There is always good news and bad news. The bad news about this article was that it was bad news. The good news was that it showed Obama yet again, in his real colours -- public mischief thinly wrapped in tacky emoting camouflage. This is the work of a bunch of lunatics way out-of-touch with mainstream opinion. These guys are dilettantes and incompetents, they have no understanding of their limitations and their story is increasingly about over reach and clumsy, tin-eared public manipulations. Every article like this, and they come in all the time, is yet another indication that the Obama super tanker is on a course straight for a great rocky reef. Conservatives can take heart everywhere that the opposition is turning out to be so stupid and self destructive -- why waste your ammunition when your enemy is hell bent on shooting himself in both feet? With enemies like the Obamanistas, conservatives are going to make a lot of friends. Sit back and enjoy the show.

I note that within Matthew Vadum's "Special Report" he makes the following odd statement:

"Yearwood, who uses the honorific 'Reverend' before his name..."

This implies that Rev. Yearwood is not entitled to the honour. However, it is well known that the Rev. Yearwood is an ordained minister of the Church of God in Christ. The COGIC is the largest Pentecostal church in the U.S.

The Spectator should retract the statement and issue a clarification.

CAST INTO DARKNESS
Re: Nicole Russell's Whole Foods, Half a Brain:

I suppose this is yet another example of how, among liberals, unless one believes in the One True Faith one way, one is cast into the outer darkness with the Republicans and conservatives.

I too have visited Whole Foods here in NJ both in Chatham and West Orange...what a bunch of snooty assholes!

Most of the ones shopping look as if they have been starved in a concentration camp! This is healthy???? NOT!

Prices are ridiculously high! Try buying Filet Mignon...you think you we're paying for Kobe beef!

I went there referred by a friend, I won't be going back again.

ALL THAT HOT AIR
Re: Ralph R. Reiland's The Collapse of Obama's Hot Air Balloon:

Depressing read. One might say the world's greatest country in the history of man does not deserve such and I would certainly agree. It obviously has a lot to do with the almost total breakdown of the nation's public (and in some cases private education) education system as well as people's rejection of the type of lukewarm religion we get in the so called mainline protestant and Roman Catholic churches today along with many other culture issues. However, the Republican Party (the "dumb party" according to William Kristol) comes in for a large part of the blame. No serious party would have nominated such "unserious" candidates as Robert Dole and John McCain and expect to prevail but did they actually expect to win? I wonder? To bastardize a quote by a long ago Supreme Court member, "one idiot nominee is bad but forgivable but two within three generations or so is either a tragedy or a conspiracy." Please, let's return to the "smoke filled rooms" to pick the nominees.

Buyer's remorse for some equals "we warned you" for others.

Regarding the central committee's standards, wonder if they'll also have standards based on IQ or scientific literacy or economic literacy? Character? Physical descriptors? I'm thinking if they do, they may have to eliminate some of their very own, from the highest to lowest post.
