All the cool kids have already run this video, but since I’m the shy nerdy girl in the corner wearing clothes from J.C. Penny that don’t seem to fit me as well as they should and scribbling poems in a notebook, I’m running it now:

Via—this time around—AllahP at Hot Air, who points out that it’s [...]

As so many have pointed out, provoking fear of death in another human being is torture.
I’m sorry. I do not believe that Obama didn’t know about the “Photo Op” flyby over the Statue of Liberty; the idea is just silly. No one else would have signed off on an operation like that without making sure [...]

I mean, in the “Tea Party” tax protest movement.
I have two recommendations:
1) Let’s all get together and have a really hearty breakfast, with bacon and eggs or maybe eggs Benedict. And mimosas all around (plus orange juice for the non-drinkers). And a good medium-bodied coffee, with realio-trulio half and half.
Then,
2) let’s march on [...]

He was covering it for PJTV, but was asked to speak for a few minutes, because—well, because he’s Zo, and he knows how to talk. Why should we pretend he isn’t a rising star, just because he’s playing citizen journalist right now?
UPDATE: Of course they asked him to speak: here you had the overworked black [...]

Here.
Sometimes Pam’s House Blend is so depressing: how a black lesbian could buy into the Democrats’ agenda is beyond me. I mean, I understand that it’s not unheard-of, demographically. It’s just that it makes no sense whatsoever. The leftist wing of the Democratic Party is not good for black people, and it is not good [...]

Reynolds responds to Steyn, who is making the Boston Globe his bitch*:
MARK STEYN on the Tea Party movement. “Doing the job the Boston Globe won’t do, Glenn Reynolds, the Internet’s Instapundit, has been posting many photographs of tea parties. For a movement of mean, angry old white men, there seem to be a lot of [...]

That’s some vintage Dave, there.
I’m not positive where I saw this one first—everyone seemed to beat me over to Burge’s digs this time around—but I’m going to say it was Cynthia. I’m almost certain it was she.

before Jon Stewart started playing footsie with Michael Moore-style deceptive video-editing. Here is is, lying about Cody Willard:

“Dropping the F-Bomb [Fascism] on Obama.” Uh-huh. No: he was dropping the F-Bomb on an unholy alliance between Democrats, Republicans, and Big Business.
Jon Stewart has a real talent that he persists in abusing. He could be a force [...]

Also: Tea Parties vs. Code Pink, and a nice roundup of MSM bias coupled with an obituary of traditional journalism in America by Ed Driscoll at PJM.

of the actions in Santa Monica, and in the S.F. Valley. (I almost went to the latter, but was unable to get out yesterday; at least I was at the Pasadena protest this past Saturday!)
UPDATE: Also, Gerard has great pix from Seattle.

Cynthia Yockey has a list of list of suggestions for how to prepare for any impromptu interviews, and how to conduct them.
My thoughts are simpler: (1) look pleasant, but don’t dress up unless you are engaging in some kind of costuming/street theater. (2) Don’t pretend to know more about the Boston Tea Party—or the American [...]

Via Instapundit. (Also, scroll his main page for oodles of Tea Party news.)

Plus, I’ve gotten some quarrels from a few readers who point out that the economic crisis predated Obama’s presidency, which is certainly true. However, people are upset about the approach to “solving” the problem: apparently, this [...]

Theme / opening credits
Mary Hamsher Moore traipses whimsically through the streets of Washington with her macrame hat and bullhorn
Who can turn your stomach with her bile?
Who can hit a bullhorn switch, and suddenly bitch with a chipmunk smile?
Well it’s you girl and you should know it,
With each fire and every [...]

Via Insty, my blog-nephew takes on the meme of “Astroturf” vs. “grass-roots activism,” and points out that “Astroturfing” has generally meant paid activism, rather than support/organization being provided to average citizens by funded organizations.

Or—if they aren’t, they should be! See Malkin’s takedown.
Oh, yeah: anyone who thinks taxes are a bit too high, or the national debt turning unsustainable, is really concerned about Brown People. Even if they are brown themselves. Because everyone knows that People of Color are happy on the plantation paying taxes.
In point of fact, [...]

So that proves that FNC is behind the Tea Party protests! Because Fox is one of the organizations that has disseminated information about where they are, and how to make them effective if you decide to hold one in your own town! Unreal.
The interesting thing is that when I saw “FNC” in her headline I [...]

It looks like the one in Los Angeles for this upcoming Saturday has been cancelled, though there is one in Santa Barbara on the 4th, and three in SoCal on the 11th.
So this is what we’ve got, not counting the cross-country tsunami on Tax Day:
