‘Brilliant’ move by Kanye West?
In what way was Kanye West’s stunt “brilliant” as described by TV critic Aaron Barnhart in his weekly “What’s working for me?” (9/17, Preview) Brilliant in his publicity seeking? Brilliant in his disrespectfulness? Our world has increasingly become disrespectful, and the media honor such behav...
Prolly cause Big O's own OMB are guessing he's going to borrow around $9 trillion if he goes two terms.
The better question is why liberals don't care about this at all. That's bad policy and bad politics.

Why sudden worry about U.S. debt?
I don’t understand why Republicans think the national debt is such a big deal now, when they didn’t care how big it was when Bush was invading Iraq. Guyen Morrison Kansas City
I read that Billy Carter is going to announce that the G20 Anarchists-Democrats are, in fact, overwhelmingly motivated by racism.

Carter lacks credibility
After reading Yael Abouhalkah’s “Blog Bit” (9/17, Opinon), it is apparent he has joined other media types in using race as a cowardly shield for the failure of Barack Obama’s presidency. Mr. Abouhalkah should be embarrassed by his defense of Jimmy Carter’s comments that many of the arguments aga...
Casady, I'd say the Tea Party protesters on the right are analogous to the G20 Anarchists on the left. Notice how the comments and commentary on Puffington Host are rather glowing. It's mainstream lib, no doubt. I think there was even a Van Jones spotting.
How many arrests were made at all the various Tea Parties? How many in one day at G20.
Interesting, let us agree.

Why not Fox?
President Obama’s decision to go on five talk shows, while refusing to include Fox, tells me all I need to know about his health plan. His not wanting to answer the tough questions tells me it’s bad for my country. Jim Tomlen Leawood
Most liberals I know have pretty interesting lives and careers and seem to have better things to do than sit around and watch TV or listen to AM radio all day.

The guy has also opened two restaurants, a few galleries, and played a large role in the redevelopment in the Crossroads. He's more qualified than the other hacks at city hall. I will grant you that the name "Stretch" does not really inspire confidence. Mr. Stretch would be more fitting for an adult.

I always wondered what THE Race Card was doing in the late 1970s. Guess he was president. I didn't see that one coming.
Whispering and hajkar represent an unusually foolish strain of thought, namely that anyone who dared vote for Obama did so for racial reasons. That sounds reasonable, and we should also consider every GOP vote since Lincoln as foreshadowing of Obama and also a racist vote.

Carter’s racism remark
I think most Americans resent ex-President Jimmy Carter saying that much of the criticism of President Obama is “based on racism.” If he feels that way, maybe there is something wrong with him. A projection of hidden guilt perhaps? America, a predominately white country, elected Obama. If whit...
There is a very wide strain in the leftwing blogs that they should never admit that anything anyone on the left ever does is wrong, no matter what. Admitting fault, in this view, is acting weak.
This is really stupid, in my opinion, mostly because some actions by some people are simply indefensible.
Hence, VietVet and Conason defending underage sex slavery. It's wicked and wrong, sure, but it's also just stupid.

Also, it's clear that democrats love to spend OTHER people's money and then claim the political benefit. It's unseemly. Look at the size of a leading democrat's house and tell me how he affords that on $400k a year. It's impossible.

Nobody forced him to go uninsured. If he couldn't afford insurance, then get ready cause Obama will charge him for insurance anyway. Or fine him if he doesn't have the money.
Maybe as a home owner he could have taken in a lodger or two to help cover the bills he claims he couldn't afford. And return the i-phone.

I was recently released from a hospital visit, and I am a victim of the current health care system. I work as a substitute teacher and a waiter while I work on my master’s degree in education to teach. I work more than 40 hours a week but don’t qualify for any health insurance in either positio...
Forcing people to buy health insurance, and then fining them if they refuse, is the best bet for a constitutional challenge. Basically, if you are alive, you have to buy the coverage; there is no opt out. I'm not sure how that's gonna fly with the Roberts Court.
I also assume that it will be wildly unpopular. I'm telling you, those 18-29 year olds who flocked to O are not going to like the sticker shock. Liberals are superb at spending other people's money, but when folks are going to be forced to cough up the cash themselves, we shall see.

On this specific Fox issue, I disagree with you. I saw the tape (online), and the woman says she committed murder. I don't see a problem with playing the tape. It also seems wildly beside the point anyway. As does the alleged fact that some Acorn offices turned the duo away. So far I've seen five Acorn offices attempt to aid and abet child prostitution. That's enough for me. And it's nice to see some actual investigative journalism.
Beyond that, take your shots at Fox all you want. I think Cable news is stupid. I don't even have cable at home past channel 23, which means I don't get any of it. By choice!
The hard left isn't taking this as well as Jim.

Nah, I only write on specific issues. I do not attack on most issues actually.

To be fair to Jim, I don't recall him ever calling himself unbiased. In fact, he's the polar opposite: he defends everything Obama says or does, no matter what. He's pure bias, but there's no law against that.
I especially love the Acorn rebuttal: let's skip all the child prostitution and harp on some lady lying about killing her husband. Yep, he's really defending the Acornholers.

Obama has said repeatedly that his reform won't raise the deficit one dime. Everyone else believes it will cost hundreds of billions. The "savings" are not there. Even Bob Freaking Herbert admits it.
These two ideas cannot be reconciled. There are other similar tall tales Obama is telling about his reform, but this one is 100 percent BS.

Jimmy, when you can't even convince Bob Herbert that Obama is telling the truth, then you are left with only...yourself.
"The president also said, as he estimated the cost of his proposal at $900 billion over 10 years, that he “will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future.”
I’m sure he means it. But I have not spoken to anyone, either on Capitol Hill or elsewhere, who believes that is doable. Now it may be that the public should not be so worried about the deficits. They had to be jacked up to get the country through this terrible economic crisis. And health care reform — real reform — is essential if long-term deficits are to be brought under control."

Fining Americans for lacking insurance
So, let me see if I have this correct. Sen. Max Baucus is saying no matter how little money we make or how many hours we work, he wants us to cough up $3,800 if we don’t have or can’t afford health insurance (9/9, National/Local). Let me ask the senator one question. Does this happen to includ...
The point of the letter is that lawmakers and insurance commissioners routinely require insurance policies to cover certain items whether or not the person wants them. If consumers could pick and choose, they might be able to save themselves money by choosing only those services they want. Makes a lot of sense to me.

One lesson from the Joe Wilson outburst is that it's probably unwise to make a jackass out of yourself. Having said that, when the entire MSM refuses to question a single thing Obama says or does, it does lead to some frustration. And let's not even get started on the O-bots and Sheepocrats.
A good example is the Baucus bill recently released, set to cost over $800 billion. Yet Obama promised a deficit neutral bill that will not cost one dime.
Only idiots and liars believe the hype.

I'll cut Serena some slack. Anyone who has ever played competitive tennis, or golf, knows what a frustrating and infuriating game it can be. So, I guess a fine and a rebuke are in order, but sports are tough. I see know reason not to let it go.
