HYPOCRISY ALERT: Anti-Bullying Speaker Curses Christian Teens.

BLOG COMMENT OF THE DAY: “It’s not a coincidence. Politicians, pundits, and professional, revolving-door bureacrats are 100% revenge of the f*cking nerds. Every loser in high school or college that just knew he was smarter and better than everyone else is in DC practicing politics, writing about politics, and arbitrarily f*cking up the lives of everyone else with regulations just because they can.”

Of course, I also kind of liked this one: “After the Singularity, Glenn will stop quoting the poem.”

I DUNNO, SHE’S A LOT WHITER THAN GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: Elizabeth Warren, Affirmative Action Baby?

Plus, I, for one, salute Harvard Law School for having the courage to hire Professor Dances-With-Occupiers. In her defense, most people with Cherokee ancestry would be hard pressed to produce paperwork to prove it. To be a member of the tribe officially, you’ve got to trace yourself to an ancestor on the Dawes Roll, but plenty of bona fide Cherokees were never on that registry, and many — quite possibly most — people with Cherokee ancestry don’t belong to the tribe. And plenty look thoroughly white, though perhaps not as white as Elizabeth Warren.

WHAT’S THE BEST POSITION FOR CANDIDATES TO TAKE ON ARIZONA’S IMMIGRATION LAW?

The Obama administration fought this law, in what culminated in an embarrassing performance at the Supreme Court this week. And Chuck Schumer’s saying that if the Supreme Court upholds Arizona’s law, the Democrats in Congress will rise up and kill it. But polls show that a big majority of Americans — and about half of Hispanic-Americans — support what Arizona has done — even after extensive efforts by the Democrats+MSM to make us all feel as though only terrible, racist people think Arizona’s okay.

The whole racist thing doesn’t seem to be working for them like it used to. Plus, what Barack Obama said in 2008.

INSTAPUNDIT READER PLEASED WITH INSTAPUNDIT READER’S BOOK: Reader Mary Daly writes about The Baby Moose and His Undersea Friends:

Based on your recommendation, I ordered this book for my great nephews but had it delivered to me first. I’m delighted to say that the story is charming and instructive, and the illustrations are unusually good – very colorful, funny and imaginative. I highly recommend it to doting grandparents, aunts and uncles: your little ones will love it.

Glad to be of service.

MATT WELCH: Seriously, This Is What’s Passing for Liberal Political Discourse These Days. Well, what else are they going to talk about, really? Love the photo.

Plus, from the comments, the best take on Obama yet: “If only he had the enlightened views of Dick Cheney on gay marriage and Pat Robertson on marijuana.”

And dude, we’re not “outraged,” we’re contemptuous. Do try to keep up.

MAN BITES DOG: Joe Biden makes dumb, insulting joke about Secret Service.

THUG-IN-CHIEF: Barack Obama attempts to intimidate contributors to Mitt Romney’s campaign. “Richard Nixon’s ‘enemies list’ appalled the country for the simple reason that presidents hold a unique trust. Unlike senators or congressmen, presidents alone represent all Americans. Their powers—to jail, to fine, to bankrupt—are also so vast as to require restraint. Any president who targets a private citizen for his politics is de facto engaged in government intimidation and threats. This is why presidents since Nixon have carefully avoided the practice. Save Mr. Obama, who acknowledges no rules.”

As I’ve said before, presidents act “presidential” not because they’re stuffy sticks in the mud, but because it’s smart. Barack Obama isn’t smart, and this thuggish approach will not redound to his benefit. But it’s not like he wasn’t warned.

I don’t get this first sentence, though: “It’s perfectly understandable why commercial shipping vessels are prohibited from carrying arms in international waters.” Really? Why is that?
