New word you can’t say: “Yellow”
Asian-American grievance-mongers and “diversity” bureaucrats in Atlanta need to justify their existence and their salaries.
They found the perfect opportunity. Cry “yellow!”:
Asian-American activists offended that MARTA re-named the train line into the heart of Atlanta’s Asian community the “yellow line” will take their objections to the transit agency’s chief on Friday.
“Yellow,” as a term for skin [...]

Scroll for updates…Becker goes down…
I filled you in last October on Craig Becker, the radical SEIU lawyer whom President Obama nominated for a slot on the National Labor Relations Board.

The Census educrats are urging your schools to turn your kids into government cheerleaders — literally.

Gitmo-bashing judge rebuked; lax sentence for millennium bomber rejected
Hell has frozen over. Pigs are sprouting wings. The left-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has removed a moonbat judge from the botched LAX millenium bomber case and ruled that his sentence was too short, unreasonable, and in blatant violation of federal sentencing guidelines.
The story is breaking. Seattle P-I reports:
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of [...]
Obama budget exposes nuclear lie
In his State of the Union Address, President Obama purported to reach across the aisle by endorsing a “new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants”…before pushing cap and trade.
The nearly $4 trillion budget he released today exposes his nuclear lie.
It zeroes out funds for the besieged Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility in Nevada — [...]
Cirque du Jihad: Coming to a federal court near you?
My syndicated column today expands on Tuesday’s blog post about the Aafia Siddiqui terror trial debacle in New York City (see here for background/links) and what it portends for the future. Yes, I call it Cirque du Jihad. The White House and DOJ are now scrambling to cook up contingency plans for their jihadi show [...]
The state of Obama’s dis-union
My syndicated column today torches President Obama’s fiscal freeze follies. A new CBO reports says the year-old Porkulus will now cost $75 billion more than originally estimated. Which is why the White House is scrambling to de-emphasize its spending discipline pose and talk about something else. Anything else. Like new legislation “restricting foreign corporations from [...]
Fill in the blank: Obama proposing spending freeze is like…
The ballyhooed budget spending freeze that will be a feature of the State of the Union address tomorrow doesn’t cover behemoth entitlement programs.
It doesn’t cover a second stimulus.
It is limited to an electorally-timed three-year period.
The White House is already promising that favored left-wing programs in education and the environment would get a [...]

Rat Rally: Backlash against Ben Nelson still growing
They call themselves the “Nebraskans Advisory Group” — a small band of citizens angry (yes, ANGRY!) about Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson’s ridiculous Demcare cop-out/sell-out/attempted shameless do-over. Group founder Susan Smith e-mails that a dozen members stood out in the snow for their first “Rat Rally” last weekend.
A few choice photos:
The protesters have plenty of company. [...]
The Astroturf Presidency
Who is Ellie Light?
I predict you’ll start seeing the question as a popular bumper sticker soon (a la “Who is John Galt?”…and voila, someone has already made a t-shirt!).
It’s a handy rhetorical rejoinder the next time the White House or your nutroots neighbors and co-workers try to tar the Tea Party or any other [...]
McCain-backed GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina hearts Jesse Jackson — and radical gender politics
As if California GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina’s massive bailout-supporting economic advice for John McCain wasn’t bad enough (reminder from yesterday’s column: “In California, McCain’s PAC supports former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina – a celebrity name with deep pockets of her own, massive media exposure, and a checkered business record. Fiorina served as the economic [...]

Remember the proposed Dem tax on investment income to pay for the government health care takeover that I told you about the other day?
Just a follow-up on the backroom deals being cut by Obama and his Big Labor thug-cronies, via The Foundry. Here’s what the tax will pay for:
Yesterday, President Barack [...]
Martha Coakley’s Marie Antoinette/Jon Corzine moment; Update: Curt Schilling responds to Coakley
Scroll for updates…
Elitist billionaire Democrat Jon Corzine got his comeuppance last fall after driving New Jersey’s economy into the ground, driving businesses out of state, flaunting his wealth and power, and enabling systemic corruption. A moment late in the hotly-contested gubernatorial race served as the tipping point: Corzine’s fat jokes about Chris Christie. Corzine looked [...]

There’s a religious exemption from the Demcare insurance mandate
I think there’s going to be a wave of religious conversions this year. The Watertown Daily News reported this weekend that Amish families can claim an exemption from the Demcare’s planned government health care insurance mandate as a matter of faith:
Federal health care reform will require most Northern New Yorkers — but not all, [...]
High anxiety: DNC dispatches helper to Boston. SEIU and White House next?
Humming High Anxiety…
Politico’s Ben Smith reports that the DNC is sending a senior press aide up to Boston to help out Democrat Sen. candidate Martha Coakley.

How about the White House? Maybe we’ll get our reverse Midas wish, after all!

Bombshell: Brown leads Coakley in MA Senate race; Update: Globe poll shows Coakley up 15
Scroll for updates…
I noted on Friday that libs were getting “anxious” about the MA Senate race.
The latest numbers from Public Policy Polling should have them hitting the panic button even faster:
The Massachusetts Senate race is now a toss up.
Buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from Democratic voters in the state, Republican [...]
Here comes another multi-billion-dollar Green Jobs boondoggle
Gird your loins.
The latest job numbers are out and they’re worse than expected.
Which means it’s time for another White House green jobs boondoggle campaign:
The White House pitched Friday’s jobless report as the start to stabilization while President Barack Obama planned to push for another $5 billion to help create much-needed jobs.
Obama planned an afternoon [...]
CrotchBomberGate report: What’s missing
President Obama had his teleprompter tuned up this afternoon and apparently sipped a bit of Red Bull before taking another stab at making an I’m Really, Really Serious This Time statement about the UndyBomber case. Resolve does not come naturally in this White House.
You can read the brief, 6-page “security review” released by the White [...]
The anti-Prop. 8 mob strikes again

SFGate.com reports:

Culture of Corruption casualty: Chris Dodd bows out; CT AG Blumenthal to run
Charter member of the Team Obama Culture of Corruption
During the Christmas break, corruptocrat Sen. Chris Dodd held a press conference hailing the Senate government health care takeover bill. But he couldn’t distract from the stink of his ethics scandals and his mounting unpopularity at home.
A prescient constituent heckled him during the press conference:
“You’re not gonna [...]
