Too good to check: what's wrong with this picture?

Papa B (who else?) sent this one in.

Yikes.

When you've never said the Pledge of Allegiance before, you may not know what to do without a teleprompter.

They each have their left hand (note the wedding ring) over their right chest. Not the right hand over the heart!

Wow.

Snopes doesn't appear to have anything on this incident, so it's certain to be 100% accurate. Seriously, and in all fairness, we don't know the context of the photo, but it certainly looks a tad bizarre.

Update: It's a Photoshop -- and a pretty damn good one at that. Thanks to the unknown commenter.

Obama rates Coakley campaign 'a solid B+'

Privately, of course, White House insiders appear to have written off the thoroughly inept and unprepared Coakley.

On Monday, perhaps playing an expectations game that insulates the president, the White House signaled some pessimism about her chances of winning.

There may also be 'real genuine fear' in the White House that the election may not be close: i.e., Coakley would lose by double-digits.

MyFox Boston has Brown a 15-point winner.

ARG has Brown up by 7 and Insider Advantage puts the lead at 9.

Lefty blogger Nate Silver of 538.com, using his tippity-top secret projection model, has Brown a 3:1 favorite.

Meanwhile, John Kerry warned his party's SEIU thugs to beware of dangerous seniors, veterans and other concerned citizens who "mistakenly believe that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land".

Obama: I don't know Scott Brown's record, but I'll attack it anyway -- Unnamed 'White House advisers' throw Coakley under bus

This afternoon, President Obama visited Massachusetts in a last-ditch effort to save Martha Coakley's disastrous campaign for . Doesn't he look ecstatic to be there?

"He's drivin' his truck around the Commonwealth... I don't know him, he may be a perfectly nice guy... I don't know whether he's been fighting for you up until now..."

Oops. Since Scott Brown is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard, it should be quite apparent he's been fighting for them.

The Times of London puts it plainly, headlining today's article on the race "Voters desert President Barack Obama in Ted Kennedy seat":

“People who I never in a million years thought would have voted Republican are going to him,” said Rhonda Serre, a mother of two who has lost her job but still supports the Democrats. On Friday Brown was joined by Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York. “This election will send a signal and a very dramatic one,” Giuliani said. “Believe me, the Democrats are frightened.”

Most analysts still believe the Democrats can win. But even a narrow defeat will be portrayed as a victory by the Republicans. Brown’s Senate campaign is already being studied by party strategists as a model. “He’s making healthcare a front-and-centre issue in the most liberal state in the country and it’s working for him,” said Whit Ayres, co-founder of Resurgent Republic, a group of conservative strategists.

“It’s the albatross around the Democrats’ necks.”

Obama advisers are quietly spreading word that Coakley's campaign is doomed.

Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday.

The sources added that the advisers are still hopeful that Obama's visit to Massachusetts on Sunday - coupled with a late push by Democratic activists - could help Coakley pull out a narrow victory in an increasingly tight race against Republican state Sen. Scott Brown.

However, the presidential advisers have grown increasingly pessimistic in the last three days about Coakley's chances after a series of missteps by the candidate, sources said.

InTrade now has Brown trading at 65, a five-point lift over the last 90 minutes alone.


Update via Twitter: "Overheard in Coakley camp 'I wanted Whitey Bulger not Obama to stop by'". Heh.

Reversal of Fortune: InTrade has Brown over Coakley 60 - 40

Reports from the Scott Brown rally in Worcester were 'electric' while the last-ditch Obama-Coakley event was anything but. The President and the soon-to-be-failed Democrat candidate for The Kennedy Seatcouldn't even fill a 3,500 seat venue; and their carefully screened crowd was moribund -- and even included a few hecklers.

InTrade has the momentum shifting dramatically to the GOP candidate, a 10-point shift since yesterday.

And if Brown wins, interim Senator Paul Kirk is immediately terminated and can not cast the 60th vote for MarxCare™.


Update at 21:18 ET: Brown is now trading at 65.

New York Times plots return to profitability through bake sale and brain-damaged subscription scheme but mostly brain-damaged subscription scheme

Ann Althouse relays word that the New York Times is mulling a return to some kind of paid subscription scheme.

Never mind that Pinchy's last attempt at erecting a pay-wall -- called TimesSelect -- failed miserably, likely because there are only 48,726 alternative liberal media outlets. And most have far better reporting and analysis than that provided by the likes of Dowd and Krugman.

Pinch, a word of advice: the Internet doesn't care if you make money.

One personal friend of Sulzberger said a final decision could come within days, and a senior newsroom source agreed, adding that the plan could be announced in a matter of weeks. (Apple’s tablet computer is rumored to launch on January 27, and sources speculate that Sulzberger will strike a content partnership for the new device, which could dovetail with the paid strategy.) It will likely be months before the Times actually begins to charge for content, perhaps sometime this spring. Executive Editor Bill Keller declined to comment. Times spokesperson Diane McNulty said: “We’ll announce a decision when we believe that we have crafted the best possible business approach. No details till then.”

For all the praise heaped upon Democrats for their "savvy" use of the Internet (primarily geared towards campaign fundraising fraud) these leftists really don't understand the Internet.

Countdown to failure in 3... 2...

Mass. Hysteria

A warning by Dan from New York:

Memo to conservatives: Don't read the rave reviews coming from the Bay State.

No doubt the needle has swung to the right in the Massachusetts senate race. Still, it's only enough to make it a very tight election. But this is too big to fail if you live in the White House or anywhere along the liberal food chain, and the fear of losing is going to inflame the left's cadres. They're going to use every dirt bag trick in the book - and make up some new ones in the days ahead. It may not be Ted Kennedy's seat but it is Barney Frank's state and David Axelrod's world.

Don't put the champagne on ice yet, friends. Don't even buy it. If you want to win, take nothing for granted. Run scared too.


Genius: Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein spends 30 pages describing how government should suppress free speech without mentioning First Amendment

President Obama's Regulatory Czar is a well-known law professor named Cass Sunstein, who regularly exhibits a troubling disregard for the Constitution. Last year Sunstein co-authored a 30-page paper on the government's obligations to combat conspiracy theories (i.e., free speech). Among the "conspiracy theories" that Sunstein would have the government rebut:

• "The theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud."

• "The 1996 crash of TWA flight 800 was caused by a ... missile."

In this discussion of public speech, Sunstein fails to mention the Constitution, the First Amendment or the Bill of Rights -- even once.

What can government do about conspiracy theories? Among the things it can do, what should it do? We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories. (3) Government might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories. (4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech. (5) Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help. Each instrument has a distinctive set of potential effects, or costs and benefits, and each will have a place under imaginable conditions. However, our main policy idea is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories, which involves a mix of (3), (4) and (5).

...we suggest a distinctive tactic for breaking up the hard core of extremists who supply conspiracy theories: cognitive infiltration of extremist groups, whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of those who subscribe to such theories...

...Some conspiracy theories create serious risks. They do not merely undermine democratic debate; in extreme cases, they create or fuel violence. If government can dispel such theories, it should do so. One problem is that its efforts might be counterproductive, because efforts to rebut conspiracy theories also legitimate them. We have suggested, however, that government can minimize this effect by rebutting more rather than fewer theories, by enlisting independent groups to supply rebuttals, and by cognitive infiltration designed to break up the crippled epistemology of conspiracy minded groups and informationally isolated social networks...

How could an attorney and law professor omit the First Amendment issues inherent in a discussion of the government suppressing free speech which -- in the case of global warming fraud -- sometimes proves true?

Simple. He's another of President Obama's leftist hacks who concerns himself only with helping the government amass more power at the expense of our founding documents.

Best of IowaHawk's Proposed Martha Coakley Ads Targeting Scott Brown

In a sure sign that the apocalypse is near, IowaHawk opened up comments on his post looking for the best 30-second Martha Coakley commercials. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between them and Coakley's real attack ad -- which sets new standards for sleaziness -- illustrated below.

My favorite fake attack ads?

MAN
Say, I really like Scott Brown's pickup truck. It's wicked pissah!

WOMAN
Sure, Ted. If you like lynchings.

MAN
Whaddaya mean?

WOMAN
Just look at the record, Ted. From James Byrd to Matthew Shepard to the last scene in Easy Rider, pickup trucks are the official vehicles of Southern Republican lynch mobs. So are you still voting for Scott Brown?

MAN
No truckin' way!


[Sound of dolphins and laughing children]

V/O: If you are like most people, you love baby dolphins.

Martha Coakley: "I am Martha Coakley, and I love baby dolphins."

V/O: After all, what kind of demonic, kitten-eating freak doesn't love baby dolphins?

[Sound of maniacal laughing and chainsaws]

[Chainsaws and laughing fades...children sobbing...dolphins are heard no more]

V/O: Remember, every time someone votes for Scott Brown, a baby dolphin dies.


Musical background: Theme from Deliverance:

Footage of Scott Brown, strangely toothless, driving a General-Lee paint-jobbed pickup down a red-dirt road.

He pulls into the parking lot of a huge glass mega church. Every vehicle is festooned with “It’s a Child, Not a Choice.” bumper stickers and gun-racks.

[Music changes to the Darth Vader/Empire Theme from Star Wars]

Cut to inside where thousands of beefy-faced white people with over-sprayed hair wave their arms in the air and sway back and forth while images of aborted fetuses and gay weddings flash onto two giant screens. The singing turns to chanting;;Scott Brown….Scott-Brown. Intensity grows until a huge set of double doors bursts open and Scott Brown, now attired in a gleaming blue suit, his intact teeth sparkling, appears as if a vision, with haloes of klieg-lights behind him. The crowd roars, Cameras cut to faces in the crowd: a military man in uniform, his congenital inability to qualify for a real job evident in his vacant, brutal face. A hugely pregnant woman with big hair in a calico dress, her 9 disturbingly immaculate children lined up at her side. A fat old man with an NRA ball-cap on his head. The chants swell in volume and ferocity as Scott Brown runs down the aisle.

Cut to Massachusetts. A mob of unwashed and unlettered southerners and Midwesterners tosses books onto a bonfire outside the Harvard Coop. Men in “Tea Bagger” shirts roll oil drums labeled “Toxic Waste” to the shore and disgorge their contents into Boston Harbor and the Charles. Big-haired women wearing cross necklaces and matching polyester separates drag women off the sidewalks of Wellesley for forced leg and underarm shaving. Bible-brandishing goons storm the bar at The Country Club and snatch the martinis out of the flaccid fingers of sobbing RINOs. Andrew Sullivan wanders, half-clothed and weeping in the smoldering ruins of P-town.

Images fade to Leni Riefenstahl black-and-white.

Graphic: Vote for Martha Coakley: Before it is TOO LATE. Drumroll. Silence. Gun shots. A scream.

End.


Harry Reid: Scott Brown is a racist.

Tim Geitner: Scott Brown failed to report $300 he earned under the table on his 1982 1040.

Hillary Clinton: Scott Brown doesn't speak fluent russian.

Kevin Jennings: Our children are not safe with Scott Brown.

Barney Frank: Thcott Bwown doethn't know the fiwst thing about the mawtgage induthtwy. And he hunts bunny wabbits.

Nancy Pelosi: Scott Brown is wealthy. He associates with wealthy people.He is very partisan and doesn't work well with others.

Senator Byrd: Scott Brown is a racist.

Joe Biden: Scott Brown says stupid shit all the time!

Charlie Rangel: Scott Brown exploits tax loopholes.

Janet Napolitano: Scott Brown refuses to recognize the threat of terrorism posed by our retired veterans.

Sheila Black: Look! I just found an honest-to-goodness REAL DOCTOR who opposes Scott Brown!(ring ring ring!) hold on! I gotta get this.....

Barack Obama: Let me be perfectly clear! Scott Brown is totally inexperienced and unfit for this important job. He doesn't have a clue!


[SCENE: Two moms are having coffee in the kitchen, keeping an eye on their kids playing in the back yard]

Jane: Say, Peg, can you believe that election? I never thought good old Ted Kennedy's Senate seat would go to a Republican!

Peg: Tell me about it! Especially considering how much that Scott Brown hates women. Can you believe that he sponsored an amendment that would force our daughters to get their taxpayer-funded contraceptives at a hospital that didn't have religous objections? Talk about inconvenient!

Jane: I'm pretty sure that's how it was in Nazi Germany, too.

Peg: And the worst part is, those pesky reporters are able to ask questions of politicians all day long, without getting knocked to the ground!

Jane: Thomas Jefferson must be rolling in his grave.

Peg: Still, he's just one vote out of a hundred. It can't be all that bad... [looks concerned] can it?

[Camera pans to window, transitions to kids playing in yard. Eight-year-old girl kneels down to pluck daisy and sniff it. Switch focus to long-range as mushroom cloud erupts in distance.]

Voiceover: Vote Coakley. Or else.


Mom : Hey sweetie, why you crying?
10 year old Susie : Mom, I just heard Scott Brown is trying to kill me. Is that right?
Mom : Of course not Susie, Scott Brown is not trying to kill you, he's trying to kill all children,
Susie : But, but, why?
Mom : Cuz that's what Republicans do, they kill children, and kittens, but mostly children.
Susie : But...how?
Mom : By killing Uncle Teddy's health-care bill, that's how. Their pro-cancer, anti-kitten agenda has finally been exposed. They're even planning to put cancer in the drinking water.
Susie : Didn't Uncle Teddy die of brain cancer?
Mom : Infected with brain cancer, Susie. Infected with brain cancer by Republicans.
Susie : I'm scared.
Mom : Don't be scared Susie. If Scott Brown is elected, your father and I will take care of you, if you know what I mean.
Susie : The Kopechne treatment?
Mom : Of course.
Voice Over : Don't make parents in Massachusettes kill their children. Don't make pet owners in Massachusettes kill their kittens. Vote for the pro-child, pro-kitten candidate. Vote for Martha Coakley.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

Well, to be fair, I don't know whether he's a drunk or not, but Ed Schultz certainly qualifies on two of the three Animal House criteria. Radio Equalizer caught the gelatinous tub of lard advocating vote fraud -- yes, the destruction of the Democratic process -- in order to prevent Scott Brown from winning the Massachusetts special election.

SCHULTZ (23:02): I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times.

I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to.

Yeah, that's right.

I'd cheat to keep these bastards out.

I would.

'Cause that's exactly what they are.

Coming from the party that is stonewalling efforts to prosecute the New Black Panthers who intimidated voters at a polling place in Philadelphia, this should come as no great surprise.

The modern Democrat Party is so out-of-control, so drunk on power and so willing to destroy representative democracy that it often resembles an organized crime family. JFK and Truman wouldn't recognize what this Soros-funded entity has become.


Holy Crap! InTrade has Coakley in dead heat with Scott Brown

InTrade, possibly the most accurate political prediction market in the U.S., now shows the Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley special election as a dead heat. Less than 48 hours ago, Coakley was trading 77 to 23 over Brown.

Each candidate trades at 50.0, a stunning reversal for Coakley who once traded at 96. Shares in Brown have risen from 5 in a matter of less than a week.

InTrade's accuracy is well regarded. That the race is now even money speaks volumes for the reversal of fortune.

Party of No Family Values: John Edwards Gets Caught Cheating Again; Status of Second Love Child Uncertain

The party that proudly proclaims its disdain for family values has a serial standard-bearer for adultery.

The National Enquirer, which was the first to report on John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter and their resulting love child, appears to have scooped the world again.

The Enquirer learned that Edwards embarked upon a "sex-and-booze bender" after a Tiger Woods-style blowout with wife Elizabeth.

Reports that Edwards spent several consecutive nights "trawling bars in search of women" apparently set the Enquirer's reporters in motion.

The episode was reportedly precipitated by his wife Elizabeth who booted John from their house amid threats that she was "finally signing the divorce papers" that had been drawn up after reports of his first affair. Edwards then repaired to a vacation home on Figure Eight Island near Wilimington, North Carolina.

[He then] attempted to bed a female bartender as well as bar patrons young enough to be his daughter, say shocked witnesses... bartender Stephanie Breshears revealed that Edwards repeatedly tried to get her to go back to his house for sex. The 34-year-old divorced mother-of-two said Edwards hit on her "for four consecutive nights" at the local Kornerstone Bistro, where she works.

"I think he's scum... He was definitely looking to pick up women when he came in here - and he wanted me to go back to his house."

Stephanie revealed she first met Edwards last August when he arrived at the Kornerstone, five miles from his vacation home, with wife Elizabeth and the couple's 27-year-old daughter Cate.

"But that night was very busy, and I didn't have a lot of time to socialize," said the pretty bartender. "I didn't see any of them again until John Edwards came in on Dec. 30 - the first of four consecutive nights.

"He said he'd been thinking about me since he and his wife were in last summer. He said I had run through his mind 'time and time' again. He said I was 'attractive.'

"He asked what I was doing after work and I told him I had plans with friends. But he told me he was staying on Figure Eight Island, and that I should join him."

Incredibly, just minutes after giving Stephanie his phone number, Edwards started flirting with another woman - right in front of Stephanie.

"He told her he was 'separated, soon to be divorced,'" the sexy bartender divulged.

Not to worry -- legacy media will pick this story up soon, right after they get done with the investigation into Sarah Palin's controversial child-rearing techniques.

Don't you love how Democrats get away with anything -- driving off a bridge and killing a young lady; running a male prostitution ring out of a Congressman's Beltway residence; seducing interns -- and never have to pay a political price?

That's why I call them the Party of No Family Values.

Ah... Sorry to bother you President Obama, Sir

Papa B sent this one in.

Ah... Sorry to bother you President Obama, Sir

Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama, sir. Uhm... know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean serving as president is very important and . . . ah... I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute okay, sir?

See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.

Hey, this White House sure is a nice place! The wife sees pictures of this place on TV all the time and says boy she wishes she had digs like this you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow. I saw something like that in a museum once!

Oh, sorry sir. I didn't mean to get off the track. So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island? No, I didn't think so...

Well, listen, anyways, I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be 'locked' or 'not available'. I'm sure it's just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are... ... ...have them written down here somewhere... oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you.

Could you help me please find these things, sir?

3. Columbia Thesis paper -- 'not available'
4. Harvard University records and transcripts -- Not released

Oh hey... listen! I know you are busy! Is this too much for you now? I mean tell you what. I will come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I mean, I know you are busy, so I will just let myself out. I will be back tomorrow. And the day after...

'Who wants to know these things?' asks President Obama.
