Attorney General Eric Holder, Team Obama’s Dirty Dozen (get your trading cards here)
I mentioned this event in my Fort Hood column last week — and it went as nauseatingly as expected: Corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder flew to Detroit last night to pay homage to Arab-American/Muslim grievance groups and to reassure them that he’s backing [...]

David Hamilton is a hard Left, former ACORN fund-raiser and abortion radical who was rated “not qualified” by the ABA.
Now, via LifeNews, he is federal judge:

We’ve had Bush Derangement Syndrome. Cheney Derangement Syndrome. Female Conservative Derangement Syndrome. And Palin Derangement Syndrome.
But this week, the blogging world saw the first definitive case of Palin-Induced Psychosis suffered by the Atlantic magazine’s Andrew Sullivan.
It’s not a pretty sight.
Watch him completely unravel here and here.
Jules Crittenden provides a road map to Crazytown.

On Monday, I spotlighted SEIU thuggery in Allentown, Pa., over a Boy Scout’s volunteer work. SEIU’s Nick Balzano threatened to file a grievance when a teenager pursuing his Eagle Scout badge contributed too much free labor clearing walking paths and improving his neighborhood.

Democrat Rep. Dianne DeGette of Colorado is leading the charge to keep abortion funding in the Obamacare/Pelosicare government health care takeover bill.

I’d be burning the phone lines right now if I were an Ohio taxpayer:
Ohio taxpayers are right in the middle of the civil rights lawsuit that Samuel Joseph — “Joe the Plumber” — Wurzelbacher has filed against three former state employees, charging that they illegally accessed his confidential information through state databases.
Ohio Attorney General Richard [...]

Everyone has commented on the cover photo of Sarah Palin that Newsweek editors used — a photo from a Runner’s World spread taken during the campaign.
Whatever the intentions of the left-wing Newsweek editors, I think Sarah looks fabulous.
The truly tasteless photo of Palin that no one is talking about is inside the magazine on p. [...]

The printing plants of several newspapers in New York City were raided today as part of a corruption probe into union/Mob ties.
It will be interesting to see how vigorously the newspapers cover the story, no?

If there is a shining example of just how dangerous it is for America to give foreign-born jihadists the full panoply of American constitutional rights and all the attendant benefits of a civilian trial, it is Lynne Stewart.
I’ve written about her treacherous collaboration with the Muslim terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman many times over [...]

I’ve linked in previous years to the word of the year announcement by Oxford University Press. It’s usually good fun and water cooler-worthy.
Today, OUP unveiled 2009’s word of the year: “Unfriend.”
But it was one of the runner-up words that caught my eye:
“Teabagger.”
Yes, they chose “teabagger” and defined it thusly:
teabagger -a person, who protests President Obama’s [...]

The Tea Party movement is going strong from the reddest of red states to the bluest corners of the country.

Justice is served. The race hustlers will bray and moan, but disgraced Democrat Rep. William “Cold Cash” Jefferson had it coming. Thirteen years in prison for what the judge in the case called “the most extensive and pervasive pattern of corruption in the history of Congress:”

It’s Friday. The president is flying off to Asia. Congress is not in session. Perfect time to drop a bombshell on the American people:
The Obama administration is bringing 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed to New York City for a civilian trial.
No, it’s not a joke. Via the NYT:
Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and [...]

The thug politics power couple of Anita “A Pox on Fox” Dunn and Bob “The Silencer” Bauer isn’t going anywhere. I said it earlier this week and on Fox News early Thursday morning (vid here).
Now comes word late tonight that Bauer is indeed — as has been rumored for nearly a month via Glenn Beck [...]

This is how they roll in Barack and Michelle Obama’s Chicago. The 26-year-old son of Nation of Islam chieftain Louis Farrakhan gets a $63,000 government job as a “business manager” in C(r)ook County after the Nation of Islam-endorsed C(r)ook County Board president, Todd Stroger, wins his seat.
The local Fox affiliate pressed Stroger on the patronage [...]

Well, this puts a perfect exclamation point on my diversity column: Look at the p.c. pretzel that the Naval Academy twisted itself into in order to try and engineer picture-perfect diversity among its color guard:

Problem: Too many damned conservative authors dominating the New York Times best-seller lists.
Solution: A Fairness Doctrine from books!

Hey, you know how President Obama constantly carps about having inherited all the nation’s worst problems? Well, there’s one problem he did indeed inherit from the Bush administration — but it’s a problem he won’t acknowledge because it indicts the wretched excesses of the Left. The problem is Washington’s tolerance fetish. The path to [...]

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served our great nation. Thank you for your courage and dedication. Thank you for our freedom. We can’t say it enough.

A few weeks ago, intrepid Harry Reid was telling us he wouldn’t be “bound by any timelines” and wouldn’t rush the government health care takeover through the Senate on a White House-imposed schedule.
Neeeever mind:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) late Tuesday laid the groundwork for the Senate’s healthcare reform debate to start next Tuesday.
Reid filed [...]
