ABC News: Run away! Run Away! Voters Flee Democratic Party in Key Swing States. "President Obama's uphill battle to re-election is getting steeper. — A report released today by the centrist think-tank Third Way showed that more than 825,000 voters in eight key battleground states have fled the Democratic Party since Obama won election in 2008."
If this were Sarah Palin liberals would insist she was too stupid for the job: Elizabeth Warren Flubs Red Sox Question Along With Rest Of Democratic Field. "Super-liberal Elizabeth Warren wants to be U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and she has no idea when the Red Sox won the World Series? I bet if she was asked what year Saul Alinsky wrote "Rules For Radicals" she'd be able to answer. (It was 1971.)"

Even the Detroit Free Press can no longer take the ineptitude in Detroit: It's up to city: Fix finances or face manager
Detroit NEAP scores the worst in the nation. The spin? Detroit Free Press: Detroit schools climb slightly in NAEP test scores. A few years ago the Detroit Lions were 0-16.The next season they were 2-14. An improvement in the strict sense of the word, but one that was unavoidable and could almost have been had by chance alone. Same thing with Detroit scores.
Culture of corruption (cont'd): Ex-chief of Oakland County Democratic Party gets probation for fake tea party scheme. "A former chairman of the Oakland County Democratic Party was sentenced to one-year probation, 180 hours of community service and $1,965 in fines Wednesday for his role in a fake Tea Party during the 2010 election."

Good news: Homeland Security Sends Sno-Cone Machines to Michigan
The nice thing about having Big Government bureauweenies in charge of our safety is that price is no object, because they buy anything that strikes their fancy and then charge it our grandchildren — even Sno-Cone machines:
Montcalm County recently received a $900 Arctic Blast Sno-Cone machine.
Detroit Free Press: Charter proponents compare public schools to slavery. "In YouTube videos, Clark Durant (who founded Cornerstone private and charter schools in Detroit and is now running for U.S. Senate) and Rev. Horace Sheffield III (who also owns a charter school in Detroit) invoke Abraham Lincoln, slavery and emancipation in an appeal to "free" schoolchildren, presumably from the chains of public education." Well let's see. The schools in Detroit graduate only 1 in 4, doom the kids to a life of failure and poverty, and they simply cannot get off the liberal plantation. They cannot leave the system! What else to call it?
Then again, doesn't this prove that Hillary is just as incompetent as O? Obama Voter Fraud Case Heats Up In Indiana. "The prospect that an estimated 150 signatures may have been forged on petitions has raised the question of whether President Obama actually reached the legitimate number of signatures needed to be placed on the ballot in Indiana. Under state law, presidential candidates need to file 500 signatures from each of the state's nine congressional districts. Indiana election officials say that in St. Joseph County, the Obama campaign qualified with 534 signatures; Clinton's camp had 704. The certified signatures were never challenged."
BreitbartTV: Christie To Obama: Get Out Of Your Chair. “Mr. President. We need a leader who will lead us to the moment…who will help define what the challenges of meeting the moment means… and then not to be cautious and safe and sit back and wait for someone else to do the hard work, but to get out of your chair and start doing the hard work yourself to make America a greater place.”

But if we win in 2012, you betcha there will be an abortion pill in every girls lunchbox from grade 4 on."

But where was the demonstration when the former mayor left Bing with a $200-million deficit, much like what former President George W.

Bush, whose administration paid newspaper columnists to write favorably about his policies." Of course, Obama doesn't pay the newspapers directly. His people work there. Pitts forgets this: Communications Corruption at the White House
The White House is working hard to secure deals that yield fluffy, feel good commentary about the Obama White House. One American White House reporter used colorful terms to describe the arrangement. The reporter said, "They want 'blow jobs' first [in the press sense]. Then you have to be on good behavior for a bit or be willing to deal, and then you get access."
Detroit Free Press: Editorial: Is bankruptcy the only answer for Detroit? Is the sky blue?

No law precludes Detroit's current elected leaders from renegotiating the city's obligations to vendors, employees, retirees and creditors, reducing services to residents, or raising user fees until its revenues and expenses are brought into balance. But it now seems highly unlikely that Mayor Dave Bing and the City Council will be able to do these things before the city runs out of money, perhaps before the coming spring.Am I spelling incompetent correctly? Or is it impotent? Or both?

So a few weeks ago this would be just fine because...? CBS: NYPD: Manhattan Woman Charged With Performing Self-Abortion. "Under New York state law, an abortion can only be performed on a fetus older than 24 weeks if the procedure is necessary to save the woman’s life."Again, what the heck is the difference between murdering the baby before or after 24 weeks?

Washington Post: Barney the bully: Congressman Frank's other legacy. "The morning after his retirement announcement, Rep. Barney Frank scored an interview on NBC's “Today” show, gaining the opportunity to act as an elder statesman in front of a TV audience of millions. Instead, the Massachusetts Democrat chose to quarrel with the interviewer." Yes. The Washington Post.
Weekly Standard: Obama Admin Seals Records of Murdered Border Patrol Agent Implicated in Fast and Furious. "And to think that Attorney General Eric Holder is getting testy about congressional calls for his resignation. After all, the Justice Department has nothing to hide, right?" Canned laughter ensues.
NewsBusters: Tina Brown: Obama 'Doesn't Like His Job'. "Recently on Morning Joe it was Jon Meacham suggesting that Barack Obama doesn't particularly like people and was in the wrong line of work. Today it was Tina Brown's turn, opining that PBO doesn't dig his gig." Me? I always thought that Obama was more concerned about being President rather than doing anything positive as President.
Where does the sympathy end? Movers, deputies refuse to evict 103-year-old woman. "A 103-year-old woman and her 83-year-old daughter were just moments from being evicted from their home Tuesday, when sheriff's deputies and the moving company hired by the bank decided not to go through with the action."

A Yeas & Nays source tells us she dined with seven friends for dinner and, of course, dessert -- which featured an edible chocolate sculpture and house-made artisanal chocolates by Chef Santosh Tiptur. We're told Obama's favorite savory was Chef Tiptur's Moroccan Swordfish Sliders with chermoula marinade, fennel salad, aged pecorino and hazelnut coffee dressing.
WUWT: Photoshopping in the “worseness”

Heh: Happy Meal Ban: McDonald's Outsmarts San Francisco
And yet it seems McDonald's has turned lemons into lemonade -- and is selling the sugary drink to San Francisco's children. Local McDonald's employees tell SF Weekly the company has devised a solution that appears to comply with San Francisco's "Healthy Meal Incentive Ordinance" that could actually make the company more money -- and necessitate toy-happy youngsters to buy more Happy Meals.That's what happens when you try to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
It turns out San Francisco has not entirely vanquished the Happy Meal as we know it. Come Dec. 1, you can still buy the Happy Meal. But it doesn't come with a toy. For that, you'll have to pay an extra 10 cents.
Megan McArdle: How Can Europe Possibly Save Itself? "Well, things are getting a little gnarly in Europe.

Utterly predictable: Holder lashes out at The Daily Caller while refusing to address growing calls for his resignation. "Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder today demanded The Daily Caller stop publishing articles about the growing calls in Congress for his resignation because of the failed Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking program."
If this were Rick Perry or Sarah Palin, it would be front-page news. The Heritage Foundation: Does Obama Know the Difference between Great Britain and England?
In a press conference this evening, the president referred in stumbling fashion to the “English Embassy” in Iran instead of the British Embassy. One can only imagine the kind of howls of derision that would greet any presidential contender if that kind of basic error were made before, say, the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. You can watch the video above.
In case the president is unaware, England forms part of Great Britain, which also includes Scotland and Wales, though not Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. There is no such thing as an “English” embassy anywhere in the world, and there hasn’t been one for several centuries.

There was much discussion and outcry over the network's negligence in using its 7-second delay feature in censoring Halperin's words. It seems it has erred on the side of caution given today's appearance by Ann Coulter. MSNBC used the delay button so often in this segment you can barely make out anything that Coulter is saying about Sen. John McCain. If you listen carefully, you can make out that Coulter refers to the Arizona senator as a "douche bag.""
Shocker: Busted: Ayers Admits To Obama Fundraiser That Obama Campaign Called ‘Myth’
In 2008 the Barack Obama for President campaign went into full denial mode accusing the McCain/Palin campaign of lying about a fundraiser held in domestic terrorist Bill Ayers's home for Barack Obama's Illinois State Senate campaign.We know why Gibbs would lie, but why would Ayers?

Stacy McCain: Naked Scarlett Johansson: ‘It Would Be Irresponsible’ Not to Support Obama
A story I missed: Somebody hacked her cell phone and got hold of naked photos Johansson had taken of herself and sent to her (now ex-)husband Ryan Reynolds. I only learned about this yesterday because I glanced at a headline linked on the sidebar of an article and (the mind plays funny tricks) got the idea she’d sent nude photos to Burt Reynolds.Read th whole thing.
That would be what we call “news,” so I had to click that link and immediately realized my error. Never heard of this Ryan Reynolds guy and, frankly, never much noticed Scarlett Johansson — she’s an actress who does, like, movies and stuff — and would have ignored the feature article in Vanity Fair if not for this:
Johansson, who has been active in campaigning for various Democratic political leaders, including Barack Obama, tells Biskind that nearly one term later “we’re all guilty of being idealistic, I and everyone who voted for him.” But in response to being asked if she would work for him again, she says, “It would be irresponsible not to.”

Detroit Free Press: Legislate away first amendment rights to free expression of religion. No - really:
Michigan got shamed nationwide earlier this month when the state Senate enacted an anti-bullying measure with an exception for "sincerely held" religious or moral beliefs. So we have every expectation that senators will reconvene this week with high motivation to fix their mistake promptly and restore the state's reputation.Just wait until some kid reads aloud a passage from Romans 1 and gets arrested for bullying. Because this is what it's all about.
Bullying is a behavior, not an expression of belief. People with the most deeply held religious and moral convictions can be expected to -- and generally do -- discuss those convictions calmly and respectfully, and they have every right, socially and constitutionally, to express themselves.

Toledo Blade: Michigan State U. associate professor's nude photos posed with students prompt questions
Danny Guthrie's work is well-known by campus officials, who have reviewed the issue, The Detroit News reported Wednesday. Coverage by The State News student newspaper drew recent attention at the East Lansing campus to Guthrie's photos, which depict the 65-year-old teacher bare-chested in some photos, while in others he's fully clothed. Guthrie poses with male and female students, faculty and colleagues and often is touching them.So for all you pedophiles out there, make sure you take pictures of your edgy sexuality and send them in to MSU to avoid arrest.
In an email to The Detroit News, Guthrie, whose biography on the university's website says he has been a faculty member there for 13 years, declined an interview and wrote: "It is not a great climate for being edgy in the area of sexuality."

A chef was stunned to find she was almost banned from buying two limes from a supermarket - because they could be classed as a weapon.What isn't classes a weapon, then?
Marisa Zoccolan, 31, popped into the new Asda supermarket close to her home in Wallsend, North Tyneside, to pick up some groceries, including the citrus fruits.
But when she tried to pay for them at the self-service checkout, the message 'amount exceeded, authorisation required' flashed up.
An assistant then came over and told her that more than one lime was deemed a weapon - because the citric acid could be squirted in someone's eye.
Liberal Media Bias: WaPo's Ezra Should Have De-Kleined
From JournoList to activist, it appears that WaPo‘s liberal blogger Ezra Klein is once again blurring the lines between being a journalist and trying to sway politics. In what appears to be at a minimum a breach of journalism ethics, Klein spoke to a group of Senate Democratic Chiefs of Staff last Friday about the Supercommittee, just days before the Committee announced its failing. “It was kind of weird,” said a longtime Senate Democratic aide, explaining that while people “enjoyed it” and gave it “positive reviews” this sort of thing is far from typical.Not to liberals.
A longtime Washington editor who deals with Capitol Hill regularly also said this is not the norm: “”I have never heard of a reporter briefing staffers. It’s supposed to be the other way around. This arrangement seems highly unusual.”
