#rsrh The glorious Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus plane attack infographic.

For those of you who remember my previous post on the glory that is Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus – and who could forget such a post as that? – here is the greatest infographic that you will read today.

Or this week.

Or maybe even this year.

Although to make ‘Best of Decade’ the creator would have had to explain how the landing would work.

The Inevitable ‘Children’s Orchestra Paean to Obama’ post.

Via Hot Air comes this heartwarming exercise in making a pleasing noise unto the One:

Oops! Wrong clip. Actual one after the fold. Continue reading The Inevitable ‘Children’s Orchestra Paean to Obama’ post.

#rsrh TNR should just Embrace the Hate, already.

[UPDATE]: Welcome, Instapundit readers.

So, The New Republic wants to post an article on the oh-so-beleaguered moderates in the Tea Party movement (translation: they’re trying to foment a schism in said movement, because otherwise next January they’re going to abruptly have a shortage of politicians who care about what The New Republic thinks about everything). Via Ann Althouse (H/T: Instapundit) comes the first picture that they associated with the article: a man putting two teabags in his mouth.

…and via me comes the second picture that they associated with said article: a pitchfork being used as a sign.

Yes. They went from ‘sex’ to ‘violence,’ but the message remains the same to The New Republic‘s readers: these people in the Tea Party are the Other.  Embrace the Democrat. Which is their privilege, but they shouldn’t pretend to be some sort of objective observer of the whole thing when what they actually want to do is protect the interests of the Democratic party.

Just saying.

PS: Also, The New Republic should grow the heck up.

Bundling payoffs to pass health care: HOPE! CHANGE!

If this was happening in some other country, I would be laughing hysterically right now.

Taking a new position, Axelrod said the White House only objects to state-specific arrangements, such as an increase in Medicaid funding for Nebraska, ridiculed as the “Cornhusker Kickback.” That’s being cut, but provisions that could affect more than one state are OK, Axelrod said.

That means deals sought by senators from Montana and Connecticut would be fine — even though Gibbs last week singled them out as items Obama wanted removed. There was resistance, however, from two committee chairman, Democratic Sens. Max Baucus of Montana and Chris Dodd of Connecticut, and the White House has apparently backed down.

Since it’s happening in mine, I’ll merely note that there is no reason that anybody should be surprised by this (Hot Air certainly isn’t). The President does not have a name for keeping his promises. Also: if you gave money to the Democrats in the last decade because you wanted less corruption and favor-trading in Congress… well, let’s just say that all sales are final. And you aren’t getting any of that money back any time soon.

#rsrh BARBDOZ*.

I’ve been trying really really hard not to get too involved in the CA GOP Senate primary: it’s on the other side of the country, I know and like folks in all three primary campaigns, and any one of the three choices would be far superior to Senator Barbara Boxer. So I don’t want to contribute to any random political drama.

That being said: if you were wondering what the Fiorina campaign was going to come up with after DemönSheep, wonder no more.

As God is my witness, I don’t know if this helps or hurts the Fiorina campaign. It’s just sort of… there.

Health care: the DOOM that came for Blue Dogs. [UPDATED].

[UPDATE]: Welcome, Instapundit readers. Check out the new polling site Unlikely Voter, btw: not my site, but run by the guy who runs my site.

[UPDATE] I wasn’t joking about the ‘re-election money’ thing.

Here is something interesting: this paragraph (from an article begging Democratic legislators in Republican districts to sign off on health care rationing, for the greater glory of liberal urban Democrats)…

Hardened? Consistent? Solid? You must be joking. Look at the Rasmussen survey cited by Caddell and Schoen. Nine months ago, it showed likely voters supporting the Democratic health-care plan by 5-point margin. Then they opposed it by an 11-point margin. Then they favored it again by 5 points. Then they opposed it by 15 points. Then they were split. Then they opposed it by 19 points. Now the margin is back down to 11. Who knows where will it be next week?

…and this graph*:

…are coming from the same data source.

#rsrh ‘Gitmo’s Indefensible Lawyers.’

Oh, my aching head (Via Glenn Reynolds).

Look, I understand that lawyers have to sometimes defend scumbags. And sometimes lawyers have to defend women-beating, Jew-hating, homosexual-murdering, psychopathic fantasy ideologist scumbags. But decent lawyers – as in, ‘not evil’ – do not brag about succeeding in that defense.

And the government should not hire from the pool of lawyers who brag.

Please. Fight us on this. Please.

Moe Lane

*I do not concede that we should be necessarily putting these particular women-beating, Jew-hating, homosexual-murdering, psychopathic fantasy ideologist scumbags through our civilian court system, mind you.
