And there was wailing and gnashing of teeth on various internet forums…
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas said Monday he will not compete in primaries in any of the states that have not yet voted — essentially confirming Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidential nomination.
This is probably something he didn’t expect and didn’t want, but he’s stuck with it now.
When Obama announced that his position on same-sex marriage had evolved, it outraged some African-American pastors like Pastor and Del. Emmett Burns.
“He has said to his base, African-Americans, ‘I am going against your beliefs and your thoughts,’” Burns said.
The threat of Obama’s Enemies List has been fulfilled:
Frank VanderSloot is the CEO of Melaleuca Inc. The 63-year-old has run that wellness-products company for 26 years out of tiny Idaho Falls, Idaho. Last August, Mr. VanderSloot gave $1 million to Restore Our Future, the Super PAC that supports Mitt Romney.
Three weeks ago, an Obama campaign website, “Keeping GOP Honest,” took the extraordinary step of publicly naming and assailing eight private citizens backing Mr. Romney. Titled “Behind the curtain: a brief history of Romney’s donors,” the post accused the eight of being “wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records.” Mr. VanderSloot was one of the eight, smeared particularly as being “litigious, combative and a bitter foe of the gay rights movement.”
Strong language warning, Jon Lovitz really doesn’t care for Obama’s rhetoric about tax the rich, and he admits that he’s a Democrat and voted for Obama:
6-year-old Michael Cooney, who has cerebral palsy, proves the doctors wrong and walks to greet his father returning from service overseas:
I’d love to add more commentary here, but really, there’s nothing to say except bravo.
I gotta admit it right up front: I’ve always been a fan of Jonah Goldberg’s ability to turn a phrase. I’m a subscriber to his weekly NRO newsletter, and was sad to see that he had really toned down his humor when he wrote Liberal Fascism (though, to be honest, it’s not a topic given to jokes).
However, I’m glad to report that in The Tyranny of Cliches, Jonah’s trademark sense of humor shows through yet again, though sparingly.
