Going to the G20 summit in Pittsburgh.
Well, I guess that the antiwar movement needs to do something with its time, now that they’ve lost the war to lose the war in Iraq.

They say that nobody loves a traitor. The Pat Toomey campaign wants you to remember that usually one person does, at least: the traitor himself.
Two things:

This article is only superficially funny when directed towards our current President’s foreign policy reputation; or, more accurately, our current President’s lack of same. In its pop-cultural way, it’s actually devastating.
Let’s move forward a bit from Machiavelli for our strategic guidance. Let’s refer instead to the great classic of American strategic pedagogy, Happy Days.

In one episode, Fonzie tried to teach Richie his style. Richie practiced the grimaces, the flexes, the stares, but alas the bad guys were not impressed and certainly not deterred.
In the midst of a desperate scrape, Richie turned to Fonzie imploringly and asked: Why are my deadly looks, threatening flexes and strategic grimaces having no effect?
Oh yeah, Fonzie replied, I forgot to tell you. For all that to work, once in your life you have to have hit someone. You cannot imagine a deeper strategic insight.

They’re torturing me, Honduras’ Zelaya claims
Honduras’ fallen leader told The Miami Herald he is being subjected to mind-altering gas and radiation — and that `Israeli mercenaries’ are planning to assassinate him.
TEGUCIGALPA — It’s been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He’s sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and “Israeli mercenaries” are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.
On the other hand, when it comes to this sort of thing eventually somebody decides to blame it all on the Jews. Apparently, in this case Zeleya’s got “Israeli mercenaries” going after him with sonic weapons and radiation! Spying on him with rays! Can somebody explain why we’re backing this lunatic, again? Oh, right: because the administration got caught unprepared by events, went off half-cocked, and guessed wrong: and God forbid that this administration ever admit that it’s capable of error.
I swear, it’s like the President is deliberately trying to be a caricature of all the Left-wing fantasies about President Bush.

(via @BrianFaughnan) I don’t actually have an opinion on whether Porter should, or whether he can jump back in at this point: but the fact that he’s seriously considering trying for the Republican nomination again says volumes about how weak Senator Reid is right now. You’d think that a former boxer and (current) Senate Majority Leader wouldn’t have had such a glass jaw…

(Via RCP) I’m still trying to reconcile a 46/38 result among registered voters (which represents a flip since January 2009) with Siena’s statement that half of NY voters can want Giuliani to run for neither Governor nor Senator, unless a large proportion of those voters don’t want him to run because he could actually win. Absent a look at the actual questions, I’m not sure whether I can reconcile. Giuliani in the Senate would be… interesting. And an improvement over the current incumbent, of course. Lots of stuff in that poll, by the way: the general thing that you’ll take away from it is that Andrew Cuomo has an almost-lock on the gubernatorial nomination and election, and that New Yorkers loathe their current state government.
It’s going to be an interesting primary there next year.

Well, it’s not my theme music.

Background here (via Hot Air). They’re trying for the ‘audio recording without permission’ angle – however: I am not a lawyer, but I have been told by at least three that Section 23 can be used to justify discovery.
As a direct and proximate result of the actions of defendants, ACORN has suffered injury to its reputation.
The word “DOOM” was not used in relation to ACORN’s fate, but only because nobody thought to do so.
I’m putting up this theblogprof link to this video of cops interrupting their drug raid to go – well, go look for yourself – because I’m just that nice of a guy. Suffice it to say that the pun in the title will become obvious once you do go look.
Also, the reason for this link.
