No new trial for Death Row cop-killer Mumia abu Jamal
The good news: SCOTUS ruled today that left-wing poster boy/convicted Death Row cop-killer Mumia abu Jamal will not get a new trial:
Mumia Abu-Jamal has lost his bid for a new trial in the killing of a Philadelphia police officer in 1981.
The Supreme Court said Monday it will not take up Abu-Jamal’s claims that prosecutors improperly [...]

Another crappy Obama nomination
I was going to ask whether Barack Obama’s vetters had taken a vacation.
But that would presume that they ever actually showed up for work.
The latest nightmare Obama nomination? Charles Freeman, the White House pick “to serve as chairman of the group that prepares the U.S. intelligence community’s most sensitive assessments, according to three congressional aides.” [...]

“Car czar” out, “Presidential Task Force on Autos” in
We are truly living an Ayn Rand novel-come-to-life nightmare:
President Obama has given up on landing a “car czar” to oversee the auto industry’s restructuring. Instead, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will be in charge, administration officials said Sunday night.
The czar was to have evaluated turnaround reports that are due Tuesday from GM and Chrysler as part [...]
The barbaric Muslim beheading in Buffalo
Do you think this will get as much attention from the MSM as, say, the Ted Haggard scandal or Pat Robertson’s Teletubbies remarks?
Somehow, I doubt it. (Link):
Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband — an influential member of the local Muslim community — reported her [...]

Friday the 13th open thread
What a fitting day to pass the Generational Theft Act, eh?
Obama’s presidency so far has been the Friday the 13th presidency. Every day brings bad luck. Richardson, Daschle, Gregg. Who’s next in line? (Rossputin translates Gregg’s withdrawal statement here.)
Are you very superstitious? Feel free to sound off.

Who’s ready to sue over Census power grab?
Let’s go:
Under Obama’s plan, the director of the U.S. Census Bureau, who has yet to be named, would report to White House senior management in addition to the Commerce Department, which oversees the bureau.
A Senate committee has scheduled a hearing next month on the potential change. Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee are [...]
Hey, GOP: Prove Joe Biden wrong
The Club for Growth has a message for the GOP. I second this:
While out stumping for the President’s spending spree today, Vice-President Joe Biden predicted that more Republicans would vote for the Democratic stimulus bill. The Club for Growth urged all Republicans in the House and the Senate to prove the Vice-President wrong.
“The stimulus [...]

You’ve got hate mail!
There has been an interesting uptick in the usual volume of hate mail.
I sense a disturbance in the Obama Force. The nutroots aren’t happy with how the Generational Theft Act debate is playing out. They’re impatient with the pace of Revolutionary Change. And they really, really don’t like that Fox News hasn’t been shut [...]
