A "jobs summit" should have been held the day Obama took office, before insisting on stimulus spending and authoritarian edicts that simply don't work. Now he's begging to small business owners for ideas that actually do work.

Gone is the rhetoric that demonized businesses and bonuses, replaced by an acknowledgment that government can only incentivize job creation. Real jobs are created by the private sector, Obama finally admits.

At least that's how Obama is responding publicly to political pressure from Congress. Obama's brief appearance and pretty speech at the "jobs summit" is actually a political maneuver designed to appease the wrath of the people. I doubt any of the ideas at this meeting will be translated into substantiative policy...

On MSNBC today, Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) claimed then-president George Bush let the al-Qaeda leader go free on purpose in order to provide justification for the subsequent U.S. invasion of Iraq.

And these are the Democrats the people supposedly elected to be their representatives. Hang on... maybe this guy really *is* representative of the character of the American people today: spiteful, ideological, deceitful, slanderous....

"That was done by the previous administration because they knew very well that if they would capture al-Qaeda, there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq..."

Yesterday, Michael Moore dragged his big gross ugly loud stupid disrespectful carcass onto the Tokyo Stock Exchange without as much as a bow and then lectured to the Japanese about becoming too much like the United States...

If I were Japanese....

1) I would be highly insulted to be informed that I was becoming more like Michael Moore, the quintessential ill-mannered ugly American.

2) This event no doubt confirms the already negative image the Japanese have of Americans.

Why am I not surprised?

Of course had this been a conservative enterprise, liberals would be giddy with finger-wagging indignation.... now they are conspicuously silent.

Another corrupt Republican locked away in jail.... or at least that's how the headline would have read if William Jefferson had an "R" in front of his name instead of a "D"...

Because Jefferson is a Democrat, the mainstream (read "liberal") media has only a passing interest in this story. Had Jefferson been a Republican you can be sure that the media would be flogging Jefferson mercilessly as another greedy corrupt and evil Republican.

The point, is that the liberal media twists, omits, and spins every story to demonize conservatives and excuse the same behavior in liberals... or, like the Van Jones story, just let it slip by...

ACORN files a lawsuit against the federal government, saying that the House of Representatives violated the Constitution by passing a resolution barring the group from receiving federal aid, thus constituting a "Bill of Attainder." The lawsuit names as defendants Treasury Sec. Tim Geithner, Sec. of HUD Shaun Donovan, and Dir. Office of Management and Budget Peter Orszag.

Problem with this desperate attempt is that Bills of Attainder impose PUNITIVE legislation, not removal of funding...
