    • Mark Steyn: Can Obama plug leak in his support?
      I believe it was Jean Giraudoux who first said, "Only the mediocre are always at their best."

      Barack Obama was supposed to be the best, the very best, and yet he is always, reliably, consistently mediocre. His speech on oil was no better or worse than his speech on race. Yet the Obammyboppers who once squealed with delight are weary of last year's boy band. At the end of the big Oval Office address, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and the rest of the MSNBC gang jeered the president. For a bewildered Obama, it must have felt like his Ceausescu balcony moment. Had they caught up with him in the White House parking lot, they'd have put him up against the wall and clubbed him to a pulp with Matthews' no-longer-tingling leg.

    • CA Nanny State: Bill would ban free bags at California grocery stores
      Along with grocery carts and check stands, California's supermarket shopping experience is marked by a simple question: Paper or plastic?

      Soon the answer may be neither.

      California would become the first state to ban grocery, liquor and drug stores from providing free paper or plastic bags under legislation pushed by Democrats and supported by Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

      The goal is to fight litter and lighten the load on landfills by getting shoppers to use reusable fabric bags. Those who don't could buy paper bags for a nickel or more.

      "I think the proliferation of plastic bags is unnecessary, and it's a pollutant, an urban tumbleweed," Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica, said of the lightweight bags that can litter yards and clog waterways.

    • CA-Gov: Nurses mount 'pushy' campaign against Meg Whitman
      One of the state's most powerful labor unions, saying it "won't be pushed around" by Meg Whitman, unveiled a scathing ad campaign Friday seizing on an altercation between the former eBay CEO and one of her employees.

      The California Nurses Association said the incident shows how disconnected the GOP gubernatorial nominee is from working people.

      This Saul Alinksy union crap will receive big play in the left-wing lamestream media but Whitman will be able to push back with ads.

      Schwarzenegger never fought back against these tactics and paid the price. Whitman will.

    • Video: A Postscript on the Sarah Palin-Stanislaus Controversy
      The local station which live streamed the Palin speech has issued a complete statement regarding their review of the unprofessional and insulting comments made by technicians and others in the media room after the event. These remarks were picked up by Fox40’s live mic and live-streamed to the world. As you can tell by my original post, I’ve come to my conclusion about the source of those remarks. Fox40 has reviewed the same material and comes to a different conclusion. After the jump I’ve linked and posted their full statement.

      Bottom line–Fox40 insists it wasn’t them. None of the reporters, technicians or anyone else in that media room were associated with Fox40. There is no apology and they do not identify those making the comments.

      Yeah pretty lame but as typical as the local NBC affiliate headlining her speech as a controversy. It is how the MSM rolls.
