A tale of two pundits: Sowell v. Huffington
Top 10 dud predictions
"GLOBAL warming preachers have had a shocking 2008. So many of their predictions this year went splat.
"Here's their problem: they've been scaring us for so long that it's now possible to check if things are turning out as hot as they warned."
Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor
"There is an ‘image’ that Obama is against war, but no he’s not. He says he’s against the invasion of Iraq, though we’ll see what he does about that in office. How can a man calling for more troops, including European troops, to be sent to Afghanistan be against war? He has also said he is prepared to bomb Pakistan and use military force to stop Iran building nuclear weapons and he has appointed Hillary ‘Let’s bomb ‘em’ Clinton (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations) as Secretary of State and re-appointed Bush’s ‘Let’s bomb ‘em’ Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates (Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations). So that’s the ‘change we can believe in’, then.
"Obama isn’t against war at all and, if his controllers have their way, he will engage the US in even more foreign conflicts with the troops sent to their deaths, and the deaths of their targets, on a wave of oratory from the dark suit with the black face who would never go where he’s sending them."

Blagojevich: Getting Things Done for People by Dan Proft
That was the slogan of Rod Blagojevich's 2006 re-election campaign. Who would have thought a phrase so utterly devoid of meaning would foretell such truth?
Governor Blagojevich was certainly getting things done for people--for himself, for his wife, for his campaign contributors, and for just about anyone who was willing to pay sticker price for government spoils.
Given the starkness of the schemes as recorded in Blagojevich's own words, flabbergasted Illinoisans are wondering how a Governor could be so brazen. After all, in what undiscovered dimension lives a man who conceptualizes a run for the Presidency in 2016 while strategizing about an indictment he seemed to fully anticipate?
The French philosopher Baudelaire once wrote, "True genius is the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts simultaneously without losing your mind." Blagojevich's contradictions proved instead that the simultaneous exercise of stupidity and arrogance loses one his freedo m.
And so over the next several months Blagojevich's fate will wind to its inexorable end, beginning next week when the Illinois General Assembly moves to impeach him.
As this occurs, I have a humble request of my fellow Illinoisans.
Don't get fooled again. Don't get suckered by the contrived and self-righteous hand-wringing by the very people who twice shepherded Blagojevich to the Governor's mansion.
Those Chicago Democrats that are lining up to spit on his political grave because they covet his office are the same Chicago Democrats who brought you the last six sordid years of Blagojevich rule.
Those Chicago Democrats didn't walk away from Blagojevich (for those that ever did) over policy concerns or ethical pangs of conscience; they walked away because Blagojevich didn't do what they wanted him to do when they wanted him to do it.
He committed the mortal sin of cooking up his own illicit schemes instead of executing theirs--and he turned out to not be nearly as adept at it as they are.
Who are the "they"? They are the eight members of the "Chicago 9" (the 9 Chicago Democrats who control $70B worth of government and 125,000 public sector jobs in Illinois) not arrested yesterday. Their names are Rich Daley, Mike Madigan, Lisa Madigan, Jesse White, Dan Hynes, Alexi Giannoulias, Todd Stroger, and Emil Jones.
Remember those names. Write them down. And remember the outrage you feel now when the next opportunity you have to vote against them presents itself.

Top 10 Clues that Obama has betrayed his supporters
"For many who supported Obama, his level of betrayal has quickly growing - and he's not even in office yet!"
Barack Obama: the face of black genocide
Obama, Gov. Blagojevitch, Chicago politics, corruption, and change
"'And Obama's system is set up to facilitate this fraud. This is truly scandalous."
and
"It now appears, however, that will know a lot more about the new president the voters have elected, from indictments, court records and criminal defense attorneys trying to defend Obama's friends and financial adviseers than we have from the media."
TV station reported Obama met with Blagojevich
Zogby: Obama Success Depends on Honesty
What did Judas sing in Jesus Christ Superstar? "And they'll hurt you if they think you lied."
Legitimizing the black fringe
A black journalist writes:
"Inasmuch as America's awareness is shaped in a great measure by the media – evidenced by Obama's very election – the likelihood that black activists who promote the politics of division, victimization and entitlement will gain more influence within the black community and more legitimacy among Americans at large is a dark prospect indeed."
'Government rescue' an oxymoron
"'Well, years into the Great Depression, FDR's secretary of the treasury, Henry Morgenthau, declared (quoted here verbatim): "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. … We have never made good on our promises. … I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started … and an enormous debt to boot!"'
"'So this has been tried, and many economists believe that the spending, along with other dumb government actions, prolonged and possibly deepened the problems and certainly did not solve them.'"
