BTW if you never heard about the celebrations among the Palestinians on 9-11 here they are:
People like to pretend this didn’t happen. I say like hell. They don’t deserve a single dollar of US money.
There is a word for people who do this: Enemies.

Earmarks? Last years business. AIG?
Posted: March 16, 2009 by datechguy in opinion/newsTags: economy, honorable left
Dissenting Justice notices something interesting about the administration and AIG:
The price of the earmarks dwarfs the value of AIG’s bonuses, but the Obama administration told critics of earmarks that the budget was “last year’s” business. The banking bailout — or TARP — was actually enacted last year, unlike the omnibus budget. As you witness the federal government condemn AIG, consider the source of the outrage.
He then asks the question:
Is the federal government’s sudden outrage sincere or false?
If you have to ask you know the answer.
Update: Via Glenn VDH is mystified at Barney Frank wanted to bring up AIG with his own corrupt connections. I’m not mystified at all. The media won’t touch him and he knows it so why would he be the least bit worried? As long as the mainstream media doesn’t report his conflicts they never happened.

David Frum on Meet the Press what a shock
Posted: March 15, 2009 by datechguy in opinion/newsTags: irony, reality, Rush
If anyone had any doubt that the gravy train has arrived for David Frum the fact that he is on Meet the Press this week should confirm it.
With Kathleen Parker and David Brooks they will now be the favorite Republicans in the world. He follows the well trodden path of Andrew Sullivan and will make his fortune.
And just to note something from the show, when Frum defended Steele’s statement on abortion, he said that it should be permissible in the Republican party to have that opinion, however when Tavis Smiley then stated that positions would have to change before the party can attract minorities, Frum didn’t defend the pro-life position he offered that Republican positions would change.
In other words to all we have to do to attract new people to the republican party is to stop being Republicans. Great Idea; after all we saw how well abandoning orthodoxy worked for the Catholic Church in the 60’s and 70’s didn’t we?
Hitting Rush will make him money, hitting republicans will make him money and will make him quotable on networks like CNN.
Oh and it is now 11 days since Rush issued his challenge.
