REMEMBERING Devin Snyder.

REFLECTIONS ON D-DAY after two-thirds of a century.

ROGER SIMON: The Wives’ Tale: Weiner and Strauss-Kahn.

Maybe Huma felt guilty because, according to Chris Matthews, she may be partly responsible.

AT AMAZON, you can trade in your used electronics.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Collapse Of A Rotten Edifice:

Nemesis is always hot on the trail of hubris, across time and space, and the goddess has been particularly busy in destroying the carefully crafted images of Bono, John Edwards, Timothy Geithner, Al Gore, Eliot Spitzer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Anthony Weiner, and a host of others. What do their tax hypocrisies, sexual indulgences, and aristocratic socialist lifestyles all have in common?

Collectively, they represent a self-appointed or elected global elite that oversees, lectures about — in sanctimonious fashion — the ethical responsibilities of the redistributive state.

While demonstrating through their actions a belief that taxes and rules are for the little people.

HISTORY: Plessy and Ferguson: Descendants of a divisive Supreme Court decision unite.

JAMES POULOS: The Ruling Class & Power-Elite Corruption: Who Should Trust Anthony Weiner Now?

UPDATE: Lots of Weinergate coverage at TweetWatch.

SUSANNAH BRESLIN: The Next Edward R. Murrow Is a Woman.

THE WAR AGAINST PHOTOGRAPHY: Less than Picture Perfect: the Legal Relationship between Photographers’ Rights and Law Enforcement. This article, by my former research assistant Morgan Manning, is very much worth your time if you’re interested in this topic. (Bumped.)

LARRY RIBSTEIN: Betting Against The Market On Lawsuits.

CHANGE: 3 Ways Your Social Security Payments Are Already Being Cut.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U.S. ENERGY SPENDING passes 9% of GDP. Not sure I buy this model.

MY REVIEW OF DAVID BERNSTEIN’S Rehabilitating Lochner: Defending Individual Rights against Progressive Reform, is now available online over at Commentary magazine’s website.

OPEN FUEL STANDARDS versus the Pickens Plan.

THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR JOHN MCCAIN WE’D SEE ENDLESS WAR. And they were right! “A whirlwind tour of three crucial bases shows no signs of the war winding down, or of Americans getting ready to leave following last year’s successful surge. Just the opposite: Construction projects are everywhere, and a new Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits has opened at dusty, searing FOB Walton, a southern outpost surrounded by little more than tire tracks in the desert.”

BREITBART CRUSHES THE OPPOSITION: Weiner Admits Crotch-Tweet, Apologizes to Andrew Breitbart.

UPDATE: Not everyone is apologizing.

ANOTHER UPDATE: BREITBART ROCKS WEINER PRESSER- “I’m Here For Some Vindication.” Mission accomplished.

A lot of people owe him an apology.

Plus: Video: Breitbart Takes Over Weiner’s Press Conference. “Exit question: If Breitbart hadn’t asked for an apology from Weiner, would the press ever have thought to ask for one on his behalf? A rhetorical question, of course.”

THIS WEEK in the future.

AT AMAZON, markdowns in patio, lawn & garden.

SHOCKER: True cost of Fannie/Freddie bailout more than twice Obama administration claim.

YOU REALLY CAN’T GET MUCH WORSE THAN stealing a disabled dog’s wheelchair. Even most members of Congress would refuse to sink this low.

UPDATE: Okay, this might qualify: Video: Syrian soldiers plant weapons on murdered protesters.

FORGET WEINERGATE, HERE’S REAL NEWS: Progress in containing antimatter.

ANDREW KLAVAN returns to the blogosphere.

Women — by which I mean each and every single member of the female gender — you know who you are — need look no further than themselves to explain why Weiner-types behave toward them in this fashion. We men are always hearing complaints from women about how badly we treat them, what pigs we are, how pushy and abrasive… on and on. But what these same women conveniently fail to mention is that this stuff really works on them!

Charles C. Johnson writing about Weiner’s johnson at Big Government reports that the media has long described Weiner as “a lean, mean dating machine,” who has “a bevy of babes surrounding him,” wherever he goes. In other words, this guy has been cleaning up in the romantic department. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t seem to have any trouble getting dates either. Neither did alleged serial rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn of the IMF. Chicks dig these creeps!

So, then, ladies — what do you expect?

Read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Pushback.

MORE D-Day memories.
