STEVE CROWDER Trick Or Treat At The White House.
A really scary trick would have been one of these out front . . . .
OKAY SO THE SCOZZAFAVA WITHDRAWAL came too late to update my Sunday Washington Examiner column. But since the point of my column is that what happens after the election is more important than the election itself, that’s okay . . .
THOMAS SOWELL: Dismantling America, Part II. “This issue is too serious for squeamish silence.”
DON SURBER: “It took Republicans 6 years and 2 wars to lose their enthusiasm for President Bush. It took Democrats one year. Change. Hope. Ohmigodwhatdidwedo?”
CORZINE CAMPAIGN AIDE BUSTED ON DRUG CHARGES? But if it’s true, why are New Jersey media scrubbing the story from their sites?
UPDATE: The Star-Ledger has this: Paramus man claiming to work for Corzine arrested on drug charges. Corzine’s campaign: “No one has ever heard of this guy.”
WHY MOMMY loves the state! (Bumped).
SO WILL THE UNITED STATES’ AGREEMENT ON “HATE SPEECH” be used to end-run the First Amendment?
Only if they think they can get away with it. But if so, yeah. Of course.
THE NOBLEST ROMAN OF THEM ALL objects to the Obama comparison.
IN THE MAIL: From Bo Hoefinger, Bad to the Bone: Memoir of a Rebel Doggie Blogger.
NY-23 SIENA POLL: Hoffman 35, Owens 36, Scozzafava 20.
UPDATE: Scozzafava Drops Out.
I credit Bill Quick.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Much more at DumpDede.com.
MEMO: It’s now officially safe to criticize Barack Obama. “Numbers like that mean Obama’s intimidation factor has disappeared.”
REVIEWING THE WHITE HOUSE VISITOR LOGS: “As far as I can tell, THE Andrew Stern was the top outside visitor to the White House with approximately 20 visits, or about three visits per month, including four relatively small meetings with the president and a dozen with other White House staffers. Stern has openly bragged about the SEIU’s $61 million investment in Barack Obama. It certainly bought him a lot of access.”
TUCSON COUNCILWOMAN apologizes for “teabagger” slur.
PLUMMETING FERTILITY. “When people got richer, families got smaller; and as families got smaller, people got richer. Now, something similar is happening in developing countries. Fertility is falling and families are shrinking in places— such as Brazil, Indonesia, and even parts of India—that people think of as teeming with children. As our briefing shows, the fertility rate of half the world is now 2.1 or less—the magic number that is consistent with a stable population and is usually called ‘the replacement rate of fertility’. Sometime between 2020 and 2050 the world’s fertility rate will fall below the global replacement rate.”
ANDREW BREITBART IN THE WASHINGTON POST: ACORN video creates new conservative star.
MORE DEVELOPMENTS in the N.E.A. scandal. “Former actor and present White House associate director of public engagement Kalpen Modi was directly involved in planning the controversial conference call hosted by a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) flack to encourage tax-supported artists to create propaganda for President Obama, according to emails obtained by Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.”
MEGAN MCARDLE: Seriously, stop worrying about hyperinflation.
TIM CAVANAUGH: Why was Hollywood unwilling or unable to make compelling narratives about the horrors of the Soviet system?
I’d just like to see somebody make Total Eclipse.
TOO SMALL TO LEAD. “There are many reasons why Obama, according to Gallup, has suffered the largest decline in approval, at this portion in his term, of any elected president since 1953 — and why more Americans believe in UFOs than approve of the job done by Congress. But one reason is surely the bitter, brittle tone of the new Democratic establishment — highlighted by the promise they have raised and disappointed. How did the tonal candidate become so tone-deaf?”
