A QUESTION: Has Anybody Seen A Lefty Pundit Praise Obama For His Performance Yesterday? “I really wanted to go off on what I thought was Obama’s piss poor performance yesterday and hook it to some idiotic liberal praise but not even Andrew Sullivan has taken the bait. The NY Times tried halfheartedly in an editorial but it wasn’t what we’ve come to expect.”

Hey, it got a good review from John Ziegler. But, technically, he’s not a lefty pundit. And lefty pundits probably wouldn’t consider “Obama sounded like Cheney” to be praise . . . .

BRR: On Sunday, forecasters are anticipating the ninth consecutive day when high temperatures won’t get above the freezing mark — making the current cold spell the longest since a 10-day stretch in February 1895. If it weren’t for the fireplace, it’d be chilly in my study . . . .

At least there are no frozen iguanas falling from the trees.

UPDATE: Nobody tell Prince Charles.

MORE: You kids are wimps! Why, back in my day it was cold enough to freeze a witch’s toe. . . . Actually, that’s true. I remember the Tennessee river freezing over when I was in high school; that hasn’t happened since.

HOT AIR: A concerted attempt to discredit and marginalize the Tea Party movement has developed with equally amazing speed.

SCOTT BROWN SAYS HE’LL BE THE 41ST VOTE AGAINST OBAMACARE. But Massachusetts pols may have other plans.

UPDATE: Boston Herald: Scott Brown swearing-in would be stalled so health-care reform could pass. That’s kinda cheesy . . . but on the other hand, it suggests they think Brown has a serious chance. Guess they’re not entirely confident that the push-polling will do the job.

WHITEHOUSE, WHITEHOUSE, WHITEHOUSE!

CHALLENGER V. ABRAMS: WHO WINS?

WELL, THEY DO USE “MILLIMETER WAVES:” Carville: Airport scanners can ‘measure my penis’.

DRUGS: Nuvigil, descendant of Provigil, to “treat” jet lag.

CAL THOMAS SIGNS ON WITH THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER. Well, who could resist the chance to join such an elite linup? . . . .

MASSACHUSETTS; “This has become a losable race for Democrats.” Losable, yes. Lost, not hardly. They retain huge advantages.

TOBY HARNDEN: So Google is better than US intelligence?

THOUGHTS ON WHY JACK CAFFERTY IS MAD AT OBAMA NOW: “It’s not just that Obama lied, it’s the obviousness of the mendacity. There’s no wriggle room on this one; anyone who’s been paying any attention for the last two years knows it’s a bald-faced lie. And in addition, there’s been no explanation for it, and no excuses. The administration is simply ignoring the lie as though it doesn’t matter, and insulting the press in the bargain. This makes pundits who liked and supported Obama look foolish, and they don’t like to look that way. Thus, the anger—it’s personal now.”

RACIST: Jon Stewart Bashes Obama’s Broken Campaign Promises.

BYRON YORK: NPR: No apology for ‘Tea Bag’ attack cartoon. Best bit: “Shepard says neither she nor the NPR staffers who approved the cartoon knew that there was anything derogatory about the phrase ‘tea bagger.'” And here I thought it was the bitter-clinger types who were supposed to be sexually illiterate . . . .

Meanwhile, if NPR wants cartoons representing a diversity of views at its site — as they say they do — why not add Chris Muir to the mix? I’m sure he’d make ’em a deal.

POLL: 45% WOULD REPLACE CONGRESS WITH NAMES DRAWN RANDOMLY FROM PHONE BOOK. Only 45%?

UPDATE: From the comments: “Preferably the Yellow Pages!!! At least they can run a business.” Heh.
