Steve Haywood at Power Line (h/t Instapundit) has a good post pointing out how the Occupy movement moved quickly from Woodstock to Altamont:

Numerous observers have pointed out how the media and liberals (sorry for the redundancy) lavished sympathy on Occupy Wall Street until it became untenable to continue, after which they...

Yes, there is another debate tonight.  I haven’t decided whether to go “live” or do commentary at the breaks.

While it would be easy to complain about yet another debate, I think the debates have been worthwhile in sorting out the candidates.  Tonight will be the chance to gang up on Newt,...

It’s been a really long time (almost two years, I think) since I’ve done this.

A number of readers have been very generous over the years both in making one time donations and monthly subscriptions (starting at $5 per month) [Some people have had trouble with these links, if so, use the Donate...

What kind of movement calls female supporters ”white bitches”?  And what type of women take that to be a term of endearment?

Via The Atlantic, The Occupy Movement’s Women Problem:

“I’m called ‘that white bitch who gets everything she wants’...

Fresh off seeing Alan Grayson ads all over conservative blogs (including LI), I’m now seeing an independent expenditure campaign against Scott Brown that highlights his conservative votes.

Ironically, it might even be helpful to Brown for such ads to appear on sometimes-skeptical conservative sites to highlight his conservative votes and emphasize how...

I’m a big fan of your blog, and so I’m happy to contribute…

Here’s a bumper sticker I saw today in Sunnyvale, California. This is Santa Clara County, which voted 70% Obama / 29% McCain in 2008.

From the AP: 

With the collapse of the deficit-cutting supercommittee, Congress’ emergency backup budget-cutting plan now is supposed to take over — automatic, across-the-board spending reductions of roughly $1 trillion from military and well as domestic government programs.

But the big federal deficit reductions that are to be triggered by Monday’s supercommittee collapse...

Not that anyone who should try to find out about the distinction would care, but Ayn Rand ≠ libertarianism.

I recently had an email forwarded to me by a friend on an “Occupy” listserve from an academic with the subject line “A little something for the libertarians” with a copy/paste of an article

There is a belief on the right that John McCain lost because he was too liberal and conservatives chose to stay home on election day. Some who hold this belief threaten to go Scozzafava on the GOP and refuse to work to stop Obama if Romney (or in fewer cases, even...

Dr. Melissa Clouthier writing about An Indictment Of Right Leaning Journalism By Ben Domenech:

Here’s the nutshell: The Left-leaning journalism investigates the right. The Right-leaning journalism provides commentary and (and Ben doesn’t say this, but I am) when they do rarely investigate, investigates the right after being given oppo research by someone on...

The same way Ted Kennedy and John McCain did.

And it’s already showing results for Obama.  Mitt Romney’s negatives are rising because of some initial attacks by the Obama campaign apparatus on Romney’s “core” and his Wall Street connections:

What happens when you combine OWS with the Recall Walker movement? A perfect storm of horrible (embedding not working for me right now, so linked):

Hat tip: GatewayPundit.

You probably have heard about the inappropriate booing of one of our national figures.  Such conduct undoubtedly reflected latent racial tingedness and ethnic subtextism.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has issued a profile of the type of person who engages in such conduct, after an exhaustive study of the person who once threw a Bible at Obama:

… a Glenn Beck...

… unless you read the Bible in public school.

Spotted this vehicle in Albany, NY, last week when I made a day trip there (about 3 hours from Ithaca):

So? What makes you think that would give him a second thought?

The quoted language in the headline is from Pat Caddell and Doug Shoen in a column at The Wall Street Journal urging Obama not to run for re-election for the sake of preserving the Democratic Party, The Hillary Moment:

When Harry...
