Too bad it took The Washington Post so long to figure that out.
I’m also amazed that anyone, anywhere (even Dave Weigel) would think something they wrote on an email mailing list wouldn’t come back to haunt them. (Especially since emails from Journolist had already made it out into the wild.) Attention people: You have to assume than anything you email, post, or say in a public place is being recorded at all times. That’s simply the world we live in. Deal with it.
Technically speaking, he relieved Gen. Stanley McChyrstal of command and replaced him with Gen. David Petraeus. Petraeus (or, as Moveon.org once referred to him as, “General Betray Us”) taking over is probably good news, especially given Michael Yon’s criticisms of McChyrstal. Perhaps Petraeus can beef up our counter-insurgency campaign in Afghanistan, and possibly convince Obama that setting a deadline for withdrawal is a bad idea.
I’m sure howls of outrage about the firing from those on the left who condemned Bush for not “listening to the generals” will happen any minute now. (Checks watch) Yep, any minute now…
This is good news, since actual oil drilling experts seem to agree that relief wells need to be brought to bear on the spill to prevent a leak blowout, causing an even-more-massive spill.

Now go call your father…
So the reports go that they’ve cut a deal on the anti-free speech DISCLOSE Act. Pelosi and company are besides themselves with joy.
Members might want to contact the NRA at all levels to know this is a very bad idea. You can also call them at 1-800-672-3888.
Today the University of California at Irvine announced they were apologizing to 11 members of an Islamic student group arrested for interrupting the Israeli Ambassador’s speech for “violating their civil rights.” Or at least that’s the sort of headline you’ve come to expect out of both the People’s Republic of California and the University of Political Correctness.
The funny thing is, it didn’t happen this time.
Instead, UC Irvine suspended the Muslim Student Union for a year. Wow, spine! At a California university! Who’d have thunk it?
You’re a congressman walking down the street when a student asks if you support the Obama agenda. Do you: C.) Bat his camera aside, grab his wrist, demand to know his name, and refuse to let go?
I though the student showed great restraint in not kicking him in the nuts, which he would have been legally justified in doing when Congressman Etheridge refused to let go.
