What a weasel.
Former Bush DHS head Tom Ridge is hyping his upcoming tell-all book, which claims that the Bush administration pressured him for political reasons to raise threat level assessments.
But not a single official will back him up…including himself!
The money paragraphs in the New York Times today on Ridge’s allegations:
Tom Ridge, the first secretary of [...]

What a disaster.
A disaster from which Washington will learn absolutely nothing:
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood assured car dealers Wednesday that they will be reimbursed for sales made under the cash-for-clunkers program and said the department would soon offer plans to wind down the popular car incentives.
LaHood said the department will announce by Friday how it [...]

Bill Sammon points out what I reported on at length in my “Assassination Chic” chapter of Unhinged and in years of my Unhinged blog archives: Journalists don’t care about nutballs and extremely extreme extremists unless they can be used to embarrass conservatives.
As it has always been:
News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric [...]

In May, I told you how the Service Employees International Union’s $61 million investment in Barack Obama paid off with cabinet appointments, executive orders, key personnel slots, and legislative goodies.
Now, the SEIU thugs are looking out for The Boss. In Tampa, Florida and St. Louis today, the Purple People turned out to [...]

Howard Kurtz at the Washington Post sheds a little light on how Rahm F’n Emanuel leaned on network news executives to carry President Obama’s health care news conference. It’s the Chicago way.
In the days before President Obama’s last news conference, as the networks weighed whether to give up a chunk of their precious prime time, [...]

This week, every conservative commentator or Republican politician who appeared on TV got the Birther litmus test. Journalists didn’t care about the issue. Their agenda was embarrassing the Right.
If they cared about wackjobs espousing conspiracy theories, they’d be grilling every liberal commentator or Republican politician who appeared on TV about the wackjob science czar, John [...]

Stacy McCain updates the story that the Obama administration wants to go away:
“We’re not there yet,” one Democratic source on Capitol Hill said last week, when asked about the prospect for hearings on the Obama administration’s firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin. Congressional investigators are still conducting interviews in the case, so the question [...]

I called him a wretched dog last month, and he continues to live up (er, down) to the label.
We now know that Nevada Republican Sen. John Ensign enlisted his parents to pay off his mistress/former campaign staffer and her husband/former intimate family friend/Senate employee to the tune of $96,000. Yeah, he bollixed up his own [...]

Ouch, my sides hurt from laughing.
The Washington Post says its newsroom didn’t know about the pimp deal its business/marketing side was making. The flyer advertising pay-per-view meetings with Washington Post reporters and editors and Obama officials wasn’t properly “vetted,” the paper tells Politico.
Uh-huh:
Post spokesperson Kris Coratti has now sent the following statement to POLITICO:

It’s the only fitting word for a man who abandons his wife and four sons on Father’s Day weekend to indulge his “overdrive” on an Argentinian fling.
Mark Sanford: Bastard.

If you missed Sanford’s rambling, surreal disaster of a press conference, consider yourself lucky.
He had a hell of a lot more passion and pathos for his mistress [...]

If this is true, it’s absolutely disgraceful. Via Stephen Gutowski at Newsbusters:
AOL News has been bending over backwards lately to make sure that the do not cover the controversy surrounding Playboy.com writer Guy Cimbalo’s vile attack on conservative women. AOL News has taken some drastic steps to censor any mention, let alone criticism, of Playboy’s [...]
