REPUBLICANS ON HEALTH CARE: It’s the Senate Doctors’ Show.

MARY ROBINSON NOT FULLY VETTED. “Who recommended her? Chas Freeman?” The country’s in the very best of hands.

VIDEO: This is what “mob rule” really looks like.

Remember when Obama said to “get in their faces”? Goose and gander.

NBC: This tacky monstrosity can’t belong to Obama, can it? They’re talking about his birthday cake, not his health care plan . . .. But both are quite revealing.

DANA LOESCH: Russ Carnahan Rattled at Cash for Clunkers Presser. Pics and video at the link.

MICHAEL YON POSTS more photos and reports from Afghanistan, and emails: “After this will go with U.S. Marines, but there are so few helicopters that there is no telling when that will be. Kind of stuck out here. That’s fine because it’s great to cover the British, too.” Remember, he’s supported by reader donations, so if you like his work, please hit the tipjar.

CONCERNS ABOUT GREED AND CARBON FOOTPRINTS ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: House Orders Three Jets.

“Last year, lawmakers excoriated the CEOs of the Big Three automakers for traveling to Washington, D.C., by private jet to attend a hearing about a possible bailout of their companies,” Roll Call reports.

“But apparently Congress is not philosophically averse to private air travel: At the end of July, the House approved nearly $200 million for the Air Force to buy three elite Gulfstream jets for ferrying top government officials and Members of Congress.”

The Air Force had asked for one jet as part of an upgrade program, but the House Appropriations Committee added two more at its own discretion.

Seems like someone could make this a campaign issue if they cared to . . . .

“CASH FOR CLUNKERS” PROTESTERS forced out at Carnahan speech. “The White House said today that they’re not worried about the protesters. …They’re so not worried that they’re locking them outside.”

Plus this: “Carnahan snuck out the back door.”

JAKE TAPPER: Does Obama’s Bowling Score Improve with Age? Hey, he and I are the same age, so that means I’m young and dynamic. . . .

THE END OF VINTAGE KIDS’ BOOKS? Just as well. Many of those older books might put unacceptable notions in the tykes’ heads. Better that they should get wholesome modern ideas.

BEACH READING: I’m enjoying Charles Stross’s Wireless.

WHAT’S THE MATTER with Ikea?

INFATUATION.
