Ehrenreich: Giffords Shooting Meant To Intimidate The Left
The desiccated feminist, Barbara Ehrenreich, poses this question in an op-ed in today’s LA Times: Why are Americans such wusses?

Reid not happy about Obama’s earmark ban pledge.
I don’t know why he’s bothering to yell at the President over this, though: the question of whether Harry Reid has the ability to get earmarks passed into legislation was abruptly settled last November.

Two Great Takes on SOTU
Hop on over to Mark Levin’s Facebook Page for his take on the State of the Union. The first paragraph starts it off nicely. President Obama’s foot remains where it has been since the day he entered the Oval Office, on the gas pedal. He’s not braking for anyone or anything. All this pre-SOTU spin [...]
