DALLAS JENKINS: Kanye West Doesn’t Care About White People.

28 SENATORS call for ACORN probe.

MICHAEL SILENCE: Memo to the DNC: What were you thinking?

STRENGTHENING TIES between Putin and General Electric.

PRO- AND ANTI-GOVERNMENT MARCHERS face off in Tehran. “Witnesses reported that demonstrators chanting anti-government slogans had taken complete control of Tehran’s expansive Seventh of Tir Square. Video posted to YouTube showed thousands of others holding up green ribbons and rallying peacefully in Tehran, Esfahan and Shiraz. Late in the morning came reports of tear gas being fired into crowds in the capital, but they could not be confirmed.”

It’s a sad commentary on a society where you need eyewitness reports and web video to find out about a huge anti-government march.

GUERRILLA STREET ART: ACORN-Funded Prostitution Zone.

L.A. TIMES: New poll finds Americans not buying Obama’s light-at-the-end-of-the-recession talk.

HOT AIR: We should point out that Media Matters has begun a pattern of screaming ‘Smear!’ when people point out what others have actually said.

We must distinguish between “bourgeois truth,” which is concerned with sterile facts, and “revolutionary truth,” which is concerned with what will promote the revolution. Hot Air is a trafficker in mere bourgeois truth, while Media Matters understands the importance of revolutionary truth.

AT HOFSTRA, bogus rape charges.

GETTING? Democrats to Obama: Um, what exactly are we getting for selling out Poland to Russia?

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT: “It appears to be We must marginalize and eliminate Glenn Beck Day in the media and liberal blogosphere.” If you strike him down, he will only . . . well, you know the rest.

DANA LOESCH UNHAPPY WITH OBAMA’S PATRIOT ACT EXTENSION: “It blew when Bush did it and so it blows now; the difference between then and now is liberal reaction. They all decried Bush’s actions but are silent at all this administration’s malfeasance.”

USA TODAY on the dangers of an EMP attack.

“SMART DIPLOMACY:” “I’ll leave the question of whether President Obama’s decision to abandon a planned missile defense of Poland and the Czech Republic is good or bad policy. As a matter of timing, however, it’s surely bad politics. There’s surely a better day to make such an announcement than the 70th anniversary of Stalin’s invasion of Poland.”

INSTAVISION: I talk with science fiction author S.M. Stirling, author of Island In The Sea of Time, Dies the Fire, and most recently The Sword of the Lady, about military science fiction, the fragility of advanced technology, and the new apocalypticism in science fiction.

IS IT CATCHING? Heckler Screaming “You Lie!” Removed From Obama Health Care Speech (Video).

HEH.

TOM MAGUIRE: “FYI, here is the Newsweek article that inspired the Rush rant that led to the Dreher denunciation, the McArdle admonishment, and the Reynolds revision. We still await their reaction to the standing proposal to eat Irish babies.”

Ann Althouse: “Limbaugh may be deaf, but the lefties who try to read him are humor deaf. (Or they pretend to be for propaganda purposes.)”

DEMOCRAT RUSS FEINGOLD joins the anti-Czar chorus. “… asking Obama to detail the roles and responsibilities of all of the czars in his administration and to explain why he believes the use of czars is consistent with the Senate’s constitutional power to offer advice and consent on top-level executive branch officials.”

BRITAIN’S DUMB LIBEL LAWS used to defend junk science. “The problem the libel laws create is not so much that critical stories can’t be written, but that they won’t be. As the conversations I had this summer show, for many journalists and their employers the potential for a libel case is a powerful deterrent to criticism: the pieces aren’t worth the hassle.”

BYRON YORK: The stunning, total defeat of ACORN.

Really, isn’t Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com the best website launch ever? And I think Andrew deserves great credit for the very skillful way he’s managed the releases to keep the spin doctors off balance, and the press interested. And he pretty much telegraphed what was going on here.

UPDATE: Obama campaign scrubbed its website to hide ACORN lies.

LOSE WEIGHT with sugar!

CRASH TEST VIDEO: 2009 Chevy Malibu vs. 1959 Chevy Bel Air. Conclusion: “the driver of the 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air would have been killed instantly while the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu’s driver would walk away with a minor knee injury.”

LOSING IT: Nancy Pelosi chokes up about political violence, doesn’t mention Ken Gladney. “Pelosi wants to silence opposition since she cannot outargue it, and her implied reference to the murders of Milk and Moscone as somehow comparable to political opposition to the Obama administration is flat-out despicable.” And desperate.

UPDATE: Reader Kevin Greene writes:

It should be noted that Harvey Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were not killed by a constituent angry about unfair laws they passed.

They were assassinated by a fellow Democrat politician- city councilman Dan White, who resigned complaining about his low government salary and angry that Moscone wouldn’t reappoint him to his hack job.

If Pelosi is afraid … she must be afraid of her own fellow politicians in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.

Or maybe hotheads from the SEIU. Which would make sense, given the Gladney experience. . . .
