Good morning, Alas!

I am so sorry that Lindsey Graham was reelected to the Senate. He’s like a boil that won’t heal.

[Bernard]

Good morning. I look forward to having somebody on these talk shows talk about the (what appears to be) complete lack of a problem with refugees pouring out of Iran. In almost every major problem area I can remember, there are always thousands of people fleeing the scene. But, that must not be happening in Iran. Maybe the trouble there is not as widespread as the reports would make it appear.

[Carley]

Can hardly wait to hear the good general discuss the hundreds of deaths in Iraq in the past few weeks.

Or will he be praising O’s forward thinking on the situation on the ground.

[TomGuy]

The morning line-up could be worse.....

It could be:

Michael Jackson's attorney
Michael Jackson's father
Michael Jackson's brother
Michael Jackson's 2nd cousin
Michael Jackson's tailor's son
Michael Jackson's maid's daughter's boyfriend

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on FOX News Sunday that Zero won’t sign a national health insurance bill that isn’t paid for but she didn’t want to touch the issue of taxing health insurance benefits for the employee. Brett Baer pressed her on an exemption for union employees and she, as a politician, was able to answer without answering.

[NautiNurse]

Listening to Sebelius discuss Obama’s health care reform, I hear someone reciting a mantra, without a grasp of the concepts or consequences. Just like Obama.

[gusopol3]

Perusing the guest list, the Iran story gets the spike, including Bret Baer’s Fox News Sunday. The echo chamber must have perceived Obama’s piddling performance isn’t up to the colossus myth; let the money quote be , “there’s really no difference between Ahmadinajad and Musavi.”

Morning AB, All...

....thanks again AB for doing this thread regularly and dependably.

I come here this morning with heavy heart and tortured soul.

First, the heart weighs heavy with the knowledge that our country's vaunted House of the People actually passed a law, however thinly, that would effectively ruin this economy. All to fool the people into yet another tax to support ongoing generations of those who would suckle on the government teat and will vote for those who provide the resources.

My soul is tortured because my own Rep in America's House, Mike Castle, has fooled me for the LAST TIME YES HE HAS.

Here in Delaware we have only ONE Rep in the House, Delaware being one of a few states that has two senators and one Rep.

Mike Castle, I hang my head in shame, is a Republican.

I know Mike Castle. He's not an intimate friend, no, and I don't think he would remember me from Adam. But I once had a long discussion with him. He tried to explain why he had to vote in ways I don't like because of Delaware being such a purple state. I got to express my exasperation with RINOS. Below my pic with Mike Castle.

Reluctantly I supported him but his Republican vote for this job-killer leaves me despising the man.

Couple of things. Republicans in Delaware have been holding their noses for ages, waiting for this man to retire. He was once a Governor and Castle is a Delaware name as much as Biden. It's the DEMOCRATS who love Mike Castle as my addled brain now realizes.

This time he would serve and would retire, or so we were told by the GOP leadership. So we waited; we didn't want to rock the boat. If nothing else, Castle added another pub vote to the House roster.

So there's no godawful reason for Castle to have voted FOR that Cap and Trade as if he was retiring, as promised and as us fools supported him these past months, huffing and puffing and resenting, then he didn't have to worry about re-election,no? Mike Castle is not a stupid man. He knows that bill is not a good thing for the citizens of Delaware.

Rumor has it here in the swamps of Delaware that it is none other than Mike Castle who can break the stranglehold that the Bidens have on this state.

Delawarians, God love 'em, are not natives in a lot of cases. Delaware is the state people move to when they turn 50. Many of these transplants know that name Biden, and in this case Castle, and that's pretty much it.

So Castle is planning to run for SENATOR!

right now there's a placeholder taking that position awaiting the return of Beau Biden, who is currently in Iraq. Beau, with patriotic military service and a VP father who's been Delaware's senator since the 70's is a shoo-in for the position.

I vow, here and now and declare it publicly, to fight Mike Castle for Senator of Delaware. I will support his opponent even if a damn Dem.

For I'd rather be represented by an honest Marxist than this lying, conniving wolf in sheep's clothing.

I'm done for now but hang in there. I'm on a roll this morning.

The look in Brit Hume’s face as Juan Williams was spewing his nonsense on Obama’s great Cap & Trade bill was priceless! I wish he would have said what he was thinking.

[charmedone]

I love FNS but I cannot hear 90% of what Brit Hume says. He speaks so damned softly that the words disappear. Couldn’t they up his audio level or tell him to speak up?

[paulycy]

That Iran is not the top topic this week is proof of an either dead or completely state-run media.

Today may be the worst Sunday news show day ever for the clear abdication of the free press’s responsibility towards the people.

[Yosemitest]

Watch the bidding soar for Obama's Kenyan Birth Certificate.
