PRESIDENT OBAMA wants your tax reform ideas.

SEXISM at Earth Fare.

YEARS AGO, I BLOGGED ABOUT THE CAPITALIST CHICKS: They’re still around.

JAMES PETHOKOUKIS: Yes, Washington Did Help Cause the Financial Crisis.

ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY funneling volunteers to ACORN?

THE HOFSTRA FAKE-RAPE BROUHAHA reminds me of this post from when InstaPundit was young. Also this one.

DRM AND COPYING in Windows 7 Media Center.

A VACCINE FOR AIDS? Faster, please.

IN THE MAIL: From Ted Kennedy, True Compass: A Memoir. I would have avoided any nautical or aquatic themes in the title, personally . . . .

INSTAVISION: I talk DIY survival with Jim Meigs of Popular Mechanics.

BUT DON’T WORRY, THEY’LL DO FINE WITH HEALTHCARE: “The U.S. government failed to send promised college tuition checks to tens of thousands of veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars before they returned to school this fall, even after being warned that it was inadequately staffed for the job.”

WAS HILLARY CLINTON right on Iran?

BUT THOSE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS WILL BE A SNAP: Baucus Claims It’s Too Difficult to Put Health Care Bill Online. They don’t want you to know what’s in this stinker until it’s too late. That’s the real “difficulty” with putting it online.

DAVID BERNSTEIN ON Paul Krugman and “people who believe in government.”

GAY PATRIOT: With Yosi Gone is Buffy Next? “The story would be geting far more attention had a Bush Administration official attempted to enlist non-partisan groups, potential recipients of federal funds, in an effort to support (and promote) its legislative initiatives.” Well, sure, if it were the Bush Administration.

QUESTIONS ABOUT Civil Rights Division Head nominee Thomas Perez.

MICKEY KAUS: Paul Kirk’s thoughtcrime.

SOFTWARE puts captions on the real world.

SMART GIRL POLITICS: Founders Of The Fempire.

HOPE AND CHANGE SAME: No Guantanamo Closure Any Time Soon. “The White House has faltered in part because of the legal, political and diplomatic complexities involved in determining what to do with more than 200 terrorism suspects at the prison. But senior advisers privately acknowledge not devising a concrete plan for where to move the detainees and mishandling Congress.”

UPDATE: Rubbing it in: “Well now we’re back to square one. It seems that, yes, it isn’t so easy to close Guantanamo. Just like the Bush team said.”

TIGERHAWK ON THE MEDIA’S VARIABLE TREATMENT OF PROTESTS AND VIOLENCE:

A few clowns shout at a “tea party” and the media starts worrying about the resurgent Klan, but the left literally attacks the police at the G20 protests and nobody says anything.

There are two possible explanations for this different approach of the media to edgy demonstrators of the left and right.

First, the mainstream media are completely in the tank for the Democrats, and want to help them push the talking point that the tea-partiers are both extremists and typical Republicans (neither of which is generally true).

Second, the left benefits from the soft bigotry of low expectations: People expect leftists to act like thugs at these gatherings as they have for 40 years, so when they do again it is the same-old same-old.

Sorry, I’m going with number one here.

UPDATE: Related thoughts from Jesse Walker.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Not condemning G20 violence at The Huffington Post.

MORE: Moe Lane chimes in.

HEH: Breitbart: I thought Bertha Lewis was grateful that we exposed ACORN’s corruption.

I should note that the Hannah Giles Defense Fund is up and running, too.

UPDATE: More on Breitbart here.

DANIEL DREZNER ON THE G20: An empty, symbolic gesture that I fully support.

Plus, You Say Obama, I Say Bush.

DON SURBER: “The scalps — like the viewers — are piling up around Glenn Beck.”
