DONALD SENSING: FoxNews Channel is not the real target, and the rest of the media need to wake up to the crosshairs on them, too. I don’t think the Alinsky playbook will work this time. But it’s telling that the White House feels otherwise.

BUMMER: Further Study Undercuts HIV Vaccine. “Scientists acknowledged that an HIV vaccine recently tested in Thailand may be less effective than they originally suggested, but said it still provided valuable leads for further research.”

TO BE A “REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION,” YOU HAVE TO BE IN BED WITH THE WHITE HOUSE: Yesterday’s off-the-record briefing with Obama included Olby and Maddow.
UPDATE: Brit Hume: How Do You Like Being “Patted On The Head” By The White House?
ANOTHER UPDATE: Mickey Kaus: “I do think independence is essential to be a legitimate player in the the new, emerging non-objective press world. If you’re independent, there’s always a chance you’ll change your mind.” So Breibart qualifies, but is Fox independent? Kaus says no.
DAVID POST ON DOMAIN BULLYING: “A posting over on the Big Government blog details recent attempts by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to shut down the website at AFTExposed.com (which, as you might guess from the name, doesn’t have very nice things to say about the AFT). . . . It’s pretty much pure unadulterated nonsense, little more than an attempt by the AFT to silence a critical voice, and I hope that the AFTExposed.com folks don’t cave in to the pressure. The trademark claim is very, very weak; consumers are pretty stupid sometimes, but they are not nearly stupid enough to be confused into thinking that a site called ‘AFTexposed,’ which has as it’s tagline prominently displayed at the top of the site ‘The website the AFT doesn’t want you to see,’ is somehow affiliated with the AFT.”
KINDA LATE, BUT WHAT THE HELL: Maddow Finally Apologizes for Saying Limbaugh Wanted MLK’s Assassin to Get Medal of Honor. Kind of a grudging apology, though. “Apparently”?
A BUNCH OF new releases on Blu-Ray.
ELECTION FRAUD in Troy, New York. Shockingly, ACORN is mentioned.
UPDATE: More from Gateway Pundit.
SHANNON LOVE: What the Limbaugh Quote Hoax Really Tells Us. “What does it portend for American non-leftists that a wide and powerful swath of the American left apparently believes it quite credible that a major media figure with an audience in the tens of millions looks back fondly on slavery and approves of political assassination? What draconian methods could those leftists rationalize using if they really believe they are fighting people with such values?”
MOST STUNNING MEDICAL IMAGES OF 2009.
THE HILL: Democrats Lock Republicans Out Of Committee Room. “Towns’ action came after repeated public ridicule from the leading Republican on the committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), over Towns’s failure to launch an investigation into Countrywide Mortgage’s reported sweetheart deals to VIPs.”
BIGGOVERNMENT.COM: Rush or Reverend Al: Will the Real Racist Please Stand Up?
DON’T THINK OF IT AS VANDALISM: Think of it as “guerrilla street art!” You know, like Shepard Fairey!
HEY, AT LEAST SOMEBODY’S HIRING.
SO IF MODERATELY OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE LIVE JUST AS LONG, does that mean we can tell the fat-nannies to shut up?
MY GOODNESS: McDonnell Leads Deeds 59-40. The WaPo will have to come up with its “Macaca” story soon if it’s to salvage this race. . . .
