After nearly universal condemnation of this idiotic decision, and five weeks of costly silence, the Whitehouse recently called an urgent news briefing to report that the bomber had finally started talking again and was giving really great information, thereby proving that their "mint on the pillow" approach was paying off.
But there are two problems. The first is that this Whitehouse, having shown itself to be unserious about terrorism, now lacks the credibility to be believed. The second problem is that if Abdulmutallab really is talking, then the value of the intelligence has been wasted because the Whitehouse just told Al Qaeda that we've got it, in a transparent attempt to prop up the president's flagging popularity.

CBS has been fielding complaints from NOW and Planned Parenthood, who feel that either Tebow's ad shouldn't run...or equal time should be given to extolling the fast, fun, carefree lifestyle provided by abortion. After abortion. After abortion...

Knowing a marketing niche when we see one,weproudly present the stylish new Hope n' Change burial t-shirt for liberals who wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything else!

The so-called "bosom bombs" would be undetectable using current scanning technology, and could be set off using a syringe (of the type recently carried by the Christmas Day "underwear bomber.")
While no official strategy has been advanced to thwart potential terror attacks, Barack Obama reminds us: "an alert and courageous citizenry are far more resilient than an isolated extremist."So keep your eyes open, America.

Whether the Christmas Day bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has any information which could foil that attack is currently unknown, owing to the decision by Barack Obama and Eric Holder to give him a lawyer and "the right to remain silent" after less than an hour of questioning.
The administration claims, however, that Abdulmutallab is now talking again. Only yesterday, for instance, he revealed that the mint which is left on his pillow each night tastes like "a wintery burst of yumminess."
UPDATE: Showing that he is also a "glass half full kind of guy," Attorney General Eric Holder has issued a letter stating that his decision to Mirandize Abdulmutallab was made with "no objection" from intelligence chiefs...which is the very nicest way of saying, as National Intelligence Adm Dennis Blair did under oath, that neither he nor his agency were consulted before Holder's decision was made.
Either Holder or Blair is lying. We don't think it's Blair.

The president is asking for a mind-boggling $3.8 trillion, and declaring a "budget freeze" that actually locks in current spending excesses at such ridiculous levels that economists are losing hope that America's fiscal future can ever be salvaged.
Covering the event, MSNBC's Chris Matthews breathlessly said of the groundhog's shadow, "I forgot it was black!"
