William Owens, Jr.: THE DNA OF AMERICA v. AN OBAMA IDEOLOGY

"After exploding our national debt to over ten trillion dollars in under a year, Obama has weakened our Union. China refuses to invest in our economy and investors are now putting their cash elsewhere, namely in China. The twisted idea that activating a press machine can ink our way out of debt is destroying the American dollar. The proposed second stimulus, the abject failure of the first stimulus and continual reckless spending, is weakening us, making us vulnerable to our enemies, and lessening our financial ability to tend to the needs of our own families. This is not in our DNA."

Geoff Metcalf: ENEMY AMONG US

"Investigators want to know if Hasan maintained contact with a radical mosque leader from Virginia, Anwar al Awlaki, who now lives in Yemen and runs a web site that promotes jihad around the world against the U.S.

"In a recent blog posting titled 'Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing,' Awlaki calls Hasan a 'hero' and a 'man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people.'"

A hero mows down innocent people?

Rand Simberg: Whether or Not Obama Focuses on Economy, It Gets Worse

"The problem is not that Obama doesn't spend enough time on the economy — his philosophy isn't capable of (or interested in?) stimulating growth anyway."

Yid with Lid: Anita Dunn QUITS

"In a surprising move Anita Dunn, White House communications director is leaving her post at the end of the month. Dunn who set back the image of the presidency at least fifty years is most famous for taking on the Drudge Report and losing and then taking on Fox News and losing."

Financial Post: Flawed climate data

"I have been probing the arguments for global warming for well over a decade. In collaboration with a lot of excellent coauthors I have consistently found that when the layers get peeled back, what lies at the core is either flawed, misleading or simply non-existent. The surface temperature data is a contaminated mess with a significant warm bias, and as I have detailed elsewhere the IPCC fabricated evidence in its 2007 report to cover up the problem. Climate models are in gross disagreement with observations, and the discrepancy is growing with each passing year. The often-hyped claim that the modern climate has departed from natural variability depended on flawed statistical methods and low-quality data. The IPCC review process, of which I was a member last time, is nothing at all like what the public has been told: Conflicts of interest are endemic, critical evidence is systematically ignored and there are no effective checks and balances against bias or distortion.

"I get exasperated with fellow academics, and others who ought to know better, who pile on to the supposed global warming consensus without bothering to investigate any of the glaring scientific discrepancies and procedural flaws. Over the coming few years, as the costs of global warming policies mount and the evidence of a crisis continues to collapse, perhaps it will become socially permissible for people to start thinking for themselves again. In the meantime I am grateful for those few independent thinkers, like Steve McIntyre, who continue to ask the right questions and insist on scientific standards of openness and transparency."
