Why would anyone think that you could get away with plagiarism in the Internet age?
I thought about plagiarizing once. It was a far, far better thing than I had ever done…

Good luck with that whole BP thing!

"Reconquistas" and Other Seditionists
Michelle Malkin has this very interesting picture on her website:
Just one question: You show the Maya of Guatemala: Shouldn't the indigenous people of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica have the same rights? What about your "imaginary border drawn in the sand" on the southern border of Mexico to keep the indigenous people out? Where are your rallies to secure their rights within your own borders?
Hm. Thought so.
Don't let the door hit your fanny on your way out of the country.

Al, Tipper Gore to Separate, Divorce: Al Gore Confesses True Love, Gaia?
by the Left Coast Rebel
Politico is just breaking the news of Al and Tipper Gore's separation/divorce:
Via Memeorandum.
UPDATED: Perhaps Al Gore and Tipper Gore's divorce will shed some public light on Al Gore's 'laughing all the way to the bank' business bonanza of eco-alarmism. This article at Daily Finance highlights how Al Gore was to become the world's first 'carbon billionaire.'
Satirical but close to the truth for Al Gore's eco-hypocrisy, the Gore Mansion:
Will this go to Tipper or to Al? The actual Gore, Tennessee mansion:
Also, Doug Ross gives us a glimpse into the life of royalty via. public hysteria fleecing. Al Gore's Montecito, California, $9 million carbon footprint stomping mansion:
Pictures into the world of the liberal oligarchical ruling class. The hypocrisy of Al Gore's lifestyle is the equivalent of a minister owning a chain of strip clubs.
Can you say undisclosed sum
Politico is just breaking the news of Al and Tipper Gore's separation/divorce:
Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance enlivened Washington and the campaign trail for a quarter century, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday.
In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said: “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.
“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”
The e-mail was obtained by POLITICO and confirmed by Kalee Kreider of the office of Al and Tipper Gore. Kreider said there would be no further comment.
Via Memeorandum.

"Humanitarian Aid" Exemplified
Roger Kimball over at Pajamas Media had this little bit of video (one minute) about the captured "humanitarian aid" vessel Mavi Marmara:
The weapons cache on that vessel was small potatoes, but there was no way for the Israelis to know what kind of weapons it might be carrying. Having said that, slingshots, stones, clubs and knives are hardly the stuff of “relief supplies” are they?
In fact, slingshots are the kind of thing one would use to increase tensions and provoke confrontation, yet still trying to maintain a sense of deniability, are they not?
The Mavi Marmara provoked the confrontation by attempting to run the blockade. Had they allowed inspection of their cargo, violence would have been avoided.
All in all, it was a badly staged bit of political theater. Beating Israeli troops with metal pipes and throwing them overboard, all so that you can transport slingshots, clubs and knives into a trouble area speaks of anything but "peace".

Nancy Pelosi Channels Jesus, the 'Word Made Flesh'
by the Left Coast Rebel
Nancy Pelosi said what? This is just so wrong on so many levels that I can't even list them all here. Perhaps the scariest thing about the following from Queen Pelosi is that it is not a gaffe. CNS News reports:

Nancy Pelosi said what? This is just so wrong on so many levels that I can't even list them all here. Perhaps the scariest thing about the following from Queen Pelosi is that it is not a gaffe. CNS News reports:
(CNSNews.com) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says she believes she must pursue public policies "in keeping with the values" of Jesus Christ, "The Word made Flesh."Even worse, Pelosi perhaps let the cat out of the bag and showed 'divine intervention' belief in liberal/progressive/statist 'from each according to his need' politik:
Pelosi, who is a Catholic and who favors legalized abortion, voted against the ban on partial-birth abortion that was enacted into law in 2003.
At a May 6 Catholic Community Conference on Capitol Hill, the speaker said: “They ask me all the time, ‘What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?’ And one time, ‘What is your favorite word?’ And I said, ‘My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word.”
“And that Word," Pelosi said, "is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn’t it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word.Separation of church and state? Where is the ACLU on this Pelosi (non) gaffe? Why does the statist left always get a pass when they use religion to implement policiy? Watch it:

Top Ten Ways that Barack Obama Can Act Presidential
by Proof
Top Ten Ways that Barack Obama Can Act (or at least look ) Presidential (not necessarily in order of importance):
10. Put the Sestak matter to rest. Instruct your people to fully cooperate with the justice department and the press until this is resolved and behind you.
9. Lay off the golf course. Every president needs to get away from the pressure of the job every now and then. You need to get away from the pressure of the golf course and take care of some business now and then.
8. Leave your children out of this. If we want to hear cute stories about what some kid said, we'll dig up Art Linkletter!
7. Try treating our allies with a modicum of respect. Your childish snubs of Netanyahu are worse than your choice of DVD gifts to the British.
6. Meet with the governors of states in crisis. What are you afraid of? Avoiding the governors of Arizona and Louisiana makes you look extremely partisan or incompetent (or both).
5. Secure the border. Twelve hundred unarmed guardsmen aren't going to make a dent in the problems of drugs, weapons, or the potential for terrorists to enter the country.
4. Put a cap on all government spending to last year's budget plus inflation. Except the military. Bring military salaries up to last year's plus inflation.
3. Stop publicly flogging BP. When you stomp your little foot and demand that they stop the leak, as if that had never occurred to them before is childish. Especially when you tell the world that you are in charge of the cleanup. You come across as shallow and slightly schizoid.
2. Facilitate drilling in ANWAR. Until the environmental and technical problems in the Gulf are resolved, the country needs domestic oil product.
and the number one thing Obama can to to act Presidential?
1. Stop blaming Bush for everything. Put on your big boy pants and man up. Take responsibility for your budget, your spending, your foreign policy and your regulatory agencies. You're the president. Act like one.
Update: One down, nine to go
