"This is probably one of the few times we're going to disagree here." -- Sean Hannity to Karl Rove regarding Christine O'Donnell. I'll say. Even after Fox News called the Delaware GOP senatorial primary for Christine O'Donnell tonight, Karl Rove continued to rip the winner, questioning everything from O'Donnell's "rectitude" to her "character." Concluded the pessimistic Rove: "this is not a race we're going to be able to win." Sean defended O'Donnell staunchly, but was met with a litany of Roveian criticism of Christine, including these comments: View video here.

The woman who’s taste-tested every flavor of ice cream from Maine to Spain is out dictating gastronomical edicts to the National Restaurant Association. With the help of Cass Sunstein, the First Lady of BBQ has decided to “nudge” Americans towards what she thinks kids should be eating because, God knows, parents and restaurateurs haven’t a clue. The same woman who ordered hot fudge sundaes while eating her way across the North and Southeast of America is now “plead[ing] with restaurants to take a little butter or cream out of their dishes, use low fat milk and provide apple slices or...

Orlando, Fla., Sep 14, 2010 / 06:07 am (CNA).- A hacker has attacked the website of the Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC), a group assisting the Christian convert Rifqa Bary. The hacker said he made the attack because of the group’s thinking about “Great Islam.” The loss of the website could have consequences for the 2010 election in Florida, the group claimed. In an e-mail to supporters the FFPC said the hacker gained access to its website last Friday and “disabled the entire back-end controls on the site, erased most of the data, disabled the blog and left an obscene...

Nearly half a million babies, or about one in ten U.S. births, are born to illegal mothers. But the number of these "anchor babies" increases exponentially when the effects of chain migration are considered. The Fourteenth Amendment states "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF, are citizens of the United States..." The drafters of this amendment made it very clear that this was not intended for illegal aliens but ensuring that the children born of freed slaves would be citizens. One of the amendment's proponents, Sen. Jacob Howard, stated that the Citizenship...

PALIN POWER! Republican Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell wins decisive victory over entrenched liberal Republican Mike Castle WEBTODAY (Sept. 14, 2010)-- Republican Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell won the GOP Primary election in the bid to win Joe Biden's old Senate. The decisive victory was aided by Palin Power, DeMint muscle and scores of outspokenly blatant conservatives. Both Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint endorsed O'Donnell and TEA Party activists were loyal foot soldiers with very little campaign funding and not huge TV ad buys. In short, it was payback time for Palin, playing power broker in the state of the...

Poor Belgium. The kingdom had to reckon last week with the truth that its moral princes for most of the 20th century had allowed generations of children to be sexually molested. But amid those revelations came an inconvenient statistical truth. The great majority of the abuse –- 445 out of the 475 cases -– happened in Dutch-speaking Belgium. This in a country where the two language groups, Dutch and French speakers, are waging an all-out battle of attrition over the future political form of this country. (Out of a population of 10.6 million, roughly 60% speak Dutch, the rest mostly...

laquemines Parish officials have asked state wildlife officials to investigate what they said is a massive fish kill at Bayou Chaland on the west side of the Mississippi River late Friday. Photographs the parish distributed of the area shows an enormous amount of dead fish floating atop the water. The fish kill was reported to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and the cause has not yet been determined, the parish said. The fish were found in an area that has been impacted by the oil from the BP oil spill, the parish said. The dead fish include Porgies,...

Hypothetical situation: An attorney is telling an heir that the heir's parents need to set up a trust. The attorney says the will always winds up in probate. Let's say the parent's estate involves property and stocks. Let's say the parents have a straightforward will. The attorney wants to set everything up as a trust. What's the advantage? Does a will always and inevitably wind up in probate with the heirs having to pay corresponding fees? Thanx so much.

Over to you:

The Granite State held out as long as it could; a GOP stronghold in Commie New England for the past 100 years, it went Dem in 2008 and this was taken as a sign that the Dems were going to be ascendant in the Northeast until Logan’s lifestone went black. Well, it’s not to be. NH will turn out their Dems this year; they’re polling lower than Larry Flynt at the Lilith Fair. Worse, still, establishment GOP Senate candidate Kelly Ayotte (who has been all over the radio and TV – such as it is in tiny rural NH) appears...

In Maryland, we have a 47 member Senate elected from single member districts. Of these, 20 incumbents ran unopposed for re-nomination, and 3 seats were open. Of the 24 incumbent senators who were opposed for renomination, 8 are losing at the present time (7 'Rats and Donald Munson, R from the Hagerstown area), and another 'Rat (Jennie Forehand, kook from Rockville, is barely ahead of an ultra-kook former Delegate named Cheryl Kagan).

Interviewing White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett yesterday, The View's liberal co-hosts repelled Elisabeth Hasslebeck's tough questions on President Obama's failed economic agenda by changing the subject and ignoring their conservative colleague's criticism.Refuting the claim that the economy is "certainly moving in the right direction" despite dismal unemployment numbers, Hasselbeck asked Jarrett if Obama's $50 billion infrastructure bill represents an "admittance of failure on the $800 billion stimulus bill that didn't seem to work." To sidestep Hasselbeck's question, Jarrett invoked incredulity, flawed statistics, and historical revisionism:

The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division — in the wake of the New Black Panther Party case — is being investigated by the department's office of inspector general to determine whether voting section employees have been harassed for participating in specific investigations or prosecutions. In an end run around policy barring IG investigations of Justice Department litigators, Inspector General Glenn A. Fine said his office will review what types of cases are being investigated, whether there have been changes in enforcement policies and procedures, and whether the civil rights laws are being enforced in a non-discriminatory manner. Christopher Coates, the...
