From Politico: Barack Obama might have abs that are the envy of men half his age and the ability to command a crowd of 100,000 with his speeches. But when it comes to the decidedly presidential sport of golf, well, to put it diplomatically — he’s only a little smoother on the links than he [...]
When you purposely try to penetrate a “closed military zone” attempting to resupply the enemy of the people with the navy securing that zone, one shouldn’t be surprised when an “incident” occurs: Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, unimpeded by the “closed military zone” imposed by Israel, was among 16 people aboard a medical supply [...]
Patrick Ruffini makes his feelings plain in his tweet on the attempts by Apple to open a store in DC’s Georgetown: “DC Luddites blocking first Apple Store in the Capital.” From the linked story: The wait for Apple’s first retail store in the nation’s capital will reportedly drag on, as local preservationists have been unable [...]

These aren’t my words — they’re Barack Obama’s. But I attach myself to this sentiment. [...]
Back on the road in the morning returning home. Been a great visit, far “busier” than I thought it’d be.
Fascinating that they’ll cover Ahmadinejad’s Christmas rebuttal speech but our major media outlets refuse to run the story of how he acted when he returned home. Iran executed 10 people on Christmas Eve. Read Ed Morrisey’s take on it.
Brian Douglas over at Pajamas Media: The truth is that there are a number of new technologies on the horizon that will help reduce emissions and dramatically lower our dependence on oil. Of course picking a single winner in the propulsion derby would be a lot like picking just the right vehicle for everyone to [...]
Here we go again. Last time this happened it was a lesbian couple in NJ. Now, a New Orleans judge has ruled in favor of a gay (male) couple in requiring that the LA Office of Vital Records list the names of the 2 men who adopted a boy on the boy’s birth certificate as [...]
