Why does Newt Gingrich Continue To Sell Out Conservatism?
Education Secretary Arne Duncan, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich and civil rights leader/onetime Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton will hit the road together later this month in the name of education reform. The tour starts Sept. 29 in Philadelphia, heads to New Orleans on Nov. 3 and then to Baltimore on Nov. 13 -- cities selected for what they can teach others about school reform. The Department of Education plans to add other stops, including a rural venue.

Dealing With the Environmental Lunatics on the Left and Their Allies on the Right
Wordsmith Leslee Kulba has eloquently expressed her frustrations with the "know-nothings" who have been scared into "knowing" that their land and water is contaminated by CTS. I share that frustration.
A portion:
Scientists with the EPA explained that they were trying to maximize test readings in order to score the 28.5 points required to get federal superfunds. They’ve been trying for years, and they keep falling short. They tested where they knew chemical drums had been stored, and they tried to test as the winds blew favorably. They are even considering gerrymandering the site to maximize densities for readings.
A number of persons in the area have contracted cancer and/or died. No benchmarks were provided to the public to define normal death rates and normal incidences of cancer for other areas. The scientists said, rightly, that correlation did not constitute causation, but they would need to determine the types of cancers the residue chemicals and their byproducts produced.
MacQueen offered to produce petition signatures, reminiscent of sarcastic barbs about polls replacing fact. It was as if a couple more signatures could raise the ppm readings over the threshold. In a democracy, if one expert detects a fatal flaw overlooked by seven novices, he’s simply outvoted.

Commentary
I have noticed that a disturbing number of Conservatives seem to be caught up in this environmental hysteria...either through ignorance or for profit. Either way, it is a shame and plays right into the hands of Revolutionary Defeatism, and helps speed our way to the destruction of our society.
It kind of reminds me of the Twilight Zone Episode The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street:

Newsprint Death Watch Continues...
CHICAGO-- Newspaper and newspaper groups are likely to default on their debt and go out of business next year -- leaving "several cities" with no daily newspaper at all, Fitch Ratings says in a report on media released Wednesday.
"Fitch believes more newspapers and newspaper groups will default, be shut down and be liquidated in 2009 and several cities could go without a daily print newspaper by 2010," the Chicago-based credit ratings firm said in a report on the outlook for U.S. media and entertainment.
Fitch is generally pessimistic across the board, assigning negative outlets to nearly all sectors from Yellow Pages to radio and TV and theme parks. But the newspaper industry is the most at risk of defaulting, it says.
"Much of the business risk for the media sector is likely to continue to be concentrated within the newspaper sub-sector," the report says. "Fitch expects newspaper industry revenue growth will be negative for the foreseeable future as both ad pricing and linage will be under pressure within each of the four main components of newspaper companies' revenue streams: circulation and local, classified and national advertising. Newsprint costs could rise, and it could be difficult to offset revenue declines with cost cuts."

More bad news for the Democrat Party Stenography Association. If papers focused on reporting news instead of the party line, they might do better. I have canceled all my newspaper subscriptions over the course of a few years because I perceived an unhealthy lefty stance, a laziness in reporting real news, local or national.
I think papers could still pull their fat out of the fire if they were to build their online activities to keep up with fast-breaking news, link more to other "non-newspaper sources" of information in the community and incorporate more ways of producing revenue streams from that content. I have some ideas, but it won't be for free.
Which reminds me...most of the local papers don't incorporate RSS Feeds to push content out the door to draw readers to their website...and those that do, have odd implementation.

Obama Hires Castro's Lawyer for White House Counsel
The author of the below piece will be on Fausta's Radio Show at 10am today.
Fausta has an excellent blog you should really check out.
If you miss it, the show show be available in podcast form here within a few minutes of the show's ending:
So it took a little doing, but Craig finally prevailed -- that Castro's "escorts" would constantly accompany Juan Miguel in the U.S. (as witnessed by Pedro Porro) was probably the gist of the deal with Craig.
So in effect, the man who will serve as chief White House Counsel, once agreed to function as a fully deputized agent for a Stalinist regime's KGB-trained secret police.

An Open Letter to Christine Todd Whitman and Robert M. Bostock
Here is my answer to you and your RINO friends, conservatism works when it is tried.
The GOP is ours, and if you don't like it, you are certainly free to leave the party, we won't, and we will fight you and your RINO friends every step of the way. Liberal and Moderate Republicans like you and John McCain have been enablers of the left for years...if you want to keep losing elections, keep on running RINOs for office. We will be challenging RINOs in the primaries and refusing to vote for them when they get past us because it is so hard to unseat an incumbent. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, ladies.
We have something planned for you over the next couple of years...stay tuned as we embark on a crusade to inject even more conservatism into our party...from the grassroots up.
Sincerely,
Thunder Pig

Charles Johnson and his Lunatic Lizards
What set off this latest tirade was an attack by Charles on Andrew Bostom...
Source Atlas ShrugsAndrew Bostom breaks his silence on the the blogosphere's dirty not so little secret - the smear campaign of "fascist" fighters for freedom. The thing is, it is so tedious and essentially small but terribly damaging. And while we have all recovered (nicely, thank you) the real harm has been the setback to the transatlantic counter jihad movement. Perhaps Europe is lost but why throw it away with both hands? There are brave, wonderful warriors desperate for a global network to fight the relentless spread of sharia and Islam (please watch my interview this past Thursday with Geert Wilders).
So much evil, so little time and this is where we are
expending our limited energies?Dr. Andrew Bostom scholar without equal.
Johnson over at LGF has effectively destroyed the transatlantic counter jihad movement and smeared the few and the brave. He's lost it. The latest in his cross hairs is
Hat Tip The Lion of Judah
I hate Charles Johnson for the damage that he has done to the Counterjihad.
He continues to be dismayed that we fight on without him...in ways his tiny little lizard brain can only imagine.
