DP Miracle Workers
A appropriately cynical appraisal of the hypocrisy of so-called "leaders" of the party of the left:
.....................During the 2004 presidential campaign, vice presidential candidate John Edwards promised that if Mr. Kerry were elected president, people like Christopher Reeve — who had just died — would get up from their wheelchairs and walk. Now we can add this to "The Miracles of President Kerry" — a book which, sadly, won't ever be written:
"If I was president, this wouldn't have happened," Mr. Kerry said this week, referring to the ongoing Middle East crisis. So, after curing paralysis and ending war, Mr. Kerry would be just one small miracle away from sainthood, if only the American people had been a bit wiser.
And so the Middle East continues to erupt and acute spinal injuries remain a fact of life. Humanity can blame Ohio.
As for what would have been Mr. Kerry's third miracle, the editorial page is at a loss. Healing the blind? Turning water into wine (of course when he isn't walking on it)? But those have already been done. Alas, the world might never know.
So instead of St. Kerry the Healer, it's plain old John Kerry the Knave.

The UNpeace
Jonah Goldberg discusses the elite religion:
If religion is the opiate of the masses, then the United Nations is the opiate of the elites.

Ann Coulter understands Dimocrats
She strikes again with compassion and understanding:
..........Democrats like to talk tough, but you can never trap them into fighting. There is always an obscure objection to be raised in this particular instance -- but in some future war they would be intrepid! One simply can't imagine what that war would be.
Democrats have never found a fight they couldn't run from.............

Death Cult?
Mark Steyn describes Palestinians specifically and their islamism generally:
The forces at play in the Middle East are beyond the Geopolitical Friars' Club. The median age in Gaza is 15.8 years old. How likely is it that any of those bespoke Palestinian "moderates" who've been permanent fixtures on CNN and BBC Middle East discussion panels for 30 years have any meaningful sway over a population of unemployed uneducated teenage boys raised by a death cult?

Editors are not elected - See the arrogance of left-wing power grab
This Texas Leftist obviously has no regard for election results when they go against his politics and fellow-travelers. He feels that editors should have all the power (parentheses mine):
In the end, however, it is up to the media outlet to decide what is in the best interest of the public,( NOT ELECTED OFFICIALS) when to shine a light on dark secrets and when public officials, including the president, must be held accountable for their actions.
Jihad at SCOTUS
Mark Steyn again:
